Leilani and Duke were crouched down in the back of the police car. Their eyes barely poked out from the bottom of the window as officers led animals to different police cars, some animals in cuffs.

"Lei, look!" Duke pointed. "It's PJ!"

Leilani scanned the now-crowded meadow before she easily spotted the somber, brightly-dressed geep, her hooves behind her in cuffs. Leilani felt a pang of guilt. It was wrong for PJ to conduct all these dangerous experiments, especially without the consent of her "test subjects," but she seemed to really want to make the world safer for animals like her.

"I kinda feel bad too."

Leilani yelped as she almost fell onto the floor. "You could tell?" She caught herself by grabbing the seat belt.

"Nah, with your droopy ears and sad face, I assumed ya were excited." Duke chuckled.

Leilani smiled. "Okay, fair enough. I mean, PJ's probably been through so much, being a hybrid, and she wanted things to be better for other hybrids."

Duke put a paw on Leilani's back. "Hey, she's smart! I mean, at least I guess she is, with all the science and stuff. She'll probably come up with somethin' safer."

"I guess so." Leilani saw PJ lean into a police van. "Do you think she'll go to prison? Jail? Probation? Community service? A fine?"

"Lei, I ain't no expert because I've had a bunch of trouble with the law." Duke frowned.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to—"

Duke doubled over with laughter, catching himself on the back of the passenger seat. "I'm just messin' with ya! But really, I ain't got any idea what's gonna happen to her. My crimes were always simple, this is really weird. I do know they tend to go easier on first time offenders, and I'm guessin' she was, since the chief didn't act like he found any mugshots when he looked her up."

Leilani sighed. "At least we can just focus on just our normal jobs now. I hope Travis can find another line of work soon. I wonder how he'll react once he finds out about the police raid."

Duke narrowed his eyes as a wide smile spread across his face.

"Seriously, Duke, I wanna thank you so much for gettin' me the interview with the mailroom boss."

Duke and Travis both walked down the hallway as Duke pushed a cart full of mail. Travis was in his regular clothes, as he hadn't get received his uniform.

"No problem. So, the mail is alphabetized by names, and sorted by floors. The stack of mail closest to me is for this floor." Duke threw an envelope through a cubicle.

"Thanks!" Someone shouted.

"I haven't been at this job for too long, but everyone's busy with other stuff, so I was just told to tell ya as much I can and show ya around."

"So, this is where you and Leilani have been workin' this whole time?" Travis asked, his eyes traveling everywhere.

"Yeah! What're the odds that a married couple would get jobs in the same place…the same week they meet?" Duke threw another envelope.

"I can't believe that those plants were what caused you two to get married. I mean, I know things are workin' out good, but it coulda turned out really bad. I also shoulda tried to find out why PJ was really makin' the plants. Sorry, there."

"Eh, don't worry 'bout it." Duke shrugged. "After all, me and Lei shut the whole thing down only two days ago, didn't we?"

"Yeah, true." Travis grabbed an envelope and threw it in a cubicle.

"Hold on, there!" Duke cried. He ran into the empty cubicle and read the envelope. He ran back outside the cubicle and read the name tag. "Huh, it's the right one. Good job!"

"Thank you." Travis took a short bow. "So, you know what PJ's deal is?"

"Leilani looked her up yesterday, and she posted bail. The bail wasn't set too high, so I assume she ain't got herself into too much legal trouble."

"Oh, good, there's a bathroom up there. Be right back." Travis dashed ahead and into the men's room.

"Oh, uh, okay!" Duke continued to push the cart. "I ain't got much more to tell ya anywa—"

BOOM!

Red dust exploded from the cart as Duke flew backward. His back and head slammed against the rough carpet floor.

"Ugh…what?" Duke grabbed his head and slowly sat up. He saw a bunch of animals standing in front of the knocked-over cart.

A few animals ran up to him and asked if he was okay.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine. What happened?" Duke stood up with help of one of the animals.

A moose looked inside the toppled cart. "Looks like someone put a powder bomb in your cart. It's the latest toy to get recalled after injuries happening. Sorry."

As the animals dispersed, Duke dropped to his knees and picked up the little red plastic machine. He thought he felt paper under it. He turned the rectangular device over and saw a small piece of paper. It read in black capital letters, "YOU'LL BE SORRY!"
