Sort of followup to https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45417975/ It's frustrating being happy with the colors in real life and then having to edit them considerably on the computer so they would be halfway decent

It had been hours of kicking and crying in vain in the dumpster, wriggling to get free, when finally someone walking down the alley found Eric. Upon opening the lid of the dumpster and seeing the bound, gagged and mostly naked male, the woman screamed, ran home and called authorities. On high alert due to being on the hunt for an escaped criminal rumored to have fled to the town, police took a few moments to spare two officers for the case ; the chief had an inkling that it might be linked to the bigger case at hand.

« I got robbed ! Please !! you've got to get my suit back !! » Eric babbled as soon as the officers pulled him out of the dumpster and took the gag out of his mouth.
« Oh you're from the convention next door ? No kidding, » the male officer noted, tired and already annoyed. « You know I can't wait till the townhall has had enough of these types of gathering. »
« B-but... »
« Sounds like another fursuit poaching case to me. Look kid, we've got enough on our plate without that sort of embarrassing nonsense. »
«JERK!! »
« Calm down ! » his partner intervened ; the word was addressed to Eric, but she then turned to her colleague.
« Mackey, we should take his report, » she whispered, « remember what the chief said, it might be linked to the manhunt. »
Then to Eric : « Describe your attacker please. »
« About t-tall as me... female, wolf, grey fur, dressed in an orange jumpsuit... »
The female cop smirked at her colleague.
« Jackpot. » And back to Eric, looking him up and down trying not to laugh : « You said she stole your costume sir? »
« Y-yeah, » he looked down mumbling, « She beat me up and when I came to, she was wearing it, » he sobbed.
« Describe your costume. »
« Blue husky, green feet and hands »
« There you go. »
She turned to make her call to the station.
« Rodger. This is officer Fenz. The victim we found was mugged by our escapee, she took a blue fursuit with green feet and hands from him and left him in a dumpster wearing only a pair of briefs... no it's not a joke. We got her, call back all units. We are going to the convention at [address], we are now looking for a blue husky costume with green feet and hands. Over. » Having hung up, she turns to her colleague.
« Okay Mackey, one of us should take the victim to safety while the other goes scouting around the convention. »
« Please let me do the latter... »
«I don't mind. Come sir, » she turns to Eric, « we'll get you to the station and you may file a formal complaint there... » then she adds, noticing he's getting awkward : « Unless you would prefer going in the car with him... »
The glare he meets in officer Mackey's eyes motivates him, and he quickly walks towards officer Fenz. She smiles ; the suggestion had really not been intended as a threat, as it was possible the poor guy would've felt less uncomfortable with another male. But if it still made things advance faster, it was just as well.
« Please don't do anything crazy without backup, » she slips to her colleague, before ushering the shivering Eric down the alley.
