The National Guard Stop

Tim Wilde, a male anthropoid raccoon, driving back home from the police station in his personal vehicle which is a dark green full size pick-up truck where him and his wife Riley, a female anthropoid red fox, worked. Riley was running a little late because she had a nightmare that kept her up most of the night so she sent Tim ahead to the department's shift start meeting while she got herself breakfast and her equipment ready. Tim was on his way home to get her and the patrol car. He had just pulled onto the street where they lived which is Lakeshore Avenue from Emergency Lakes Drive which is where the department and the nearest fire department is. As soon as he got onto Lakeshore an olive green Humvee pulled up behind him and indicated for him to pull over. Tim pulled over a few feet later. His truck was then approached by two human males in camouflage As the guy on the driver's side of the truck reached the driver's side door Tim rolled the window down and pulled out his driver's licence and police officer's identification card and asked "Something wrong?"

"My name is Corporal Smith and that's my partner Captain Stycks and we are with the National Guard other than you driving during the governor's shelter in place order. We are just trying to figure out why?" replied the man on the driver's side of the truck

"My name is Tim and I am an on duty police officer I am just on my way home to get my patrol car and partner." Tim replied turning his engine off.

"What is your last name?" Captain Stycks replied

"Wilde with an E." Tim replied as he looked over at Captain Stycks on the passenger side of the truck.

"Okay I see you are on the work list but I haven't seen anything about your partner." Captain Stycks said.

"I am not sure if they are on the list as Brooks or Wilde." Tim replied

"How is your list set up in your tablet?" Tim asked out of curiosity

"I don't quite see exactly how that matters." Captain Stycks responded

"Because SHE is a FOX." Tim replied putting emphasis on the words she and fox trying not to sound like he was giving Captain Stycks attitude.

After a few minutes Captain Stycks said "I found her. I guess her gender and species did help. She was listed under Brooks. Your both clear just be safe from the new virus out there."

"Her Maiden name is brooks and yeah I heard about that. Actually keeping people from unnecessary errands and preventing more riots and thefts are in our top five priorities starting today." Tim replied.

"Well have a good and safe shift." Corporal Smith said returning Tim's licence and police ID card.

"We usually do." Tim replied as he started his truck.

He drove for a quarter mile then pulled into his driveway. As he backed his truck into the three stall garage built on the left side of the house he saw Riley sitting in the drivers seat of the patrol car waiting for him to return. He closed the door to the bay his truck was in then opened the bay for the patrol car before he sat down in the passenger seat.

"So what took you so long?" Riley asked as Tim closed the passenger side door.

"Sorry the meeting ran a little long due to the governors message then the National guard stopped me." Tim replied just before he kissed Riley on the cheek. "Want to talk about last nights nightmare?" Tim asked.

Riley pulled out of the garage and said "All it was about was that this virus. It brought the apocalypse like how we see it in movies and one of us was killed with the virus."
