Furry search engine

Only a few minutes into the drive, and Jay was out cold, head rolled to the side with his maw slightly ajar, a slight trail of drool dripping to his shoulder.

Anderrick on the other hand was focused, eyes locked on the road as street lights gently roll over the vehicle with each passing. There was no radio, just a peaceful night drive towards the outskirts of the city.

Jay will wake to a bright beam of light being pointed over his face and Anderrick's paw giving his side a quick tap. A man dressed in an unmarked uniform was looking into the car inspecting the maned wolf. Anderrick has a brief exchange of words with another at his side before a large gate ahead of them would slowly open, allowing them to proceed up a long driveway.

The car rolls up towards a mansion. A few windows were illuminated by a warm yellow glow, and a couple on another floor that must belong to the one room were glowing all sorts of colours, with faint silhouettes of people moving around. It's not the most energetic party Jay has witnessed, but it was a party nevertheless.

“So… this is a good meeting right? Do I have to avoid eye contact, or anything…" Jay asked, tilting his head toward the big wolf.

“You'll be fine. Just don't say anything stupid or insulting." Stated Anderrick, as they arrived by the front entrance. “Oh, and leave any weapons you have in the car."

With that prompt Jay quickly patted himself over prior to leaving the vehicle, just in case.

A valet takes their car away, and a pair of guards search them at the front door to the large building. Jay was used to this with some of the people he'd met in the past, it occurred casually and the two were let inside and guided to a living area, Jay followed behind Anderrick like a shadow.

“I will introduce you, but you'll probably be dismissed from the room before we start talking about other things. I'll meet with you after. There will likely be other people here so try socializing." Anderrick gave Jay a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

“Gotcha. Socialize; that thing I'm excellent at." Jay was clearly tense, trying to make light of it while the soft bass from that party was heard rumbling in the walls of this quiet room.

The pair aren't left waiting much longer, as a guard came in ushering them to follow. They are lead down a few halls, the music gets louder as they got deeper into the mansion.

A pair of doors are opened for Jay and Anderrick, and the two men are lead in.

The party room; it was busy, and there were various lights colouring the walls and ceiling. A few strippers entertaining guests in the far corners of the room, from what Jay could see they were felines of sorts. The young male couldn't help looking in their direction curiously.

An open bar seemed the point of attention for a lot of guests, Jay noticed a large reptilian man amongst them all with a booming voice, laughing and teasing his friends while handing out drinks.

However loud that man's voice, or the music; it didn't seem enough to block the piercing laughter of a pair of hyenas running around the room. They seemed to be two boys of Jay's age, probably drunk the way they were chatting everyone up.

“Anderrick, you're here!"

A voice broke through and grabbed Jay's attention. Anderrick had slapped paws together with a well dressed, tall hyena adorned with various golden jewellery.

“I am glad you made it, and with our money no less!"

This must be Mr. Vower, Jay thought.

Anderrick was quick to turn and gesture toward the shy male, and introduce Mr. Vower and Jay.

Jay stepped forward, shaking the man's hand with a light, nervous grip.

"Mr. Vower, this is Jay. He is my driver. He also saved my life."

Vower's hand crushed Jay's fingers a little as his maw twisted in a big, toothy smile. "Saved his life, did you? He never says such praise. It is good to meet you Jay. I can't say I've ever seen you before."

Jay bowed his head politely, "Thank you for your hospitality, sir. I work with Mr. Bucher downtown."

"Ah, Bucher. Well, now you work with Anderrick."

Mr. Vower stepped back and looked to Anderrick. "It is a shame the meeting took such a turn. Just goes to show you can't trust everyone. I am glad you're alive, and glad you found a partner."

The hyena turned and started to walk towards the back of the room, where another pair of guards stood by a closed door. Anderrick leaned down to Jay and whispered in his ear, "I'll come find you after this meeting."

Jay nodded, watching the wolf and hyena go beyond the guarded door before turning and finding himself immediately feeling out of place in this scene.

He started for the bar, figuring he'll just grab himself a drink and go find somewhere quiet to sit until Anderrick came back. While on his way he witnessed what he can only assume are drugs being passed around and washed down with alcohol unabashedly.

Before even getting a chance to take on the queue at the bar, Jay is stopped by a pair of hyenas. One was right in his face, "Why you standin' here all by yourself?" The male asked, before bringing forward what appears to be a green piece of candy pinched between his claws. "Pill?"

"Oh." Jay was a little stunned, his brow furrows and eyes cross as he looked the little green thing over. "Hi, uh- w-what is it?"

The second hyena idly stood by watching some strippers in the corner, as the other put an arm around Jay's shoulders. "Galaxy. You'll like it."

The playful male wasn't quite able to stand straight, leaning heavily on Jay who gazed with disinterest over this pill. However, it was not often he received any kind of touch that wasn't followed by hurt, as a result; Jay likes the attention he was getting and didn't want it to stop. Exhaling a light breath, shrugging and muttering, "Fuck it," Jay throws the pill back to swallow, then sticks out his tongue and makes a toothy grin to the hyena.

Both hyenas gave a quick cheering cackle, before guiding Jay away. The one stumbling along with an arm around Jay put his fist up in the air briefly, tail wagging energetically in a manner of celebration. "This is awesome!" He called out into the air, "What's yer name?"

"Jay."

"Come sit with us Jay, you don't want to be standing when that kicks in, hahahaha." Said the other male, leading Jay and the drunk one towards a corner.

"Do I have much of a choice?" Jay asked playfully, but either he was not heard or not acknowledged as he is brought to sit in a corner booth, squished up between the two hyenas.

“So what's your names anyway?"

“Hueeyyy!" Said the male that handed Jay the pill.

