All right. Took a little vacation and now back with some more brotherly fun with Russ and Dan. This is my first time writing added a yiff sence with cubs. If you don't like this stuff, push the little button on the computer that says off. Comments always welcomed. Don't be shy and tell me what you think.

"All right, I've had it," Dan said angrily.

"What's wrong?" Emily asked as she and Angel walked into the living room.

Dan reached onto the leather couch and pulled up a handful of fur.

"Whose is that's?" Angel asked.

"My brother's. Which means its grooming time. Steele can you grab the grooming bag?"

Steele let out a peep and flew upstairs.

"He hates getting groomed so I'm going to need your help."

"What do you want us to do?" Emily asked.

"I need you to hit him with a mute spell and paralyzing spell. I'll get the tube ready." Dan said walking upstairs.

Emily looked around the room as shedded fur was everywhere. She let out a chuckle as Angel looked at her.

"A grown man making a fuss about being groomed?"

"We were all like that at one time." Angel chuckled.

"I know. I can't wait to be groomed by Daniel myself."

Dan walked downstairs, a black bag in one hand as Steele was on his shoulder.

"All right he's still sleep. Lets get him before he wakes up."

"Are you sure that's a good idea to do?" Angel asked.

"Better then chasing him all day."

They headed upstairs quietly and entered Russ's room. He was snoring away face down in his pillow, his tail twitching a little every now and then.

"I need you guys to hit him at the same time. Emily apply the mute spell and Angel the paralyzing spell."

"Okay," they said.

"Do it."

They nodded their heads as they raised their hands towards Russ. Russ woke up instantly but couldn't move as he started to panic.

"What's going on?"

"Bath time for you furball," Dan said picking up his brother.

"Let me go Daniel, I mean it."

"Yeah yeah, I'll let you go," Dan said with a smile as he dropped him into the soap filled bathtub.

Russ let out a yelp as he hit the water.

"I'll get you for this," Russ growled.

"Sure you will," Dan said kneeling down as he opened the bag taking out multiple brushes.

Russ kept a low growl as Angel and Emily chuckled. He gave them a glance making them go quiet.

"I'll make sure to punish you accordingly my little bunny," he said with an evil grin.

"Mmm sounds like fun." Angel said.

"Christ look at all this loose fur. Jesus Russ," Dan said brushing him down and putting the loose hair into a bag.

"Shut up. This is your fault I'm like this."

"Sure, keep rubbing it in you ass."

Russ's low growl slowly turned into a soft murr as he began to enjoy his treatment. Dan poured some water over his head rinsing him clean of the suds.

"All right, you girls dry him off. I'm going to get rid of this waste."

They began to towel him down as his fur was wet and damp.

"Need more towels. I'll get some," Angel said getting up.

Emily nodded her head as she continue to dry Russ off. She felt his muscles in his arms as her mind started to wonder.

"I wouldn't mind being tied with him for a night," she said to herself.

He even had a strong scent on him making a murr come from her throat.

"How far down do you plan on going?" Russ said.

Emily snapped out of her trance at his words as she noticed her hand coming extremely close to his neither regions.

"I'm sorry," Emily said blushing.

"You were getting excited there for a second. I smelt it," Russ said with a grin.

Emily went red as she got up when Angel walked in.

"Sorry it took so long. The towels were in the dryer."

"No problem. Just get me dry."

Dan came back upstairs as he looked on.

"Doesn't that feel better?"

"Shut up," Russ said.

"I love you too."

Dan's phone rang as he picked it up.

"Speak to me. When's the trial? Okay, I'll be there."

"Was that Sean?" Russ asked.

"Yeah. The trial's set for three today. I'm going to head down now. Emily you coming?"

"Of course. Let me get dressed."

Russ grabbed one of her tails and motioned her down with one finger as he whispered into her ear.

"If you want to go one on one, just ask."

Emily blushed heavily but nodded her head sheepishly before leaving. Angel noticed but said nothing as she was left alone with Russ.

"Just you and me my wolfie. Let me get you dry then we can have some fun."

"Oh I intend to," Russ said.

*********

"Don't forget kids, tomorrow is show and tell. Bring something fun," the mouse said as the kids left the school to their parents waiting outside.

The snow leopard held up the picture again of a small gryphon. He lifted his head as heard the children rush out. Taking off his sunglasses, he scanned them one by one till he saw him.

"Bye Bernie, see you tomorrow," the small wolf girl said waving goodbye.

"Bye Clair," the small gryphon cub said, a backpack on his shoulders.

Bernie scanned the parking lot looking for his mom but didn't see her.

"Hi, are you Bernie Torres?" the leopard said walking up and kneeling down on one knee.

"Yes, I am." Bernie said a little scared.

"Hi, my name is Micheal Ranson. I'm from the police station," he said showing his fake badge. "I'm here to take you to your mom."

"Is she okay?"

"Oh yes, she's fine. Her car broke down near our station and she asked us to pick you up."

"Okay," he said with a smile.

"Great, let's go. My car's over there," he said pointing to the red jeep.

They walked over to the jeep as Micheal put Bernie in the back and buckled him up. Hopping in the front, he started the car and took off just in time as the mother pulled up around the corner.

"You thirsty Bernie? I got some fruit punch in my cooler."

"Okay."

Micheal smiled as he opened his cooler in the front seat and handed him a fruit punch in a can. Opening it, Bernie drank it down happily.

"So Bernie, how old are you?"

"I'm ten. My birthday is next week."

"Really? Well I'll have to get you something then," Micheal said stopping at a light.

Micheal checked the rear view mirror to see Bernie's head going up and down like he was drifting off to sleep.

"You tired Bernie?"

"Just a little," Bernie said rubbing his eyes.

"You can take a nap if you want. I'll wake you when we get there."

"Okay," Bernie said with a yawn as he passed out quickly.

Micheal gave an evil smile as turned the corner.

"The boss is going to love you."

*******************

"You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you god?"

"I do," Dan said.

"Be seated."

"Defense, your witness," the judge said, an old looking goat.

"Thank you your honor," the badger said getting up.

He walked forward as he put his hands behind his back.

"Mr Miller, is it true you know my client Mr. Baxtor Stockton?"

"Yes I do."

"And what are the charges you made against my client?"

"Trafficking illegal drugs and guns along with the murders of Ron James and Carlos Silvia."

"I see," the badger said. "And is it true you knew my client since high school?"

Dan raised an eyebrow curiously.

"Yes I did."

"And is it true you had a personal grudge against him because he was better then you?"

"Objection your honor the question is irrelevant," the coon said standing up.

"Withdrawn," the badger said. "Mr Miller, on the day of April 18th, please describe in your own words what you found?"

"I found illegal guns from sawed off shotguns to armor piercing bullets in Mr. Stockton's house along with crates of cocaine covered in coffee grounds. The bodies of Carlos and Ron were found buried in his backyard covered in artificial grass."

The badger trailed a finger along the black strip trailing his head.

"And when you entered my client's house, did you have a court issued warrant?"

"There wasn't enough time to get one because he was going to move the stuff."

"Yes or no Mr. Miller. Did you have a court issued warrant to enter my client's house?"

Dan balled his fists tightly which nobody saw.

"No I didn't."

"So you entered my client's house, destroyed his property, and illegally seized stuff that belonged to him?"

"That stuff wasn't his." Dan said angrily.

"Answer the question Mr. Miller," the judge said.

"Yes I did."

"No further questions your honor," the badger said with a smile as he sat down.

"Prosecution, your witness."

"No questions your honor," the coon said with a defeated look on his face.

"The court will recess will the jury makes their verdict," the goat said banging his hammer.

Dan got up and left the courtroom and headed for the water fountain.

"Fuck," he yelled causing people to look at him.

"Why didn't you tell me you didn't have a warrant?" the coon said walking up.

"Because I didn't have time Sean. Jesus he was going to move the stuff if I didn't stop it."

"You know the jury's going to rule in his favor."

"I know god dammit," Dan said angrily as the water fountain started to freeze.

"Mr. Miller, court is back in session," the guard said.

"I'm coming."

They walked back in as the judge took the stand.

"Has the jury reached a verdict?"

"We have your honor."

"Let's hear it."

"We the jury find the defendant, not guilty on the charges of trafficking."

"And the second charge?" the judge said.

"On the two counts of first degree murder, we the jury find the defendant, not guilty."

Dan's eyes went wide as he stood up.

"That's bullshit."

"Mr. Miller hold your tongue." the judge said.

"That asshole's a killer and your going to let him go free?"

"One more outburst and I'll find you in contempt of court."

Emily grabbed his arm as she felt his magic sky rocket.

"Daniel, please calm down."

"This court is adjourned. And in the future Mr. Miller, don't make another outburst in my courtroom or I'll lock your ass up. Is that clear?"

"Yes your honor." Dan said with anger as he left with Emily and Sean.

They walked outside as the press was all around. He avoided all of them as he stood on the sidewalk, ripping his tie off.

"He paid them off. I know it."

"We can't do anything about it now. Next time try doing things right. Otherwise it was a good attempt," Sean said.

"Yeah I know. Thanks again Sean."

"No problem. Take care man."

Dan looked back to see the dalmatian Baxtor with his bodyguards and lawyer talking to the press.

"Don't let him get to you Daniel," Emily said.

Baxtor walked over to where Dan was with his three bodyguards. He had on an all black silk suit with a pair of sunglasses in the pocket.

"I hope this doesn't affect out friendship Daniel?"

"If you know what's good for you Baxtor, you'll walk away."

"Oh come now Miller, you should've played by the rules. You can only be angry at yourself."

Dan didn't say anything as Baxtor chuckled.

"How about we bury the hatchet and go have a drink like old times?"

"I don't drink with assholes."

"That hurts," Baxtor said with a coy smile as his limo pulled up.

He walked over to Emily and ran his fingers through her hair.

"How about you beautiful? Care to have a drink with a real winner?"

This sent Daniel in a rage as he grabbed Baxtor and slammed him onto the the limo. His bodyguards reached into their jackets but he held his hand up.

"You touch her again and I won't need a warrant for what I want to do."

"You never change Daniel. You've always been jealous of me."

"You think so? Then how about we change that," Dan said pulling out his gun.

"Dan don't do it," Billy said rushing up after parking the car.

"Go ahead Dan. Then when you shoot me, smile for the cameras," he said directing his eyes towards the flashing cameras.

Dan let out a growl which Baxtor smiled too as he put his gun away.

"Now, do you mind letting go? This suit costs more then you make in a week."

Dan felt Billy touch his shoulder as he let him go.

"Get you tires checked Baxtor. Wouldn't want you having an accident."

"My tires are just fine."

Dan snapped his fingers as the left side of the limo tires went flat.

"Have a good day sir," Dan said as he, Emily, and Billy got in the car and took off.

Baxtor chuckled as his bodyguards walked up.

"Should we take care of him?" one of them asked.

"He's not one you can take of so easily. Don't worry about him for the time being," Baxtor said as his phone rang. "Hello? Yes, the jury did their job well. Don't worry, this will not interfere with our deal. You should have one coming to you as we speak. Yes I know, the younger the better. Just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you." Baxtor said before closing his phone.

