"... well, with all the pyrotechnics we did, I don't think so. I blew up two of their trucks and you were burning some papers up front so I'm going to assume they aren't stupid enough to try the same thing twice. Still, it's better off we let the Bon Bon police handle this one and repair any damages to the house. You can stay in mine for the night if you want.". Grimm pressed the gas pedal again, heading foward down the paved roads. The trees were slowly starting to grow thinner and thinner, the path to town revealed with a blinding sunlight and vast landscapes all around.

"And I usually get a hunch when things like these work out. I gotta teach you how to use your claws as keys next.".

Jessica closed her eyes and held herself tightly, "I'd like that," she said softly barely above a whisper then opened her eyes again looking at the view now that they were out of the forest, "but how can I ever go home if there's a chance they'll be back?"

The panther only smiled. "You let me handle that. Either way, we should tell Wolf about this so he alerts the proper people too.". The truck took a few bumps here and there, the cabin the two were in jumping some. The vast beauty of Bon Bon's nature was seen. Too bad that it was... a bit of a bad time to enjoy it.

Jessica sighed softly again and looked out the side window still holding herself tightly, "Will he be able to make sure they don't come after me again?" she asked unable to hide the worry in her voice.

"Yeah. He's got tons of friends with the hosh posh nobility in Bon Bon. They'll make sure those creeps don't get anywhere near you again. Honestly though... I think I've already involved you enough on dangerous things to last a few good years. I'd rather not get you into any of our affairs.". The panther's face went to a stark serious one as they made across the dirt roads. He may have been an ass, but at least he tried to be a nice guy. Emphasis on try.

Suddenly, during one of the turns through the road, a sudden sound of sliding was heard from the back of the lorry. Grimm slowed down somewhat to focus on whatever that sound was. "Hmm? Cargo?". No more noise afterwards. Seemed harmless enough.

Jessica finally cheered up a little, "Well I'm glad to hear that at least," she said with a slight smile on her lips then her head turned when she heard the sound from the back, "what was that?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Sounded like cargo crates. Let me go check it out.". Grimm slowly set the Truck on the side of the road, the large rolling wheels grinding to a halt with a screech. The door opened and the panther immediately got off to go investigate just what that sound was. As he walked up along the right side of the truck and towards the covering tarps, he immediately pulled it to a side.

"Holy crap!". That's pretty much all he said. Looks like he found something interesting.

After hearing Grimm's reaction Jessica quickly climbed out of the cab and walked around behind the truck, "What's wrong?" she asked quickly while she tapped the panther on his shoulder.

The panther stood back, the tarp pulled to the side. Inside? This was coincidence to the bloody extreme. Strawberries! So many, many crates full of fresh Strawberries! What would terrorists want with so many of the sweet red fruit? "This is.... weird. Why the hell would they have so many strawberries in the first place!?!?!?". Grimmjaw was unable to make sense of it while he scratched at the back of his head.

Jessica actually gulped a little as she looked at the crates in the back of the lorry as her hands shifted nervously, "Do... do you think there is something wrong with them?" she asked glancing at the panther.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Grimm stretched himself inside the truck storage and grabbed ahold of one of the pieces of fruit, taking it into his hand well. Grimm proceeded to smell the fruit. "Doesn't smell like it has anything.". He then immediately popped the piece on his mouth. "Doesn't taste like it has anything. What I want to know is what were they doing with these many berries in the first place!".

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

"Maybe they planned on doing something with them?" Jessica said quietly as she licked her lips looking from the panther's mouth to the berries in the back of the truck and then back to Grimm.

"Maybe. I'll check out later where they'd get this many strawberries. There's enough of these to hold a Bakery for months!". Grimm closed the tarp and fastened it to the small ledge at the bottom to keep it well locked and closed for no accidental spills. "For now, to the victor, the spoils!!!".

"You mean we can keep them?!" Jessica asked practicly pouncing on the panther with wide eyes as she grabbed his shirt.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

As the panther was grappled by the raccoon in all her excitement, Grimm's face went astonished. "Yes, yes, just quit shaking me so much!!".

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Jessica blushed to the point she appeared to be the same color as their fruitful discovery, "I... I'm sorry Grimm." she said softly.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

The panther, now not being shaken like a chew toy, shook his head around and blinked some to get his bearings. When he heard Jessica apologize though, Grimm up and placed his arms on her shoulders. "Hey, hey, hey, you're excited. No need to apologize. Now let's get into town and see what we do with these things.".

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Jessica gasped and shook Grimm once again, "Y... you mean we have to get rid of them?!" she asked shaking the panther a little harder.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

As he was shaken again, Grimm resumed saying in a loud voice on his confusion. "No, no, no, we're keeping them!". This in turn looked like certain oriental animations that wouldn't be into existence until 110 years later.

Jessica suddenly let go and hugged Grimm as if she was trying to break him in two, "OH THANK YOU THANK YOU!" she said excitedly.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

And then her bear hug made him groan as his back cracked lightly from pain. "Ack!!!".

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Jessica held the hug smiling and hugging Grimm continuosly as her tail swung behind her excitedly.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

As the hug lasted for nearly 30 seconds, Grimm suddenly placed a hand on Jessica's head and proceeded to pet her. "Today has been strange. To make it more strange or go to normal, that is the question.". At least he smiled for a few seconds, considering she was happy.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

"How could this day get any stranger?" Jessica asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Hmm.... I could resume teaching you how to escape handcuffs again.". This time, Grimm said it with a shit eating grin and NOT the good kind. It was sooo very much obvious he had something evil in mind when he said that.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Jessica shook her head quickly, "No not right now, since you taught me that who knows what'd probably happen." she says with a surprisingly serious face look on her face.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Hey, you need to learn how to escape using your nails next! The most usefull way to escape. But as an added challenge... you'd have to do it while streaking through town.". He didn't sound serious, yet this was Grimm we were talking about. Far too hard to really tell when he actually was.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

"I'd bite you before that would ever happen!" Jessica said with a very mean looking frown on her face showing she was one hundred percent serious.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Okay, that's a given. BUT what if the prize was this lorry full of strawberries, hmmmm????". He immediately leaned his face foward, nearly unto hers with an inviting smirk. It seemed rather creepy, but the stupid expression was... well, priceless.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 26 Mar 2011 Posts: 2709

Jessica's face was a very deep shade of red, "Not for all the strawberries in the world!" she said quickly and after breaking the hug she crossed her arms in a pouting manner.
