From Wolfie with love: I would like to thank the above furs for allowing me to use their characters in my humble story, the story will be my version of the 70's hit TV show of the same name, I hope you all enjoy!

Rion has spent the first night of his new life in a room above the operational office of the Townsend Detective agency, and while he is still having to adjust to the new way of doing things, he can't help but think that maybe this time things will be different, that he will be given a new degree of freedom to work with. He hears a car pull up in front of the office and looks at the clock on the wall.

"You have to be fucking kidding me, that guy Bosley is here at 6am, he either has no home life or he is dedicated to his work"

The outer office door opens and in walks Bosley, he unlocks the door to the office and quietly walks in, hoping to avoid waking Rion, little does he know that he now has the Husger staring at his back.

"Bosley, no need to skulk around trying not to wake me up, I'm already awake"

Bosley yelps and jumps a little as he is startled by Rion.

"For the love of all that is holy Rion, don't sneak up on me like that. Now, since you are awake, you can take a seat on the couch and I will join you in a sec, then we can both get our days orders from Mr. Townsend"

Rion just shrugs his shoulders and then flops down onto the couch, Bosley makes the call and then activates the speaker box, and he then starts the morning call.

"Morning Mr. Townsend"

There is a dry chuckle on the other end of the line.

"Bosley please, I think now that Rion is with you, you can both start calling me Charlie, and as for you Rion, how was your first night's sleep outside of the police academy?"

Rion's head quickly spins around the room looking for any signs of cameras, but finding none.

"It was good Charlie thank you, now how the hell did you know that I was sat next to Bosley?"

I let out a hearty belly laugh at Rion's question.

"That is simple Rion, you see the phone line that we are using gives us digital clarity, so I can hear everything, from the smallest pin drop, to the largest bowling ball falling from a great height, and I've also just heard that fart that you were trying to keep in, so as to how did I know that you were sitting next to Bosley, well there were two sounds of breathing, one I know was Bosley, the other by deduction had to be yours"

Rion apologises while blushing profusely, and then I continue to outline the plan for the day.

"Okay guys, today is day two of my recruitment drive, now I believe that Bosley you have your eyes on two more guys from the academy and I was wondering if Rion could give me a heads up on them?"

The Husger's ears flick a little.

"Well Charlie, I know the one guy quite well, Trip Legacy, we kind of have a love/hate relationship, we love to hate each other, while he has the same disregard for authority that I have that is where our similarities end, I prefer to take action to resolve a situation, whereas he thinks and analyses things to their death, as for the other guy, I only know his name which is Adam Foxtail, and the fact that he is a fox, aside from that not much is known"

It's now Bosley's turn to add what he knows.

"Rion is right regarding Adam Foxtail, there are no records kept anywhere that can give us any idea of what he is like, essentially he is an enigma, an unknown quantity, which also means that he could be our greatest risk"

I mull over everything that the guys have told me and then I make my reply.

"Okay today guys I want you both to concentrate on Mr. Legacy, and Rion, now that you are part of the team, any likes or dislikes that you may have for any of the team will be left outside the door, when you are on my time you will do what is needed to both get the job done and to protect every member of the team, the same will go for the other two members, and trust me Rion, I am one Rottweiler that you don't want to get on the wrong side of"

At this Rion again shrugs his shoulders.

"Well Charlie, I can't and won't guarantee anything, but I will give it my best shot"

I give a resigned sigh.

"Fine, your best shot will have to do; now I want both of you ready to head out to the police academy in ten minutes, and Bosley, if Mr. Legacy turns out to be too much of a handful, ditch him and continue your search. Work well my angels and stay safe"

With the pep talk over I press the call cancel button on my desk to end the call. Back at the office, Bosley and Rion head out to the car and begin the journey back to the police academy.

"You know Bosley, coming back here gives me the creeps"

Bosley chuckles at Rion's musings.

