"Deep Dark Secrets"

Wolf and Chief Luggins are hanging up high in chains and over a giant meat grinder, and a mysterious figure came out of the shadows and it's the Dark Figure. "So, at last, I caught Mr. Wolf and Chief Misty Luggins." He said in his deep voice.

"Save it for the judge, WHO are YOU?!" Wolf snapped. "Why don't you take off the hood and show your true face?"

The Dark Figure removes his hood and it's an anthro panther and it was Marcus Johnson. "Surprise," Marcus said in his voice.

The Chief and Wolf are shocked their eyes widen. "Deputy, you're the Dark Figure?" Luggins asked.

Marcus then puts the speaker next to his mouth. "What, you thought it was some random person or one of the Bad Guys?" He then laughs drops his robe and the voice changer. "My plan worked out perfectly, and the Chief will pay," Shows off a glare. "With her LIFE!"

"Me, what did I do?" She asked.

"Wow, chief your not even that bright to figure out," Wolf said with annoyance. "Like framing me and friends one time with the Maraschino Ruby, and framing me yesterday."

"And covering up a murder 27 years ago," Marcus said as the Chief's eyes widen and Wolf looked confused.

"Chief, what's he talking about?" Wolf asked.

The chief remained silent.

"Ok, I'll tell the story." Marcus glared at the chief. "27 years ago when she was a rookie cop on the force in St. Louis she had a partner named Officer Pete Grayson." He said. "He was seeking drugs and the chief knew about it and didn't say anything."

Wolf looked over at Luggins with a shocked expression. "What?" Luggins looked away in shame.

"And the best is to come." Marcus then sits on a chair. "Two panthers caught Grayson red-handed and he killed them in cold blood and I was there in the car and watched my parents be killed in front of me."

Wolf growled at the chief. "Wait, you were Marcus Parker?" Luggins asked.

Marcus laughs. "Wow, even small-minded people aren't that dumb." He said in a mocked tone. "Also, the chief witnessed the murder a block ahead and she covered up the murder until someone with a video camera caught the whole thing and reported it, but sadly Luggins wasn't convicted since there wasn't any evidence on her and the witnessed took off before she came."

Marcus clenches his fist. "From that day forward I swore one day I'll get REVENGE!"

"And those cops you framed around the country were… corrupted and they weren't innocent at all," Wolf said.

"I don't know where people got the idea I framed them and yes, I did the Dark Figure thing to throw them off my tracks," Marcus explained. "I was a reporter, a baker, and I'm a deputy."

"Look, Marcus, you're right, you have every right to be angry at me, but killing me won't bring your parents back," Luggins said.

"SAVE IT!" He snapped. "I was gonna let Wolf go, but I can't have a witness." He said as he grabbed his robe and puts it back on. "I'll be doing a broadcast so everyone can see." He laughs and puts his hood back on.

At Diane's she and the other four Bad Guys arrives with Zack and just released from the hospital. Diane slowly walks over to the house and into the living room and places Zack on the couch after his fatal heart attack. "Thanks, guys," Zack said.

"Hey, don't about it Zack it's all forgiven," Diane said in a motherly voice.

Shark grabs the remote. "Just hope we can find Wolf and-" Shark was cut off with the Dark Figure on the television.

Everyone around LA is watching it live and at home too.

"Hello, people of LA as you can see I found out that your so-called good chief of police isn't what she said she is." He then moves out of the way and shows off Luggins and Wolf over a giant meat grinder and everyone is shocked. "The chief covered up a murder 27 years ago and left a panther cub orphaned, and was never heard from again."

Snake hisses. "I know there was something I didn't like about HER!"

"Dad," Zack whispers and slowly got up but Diane places him back down.

"Let's see if the Bad Guys can catch me if they can, but if they can't within one hour the chief and Mr. Wolf will slowly become meat packages everywhere." He then laughs and goes off-screen.

Diane gets up and goes to her microwave. "Diane, this is no time for a snack," Zack said.

Diane removes her glasses. "Zack, can you keep a secret?" She asked.

"What?" He asked with a confused look. "Yes, I can keep a secret why?"

She presses some buttons and a secret passage opens up she and the Bad Guys head inside and Zack follows.

At a secret base, Zack sees some gear and a skin-black stealth suit. His eyes widen and look at his stepmom. "Y-you're the Crimson Paw?" She nods. "Wow, I always wanted to meet her, and-" Covers his mouth.

The Bad Guys and Diane look at Zack with confused faces. "Zack?" Tarantula asked.

Zack sights. "Alright, I got secrets, I was watching Channel 6 Action News and I saw you guys on TV but whenever mom came into the room I quickly turned off the news and watched whatever." He explained. "I liked the Bad Guys, but I still had hatred feelings after my dad… well left me or mom kicked him out."

Diane finished putting her stealth suit on and smiles and walks over to Zack and places a paw on his shoulder. "That was a very honest thing to say, sweetie." She kisses his forehead. "I promise you, I won't replace your mom, and I'll try to be a great step-mom to you and help you whatever I could."

Zack smiles and nods. "Ok, let's go get my dad-"

"No, not you," Tarantula said.

"What? But my dad is-"

"Sweetie, your last heart attack proved fatal and if you get one more it can kill you. We can't risk you getting another one." Diane said. "Please, stay here and we'll get your dad back, I promise." She gets into a car with the others. "Don't worry we'll be back I promise."

Diane and the others soon go off to save Wolf and Luggins from the Dark Figure.

Zack is back in the living room. "I can't sit here to do nothing," Zack said. "I gotta go after them." Places a paw on his heart area. "I'll take the risk."

Zack heads out of the house and goes off to find the others on foot while running a little slow.

The new chapter is now here, and I'm almost done with the story. The next chapter will be a rescue mission. I do wanna focus on other stories, but I'll still get to this story, and hopefully finish it soon. Until then please read and review, please.
