A.P.D Chapter 1= Eric Mann and memories

06:45

Eric Mann was pissed off as usually despite being 16 he took a long drag on cigarette. He had Dark Brown hair that was done into a finge, he was fit, intelligent and had a hamsome face. But he knew that all of that wouldn't help if the Head Officer would have seen him like this and Eric knew that if The Head Officer had seen him he would have had Eric hung if he saw him with the cigarette, The Head Officer of the A.P.D (Anthropomorphic Police Department) or in Eric's case the L.A.P.D (London Anthropomorphic Police Department) He was on patrol in Piccadilly Circus his cap fixed on his head with the golden insignia of a Human and an Anthro hand shaking within the circle and underneath it was the four letters L.A.P.D

"Life WAS great..........for a second then......All Tits up" He spoke into the radio
"You can't keep on beating yourself up over what happened 3 years ago" Spoke Link Handrez, Despite his last name he was born in Zurich, Germany and had a 13 dusted a drugs sale at his High School, but for that he had nearly been gunned down Potsdamer Platz he had only been hit 7 times and would have nearly died if there wasn't a police man on patrol.
"I guess you're right......it was............I.....I felt like my life had a meaning when *sigh* she was still with me" Eric confessed
"You mean Ruby" said Link.

Rudy Hearts was an anthro with red skin and hair and so was her mane. He had meet her when he went to Southend High, A British secondary school which was different for the fact that it wasn't called a secondary school but a High school and always looked modern and was high in its education in all of Essex's. She was being abused because she was an Anthro he had seen her one day walking into school and had seen her on her knees crying she had been waring a skirt and a normal polo shirt that all of the school kids at the High had to ware he had walked over to her and give out his hand.

"Are you alright" Eric had said she had looked up and cuddled her shoulder bag

"Why should you care HUMAN why dont you just kick me right here right now"

"Why would I do that?" He remembered he had unzipped his shoulder bag and pulled out a tissue

"You care for me?...But Im an Anthro"

"So what difference dose that make I mean isn't an Anthro half human half pony?"

"well I um" Ruby had said

"I dont see why anyone would want to hit a beautiful thing like you" he had with the back of his hand had stroked her cheek she had smiled then smiled with her mouth open and winked at him. She had giggled and that giggle had made her more attractive. up until year 11 they would be friends and made more form the deviance they both gave. He remembered that one day they had walked down the corridor holding hands, smiling he remembered all of the boys and girls looking at them with surprise and shock some had even praised them and he even got more friends that way well they where Anthro's.

BUT JAKE he would never forget. He hopped sometimes that when he was on patrol he would meet Jake doing illegal activity so Eric could bash his head in and throw him behind bars or even better have him deported to Gibraltar Coast (a high Prison guarded by the S.A.S) BUT JAKE was a born psycho and even his friends who where even drug addicts or fat Eric remembered one day he was walking down the hallway when Jake and his GANG had rolled around the corner he had been forced to repeat the year for 3 times he remembered.

"So you must be the boy who saduced that Anthro whore"

"She's more that a whore" that had landed him a smack on the back of the head

"Well I wouldn't blame you.............now listen I think you look like a good guy so" Jake had gave him a truncheon, Night Black

"All you got to do is just tough her up" Eric had looked at the truncheon he then turned it over then looked at Jake

"NA" and throw the truncheon to a bin which went into the bin with an expert thrown "Oh you didnt want to do that" Jake hand punched him hard in the stomach Eric hand fallen to the floor and vomited blood

"I'll teach you to throw my truncheon away" they had given him a beating like hell and left him with a truncheon scar on his cheek and bleeding, His white polo shirt turning crimson red his nose bleeding, his mouth bleeding blood he was on the verge of blacking out but he was able to hear a bunch of voices then a cry

" ERIC!","My god is he alright" then running feet and saw Ruby's face in-front of him and saw an orange face with brown hair another anthro called Steal Shields and a human face another boy called Karl Anderson

"My god Eric are you ok?" Ruby had said and Eric remembered seeing tears in her eyes

"Hay buddy hang in there I'll get the nurse and doctor" Steal Shields had then disappeared down the corridor. Eric remembered blacking out but not before he had heard Ruby yell her name then when he woke up he had been in a hospital bed with a doctor's face with his sharp glasses and Ruby's face.

"Ah you're awake that was quite a beating you took but you will be we'll in a couple of weeks" the doctor said "Look I'll leave you with Miss Ruby here and I'm sorry but in 4 minutes a police officer will want an enquire but until then I'll leave you with Miss Ruby here"

The way she had sat reminded him of an Anime girl her hands between her legs but a symbol of beauty
"Jake" she had said when he told her what happened "that psychopath he was the guy who abused me outside the school"

"Thats when I met you" Eric reminded her

"Yes......you did" Ruby had gotten close to her her breasts touching his arm. So warm and soft and her smile was on her face her smile that invited you to kiss and those Ruby like eyes how piercing they where.

"Um Eric...I have a confession" Ruby had said

"Yes Ruby" Eric replied

"We've been friends for the past years and I........I have to be honest....I......I love you" Eric repeated the words in his head "I love you" he looked at her then painfully sat up

"Eric? you ok?" Eric looked at her then pulled her towards her with her tie and kissed her soft lips.

Eric missed those lips. In what was called 'Fortress Talk' he was a Scout but a depressed one and one who was in no mood to be facetious. His mood was the mixture of two things one was remembering Ruby and the second was for some of the things he had seen during his time with the A.P.D

For instance his first assignments with the A.P.D had been simple patrol's and drug dusts but when or after he faked his death and Ruby left him things went sour. Last week he was on patrol and heard a scream form an ally he had ran down it to see four grown men abusing a defenceless Anthro. What kind of abuse you may ask well Eric wasn't going to say all he just said to people was "What do think" the people who did spent the next minute wiping away the saliva form there vomit.

Eric's worst time with the A.P.D had been in SoHo (London's red light district) and a key point for Anthro-Crime. There had been reports of a large amounts of Anthro males and females going into a club but never coming out (Ages 16-20) the A.P.D had responded with three tactical support units, normal police and 1 riot team the raid had gone well. But when Eric entered a massive room his heart had stopped. In cages and sometimes chained to beds where the missing anthro's, full naked. Eric had removed his helmet and goggles and lowered his FN FAL he looked at all those faces. Those crying faces. He knew that they had been sexually abused and or physically abused for instance one anthro male had his eyes sowed shut and a female had her tongue cut out.

The images of those sowed up eyes and that cut off tongue had left Eric for 4 weeks in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which is an anxiety disorder. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a common case with members of the Armed forces mainly the Army and or for people who for instance has just killed someone. He had returned to his apartment in the rain he had tried to watch some TV to put his mind of it but through out the documentary he kept seeing those eyes and the mouth which had not tongue but bleeding. When it came to the news the BBC reported first on the situation in Iraq. Apparently the British forces alone with Iraq forces had scored a victory against the Iran army then a report on the UK's economy then the last story was about the raid he had just been apart of. That had made him snap and pick up his guitar and smash his TV and then throw the broken Guitar out of the window. He had then stepped over to the broken window and placed his had against the support cutting his hand in the process and yelled at the people below. When he had stat back down he passed out and then he remembered waking up and not being able to move the room all in white and then " OH JUST FORGET IT!" Eric yelled then stopped looked around and saw people staring at him he looked back then headed back to his car "Bravo CS1 come in Bravo CS1" it was command he picked up the radio form inside the car and responded with "Yes", "Bravo Head Officer Gazz needs to see you do you respond report back to base"
"Roger that" he switched on his sirens and sped back to base. Heavy hearted.
