A time and place (wip)



Time seemed to freeze for a moment as a Husky, Tiger and a Clydesdale all sat next to him. "You think she really cared?" The tiger growled, with tears rolling down Husian the husky's face. "No, it wasn't just her mother but her too!" Ludo the tiger continued shaking but held himself back as both his eyes glowed. "Don't tell me you think it wasn't her.. TELL ME, HUH. WHO ELSE WAS IT?! WHO?!" 
(Name) "I know, you don't think I know?! we all knew it was going to happen anyway. But here we went just to see our daughter. We knew the consiquionses, we were going to get in trouble anyway regardless..." Fuego the Clydesdale chimed in. "That's not how you say that word." (Name) huffed, "Shut up, Fuego I know that's not how you say it it's how I say it.. thanks thou, I'll try to say it right the next time." Fuego scoffed, "Ha, maybe don't worry about it. Speaking problems is what we do best." (Name) took a deep breath and it was silent before (name) looked up at the officer as time seemed to continue. "So you couldn't help yourself?" the officer asked. "No, I can handle myself I know when to continue and when to stop.. Can you sir? Once she said stop I stopped." His eyes narrowed before sipping come of the drink given to him. "So you didn't get off and only she did? come on you didn't get off? go another round?" The officer continued giving a crooked smile, with a friendly front. My eyes stared at him, "I don't have to get off, I can get myself off just as good. it's not about getting off if your into it for that then you need to find some help." Hus had spoken up, taken over for a moment before putting the finished cup down onto the table. "So no I did not go for round two.. I left afterwards, I just arrived back to my hotel room and was going to bed. so now it's almost time for me to go to work." Hus staring directly into the officers eyes, "Oh and where do you work at?" the officer reached over grabbing his pen and began to write on the note pad on the table. "Laborer ready." Soon as the name of the business was said the pen was placed back in the officers pocket without writing it down. "Oh, You work there huh?" The officer stared back into Hus's eyes. "Yes, is that a problem? Am I being detained or kept, cause I need to go to work." The officer looked away some and shook his head, "Hold on a minute and we'll see.." The officer left the room, as the door closed time froze. "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Hus that was awesome!!" (Name) Jumped into the air as Hus sat in the chair thinking to himself as he took a deep breath, "Urgh why does this always happen to us?!" All shrugged a bit as (name) walked around and stretched a bit. The tiger was angrily pacing the room, as he held his chest some. "Hey.. You okay.. calm down bud you're going to give yourself a heart attack." The tiger snapped around, "And how can you be so calm huh? this is happening to you all as well.. all of us just went through that.. why aren't you angry? why aren't you sad?.. am I the only one that's hurting?" Hus looked down at the cup on the table, frowned as a single tear ran down his face. "If they find out they had a restraining order against us, and now they accuse us of ra-.. rape?.. we'll never see our daughter again.. We knew we all knew something like this was going to happen. but if that's the last time we got to see her.. Then I will make sure that memory never goes away.. even if that one moment we got to see her.. she was walking talking her jibber jabber.. she got so mad to see us go.. she's our baby and will always be. You know as well as the rest of us she will be grown up and told we are evil and never come around us we will just kidnap her and we are bad people.." Tears were rolling down each cheek as Hus was talking, he was trying very hard to hold back his tears. "We all know this Ludo, but we got to keep this memory of our last time seeing our daughter.. we're not good with the memories but we got to try.. please each of us has to keep this in our minds.. One us remember.." Fuego scoffed and sniffled a bit. "Yeah.. easier said than done you know that.. but we will all do our part to remember." They all nodded, drying their eyes and sighed softly. Time was started with a deep breath from Hus as he looked around the room looking at the infamous mirror that was a two way mirror. Thinking of who could be or couldn't be behind the mirror before looking at his empty cup. "Empty." lifting the cup some saying softly to himself. The door opened a moment later, "Alright your free to go." Blinking