Chapter 32 - Operation Rainforest Rousting Part 3
Splero and the others prepared their equipment as they boarded a large ZPD-sponsored armored van along with the remaining ZPD officials that were assigned for the operation ahead. Soon, they departed the Headquarters, just a few minutes after 8 AM that morning.
The traffic is quite smooth for the occupants. It seems that they will expecting a quick arrival at the Rainforest District in a few minutes. While the trip goes ahead, Splero prepped up himself and the others before him.
"Well, guys...This is it. Our first ZPD Police Operation will be commencing in a few moments. Let's hope that the criminal resistance will be minimal as possible." - Splero hoped -
"I'm quite nervous. I never been in a police operation before." - Judy said, slightly timid -
"Just get used to it, Judy. You will handle it soon." - Splero reassured -
"Yeah, Carrots. Besides, we can help you out with moral support later on." - Nick added -
"Thanks." - Judy replied, smiling -
Chimpan then took out a paper wrapping full of bubble gum from his very knapsack.
"Anyone for some bubble gum?" - Chimpan asked -
Everyone raised their hands...even the other ZPD officers do raise their hands. They all take a strip of bubble gum except for Splero, who was busy in writing his journal.
"Splero?" - Michelle called -
"Yeah?" - Splero responded -
"Would you like a strip of bubble gum?" - Michelle asked -
"No, thanks. I'll pass." - Splero replied with a friendly smile -
"What are you doing?" - Nick asked, curious -
"I'm practicing my calligraphy, Nick. I'll like to write a letter to my other close friends at the Puppet Kingdom of Splerinia right before I go to the police front lines." - Splero explained -
"Oh. Ok then." - Nick replied -
While the others chewed their bubble gums, Splero kept on writing.
After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the northern edge border of the Rainforest District. A small ZPD camp was already based there as well.
"Ok, guys. Let's roll." - Splero remarked -
They disembarked the armored van. With the crates being carried by Splero and Chimpan, they joined the single file formation of ZPD officers and cadets standing in the field. Chief Bogo arrived and the officers saluted before him.
"Here he comes." - Judy said -
They silenced themselves as Bogo's voice sounded to the single file.
"Everyone, today will be your very first police operation in ZPD history. Since you're all here at this very moment, we will be rousting out all of the remnants of the so-called "Night Howler Syndicate". Even though the masterminds of this recent syndicate were already arrested long ago, there were still some reports that the remnants stirred up more trouble right after the Night Howler Incident." - Bogo stated -
The water buffalo cleared his throat.
"Furthermore, we'll be going to encamp here for the moment. Tonight, we'll going to assign some police squads to conduct patrol and recon in the deep parts of this area." - Bogo added -
Upon saying that, some of the other ZPD officers prepared their equipment that they brought.
"With that, Let's prepare the camps here and I'll remind you all tonight." - Bogo remarked -
Bogo left them. The single file was then dispersed as they started to construct more new tents in the designated campsite.
"Guys, help me out with the tents." - Splero requested -
The others then helped the Splerinian monarch.
This is the end of Chapter 32. Since the operation will start tonight, as Bogo recalled, Splero and the others have enough time to prepare for the moment. Stay tuned for the next chapter, everyone!
