This choice: Something he couldn't quite identify, but it was so GOOD! • Go Back...Chapter #5Pie-Filling Perfection by: Fatso580   Bogo's eyes popped open and he couldn't quite clamp down on the moan of culinary ecstasy that escaped his throat. Turning red from embarrassment Bogo was immediately grateful that Officer Clawhauser had closed the door behind him. If anyone else on the force had actually seen him moaning over a pastry his reputation as a disciplined fitness minded chief would be shattered!
The Chief found his gaze drawn back down to the pastry, the purple-ish filling was oozing out of a little crack near the edge of the pie tin, and he couldn't help running his tongue across his lips. Man that tiny taste of pie was GOOD. And against his own better judgement he found himself reaching for the pie again as there was a sudden knock at the door.
Bogo jumped and bawled, "CLAWHAUSER! What's the meaning of this in-..." He broke off when he noticed, not a chubby cheetah but, a startled bunny in the doorway. "...-trusion. Officer Hopps, forgive me. I was just talking to Clawhauser earlier about something and thought he'd come back already."
The huge water buffalo cleared his throat and shifted some papers, carefully covering the pie with today's newspaper and hoping that Judy hadn't noticed it. "So, what is it you need this morning, Officer Hopps?"
"Uhm... I just have the reports from our patrols last night, Nick's and mine." Judy said, recovering quickly, bouncing forward to hand Bogo the papers. Her little bunny nose twitched slightly. "Oh, something smells good. Breaking your regime a little to have a pastry for breakfast, Chief?" She said playfully.
Bogo's blush came creeping back as he stumbled over a response. "No, uh... n-no, it was uh. It was Clawhauser!" He said, seizing on a handy scape-cheetah, whom he'd already mentioned had been in the office. "You know how Benjamin is, always munching on baked goods, he had some berry something or other that he was eating for breakfast when he came by my office. You must be smelling that!"
Bogo took the folder from Judy and was relieved when she turned to go. "Well, whatever it is, it smells really good. I'll have to try and figure out where I can get one to try." She said thoughtfully as she walked out the door.
Bogo choked a little at that statement, but Judy didn't seem to notice.
His eyes flickering guiltily to the newspaper covering the pie as he opened up the folder to read over the reports inside it. "Speeding ticket... Jaywalking... Speeding ticket... let off vendor selling without permit with a warning... hello...what's this?" He muttered, pausing over the last report.
"Suspicious activity on the docks? Illegal fruit imports?" He leaned over the report more closely and began to read it more thoroughly. "No suspects as of yet, person of interest fled on foot and evaded pursuit in alleyways..."
Bogo's fingers drummed against the desktop as he read on, thinking hard. He didn't even notice that his hand was slowly creeping toward the pie again until his fingers plopped down into another dollop of pie filling with a soft splat!
"Ah, cripes..." He muttered, grimacing but popping the gooped fingers into his mouth with less hesitation this time. He shivered at the flavor and sighed contentedly, sucking on his fingertips a little to make sure he got all of the filling off.
"That's it though, no more. I can't break my regime, no matter HOW tasty you are!!" He somehow managed to whisper and shout at the same time.
Then he grabbed the pie and...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