a bit. "Huh? oh okay." Standing up from the chair and rubbed his back with a pop. "Ow.." The officer began leading the way outside. "Anything I need to do?" Hus asked, "Hm? Nope your free to go we aren't holding you so we are letting you go." Hus raised his brow, "Oh, okay." Walking to a door as the officer opened it up for Hus. "Have a good day." Hus looked at him and smiled softly. "Thank you, you too have a nice day." He said tiredly before walking out the door. It was the side of the police station, looking around remembering where he was. Placing his paws in his pocket and began walking down the street as the officer closed the door and walked away back into the police station. A block away he stretched some with a more tired yawn coming from his mouth. "..No, sir I'm sorry we can't give you a ride back to your home.. it is a inconvenious..." Hus began talking as the others were walking beside him, "That's not how you say it." Hus said to Fuego, "Yeah I know haha maybe I'll say it right next time." Chuckling softly to each other as they were all smiles happy to have not been put into jail or worse. Over joyed that they get another chance to make things right. "So we going to work or sleep?" Stopping for a moment as the body continued, a map popped up below them as they walked around so they all could see. "Hmm.. well we are here so lets go this way?" Ludo gesturing the path, Hus shook his head. "No how about this way it will be a bit longer but we can maybe swing by and change our clothes first." Glancing down at their clothing. "Ah, yeah well while we are their why don't we grab something to eat maybe.. make something in the fridge?" Fuego asked, "Well we only have that cookie batter stuff we were saving to make cookies with for a treat." Ludo nodded some but shrugged his shoulders. "True but we.. need that to last us too." Hus pointed out before they all went silent before nodding looking down some before the map closed and they began walking again heading back to the hotel room. The chill of the morning air blew across their bodies, "Maybe a shower.. I feel disgusting." nodding to himself, as did everyone else resting his right hand upon his stomach as he walked. Heading over the bridge turning to look at the sky changing, bringing a soft smile to his face when a warm beam of light touched his face. "Maybe this was the worse of it.. it can only get better from now on right?" Walking over the bridge as the wood creaked and groaned over the weight. His hand gripping his loose body fat, "Still fat ha.. starving ourselves each day and working hard and we're still a fat mess haha." chuckling a bit to himself trying to smile a bit at the irony. A light chuckle came out, coming over the bridge. Shortly after they arrived at the hotel two older couple with homemade lawn chairs sat out on the balcony. "You're coming home early!.. Or should I say late.." the couple chuckled some. "Oh you know.. wondering around couldn't sleep hah you know being young and wild" He chuckled replying back, as they all laughed a bit. "Oh back when I was your age." the older man started talking before the other giggled. Telling stories of young male roaming of his own before meting the one he was with now. It began a fight with words as they bickered a bit. "Alright heh well you two behave yourselves." almost in unison, "Not if we can help it!" laughing softly before walking into our room. Closing the door as everyone collapses on the beds with a groan. Laying there as they rested their bodies for a moment their eyes still open and looking up at the ceiling. "Well.. Who wants to work today?" Laying quiet before each of them began undressing and taking turns showering. "We all are.. we got to." Hus sighing heavily as he struggled a bit to get up from the bed. "Alright well lets go." collapsing on the floor as he held his chest. "Hus?.. oh hey hey hey." Fuego and ludo hurried over with (name) coming out of the shower. "It's okay.. I'm okay shhh shhhh shh" Hus slowly exhaling to try and stay calm. "Hey Hus come on man." Hus laid there clutching his chest, "we just going to bottle up everything aren't we?" Ludo nodded some, "Yeah.. we can't do anything about it.. it happened and we got to keep surviving.. remember you keep saying its an experience good or bad it happened.. but what we do after is what counts.. stand tall or let it knock you down." Hus interrupted and chuckled weezingly, "Even if you get knocked down, you can always get back up." coughing some and began to chuckle a bit slowly getting up to his feet with the others help. "Come