Chapter 2

Ricky was woken up by a prison guard for a routine cell check. Ricky was a bit to slow for the guard and he grabbed Ricky and pulled him out forcefully assuming that he was resisting. After the morning check Ricky was sent out into the courtyard where he stood silently for a minute intimidated by the much larger males around him. He scanned the courtyard and saw two oddly familiar individuals. It was the two who were to do away with Ricky the other day they had gotten caught because of him and were definitely unhappy with him. He heard a loud but familiar voice from behind him and he jumped.

"Everyone stand in line while we take roll call," Michael said. "Well call your number and you show that your present normal fair that you should all know from elementary school," He stood there with his arms crossed swooshing his large fluffy tail behind him.

It took almost Twenty minutes to get to the Rs and Ricky replied immediately once his number was called. Shortly after roll call was leisure time where the inmates were able to do things like play pool, work if they had a job, or call out if they had money. After about 20 minutes of wandering around Ricky ended up playing pool for a little while he actually found that he enjoyed it. After almost an hour the inmates were being shuffled out towards the canteen for breakfast. Ricky was always pretty clean and enjoyed helping things stay clean and he thought it was the least he could do to help the janitors who he imagined must have a pretty hard job in prison. While Ricky was cleaning up and the janitors where off cleaning something else the two members of Andel's gang Axel and his fox companion Akai struck Ricky from behind with a pool cue. The two of them took him a bit further back into the pool area. Once Ricky regained consciousness they started striking him with pool cues and billiard balls.

"This is your fault Ricky YOU did this to us!" Akai snarls at Ricky "If it wasn't for you we wouldn't be here!" Between every sentence he hit Ricky in the back with a pool cue over and over til it snapped.

Axel hits Ricky in the face before Ricky can even speak or defend himself. He preceded to kick Ricky in the knee as Axel threw him into the wall. He then took a billiard ball from the table and bludgeoned Ricky with it while Akai keeps hitting him with the now broken pool cue. Ricky layed on the ground badly bleeding, unconscious, and undoubtedly badly injured.

Micheal went looking around the yard for the missing inmates and came into the room stopping them before they could finish Ricky off. The two tried to escape but they are quickly restrained and Ricky is taken to the onsite hospital. Ricky had a fractured skull a few broken ribs a broken spine and a broken leg. The damage to his spine almost permanently paralyzed him but luckily for him the hospital was on the cutting edge of technology and they were able to stabilize him and fix his spine. The shock from everything had put Ricky into a six month coma.

Shortly after Ricky slipped into his coma Michael walked into the chiefs office "S-Sven ... he didn't even fight back aren't we supposed to ensure their safety here and..."

the chief sighs deeply and looked at Michael. "What happened to him was unacceptable I heard from the clean up team that he was trying to help them out when he was attacked I am starting to believe you that he really doesn't belong here," "Hey Michael if we get him on some form of psychiatric program I might be able to bend some rules about the location of his incarceration... you have a psychiatry degree dont you?"

"Yes I do," Michael shrugged "Why me though?"

"Because you trust Ricky and he seems to trust you," he said "il have to partner you with agent Lyr to keep him safe,"

"Him... you know how I feel about him..." Michael looked upset

"Im sorry Michael but you cant argue he gets results,"

"I know..."

Michael walked out of the office in a bit of a grumpy mood. he headed towards Lyr's office. When he got in he sees the doberman relaxing back with his smug look and the heart shaped mark on his left cheek. He siat up and exaggerated a yawn. "My my and here I thought we would never work together again Michael," "Ever since that time I..."

"Lyr shut the fuck up please if were gonna work together were going to need to put that behind us for now," Michael grumbled.

Lyr chuckled and patted Michael on the back which caused him to pull away reflexively while staring at lyr with contempt. "Sarah says hi Michael," He walks off cackling as Michael punched the wall a few times before he also walked out of the office.

Michael walks down the hall and he takes a trip to Ricky's cot where he lays unconscious. He sits next to Ricky and watches over him for a while seeing him In a cast like that had upset him for reasons he couldn't even understand he sat there for about an hour and then headed off to do his job.

About two very uneventful weeks of Michael visiting Ricky and filling out paperwork he wnet to the solitary confinement unit and grabbed Axel and Akai bringing them to a small gray room to talk.

"Why did you two attack Ricky what benefit to you would his death be you both had 20 year sentences and if you killed him you'd have been given life?" Michael asked glaring at them

"Well aren't you very informal Mr officer," Akai laughed a bit "And why would we tell you anyways?'

"you wont get any information out of us," Axel closed his eyes and leaned back "We have the right to say nothin and you cant make us,"

Michael threw down a stack of files down. These were recent finding in an investigation of the donut shop and hidden security camera images of their shady deals. "I take it there's more you may not want seen,"

The two sat for a moment and Michael heard some jingling from behind them. "What are you doing..." Michael walked behind them and saw that Akai had gotten out of his cuffs and before he could react Akai jumped at him and started clawing at his face viciously getting a few good scrapes in and its hurting Michael much more then It should. The fox had kept a cover over his claws and seems to paint his nails in a slow acting deadly poison.

