TftTB: The Little Things
Alex held open the door of the bar for the smaller gray wolf and the hyena walking out together before he entered. He scanned the bar carefully. No sign of Darryn. Typical. The muscular black wolf seated himself down at the bar. Favian, the orange-red...
The Stray Cat, Ch. 12
By the time I got back to Mr. Hattori's apartment it was almost morning. I entered through the garage and tried to make my way to my room as quietly as possible, but the old fox had stayed up all night waiting for me. He reacted to my appearance just...
The Stray Cat, Ch. 11
I wandered aimlessly through the gray urban mess that was New St. Louis. My legs screamed at me to just curl up on the sidewalk and sleep but my aching heart told me I would get no rest tonight. The last 6 hours had been an emotional roller coaster. It...
Room Service II: Put Away Wet
"Dave, is it?" "Yes, sir," the fox said. Dave shook the bear's paw. It engulfed his for several seconds before the suited ursine loosened his firm grip. "Good, nice to meet you." The black bear turned to Allison. "Thank you, ma'am. I'd like to speak...
Fealty: State Secrets
An hour later, Pacha stumbled through the flap of the emperor's tent and collapsed to the ground. The caiman and cougar honor guards rushed in after him. "Pacha!" the emperor cried. He raced to the tayra's side and helped him to the bed. The inside...
Fealty: Statecraft
"How much longer until we reach the capital?" Pachacutec asked excitedly. The jaguar sighed. This was only the thousandth time the tayra had asked such a question. "Still several weeks," he said, "depending on how the rest of the recruiting campaign...
Room Service II: The Meeting
"_BEAR-ING THE BRUNT; SENATOR CAUGHT IN SEX SCANDAL_" "_SEN. CONNOR CHEATING ON WIFE WITH HORNED SHE-DEVIL!_" "_STATE ASKS ROB CONNOR TO STEP DOWN_" Dave buried his head in his paws. _How? How could this happen?_ He did everything the senator...
Room Service II: Bars
"Ugh... Dave? You awake?" "Yeah." The fox looked over at Warren, who was picking himself up from the concrete floor. The blue dragon was just as naked as he was. His wrists were thick enough that the cops had used the plastic zip tie style...
Fealty: Trade (1/2)
"You seem quiet this morning, Pachacutec. What is on your mind?" The tayra shrugged and looked around the countryside. They were on top of a mound and could see the endless jungle stretch out as far as the eye could see, rising and falling over the...
A Thorough Exam
"What do we have?" "Drunk driver, hit a wall." The squirrel handed Doc the tablet. "Ambulance brought him in ten minutes ago. No lacerations, no visible injuries." The wolverine grimaced. "Any other parties involved?" "None." "Well, that's...
Fealty: The Temple
"We should be getting close to the temple," the tayra said. His lithe, otter-like body was able to slip through the undergrowth gracefully, hardly disturbing any plant life. The emperor's own jaguar body was quite a bit bulkier, however, and he had to...
The Artful Dodger: Starry Night
The last time Jaime was released from jail, he basked in the openness of the public corridors around him. Last time, the weasel walked confidently to the impound hangar, waited in line, got the keycard to _Venom_ again, and blasted out of the star...
