'Hmm? 'Ty said as his focus is drawn away from all the thoughts in his mind on to Alex. 'Hey' Alex said with his natural energetic and friendly nature. 'Oh it's you? Hmm sorry about earlier. Didn't mean to crash onto ya.' Ty said, a little surprised that those specific words are coming from him. 'So, what do you want?' Ty said hast fully as he would always do, coming straight to the point. 'Well... Uhm you see, I, uhm.... Just wanted to get to know you a little better' Alex replied in a clumsy way. Chris frowned and lifted one eye, looking at the wolf next to him 'why?' 'Well its simple, I love meeting new people, and making friends, and I'm kind of new here so, I like to meet allot of new people'. Ty thought what a weird guy this was, a real regular whack job. The kind you'd ignore on your morning patrols. After a moment of awkward silence Alex decided to break it 'so you're a police man?' Ty frowned again 'you sure talk allot' he said with a little bit of irritation in his voice. Alex just smiled and looked at the waves and responded with a teasing 'your funny, and you don't talk much at all. So you enjoy being a policeman? I guess you probably see allot of interesting things, do you have like a gun and stuff??' *Why does this guy ask so many questions...? He sure talks allot, and I'm not used to talk about myself at all, how awkward, maybe I should leave* Ty thought, and was now debating on how to leave this conversation. But then it grabbed him, Alex's beautiful green eyes, kindness, compassion, innocence. All useless emotions he did not need, but he felt comfortable standing there. Alex on the other hand was very nervous and had no idea what to do next. 'So, it's going to get dark soon, it's like 6 pm already so, you know, gotta go' Ty said whilst turning away. Alex couldn't help himself but get frustrated, he had tried his best but nothing could get through this guy. 'Hey, that's rude, you didn't even answer a single question' Alex exclaimed. June and Nathan's attention was now also focused on them, since Alex was starting to yell. 'Oh crap, I think he is gonna blow' June told Nathan. 'Rude? So what?' Ty said softly as he kept on walking away. This infused Alex with rage and anger, all of the stuff from his past he didn't deal with, people rejecting him, it all came back, and without knowing what he was doing, 'how dare you' he grabbed Ty by the shoulder, swung him around and punched him as hard as he could on the nuzzle. So shocked at what he had done he just froze dead in his tracks. 'Hmph, guess I had that one coming, since i ran into you earlier, but I'll be going now' Ty replied calmly, but then Alex went insane, he started to punch Ty in the ribs, on the muzzle everywhere he could. Ty was so shocked that this little skinny wolf reacted in such a way that he could not do anything. And then all of a sudden tears came streaming down Alex's face as he swung his last punch and missed Ty and falling straight onto him. Before Ty knew what he was caching the small wolf and holding him, as Alex was shivering and crying in his arms. 'Emotion' he whispered to himself as he just stand there with Alex in his arms. June and Nathan was speechless, they wanted to jump in and stop everything, but this was an extremely rare event, Ty didn't do anything back. The thoughts in Ty's head was flooding, for too long he hid his emotions, for so long he had buried them away deep inside himself, and this small skinny wolf, is he, can he be able to break the barrier that Ty had put up for so long. Then it happened, one golden tear illuminated by the sun that was setting on the horizon rolled down his muzzle and dropped on Alex. With that they both crashed into the ground, sitting, and holding each other tightly. Neither of them really knew each other, but they both had something to share, a story, a feeling, a flare. After about 5 minutes of holding each other tightly Ty had to say something 'uhm, look buddy, I'm sorry, I didn't, and well I'm not good at this thing but.... Well yea, I'm sorry, I've been an ass, and the problem is not just to you, but to the rest of the world as well.' But almost directly after he said that, the thought was killed and he was back to his own, hard self, blocking out emotion of any sort. 'Look, it's interesting and all that, but we barely know each other, so do you think we can stop holding each-other now?'. Alex looked up with his soaked face fur and smiled 'sure' June and Nathan decided that the two of them will be just fine, so they scurried on home. Ty got up and offered a hand to Alex 'ok, well, let's start here, I'm Ty, nice to meet you Alex' as Alex gripped his hand and Ty pulled him up from the ground.

