Judy watched the door of the warehouse warily. Jumping at the sounds of gunfire. The last thing she wanted to do was have to tell Fin that Nick had perished in the line of duty. Then she heard the sounds of the many different wolves howling. They'd found Marcus. That was good. Chief Bogo would be happy about that. When she heard Nick's scream/howl join in with the wolves she breathed a sigh of relief. The Commander chuckled.

"What?" she asked.

"You really care for that fox, don't you Lieutenant?" The commander answered her question with one of his own.

"Were things...different, I'd have taken him as mate, myself. But seeing him with Fin...I couldn't get between that." She replied. "Now? He's like a brother to me in a way none of my true siblings were."

The older wolf nodded his head, sagely, "I understand that. Brothers in blue and all that. My wife often wonders why I do this job. She just doesn't understand the calling. The call to arms or serve. I was in the ZDF for five years prior to joining the ZPD. Good group of lads, them boys. The phrase 'brothers in arms' holds weight because there are just things you see in the service and on the force that you just don't see in civilian life.

"It brings mammals together tighter than just about anything other than true, romantic love can do. It's through our shared experiences and our shared traumas that we come together as a family without blood bonds." He finished.

Judy nodded herself. "I've been on the force a decent amount of time, now. And I have to say I don't think I've ever felt as close to a group of mammals as I do the mammals I work with day in and day out. So, I understand where you're coming from--"

Just then an Ambulance pulled up, and some EMTs stepped out. And the SWAT team cleared out of the front door of the building. Nick supporting a mammal that really did look like a hairless ape. Marcus' was in obvious need of medical attention and Judy could clearly see by the way he was walking that a rape kit would be necessary.

The EMTs--an ocelot male and a chinkara female--rushed up to the human to take him from Nick who looked exhausted. Judy rushed up to greet him. "Hey, Nick. Everything alright?"

"The shit that male has gone through...I knew Cameron was a cruel bastard of a coyote, but godsdammit, Judy! He let multiple Equines use that boy as a cock sleeve. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over this case, Carrots." He sighed. Looked over at the EMTs and told them, "Look for prolapse. Prior to this, his largest partner was a wolf. He was dating a---

"Is dating a leopard. What some sick psycho allowed other sick psychos to do to my Marcus changes nothing about the way I feel about him." An African Leopard power walked up to her and Nick and holding out his paw to shake. "Jeffrey Spottington. Marcus' boyfriend and partner. I well know who you are, Mrs. Hopps."

"It's Miss. Nice to meet you, Mr. Spottington." Judy replied grabbing and shaking the proffered paw. She thought for a moment and then asked, "Spottington? Like Spottington and Delgato? The injury law firm?"

"That's the one, Miss Hopps. Amazed you recognized it. My father's one of the senior partners of the firm." Jeffrey chuckled. "Thank you all so much for bringing my Marcus back to me."

He hugged the human. They appeared well matched for size. And Marcus just emotionally collapsed, crying profusely into his mate's fur. "Oh Jeffie! They were so terrible." He cried.

Jeffrey for his part just shushed the hairless ape while petting the crop of hair atop his head. "Everything's gonna be okay, Markie. You're gonna be okay. I'm here now." He cooed, continuing to pet the human and whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

Judy blushed and turned around, letting the two have their moment, seeing the Human Ambassador walking up to the pair.

"Marcus Aurelius Warren, I swear to god, don't you ever run away from me like that again!" He said, sounding more distraught than angry, "I've been worried sick these last couple days." He said.

Marcus looked up from where he'd been crying into his leopard's fur. "Dad, I...I...I'm so sorry! I just reacted. I didn't think. I'm...I'm..."

"Markie, have I ever given you any reason to think I wouldn't accept you." Marcus shook his head, "No matter who was in bed with you that day, I would have been embarrassed and surprised about walking in on my son in an intimate situation, but I wouldn't have cared who it was, so long as they cared about you--which Jeffrey certainly does. He's asked my permission to claim you, Markie. Then went on to explain what that was. I can't say that I'm excited to see you marred in that way, but I can't say that I exactly mind the meaning behind it. I gave him my permission."

Marcus leaned back and looked in askance at his to-be mate. Jeffrey nodded with a small smile. "Whaddaya think, Markie? Wanna tie yourself to this crazy cat?"

"I'm only barely eighteen, Jeffie."

"And I'm barely nineteen, Markie. But I know I love you. If this whole episode proved anything, it's how much I need you. Love you. Adore you. I missed you so much, Markie."

"Yes!" Marcus breathed and

The ambassador smiled, "C'mon, Jeff. I believe the EMTs have some tests to do." He wrapped an arm around the leopards shoulders and led him away from the Ambulance to let the EMTs work.

"Ok, son, this will only take a moment. If you will lay on your stomach, we can get this over with. I apologize in advance for any discomfort."

Marcus complied. The male ocelot took a long swab and swabbed at the young man's rosebud and even inserted it to swab around the inner walls, grabbing as much foreign genetic material as possible. They would catch all of Cameron's customers. At least those who'd 'sampled the merchandise', as it were. This was looking to be a heavy case. Many mammals were going to jail for a long time. And a few mammals had already lost their lives. But the man responsible. The kidnapper, trafficker, serial rapist, and attempted murderer lay in a pool of his own blood inside the warehouse. Hopefully his afterlife would give him the punishment that had been denied him in this life.