He looked up to see another limo pull up as the driver opened the door.

"Need to be careful now. I know he won't give up. Make sure to keep your noses clean."

"Yes boss," the guards.

*******************

The hawk let out a yawn as the last customer left the bank.

"That's the last one Mr. Jones," the security guard said.

"Thanks Gican. Let me finish up here so I can leave."

"No problem."

Jones finished counting the money and double checking the paperwork before locking the safe. Grabbing his coat and keys he headed for the exit.

"Don't stay too long Stanley," Jones said with a smile.

"You know me Mr. Jones, I have no night life."

"Yeah I know," Jones said with a chuckle. "See you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Mr. Jones," Stanley said locking up.

He walked behind the counter and grabbed the Detex gun and made his last round. His phone rang as he put in his ear piece.

"Hello? Hey there cuteness, how was work? Yeah, I'm almost done here, just need to do one finally tour," he said tapping a sensor hearing it beep.

He continued chatting as a portal opened up above him as three pairs of eyes stared down. When he was far enough down the hall, three figures dropped down and hid in the shadows. Stan got a chill up his spine as he stopped talking and looked back.

"No, nothing's wrong. Thought I heard something."

He turned back around and continued his tour as the figures fled upstairs without making a sound.

"Hurry up, the guard will be here," one of the figures said.

One of the figures drew a circle in the wall as it became transparent. With a nod, two of them rushed in with bags as one of them stood watch.

"Three minutes."

There was a lot of shuffling and opening of draws.

"One minute," the figure said as he heard the guard down the hall. "Thirty seconds."

The two figures came out, bags filled as the one that drew the circle rubbed it out. He drew another circle in the ground as they disappeared into it. It closed with a snap as the guard came into view.

"I'm telling you honey, me and you are the perfect match. I'll treat you like a queen," Stan said stopping at the safe and punching in the code.

The safe opened with a clank as he walked in. He did a quick walk through before tapping the sensor and closing the safe back.

"Okay I'm done with my tour. I should be there in about fourteen minutes. Then I get to have my way with that nice furry ass of yours," Stan said with a smile.

**************

The man let out a groan as he pushed into the small cheetah again. The cheetah let out purrs and mewls as she got taken.

"God, I should've done this ages ago. Little kids are so tight and just fill of energy."

He felt the cheetah tighten on him letting out a small growl as her orgasm hit. Her walls clamped down on him hard making his head spin with pleasure as he hilted the cub and empty his load inside her. His seed spilled inside a he absorbed the life energy in her young body.

"Oh god, good girl Megan," he panted kissing her forehead.

"Thank you daddy," she said licking his chin. "Did I do it good enough?"

"Oh you were very good."

He pulled out with a wet slurp as the liquid spilled out.

"Go clean yourself up dear and have fun with your brothers and sisters."

"Ok daddy," she said getting up and leaving the room.

The man grabbed some tissues and wiped himself off before putting on his robe. He left the room as kids were all around laughing and playing.

"They have so much energy in them just waiting to be taken by me."

His senses picked up something entering his domain. Closing his eyes, he locked on to the presence he felt as he recognized them. Three panthers ran up to him all smiles.

"We're back daddy," they said happily.

"Welcome back boys. How'd it go?"

"It went great," they said holding up their bags.

He took one of the bags and reached inside, pulling out all sorts of diamonds and jewelry. A smile crossed his face as he put them back.

"Nice work my boys," he said kneeling down and embracing them in a hug.

"Do we get to play with you now?" one of them asked.

"Of course my boys. Let me take the bags," he said taking them. "Now you three head to my room and I'll be in there shortly to play with you."

"Hurray," they shouted happily and dashed off.

He walked off with the bags to a closed area. With a wave of his hand, a door appeared as he walked inside the room. The room was pretty wide as it had a huge flat screen TV on the wall as a desk with various folders was in one corner. On the floor was a giant rug with a picture of the Mona Lisa on it. On top of the rug was a recliner and leather sofa facing the TV. On the opposite side was a huge safe.

"Time to add to my collection."

He walked over to the safe as a small panel slot opened revealing a hand scanner. Placing his hand on the panel, a light scanned it up and down before it beeped and the safe opened up. Inside was a walk-in with an assortment of jewelry, money, gold bars, paintings and other stuff which was very valuable and expensive.

"Can never be to wealthy," the man said opening a draw and dropping the jewelry inside.

He walked to the back as a pallet of money was sitting there. Stacks of hundreds and twenties were piled up neatly as he added more to the pile.

"God I love the smell of it."

A beeping sound got his attention as he walked out the safe to the monitor behind the desk. He looked at it as he saw Micheal in the elevator holding a knocked out Bernie in his arms. He smiled as the elevator door opened and Micheal walked out.

"Here you go, one gryphon cub male, like you asked."

"Beautiful. Lay him on the couch."

Micheal laid him on the couch as Bernie let out a soft moan.

"Did you give him the medicine?"

"Yep. He's all ready for you. Do I get to have fun today?" Micheal said with a grin.

"Sure why not. Just take your pick and use the spare room."

"I must admit, using kids to steal valuables is genius," Micheal said with a chuckle.

"Nobody expects kids to be the culprit. So why not take advantage of it," the man said.

Micheal laughed and nodded his head.

"I'm going to have some fun now. He should awake soon."

"Thank you. I'm going to enjoy "breaking" him in," the man said with a smile.

*****************

Dan stepped out the shower, a towel wrapped around his waist as he walked into his room. Emily was getting dressed as the radio was playing soft jazz.

"I'm so glad I have tomorrow off," Dan said taking off the towel and putting on a pair of boxers on. "I need to rest my weary body."

"You cause your body to be tired with all those stunts you pull," Emily said combing her tails.

"Quiet you," Dan said putting his clothes on.

Emily chuckled as she got up and splashed some perfume on. Walking over, she stood in front of Dan and fixed his collar.

"You look handsome when you want to be."

"Its the only way to pick up girls."

"You're saying I'm not good enough?"

"I like a little variety in my life."

"That's not what you said last night," Emily said wrapping her arms around his neck.

Her perfume floated into his nose making her smell good as he pulled her close kissing her. She let out a moan as their tongues lashed at each other.

"Dammit Daniel we're going to be late. Hurry your ass up," Russ yelled from downstairs.

They broke off and smiled at each other.

"Shall we finish this later?"

"You better. You started this," Emily said with a soft growl.

They hurried downstairs and out the door, waving hi to the neighbors before getting into the car.

"You two really need to control yourself," Russ said in the passenger seat.

"You should talk. We can't even compare to how loud you two are some nights."

Angel blushed making Emily chuckle as the radio played the news.

"In other news, the Raines bank was robbed last night. An estimate of at least two million dollars in cash and jewelry was taken. Authorities are baffled as to how the robbers got in and out without the guard noticing or the alarms being tripped."

"Whoever did that has to be good," Dan said stopping at a light.

"An investigation is under way and police are hoping to have an answer. In other news, police have put out an amber alert in helping to find a young gryphon cub by the name of Bernie Torres. He's ten years old and was last seen coming out the J. H. Rose Elementary School. If you have any information, please contact the local police."

Dan let out a groan and rubbed his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Russ asked.

"I just know we're going to be asked to look into that."

"Its our job. Who knows, maybe one day you'll have a kid of your own."

"Don't even joke like that. I'll never have kids."

"Not even one?" Emily whined in the back.

"I'm not the father type, sorry," Dan said pulling into the station.

The parking lot was packed with cars, most of them upset parents or relatives. They got out the car and entered into a zoo of a station with lots of yelling.

"Wow, packed today." Dan said.

Susan and a number of officers were trying to maintain order as they slipped by them and headed upstairs where a collie and dragon were talking.

"I'm telling you Phillip," the collie said. "That vixen that was here a couple days ago smelt so good."

"Did she have on good perfume or something?" Phillip asked.

"Nah man, she was in heat. I did manage to squeeze her ass though which was very tight so you know she works out."

"I see. Pity I wasn't here to see her."

"Was she really that pretty?" Russ asked walking up.

The collie turned to see Russ and smiled.

"Hey Russell. Yeah, that vixen was smoking hot man. Tight ass and all, the whole package."

"I'm glad you got a squeeze," Russ said with a smile before his eyes flashed causing the collie to yelp as a small surge of lighting coursed through his body. He fell to the floor shaking before it passed.

"W....Whoa Russell, what....was that....for?" the collie panted.

"For squeezing MY ass Ben. Next time keep you paws to yourself."

"That was you?" Ben said wide eyed.

Russ gave a grin before walking past him and into his office. Inside, everybody was at their desk working before Irons walked in.

"I take it you guys seen the mess downstairs?"

"Who couldn't?" Dan replied.

"Well the mayor is coming to see what we are doing to help."

"I guess Marvin has his hands full," Russ added.

"You said it. This is the fourth kid that went missing this week. A total of fifteen in the last month and parents are furious."

Russ crossed his arms as his ears twitched a little.

"Have we heard anything from the kidnappers?" Angel asked.

"We haven't heard anything. I managed to get extra help from other stations with the missing kids."

Irons looked at Dan who was typing away.

"You need to control your temper Daniel."

"Why do you say that?" Dan replied not looking up.

Irons tossed the paper on the desk with the front page reading: "Are police abusing their authority?".

"Don't tell me you taking the side of this piece of shit?"

"You didn't get a warrant Daniel. Your lucky he didn't sue this department."

"Chief he was going to move the stuff, I had no time."

"I understand that. But next time, follow procedures."

Daniel let out a grunt as Susan's voice was heard.

"Chief, the mayor's here. I sent her to your office."

"Thank you Susan," Irons said hitting the button. "Okay, here's what I want from you four. Russell, you and Angel are going to work with Marvin on these missing kids cases."

"Will do chief," they both said.

"Daniel, you and Emily are going to work with Billy on these bank robberies. See if you can find something the crime lab missed."

"Okay."

"Well what are you standing around for?" Irons said.

Daniel sighed as he got up and left followed by Angel and Emily. Russell stopped Irons for a quick second.

"I've got some funky news. Ready for it?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Paul is still alive."

Irons raised an eyebrow as the cigar rolled around.

"You sure about this?"

"Positive. I had the chance to meet him during an awkward situation."

"I see. Well keep me informed and bring me something to prove he's alive like a picture. I won't tell the mayor as to not disturb her."

"Will do chief," Russ said with a nod before leaving.

************

Rick looked at the building in front of him then down at the paper. After much debate he decided to check out the contents of the envelope which lead him to the building he was at now.

"The Public Records Library huh?" Rick said.

With a grunt, he walked up the stairs and entered. At the front desk was a tall leopard in a shirt and tie rearranging some folders in the cabinet next to the wall when his ears perked up at the sound of the door opening. Looking back, he saw Rick looking around. The building was pretty big as it had tons of bookcases along with several tables with various people studying stuff.

"Welcome to the Public Records Library, what can I help you with today?"

"I'm looking for information."

