It was a bright and sunny day in Firewall City. Officers Mike and Liam Bullworth had just gotten off of their shift and decided to stop on the way home to get some hot wings at Fyrehause Cafe, downtown. No sooner had they sat down and ordered their wings than Liam pointed out a bright red '69 Mustang pulling up to the curb. The cops were intrigued by this flashy vehicle, and even more so when the driver and his passenger got out; they looked as though they had come straight out of the desert. When the wolf and his partner entered the cafe, Mike looked around; the place was pretty packed for the time of day.
"Hey!" the Pit Bull called out, "C'mon and sit with us!"
"Really...?" asked the older wolf, "You don't mind?"
"Not at all!" said Liam, "We'd love the company." The older wolf looked down at his partner, who simply shrugged. Then the two of them came over and sat in the booth. "Welcome to Firewall City!" said Liam, "You're gonna love it here."
"Thanks..." said the young red wolf, "We just got into town. We're on our way to the Firewall City Car Festival and Drag Tournament."
"No jive, Clive?" asked Liam, "That's cool!"
"Actually... my name's not Clive;" said the red wolf, "I'm Ashton, and this is my friend, Zach. But I just call him Zippy"
"Nice to meet you guys!" said Liam, "I'm Liam, and this is my dad, Mike."
"Pleasure to meet you too;" said Zippy, "By the way... that your car out there?"
"It sure is!" said Mike, glancing, proudly, at the customized off-road vehicle that sat on the street, "She's called the Impact Weapon; and she's the fastest, strongest cop cruiser in Firewall City."
"Hmmm..." said Zippy, "Looks fast enough; but she's far too heavy. I'm a semi-pro rally racer, and that's my baby, the Red Duster. She'll eat any competition for breakfast!"
"Really...?" asked Mike, "That's all well and good. I just hope you boys stick to the speed limits while you're in our town."
"Yeah;" said Liam, "We don't wanna see any bumper-thumpers before the big drag meet this Saturday."
"By the way," said Ashton, "Your car looks pretty fast; are you guys gonna be in the drag tournament?"
"As a matter of fact, we are!" said Liam.
"Well, that's just great!" said Zippy, "Maybe we'll run into each other at the races."
"With a bit of luck," said Mike, "We may even end up racing each other."
"What'll it be, Boys?" asked the waitress as she came by.
"Buffalo wings and root beers all around;" said Mike, "On me!"
"Uh... I'll have an orange juice, please!" said Ashton.
"Coming right up!" said the waitress. Zippy looked to Mike in surprise, then broke out in a smile.
"You know..." he said, "You guys are the nicest cops I've ever met."
"It's a pleasure, Zippy;" said Mike, "Just doing our best to protect and serve this fine city."
