Nunito carefully watched the thing across the table.

They'd been sitting there for awhile, like this, waiting for Nunito's partner to arrive. It was very uncomfortable. But, Nunito didn't want to start without him, no matter late he was all the time.
Nunito started tapping his fingers on the table. So very uncomfortable. Why was he always so late? He should give him one of those stopwatchs on a chain. He smiled at the thought. He'd be a real White Rabbit then. Or at least one that wasn't always late.
"Hey, sorry I'm late." Garamond said, walking into the room.
"Please stop bein' late." Nuntio said, shooting the brown-and-white rabbit a look that made his ears go down. He ran a hand through his fur. "Let's get down to buisness before I decide it's huntin' season and we're huntin' rabbits."

"Do you two always act like this?" the thing asked. It looked back down when Nunito looked back at it. This thing wasn't an animal and that's what made it so unusual. Garamond and Nunito were running an interrogation. And since these dog and rabbit partners hardly even got along, who knows how long this could take? The thing had been found wandering around, and only caught when a cougar smacked it on the back of the head. It only had fur on its head. It didn't look like any animal Nunito had ever seen.

"Like I said, let's get back to business before I start bustin' heads." Nuntio said. He went over to the thing and grabbed its chin, forcing it to look at him with those eerie blue eyes. "What are ya?"
"Human." it said. Nunito looked at Garamond. What the heck's a human?
"Hmm. Never seen such a thing around these parts. Or anywhere, for that matter." he said. "Where'd ya come from?"
"Where am I right now?" the human asked.
"Hey, dummy. I ask the questions. Where'd ya come from?"
"Earth?"
"Hmm. Never heard of it. You just makin' stuff up to save yer hide?"
"N-no, uhh.... dog."

Nunito let go of the human's chin. Uhhh, this thing's weird.
"Who are ya?" Nunito asked.
"Andy Parker." the human said. Even its name is weird!
"Well, Andy Parker, what are you doing here?" Garamond asked, his voice gentle. Good cop, bad cop. Garamond and Nunito were naturals at it, but could never do the other role, so Garamond was always the late good cop and Nunito was the on-time bad cop.
"I don't know." Andy said. "One second I was home, the next second I wake up here with some kind of lizard sleeping on my stomach. That won't get out of my hood now."
On cue, a little blue dragon's face stuck out of Andy's hood. It put its face back in the hood seconds later.
"Interesting." Nunito said.
"Am I drunk?" Andy Parker asked. Nunito leaned in and smelled the human's breath.
"No, not from what I can smell, although I do smell bacon. Have anymore bacon, or did the dragon eat it?" Nunito asked.
"What dragon?" Andy Parker asked. (It sounded male, so Nunito decided it was a male.)
"The one in yer hood." (Andy Parker gulped at this.) "So, if ya can't remember how ya got here, and ya don't got no more bacon, do ya know why yer here?"

Andy Parker looked down at his feet. "No." he simply said, looking back up.
"Actually, we're askin' if ya know why we brought ya in, if yer confused."
"No." he said again.
"You were disturbing a lot of folks, and there'd been reports yer an alien." Nunito said. "We're keepin' ya here until the panic dies down. Until then, yer not goin' anywhere."

The dragon made a "dun dun DUH!" noise.

"Oh, come on!" Andy Parker groaned. "This is just great. How long will that take?"
"Who knows or cares?" Nunito said. "Yer stayin' here, we're keepin' ya here so ya don't cause anymore panic, I want bacon. Okay? We're done here."
"But---"
"We're. Done. I'm goin' off to get some bacon now."

And with that, the interrogation ended. And Nunito left, presumably to find some bacon.
