The room was silent as the members of the Zootopia Police Department sat down and looked at the projector screen. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde sat in the front row. They watched as Chief Bogo walked in, and played the recorded news reports.

The first news clip was from a Wednesday at 2:35 pm. Two reporters, a female snow leopard and a male moose came on the screen.

The snow leopard started "Breaking news in Zootopia. This morning, exactly one year after former assistant mayor Bellwether was arrested for conspiring against the city, a pig was attacked by a wolf, who's erotic behavior appears to be symptomatic of the effects of the night howler serum."

The moose continued "This just in, a giraffe was arrested around noon today for attacking a group of lunch goers at a local café. When evaluated by health officials it was found that he also showed signs of savage behavior and is now in quarantine with the wolf who was arrested this morning. This would be the first ever case of a non predatory animal going savage."

The second clip was from a week later. The same reporters appeared.

"Breaking news, three more animals were arrested yesterday for savage behavior."

"Also, animals that have already been imprisoned for savagery are escaping from their cells and disappearing to an unknown location."

The third clip.

"After many citizens reporting a strange smell spreading throughout the city, the air has been tested and it has been found that the wind has carried a strong vapor form of the original night howler serum all over Zootopia."

"The old therapy used to cure last year's outbreak has proven ineffective in treating effected animals."

"Predators, omnivores, and herbivores all over the city have been infected with the new serum."

"This just in, the savageness is now spreading through bites and scratches. Many who have been attacked are now being effected themselves."

The screen then went black, and Chief Bogo turned on the lights.

"All right," he said as everyone brought their attention back to him. "I think that wraps up all the details. Now… as for assignments for today, most of you will be posted around the city for look out. A select few of you will take position outside city hall. Citizens are starting to panic, and things are getting crazy. Hopps and Wilde, I want you two posted at city hall. Along with…"

While Bogo continued, Nick leaned over towards Judy and whispered "He seems to be in worse mood than usual."

"I don't blame him, considering the circumstances. All he's trying to do is protect the city," she whispered back.

"I guess he did give us a more interesting post. I'm ready to see some action."

Judy quietly scolded "Wishing for more savage attacks? Shame on you!"

"Hey, I'm just saying. We haven't gotten see much action since that wool smuggling bust. And don't tell me you haven't been bored too."

Judy let out a sigh and said "Okay. I guess things have been a little slow for us, but…"

They were interrupted by the chief.

"Hopps, Wilde, be quiet! Anyway…"

Judy continued "…but to be honest I feel kind of lucky that we've been off the field lately. Didn't you hear about officer Delgado? He's still in critical condition after getting in the way of that boar."

"I heard he broke all his ribs and has a collapsed lung."

"Where did you hear tha…"

"Hopps! Wilde! Since you seem so content with chatting the hours of the day away, why don't you two have a little chat with me in my office?! The rest of you, get to your posts immediately. Dismissed."

Bogo then stomped out of the room with Hopps and Wilde quietly trailing him at a distance. They both silently glanced at each other as they marched towards the office. When they had arrived, the chief flung open the door and stalked inside with the two officers behind him. He sat down with a long, drawn out sigh. Judy and Nick sat down in front of his desk.

"Why is it that every time I have to tell someone to be quiet, be serious, or pay attention, it seems to be directed towards you two?!"

Judy tried to speak "Sir, I…"

"That question was rhetorical, Hopps. Now, you have proven yourself as a worthy cop. I'll give you that. But you, Wilde, still need to learn that this is a job and not some play date. It's time for you to shape up…" he pointed at the fox.

"…or you just might find yourself in unemployment."

Clawhauser suddenly beeped in on the phone.

"Uuh, Chief Bogo?"

"What is it Clawhauser," he said with an irritated gruff.

"J…jagna Reed is here to see you."

"What?! Why is she here," he demanded.

"She says it's very important, sir. D…do you have a moment?"

"No! Send her away," Bogo growled as Judy and Nick glanced nervously at each other.

"S…sir, please! She's giving me that look," Clawhauser whimpered.

"Then call security," he said, then beeped out.

Clawhauser just beeped back in and whined "But she's scary."

"I said no, Clawhauser!" He beeped out again.

Clawhauser beeped in once more. "PLEEEEAAAAASE!"

Judy and Nick look at each other with confused looks.

"FINE! All right! Send her in!"

"Thank you, sir."

Chief Bogo beeped out for the last time and let out a heavy sigh as he let his face fall into his palms.

Nick finally spoke. "Who's Jagna Reed?"

"She's no one!"

Before long, a smaller, female, cape buffalo peeped her head in through the door. She glanced around and said softly, "Is this a bad time?"

Bogo looked up at her and scoffed.