"We have nothing to lose the least we can do now is escape or die with dignity!" Akai had a sinister madness in his eyes that even terrified Axel "Were as good as dead anyways if we stay here,"

Michael had no choice but to fire upon the fox he survived the first three shots to the chest the Adrenalin keeping the fox from feeling it fully and before the fox could do any more damage Michael fired a third time the bullet exited out of his head in the back leaving a bit of a mess behind him as he slumped over. Michael was a bit shaken from this as hed never killed anyone before and he went into the corner and sat there for a bit.

"Akai... you crazy bastard..." the rabbit slumped back and sighed "Officer Michael... you will pay for this one day I promise you that much..."

Michael just stayed quiet til another officer came in to escort Axel back to his cell and get Michael to the infirmary he had requested to take the bed next to Ricky which though confused the doctors allowed him to take. Michael had a deadly poison infecting about six different cuts along his face that the doctors had to extract out of and they gave him a cure for the poison which was a chemical very similar to the drug jade. Michael took a week to recover thanks to the fact hes very susceptible to poison along with being allergic to many things including the mint extract used in part of the antidote. When Michael got better he had declined anyone who offered to help him through how he was feeling about killing someone in self defense. After he left Lyr came in and sat next to Ricky.

"Why... aren't you beautiful little rat," he chuckles to himself." much more beautiful then that bastard cat will ever deserve,"

After the mess was cleared and Akais body was buried things returned to normal and the rest of the time Ricky was out went by without anything interesting happening. Michael had started setting up his new office for helping inmates with some of their problems Ricky bring his first and only current patient. He went to get some coffee and grumbled that they only had dairy creamer meaning he had to go without it. He sat at his desk and drank some looking incredibly tired.

Once Ricky woke up and got moving around again he was informed that one of his attackers was now dead and that he'd been signed up for counseling. Ricky was a bit happy for this as he knew he needs help but was worried that maybe they'd judge him for what hes done and who he is. He was very surprised to walk in and see Michael sitting at his desk.

Michael looked at Ricky with a bit of excitement on his face. "oh Ricky your ok," "How do you feel?"

"All-right I guess considering." Ricky shrugged. "Im still a bit out of it and I feel weak,"

"That's... about what I expected as you were out for a long while," He looked at his notes and wrote something down. "Dont worry we'll help rehabilitate you and maybe if you do good we can get you out of here,"

Ricky smiled "T-Thanks officer Tallow."

"Ricky just call me Michael I have never been fond of my last name," he tapped his pen on the paper. "Ricky I wanna know more about your story, Why did you do it?"

"I um... well my family died about a year ago the thieves who killed them made off with all our wealth, me and my sister could no longer afford our mansion and so we lost that too... no one has been to that house since then and I had been living on the streets"

"My condolences Ricky," Michael tapped the papers to straighten them "I can kinda see how you turned to drugs to cope... not that im validating it,"

"W-When I ran out of money and lost the house my sister abandoned me... it kinda broke me and those two took me in, they... took the pain away," he said "they'd have me do things while I wasn't in a good mind. They had me steal hurt and intimidate people. finally they... had me kill the son of a powerful crime boss... I um... I already told you this earlier its...i dont wanna think about that right now..."

Ricky collapsed into a sobbing mess and Michael went to comfort him. Ricky nuzzled into him gently when he got close much to Michael's surprise. Michael found he enjoyed it a bit but he still pulled Ricky away.

"Ricky do you feel your ok to start exercising to get your body back into shape?" he asked

"Yeah I do,"

Ricky got up changed into his new jumpsuit as the old one was ruined by those two and he made for the track under Lyr's supervision. When he got there Ricky started running around the track not noticing how Lyr was just staring at him with a hungry gaze. Ricky managed to get about a lap into the track which was around a half mile before he started getting tired he sat a bit disappointed next to Lyr as he caught his breath knowing that he really had to have to work to get better again.

Ricky managed to get another lap in before he was done for the day and Lyr escorted him back to his cell. Ricky was confused as he walked inside and saw the cell was a lot more comfortable

"W-what?" "im a prisoner why is my cell so nice..."

Lyr smiled a deceivingly sweet smile "Because of your absolutely exemplary behavior,"

"T-Thanks Lyr," "B-But I really dont deserve this"

Lyr shushed him quickly "you really do now rest,"

Ricky closed his eyes and fell asleep gently. He dreamed of a quiet life where things didn't go so wrong. Lyr sat and watched for a while noting everything about Ricky from his appearance to his light pink hair. After about an hour Lyr left thinking of nothing but the rat.

Michael layed back wondering what he should do. When Ricky had nuzzled into him earlier he absolutely loved it and he couldn't understand why. He fell asleep at his desk after overworking himself. Knowing he was asleep Lyr snuck into his office and chuckled after hearing him musing about it and sat on Michael's desk.

"Ricky is mine Michael you wont have him, you dont deserve him" Lyr said chuckling before leaving the room throwing out an empty container of sedatives knowing that slow doses over several days will be enough to knock him out.