"Well you've come to the right place," the leopard said taking a seat behind the front desk with the computer and began typing away. "What kind of information are you looking for today?"

"Information on the," Rick said looking at the paper. "Zilart company."

The leopard stopped typing and looked at Rick.

"I'm sorry sir, but that information is classified. Unless you have authorization, I can't allow you to see that."

"All I have is this paper." Rick said handing the paper to the leopard.

The leopard scanned the paper before his eyes went wide.

"Please forgive me sir. I'll get that information for you right now."

The leopard started typing at a fast pace as all you could hear was the clicking of the keys. After a couple of minutes, a cubical with barriers on both sides holding a computer made a beeping sound.

"You're all set sir. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you." Rick said.

He walked over to the computer and sat down. On the screen was various pictures and news clips.

"All right, I'm looking for August 1975."

He typed in the date as a loading bar appeared at the bottom right hand corner. A couple of second later, a color photo of a light Grey timber wolf shaking hands with Alucard appeared behind a building. The timber wolf looked handsome with a nice black suit and red tie. His dark blond hair going over the right side of his shoulder.

"Zilart company merges with Microcad. That's my father with Alucard. So did uncle know my dad?"

He skimmed through the pages until something caught his eye. Double clicking on an article expanded it showing the headlines: "Explosion rocks new formed companies. An unknown explosion inside the newly formed company building kills all inside expect four people: Will Drakson, Avery Shield, Joesph Sprint, and Rin Fullington."

"Those names are on this list as well." Rick said.

He sat back in the chair and crossed his arms.

"What connection does this have to do with anything? Dammit, just more questions. I just want to find Merlin and kill him."

He thumbed through a couple more pages, getting angrier by the second till something made him freeze. He double clicked on the article as his eyes watered a little. On the screen was his mother and father in a church and appeared to be getting married. The timber wolf couldn't look more happier as he had a regal looking silver dragon in his arms, their lips locked together in a sweet kiss.

"Mother....." Rick said softly.

In the background were people he didn't know but one, and that was Alucard who was clapping and looked to be talking to somebody that was off the picture.

"Guess daddy really trusted uncle."

Rick went to the last page which made him whine sadly. On it was the headline which read "Blaze kills Will Drakson and wife Alice, son survives." Rick gripped the mouse so hard it started to give off small sparks.

"Is everything okay sir?" the leopard asked.

"Fine." Rick growled.

He got and went to the entrance.

"Hope you found everything you were looking for?"

"No, I didn't."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Please, if you need anything else, don't hesitate to come back."

Rick walked out the building and closed his eyes. He was emitting a dark red aura as people looked at him and avoided him. He gained controlled of his anger and opened his eyes.

"A lot of good that did. All it did was piss me off."

He lifted his hand as he looked at the paper.

"Guess I'll go ask the remaining people that were friends with my father."

*************

Evan paced back and forth in his office. Everything he could think of to get out the agreement with Russell failed or hit a dead end.

"Shit, shit, shit. I can't believe I got that careless and let myself get into this situation."

A knock was heard as Michelle walked in.

"Evan, are you okay? You've been in here almost all day. Do you want something to eat?"

Evan stopped pacing and looked at her briefly before facing the window.

"Michelle, your sister and father were just some of the many people that were killed during the Sheryl Miller rampage?"

"Yes. I'll never forgive her or her sons," she growled angrily.

"What if I told you I knew the person responsible for making her cause that rampage?"

"I would hunt them down and make them pay for what he or she did. The suffering I will make them go through will not be short."

"I see," Evan said closing his eyes.

He turned and looked at Michelle before sitting down and resting his chin on his crossed hands.

"Do you know this person Evan?" Michelle asked walking up.

Evan didn't respond as he sat there.

"Evan, please tell me. I most know," she whined next to him.

"I'm sorry Michelle, I don't know." he said softly.

She held her head down before Evan pulled her into his lap and brushed her cheek softly.

"Please forgive me for bringing up the subject."

"It's okay," Michelle said hugging him close as she cuddled her head under his chin.

"How about I take you up on your offer for lunch. Get me the usual."

"One tuna fish with potato salad coming up," Michelle said kissing him softly and getting up.

"Oh yes, one more thing?"

"Yes?" she said turning around.

"Call up Merlin. Me and him need to have a talk."

"Of course."

*************

The beaver let out a sigh and rubbed his head as he stopped at a light. Russ looked at him with a smile.

"You okay there Marvin?"

"I'm getting to old for this job. Maybe I should retire."

"Marvin, you're only thirty years old." Russ chuckled.

"I'm in my prime man. I haven't even gotten laid in four months since my ex left me."

"I'm sure there are plenty of girls out there who would love to date you," Angel said in the back seat.

"Are you one of them?" Marvin said with a smile.

"Sorry, but I'm taken by my wolfie here."

"Thanks for getting my hopes up."

"I'm sorry Marvin," Angel said kissing his cheek.

Marvin smiled as he pulled into the parking lot of the J. H. Rose School. Getting out, they headed for entrance as kids were outside waiting for their parents.

"What are we doing here?" Russ asked.

"Somebody had to have seen something. Ask some of the kids with their parents."

"Okay," they both said.

They walked around, asking all the kids if they seen Bernie leave with anybody other then his mother. They all said no or they didn't see anything. Russ let out a sigh before he felt a tug on his shirt. Looking down, he saw a small boy wearing a pair of shorts and a tee shirt.

"Hey there big guy, what can I do for you?" Russ said getting on one knee.

"Are you looking for Bernie?" he asked.

"Sure am big guy. Have you seen him anytime yesterday?"

"I saw him leave with a leopard yesterday. He didn't look like his dad."

"Did you happen to see what the leopard was wearing or what he looked like?"

"Not really. I was getting into my mommy's car when I saw him leave."

"Did you see what kind of car they got into?"

"Yeah, they got into a red car. It was pretty."

"Great, thanks the tip partner," Russ said ruffing his head making the boy giggle.

"David, there you are."

They looked over to see a mid size female walk over.

"Mommy," David cheered as he hugged her.

"Who's your friend?" she asked.

"Hi ma'am, I'm Russell Miller of the SNDU. Your son there help me out with a great tip," Russ said with a smile.

"He did huh? Well I guess this calls for some ice cream."

"Yeah ice cream," David cheered. "Bye Russell," David waved.

"See ya little guy."

Russ watched him leave as a couple of flashbacks of when he and Dan were little waiting for their mom after school. He felt his eyes water a little as he closed them.

"Something wrong Russell?" Angel asked walking up.

"No, just remembering something. Any luck?"

"Couple of kids say they saw him leave with a police officer which means he's probably using a fake id," Marvin said. "A couple others say they saw him get into a van or jeep so this doesn't help cause we can't get a license plate."

"David said it was a red jeep that was driven by a leopard. It isn't much to go on but we'll put out an APB on it and see if we get lucky." Russ said.

"Okay. Let's head to the parents house and see if we can find anything else," Marvin said as they nodded their heads.

************

"Sorry for keeping you waiting Ms. Mayor. Things are kind of crazy at the moment," Irons said closing his office door.

"Its understandable," Julie said. "Shall we get down to business?"

"Of course."

Irons sat down but not before putting his cigar out.

"First things first, what are you doing about the missing children?"

"I have my veteran Marvin Craft handling the cases. I've also included Russell and Angel along with help from other stations." Irons replied.

"Good. What about the bank robberies?"

"I've got what leftovers I have covering those. So far they've come up with nothing as I sent Daniel and Emily to see if they can find something the crime lab missed."

Julie crossed her legs and played with a loose strand of hair.

"I'm getting complaints up the ass Irons. People want answers."

"I understand mayor, we are working as fast as we can to provide those answers."

"There's an art exhibit coming up you know. Its going to be displaying the Punjab ruby."

"Punjab ruby?" Irons asked confused.

"The largest ruby ever found estimated at two point six billion dollars. If that gets stolen, this city will be sued and our tourist attraction will plummet."

"I'll try and come up with some extra cop detail."

Julie nodded her head and got up before remembering something.

"Oh yes one more thing. What do you intend to do about Daniel Miller?" His actions are starting to warrant police abuse."

"I've talked to him already and explained to him he needs to do things by the book. If anything like this happens again, I'll suspend him."

"See that you do. Cause if something like that happens again, I'll do what my late husband wanted. Which is put him in a hole in jail so deep he'll never see the light of day."

"I understand mayor," Irons said.

"Have a good day," Julie said and left.

**************

Dan showed his badge before ducking under the yellow tape along with Emily and Billy.

"I'm still baffled on how they got in and out?" Billy said.

"Maybe it was an inside job," Dan said.

Lots of yelling grabbed their attention as they saw Jones yelling.

"That's absurd," Jones yelled. "He would never do that."

"Sir please calm down," an officer said.

"What's wrong?" Daniel asked walking up.

Jones turned his anger quickly on him.

"You let him go this instant."

"Hold on sir. I have no clue what you're talking about."

"You guys arrested Gican for no reason."

"First of all, we didn't arrest him. We just want to make sure this wasn't an inside job. Cause there is no way the robber could've gotten in and out without tripping some kind of alarm."

"How dare....."

"Second of all," Dan said cutting him off. "It would be a good idea to head to the station yourself to clear you up a suspect. We are just following procedures sir. Please don't take anything seriously."

Jones snorted as a cop walked up besides him.

"You'll be hearing from my attorney. Be certain of that," he chirped angrily before being lead to a waiting car.

Dan let out a sigh as Emily chuckled.

"So you do have a good side. That's good to know."

"Don't get any ideas," Dan said walking in.

Cops were all over the place taking pictures and discussing stuff.

"Where's the safe at?" Dan asked.

"Second floor," Billy said.

They walked up the stairs towards the safe as forensics were all around dusting for prints and taking pictures.

"Well well, look who they decided to call in, the monster squad."

Dan let out a groan as a lion walked out the safe, a huge grin on his face.

"How goes the paranormal life Miller?"

"Not now Manny." Dan said.

"What's wrong Miller? Afraid the boogie monster might get me?" Manny said pretending to hide making everybody laugh.

"Daniel who is this idiot?" Emily asked.

"Manny Carpenter, use to be one of us but said he didn't like feel like chasing fairy tale monsters."

Manny laughed as he walked up. He had on black pants with a vest covering his white shirt with the forensics logo on it.

"So what brings you from out of wonderland?"

"Irons wants me to make sure you didn't miss anything."

"Ha, that old bastard can kiss my ass. I know how to do my job, unlike some people."

"If you say so."

"Still have your sense of humor too. You never change."

"I like who I am thank you."

Manny chuckled before turning serious.

"I don't appreciate Irons sending a babysitter."

"I'm just following orders Manny." Dan said.

"Whatever Miller."

Dan walked past him into the safe. The walls were aligned with shelves that were still open. The shelves had key holes in them that looked untouched.

"How did they get the safe open if they were locked?" Emily asked.

"Good question." Billy said.

Dan looked around as Manny watched him.

"What are you looking for Miller?"

"I won't know till I find it."

"We checked all the shelves for fingerprints and came up empty. What do you hope to find?"

