An adventure Chapter 5
The Cat removed his ski mask and inhaled the fresh Savanna air, he placed his gear into his carbon fiber backpack and zipped it closed. Swearing at himself for hiring those trigger happy morons. Shooting at a police officer?! Now I'm really deep in it. Well at least I got the files. He fired his grapnel gun at a nearby spire and swung clockwise before landing on the closest rooftop.
He answered his ringing cellphone;
"Erick, Erick are you there?!''
"Damn it don't call me that! They could be listening." "Oh thank goodness, listen I'm at the base come meet me in five okay!''
And with that Erick scoped out the surrounding areas and took off in a run. Doing a front flip as he jumped off the roof and contorted his spine so he could land on his feet. He waited behind a dumpster then made his way further down the alley until he reached the mammal-hole. He pressed a button on his touch phone that activated a hidden mechanism. The black hole cover turned clockwise before opening like a trash can lid. He climbed down the ladder before arriving at the bottom, he navigated through a maze of severely damaged sewer tunnels. And finally came to a brick wall, he looked at the hidden camera and the wall split open allowing him in.
Two heavily armed bears greeted him as he ascended the three stone steps "Glad to see you back in one piece .'' Erick retorted in a friendly manner; "Glad to be back Rick.'' No matter how many times he returned the sheer vastness of his home made his heart flutter with excitement. They had managed to grow natural resources and used kinetic energy to power the community. A new mayor was elected every five years, and law breakers were given a fair trial. They grew special plants that helped keep the smell of feces out of the surrounding areas, all of their medicine was grown in the botany facility and the schoolhouse was located on the second floor. A mandatory self-defense class was established in B-hall.
And just above the second floor was a glass oval in which the Mayor could observe everyone in the main quad. He placed his bag on the hook then threw the burgundy folder onto the poorly made queen bed. A much elder cat approached his little brother scolding him for not taking it to the Mayor first thing. Erick pulled his favorite boots off and reclined the Lazy-cub. "You're in the hacking department I just do all the dangerous jobs Isaac.'' Isaac flipped from front to cover protesting that computer science was plenty dangerous. Erick simply ignored him and rejoiced as he finally got permission to sleep until his next guard shift.
"HOW COULD HE DISSAPEAR SO QUICKLY?! HE JUST DROPPED A SMOKE BOMB AND TWO SECONDS LATER HE'S GONE! I DON'T KNOW ANY MAMMAL WHO CAN MOVE THAT FAST!'' After the buffalo was done pacing officer Rhinowitz calmly spoke, "Sir if I may, forensics discovered that he had stolen files which contained all the private info on city officials. We believe him and his gang seek to attack them, now it would be wise if we put them into protection.'' Bogo rubbed his temples, then dismissed the officer.
"I'm sure it'll be fine Carrots, I mean you can take down a rhino with your feet. And shoot a gnat from a mile away.'' Judy smiled at her partner. "I just- I think that we're dealing with something way beyond our comprehension.'' Nick responded with a back rub, "Well, I guess we'll have to start recruiting ninjas.'' Judy let out a sigh of relief glad that the Mayor was on vacation in the Sub-mammal republic. Still thinking about how much paper work they were going to have to fill out. Poised Nick spotted a refreshing sight, the hostages had been safely returned home thanking the valiant efforts of the law enforcers.
Judy perked up and her pink nose twitched a few times when she saw a smiling Benjamin Clawhauser bringing in two boxes of donuts.
"Phew! What a week am I right? Just when we thought our day was over a new criminal takes a risk going up against the fearless ZPD!'' Clawhauser eventually went off on a tangent describing in specific detail how his parents failed to embrace his thespian career. And instead pushed him to do something productive instead, something that didn't require him wearing colorful outfits.
It was going to be a long afternoon.
Agatha's paws ached from banging on the metal door of her cell, her throat burned from screaming for an hour. She had given up hope and was lying in a corner sobbing. Finally someone arrived at the door, "Ahh, '' the tiger spoke in a Foxian accent and wore a smug expression which made the cow sick. "You son of a bitch, I've just been robbed, harassed, and nearly killed. Now you lock me up like a Goddamn murderer!'' The tiger shouted at her to relax then stepped away from the threshold leading her towards a hallway.
She stumbled her way down the white halls in hope of at least an explanation for everything. For once she got her wish, South Anima Center for Wayward Mammals. Agatha choked on a lump in her throat then fell to her knees and sared at the plaque hung over the front desk. The lion helped her up and put her Arm over his shoulder. "Come now let me show you to the medical facilities . You obviously need medical assistance.''
After a while she deliberately began to accept her new life at the facility. It was certainly better than anything she had experienced in her 16 years. After she had finished admiring her freshly washed hide, she asked the staff members how long would she stay here. The armadillo told her that if she cooperated enough she could be offered a clean job that would pay her good and allow her oversea traveling. As much as she liked to hide her emotions, she couldn't help but gleam at the very words she never expected to hear in hear in a trillion years.
But then reality stepped in, "My mother what'll happen to her? Will she think I'm dead?!'' The armadillo placed a reassuring claw upon her and explained that there was no life for her back home. That she needed to find her niche here, Agatha slowly looked up, swallowed her pride and settled to officially abandon the violent standard of living she once led.
The staff member locked her door on his way out leaving Agatha to lay on her bed praying that this was the best path for her to take.
So "Foxia'' is the mammal equivalent of France. In case you guys were wondering, so as always please leave an honest and fair review and I'll get back to you ASAP! ✌