The two of them walked off the peer in total silence, Alex was a little bit awkward about the whole event since crying is really not his style, and he must admit to himself that he kind of really like Ty. Ty on the other hand wasn't awkward about it at all, the only thing he was, was confused. Confused about what had happened, why didn't he punch this little wolf straight in the face and then it should have been settled, but no, he just stood there and took every punch. He knew that the police psychologist told him that he was going to face his issues about that person some time in his life, but how can this event and his past possibly be related? When they reached the end of the peer Alex just could not keep his mouth silent anymore 'uhm, Ty... About... About well that...' 'Don't mention it' Ty replied softly, killing off Alex's conversation. 'But uhm, well I don't usually cry, or become violent like that, that never happened to me before, I'm sorry' Alex rushed through his word as he was a little insecure on what to say and how to say it, but this only confused Ty even more, *why is he sorry, what does he want?* he thought. 'Uhm, what you looking at?' Alex said with a smile, and at that moment Ty realised that he was looking Alex directly in the eyes, he blushed so much that he had to immediately look away in order to keep his cool. 'Huh, what you looking for?' Alex asked again with a pure intention. 'Nothing, I've gotta go home, it's been a long day' Ty said quickly as he started to walk away from the smaller wolf, towards his home. 'Uhm so I'll see you around i guess?' Alex yells and waved. Ty simply thought to himself *what a loud guy* 'properly, but the next time you see me, it will be inspector, I can guarantee that' he said as he walked away onto the street vanishing into the crowd. Alex was simply dumb struck and didn't know what to do, what just happened? He asked himself. Was it all the aggression that came out from his past, all the hurt and pain? And this attraction to Ty, he is very cute, and mysterious, what a total attraction. Alex sat on the beach thinking about what he was going to do, and looked at the waves, the sea shore, the beauty of it all and the stars starting to come out. All the sudden there were a couple on the beach, a young husky and his girl, a spotty Dalmatian, holding hands and walking on the beach. What a beautiful sight this was, so much romance, so much caring for another person, so much joy. Nothing that Alex will ever experience, or at least that's what he thought. *lonely, I'm lonely, so alone in this big world, it docent matter how much people I meet, I still can't overcome this feeling of loneliness.* he thought whilst watching the couple pass buy.