Dan closed his eyes trying to pick up anything magical as he felt a very light pull. He followed the pull to the wall and looked at it.

"Find anything?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, how they got in." Dan said.

"This is a double thick wall Miller. Are you trying to tell me a ghost walked through the wall to steal money in order to pay a toll to get through the pearly gates?" Manny said making everybody laugh.

Dan tuned him out as his eyes glowed dimly causing the wall in his eyes to glow as he saw the hole made to get in.

"Here's the hole they made to get into the safe," Dan said pointing to the wall.

"What hole?" Manny asked.

"But the size of it is to small for a regular size adult."

"Okay, so we're looking for a ghost that's the size of Gary Coleman?" Manny laughed along with everybody.

Billy growled angrily as Dan shook his head.

"Your right, this is a small hole," Emily said looking at the wall, her eyes glowing dimly as well.

"Billy you think you can run a list of all the people under six feet?"

"Sure. I can check when I get back," Billy nodded.

"All right, lets get out of here."

They walked out the safe before Manny stopped them still chuckling.

"You know I'm only busting your balls right Miller?"

"Sure I do Manny. Make sure you check out Youtube tonight."

"Why?"

"Remember that video we took during our investigation of the Den of Rancor?"

"You mean the one where I......?

Dan smiled as Manny growled.

"You wouldn't dare..........?"

Dan just turned around and walked down the stairs, Manny still yelling at him.

"Don't you do that to me Daniel. You said you were my friend?"

"I am," Dan yelled back before leaving.

**************

Julie let out a sigh a she rubbed her eyes.

"You would think we would get some kind of support from other cities."

Her intercom buzzed as Donna spoke up.

"Ma'am, you have a Baxtor Stockton on line five."

"Thank you."

She hit the speaker button and sat back.

"Mr. Stockton, may I be the first to say I'm sorry about the way you were treated."

"Don't worry about it mayor. Me and Dan go way back," Baxtor said with a chuckle.

"So what can I do for you?"

"I heard you are having trouble getting guards for the exhibit. If you like, I could loan you some of my bodyguards?"

"Oh, I can't ask something like that from you."

"Its okay mayor. Consider it a gesture of goodwill."

"Well if you insist, that would be helpful."

"Excellent. I will make the proper arrangement. Have a good day mayor."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Stockton and you have a good day also."

Baxtor hung up the phone with a smile.

"That was too easy."

"Did she fall for it?" Micheal asked.

"Hook, line, and sinker."

"What a dunce," Micheal laughed.

Baxtor tossed the phone on the desk and reached inside pulling out a Cuban cigar. Leaning back in the chair, he put his feet up before lighting it.

"What do you intend to do about the cop?" Micheal asked getting up.

Baxtor inhaled before blowing out rings of smoke.

"Let me worry about Miller. I know how he thinks so I'll have the advantage. Go and tell Jay everything's ready."

"Sure thing," Micheal said with a nod before leaving.

Baxtor tapped off some ash from his cigar before closing his eyes.

"Miller's going to cause problems. Maybe I can seduce him somehow? I do know what he likes and dislikes."

A smile appeared on his face as he chuckled.

"But if it comes down to it, I'll kill him myself."

**********

"Thank you for seeing us Mr and Mrs Torres," Marvin said inside their house.

"Of course, anything to bring our son back." Dana Torres said on the couch alongside her husband Eddie.

"I'm just going to ask a couple of questions. You have all right not to answer."

"Okay," they both nodded.

"Do you have any enemies or people who want to do you harm?"

"Not that I know of. We're both church folks so we go by the good book." Eddie said.

"Have you received any ransom note or call?"

"No. I don't even know if my son is alive." Dana said starting to tear up.

Eddie handed her a couple of tissues and rubbed her shoulders in comfort as Marvin wrote some notes.

"Do you have a picture of your son that we can post on our board?"

"Of course. We have his little league picture. Let me get it," Dana said getting up.

She walked over to the mantle and pulled down Bernie's picture. Handing it over, Marvin, Russ, and Angel looked it over. Bernie had on an all white and blue uniform with the cap on his head and a wooden bat on his left shoulder. His amber eyes held the happiness of a healthy ten year old.

"He's a beautiful kid," Angel commented.

Dana's eyes started to water as she sniffed.

"He's all I have in the world. Please find my baby."

"We'll do all we can Mrs. Torres," Marvin said. "Do you have a number where we can reach you in case we need anymore information?"

"Of course. Here's my business card. It has my cell phone number which is on all the time." Eddie said handing Russ his card.

"Thank you both for your time. We'll contact you if we find anything," Marvin said with a bow.

"Please do. I can't relax until I know he's safe."

They all left the house and sat in the car.

"You know magic Russell. Can't you use some kind of tracking spell?"

"I need something more then a photo to go on." Russ said shaking his head.

"Damn. So much for the easy way out," Marvin groaned as he started the car.

**************

Bernie let out a soft moan as his eyes opened slowly. His head hurt him with each movement.

"Wh......Where am I?"

"Ahh, I see your up."

Bernie looked over to see a man in a pair of gray slacks and black shirt.

"Who are you?"

"My name's Jay Oberto. How about you?"

"Bernie."

"Well Bernie, its nice to meet you. You want some water?"

Bernie was hesitant as Jay noticed.

"Don't worry. I'm a doctor of sorts. You have nothing to fear."

"Okay."

Jay smiled as he opened the fridge behind the desk and grabbed a small bottle of water.

"Here you go, drink up."

"Thank you," Bernie said sitting up on the leather couch.

"You don't look so good Bernie. Are you okay?"

"My head hurts. I want my mom and dad."

"Okay. Do you have their number? I can give them a call for you."

Bernie tried to remember but couldn't.

"I don't know it."

"Well do you want me to look you over? I am a doctor like I said."

"Okay."

"Great. lets start by taking off you shirt so I can check you heart," Jay said with an evil smile as he reached over the desk and grabbed a stethoscope.

Bernie nodded his head and took of his shirt showing his white fur as his brown wings folded along his back.

"All right, lets check you out. Give me a couple of deep breaths," Jay said behind him placing the flat part on his chest.

Bernie breathed deep as Jay watched with lust.

"God he's perfect. So soft and warm on the outside and I bet tight as hell." Jay said to himself. "Hmmm, your heart sounds just fine. Let's check your eyes."

Jay walked around and knelt in front of him holding a small pen light. Lifting it up, he shined it into both eyes while casting a mind control spell in his head. Thanks to the drink Micheal gave him earlier the spell was effective almost immediately as his amber eyes slowly turned gray.

"Well Bernie I can't see anything wrong. Does your head still hurt?"

"Yes."

"I can make you feel better if you want?"

"Please do."

"If I do, you have to trust what I'm going to do okay?"

"Okay."

"Good. Okay, take off the rest of your clothes."

Bernie looked at him confused but nodded his head. He stood up and took off his red shorts along with his white underwear. jay watched with hunger as his eyes drank up his small body. His erection throbbed in his pants screaming to ram into his tight body.

"Now Bernie, I want you to sit down and close your eyes. I'm going to make you feel better."

"Okay."

Bernie hopped back on the couch and closed his eyes, hoping to feel better. Jay took this time to rip off his clothes as his hard on, sprung upwards free from its confinement. He knelt down and felt the smooth fur on Bernie's knee making him giggle.

"You ready Bernie?"

"Ready."

Jay reached up and slowly ran a finger up Bernie's small sheath making him inhale sharply. He continued his slow teasing as he saw the first signs of Bernie's penis.

"Its black huh? What a great catch man. I have to remember to thank Baxtor for this one."

He watched it grow to about four inches as he smiled. Reaching under the couch, he pulled out a small bottle of oil. He applied a small portion on his hands. Once his hands were nice and slick, he gently grabbed a hold of it and stroked it once making Bernie moan and thrust softly into his hand.

"Does that feel good Bernie?"

"Yes," Bernie moaned out as his breathing began to pick up.

"Told you I would make you feel good."

Jay smiled as he applied a little more pressure making Bernie squirm as pre dripped onto Jay's hand. Using his other hand, he played with his balls making Bernie moan.

"Oh yes, I'm sure as hell going to enjoy this one."

Bernie's body squirmed as he never felt anything like this before as he threw his back with another moan. His claws began digging holes into the couch. Jay felt his manhood pulse lightly as his balls began to pull into his small body.

"Beautiful. The first taste of his energy must be rich," Jay thought evilly as he brought his mouth over and swallowed him whole. Bernie let out a gasp of surprise and moaned loudly as his first orgasm rapidly approached.

"J....Jay, somethings happening.....to me. I feel like....I have to......pee."

"Its okay Bernie, let it go," Jay said with huff as he worked himself also.

Bernie couldn't take it no more as he felt his stomach tense and let out a chirp as he came. Jay smiled as he took everything his body offered, feeling the high energy he carried as he came also. Bernie slumped down on the couch breathing hard, a small layer of sweat covering his chest. The phone rang as he got up to answer it.

"This better be good? Everything's all set? Perfect. I guess the new comer can earn his stripes."

**************

Rick looked at the address again before checking the paper in his hand. He was in front of a small house in the back of town in a dead end alley.

"I hope this guy is still alive."

Rick rang the doorbell and waited. After a minute, he heard the door open as the chain on it kept it from opening all the way. Peeking outside was an old man that looked in the fifties as his face started to wrinkle and the top of his head was bald.

"Who are you? What do you want?" the man said looking at him with his blue eyes.

"Are you Joesph Sprint?"

"Who wants to know?"

"My name is Richard Drakeson. You worked along side my father."

The man looked at him hesitantly before closing the door and undoing the chain.

"Come in quickly."

Rick nodded his head and hurried inside as Joesph closed the door, making sure to dead bolt it and chain it. Rick took a moment to look around. It was a small house, not too big but just right for a single or married couple not having kids. The living room and kitchen were connected as stairs lead upstairs to what was presumably a bedroom. The living room had a nice beige rug which a rocking chair and a sofa occupied along with an end table that had a bottle of whiskey and a shot glass. Joesph walked past him into the living and pointed to the couch. Rick nodded his head and sat down while Joesph took the rocking chair.

"Who sent you?"

"Nobody. I came here to find out about my father."

"So, your father was Will Drakeson huh?"

"Did you know him?"

The man chuckled as he sat back in the chair.

"Yeah I knew him. He was one smart son of a bitch."

"What did my father do?"

"He was a great bio chemist. Came up with some of the greatest finds that helped many people."

"I read the company you worked for merged with my uncle's company."

"Your uncle?" Joesph confused.

"Yeah, Alucard."

Rick saw him twitch visible.

"Uncle huh? I pity you."

"Why do you say that?"

"You don't know him as well as we did."

"He's taken care of me ever since my parents died. He's been the only family I had." Rick said angrily.

"So young and immature," Joesph said sadly. "If it wasn't for him........"

He stopped mid sentence as he looked behind Rick to see a pair of eyes looking at him angrily making him shiver.

"If it wasn't for my uncle what?" Rick said.

