Chapter 4

Sometime later, a long caravan of police come swarming unto the scene, like vultures to a fresh carcass. Out of the lead car’s driver’s seat, comes a scruffy looking man in a long grown trench coat and an expensive cigar in his mouth. He puts the cigar out unto the hood of the squad car. He then pulls out a cigar box, places the half finish cigar inside it, and throws it unto the driver's seat. The salt and peppered hair man slams the door out of disgust.

“Well, recruit get out and see the worst crime you probably ever seen in your short miserable career. Just pray that you don’t see anything worse than this, or you will have to go to the loony bin.”

The eighteen year old recruit was just out of the local police academy nervously got of the passenger seat and walked over to the rough looking man.

The older man spoke,”Are you gonna shut your door, or you going to buy me a new car battery?”

“Well sorry sir,” as he walked back over to shut his door.

The gruff man was wearing a brown three piece suit under his coat, which had to be worth hundreds of dollars. He had once had his vocal cords crushed, while he was an undercover cop. This

made his already gravelly voice that much more rougher.

The young recruit was bawling, like a little baby that hadn’t been fed in three days.

The taller officer spoke,”Be a man and quit all that sniveling! I am crying too!”

The recruit dried his eyes with a hanky out of his pocket and asked a question.

“But you are not crying, captain!”

The officer spoke,”I am crying too son, but I had shed all the tears that I can give in my whole lifetime. I can’t give out anymore than I already had. It haunts me in my dreams, no rather yet, nightmares when I see cases like this. You harden yourself to the shock and prepare your for it. Yet, I am never truly ready for it, when I find it. If you want to get far in the force, you will have to learn to compartmentalized the horror in your mind. If you refuse to do so, then you go mad! I seen far too many of my comrades fall into the despair doing this hellish task.”

The recruit spoke,”Thank you for the advice captain, I will need I all got to work here this day!”

The captain spoke,”That is enough chit chat for now, since I am not paid by the hour, like you feeble recruits. I may not get any sleep for up to a week.”

The first thing that the officer was drawn to was the scene of three people near each other. One

of the people was a middle aged woman that was apparently impaled. The second person was a man covered in bullet holes and dried blood. He was probably a victim as well. The third person was just a

gob of viscera and patches of clothes. The officer’s eyes caught something that took his breath away.

It was a cloth rabbit ear!

The officer's face turned red as an apple, as spit started to gush out of his mouth.

He spoke,”If that is not the motherfucking bunny man, then I am not Dirty Larry! But, I glad that bitch finally got his come uppings! I just wished that I could had done it myself for what it done to my family and I! God bless you Mom and Dad.”

Larry moved his hand in the shape of the cross.

The captain spoke,”That bastard is hopefully the one that killed my folks! I heard that another one was killed at the sponsored Olympic hotel. The man here was named only by his first name, Johnny and also is also probably the person who killed that other rabbit fucker. He is a heck of a man to impale one of those fuckers unto a flag pole and get on a plane without anyone noticing him for about twelve hours. Then he sees his adopted family slaughtered before his very eyes and he looses it completely.”

The recruit pukes up unto the nearby gravel road.

Larry let out a rare laugh, due to seeing the teenager losing his lunch.

He spoke,”Boy, I told you to not eat that monster burger on the way here. You never go to a

crime scene with a full stomach or you will let it out, as you had done here today. Johnny had must have his mother impaled on the rebar that is embedded into the ground. This guy should’ve died ten times over, but he still managed to avenge his family. What a man! The brass balls on this bad ass, but he was a multiple combat sport world super heavyweight champion. He never lost an amateur or professional fight in his entire life. And sadly, today was no different.”

The young man grabbed the body bag and was placing it unto the ground near the woman’s body, when Johnny’s hand grabs the feet of Larry. Even the harden captain was shaken by the act. The recruit fell down to the ground and scurried away on all fours.

The captain was absolutely frozen in fear, as Johnny’s body rises up to his feet by climbing up Larry’s loose clothes. Johnny was gasping for air, before he passed out in the shorter Larry’s arms. The captain was six foot eight inches and two hundred and sixty-five pounds, when compared to the seven foot tall and three hundred and thirty pounds Johnny. But Larry had no problem putting Johnny’s sand bag of a body unto his back in a fireman’s carry position.

Larry yelled,”Medic! Get your ass over here and help this man. If you don’t, I will break all of...”

Ambulance workers rush over to the captain and placed Johnny on a stretcher. Some of the fellow officers run up to Larry, who was climbing into the ambulance with the injured world champion.

The captain spoke,”I am going with Johnny for his protection. He mustn’t be attacked again, since it’s his God given right to live without the threat of impeding assault. Plus, if he regains his strength he might loose it and leave even more corpses. I never seen a man or beast for that matter take as much damage as he had suffered and still remain in this world. Take the lead from here and I will fill in to what I discovered. “

The officers all shouted,”Yes sir!”