Looking out onto the street from his apartment window on the second floor, his mind was rambling on at what happened at the peer. Also tomorrow he had a couple of days leave since the 'exam' was so 'hectic', in fact Ty thought it was a joke, oh well, now he has 2 days to himself. He felt the settle vibration of his cell phone in his pocket, reached for it and read the message from Dober inviting him to a drink. Throwing the phone on his bed and ignoring the message, he continued in his thoughts *I've always tried my best in everything, I will definitely get a rank boost from this exam, I will definitely become an investigator. I must, there is no option to it. But what happened at the peer, I can't grasp it. No I don't need to grasp it, hmm useless thoughts.* and whilst he was thinking his phone started to ring. *annoying thing* he sighed and answer the phone 'yea'. 'Hey buddy, why dint you come drin......drink a drink with a couple of u...ussss h ere at the caslow?' a drunken Dober said over the phone. 'You're drunk, no thanks' Ty replied strictly and then another voice popped up from the phone 'idiot, hmm tt that you?' 'Yea, let me guess Maxine you need me to come get Dober, since he is intoxicated??' Ty said in a cool, predictable way. 'Yea, before i punch him out, it's not just him, but Felix and Jonathan as-well, they are also becoming a bit of a loud, group'. 'I'll be right over Maxine' Ty said whilst thinking of what an idiot Dober and the rest of the guys can be, he grabbed his badge, his gun and a jacket, because Dober knew that there can always pop something up. It was just the kind of guy he was, always had a plan, always knew what to do and always had thought ahead. He went to the bar they used to hang out, when he got there was no sign of Dober or any of the other drunken bunch. 'You just missed them' a elegant female cheetah said from behind the bar, Maxine not the kind of girl you want to mess with, she would literally crush a guy if he tried something. 'Great' Ty replied in a sarcastic voice. 'Can i get you anything?' Maxine asked, and Ty nodded, hmm give me the usual hey. 'Ok coming right up' and with that a well-built tiger came and sat next to Ty. 'I'm not in the mood to play games tonight Nathan' Ty said as Maxine gave him his drink 'half a tod whisky on ice, hey you two boys aren't gonna brawl in my bar again, if so, I'll have to drag both your sorry asses out of here' Maxine said with a strict voice whilst giving Ty his drink, and with that Ty and Nathan both shivered with the thought of how Maxine can crush a guy. 'Nope, not tonight Maxine, but thanks though' Nathan replied in a friendly yet settle manner. 'Ty, I know we have had our differences, but, well, June asked me to talk to you about ...' Nathan said but was shortly interrupted by Ty 'June, she still mad at me hey, hmm I'm really over that, dating her in the first place was a mistake, you guys are a much better fit, and if she want to talk to me why didn't she do so herself?'. Maxine threw a chunk of ice towards Ty and said 'I'm warning you mister, I'll kick your sorry arse back to boot camp or whatever you police guys do'. 'No, no that won't be necessary, Ty, look, June is still sore about you, no doubt about it, but it's not why I want to talk to you. Ty, what do you feel?' Nathan said calmly. 'Oh, hahaha, another shrink wanting to analyse me and tell me want to do or what to feel?' Ty said sarcastically whilst downing his drink. 'No, that's not what I meant. Uhm I mean, today at the peer.' Nathan said relaxed. 'None of your business' Ty replied quickly. 'Well June really cares for Alex, say he has a kind heart and stuff, but anyway, i think he really likes you' Nathan tried to explain. 'Oh so now not just all the girls in this darn place is after me but the guys as well?' Ty said irritability, I've known you from childhood. You are never happy with a girl, I guess what I'm trying to say is, why not give Alex a chance' and with that it was obvious that Ty had no idea how to reply, 'you intending i'm gay?' as he smacks his fist down on the bar table. Suddenly Maxine stabs a knife down right next to his hand and Alex jumps back with his eyes widened. 'Don't break my bar... Besides listen to Nathan, he is a psycho doctor and all that, and you need someone to love man, gee, besides, last warning, I'm extending it since this is getting juicy' Maxine said in a scary voice. 'Ty, look it's not about gay, or straight, or about race or anything, it's about love, and being happy. Everyone deserves that, especially you, and today at the peer, I've seen the way he looks at you, and the way you looked at him, I've never seen that look before.' Nathan said calmly. 'I'll think about it' Ty replied, simply to make the irritating tiger shut up, as he took out some money and placed it on the table for Maxine, and then walked out of the bar, on to the street back home, with his mind flooded with the day's events. *what a day, man, maybe i just need some rest, I'll go to bed early tonight* but that night his thoughts ran through his head like a speeding train, and he feels something he never usually felt, he felt alone. But he was always alone, why now all the sudden would it bother him? He knows very well that he could always handle his problems and issues without the consult of others, but there was something in Alexa's touch that he could not deny, a feeling of warmth, safety, could this be what they call love. But with that he discard the thought as he took a sleeping pill, to put him to rest *I'll feel better in the morning* he thought as he laid in bed and started to slowly drift away.