"You should leave. I've said enough." Joesph said getting up.

"But you haven't told me anything."

"And its better that you don't know. The less you know, the safer you are."

"But......."

"GET OUT!!!"

Rick let out a growl but stood up and walked to the door.

"Do yourself a favor Rick, forget about what happened in the past." Joesph said watching Rick walk down the stairs.

"I'm not stopping till I find out who killed my parents and why." Rick said looking back with determined eyes.

Joesph looked at him as he remember those same determined eyes Will had long ago.

"I'm sorry about your parents Rick. But digging in the past is only going to get you killed. Mark my words."

After saying that, Joesph closed the door as Rick heard the dead bolt locked along with the chain.

"What was that all about all of a sudden? Its like something scared him from telling me something."

With a sigh, Rick crossed off the name and proceeded to the next name on the list. Joesph watched through the blinds as Rick turned the corner. With a sigh, he turned only to come face to face with Ginyu.

"You talk to much Joesph. Alucard doesn't like that." Ginyu said.

"I didn't say anything to the boy. You have to believe me."

"No hard feelings Joesph. Like Alucard always said, its just business."

**************

Daniel pulled into the parking space and got out along with Emily as he saw Russ and Angel by the elevator.

"So what was so important that I had to come here?" Dan asked.

"You're going to meet someone very important," Russ said as they all got into the elevator.

"Its not the president is it?"

"No."

They got off the elevator and walked down the hall, waving hi to some of the students and teachers. They stopped when they reached the hall to Merlin's room.

"Daniel, I need your word that you will not lose your temper." Russ said looking at him.

"Is it that bad?" Dan asked.

"It could be. I don't want what happened last time to happen again. So give me your word."

"All right all right, you have my word," Dan said holding his hands up.

Russ looked at him for another minute before turning around and walking down the hall. Sanzo looked at them with malice before stepping aside and letting them pass. They entered his room to see Merlin talking with a person with his back turned. Upon hearing the door open, Merlin looked up with a smile.

"Welcome Miller's. Sorry for the call but we have a guest here that would like to "discuss" a few things."

With that the person in the chair turned around, a sour look on his face.

"And who might you be?" Dan asked.

"My name is Evan Brandol. And I need to get some stuff off my chest."

************

Julie waited outside with Donna for the arrival of exhibit.

"I hope everything goes good." Julie said.

"I'm sure it will Ms mayor," Donna said.

"If it does our tourist rate will sky rocket and bring in a decent city budget."

Police sirens were heard in the distant as they got closer before coming to a stop at the museum stairs. A black sedan in the middle door opened as a tall man holding a silver briefcase got out. He was soon surrounded by four cops as they walked up to the entrance where Julie welcomed him.

"Welcome to Capricorn. I hope your trip was pleasant?" Julie said shaking his hand.

"It was okay. A tad bumpy," the man said with a thick German accent.

"I'm so happy you chose our town first to display the Punjab ruby Mr. Duncan."

"The pleasure is mine."

"Please head inside. The museum director is waiting inside."

Duncan bowed his head before walking past them. Once inside, Julie let out a sigh of relief.

"So far so good. Lets hope we bat hundred percent."

She looked to her right to see Micheal walking up to her with about six people in suits.

"Ms. mayor, these people behind me work for Baxtor. They are now under your command per his orders."

"Oh thank you very much. Donna, show them to the guard station."

"Yes ma'am," Donna said and lead them inside.

"Tell Baxtor I don't know how I can repay him for his kindness."

"Oh don't worry. He'll get what he wants in the long run," Micheal said with a smile.

************

"Evan Brandol? Never heard of you," Dan said with his arms crossed.

"Please have a seat young one," Merlin said as chairs appeared.

Everybody took a seat as Merlin smiled.

"Now that everybody's here, begin Evan."

Evan nodded his head before directing his attention to Russell.

"I'm here to announce that as of today, I'm no longer head of the Faction."

This took Emily by surprise but not Russ and Angel who seem to have a coy smile on their faces.

"And why should I care about this?" Dan said.

"But Evan if you do that, the Faction will fall and the Red Court will gain in power." Emily said.

"Not really. The new head of the Faction which was approved hands down is Michelle Lee. I will serve as an outside source."

"I don't understand. Why are you doing this?" Emily asked.

"Because certain things have turned up that if released to the press, could cause the Faction to be put under a lot of fire."

Russell chuckled as Angel handed him five dollars.

"Guess you win," Angel said.

"Told you."

"What's going on?" Evan asked confused.

"We made a little bet about how long it would take you to figure your way out of this."

This made Evan snarl as he gripped the arms of the chair.

"You think this is a game don't you? Now I really regret not taking care of you back then."

"What do you mean by that?" Dan asked.

Evan looked away and crossed his arms.

"I'll explain what he means by that," Merlin said.

Merlin explained the whole situation as Dan listened closely. When he was done, Dan had his hands balled up angrily as his magic began to rise rapidly.

"Daniel, you gave me your word," Russ said.

"So, you're the one responsible for everything," Dan said angrily.

Evan just let out a humph and closed his eyes. This set Dan off as he got up and slammed Evan's head on the desk pulling his gun out. Russ got up but Merlin held his hand up.

"You caused everything. Tell me why I shouldn't splatter your ass on this desk?"

"Go ahead. This will only prove my point about you and your mother."

Dan pressed the barrel hard against his head, wanting nothing more then to kill the person responsible for his mother's death. He closed his eyes, driving the hate out of his system as he put his gun away.

"Its people like you that give assholes a bad name. Before going around judging people, maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror first."

With that said, he let him go before heading for the door.

"Daniel, where are you going?" Emily asked.

"To blow off some steam. Get a ride from my brother," Dan said slamming the door.

Evan rubbed his neck as he watched the door.

"Now that I'm no longer in the Faction so to speak, you can't hold that tape against them." Evan said looking at Russell.

"I never intended to."

"What!?" Evan said angrily.

"If I let that tape out, the Faction would crumble and the Red Courts will rise in power so fast that nothing would be able to stop them. Don't worry though, I still have the tape and will use it under dire situations."

"You mean everything I did was for nothing?"

"Nothing? I lost five bucks thanks to you," Angel chuckled.

Evan was furious. This was twice he let Russ get the best of him. He got up angrily and headed for the door.

"This ain't over Russell Miller. You and your brother will be contained. Mark my words on that."

Evan slammed the door angrily and headed for the elevator.

"Did you hear and see everything?" Evan said in his head.

"I did. This Russell is going to cause problems," a voice replied.

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing at the moment. Let me talk to a couple of people and I'll get back to you."

"Of course father," Evan said as the elevator doors closed.

**********

Jay walked around the museum, examining the fine collection he saw displayed.

"Such a wonderful collection. A shame I don't have room for them all."

He noticed a guard looking at him. The guard angled his head towards the bathroom as Jay nodded. Jay went in first followed a minute or two later by the guard. The guard walked up to the urinal stool next to Jay and pretended to go to the bathroom.

"Is everything good to go?" Jay asked.

"We're good to go here. All we have to do is take care of the rest of the guards."

"Good. I expect perfection."

"Don't worry about a thing." the guard said zipping up and washing his hands before leaving.

Jay smiled and washed his hands after zipping his fly. He walked out in time as the museum director out onto a small platform.

"Thank you all for coming on this great day," a hippo said wearing a suit. "We have the honor of being the first museum in the world to display the fabulous Punjab Ruby. So without further ado, I present Mr. Anthony Duncan."

People clapped as the tall man took the stage.

"Thank you all for coming here. It is a great honor to display our finest piece of our country here in Capricorn. We hope that you enjoy the splendor and beauty of it as we have."

Duncan walked over to a podium that was holding something which was covered up by a red cloth. Removing it, an orange sized ruby sat on a small pillow under a glass case. People were amazed at the size and the amazing light reflecting off of it.

"My god look at the size of it," Jay said to himself. "A ruby worth two point six billion dollars, which will soon have a new owner."

**************

Dan sat down at the table, a pitcher of long island ice tea that was halfway gone as he got dead drunk.

"You should've killed him," he heard his darker half said deep inside him. "If I was still in control, his brains would've been all over that desk."

Dan took another heavy drink. He looked at the phone as it vibrated for the seventh time. He finished what he had in his cup before breaking it on the table. Grabbing the pitcher, he started to drink straight to the head, some of it spilling down his neck.

"Look, he wasted," a rottie said watching Dan slam the pitcher down as his head swayed.

"Let's go see how much cash he has," a ferret said.

They walked over to Dan who was in another world as he let out a hiccup.

"Hey buddy, how about buying us a drink?" the ferret said.

Dan looked at him as his vision was blurred. Instead of seeing the ferret, he saw Evan's face.

"What....hic.....do you want?"

"Give us a drank then all you money," the rottie said pulling out a switchblade.

"First you.....hic....kill my mother.....and now....hic.....you want to rob me?"

"What?" they both said confused.

"You won't.....succeed.....hic.....unless I.....hic...kill you first."

Dan got up and grabbed the ferret's head slamming it on the broken glass as the glass got stuck into his eye. The rottie let out a scream and started to run. He didn't get far as a gun shot echoed throughout the club making everybody scream and duck.

"What the fuck?" Adam said running out seeing Dan holding his gun. "For fuck sake Daniel, what are you doing?"

Dan didn't say anything as he fell to the ground. Adam let out a sigh as he called a couple of bouncers over.

"Get rid of the two bodies and I'll take mister drunkard upstairs."

"Okay boss."

**********

Rick let out a sigh as he walked down the street.

"Well that went nowhere. One person wouldn't talk to me, one is missing for the last two years and another is dead. Only one left on the list."

His stomach growled as he grunted. Looking down the street, he saw Avhi's bakery and headed over. Opening the door, the sweet smell of bread flowed into his nose.

"Hey there teddy bear," Avhi said walking over and giving him a hug. "What brings you out here?"

"Doing some research and I smelt your bread so I decided to stop by," Rick said with a smile.

"Well have a seat and I'll fix you something," she said giving his chin a rub making his tail wag.

He sat down at a table and open the folder trying to find anything he might've missed. The door opened as a fur walked in and stood at the counter.

"Hell sir, what can I get for you?" Avhi said.

"A half loaf of whole wheat please."

"Sure, coming up."

The fur smiled before looking around and spotted Rick reading papers. He walked over and studied him.

"Can I help you?" Rick said not looking up taking another bite of his bread.

"Now I remember you, from the warehouse."

Rick looked up to see Billy standing over him.

"Don't know you from any warehouse. Now please leave."

"Well maybe this will refresh your memory, two girls in heat skinny dipping by the lake."

Rick's eyes went wide as he looked at Billy again.

"How do you know that?"

"Because I was one of those girls. But now, your going to answer some questions at the police station."

"Police station? I've done nothing wrong."

"You kidnapped an officer, which is enough for five years. Put your hands behind your back," Billy said bringing out his handcuffs.

"You mean Miller's a cop?"

"Correct."

Rick cursed himself as he got and felt the handcuffs being applied. Avhi walked out and let out a gasp as she ran over.

