Zach: I think we're all thinkin' of the same one purty much, right?
Vanna: The thing with Papa Hunter's squad car?
Zach: *Laughs* Yes, the thing with Pa's car! I still can't believe the rest of the boys at the station managed to pull that one off in less than a day!
Dorian: I'll give you that it was impressive. Funny on the other paw...
Zach: Funny to the rest of us anyway. *Cackles* Seriously, yer face when you opened the hood was priceless.
Vanna: We should...probably explain exactly what they did.
Zach: Oh yeah, so get this. The mammals at the station waited till Pa left his squad car at the station on one of his days off. Once they were sure Pa weren't comin' in, they called in a few of the local mechanics and have them bring their heavy duty tools along. After them boys set up a lil' workstation in the garage around where pa left his car, they spent the next few hours pullin' out every part of the engine, which the rest of the on duty officers helped move to storage temporarily.
Of course, the next day I carpool Pa into the station bright and early, and make sure me and Vanna are out of the station on patrol before the big reveal.
Vanna: It...might not of worked otherwise...
Zach: See, about a half hour after Pa settled in at his desk, one of the boys told him there was an emergency back at the ranch, and Ma needed him right away.
Dorian: O' course, with Zach out of the station...and with no inklin' that my boys would lie to me about somethin' so serious, I...ran right fer my cruiser...
Zach: And when he tried to start it, well you can guess how that went. *Chuckles*
Dorian: I...I'll admit, it really blindsided me. Just openin' up that hood and starin' into an empty chassis. At first, I was thinkin' somethin' was goin' wrong with my eyes, like I was startin' to go blind all the sudden. But after a few moments the whole...scene kinda set in...
Zach: And her turned just in time to catch purty much the entire police station watchin' him and tryin' to keep from snickerin' to loud...
Vanna: Not to mention taking a-lot of photos...
Zach: Again, priceless...
Dorian: Considerin' y'all had a day, and only four mechanics I mean...lookin' back it's purty impressive. Granted y'all had old Dave Boville fer most of the heavy liftin'.
Zach: Well he was the only mammal large and strong enough to pull the engine without using a crane, at least that's what they told me.
Dorian: Had it back together by the afternoon on the same day of the prank as well. And while I was purty sore about the whole thang, well...iffin' I'm bein' honest the ol' Sheriff's wagon has never run better than after that little stunt.