"Ah but Rion, you are forgetting one thing, this time you will be on the outside looking in, you will no longer be there as a cadet. Now let me just reiterate what Charlie said back at the office, any differences that exist between you and any members of the team will be left outside your work time, Mr. Legacy and Mr. Foxtail will both get the same talk, who knows, you may even get to like your team mates. Once today is over, I will take you back to your house, at least then you can sleep in your own bed, but I want you back at the office by 6am tomorrow"

As Bosley finishes his speech they arrive at the academy, the car comes to a stop in the parking lot and they both exit the car and head into the academy, as they enter the academy they are greeted by the Coyote at the front desk.

"Sorry Mr. Bosley, all sales are final, you can't return damaged goods that are sold as seen"

Rion sneers and raises his index finger to the Coyote.

"Screw you arsehole"

Bosley clears his throat.

"Now Rion, the trick is to not rise to the challenge, once the team is all together, we won't need to come back here"

Bosley now walks up to the main desk.

"Right today we are here to see Mr. Trip Legacy, please have him taken to the interview room"

The Coyote activates his radio again.

"This is the Front Desk calling Mike Tolan"

The radio crackles and then the Draft Horse answers.

"This is Tolan, is our friend Mr. Bosley back?"

The Coyote confirms the question, the Draft Horse then continues.

"So what is it this time, more puppy walking or does he have another vict... I mean recruit in mind?"

The Coyote lets out a slight chuckle before answering.

"Mike can you find Trip Legacy and take him to the interview room please, Mr. Bosley and Rion will meet you there"

Tolan acknowledges his order and the radio goes silent.

"Okay Mr. Bosley, as Rion knows his way around this place pretty well I will leave you in his paws"

Rion and Bosley head towards the door separating the front desk area from the main academy area, once at the door the Coyote presses a button, there is a loud buzz and Rion pushes the door open, they both walk through the door and allow it to close behind them.

After a five minute walk both Bosley and Rion are standing in front of the interview room and are met by the Draft Horse.

"Mr. Bosley, I really think that you are asking for trouble this time, you see Rion and Trip don't really get on very well, so don't be too surprised if there is a little tension in the room"

The Horse opens the door and allows me and Rion to pass through, once inside the door is closed behind us and instantly I feel the temperature in the room drop. The Arctic Wolf begins to bare his teeth when he sees Rion.

"What the fuck is he doing here?"

Rion gives a soft teasing chuckle as he replies.

"Well it's nice to see you too"

Before things can get out of paw Bosley steps in.

"Mr. Legacy, please try and control your temper and language, especially with someone who hopefully you will be working closely with"

Trip's eyes go wide as he hears this.

"Mr. Boswatch, or Bosley or whatever your name is, are you clinically insane, there is no way in hell that I will ever stand next to him in battle"

Bosley crosses his arms across his chest and smirks a little.

"So you would rather stay here at the academy until you are thrown out instead of joining an agency that will push the boundaries of your abilities? Tisk tisk I thought you had more about you than that, well if you are not interested in seeing the world, and pushing yourself to the limit then I guess I will bid you a good day and sorry for wasting your time, come on Rion, it's obvious that Mr. Legacy is stuck with being a failure as a cop"

Both Rion and Bosley turn back towards the door and begin to walk towards it; suddenly Trip has a change of heart.

"So you know of my failing grades here at the academy huh? Okay you got me, I would like to use my abilities to their fullest, and I suppose that working with somebody that I don't like all that much is a small price to pay, so okay, I will sign up, but I'm warning you, if he does anything to push my buttons, I won't be responsible for my actions"

Bosley now turns back to face the Arctic Wolf and smiles.

"Trust me Trip, Rion is under orders to curb his anti social ways, but you will get the same talk that I gave Rion, you will both learn to respect each other while you work at the agency, what you do outside the agency is up to you, as long as it doesn't reflect badly on us"

The Wolf gently nods a little as Bosley finishes off his sentence.

"Welcome to the Townsend Detective Agency Trip, you are now like Rion, well on your way to becoming an angel"

Trip now looks at Rion with a look of confusion on his face; Rion just gives a soft chuckle and replies.

"Don't ask Trip, just don't ask"

Bosley lets out his own giggle.

"Okay Trip, get yourself into your civilian clothes and meet us at the front desk, we leave as soon as the paperwork is done"

Bosley now knocks on the door which is opened by the Horse.