"Rick, what's going on?"

"Sorry Avhi, I need to head out. Don't worry, I'll be back."

"Can I do anything to help?"

"Yeah, call my uncle. Tell him I'm at the police station."

Billy gave him a small push as they walked out the bakery to his car.

*************

Russ let out a sigh as he closed his phone.

"Still no luck?" Emily asked.

"No. I called all the places he would be at and nothing."

"He'll be okay Russell. Trust your brother," Angel said rubbing her arm.

Russ nodded his head as he walked down a set of stairs. Him, Angel, and Emily where in the sewers looking for an artifact that was suppose to be long destroyed but a student told Merlin that somebody saw it in the sewers.

"Yuck, it stinks down here. This smell will never get out my fur," Emily pouted.

"No kidding," Angel added.

"Welcome to the wonderful world of being a cop," Russell laughed.

They walked down the hall following the directions the student gave them. He couldn't help but notice child size holes a couple of feet off the ground in the wall. Getting closer, he shined a light inside as it seem to go on forever.

"I wonder where these tunnels lead?"

"Maybe raw sewage comes out," Emily said.

"No. I would've smelt it on the rim."

A giggle caught their attention as Russ pulled out his gun and looked around. The giggle came again along echoing footsteps that came from the tunnels.

"Okay, this place is starting to creep me out. Lets find this artifact and get out," Emily said.

"Yes please." Angel added.

Russ nodded his head but kept his gun out as he followed the rest of the directions. The directions ended them up at a dead end.

"Are you sure Rob's directions were right?" Angel said looking at Emily.

"Positive."

Russ looked at the wall as he saw discoloration on the bricks. Walking up, he ran his hands around until he felt a small switch. Pressing it caused the wall to slide open revealing a small room. It was filled with small vases along with a couple of crates and boxes. At the end stood a coffin that was open.

"Looks like he was right," Russ said walking up.

He walked over to the coffin to see a skeleton inside. It was intake except the right hand was missing. Running his hand over the bones, he scanned it for any trace of magic.

"Whatever artifact that was here is gone now." Russ said.

"I guess we got here too late," Angel said walking up.

Everybody jumped when Russ's phone went off.

"This is Russell. You need some extra help at the museum tonight? Sure, I can lend a hand. Be right there. All right ladies, lets get out of here."

"Gladly," they both said.

They left the way they came, not noticing the pair of eyes watching them from the tunnels.

************

Night came quickly as the last of the museum customers exited the building. With a sigh, the hippo locked up the front doors and patted his forehead down with a napkin.

"Today went well don't you think Mr. Duncan?"

"Oh yes. I must thank you again for your hospitality."

"Oh think nothing of it. This little exhibit will strengthen our foreign affairs."

"Indeed it will Breg. How about we celebrate with some of my country's finest wine at my hotel?"

"I would be honored. Let me make sure all the guards are in place."

Breg walked up to the security room where a bear was watching monitors and talking on the radio.

"Is everything all set Josh?"

"All set Mr. Gum. The new guards are in place so we're good to go."

"All right. I'll leave everything in your hands."

"Good night Mr. Gum."

Breg nodded and walked out the room down the stairs to a waiting Duncan. With a nod, they both left the building in a waiting limo in the back and drove off. Micheal watched from the roof with a smile.

"You ready to make your dad proud?" he asked the figure next to him.

"All set mister."

"Good lets go."

Josh let out a yawn as he watched the monitors when his radio went off.

"Report?"

"Area F-8 going to the bathroom."

"Roger that."

The panda slipped into the bathroom and went to the urinal. He let out a sigh as he felt his bladder empty. Behind him, the stall door opened as a figure walked out slowly. With blinding speed, the figure wrapped a cord around the panda's throat. The panda let out a gasp as he struggled to get free but the attacker had a firm grip and good leverage. In a few minutes, the panda went lifeless and got pulled into the stall.

"One down," the figure said in his ear piece.

A wolf patrolled the area, looking at the various art pieces. His ears perked up at the sound of shuffling as he pulled his flashlight and gun out. Walking into the dark corner, he took a peek around until he saw the cause of the sound which was a small poster that fell. With a sigh, he lowered his gun and light. As soon as he did, a hand covered his mouth as he felt his body being stabbed repeatedly. A small whine escaped as he got lowered into the dark corner.

"Two down."

Josh let out a yawn and rubbed his sore eyes. Picking up the radio, he did a check in.

"All units check in."

He got no response as he tried again.

"All units check in."

No response again as he started to get angry.

"What the hell are you people doing? Answer the radio."

"They are taking a nice long nap. Why don't you join them?"

He turned around alone to have his throat cut quickly. He let out a gurgle before dropping to the ground as his blood pooled under him.

"All guards down, you can enter now," the figure said taking off his black hood revealing his panther face.

Micheal smiled as he opened the roof door and walked down the stairs. He made his way to the ruby display where six people were waiting for him.

"Is everything okay?" he asked the cat.

"I got the recording on a loop. They'll never know anything happened here."

"Good. Let's defuse this alarm and get out."

**************

Russ parked the car and got out along with the girls.

"We're suppose to meet Frank at the back. Lets go."

"Okay," the girl said with a nod.

They walked to the back entrance and waited. After a couple of minutes, Russ was getting restless.

"Where is he?"

"Maybe he's doing a final check." Angel said.

Russ walked up to the door. He was about to knock when he noticed the door's latch was taped.

"Something's wrong. The door's been taped opened."

Russ pulled out his gun and walked in. His nose picked up the smell of blood quickly as he dashed into the shadows.

"A robbery is in progress. Emily and Angel, back me up and stay low."

The nodded their heads and proceeded inside. Micheal was getting impatience as he tapped his foot.

"What's the hold up?"

"The kid's trying his best. He's too nervous and keeps missing the breaks in the locks."

"Well hurry up."

Russ quietly made his way inside as he stayed in the shadows. His foot hit something as he knelt down to see a body. He brought his pen light light out and shined it on the face as he let out a grunt.

"Damn, I'm sorry Frank," Russ said to himself as he used his two fingers to close his eyes.

"How much longer?" Russ heard in the background.

"Last lock mister," the figure said next to the case.

Russ looked on before a loud thump made him jump. He looked behind to see Angel rubbing her head.

"Someone's here. Kill them." Micheal shouted.

All six people opened fire as everybody took cover.

"Emily call for backup. Angel, help me out," Russ shouted as he fired back.

Micheal took cover as he fired back, eyes still locked on the figure and the case.

"I got it," the figure said happily as the case holding the ruby lowered.

"Good job. Grab it, but be careful."

The figure grabbed the ruby careful and placed it in a small silk black bag. Russ covered his head as shattering glass fell on his head. Picking up a piece, he angled it just right to see where everybody was hiding.

"You can't hide from me."

He rose up quickly and fired two shots hitting his targets dead center in the heart as they dropped to the ground. Cop sirens were heard in the distance as Micheal growled angrily.

"Dammit, cops are coming. Cover me. Come on boy," Micheal growled grabbing the figure's hand and running away.

Russ saw him running as he growled. He tried to move but bullets pinned him down.

"Angel, make a smokescreen. He's getting away with something."

"Okay."

Angel chanted the spell quickly as the area quickly got covered in smoke. Russ waited until he had full cover then ran in. He took out his dagger which turned into a sword and quickly disabled all the thieves.

"You two watch them. If they so much as breath funny, zap them. I'm going after the other two."

"Roger," they said.

Russ rushed ahead to the stairwell in time to hear the door at the top close. He hurried up hoping to be in time. Micheal kicked opened the outside door as cop sirens were right underneath.

"Dammit, this plan is ruined."

He looked around to see another rooftop close by, just enough to make a jump.

"Come on, we have to jump."

"I don't know if I can make it."

"You can, just jump."

Micheal ran back, getting a good distance. With a sprint, he ran over and jumped, easily clearing the gap. He looked back and held his hand out.

"Come one."

"I.....I don't think I can do it."

"Yes you can. Now jump."

The figure shook with fear as he backed up. With a nod, he started his run. As he got the edge, he misjudged his jump as he missed the rooftop edge. A scream of horror followed as he fell down into a big pile of trash breaking his fall.

"Dammit," Micheal growled and looked down.

"Freeze," Russell said looking his way.

"Shit. Jay's not going to like this one bit."

Micheal took off running, hopping the small rooftops. Russ stopped at the edge and looked down to see the figure not moving. He jumped down with a levitation spell and landed next to the figure.

"Lets see who you are."

Russ pulled off the hood and gasped at what he saw.

"Bernie!!? What the hell?"

**********

"And this is where you'll be staying from now on," Alucard said directing Owen to a room.

"Thank you for accepting me master Alucard. I will live up to your expectations," Owen said with a bow.

"I hope you do. Ginyu said your skills in the Ballista tournament are top notch."

"I wasn't trying my hardest. When I do try, I can't be beat," Owen said with a smile.

"Impressive. I look forward to seeing you in action. I must take my leave."

"Thank you again master Alucard."

Alucard smiled as he walked down the hall. A small mouse came running up to him.

"What's wrong Cordelie?"

"Mr. Graves, you have an urgent phone call. Rick's in jail."

"Say what?"

He disappeared, reappearing in his office where his main phone was blinking.

"This is Alucard Graves. Who am I speaking to?"

"Hello, this is Avhi, Rick's girlfriend."

"Where is Rick? What happened to him?"

"A cop came into the store and took him away. I didn't hear what they were saying. Only thing Rick told me was to call you."

"Thank you my dear. You have my thanks," Alucard said hanging up.

Alucard picked up the phone hitting a speed dial button.

"Hello Jude, I need you."

***********

"Well Sam how is he?" Russ asked.

"Nothing major. Couple of bruises and a sprained ankle from the fall. He'll be right as rain after a good night sleep."

"That's good."

"That's not what got me mad."

"Well what is?"

Sam walked around to a table and picked up a vile that was a quarter filled with clear liquid.

"What is that?"

"Semen I found in his anal cavity."

"He was rape?" Russ growled.

"And under the control of a mind spell."

This set off a really bad nerve in Russ. He hated to see kids sexually abused.

"Who's is it?"

"I'm going to run it through the system now. I'll have the results in an hour or so. Also the parent are on the way."

"When you find out who it belong to, you tell nobody but me."

Sam nodded his head as he left the room. Russ looked at Bernie as he slept peacefully. He balled his fists tightly swearing he'll kill whoever did that to him. A knock was heard at the door as a nurse walked in.

"The parents are here Mr. Miller."

"Thank you."

Russ walked out to see Dana and Eddie sitting down. When they saw Russ, they both stood up and hurried over.

"How is he? How's my baby?" Dana said.

"He's fine Ms. Torres. He's resting now."

"May I see him?"

"Of course, please," Russ said giving her room.

Dana hurried in as Eddie watched her before turning back to Russ.

"Do you know who took my son?" Eddie said angrily.

"We managed to collect DNA evidence off your son. We'll know who took him."

"You better hope you find him before I do." Eddie said before heading inside.

Russ let out a growl himself as he wanted to do the same thing Eddie was thinking when his phone rang.

