Redolence had enough of this false "moral high ground" behavior. If words would not get a response, then actions would!
"Suit yourself. Just remember... I gave you a chance."

With sudden swiftness, she swung a kick right for the Rabbot's hip!

xOBtYX4F Side-stepping the attack, Bunnie snatched the lawyer by the leg and used her own momentum to swing her into the ground. "And I warned ya'll to leave me the hell alone!" she spat. The thrusters in her feet lit up, and Bunnie tore off running down the street.

'Wasn't Emerald Town supposed to be a pretty quiet spot?'
Blues' mind didn't so much race as it did muse the idea. He'd been assigned to patrol the beat in lieu of a colleague taking a particularly long sick leave. Apparently, it left such a gap that it was drawing reserves from the Casino Night District-- perhaps not unjustly so, as he'd already received a dispatch order about a reckless driver that seemed to escalate into street violence. Following the trail of motorized chaos quickly led to an altercation in progress between a... pretty colorful pair of characters. With jet boots involved? If the rest of the island was as absurd as this, maybe 'normal' as a concept was just relative.
A few yards from the fight, a police car skid to a halt with its lights blaring, and the driver emerged-- a donkey, sporting a fair-weather uniform that neatly matched the blue of his own fur. He pausing for a moment to try and register what was what and who needed help, but it didn't take a detective's eye to see who was the aggressor here.
"HEY!" He barked at the two of them, brandishing a baton that went clanging against a lamp post for effect. "Police! Break it up!"

Redolence slowly managed to get herself off of the ground but felt her ears perk up at the commanding voice emanating behind her. She slowly turned around to see the Uniformed Donkey. She was still a bit wobbly from the throw down, but she felt something strange. Between the Rabbot encounter and now this officer of the law, she couldn't help but feel excited. With her trademark smile returned to her face, she dusted herself off to appear presentable and then approached him, her once calm collected mannerisms now returned.
"Well... hello there officer. Aren't you quite the welcome sight." She said coyly and approaching him slowly. "Upholding Justice I see? How Noble."

The officer's demeanor only barely relaxed when one of the two fled, and the other started to cozy up to him like a throw pillow. Something between a groan and a sigh parted his lips-- more paperwork-- when an assortment of warm colors quickly filled his peripheral vision. His eyes turned to her (eyes?) and for what seemed like a few good seconds, he was staring right through her, as unimpressed as he could force himself to appear.
"Sure is," he finally replied, before motioning to his vehicle with his neck. His eye contact didn't waver. "I'm gonna need you in the back of the car."

Upon hearing those words, she tried to feign shock and dismay, but seemed to be having trouble trying to hide her excitement. For some bizarre reason that even she herself didn't understand, she had a thing for riding in the back of police cars. She tried her best to remain calm and (relatively) sane.
"Oh my. What... whatever could you mean? Am I a... suspeeeeect in a... criiiime? Are you going to arrest meeeee?" She suddenly found herself holding her hands up to her cheeks, somewhat flustered. "But I'm so slippery. You might not be able to catch me!" She suddenly thrust her arms out in front of her with fists clenched, the way one would in preparation of being handcuffed.
Nope. It was clear as day her desire to get into the back of that car was too much that she couldn't keep her composure.

For a moment, Blues' breath became stale in his chest. 'Oh cripes,' he thought. 'She's just getting off on this.' If Redolence was trying to throw him off guard, it was working. It didn't readily show beyond his tightened jawline, but this chick was just making him uncomfortable in ways he wasn't prepared for-- somehow he would've much preferred the fistfight he thought he was walking into.
*k-chak*
Of course, it wasn't going to stop him from doing his job. A nice cold pair of handcuffs snapped themselves onto her wrists, and with perhaps an oddly placed sense of relief, Blues was already behind her with a hand on her back, pushing her towards the car doors and the flashing lights above them. The other hand pushed his pocket radio to his mouth. "This is Crawford, responding," he began. "No sign of the vehicle, but it looks like a street fight took place. Got one perp in custody, heading to the station. Another fled the scene, headed south."
His thumb left the radio's button. "I'd read you your rights, but I think you already know them. Being a demon lawyer and all."

