Super Kitty chapter 2

It had been a few weeks, and George Sr and his family were having breakfast. Brooke was really worried, Strong Bear had been trying to step it up at notch. Strong Bear has been increasing his robberies. The task force were getting tired and exhausted. They had him a few times but he would some how wiggle free. Brooke was trying to get George to stay home that day, she had a bad feeling. George says ,"Brooke, I know how you feel but it's my job and responsibility to protect Animal City." Brook gets up and walks the dirty dishes over to the sink, "I know and I love you for that. But that does not mean I have to like it." George comes over and holds Brooke for several minuets. George Jr was use to seeing the love they shared. "I will take George to school today," his father says. George likes when his dad takes him to school, they have had great conversations about school and George Sr makes him feel very happy and proud of what he was doing in school and has a great father to look up to, makes George want to be like his father more and more every conversation!
            However this time they talked about something different. They were talking about Strong Bear and the task force to stop him. The more they talked the more George gets worried for his father safety. They talked about life and death, Strong Bear had killed a few police recently, and the differences between good and evil. They also talked about the law. After the conversation there was one thing that stuck out in his mind all day, George Sr said, "No matter what happens, just know that I will always watch over you rather it be here beside you or up in the great beyond of the sky. I will always be with you." 
          George thought about their conversation all day but those last words played over and over in his mind all day.His day was pretty good until the afternoon. George gets called down to the office. He is told the news that his dad had responded to a call of a warehouse robbery. Strong Bear was there and there was only two cops called to the store. The T.A.S.K. force was off for the  day to recover so it was his dad and another police officer who answered the call. His dad was slammed into a support beam to the warehouse surrounded by glass cases, the roof collapsed on him. The other police officer tried to save him but Strong Bear came up from behind and broke his back. They didn't even know if he would make through the night. George was in shock. He left and went home to his mother. They cried all evening.
            The police cleared the debris from the roof the next day and didn't find George Sr, they did find some blood. But it appears that he was crushed but they found no body. After several days of searching they made the call he was dead. The other officer whose back was broke died the next morning after the attack. It was a very bad week for Animal City. They lost two of the best cops and most loved. The police station had a plaque for police who died in the line of duty, was not a long list but they added two more names to it. They were given the highest honors for the police they both got a ten gun salute at their funeral. The funerals were done together and it was a nice ceremony. A lot of people turned out for it. It was like the whole Animal City was grieving for the fallen police. After George's death captain Henry stopped the T.A.S.K. force. He did not want to loose more cops. 
         The next few weeks went by like a blur for George, the pain of losing his father made him quiet and very closed off. George only spoke to Swift but not very often.  His grades started to slip and he hardly ate even his football was suffering.  He was getting bad shape and every night he would look out his window and speak to his dad and repeat his words every night. Than one night while George was sleeping he had a dream about his father. His father said it would be alright he was in a better place and George needs to help his mother and himself. He needs to heal and follow his dreams.
            After the dream George put all his focus on helping his mother and graduating. George started doing extra credit and bringing his grades back  up, started talking to Swift more. He tried to become the cat he was before his fathers death and Swift and him both still wanted to be cops. He also wanted to stop Strong Bear more than ever before. They continued training everyday and some nights. During their senior year a few weeks before graduation George felt different, he felt stronger and faster. All of their races up to this point Swift had won. He was getting faster and faster but for the first time George beat Swift in a race.