The other was sitting between Jay and that big reptilian man seen at the bar earlier. Scaly paws offered a glass of champagne to each of them with a warm, toothy smile.

Jay took a glass and sniffed, then gives a brief sip. He wrinkles his nose back and shakes his head. "Not for me, big guy." He said, sliding the glass back across the table to the reptile. "Suit yourself." He said, the scaled snout seeming to grow longer.

Jay blinked, staring at the scaly. Huey laughs, and Jay whipped his head around to see the friendlier male right in his face again. "Its begun, hahahaha!"

He was laughing nervously, and unable to focus as the hyena's eyes twisted and danced in various colours of light. Jay's body began growing soft, and tingly in some places.

"So how did you get in Jay, surely you didn't just walk off the street?" The quiet one asked, both hyenas leaning in curiously, while a stripper came over and started giving the lizard a lap dance.

"Kinda… feels that way, heh. I work with Anderrick." Jay said, a bit of pride in his tone.

"I know about Anderrick!" Huey said, “He's like the gun of the organization. Mr. Vower points him in a direction and boom!" He makes exaggerated hand movements, puppeting a plane falling, and exploding.

Jay's ears folded back a little and he politely laughs. His brow twisting with a gaze of amusement and disbelief toward Huey. Those hand movements were really throwing Jay off, his eyes unable to keep up as everything was blurring together.

“You got a drink of choice?" The lizard asked after finishing off his glass, and Jay's.

“So what's Anderrick like in person?" Huey asked, as Jay blinked and stared off into space for a moment. The stripper moving down a seat to the other hyena, getting right into his lap.

Jay turned toward the big reptile, staring at the feline dancer as he spoke. “Uh… b-beer?"

He was pulled back to face Huey as the hyena laughed. “Jay! What is he like?"

“He-he is quiet!" Jay responded, eyes dilated as he looked wide-eyed at Huey.

“Hahahahaha!"

Jay did have other observations he made during his time with the big wolf, although he wasn't sure they were appropriate to bring up at this time…

“Hey miss!" Huey reached over Jay and tapped the feline stripper on the shoulder. “Can you give our friend here a dance?"

Jay raised a hand and shook his head. “N-no it's quite fine, thank you." Jay said, bowing his head to the stripper then looking right into Huey's many eyes. “I'm fine Huey, heh."

“But it'll be the best!" Huey insisted. Jay started to feel out of place again, Huey looking him over in confusion.

There was a silent moment as Jay absorbed the music and the ever twisting images of the world around him.

“Oh! I get it. You're a fag!" Huey blurted out, before leaning back in the chair, slouching into a very similar posture that Jay found himself falling into.

“You're a fag, Huey." The other hyena piped up.

“Am not!" The male leaned over Jay again, waving a hand angrily.

“Uh huh."

Their argument proceeded, while Jay sat there grinding his teeth a little, but attention was off him at least. He wasn't sure he could handle being called that word here.

I'm not a fag, Jay thought to himself.

The world around him was getting warmer, lights getting brighter as he melted into the couch slowly. A furry paw appeared in front of his face, snapping fingers together.

“Hey, you with me fag? We're taking the stripper to the bedroom. Wanna come!?"

The room felt like a ship rocking in the sea. Jay's ears perking up as he bared teeth at Huey.

“I'm not a fag!" He barked out.

“Okay, jeez! Just a joke. You don't have to come, hahahaha!" Huey laughed as he stood with the others. One hand was extended toward Jay.

“Just stop calling me that, damn." Jay croaked, gripping that paw and standing with Huey's help.

“Alright, take it easy there champ." Huey was now helping Jay balance, but neither was in a state to be walking. “Lets go, one foot then the other! Hahaha."

Jay was on his way, he didn't know where, but he was going there. The floor was moving in all sorts of directions, like water rolling under his feet.

The two boys worked together to stumble and trip through the party, one arm around the other's shoulders. Jay smiled and laughed a little in this moment, enjoying the closeness and amusement that came from trying to walk together.

“I've never known a hyena before." Jay said impulsively as he glanced over Huey's twisting image.

“I'll tell you a secret then - we are awesome! Hey! You're getting the hang of walkin'. I'm not dragging you as much, hahaha!"

Suddenly Huey stopped and Jay almost walked off without him. “Hi, err… sir." Huey was looking up toward someone that stood in their way.

“What the fuck did he take?"

Jay recognized the rough voice, like someone gargled sandpaper. Anderrick must have finished up with that meeting…

“Uhh, Galaxy I think, sir."

“Great. You good Jay?"

Jay feels a large paw on his shoulder, although all his focus was trained on the ground, scared that if he were to look away he might fall over. He just slowly nodded his head.

“You know he's taking you out of the room, right?"

“Of course he does!" Huey spoke up.

“Shut it. I wasn't talking to you."

Jay smiled a little and nodded his head again. “Yeah, we're going somewhere. Hang out with a stripper or somethin'..."

Anderrick grimaced. “You're fucked in the head right now kid, but you're an adult so you can make your own decisions. Do you want to go with this guy? If not just say so, I'll take you with me."

Jay's ears twitched, but neither seemed to sync up to the other as he tried to pivot them toward Anderrick. Huey seemed to be inching forward, trying to get Jay to come along as he politely smiled up to Anderrick. It was a brief moment but Jay eventually raised his head, and smiled to Huey before making a finger-gun gesture to the hyena, followed by a mimicking gesture of a plane crashing. His arms slid off Huey's shoulders and he fell forward to Anderrick, grasping at his coat.

Huey pouted slightly, ears lowering before zig-zagging onwards and out of the room.

“Alright, come on kid…"
