You stuffed your arm into the jacket. Heck it was cold. About 10 PM just outside of TundraTown; not shorts and t-shirt weather.

Jade sat in her dark SUV looking down at her phone.

You hopped into the passenger seat and gently closed the door.

Glancing over, you saw the fox on her phone texting someone. Jade was a dark grey-ish brown fox. You'd assume her parents originated from a desert, but she wasn't small like those fennec ones. She had bright green eyes, which you hadn't noticed before. Kind of like Nick's.

She closed her eyes and sighed as she put her phone down.

Suddenly she threw her arms out and put her head back dramatically, "UGH! The IDIOT. I told him NOT to do that!"

This reaction surprised you as you watched wide eyed while she slammed her head on the steering wheel.

She turned her head towards you, "And guess what?"

After a second of her staring at you, you stammered, "U-Uh... what?"

"He goes and does it anyway. The nerve of some foxes. I swear it's genetic."

You rubbed your arm awkwardly, "Um... soOoo what's the plan again?"

Jade lifted her head and bomped it against the steer wheel again. This time letting off a beep from the SUV, "How about we go die in a hole where no one can find us?"

After you didn't give much of a reaction, she rolled her eyes, "Well, obviously we have to go chaaase him down. AGAIN. Why'd you even ask?"

...Again? She's done this before?

And yes, she was sassy. But you needed to focus on the task at hand here so you tried your best to disregard her comments.

"...Well, do you know where they took him?"

"You ask the worst questions, Captain Obvious."

You narrowed your eyes at her as she put the SUV into drive and you buckled your seat belt.

"Let's get this over with so you can go swoon over him some more."

"Wh-buh---whAT?"

The gray fox looked at you as she turned out of the parking lot. "You heard me."