"Just hurry up and tell me what you want, Jagna. I know you don't care if I'm busy."

"You're right. I really don't care," she said, letting her once seemingly quiet nature fade away. She came in and stood in front of his desk with a stern look on her face.

"What do you want, Jagna?"

"Bogo… I need your help," she said reluctantly.

"Tough luck. I'm busy."

"Please. Before you send me away, at least hear me out." She soberly sat in a chair in front of Bogo's desk, and waited for his reply.

All the chief could muster was a slow, irritated sigh. They sat in silence for a short moment until officer Hopps spoke.

"Sir? Should we leave you two alone?"

"No. You two stay right where you are," he said and then looked back at Jagna. "Go on, woman. Spit it out."

"You're well aware of the savagery that's plagued this city. Predators, omnivores and herbivores have all been affected…"

"And the serum has been turned into vapors, and the savageness can be spread through bites. We've all heard the story. Now what exactly is your point," Bogo said as he crossed his arms.

Jady asked the female buffalo "Ma'am. Are you here to report another missing mammal?"

"No. I'm to report two things. First, an attack. Second, that I've found a new cure."

Judy and Nick looked at each other with their eyes wide and their mouths hanging open. Chief Bogo just laughed.

"And why have you come here to report this."

He abruptly stopped laughing and said "You should be reporting this to the Zootopia Health Department!"

"I highly doubt anyone would believe me except you!"

"And why is that?!"

Jagna was quiet for a moment. A sad look suddenly grew on her face, and the chief felt his stomach clench.

"Bogo," she said with a voice full of remorse.

"Three years ago I was framed for something I didn't do. I was sued and lost my doctor's license, but luckily I wasn't prosecuted for anything. My hospital was shut down shortly after."

The chief didn't know what to do or say. A wave of pity his him right in the chest, but he couldn't let go of his composer. Not in front of Jagna.

Judy could see that he was contemplating something. Nick just continued to stare at the two, with his mouth still gaping open.

The fox thought "What exactly is the history between these two? This is getting really intense!"

Finally, Bogo spoke "How do you know that this cure of yours works?"

"I've tested it."

"You don't have a license anymore, Jagna! I should arrest you! Who did you test it on?!"

"I tested it on myself," she said as she rolled up her sleeve to reveal her forearm wrapped in bandages.

Chief Bogo's eyes shot up at the sight of her injury. Judy looked at her with concern, but then it suddenly hit her.

"What if she's infected?!"

It crossed her mind that they could be in danger. She put her hand on her elephant tazer, so that she would be ready if anything happened. She looked at the chief, who was still staring at Jagna's bandages.

Judy spoke for him "Do you realize that you could be putting people in danger by not going to a hospital?! How do you know your cure has REALLY worked?! How long have you been treating yourself?!"

"I've been treating myself for almost a month. According to what I've heard on the news, it takes a bitten victim a week to go savage. My treatment consists of one vaccine every day for two weeks. The only problem is that it slows down your immune system and delays the healing process. That's why it's taken my wound so long to heal even just a little."

"We still don't know for sure," Bogo said as he stood from his chair.

"There's nothing I can do to help you, Jagna. You need to go to a hospital and have yourself looked at."

"Bogo, you don't understand!"

"Yes I do! You're trying to protect the city. I know. But you are not going about this the right way. If you wanted to help you should have gotten your license back before experimenting on yourself," he said carefully.

"No one would give me back my license! Not after what happened!"

Chief Bogo looked at her with sincere eyes that Judy and Nick had never seen before.

"I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do to help you."

Jagna was almost in tears as she said "Fine. You did hear me out. I thank you for that."

She turned to go out the door, but stopped before she could reach it.

"Goodbye, Bogo. You'll never have to see me again."

With that, she left. The chief slowly sunk down back into his chair and put his elbows on his desk. He pinched the bridge of his snout and rubbed his itching eyes. He then looked at Hopps and Wilde.

"Now, where were we?"

"You were threatening to fire me, sir," Nick said.

"Right. Anyway, if you don't…"

Nick interrupted him "If I may, sir, who was she?"

"I told you she was no one, Wilde!"

The fix tried to speak again, but before he could, Judy put a paw over his mouth.

"Sir, surely she was somebody. It seemed like you two knew each other pretty well."

"It isn't important, Hopps."

Nick struggled under her grasp, trying to catch a breath as she spoke "Well, I think we should at least look into this. What if her cure really works?"

Bogo let out one last sigh and said "Tell you what, Hopps. I'll sleep on it."

Nick finally escaped from Judy and let out a dramatic gasp.

"Both of you report to City Hall. I'll let you know after roll call tomorrow morning. Dismissed."

"Thank you, sir," Judy said with a smile.
