"It's been a long day and I just want to go home" said the great Bigby wolf the sheriff of Fabletown. Bigby was an average heighted man, which did not make him any less fearful, his attitude, his appearance, the scruff on his face indicated he had not groomed for at least a few days, as did the light brown hair on his head, it looked neatly tussled if that made any sense but it was a tad long and ever so slightly wavy.
"I realize that Bigby but the man is causing a ruckus, can't you just... I don't know roughen him up a bit? Do your job perhaps?" Toad said arms crossed scowling at the man. Toad was one of the loudest of the fables; he would call Bigby whenever anything happened…anything. Of course that is to be expected, if a situation occurs what could a 3 foot toad do?
Sheriff Bigby said nothing which could be said about his facial expressions as well, as they remained neutral while he stood there staring at the 3 foot toad. He took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled it into the air not minding the angry toad standing in front him
"What is it this time toad?" Bigby said obviously annoyed by the situation
"The apartment is supposed to be empty, I hear someone bashing around in there, I go up to see what's going and I find a bloke in there tearing up the place. I ask who he is but the fella just walks past me like I don't exist. He was looking for something Bigby I just know it" The toad explained
"Is he there now?" Bigby asked calmly
"Didn't I just say he walked past me? No he's not!" The toad said throwing his arms up in frustration
"Then what's the problem?" Bigby asked peacefully
"The problem?? The problem is there's been a break in" Toad's arms were now on his hips as he waited for the big man to do something.
Bigby let out a low growl and headed upstairs to where the apartment room was. He opened the door and went inside only to find the apartment perfectly neat and tidy, nothing broken and nothing out of place. As he looked around toad found his way into the room as well.
"This can't be… I swear the place was a mess, broken glass and furniture everywhere" The toad said mouth open shocked at the sight of the perfectly clean room. Bigby glared at the toad for a second before sniffing the area.
"Toad…" Bigby said stretching the word causing toad to look his way, guilty expression all over his face. "Toad, have you been drinking?" He said staring blankly at the creature standing before him.
"I might have had a drink or two, what of it?" Toad replied defensively.
Bigby exhaled again wiping his face with his hand.
"I'm out of here… My number is for real emergencies only" He said walking past the toad and heading outside the building not before putting his cigarette out on the floor.
"Damn toad, bringing me all this way for nothing…" He began speaking to himself on his walk back to the Luxury apartments, it was 2am and he had gotten little sleep the past few days, Ichabod Crane was doing his best to keep him busy with mundane work. But it was worth it because he got the chance to see Snow. Snow White the fairest in the lands, at least she used to be; now she has to settle with being amongst the fairest in Fabletown New York. Every time Ichabod assigned Bigby a case was a chance for him to see Snow which he didn't mind, he didn't mind at all. He arrived at the building tired and exhausted all he wanted to do was sit down, have a drink and nap the rest of the night. He walked in the lobby and as expected the security officer was laid back hat covering his eyes sleeping.
"At least someone's getting a good night's rest" Bigby said to himself.
He noticed a couple boxes labeled 'Plants' on it. He assumed someone was just moving in, there were still vacant rooms in the apartment so he didn't think twice.
