Terran and his officers vaulted over the car and continued to give chase, closing the distance between themselves and their fleeing query. Tom ducked into an alleyway and ran until he met a dead end, looking left and then right he found an old locked door, rearing back and kicking the door he heard the door splinter, kicking the door again he broke it in and disappeared through the open doorway.
Terran turned the corner just in time to watch Tom's leg disappear through the doorway. "Get after him!" He barked as several officers followed the stray human into the building. "I don't care if he is the 'Shadow Ghost', he will not escape today."
Tom found himself stumbling through a bar. Moving through around and even over, drunk anthros. The anthro behind the bar grabbed him by the arm when he passed by, looking up, tom found it was a fox who had grabbed his wrist. A cigarette poked out of of the front of her lips and black hair framed her face as she gave the human a cool and even stare. "You don't belong here hun," She stated, "It'd bother my conscience if somethin' were to happen to ya in here, now get outta here before someone worse than me finds ya."
"Too late for that," Tom replied with a dark sullen tone as he looked towards the back hallway he had come in through.
The fox turned to follow his gaze and caught a glimpse of the first German Shepherd that had followed the human into the bar before she grabbed Tom by the front of his shirt and cloak and pulled him over and behind the bar. Tom fell to the ground with a thud before the denim clad leg of the fox swept him under the bar top next to several different kinds of liquors. The fox then turned her attention to the police, "Can I help you boys?" She asked.
"Yes ma'am, looking for a stray human... we saw him enter this establishment and we're conducting a search," The lead officer replied.
The fox shrugged, "Cant say I saw any strays come through here, just you boys. Which reminds me, how did y'all get in here. That door in the back is always locked... 'less we're takin' the garbage out."
"We believe he broke the door down and came in here to hide," The officer replied.
The fox shrugged, "Like I said, haven't seen any stray humans come through here. Just y'all, which means that I'll have to assume YOU boys broke that door. And since YOU broke the door and entered our humble little bar here I'll assume you have the proper warrant for doing so?"
"W-well actually we didn't have a Warrant to-"
"No?" The fox interrupted, "Well the in that case we might have to take this to court.... or y'all could get out of my bar and I'll send you a bill for the damages and we can call it even." Not seeing any other alternative the police were forced to take the offer and leave empty handed.