"What?" he snarled angrily. "You have who in custody? Really? I'll be down in a few. Put him in room number ten."

************

"What the fuck do you mean you lost them?" Jay said angrily.

"The cops came while we were getting the ruby. I ran with the kid up to the roof. I judged the distance and jumped first but he jumped to soon."

Jay was livid as the the walls started to shake around him. Baxtor stood there with his arms crossed on the wall.

"You know the cops are going to try and blame this on me?" Baxtor said.

"I doubt it. They'll think I'm the one who left the others to rot to get away."

"You better hope they do."

"So who has my ruby?" Jay said.

"More then likely the cop who chased me." Micheal said.

Jay balled his fists while Baxtor rubbed his chin.

"I'll use my contacts in the police to find out where it is. Just hope for your sake they still have it in evidence lock up." Baxtor said standing up. "I'll be in contact Jay."

Baxtor headed for the elevator with Micheal and took it up. When they left a couple of kids came running in.

"Daddy, some strange people were in the sewers today."

"Really? Where did they go?"

"They went to the place you told us to stay away from."

Jay eyes went narrow as he sat down.

"Good job my children. I'll reward you later. Go play."

"Okay daddy," they cheered and ran off.

Jay sat for a minute before opening his drawer and pulling out a worn out gauntlet.

"They came looking for this huh? Well they won't get it."

**************

Rick let out a yawn and stretched. His handcuffs were long since taken away as he sat there looking bored. Even though he hadn't been questioned yet, he was denied his one phone call, which was not exactly legal. Finally the door opened as Russell entered the room. His face was impassive but his eyes showed his anger at meeting the person who caused his brother harm.

"All right Richard Drakeson," Russ said taking a seat. "We're going to play a game. I'm going to ask questions and your gonna answer them. If you resist, I swear I'll have you put away behind bars in a maximum security prison for a long time."

Rick raised an eyebrow before sighing faintly.

"Ah just cut the bullshit Miller. I'll answer what questions of yours I deem worthy to answer."

Russ opened the folder he had brought in, placing pictures of Amon on the table.

"I don't think you understand the situation your in. I have enough to put you behind bar till you're dead so I'll tell you what I have on you. Now do you know this man?"

"Hmm," Rick said looking at the them before he shrugged his shoulders. "He's an asshole who's name is Amon so far as I know. He's the one that summoned the elemental I was with in the park."

"Wrong," Russ said placing pictures of the real Amon before his change on the table. "That is the former mayor of this city. A convicted pedophile sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole. First charge against you, aiding a convicted felon, assisting in his escape from custody."

Russ laid out pictures of Amon in various situations with underage minors. Rick made a face at this as he looks at the photographs.

"If that's the same guy, he's even worse scum then I thought. I certainly wouldn't help him escape. The only law I have broken was in direct regard to you and your brother. I hate criminals."

"Ah yes regrading that," Russ said sitting back in the chair. "Let see, abduction of a police officer, civilian, and minor," he said placing pictures of Dan, Emily, and Jacob. "Assault on an officer and well as attempted murder of an officer. So your looking at forty years to life. And as a member of the Red Courts, I know they can make you disappear. I also know a judge who has accepted you as a flight risk which means no bail."

Rick folded his arms across his chest.

"You'll never make all of those charges stick Miller. I didn't even want the kid, only your brother. Not to mention that you can't be tried for the same crime on the same person. While assault I freely admit, you can't prove attempted murder. I was bloody careful to make sure your brother would survive. If he died, he couldn't have told me what I needed to know."

"You took him and held both him and Emily against their will. That's kidnapping in my book and the law. Bottom line is, I will do whatever I can to turn your life into a living hell, your choice. You answer what I ask you, no conditions period. I ask a question, you answer, do you understand? Or do I walk out, let you have your phone call and allow me to turn your life upside down?" he said dead serious. Like all wolves, he is highly protective of his family. "And you'll never get any answers on your parents death for many years after sitting in a cell."

There was silence before Russ stood up and started to collect the photos.

"Very well. I hope you enjoy prison food. After I make the phone call to the judge, I'll let you have your phone all. Have a nice life."

Rick let out a snort before sighing.

"Its convenient to forget I helped you and your brother with that spider bitch isn't it? And even more convenient to take things you hear in you own way. Didn't I just tell you I'd answer your questions Miller? Ask your damn questions then. I'm not going to lie to you. But don't be surprised if I can't answer everything you want to know. I don't know everything. If I did, I wouldn't be trying to draw Merlin out."

Russell looked at him in anger. He was about to speak when the door opened as a deer walked in wearing a nice black suit and carrying a suitcase.

"Who the hell are you?" Russ asked angrily.

"I'm Jude Bryant. I'm here to represent my client Richard Drakeson."

Russell's phone rang before he could respond.

"What? He's awake? Okay. Did you find who DNA belonged to? Wonderful. I'll be right there."

Russ hung up and turned his attention to Rick.

"This is my last warning Richard. Stay away from me and my brother. Another officer will be here with the paperwork."

************

"What's the damage?" Julie asked.

"Luckily none of the priceless pieces were destroyed but we did lose some artwork from the gunfire," Donna said.

Julie let out a sigh as Duncan and Breg walked over.

"All my guards are dead. I have no idea what went wrong." Breg said.

"What about the extra guards we got from Baxtor?" Julie asked.

"They're in the hospital. Apparently one of them got away and took out some of his buddies but dropped the ruby," Donna added.

"Where's the ruby now?"

"Police headquarters. What really troubles me is how they got in." Breg said.

"I'm just glad the ruby's safe. This trip has been how do you say, exciting," Duncan said with a laugh.

Everybody looked at each other in confusion.

"You foreigners sure can provide some entertainment. Please come to my country when you get a chance. Have a good day," he said with a bow before leaving. "Oh yes, please have my ruby ready for me when I leave."

************

Russell knocked on the door before entering with Emily and Angel. They walked in to see a happy Bernie with his parents.

"Hey there big guy, how you feeling?" Russ asked.

"I feel great. Thanks for helping me."

"Great. I'm going to ask you some questions okay?"

"Okay."

"Do you know this man?" Russell said showing him a picture of Jay.

Bernie looked at it before nodding his head.

"Yeah. He's the doctor that made me feel good."

"Did this man touch you anywhere?"

"Yeah he did."

"Can you show me where?"

Bernie pointed between his legs as his mom gasped.

"He said he would make me feel good. He also put something in me which hurt at first but started to feel good."

Everybody was quiet as Dana was crying in Eddie's shoulder.

"Did I do something wrong?" he said sadly.

"No of course not big guy. What this man did to you, he shouldn't have done to anybody." Russell said trying to control his anger. "Do you remember where this man is?"

"No. The only thing I remember was getting into a red car with the officer."

"Thanks big guy, you've been a great help." Russell said ruffing his head making Bernie giggle.

They got up and left the room. Outside Russell hit the wall leaving a nice dent.

"I'll kill him," Russ snarled angrily as his magic soared.

"What do we do? We don't know where to look for this guy." Emily said.

"We don't, but those thieves do. Come on."

They went down the elevator a couple of floors and got out. Walking down the hall, they saw police guarding the door. They gave Russell a salute as he walked in where the doctors were tending to them.

"Get out," he said to them as they looked confused.

"But we have to........"

"GET OUT!!!!!!" he yelled causing the lights to flicker along with the machines.

The doctors hurried out as Russ walked over to a sleeping wolf. His arm was bandaged up as his breathing was calm.

"Get up," Russ growled grabbing his arm making the wolf yelp in pain.

"What the........"

"Shut up. I'm going to ask two questions and you better tell the truth. Number one, where is this man?" he said showing him a picture of Jay.

"Why should I tell you? You put me here."

Russ let out a growl as he walked over to a medicine cabinet and pulled out a needle. He left the room for a minute but came back with a bottle of liquid. He filled the needle right in front of the wolf before walking over.

"Where is he?"

"You can't do that. You're a cop." the wolf said wide eyed.

Russ applied the needle into the wolf's IV and pushed. The wolf let out a yelp as the deadly liquid went into his veins.

"Where......is......he?" Russ snarled.

"The sewers. In the sewers," the wolf yelp feeling the liquid course through his veins.

"More precise."

"At the corner of Harvard and Putnam. There's a hidden elevator down the alley."

"Last question, who hired you?"

"Baxtor Stockton."

"Where is he?"

"Don't bother with that one. I know where he is."

They looked to the door to see Dan standing there. The heart monitor machine hooked to the wolf started to beep.

"Russell, aren't you going to save him?" Angel said a little scared.

Russ grunted before holding his hand over his heart. Chanting a few words the deadly liquid came out his body, but not the way the wolf wanted as the sheets got damp. They left the room where Dan was waiting for them in the hall.

"Are you okay?" Russ asked.

"The question is, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Sure you are."

"Forget about me. Do you know where Baxtor is?"

"Yeah. I'll handle him."

"Do you want me to go with you?" Emily asked.

"Sorry, this is personal. You go handle the other guy."

They nodded their heads and headed for the elevator before Dan grabbed his brother's shoulder.

"Remember our job comes first before our feelings. You told that me yourself remember?"

"I know," Russ growled softly.

**************

"My men can't find the ruby anywhere Baxtor," Micheal said.

"Maybe its already been brought back to its original owner. Dammit, there goes seventy five hundred out of my pocket." Baxtor sighed.

Loud yelling got their attention along with gunfire. The building started to shake as yelps and groans were heard. After a minute it got quiet as Micheal and Baxtor looked at each other. The door exploded opened as a ferret and deer rolled into the room, their bodies looked broken in many places.

"What the hell?" Micheal said as he looked out into the dark hallway.

Footsteps approached slowly before Daniel walked into view.

"If you wanted to see me Daniel, you could've call in advance," Baxtor said.

"You've gone to far Baxtor. Getting away with murder is one thing, but when you start kidnapping and selling kids, I show no mercy."

"Its a dog eat dog world Daniel. You do what you have to do to survive."

Dan balled his fists angrily as he generated heat all around his body. Micheal took the chance as he quickly reached behind and pulled out his gun. He didn't get the chance to pull the trigger as he got shot from behind.

"You.......traitor," Micheal gasped.

"Sorry Mikey. Nobody kills him but me." Baxtor said, a smoking revolver in his hand.

Micheal coughed up blood before dropping to the ground. Baxtor pointed his gun at Dan who stood there.

"You never could beat me in anything Daniel. You always cried home to your brother when you got your ass whooped. What makes you think you can beat me now?" Baxtor snarled.

Dan didn't say anything as he reached slowly behind and pulled out his gun. Slowly he started to unload it as he tossed the clip to the ground and took out the single bullet in the chamber.

"I'm no longer the Daniel you knew in high school. I serve the police force SNDU," he said grabbing his badge and throwing it to the side. "Right now, the only thing I want to do is to make you bleed for everything you've done. So if you got the guts, drop the gun."

Baxtor looked at him for a second before smiling and unloading his gun as the bullets bounced on the rug. He took off his shirt and tie exposing his spotted chest which was well built.