on.. rest you deserve it." Fuego said as Hus laughed softly, "Uh oh got mister muscle worrying about me. hell no I'm not going to let you boys run wild without me.. I can still run with you" Fuego snickered, "We haven't run in ages old man.. we'd probably drop not even a mile haha." laughing some as Hus was being helped into the shower. "You need any help in their old man?" Fuego asked looking at the shower door. "No, thank you. I can still manage. and Thank you for your concern." Hus said while washing himself. Fuego walked away from the door and back in line. "Alright just checking." time went on before all the guys were cleaned and clothing were put on. Looking at the fridge, there was smell of bbq food being cooked coming from the outside. Holding his stomach a bit, before mixing in a small cup what he could find in the fridge stirring it up with a plastic spoon. Adding in a small bit of bbq sauce. "This will have to do for now." each of them had a cup of mix and a spoon. "I know its not much guys.. but its what we have.." Ludo stirring his a bit more as they all stared at their cup, before taking a bit out of it and slowly began eating. "Taste ok.. not the best tasting but we are doing our best." each of them raised their cup and continued eating slowly savoring the taste of each bite. Hus chuckled some. "Some of mine has chunky bits in it." chuckling as they all began to laugh. "Mine does too haha" Chewing and swallowing before shaking a bit getting warm and pumped up for the walk to work. "Alright everyone done? good here we go." Having changed into his work attire and headed out of the hotel room locking and closing the door behind him. Walking past the couple grilling on the balcony, "Hey!" Looking up and smiled. "Hey!" smiling with a wave. "Out all night and leaving so soon? Come on up here we have some some we're going to have a party all day today!" He smiled happily as he waved and nodded. "I would love to but w- I gotta go to work.. someone gotta make that money." They both seemed to awe. "Alright. Honey you come back soon okay? And we'll have some for you." He smiled and waved before jogging down the street. Talking to himself, "If I stay for food.. I won't have any money for rent.. or food. Thank you for the offer but.. I need money for rent." Everyone was whinning about the food slowing down and walking the rest of the way to work. Reaching into the back pocket, looking through the wallet, "I have enough for.." looking hard at the money which was only a few dollars and a couple of cents. ".. we got to get something that will last us through the day or at least.. until we get paid tonight/ tomorrow." (Name) said while looking at the wallet, "Food now or later? drinks now or later?" Everyone seemed to walk around him and continued onto work. "Yeah.. Later will work." (Name) said while walking to catch up with everyone else. it was silent the rest of the way. Arriving at laborer ready, walking inside and signed in at the front desk. There was a bit of a line around the front desk talking about the weather, and the work they were given yesterday. Staying out of the way and grabbing a cup and began pouring himself some coffee and poured in a bit of sugar. Placing the pot back hearing their name being called. It was the head boss a short, stocky middle aged pony with a mouth like a sailor and a humor of a farmer. "Hm? What's up?" He called out, "Got a job for yeah if you take it the others have vehicles and can drive you if you have gas money." A black and brown great dane turned around, looking down at him, "You keep up or get left behind got me?" Looking up at him and nodded, "I can keep up no prob here. Can you?" The great dane smirked, "Alright you can ride with me." We smiled softly as two more had been chosen to go along. The job was a moving a client from one place to another. "Moving job, huh? That's simple enough." Getting the address as everyone headed out. "Hey you can drive, right?" The great dane asked, while walking out to his car. "Drive? Well yeah I got my license. Why need me to drive?" The great dane thought for a moment, "You been in any wrecks?" He asked. as he shook his head. "Alright, show us you can drive this?" The great dane stopped at the passanger side of a car, looking at it almost nervous to get inside. "Drive this?" Asking while opening up the driverside door. "What you don't like it? or can't you drive?" Raising his brow some before slipping into the car looking at everything seemed so new and shinned like it was taken care of almost mint condition. "Oh well yeah I can