*********

The annoying alarm clock went off and Alex pressed the snooze button, again for the 6th time. 'Get out of bed lazy, you need to find a job, besides, I also made you a waffle. Don't ruin its perfection' Sed yelled from downstairs. 'Ugggh' Alex sighed as he slowly whipped himself from the blankets 'i don't wanna' he cried out and almost in a flash the chubby tiger was in the room 'get up' and with that he picked the wolf up by the t-shirt and dragged him downstairs. 'The waffle is now in a state of utter perfection, you need to eat it now' Sed said with frustration. 'But it's just a waffle?' Alex really shouldn't have said that 'just a waffle? Just a waffle?? I'll let you know that this is a legendary recipe given from generation to generation, it is perfect in every way, 100% symmetrical, totally tasty, with precisely....' Sed rambled on about the waffle, and almost had a sinister look in his eyes, that's when the wolf realised, 'eat or die.' Sed said almost with a rage in his eyes, and Alexa gave a small nervous giggle 'hehehe' after that episode Sed finally left for work. 'Man my perfect luck, find the perfect place to say, only my roommate is a complete lunatic, total perfectionist's chef... Gee. Hmm.' Alex said to himself as he put his earphones in his ears and started to listen to his favourite band, looking through the newspaper for work. But all he seems to think about was Ty, Ty's body, his perfectly cut arms, his mysterious expression on his face, and that subtle kindness he see in his eyes. 'Damn, with my luck he's probably straight, and with that body, ugh, he'd have allot of girls going after him, I probably don't stand a chance, no, focus, work, but those beautiful eyes, focus, damn ADHD, hmm, look here, looking for a waiter... I can do that, i have like 2 years' experience. Hmm let's try it' he responded to himself, and he paused his song just for a while, whilst he entered the phone number into the cell phone, it rang 3 times and then 'hey, this is Angie, what can I do you for?' the voice over the phone said. 'Hey, I saw your ad for a waiter in the newspaper, and I would like to apply, I have two years of experience' Alex said confidently, he always was a socialite, always a crowd pleaser, and knew his way with words quite well. 'Great, come for a interview, what are you doing now?' Angie replied. Confused and surprised Alex replied 'uh.... Ok..' 'Yea come to 199 Dane street, its le cafe coffee shop and pizzeria'. 'Ok I'll be there' he said and suddenly the phone went dead with a beep, beep, beep. Luckily Alex knew exactly where Dane street was, since that's the street where the bus stopped and June pushed him into the street. He quickly ran to his room and grabbed the most appropriate outfit for an interview he had, a black pair of neat pants, and a blue button up shirt. He quickly tried to organise his hair, but then decided that it was useless. He ran out the door, and walked on, only to remember he forgot to lock it, and then ran all the way back 'crap crap crap' he repeated, as he felt really compelled to get to the interview rather quickly.

