Stuck Together

Several hours later, Daffy arrived back to the warehouse with Crusher hard grip on his arms as he opened the garage door and immediately threw him in like he was a pile of garbage to be disposed of. 

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't shove me!" Daffy angrily yelled out as the door closed behind him with Crusher laughing at his rage with his wife.

 When the two left, Daffy then got up from the ground, irritated.  

"Ugh. I hate that Neanderthal-shaped head man" Daffy grumbled as wiped off some of the dirt that had gotten all over him.

The nerve of some people. He thought shaking his head as he turned around and sees Bugs, who was sleeping in a miserable position and quickly walked over to him to wake him up.

"Bugs." Daffy called out softly while nudging him for a bit until he finally stirred and opened his eyes slowly. 

His body turned to Daffy and he spoke in a groggy voice. 

"Daffy?" Bugs asked, confused while looking on at him. 

He couldn't tell if this was a dream or if it was real.

After a few seconds of internally judging his mental state of mind, Bugs then slowly begin to widen his eyes as the realization finally dawns on him.

He's Alive! Oh thank the carrot god he's still here. he thought as the two sat up levelly on their knees with Bugs now frantically checking Daffy for any signs of injuries.

"Are you okay?! They didn't hurt you did they?" Bugs asked in a panic.

Daffy's face then changed to a concern expression when he noticed how anxious and panicked Bugs must have gotten judging by the red puffy eyes that were severely swollen on his face.

He too must have been worried sick as well.

It made Daffy's heart drop fast to the pit of his stomach.

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Have I really been gone that long? Daffy thought as he grabbed ahold of Bug's hands in an attempt to try to calm him down.

"Bugs, Bugs, its okay. I'm fine. They just needed me for the combination numbers that's all. I...I had to lie to Mr. Leghorn to get them. He probably hates me right now for using our friendship as an advantage to help Carol steal those documents. I guess I really am just a failure that anyone would seem to have known about me" Daffy said looking down as he rubs his arm in disappointment.

Bugs then looked up at him sadly, his eyes starting to water up fast.

All this time, he was so alone and afraid.

He was scared and somehow thought the worst.

 It had frightened him to know what could have happened if he wasn't here beside him right now.

His body then started to shake violently, his lips quivered in distress.

The tears that had edged to the rim of his eyes, were now running down his face like a waterfall as he immediately pulled Daffy close and wrapped his arms around his neck in a tight embrace, his face buried into Daffy's neck.

"I... thought I lost you." Bugs sobbed shakily as Daffy's fur begin to damp with his tears.

Daffy froze in an instant, his face bright red.

He then sighed and returned the hug, his arms wrapped around Bugs's waist in a secure hold.

"I told you we'll be okay. Didn't I? Don't worry, I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere" Daffy asked softly, chuckling a little at the bitter reality that they were facing.

After a while, Daffy was going to release him from the hug until he heard his voice. 

"Daffy? C...can we just stay like this for a little while longer? I don't want to let go right now." Bugs pleaded. 

Daffy's heart raced fast and his face was burning red quick. 

It reminded him of the time when he wanted to hug him after he thought that he had lost Bug's friendship for good when he changed Rodney's fate of meeting him in a time portal, causing Bugs not to remember who he was as a result. 

It had almost shattered his heart completely, knowing full well that he took their friendship for granted. 

He smiled a little and tighten his hug to him. 

"Sure I'd like that more than anything else." Daffy mumbled softly as the two continued to hold onto each other in comfort.

While that happened, Blacque Jacque Shellacque, who had just come back to Foghorn Leghorn mansion after last witnessing Crusher throwing Daffy into the hostage cell, decided to update his client on Carol's whereabouts and her actions to not only the company, but also to Daffy and his friend that she held captive as well.

He was now in the private office meeting where he sat in a chair in front of Foghorn's desk to elaborate his report so far and wanted to hear his client's opinion first before he made his next approach on the situation at hand. 

"Now I say, hold up just a minute Mr. Shellacque. First you're telling me that Daffy was capable of stealing from me and now it was actually Carol's doing? Explain please." Foghorn Leghorn said frustrated, while rubbing his head from all of this mess that was giving him a headache. 

After Shellacque told his side of the story and what he thought happened, Foghorn stood up and slammed his hands on his desk outraged.

"You mean to tell me that she swindled all of the company's money and you let her get away with that?! Well I say that you get your little butt back over there right now while I think of a way to handle this mess." Foghorn said as he started to dial some numbers on his office phone. 

"And how will you do that sir? What are you doing to do?" Shellacque asked curiously. 

"What does it look I'm doing? I'm calling the cops and a good professional security crew to let them know who is the real thief is. I'll make sure that I have that good for nothing woman arrested. And to think that I might even offer that conniving witch her job back. Tuh! But, boy was I wrong. Now go and get them out of that warehouse immediately before something else happens to them." Foghorn orders as he held up the phone to his ears and started to talk politely to the receiving line when a faint voice spoke. 

'911 what's your emergency?' the voice asked. 

"This is Foghorn Leghorn, may I speak to the chief  in charge of the police department? I have some very urgent matters that I need to discuss." Foghorn addressed.

'one moment please'  the voice replied as Foghorn tries to dismiss Shellacque off with his hand while waiting for the call on hold. 

"Yes of course. Right away Monsieur Leghorn." Shellacque said in an anticipated thick French accent as he leaves the office room and heads on home to gather up some supplies for Bugs and Daffy's escape plan.