drive, but You sure you want someone else driving such a fine ride?" Looking at the inside of the car, "Look I'll be real with you I kinda have a thing with my license so.. right now yes, don't fuck up my ride is all I'm saying." Shaking his head, "Oh hell no don't you worry haha I won't I may be rough wit the ladies but I'll be gentle with this one." The great dane burst out laughing holding out his paw, "Call me Dt." Reaching over and shaking his paw before fist bumping. "Alright, Dt call me Ludo" D raised a brow some and made a "psh." sound before handing over the keys. Taking the keys and put them in ignition starting up the car as it roared out the stereo blaring with heavy bass. Dt's hand reached over turning down the volume some, "You listen to rap?" Ludo shrugged his shoulders some, "Yeah some. But whatever has a good beat to it." Dt nodded turning it back up and buckled up as did Ludo. Driving casually out of the driveway and down the highway, Ludo looked over at Dt watching him out the corner of his eye. Noticing he was relaxing over at the door, before glancing at the dashboard before leaning back with a heavy sigh. "I thought you said you knew how to drive." Dt asked, "I don't want to ruin your ride, taking her nice and easy. but if you insist, that your in a hurry glad your buckled." His foot went to the floor and began weaving in and out of traffic leaning his head against his paw taking sharp turns and almost running red lights to get to their destination. Once they arrived at the job site the music was turned off and parked along the sidewalk. He sat up and unbuckled getting out of the car giving Dt back his keys. Dt coming out of his car almost in a rage, "That's how you fucking drive.. You got me, you drive like that shit. dam boy." Looking over at Dt and smiled softly, "I was just being gentle with her." Dt walked around the car with a big grin. "You into those nasty bitches huh? mm You find any you don't want send them my way." His tongue came out a bit with a large smirk across his face. "Ha, I don't think you want what I break." Dt's face light up, "OOoo you something dirty freaky aren't ya.."  Dt's tone came serious for a moment "After this job, I might need your help with some stuff if your interested." Walking with DT towards the house, "Oh yeah?.. Okay." Both of us reached the front door as we both noticed the moving truck. "I guess I'll be driving. where are the other two?" Ludo looked down at his watch. "Well we are here on time.. early by 5 minutes." Dt scoffed, Ludo reached over and began to knock on the door before the garage door began opening up. Both of us leaned over to look, It was a youthful (animal) male in a suit walking out from the garage. "Excuse me, were from Laborer ready.. you cal-" Ludo was interrupted by the (animal). "I have to leave for work, I believe they gave you the address where you will be dropping this truck off. You are getting paid by the hour, and I will not pay for your lunches you do that when the jobs done." The great dane eye twitched a bit as Ludo nodded, "Oh of course sir no need to worry everything will arrive safely you have my word." Standing up straight with a soft smile. The (animal) somewhat smiled but quickly walked away to their car and drove off with the garage wide open. Ludo looked out at the neighborhood, "I guess we'll be doing it ourselves if the other guys don't get here.." Dt grumbled cursing about the way () was talking to us, "Yeah but we won't see him after this job so... why don't we just do this quickly." Dt scoffed and opened up the back of the truck. Ludo grabbed the loading ramps down, "You able to do that yourself?" Ludo looked up at Dt at the back of the truck and laughed. "I got this!" Pulling the ramps out and placing them onto the back of the truck. "Boom see done." Dt shook his head, "Boy you work too hard." Ludo laughed some as they began loading up the truck. Taking everything labeled Dt limped his way to his car grabbing his back brace and placing it on himself. Panting from the heat, "Woo.. boy it's hot." Ludo was carrying items into the back of the truck glancing over at Dt making sure he was alright. "You doing alright over there?" Dt wiping his forehead with a cloth, "Yeah just taking a break.. come on and take a break it's too hot to work without a break." Ludo placed a box down and sat down in the back of the truck wiping his forehead a bit. "Yeah I know.." talking to himself, "Yeah but were almost done." Ludo got back up and walked back into the garage continued to put things in the back of  the truck. "Fuck.. it