"Very well my friend. I will prove to you once and for all, that you are not in my league."

"Bring it, friend."

**************

"Are you sure he's here?" Billy asked putting on a vest.

"If he wasn't telling the truth he would've died," Russell said bluntly.

"He's wanted in five other states for being a level five pedophile. A very dangerous man that I've been tracking with a friend for a couple of years before I formed this unit." George said.

Russell's mind was going a mile a minute thinking of ways to punish Jay. Angel walked up and spoke to him.

"Russell?"

"What?" he said with his back turned.

"Are you sure you're okay? I sense your magic becoming unstable."

"I'm fine."

"But........"

"I said I'm fine," he growled angrily turning around and looking her in the eyes.

She saw the rage in them and got scared. This wasn't the Russell she knew and loved.

"Are we ready?" Russ asked.

"All set," Billy and George said.

"Then lets get this sick son of a bitch."

They hurried down the alley looking for this elevator. Looking around, they didn't see anything until Russ started knocking on the wall. He knocked around until he heard a hollow sound.

"Bingo."

He felt around before finding the switch as the wall opened. They all got in and headed down.

"Be prepared for anything. This guy is a dangerous magic user," George added.

The elevator came to a smooth stop as the doors opened up to Jay's office. Russ inched out, gun ready as he scoped the room out.

"Clear," he said as everybody got off.

"Any sign of him?" George asked.

"No. But I smell sexual fluids on the couch."

"Lets look for him. He can't be far then," Billy said.

"Emily I need you to head back up and get extra units to cover all possible exits." Russell said.

"Will do," Emily said heading back up.

They headed out his room slowly, guns ready. The place looked like a huge nursery as toys were all over the ground. A couple of doors leading to rooms with beds were empty but smelled heavily of sex.

"I think we found the missing children," Billy said.

They heard laughter further in as they proceeded slowly. Peeking around the corner, they saw a double door leading to another room where the laughter got louder. They inched their way to the doors as Russ grabbed the handle.

"We go on three. Ready?"

They all nodded their heads.

"One........Two.........Three."

Russ opened the door quickly as they flooded the room. It looked like a mini sized gym as a stage was built and chairs were lined in rows. All the kids were standing up and staring at them with no kind of emotion in their face. Russ ran up to a small wolf cub and knelt down.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Get away from me," he growled.

"Hey easy there. I here to save you."

"My daddy already saved me."

"That man is not your daddy. Come on son, your family is waiting for you," Russ said reaching out to him.

The cub growled and bit his hand making in recoil in surprise.

"It seem you can't take no for an answer," Jay said walking onto the stage.

"Jay Oberto," Russ snarled.

"You did your homework I see."

"Your under arrest for things I'm not even going to go into."

"Who will take care of my kids?" Jay said with a smile.

Russ growled angrily and raised his gun to fire when all the kids raised guns at him he never saw.

"You see cop, my kids are very protective of their father."

"You sick fuck," George snarled.

Jay smile as he hugged a small tiger cub from behind making her purr happily.

"Not only are little kids tight and full of life energy, but they make the best thieves."

"How could you do such a thing?" Angel said.

"All it took was a little mind control and my semen to have them doing anything I want," Jay chuckled.

Russ was livid as he wanted to kill Jay right now.

"You must be the one that was here earlier. Were you looking for this?" Jay said showing the purple gauntlet on his hand.

"The Wyrm Gauntlet!? So it does exist," Angel said.

"Its a little old and doesn't have the magic it use to, but it still works."

Russ took another small step forward making the kids growl angrily.

"Don't push your luck cop. They will shoot you." Jay laughed.

"I swear when this day is over, you will be dead."

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

Jay stood up and started up the stage stairs.

"If you'll excuse me lady and gentlemen, I have an appointment to keep."

Jay got halfway off the stage when a soft lullaby was heard. Everybody looked at Angel who had her eyes closed as she sang "Hush Little Baby". All the kids started yawning before dropping to the ground fast asleep. Angel stopped singing and smiled.

"My mom taught me that."

"Impressive," George said.

"Didn't expect that. Got to run," Jay said before taking off.

"JAY!!! I'm going after him. Take the kids out of here," Russ said hopping the stage.

"But........" Angel said before George stopped her.

"Let him go Angel."

Russ ran down the hall after Jay who took every twist and turn as bullets hits the pipes behind him. Jay took another turn before stopping. He looked down to see a large room void of anyway out and about two stories down. He turned around only to be tackled by Russ as they both fell down into the room, knocking the breath out of them. Russ regained himself before getting slammed hard into the wall be a strange wave of magic.

"You want to challenge me, you mangy mutt? I'll give you no mercy."

Russ got to his feet in time to see a ball of lighting screaming towards him. He reached behind pulling out his dagger and cutting the ball in half.

"You just signed your death warrant," Russ growled angrily.

**************

Dan hit the wall with a grunt as he held his side in pain. He knew at least one or two ribs were bruised as a trail of blood came down his head.

"You've gotten better," Baxtor panted out.

His white fur showed the bruises Dan gave him along with the blood coming out the side of his mouth and nose.

"To think I had a thing for you back then. I guess fate played us a cruel hand."

Dan chuckled before standing straight with some pain.

"Life can be cruel. Shall we finish out dance?"

"Yes, lets." Baxtor smiled.

*************

Russ cut through another lighting ball as he charged towards Jay. He reared back as the blade got covered in flame and came down hard. Jay reached up with the gauntlet and blocked it as a power struggle commenced. Sparks of magic could be seen flying everywhere as Russ bared down harder, rage in his eyes.

"Shit, I have to do something and fast." Jay said on one knee.

His free hand was on the ground as he felt sand. Grabbing a handful, he tossed it in Russ's face making him yelp as he closed his eyes.

"Your mine," Jay shouted.

Jay got up and putting all the magic into the gauntlet, he hurled a ball of lighting at Russ. It connected with a loud yelp from Russ as he got flung backwards into the wall, hitting an exposed pipe that was jagged at the end as it pierced his left shoulder. He held his shoulder as he whimpered in pain.

"Think I put to much into that one," Jay said as the gauntlet on his hand shattered.

Russ got up on one knee, eyes burning and left arm in pain. Jay laughed as he looked at him.

"Ahh, did the poor puppy hurt himself? Don't worry, Jay will make it all better."

Jay walked up as Russell swung blindly with his good arm. He let out a grunt as he took a strong blow to the stomach before getting struck to the ground.

"Where are you swinging at little puppy? I'm right here," Jay said striking Russ again to the floor.

Russ let out a small whimper before coughing up blood.

"Dammit my eyes," Russ said to himself. "Need to rely on my hearing now and hope I get lucky."

Jay stopped walking as he noticed Russ's ears move around.

"Trying to use your hearing huh? Let's have some fun with that." Jay said to himself.

He picked up a small pebble and tossed it against the pipe. Russ's ears perked as he struck the pipe, cutting it in half. Jay smiled as he played tagged with him until he got bored.

"Shall we finish this little puppy?" Jay said floating off the ground a little.

Russ let out a growl before a whine as he tried opening his eyes but couldn't.

"Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Lighting. Head my call and come to my aid. Destroy my enemies in a blaze of glory."

Five different colored balls of energy, each representing a different element, formed around Jay's body.

"Energy Spheres."

Russ's ears perked up as he stood up and took off running. Jay laughed as he watched Russ head on towards them.

"You really want to do die huh puppy?"

"Energy Shield," Russ shouted.

A wall of rainbow colors surround him Jay's attacks exploded on contact.

"Impossible," Jay shouted as he held his arms out. "Arc Lighting."

Waves of lighting shot forth as Russ which he deflected easily with his sword.

"DIE!!" he snarled.

With an extra burst of speed, he lunged forward, driving his sword into Jay's chest. He felt the drops of blood fall on his head as Jay gagged.

"It wasn't suppose......to be.......like this."

"Rot in hell you suck fuck," Russ growled pulling out his sword.

Jay stumbled backwards, blood flowing like a river out his chest.

"My..........poor.........children," Jay gagged before falling backwards, blood pooling around his body.

Russ let out a whine before going to both knees out of breath, holding his arm as blood rushed out.

"Russell?"

His ears perked up at the sound of his name.

"Russell!!? Where are you?"

"Angel?" Russ said.

Angel appeared overhead and let out a gasp as she saw Russ.

"Russell!!"

She jumped down and hugged him tight making him grunt. She let go noticing he had his eyes closed.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

"That bastard threw sand in them."

"Hang on."

Angel's hand glowed yellow as she touched his eyes, clearing them of the sand as he opened his eyes and smiled.

"You never looked more beautiful," he murred.

"Mushy wolf," Angel chuckled.

"I also wanted to apologize for........"

She couldn't finish as Angel kissed him deeply. She broke off as they both panted for air.

"Make it up to me later. Right now the only thing I care about, is getting you out of here."

"Are the kids safe?"

"Yeah. All the kids are in hospital being looked over with their parents. Also the mind control is gone."

"Great. Let's get out of here," Russ said getting up with a little help from Angel.

He took one last look at Jay before he and Angel left.

****************

Rick sat in his room looking over the papers. He let out a sigh as he sat back in his chair. He felt two hands lift his chin up before two lips met his.

"Still studying teddy bear?" Avhi asked.

"Yeah."

"Are you getting any closer?"

"I don't know. Everytime I find a lead, it comes to a dead end."

Avhi kissed the tip of his nose before getting up.

"You'll find what you are looking for. Don't give up teddy bear. Don't forget to eat the food I bought you. See you tomorrow."

Avhi closed the door as Rick sat there. He tossed the paper on the table before laying down on the bed. He hugged the pillow close as a tear fell from his eye.

**************

"Ouch. Dammit Emily be careful." Dan said.

"Well stop moving so much," Emily said wrapping him up.

Russ and Angel chuckled as a knock came at the door. George walked in all smiles.

"Good job you four."

"Thanks chief," they all said.

"The worst child molester is off the street and all the stolen stuff is being returned to their owners."

"Did you find Baxtor?" Dan asked.

"Yeah. He had a message he wanted me to give you. He said, if he ever drops the soap, he hopes you'll be around to take advantage."

Everybody looked at Dan who chuckled.

"Daniel, you didn't......." Russ said.

"It was only once and we were both horny."

"That's......." Emily started.

Dan cut her off with a kiss.

"Relax baby, your all I need now and forever."

Emily blushed before kissing him again as everybody chuckled.

"Anyway, I want your reports on my desk." Irons said turning to leave.

"Yes sir," they all said.

Russ let out a grunt as he stood up.

"I'm going to bed. I'm tired as hell."

"Same," Dan said.

Everybody said their goodnight as Russ laid down, Angel holding him.

"You really scared me today. I never saw you like that before."

"I'm sorry. But people like him really get to me."

"Did you get the gauntlet?"

"He destroyed it by applying to much magic. It was old after all."

"Oh well. I'll tell Merlin tomorrow. Right now, lets get some sleep."

"Agreed," Russ said letting out a yawn and snuggled closer to Angel.
