Setting
A large and imposing structure, the Wing City Police Department is a building designed to resist what the city has to offer. Fitted with security systems designed to combat mages, psionics, teleporters and phasers alike, nobody could ever accuse the WCPD of being unprepared. Alongside the regular offices, training areas and public areas you would expect in a police station, Wing City's department is fitted with a large bunker and armoury.
Armed guards have a notable presence around the building, many of whom are more than human themselves, and all of whom are equipped with specialist weaponry and protection designed for the environment they work in.
The building itself is heavily reinforced. The brand new reinforced metal doors leading into the building can be locked down with heavy shielding and blast resistance. Turrets, deployable cover and multiple checkpoints with similar defenses internally are spread throughout the building.
"We have reason to believe that this isn't going to be the first time someone is sent for you." she said, taking a deep breath and sighing. Children were her soft point, and she felt for the young Jack Carver.
"Which is why we collected you, Jack. We want to protect you, and find out who is doing all of this."
"I don't suppose you know who they are, so that...." he began, but he restrained himself a bit, and said "...you can arrest them...". Something was off with him. And he could tell it as well.
Thats when he asked, wondering "What time is it exactly?". He had no clue what time it was, he just knew it was hungry. The sun was setting, but he could not know it.
He then added "What do you mean 'protect'?". He legitimately did not know how that might work. It made him curious.
She refocussed with his question, though. "We'd have someone assigned to be with you, especially because you're young. If we have you watched, whomever's responsible may be less inclined to try to attack again. That doesn't mean they absolutely won't try though, so we have to be prepared."
She hesitated. "Are you...feeling alright?"
Too bad they died before they could. Because now, he realized he wasn't only cryign from emotional pain...it was a bit of physical pain he felt.
From the Full Moon.
Poor Jack. It was not his week.
"Come on out of there for a second, if you could. There's something we need to show you."
Casey turned apologetically back to Jack, her lips thinned. "We'll get you something to eat, okay? Just sit tight for me."
Rising, she turned to go to the door.
He collapsed on the ground. If you saw him before, you would not guess he was a werewolf. He seemingly had no fat on him, and was possibly anorexic from how thin he was.
Of course, now, he was beginning to change into a werewolf. SO I guess looks can be deceptive. He barely managed to croak out "Whatt...is going on....so hungry...".
"Can I get a medic?!" she called, loudly too. Hands reached for her, pulling her out of the room to safety. "Someone has to help him!" she insisted. Her experience with actively changing lupines was minimal, at best.
"They'll get bitten. We'll need to sedate him." One of the officers told her. "Can we pass that along to the medic when he comes?"
The message was relayed. It wouldn't be long before better help would arrive.
Jack had no control now. Or at least, minimal control, at best. It was looking at her, the beast. And, as Jack said before, it was hungry.
Very. Hungry.
However, on a side note, at least Jack had technically warned her to some extent.
"So, who wants to dog-sit for the evening until Jack manages to calm down?"
The squad looked from one to the other, uncertain.
Thats when a voice could be heard from inside. "Uhh......what happened......and...DON'T COME IN!". He said, with shock, fear, and embarrassment rolled into one.
He was not ready for his first transformation. Or its...results.
She heaved a sigh, and made her way towards the interrogation room, where a few of the officers stood around with morning coffee.
"Morning, Chief." the majority of them greeted. She half smiled, then looked to the observation window.
"Huh."
The room was completely decimated, and nothing was really in tact, except the metal table, which had been overturned, and Jack was using to stay out of view. A random generic officer entered the room the Chief was in, and went towards her. "Uh, ma'am. Well, I sort of figured, since he is a werewolf and all...well, he might need these...". He held up a clean set of clothes. "I just thought someone should handle that...".
Jack then also asked "Ummm....I have a problem...is anyone there?"
"Let me know when you're ready!" she called to the young man in question. Her lips were downturned in thought.
"This is nuts." she said plainly, making sure Jack couldn't hear.
"That is going to take ages to clean up."
"Are we funded for this sort of thing?" someone asked.
"I don't know that there's such a thing as werewolve's insurance." Replied another.
And then he asked "And....does anyone have any food? I am REALLY hungry...."
One of the officers outside added "I wouldn't be surprised if there was Werewolf Insurance..."
"Still feeling like you're going to tear the rest of my department apart?" she asked, her eyes sympathetic.
He looked at her, and then mentioned "Also, did I hear something about insurance? Sorry, my ears feel strange...a lot of me feels strange.....I feel different...off....".
"I know this great diner that serves all you can eat breakfast specials." she told him, ignoring the surprised noises that came from behind the door.
"What say I treat you, okay? And we can talk a little bit. Get to know each other."
He was not mentioning the fact he felt like eating the nearest person. That conversation, he felt, would be better to never come up. Ever. Also, he would prefer not to kill anyone.
"Anyways, I don't think I got your name?" he asked, curious now.
"So," she began, guiding him along. "What brought you to the hospital the other night? I took a glance through your records and saw it was some kind of animal bite."
"Yeah, a few nights ago, I was walking home, when this crazy hungry dog came out of nowhere and bit me. At least, I thought it was a dog. I suppose that was wrong, wasn't it?"
He then said "Casey is a nice name". He was trying to make smalltalk. He found the whole situation quite embarrassing.
"I don't think it was a normal dog either, Jack." she said.
He then added "Wait...is this why....is this why they came after me?"
"It's possible." she said carefully. "But, there could be other reasons too. The only thing we can find in common with your case and the others is the hospital."
She sighed, climbing into the car with him and pulling away from the curb.
"Unfortunately, I don't know enough about werewolves to get you...educated, but I can try to find someone who might be able to answer your questions." she added.
He then also asked "I don't suppose you know anything about my attackers, do you? From those two that....that died trying to take me....".
He then added "Well, I hope it was just them..." That was about the last thing he actually believed. And he doubted the police thought so either.