Whatever commotion had been going on outside the store had gone utterly ignored by the crimson metallix as he pointed out number after number from the menu sign above the counter. The terrified clerk behind the register simply obeyed, scooping spoonfuls of ice cream onto a twincone while the rest of the customers huddled by the far walls, trying to keep as far away from the completely oblivious robot. Upon receiving his rainbow colored confection RK spun about, giving a wave and walking to the door, not even considering paying. He wasn’t interested in eating it…well he was, but given he lacked a mouth that wasn’t much of an option. Instead he stared in complete awe at the frozen treat in his metal hand, so consumed was his attention as he swung the door open and stepped out into the street that he didn’t even notice the rabbit girl rocketing in his direction.

Bunnie hadn't noticed the metallix in her way either, having been preoccupied with making certain that crazy lawyer chick hadn't been chasing after her. With a cry of surprise she collided with RK, his frozen treat flying up into the air. The grating clang of metal against metal rang out into the air, and the next thing Bunnie realized was that there was something wet and cold sitting on her head. "Shoot, shoot, shoot, dagnabbit..." Bunnie muttered under her breath, wondering what the hell she'd just crashed into. Her eyes looked up and met with a pair of emerald colored digital eyes. She yelped and skidded back onto her rump a couple of feet away from the metallix.

The world spun about RK as he flailed desperately to try and save his ice cream, only to collide with the pavement and lose sight of it. Scrapping himself up, his limbs whirring as his systems tried to recover and check for any malfunctions the echidna looking robot glanced up only to meet a pair of wide eyes before the girl infront of him screamed and shuffled away from him. RK tilted his head. What was her problem? What knocked him over? Her? She didn’t look strong enough to knock –him- down. Then he saw it. Sat upon Bunnie’s head was his ice cream, upturned with all the bright vibrant colors oozing into one another as they soaked into her tawny colored fur. “…It was innocent…” He muttered, his voice coming out with a slight reverberating echo.

Redolence sat inside the car and tried her best not to say anything that would get her into more trouble (despite the fact she actually wanted to be in more trouble) and sat deep in thought. For what it was worth, she was content but somewhat troubled. Thinking back on fighting the Rabbot she met earlier, she'd realized one thing: no matter what she did to provoke or bait her into a situation she could manipulate to reveal her guilt, the Rabbot showed restraint: the kind that someone with no guilt, conviction or crimes to their name would show. Perhaps she had made a mistake in her judgement and the Rabbot truly was innocent. If that was the case, then she would need to make it up to this Rabbot, no matter what.
Regardless of what she would do in the future on her quest to make it up to the Rabbot (assuming she got out of the car or prison first), there was only one word of wisdom she could think of at that time. Something that always came to mind when put into positions of arrest. Something to express how she truly felt about where she was.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" She yelled out while rocking back and forth in the car, like an excitable child.

So much for passing the time with idle conversation. A moment passed before opening the driver's seat door where Blues peered up at the sky, as if to ask whatever deity chose this fate for him for a moment of respite, however brief. But crime never sleeps, and evidently, neither did... babysitters?
He slid his baton into his belt, and his keys into the ignition, and drove off towards the Emerald Town station. It seemed like he was boarding a harmless loonie, or a psychotic criminal mastermind whose fatal sneak attack he'd never see coming-- maybe a bomb under his seat planted days beforehand. 'Que sera sera,' he thought. Either way, he had a job to do.

Bunnie sat there frozen as she stared at the metallix. One of Eggman's robots? here? In a quiet little place like Emerald Town? Realizing that'd been heaving her breath, the rabbot quickly climbed back up to her feet. In an instant, she's grabbed her cellphone and was in the process of calling the authorities. "Whatever.. whatever you'n Eggman think ya'll are doing here... ya'll better just get!" she said.

