I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and read the message that is on screen.
"Go to bathroom I will change your clothes to something more presentable. -Reaper"
"Excuse me I don't feel like going in front of the media dressed like this." I say to Bogo
"Ok. I will wait 10 min for you." He replies before going outside with Hopps, Wilde, and Clawhouser.
I run towards a sign that says MEN'S BATHROOM and go inside locking myself in a stall, I pull out my phone texting the Reaper
"In bathroom now what?"
After about 10 seconds he replies with
"Look down. Good Luck."
I look down to see that my clothes have changed into a black suit with a dark red shirt and black tie, my pants had changed into black dress pants. My brown hiking boots had changed into black hiking boots.
"Thanks Grim" I think before exiting the stall.
When he exits he sees that he is wearing a black fedora that has a red band around the base of it. He runs out of the bathroom and exits outside and walks next to Hopps, Clawhouser, and Bogo
"Where did Wilde go?" I inquire
"Other side of stage." Clawhouser informs me.
He leans back and sees Wilde on the other side of the stage next to a panther surrounded with guards in solid black suits and sunglasses."I'm presuming that the panther over there is the mayor." I state.
"No actually that is the Commissioner of police." Hopps informs me.
The panther begins to walk up on stage as every news camera begins to turn on."Earlier today three armed mammals entered Precinct 1 and took Chief Bogo and a detective that had just arrived to assist in a multinational case hostage. Before the situation began to escalate, that same detective shot the mammal that was holding him at gunpoint, and incapacitated the others by shooting them in their bullet proof vests." He began.
"To go into further detail please welcome Chief Bogo."
Before Bogo climbed onstage he turned to me asking "You the public speaking type?"
I shake my head No.
"I'm going to have to call you up so I will do all the talking ok?"
I nod Yes.
"You will have to answer any questions they ask you directly." He informs me before beginning up the stairs to the stage.
The crowd begins to applaud Chief Bogo as he approaches the microphone before he begins.
"Thank-you for the applause, but I shouldn't be receiving it. May I please welcome Lieutenant Robertson of the Montréal Police Department."
As I climb the 3 steps up to the stage the crowd begins to appaud even more than when Bogo came up onstage.
"As commissioner Gordon said, three armed mammals took me, the lieutenant, and three other officers hostage by grabbing me and him, and pointing their weapons at the others." He continued
"In the process the leader of the three, a American Hog, was shot in the right kneecap, and the other two, a Russian Elk and a Moose sustained brusing and broken ribs from bullet impacts to their vest. Now any questions for me or Lieutenant Robertson?"
Almost all of the mammals in the crowd raise their hands and Bogo picks an Antelope in the front."Thank-You Chief Bogo. ZNN, Lieutenant Robertson Why did you act with such force so quickly?"
I think a moment before replying
"In Montréal officers are taught that the sooner a situation is ended, the less damage can be done."
Chief Bogo picks a hand in the back belonging to a Harp Seal."Tundra Town Chronicles, Lieutenant Robertson, According to police data you were not supposed to be in the station until tomorrow morning, why were you here today?"
"I was in the station today because I was in an incedent and had to give my statement."
Chief Bogo picks a hand in the middle of the group belonging to a mouse."Rodillia Times, What was the incedent you were involved in?"
I look over my shoulder to Wilde and he shrugs mouthing "They will know soon anyways." I then glance at Hopps and she is Nodding Yes.
"I was struck by a police vehicle while crossing the street and before anybody asks any more questions, I am at fault as I did not see the cruser coming and did not check
twice to be sure."
After that Chief Bogo thanks everybody for their time and exits the stage with Robertson behind him."Way to not paint any officers in a bad light Canuck!" Wilde exclaims.
"Call me Canuck again and I will shoot you where it will take the longest and most painful time to bleed out."
Clawhouser responds to this with "You are the first person to immediately decline Wilde's nicknames."
"What's Yours?"
"Spots" Says Clawhouser
"Carrots" Says Hopps
"Buffalo Brain" Says Bogo
"And you let him?" I inquire
"No we just stopped trying to shut him up."
And at that they all began to laugh exempt for Bogo who only gave a smirk.
