"GUARDS!"
🕑 Added 2019-02-07 02:48:37 +0000 UTCthe boar bellowed. "GUARDS! I'VE BEEN ROBBED!"
With a clanking and a jingling of chainmail, two fellows with pikes and helms came scurrying down the street.
"What's the trouble, Mr. Little?" the bovine guard asked. "Is this going to take long? I can't let the glue dry yet on my model cart."
"We're not going to have to charge you with disturbing the peace again, are we?" the lupine guard inquired. "My mother, she says -"
"NEVER MIND YOUR MOTHER AND YOUR MODEL," the boar yelled as he angrily gnawed a potato which he pulled out of his cloak. "MY STORE HAS BEEN BURGLED AND THE THIEF IS ABSCONDING WITH A SACK OF BOOKS AND POSSIBLY MY PARTNER AS WELL. DON'T JUST STAND THERE, YOU IDIOTS!! HE'S GETTING AWAY!"
The two guards had barely begun their pursuit, when an elegantly-dressed hawk femme stepped out of a doorway, directly into Jerry's path! The stampeding book thief collided with the noble avian, and they both went down in a tangle of fur and feathers.
The guards rushed up as the femme was dusting herself off.
"Lady Hawk, are you all right?" the bovine guard asked nervously.
"I'm fine," she screeched melodiously. "Your services are not required."
"Um, we have to arrest that man," the lupine guard pointed out. "He's suspected of stealing books and a vole."
"Nonsense," the hawk replied. "I've captured this fascinating morsel, and he is mine. I've not met such an interesting man in a long time, and I intend to get better acquainted. You may assure the odious Mr. Little that if I find any of his property, I shall promptly return it to him."
"But this guy's a suspect," the bovine guard insisted feebly.
"Shoes," Jerry cooed, in a daze.
"Yes, I think he shall make a fine pair of shoes for me," the hawk declared. "Now leave us."
I breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like my problem was solved! Now I could investigate the Duchess's activities .. or I could return to Ethel, inform her that Jerry had been dealt with, and claim my sweet, sweet reward!

One of (only two) forum commands I got last week said that the hawk would have hooks for hands. I don't understand why .. it is probably a reference to something.