…what? “Ya'll.” Was that English? And better get what? Maybe this girl was a robot too and the ice cream was making her malfunction. She had some metal parts so maybe her insides were robot too. That was it! The ruby metallix hauled himself to his feet, metal scratching on pavement as he did a quick scan. Everything seemed normal…for him anyway. “Okay chica, I got this. Usually I’d just vamoose outta here since you killed my icecream buzz but I’ma be a nice guy and get ya repaired, kay? Do you remember who built you?” As he asked, RK lifted a hand to scratch one of his knife-like knuckle-spikes at his head, making a terrible scratching sound as he mimicked someone pondering. “Course the best dude I know with machines is the Doc. Might be better takin’ ya to him.”

Redolence stuck her nose through the grating made for keeping the officer safe from whoever was in the back. It always fascinated her what was in a police vehicle: The police radio, the police dashboard, the police taser that may or may not be used on her some time in the future. Even the smells were somewhat intriguing as she sniffed repeatedly. What fascinated her the most was the men and women in uniform: people who commanded respect, despite the fact that for the most part she actually didn't do anything along the lines of respectful behavior at all. Never the less, she felt this urge to just converse with the Donkey Cop.
"So... you been at this long?" She asked in a friendly tone. "Or are you... new to this?"

Contrary to his fiery tag-along, Blues was largely stoic in the face of Redolence's behavior, save for a quiet "hey, knock it off" and a quick shoo-away motion when her nose got too close for comfort. For the most part, his eyes stayed on the road, off the rear view mirror and the looks of confused pedestrians they swiftly left behind.
Still, Redolence may have noticed his brow perk in that same mirror with her query to him. "Could ask the same of you," he replied, quick to deflect the line of questioning. "I don't know many attorneys to start fist-fights with civilians, let alone cyborgs." His answer heralded a brief rest as an incoming red light slowed them down, and he turned his neck to her for the first time. "We got a call for a reckless driver who's vehicle is long gone. Just what the hell happened there?"

As the 911 operator answered, Bunnie found herself only able to stare at the metallix in disbelief. "Ah don't need no repairs, ya gosh darned ninny, and I don't wanna see Eggman!" she sputtered. It was only after as a second pause that she realized the phone practically dangling in her hand. She turned her focus too it, refusing to take her eyes off of RK. "Yea, there's onea Eggman's 'bots here in downtown Emerald Town causin' a ruckus!"

Redolence put a hand to her chin and rubbed it a little. What actually DID happen? All she saw was an opportunity to beat up some thug rabbit or to get them incarcerated horribly, but on her thinking back to the fight between them, she showed no ill will or need to harm: just someone trying to avoid conflict and move on with their day. Maybe it was an act... or maybe they were legitimate. Whatever the case, she responded.
"Well firstly, the battleground of a lawyer is always the courtroom! It's not my fault if I take that literally and punch someone in the face with my evidence in the process! Secondly, I was PRETTY kinda sorta 82% sure she was a criminal who liked smashing cars for no reason... Well, 72%... Ok fine! 60% tops. I thought it best to do my civic duty and ask questions later! If it gets me arrested, then I gladly accept!"
And she really meant 'gladly'.

As Bunnie glared the red metallix down his head sloooowly tilted to the side, letting out an agonising metallic scraping sound as he just stared back at her. Behind his optics he scanned her robotic limbs as best he could but the tech seemed almost completely different to anything he knew. He could recognise some of it but… Shaking his head, causing a whirring noise, RK’s digital eyes trailed up to the melted ice cream still sat proudly atop the rabbit’s head. “…You gonna eat that?”

