Stuck Together

Chapter 12

When Tina and Porky got to the police station, they went inside the building and walked up to a woman in uniform, who was the front desk officer of the unit. 

"Hi ma'am. We need to speak to one of your detectives, please. Its a urgent matter." Porky informed the officer. 

"Yeah, one moment." The policewoman said, while chewing her gum in a bored tone and walked over to a nearby cop to inform him of their presence. 

Tina suddenly felt tired from her anxiety of being ripped off from her job all because a horrible turtle had to mess with her store. 

"Sigh. Where are those two bozos when we need them? If Bugs was already aware of this, he could of at least identify with this contract a lot faster than these knuckleheads can. They just don't seem to care at all." Tina huffed, exhausted while rubbing her head, agitated. 

"You're right. Come to think of it, where are Bugs and Daffy? I haven't heard either of them at all in days. I know they should be around here somewhere. They would have told me if they were going on a vacation or anything." Porky said while rubbing his chin in thought and confusion. 

"I know. I tried calling Daffy and he hasn't responded..... You don't think that they caught onto this too, do you?" Tina asked turning to Porky, now worried. 

"Well...." Porky was going to say about that being a possibility when all of a sudden, they heard shouting and turn their heads to the direction of the noise. 

It was Foghorn Leghorn, who was now handcuffed and pleading for help while several small officers were taking him into custody. 

"Where's my lawyer?! I'm innocent! You got to believe me! I swear, I didn't do it!" Foghorn Leghorn yelled out in a repeat. 

"Mr. Leghorn?" Porky said in shock as the two watch him get placed in a close by jail cell, who was still yelling out at this point from a far off echo. 

"You know that guy?" Tina, asked surprised. 

"Yeah. He's the one who helped me and Bugs with advertisement advice. We wouldn't be able to sell anything of my grandmother's cakes using his carrots at all if it wasn't for him." Porky said, a little proud that Foghorn was real helpful for business propositions. 

As the two took a couple of seconds in silence to think about how reliable Foghorn could be for their case, the officer woman then, walked back towards them with a paper that was attached to a clipboard and a pen. 

"Here ya go. Fill this out and one of our officers will be with you in a minute to discuss your complaint." The officer said, bluntly and handed Porky the document to fill out. 

"What happened to him?" Tina asked, curiously. 

"Oh we're indicting him with embezzlement after records show that he was swindling his own company's money. He claimed that it was his assistant taking it all for herself but can't prove otherwise until the courts can go over that matter." The officer explained. 

"That woman might a part of the scheme. we need to see what he knows about this." Tina whispered to Porky who nodded his head in agreement. 

"Can we talk to him for a moment?" Porky asked. 

"Are you his lawyer?" The Policewoman asked. 

"No but..." Porky tried to explain until he was cut off. 

"I'm sorry but there are no visiting hours available for guests. Unless you're one of the two phone calls that he makes, you can't see him until he makes bail which won't be but about another two weeks from now." The Policewoman informed.
