A Detective's Tail - 'Back to old Evils'
---Part 1---
Alone at a bar a German Shepard sat filling his stomach with his third beer. "Drunk, depressed and alone as always" he thought drinking the last bit of his drink.
*****
He opened his eyes as he woke up in his bed. "Fuck! I am going to be late again!" he said as he saw the time. He got up and got dressed for work, he usually wears his long brown coat with a detective type hat. He walked to his kitchen and opened the fridge. "Crap! No food!" His stomach was as empty as his pocket. "Not a fucking penny left for food, Ace you asshole!" He closed the fridge door and left for work.
*****
"Ace Heart, You're fired!"
Ace left the chief's office and hit the door as he left. "Fine you fucking, fat asswipe!" he whispered through an aggravated voice. He went to his office and stared at a piece of newspaper. "Best detective in fur city...Yeah fuck that was then, now I suffer to get a single penny and that which I have, I spent on getting drunk." He put all his stuff in a box and didn't bother to say goodbye when he left. He walked passed the grey figures, tall and small. He hated them. Now that there was no crime for two years he had no cases.
This meant no money to feed his yearning stomach.
*****
He sat in front of his black and white television. "Fuck the news!" he thought and turned it off. "There has got to be a way. I could move. The only problem is that I don't have a penny, even to pay my bills." He thought and laid back on the chair pondering. He opened an eye as he heard the phone ring.
"Hello, Ace Heart who's this?"
"You want a job dog? If you do, meet me downtown at the Red Tiger in an hour. I will be at the counter. I usually wear a leather jacket. You're a detective, be creative and see if you can find me."
"Wait..." Ace said, but the voice on the other end had already put down. He looked at his watch. "Fuck! Who wants me to go out into the street this time of night? Fine, if it means money, I probably don't have a choice."
*****
A yellow taxi stops in front of a club. In deep red a sign shows 'The Red Tiger'
Ace got out and paid the diver. "Fuck its cold" He entered the club and walked passed all the dancing furs. At the counter he saw a large grey wolf with a leather jacket. "Hey" Ace said unsure and watched the wolf's deep blue eyes.
"Yeah, Sit your ass down and listen. Hey waiter! Another drink for my mate over here!" the wolf said. "You see I am interested in getting back at my old job, but see the problem is you fucked up my father's business two years ago. You remember?"
"You're the son of Lupello? The gang boss of..." Ace was cut off short.
"Yes fuck, watch your mouth. We don't want anybody to run to the police, now do we?" the wolf said with an evil grin. "No, so where do I fit into your plans?" Ace asked.
"Well father is dead, as you might have guessed. I am planning to go on where he left off. You my canine friend, is going to help me kill the mayor of Fur City and cover up the tracks. You are the best; you can easily use your knowledge to make it look like a suicide. The other detectives will never know...ever." The wolf said making sure nobody heard him.
The wolf put his paw on Ace's shoulder. "So going to help me or what?"
"...right, what do I get if I help you?" Ace asked and gulped down his beer. "One" the wolf said, "One million? Are you serious?" Ace asked surprised. "Sure, If I take over Fur City I would probably have that much." The wolf said and got up. "We'll meet again in a week. Goodbye and don't get yourself killed." Ace listened to those last words and wondered how he was going to survive this week without any food. "One million, I would never have to be hungry again." Ace thought as he got up and left.
A Detective's Tail - 'Cold murders of the Unknown'
---Part 2 ---
A week passed like seconds. Ace got up from one of his long lazy naps. "Damn, I guess tonight is the big night. The mayor deserves to die. The stupid prick only shook my paw to make him look good on that photo." Ace thought and walked to the kitchen. He sat at a chair and chewed on a piece of ham sandwich, which he got for helping at a lumber yard.
He started to chew but it became harder to swallow as he thought of his history and what he stood for. "No! I can't turn around now. Just think of the One Million. Yes, I can buy a big house and get married. I would never have to worry again." he thought.
The sun was sinking into the mountains. The door bell rung and he went to answer it. He opened it only to stare face to face with Lupello's son.
"Ace, Howzit hangin' dog?" "Fine, come in" Ace said. He closed the door and made sure nobody saw them. "Right firstly you never told me your name, what is it?"