"Your civic duty is to call the cops," spat Blues, rather suddenly. It was all too evident in his tone that she'd managed to pinch a nerve of sorts, but he seemed to calm down just as quickly. The street lights turned green, and with a shift in his shoulders and a prolonged snort, they drove forward. "You'll prolly do better off pleading insanity, anyway," he muttered... mostly to himself.
But before any awkward silence or banter could occur, the radio on his dashboard broke its silence.
"--ports of an Eggman robot attacking an ice cream shop in south Emerald Town..."
There was a brief moment of almost palpable silence where Blues stared at the receiver in disbelief, before finally shaking it off, promptly changing lanes before tearing off the receiver. "Yeah, this is Crawford responding. Do we have an address?"

<"Suspect is currently known to be at 1991 Needlemouse St."> the voice over the intercom answered. "... What?" Bunnie's eyes went cross as she tried to look up at the cone sitting proudly on her head like a cap. "No I ain't gonna eat it," she said, grabbing the cone off and attempting to wipe some of the melting ice cream from her head. "What kinda cockamaney question is that?"

Redolence seemed a bit taken aback by his sudden reaction. It was clear she was getting to him but she couldn't help it. She found his authoritative presence enticing. She tried her best to keep it in check as she listened to the radio announcement. Wasn't the location being described by the intercom close to where she met the Rabbot? Perhaps she could make her amends this way. Yes, clearly this was a sign of redemption and forgiveness she needed! Or maybe the fall she took earlier scrambled her brains. Regardless, she had only one choice, even though she loathed to part with the strapping Police officer: Escape!
For the time being however, she'd play along and bide her time. She leaned into the bars once more to converse.
"I'm sorry, I touched a nerve. I just admire what you do, that's all. I s'pose I do get a bit full of myself and try to fight 'crime' when I shouldn't."
She paused for a moment and pulling her grin once more.
"I know! We'll go together to that disturbance in progress as a team! I'll be your (very incredibly attractive) sidekick! We'll call ourselves... the League of Legality!"

Blues was caught between sighing and just expelling air for a few good seconds before he spoke up. It was kind of a strain on his conscience playing bad cop with someone who seemed so... oblivious to things. He wasn't great with kids, and even less experienced with folks of Redolence's inclination, but it was worth a shot.
"Okay, tell you what," he began, already increasing speed. "I'm a cop, right? And that means..." He glanced behind at her for a moment, trying not to get distracted by the big toothy smile in his rear-view mirror. "That means I'm the strongest, and-- and bravest, and coolest, right? But no matter how great I am, I can only be in one place at a time." His eyes began darting towards street signs, calculating how close they were, and how much time he had left to convince his passenger.
"So I'm gonna go check out what's going on there with the badnik, and I'm gonna trust you to investigate this whole general area except for the front seat, okay? And if you do good, I'll even get you an ice cream while I'm there!"

At the cyborg rabbit’s inquiry RK found himself franticly looking around as if he were about to be caught doing something he shouldn’t. “You said a bad word!” He exclaimed, waggling a finger at her. “You talk like that, you’re gonna get your wires scrubbed in antifreeze!” And he let that line just…hang in the air…Before sloooowly reaching towards her like a cat who thinks if they move slow enough noone will notice, aiming his metallic claw for the cone atop Bunnie’s head.

"Said a bad... what?" Bunnie glanced away, momentarily taken aback by what the metallix had said. It wasn't enough that she couldn't figure out what she'd said that would be considered a 'bad' word, it was the fact this robot would even care in the first place. When she finally looked back she saw the pair off claws coming toward her. She gasped, her fur frizzing with adrenaline, and on instinct she grabbed RK by the arm and judo flipped him into the sidewalk. "YA'LL KEEP YER MITS OFFA ME!"

