4 years after chief Martinez's first encounter with Cooper

I was called to the scene of two nasty accidents on Route 4. My arm has long since healed from the bite, and I have also long since gotten a new pistol for the one I left behind on the interstate.

I drove at 40 miles per hour, which is the minimum speed limit. Now the reason I wasn't hurrying to the scene was because I did not want to anger Cooper and have another near death encounter with him. I came to the bridge, but there was no Labrador retriever to be found, so I kept going until I saw the accident scene.

I put on my left directional and pulled off to the median, I then put my car in par and shut off the left directional after putting on the hazard flashers. I got out of the car and walked to the 5 cruiser pileup, dreadful at the idea of what I would find.

I then saw an officer lying on the ground, writhing in pain.

"The hell happened here?" I asked.

"We were coming to the scene of the reported accident, but there was a dog in the road. I tried to stop, but my brakes locked in place and I skidded into the lab, causing it to go under my cruiser and be sent under the other cruisers. The cruisers are skidded into the median. The others were killed in the pileup. But I got out in time." The officer answered weakly.

"What happened then?" I asked worriedly. I looked toward the bridge, remembering my own encounter with the undead dog.

"I got up, and I saw the white Labrador retriever's body stand up. It's right eye socket caved in on itself, exposing some brains and dark green tissue. The skin behind the nose peeled, revealing more dark green tissue. I saw parts of the dog's tail fall off. It's teeth then become boney needles, a mysterious black flecked yellow material wrapped itself around the teeth. The eyes also swelled up to the size of orbs, they also turned completely black and gave off a look of lifelessness. Then more teeth appeared until there were too many to count." The officer replied, regaining more bearings.

I could see the officer's was covered in small bite marks, and parts of the bone looked chipped. The denim surrounding it was completely torn off. The lower half of the officer's arm had been bitten off, the stub of the upper half had a fragmented piece of bone sticking out, the red tissue was covered by hardened pus, pus and a dark green fluid dripped out of the tight hole around the bone. I put two and two together and came to the conclusion that Cooper caused the brakes of the cruisers to lock up, and he also bit the officer in the knee, then bit his arm off because of his fast driving.

I ran to the car, opened the trunk, then took a spare roll of bandages.

I ran back over to the officer and bandaged his knee and the stub of his arm. I then rushed him to my cruiser and sat him down and buckled him into the buck seat. I then rushed to the hospital. I rushed because I knew that the officer had already scared Cooper off, so I didn't need to worry about him.

I made it to the hospital and brought the officer inside, I then had him sent immediately to the emergency room for surgery.

I then walked out to the car and drove back for Route 4.