The ambulance drove off as fast as they could.

#

Johnny was taken to the nearby Dirty City hospital and immediately taken to the ER unit.

Larry filled in the details of what he knew about the survivor's injuries to the hospital staff.

One of the nurses spoke,”Officer I need you to leave the ER so that you we can properly treat our patient.”

Larry spoke,”I won’t do it, because fuck you, that’s why! You dumb bitch! The bunny man and the serial rabbit were both sent to kill this man! He killed them both, like the punks that they are. I hope that they are the only two that will come after him. I called over one hundred of our toughest officers to guard this hell hole, or do you want to died, as the two hundred plus people that those monsters had murdered in the last three days!”

That same nurse took off to her duties, without any further incident.

#

Larry never left Johnny without ether him, and or at least ten officers within eye shot of him at every possible angle for the next three months. After the first few days of being in the hospital, Johnny was taken to the ICU wound center. Usually critical care patients are sent to the ICU after they had been stabilized that same day. But the staff was too afraid to move him, so that they wouldn’t jar his already dire injuries. He was placed into an induced coma, so that he wouldn’t open up his injuries. He was given a feeding tube and IV.

Larry was sleeping on a nearby recliner, when three male nurses came into the room to check on

Johnny. One of the nurses, pulls out a syringe from his scrub pocket and starts to put it into his IV.

The patient’s eyes awaken as he grabs the middle of syringe and stabs it into the stomach of the nurse. The attacker hits to the ground with foam pouring out of his mouth.

Larry was only taking a catnap and pulled out his magnum. The second would be killer had his

face shot off beyond recognition by the gun.

Johnny jumped out of bed feet first and heel kicked the top of the remaining assassin’s head. The man’s head was split opened, as the killer fell to the ground with a thud.

The champion then soccer kicked his attacker's head into obscurity.

Larry spoke,”They are all dead, you are safe. I am the one who had saved your life by going with you to the hospital.”

Johnny didn’t respond and fell to the ground out, like a light.

Dirty Larry yelled,”Who was the cocksucker that allow those three fucking bastards to get in here! I ought to beat all your asses and put you in butt rape central! Get this guy some help or I will use the five remain rounds to go on dumb ass killing spree! Well, what are you all waiting for?”

All the nearby people rushed to take care of the scene and to ensure that Johnny was okay and that the crime site was properly investigated. Larry was pissed for the remaining time he was there at the hospital.

Johnny was slipped out of the hospital in a trash cart by the detective in a janitor’s uniform. He was tossed into the side door of a van that was parked by the dumpster of an undercover cop. Larry and the other cop then switched places. The former patient was placed unto the side of the large van, which all the windows were covered in curtains except in the front. Larry locked the van up tight and took off to God only knows where.

Dirty Larry spoke,”I am sorry Johnny, that I had to hide you in a trash bin, but I had to make sure that I could safely get you out. I will not allow our Olympic champion to be killed.”

Johnny spoke from the black seat,”Why am I so special?”

Larry spoke,”Because, I know how it is to see your family get killed, like mere animals.”

Johnny spoke,”Mother fucking bastard! What do you know about my pain?”

Larry spoke,”I am going to drive for a few hours in no sense of directions, before we go to the

safe house. You want something to eat?”

Johnny spoke,”Is there a fatty castle nearby?”

Larry spoke,”Yeah, buddy there is. It will take about fifteen minutes to get there.

Johnny spoke,”Well, jolly good!”

Larry couldn’t help but let out a smile on his harden face.

#

The duo arrived at the fatty castle drive thru.

Larry spoke,”Sneak a peek at the menu through a nearby window and tell me what you want.”

Johnny was looking out the window, as if he was a little kid looking into a candy store window.

“I want a fatty crate of one hundred double bacon ghost pepper cheese burgers, thirty extra large chilli cheese fries, twelve cherry vanilla cola extra large size, eight various flavored milkshakes, and a five pound bucket of jalapeno poppers. What are you gonna get?”

Larry did a spit take and told the food staff Johnny’s order, then his normal sized meal.

They had to wait for over thirty minutes, while the large order was being made.

The captain spoke,”I know that I can put this on the police force account, but hot damn you almost broke me until I can get reimbursed.”

Johnny spoke,”You don’t eat like this all the time?”

Larry spoke,”I never eat like that.”

They got the huge order, so they returned to riding on the road.

Johnny had eaten the entire order in less than thirty minutes.

Larry spoke,”You ate your feast before I could get my meal down.”

Johnny spoke,”I was starved as a kid, so I make sure to get all I can get now. I was starving after the battle...”
