Chapter 29
Everyone was waiting at the train station. the train was due to arrive in 5 minutes.
Me and Wolford were standing a bit away from Nick and Judy to make people think that we were not together.
"Here comes the train. They are going up to the observation level. We will sit next to the stairs. Okay?" I say
"Yep." Wolford replies.
I are wearing my signature outfit and Wolford is wearing similar attire exempt he dosen't have a tie or hat.
"Why do you wear hiking boots with a suit?" He asks
"Because if I have to run or climb, these are better then dress shoes... Also steel toe so I can use them for self defence." I say as the train stops and the doors open
Nick and Judy go up to the observation level and Me and Wolford sit down at a table next to the stairs.
"So have anything to do?" Wolford asks
"I plan ahead." I say pulling out a deck of cards. "Know how to play Ukrainian Jacks?"
Wolford and play cards for the next 55 minutes before the speakers say that the train will arrive shortly
I walk up the stairs to tell Nick and Judy
"We are arriving in 5..." I begin before seeing that Nick is asleep with Judy leaning on his shoulder.
I signal Wolford to come up
"Well would you look at that." He says
"I sadly have to wake them up." I say as I take a picture.
I walk over and gently tap Nick on the shoulder.
"Five more minutes mom..." He mumbles
"We are about to arrive, also I have blueberries." I state
"What blueberies, why didn't you say so."
"How did you find out that Nick likes blueberries?" Judy asks
"He eats them for lunch every day." I say
"Come on we are about to arrive." Wolford says
We walk down to the exit as the train enters the station.
We are the only ones to exit the train to meet a mob of about 100 bunnies from my guesstimate.
"Mom, Dad!" Judy says embracing two older bunnies.
"Uh Judy... are all of them your siblings?" I ask
"Yep. And this isn't even a third of them" Nick says
"Hey Cameron look at this." Wolford says pointing at a population board.
"nine million six hundred..." I mumble off
"Don't worry it is only a joke." Judy says
"No its not." Says an older buck "Stu Hopps, I already know you Detective." He says extending his hand for a shake.
"Sadly I think everyone on this continent knows who I am." I reply shaking his hand.
"Ain't that the truth. This is my wife Bonnie, and 118 of our 256 children."
"You have how many children?" I ask
"He said 256 children Canuck." Nick says
"Nick, remember what I said would happen if you ever called me that again?"
"That you would disembowel me in a way that it would take days to bleed out." He says
"Ten, nine, eight..."I begin as I pull a hunting knife out of my backpack
With that Nick takes off running.
I put the knife back in by bag before saying "That should scare him enough."
"Did you have to do that?" Judy asks
"Nothing gets a point across better then fear. Now how about your family?"
10 minutes later we are going down the road in a convoy of Hopps family farm trucks.
I am sitting in the back of a pickup truck with Wolford heading towards the Hopps family farm.
"So how do you like the Burrows?" Bonnie asks me and Wolford.
"I grew up in a rural setting, but everything is a bit small." I reply
"Don't worry, we took larger mammals into account when building our home. You will be fine." Stu says.
We then pull into a driveway and stop in front of the biggest farmhouse yet.
"From my first estimate I am guessing 5000 square meters per floor." I Say
Stu gives me a weird look before I correct myself.
"12000 square feet. sorry, forgot Americans use imperial units."
We go inside to find the younger kits gathered in the biggest room.
"The house is 11500 feet square per floor. 3 above ground, 7 below." Stu fills me in.
"Makes sense you would have a big house begs use of all the chi..." I say before me and Wolford get knocked over by a wave of bunnies.
"Why is your fur grey? Are you a large fox? Why is your tail so soft?" Comes a wave of questions from the 30 or so kits that knocked me and Wolford over.
"Children is that how we treat guests. Sorry about this, they Andre always like this with mammals other then bunnies or foxes other then Nick and Gideon Grey." Bonnie says
"It's okay, I love kids. You know, after they can do most things by themselves." Wolford says
"That I can agree with." I say
It takes 29 and a half minutes for Judy, Bonnie and two older siblings get all of the kits off of me and Wolford
"So we all have a week of time to enjoy the countryside." I say sitting down at the kitchen table.
"Yes we do." Wolford says cracking his back.
"Now that it is just adults here let's talk about how we got to this point." Stu says guesting that it is only Nock, Judy, Wolford, me, him, Bonnie, and a few other of Judy's Oldest sibling in the room.
"Who wants to explain?" Nick says
"Is may as well. They are my parents." Judy says "You know about the whole Times false warrant thing because it was on live TV."
"Yep. Good comeback by the way Detective." Bonnie says
I nod as a Judy continues
"So after we all get back in our cars, Bogo comes across the radio congratulating us. I then ask to take my vacation time, to which he accepts and suggests Nick do so as well. He ten tells Cameron and Wolford to guard us because of some people who may oppose us being together."
"So what weapons do you have?" Stu asks
"All of us have our side arms." I say
"Okay good, because people around here don't like people walking around with big guns."
"I agree. Now can I please be pointed to where I will be staying?" I ask.