Redolence's stubby tail wagged a little. Not only was her plan in motion working, but she was getting ice cream out of it too! She felt a little bad for trying to play this cop to her advantage because in the short time she knew him, he seemed like a decent fellow. She fashioned herself as the judge, jury and executioner of reading people. To keep things running smoothly though, she decided to act out her usual mannerisms with a salute and a puffed out chest.
"I'll make you proud of me, sir!" She said with the respect a law officer should receive.
So the plan was set and she made a mental note of all the details: Get to the scene of the disturbance, Find the Rabbot, make things up to her again, become best friends, get back in car and stare at handsome cop! Foolproof plan!
...except she forgot about the cuffs. Plan B: Get to crime, find Rabbot, THEN pick the lock on the cuffs, Make up, be friends, back in car, stare at cop! Perfect!

The world spun about RK as his sensors assaulted his heads up display with warnings about loss of footing and equilibrium. The sudden hard impact of the pavement caused his system to momentarily flicker before he realised he was now lying horizontally. That was…cool! Immediately he tried to push himself up to a sit. “That was most radical! How’d you make everything spin like that? You’re crazy strong, dudette. Respect” Staring up at the cyborg Bunnie girl the crimson metallix couldn’t help but detect a warming sensation in his processor. ‘Was this love?’ he thought…before his scanners confirmed that the impact had momentarily disabled one of his cooling fans.

Sooner than later, Blues found himself around the corner the scene of the crime. He hoped he'd park a healthy enough distance from it to keep the would-be vigilante in his backseat from getting involved and hurting herself, but her cuffs were still on and her doors were still locked, so what could possibly go wrong? Without a moment lost, he offered one last glance at his passenger before slamming the driver side door shut, moving towards the entrance. But when he got a good look at the area, there was a short list of the things he could hardly believe.
1. Hey, there's the perp from before. 2. She just tossed the reported badnik over her shoulder with an ice cream cone on her head. 3. That was not an ordinary badnik.
One of a few hot tips Blues picked up on his academy days was that Eggman robots were often times far more dangerous than their simple appearances implied, and special care should be taken to handle them. One note above that however, was that if you happened to see a robot shaped like Sonic the Hedgehog or one of his buddies, let alone the guardian of the Master Emerald you wanted to turn the other direction until special forces arrive. And if there weren't civilians there to protect and serve, that might've been a course of action he'd consider. But in the back of his head, he wondered if Redolence had been right in her jump to assume this cyborg was trouble.
His hand snapped to the radio on his chest, adrenaline already going to work. "This is Crawford," he whispered sharply, a hint of doubt in his voice. "I'm gonna need backup here asap, the robot is the guardian. I repeat, it's modeled after the emerald guardian!"
The textbook made no mention of this particular situation, so he went with his gut instead. What could possibly go wrong?
"Hey!" There was Blues from behind the corner, with his gun trained on the badnik-- force of habit, knowing full-well it wouldn't so much as scratch its paint-job. "WIPD, back up from the robot!"

Bunnie shied back in a revolted manner as the metallix seemed to enjoy being tossed by her. She'd already been in the process of inching away from RK when she heard the officer cry out. Looking up, she threw her hands up as if to shield herself. "Gladly!"

Redolence blew a kiss to the cop. Her plan was perfectly working out so far, except for one slight snag that made her smile vanish quickly upon realization: The big flying red eyesore threatening the Rabbot. If this flying robo-mutt were to do something truly awful to the rabbot, she wouldn't be able to say sorry or worse... MAKE HER A NEW BEST FRIEND! She'd hoped to be a little more subtle about this, but she couldn't leave this to Blues entirely because despite her teasing, she'd grown really fond of him. It pained her to escape so quickly, but she had no choice.
Reaching into her hair, she pulled out a hairpin. She always managed to keep several because it kept her hair upright... and for obvious reasons she needed them to get her out of a jam, such as this one. Fiddling with the cuffs was one thing, but getting out of the car? Now that would either be time consuming or very loud and very messy.
Usually she'd have no problems with flying out of a window in a reckless and stupid manner, but she didn't want to do something reckless to annoy or upset Blues. She'd have to deal with the fact that he was on his own for now and that he'd need to hold off whatever the flying red squid headed freak was supposed to be while she came to his rescue.