"Mr. Tolan, Trip here is now going to be out of your mane, so allow him to get into his day clothes while Rion and I go to complete the paperwork"

The Draft Horse pumps the air with his hoofed right hand.

"Oh don't worry Mr. Bosley, I have been waiting to get rid of this guy for some time, I just didn't think that you were dumb enough to actually take him on"

The Horse starts to laugh as he walks away, his tail swaying back and forth; it seems that his mood is getting better each day.

Ten minutes later and Rion and Bosley are at the front desk finishing off the required paperwork when Trip makes his way into the office.

"Well guys, I'm ready to go when you are"

Bosley's tail begins to wag a little as he signs the final release paper.

"Okay Trip just one more signature now, and that is yours, once you have signed the paperwork, we can go to Rion's place, so that he can collect his vehicle, and then we will head back to the office where you will get to meet the voice that is going to be your employer"

With all of the paperwork now signed, Bosley leads the two new recruits out to his car; silence surrounds the three as they clamber into the vehicle. Bosley starts the car and they drive to Rion's place still in complete silence.

After a half hour drive they arrive at the driveway of Rion's home, a modest looking two story building, the exterior of which looks to be in fairly good order, on the driveway sits a green Dodge Charger that has been heavily modified, complete with two black stripes running front to back down the centre of the car. Bosley let out a giggle as he sees the car.

"Somehow I just knew that there would be a Charger on the driveway, but it looks fairly well cared for so you must lavish a lot of love on it, puts my Mercedes in the shadows a little, oh well, each to their own"

Rion snickers as Bosley finishes his sentence.

"So Bosley, I will follow you back to the office, and don't worry, I won't deviate, if there is one thing that I don't do, it is go back on my word"

Rion closes the car door and then Bosley moves the car so that Rion can reverse out from his driveway. The Charger's V8 Hemi engine roars into life, with Rion now ready both cars make their way towards Angel HQ.

The journey comes to an end as both cars pull into the parking area; Bosley and Trip are the first to get to the door with Rion hot on their paws, the three dogs enter the office, Trip and Rion sit in separate seats while Bosley activates the speaker box, suddenly they are greeted by the voice that they will all learn to love and respect.

"Good evening Angels, and yes Trip I am including you in that, now Bosley I notice that there seems to be a little tension in the room this evening, may I ask why?"

Before Bosley can answer, Rion speaks up.

"Charlie, it's me Rion, yes you are right there is a little spark of tension here because of the choice that Bosley made for the second Angel, now I mean no disrespect to you or Bosley, but I have to question the motives for bringing a pup on board"

In my little den of seclusion my fur begins to bristle as I hear Rion's answer and I make my reply.

"Now Rion, I don't want to hear that from any of my Angels, let's face it, your record is hardly an exemplary one, if you want to stay as an Angel you will learn to work with Trip and the third member of the team"

Rion hangs his head and mumbles his apology, with that done I continue.

"Now Bosley, tomorrow will be your final visit to the Police Academy, please make sure that Mr. Foxtail is one hundred percent in favour of joining the team. Before I go, it falls upon me to welcome Mr. Legacy into the team, and also to tell you that once Mr. Foxtail is with us there will be a party, this will be one of the few times that I will be with you, however, don't think about trying to find me, because my name will not be on the guest list, and I am a master of disguise"

I let out a dry chuckle as I hear Rion give a soft groan.

"Well Angels, it has been a trying day for all so I suggest that you all get some sleep, Mr. Legacy, as you do not have a place to stay as yet, you may use the room above the office, Bosley will show you the way, and Rion, I know for a fact that you picked up your pride and joy from home, so you getting home for the night won't be a problem, sleep well my Angels, tomorrow is a new day"

The line goes dead again and Bosley shuts off the speaker box, Rion stands from the couch and heads out to his car and begins the journey home while Bosley leads Trip to the room above the office. A few minutes later and he is back behind the wheel of his Mercedes, and heading back to the warm and loving arms of his Rottweiler, the arms of Charlie Townsend.