"Just call me R." the wolf said with a grin and made himself welcome at one of the chairs. "Back to business, how exactly is the mayor going to die?" Ace asked with a cocked eyebrow. "Just like the buck he is, through the fucking brain. Sounds fun huh?" R said with an evil grin. "You are going to kill him right?" Ace asked.
"No pup, I am going to be at the bar drinking myself drunk. Fuck, you stupid or something. Yes, I am going to kill him."
"Okay, Geez. I just asked you a question." Ace said lowering his ears a bit. "After the mayor is dead I will take over this city and turn it into my father's dream empire." R said. "I really don't give a fuck; all I want is my money." Ace said.
*****
The mayor is sitting in his room. His wife is riding him as always. Outside R and Ace stares at the guard. "The fucker has to go for a piss anytime now. He has been drinking beer for two hours now. Ah there he goes." R whispered. "Let's go." Ace said and they ran towards the side of the house. "Wait I have a lock pick, don't go anywhere without it." Ace said and took the small device out of his bag. "Gotcha, just give me a minute I'll go to the back door and call you if it's safe." Ace said and ran towards the back of the house avoiding not to make any sound. A few minutes later they were in the house.
*****
"This could not have been more perfect, the mayor is screwing his wife. We can shoot them both and make it look like the mayor killed his wife and then himself." R said.
"No, I've got the perfect plan. His wife is going to go to the crapper, and then we can shoot him in the head, thus she will think he shot himself, and tell that to the police. Luckily I brought rubber gloves and I hope for god's sake you don't have a hair loss problem. Also don't touch anything; forensic scientists can be surprisingly smart at sniffing out the truth." Ace whispered.
*****
"Now is your chance, she is leaving. Here take this pillow and before you pull the trigger, push the gun against it. She won't hear a sound...I hope. Then when we are ready to make a run for it and everything is set, pull the trigger and shoot him at the same spot again. Thus it will conduct a sound and she will come out running. Now do as I said." Ace said and waited for R to finish the job.
*****
"Aghhh!" the mayor's wife screamed as she saw her dead husband with a gun in his paw and blood everywhere. She fainted. The guard ran inside the house through the front door. Just as he did, R and Ace ran away through the back door. Luckily for them the mayor was too stupid to have installed cameras in his home.
*****
"Good job Ace, I am impressed. I will give you your pay tomorrow night." R said and left. Ace entered his home and turned on his television. The news showed the event which he helped cause an hour ago. He was shocked to hear something else had happened. It seems that there was an 'accident' at the police station when one of the 'cops' accidentally blew up the whole building and everyone in it.
A Detective's Tail - 'Payment Day'
---Part 3 ---
The next morning furs were running up and down hospitals and streets. It seemed like the world was ending. Ace sat on his bed and listened on the radio. Murders and theft was taking place everywhere. "Wasn't this what you wanted detective?" His conscience asked him. "No! I just wanted money! That's all. I was hungry! I was angry and... greedy." Ace felt like crying, but it wouldn't help anyone. "I unleashed hell onto earth and now everyone was suffering." Ace thought.
*****
Ace walked passed all the burning cars and the stores with broken windows. There was an ambulance with a dead child. Next to the child laid paramedics covered in blood.
Ace felt his heart in his throat and wanted to spit it out. "You did this! Your greed and selfishness caused all of this!" His conscience said walking beside him like a dead ghost from hell.
Ace's world turned into burning fires and screams. He was walking towards the 'Red Tiger' the devil's home where he would meet the devil's son.
R was standing outside with a huge grin on his face. Ace walked toward him. "Ace, you like my father's dream city?" R asked. "No... where's my money!?" Ace asked with pain and anger.
"By the way, my name's Revenge. My father picked out a good name for his son, don't you think?" R said and held a gun towards Ace's heart.
"I'll see you in hell Ace Heart. Here is your one, one shot to hell!" He said and pulled the trigger. Ace fell on the ground and stared R in his eyes which seemed so dark. "...traitor."
*****
R walked down the street smiling at his handy work. Just as he was nearing the crossway, he felt a strange pain. Blood poured out of his muzzle and he turned around to look at Ace. "Say hello to your father for me!" Ace said and shot R in the head.
