What are we fighting for?

CHAPTER 2: A local hero

A week after the incident involving David, things started to go back to normal, that mess got cleaned up, Rex healed the pup back to health and gave him a name, Riley, as he isn't leaving Rexs side, he knows there's more to Riley than his power, is this all a coincidence? Rexs power growing, dangerous power now appearing, Riley, a unknown prophecy, it's all a mystery that he's determined to now uncover.

"Roger that sir" Johnson hangs up "well Rex we have been given the authorities to take you on and train you to help keep law and order in this small town and other nearby towns if they need a quick response or backup", feeling nervous he accepted the offer on one condition "if I join then Riley is joining with me, I know there is a reason why he is here and how he helped me and won't leave my side; his energy is connected to mine I just know it please sir I have already been training him and he is listening to my every command look ill prove it" Rex whistles him in "sit, ok good boy now play dead, ok now dead crawl" Riley is pretending to be dead but also crawling slowing to Rex. Rex taught him this skill in case another fight happens again and Rex needs Riley to go get help or to sneak up on someone. Johnson is actually impressed; a brief chuckle came from him "hey relax its ok *chuckles* sure of course you can Rex we always could always use a furry friend to help us with short rescues, petty thievery or run-away teens after getting into a fight with their old man" Rex smiled "alright sir I'm in and I promise I won't let you down" cheerfully replied Rex

"So, before I hand you off to Officer Shin'vok or Shin for short, he won't mind you calling him it, he may seem all big and intimidating but he's actually caring and soft, ahah don't let him know I said that. Alright son your dismissed come find me after you have done with your tasks" Rex leaves the room to meet Shin and to let Johnson fill in reports. Making his way down the stairs he sighs with relief and gives a confident smile, nods at officers he passes by. Finally, arrived at officer Shin's office, *knock knock* a low voice calls him in. When Rex opens the door, he sees a orc, coffee in one hand and a beef, cheese and blood leaf sandwich in the other, he looks up and stares Rex down, staring to feel a bit nervous, sweat starts to drip down his head, a sudden burst of laughter came from Shin "HAHA oh boy you should see your face right now ah relax I'm only messing lad come on come in and take a seat" he spoke with a Russian accent, this was interesting to Rex as it was said that only 2 orc clans live there so this was a rare opportunity for him to get his knowledge up more about foreign lands. Chuckling back nervously "yeah you sure did get me" "Please, you can call me Shin, only people who are close or have my respect can call me that and you, Rex have definitely earned it"

While surprised Rex stutters "h-how have I? I haven't done anything" Shin bursts out laughing "so it wasn't you who took down David and his crooks da and most of all you are putting those spells to good use ya" Shin calms down after his laughing fit "Da Johnson has sent you to do some work has he ayy, eeeeeeeh well I guess I could find something for you, let's see here" Shin searches through his computer and prints off some files "here take this and go help these folks, shouldn't be anything too big besides you can handle yourself" Rex picks up the papers and puts them into his bag "alright I'll be off then and I will report back anything I find" he heads towards the door before he hears a low angry tone coming from Shin "and boy" Rex turns around slowly "take Riley with you, it will be good for him to help out and get used to the area" he beings to laugh uncontrollably Rex chuckles and walks out.

At the door waiting was Riley he shot up to see Rex and started to jump around with excitement "come on boy let's go help some people yeah and get some food for tonight once we've done" Rex and Riley both left the station and started to walk to the first person on the list.