hot's boy.." Dt took a drink of some water before getting back up and helped with grabbing the large dresser and placing it into the back of the truck finishing the load. Dt, Ludo both push in a ramp and closed the door locking it with the lock they were given to use. "Alright, Ludo meet you there." Ludo nodded to Dt, "Yeah see ya there.. I'll be folllowing you so." Dt shook his head, "Nah I'm get me something to eat real quick do the same Ludo?" Ludo nodded  "Of course hah getting hungry myself." Dt gestured to the truck, "You sure you know how to drive something like this?" Ludo blinked and laughed, "I got this no worries." Dt then nodded, before heading to his car giving a wave before taking off in his car. Taking a deep breath as Ludo climbed into the large truck. "Well.. the dude that had a license for you isn't here.. sooo I'mma have to drive ya." Looking at all the dials and buttons, ".. what the fuck is all this shit?!" Fuego yelled out each of them stared at the buttons and gauges. "Alright well its a automatic so.. we don't have to shift." a heavy sigh came out turning the key and listened to the engine. "Well we got a job to do so lets just go.." Slowly crawling out of the driveway and began driving it slow up hills and down them. "It's.. alright we got this.. just go slow and steady wins the race.." Glancing down as a paw moved around touching the sides of the chair finding buttons and pushing them one by one. "Alright that does that that does that.. okay." Looking at the dashboard and then put the seat in a more comfortable position. Looking out at all the vehicles on the road. "Wow.. this is so cool." Each eye was darting over everything before noticing a small string above the driver seat. "Is that what I think it is..." Everyones eyes began to glow. "A truck horn.." Watching through the windshield keeping a eye on the road and when to turn. "Must resist.. we can't pull it.. can we?" Everyone stayed silent for a moment before everyone began fighting over who was going to pull the string. Everyone was wrestling around each other and pushing each other out of the way to get to the string. A paw came up and grabbed the string and felt how harsh it felt, but held into it gently and tugged on it. There was silence in the air as everyone froze, out came a loud horn rippling the air in waves. Everyone went back to their seats and smiled softly, "Heh.. one more time." Waiting for a while before tugging on it again as it let out a horn. The car beside weaved a bit in its lane, as Fuego looked down at the car. It had a male tiger female jaguar and a child which had stripes and spots, the car had sped up and turned into their lane. Fuegos eyes went wide, as he sat in the drivers seat. Arms came out of the window giving a fist pumping motion looking closer the child crawled into the back window staring as if they were told something was going to happen. Fuego grew a big smile and pulled on the string, the surprise upon the child's face as the two others seemed to smile and laugh at whatever the child had said as it scurried around the back of the car. Laughing softly having both hands on the wheel, "Ha... I guess we just made that kids day." Fuego smiled happily, "Maybe we made all them happy.. they seem to be anyway." Hus said while sitting next to the other door. They all smiled, but Ludo jumped up some and pointed. "LOO-OK!" Fuego narrowed his eyes noticing the car had moved over so they were next to him. The male tiger was fist pumping with the child on their lap frantically doing the same. Fuego stared for a moment and nodded reaching up noticing the male talking to the child and pointing at the string. Tugging on it a few times as the jaw dropped on the child and a large smile grew on them. The male began laughing with a large smile on their face before driving away, Fuego sat there with a large smile standing up a bit straighter and flexing a bit. "This is so cool.." They all smiled driving happily, "We could do this.. ya know.. truck driving.." Fuego said holding onto the wheel, "Hauling stuff unloading and loading.. we'd always have a place to sleep." Hus and Ludo (name) shook their heads, "That costs money to go to one of their schools to learn to drive." (Name) said before smiling, "But maybe we can afford to someday. Maybe we can drive around the world one day.." (Name) looked out the window and leaned his head back on the cushion of the seat. "We can't drive over oceans yet." Hus chuckled some, "Maybe but one day lets travel around the world and drive everywhere." (Name) said while resting in his seat.