*****

As Alex approached the address that Angie gave him, he noticed quite allot of peoples voices and laughing, but not really that much people around. When he approached the le cafe, he was stunned. A huge coffee shop/ restaurant, 2 floors high and a crap load of people sitting in tables all over the place. Wow, way different from Riverton. He went in and the cute little dingo waitress, 'how can I help you?' she asked politely, 'I'm looking for Angie' Alex said staring around at all the amazing decor and paintings around creating an amazing Italian style vibe. 'Oh well here she...' and on that note a thin lioness stepped in with the same voice as Alex herd over the phone. 'You want to speak with me? You that kid that wanted the job hey, your skinny...' she said and looked at him up and down. 'Ok well come to my office real quick', she pulled Alex on the arm to the managerial office, through the crowd, it was obvious that this was definitely not your average place, it was insanely crowded and insanely popular. 'So ya want the job hey?? Hmm, le cafe is the busiest place this side of town, also we offer the best service. You're lucky, I like blue, and you are wearing a blue shirt, so your interview will be very practical, it's now the lunch rush, you've got 20 tables. Tables 15 to 25, ya think ya kan manage that??' She said real quick. 'Uhm well, yea, uhm I just need' Alex stumbled over his words. 'Look kid, ya want the gig or not?' she asked and Alex said 'just show me the tables'. Alex replied confidently, but inside he was quietly dying... *shit shit Shit* he thought and the sweat started to drop down his brow. 'I like ya spirit, kid, ya tables are all there grouped together in that corner.' she said and then vanished again to help out since the place was stacked, now a queue was forming. Alex tried his best to get 5 tables orders at a time, first drinks all round then meals, but also asking politely, after 10 minutes he got through all 20 tables drinks orders, written down on the notebook, and then he gave them to the barman to prepare, then he rushed back through all the traffic, and got some more orders *damn, what a rush, definitely not Riverton*. He even tripped a few times over an annoying kid, or someone's shoe, luckily he had great balance to make up for his somewhat clumsy movements. He took some meal orders and rushed to give them to the kitchen, he pinned them up against the order board, but then he saw it.... Like a knife stabbing him in the ribs. Sed!!! *this is the place where Sed works.... No!! * But he didn't let that stop him, he went on from table to table and made huge tips, he managed to make his rent in only one hour. And then the rush was over... He was dead, but he did it... At least he's got his rent... Wham! Angie slapped him hard on the back. 'You pack quite a punch kid. Welcome aboard, you got the job. You can keep all you tips and I'll give ya a basic of 1500 per month, how does that sound?' 'That much?' Alex said with a shock in his voice, knowing that that was quite allot for a waiter job, it was what the manager got in Riverton 'you're in the bid city now kid' Angie said out loud, oh and thank your friend Sed, he told me to give you 20 tables, he taught you could handle it, looks like i owe him 200 bet money' and with that Sed peeked out from the kitchen with a knife 'you are mine hehehe' he snickered. *damn, as if i don't get enough of the guy at home, oh well, this is a great gig* Alex thought, when wham Angie smacked him on the back again. 'Get working, or I'll have to fire your ass today as well.'

*********

'Aww crap, I should have known you'd get the promotion, guess your my new boss now, inspector' Dober rambled on and all that Ty could think of at that moment was what would be his first case 'took them long enough to announce it, two weeks, what the hell' Ty frowned . He didn't worry about the money, it was all about the performance for him. On that note a Dalmatian popped out of the corner punching Ty on the shoulder, 'congrats man, now you're finally as good as me' the Dalmatian said sarcastically. 'Yea, hmm, how boring' Ty said, as he showed his new badge to the Dalmatian. 'Hmm, looks like you and me are partners on your first case, here's your copy of the paper work, apparently something about a serial killer in in the south suburbs, apparently a wolf fanatic, he only kills male wolves' the Dalmatian said, scanning through the papers as they strolled through the precinct to Ty's new desk. 'Perfect' Ty said. 'Hmm, maybe I should talk to the boss about you and this case, since well, your history and all that with you're...' 'No, I can handle this' Ty stopped the Dalmatian as he got a serious look on his face. 'Ok so where should we go to celebrate?' Dober said aloud as he raised his hands smiling deeply. 'Maxine already made the reservations' Ty said almost as if he didn't want to go.

*******

'Alex you mind working a second shift tonight? Nelly got the cold so she can't come in tonight, and it looks like it's going to be a quiet night, only 2 reservations... Damn I hate Mondays, no money on it' Angie asked Alex whilst shaking her head and drinking from a vodka bottle. 'Shure, I can use extra tips' Alex replied quickly. 'What ya saving up for anyway??' She asked Alex as she gulped down another shot. 'I want to study journalism!' Alex said excited. 'Wahhhhahaha you... A journalist! Mahahaha' Angie chuckled out loud. Hmm yea yea. 'Looks like your first reservation is here, there on table nr 110, on top floor, Nellys usual waiting spot. Hmm if you get any other clients, you can also take them up, it'll make it easier for ya, I told Sed to cash up closing time, so chek ya tomorrow.' Angie said with a hiccup, as she stands up and walked out through the kitchen. Alex took his clients up to the first floor, a cute couple, a golden retriever and an otter. So in love, so passionate, you could just feel it. *ugh, this is going to be a long night*Alex thought as he took their order. Then the second reservations came in. Alex felt his heart jump up to his throat, blushing insanely. *Ty* he thought whilst trying to grab a hold of himself.
