"What do you mean I'm a prime suspect?!" I say to Officer Hopps who has her arms crossed and walking back and forth.

She shook her head at me, "You heard what I said Mr. Streak. You were the last one at the scene of the crime. Not to mention, we found your DNA on the victim."

I sighed heavily then groaned before Officer Wilde stepped in, "Easy there, Carrots. Let me handle this."

He looked at me then walked over to me with an arm around my neck, "Look buddy, I have a feeling you didn't do anything to the poor guy. However, I think you are withholding info from us that could help free your name."

I shook my head, "But I told you…I was packing up my dj equipment and when I came outside, I saw the girl there bruised and beaten. Why would I call the cops on myself? It doesn't make sense!"

They both looked at each other and sighed, "Very well. You are sure that's all you know?"

I nodded my head and Officer Wilde uncuffed me.

I left the police department and started my long walk home. On the way, I saw a couple guys trap someone in an alley and went to see what was going on.

I heard growling and went to find a lynx and a bear trapping a meerkat in an alley. All I heard were growls and roars before I heard the sound of screaming.

I ran to the alley and yelled, "Hey…get away from him!" They looked at me and began to slowly walk towards me. I quickly noticed that they were foaming at the mouth and their eyes were a golden yellow.

The bear lunged at me and I quickly dodged and tripped him. Then the lynx leapt after me but I was barely fast enough to dodge her. I recognized that lynx, she was an old friend of mine.

"Hannah! Listen to me, stop acting like this!"

She only growled more and her bear friend tried to leap at me from behind only for me to spin around and kick him away. However, when I did, that gave Hannah the perfect opportunity to scratch me on my back and bite my arm. I turned around and pushed her away and grabbed a metal pipe.

We walked around each other. I looked at the meerkat and nodded to get out which he did. I looked at Hannah and tightened my grip on the pipe.

She leapt at me again and this time I was ready as I swung and hit her in the side of her torso causing her to miss grabbing me.

She fell to the ground and didn't move. I dropped the pipe then fell to my knees feeling my injuries start to really sting.

I heard the sound of police sirens then turned around to see Officer Hopps with the meerkat and backup.

An ambulance was called, I got first aid which only was able to tend bruises, and yet again I was questioned by Hopps.

She brought me down to the station where I had to answer not only to her…but the chief, Nick, and the rest of the officers. "As you can see, we are facing the same problem we face 4 months ago. Only now, it seems to have only gotten worse."

I saw all the officers tilt their heads in confusion at me then I realized that I had my shirt on. I sighed and took off my shirt earning gasps and cringes from the officers. I looked at my body and didn't blame them. My torso looked like it had been put through a paper shredder and my arm looked like someone had did a bad stitching job on me.

I zoned out a bit to think back on what had happened. Hannah and that guy, they both attacked me…with no remorse. Not to mention, they seemed to have acted like they had no actual thoughts. It was almost like they went off instinct not actually thinking.

I looked at Judy, "What happened 4 months ago?" She looked at me, "Animals were getting shot with a serum called the Night-Howler that turned them into a "savage" predator. What happens is that the serum causes animals to act on their primal instincts."

It all started to make sense to me, "The lady at the club I was working at was a sparrow. That means a predatory animal had to be the culprit."

Judy went and whispered to the police chief something I couldn't quite hear.

I put my shirt back on and waited.

There were whispers among the rest of the officers until someone stepped up. She was a jaguar and to be honest, a little attractive. "Officer Hopps, I am willing to take this case."

I watched Hopps think it over but I stepped in, "Woah woah woah! Just what is actually going on?"

She looked at me and sighed, "You will be put on around the clock surveillance so we can find out who is doing this again. Obviously, they are going for you as a target. Or you can join the police force and help us."

I quickly shook my head and walked to the door, "I choose neither! I already don't like cops so I'm not becoming one. Second, I can handle myself just fine."

Officer Spots came over and grabbed my wounds making me tense up in pain, "Could've fooled us with those wounds."

I snatched my hand away, "That's because I'm used to fighting animals who actually fight hand-to-hand regardless of their fighting skill or sanity level, not animals who leap, bite, and claw like they are from way back in time. This just caught me off guard but I can handle myself perfectly fine."

I stormed out the police station and started to feel dizzy. With quick thinking, I threw 2 mints into my mouth and kept walking home.

When I finally got home, my older brother, Marik, was waiting for me, "Damn son, what took you so long?"

I shook my head and flopped on the couch, "Just an incident happed and I had to handle it."

I looked at him to see him smiling at me, "You give them the old 1 2 jump spin kick?"

I nodded and laughed before hearing our stomachs growl, "Let's order a pizza!"

I picked up then phone and called in an order, "Yeah, I'd like a large 2 topping with pepperoni and mushrooms with a side of mozzarella sticks."

I heard my brother behind me, "Don't forget sodas!"

I looked at him, "Oh yeah and two 2-liter sodas, one grape and the other orange."

The lady on the other line told me what my total was and I hung up. "What should we do while we wait?"

I looked at the tv and picked up a controller, "Think you can take me on in "Ratchet and Clank", Marik?"

Marik looked at me and laughed, "Don't you think I should be asking you that?"

I threw a couch pillow at his face then tossed him the controller, "Brag all you want. It will only be funnier when I beat you!"

We started to play, and my god…my brother got better than I thought.

"Yeah…you thought I didn't practice to beat you!" I looked at him and hit him in the face with the pillow again and got the winning point.

"Hey no fair! You damn cheater!"

I looked away, "I don't know what you are talking about."

He tackled me and held me down, "Restart the game!"

I kicked him off, "Never!" I got in my fighting stance and he ran at me quickly.

He pushed me into the wall but I jumped on the wall and kicked off tackling him into the couch, "Asshole!"

"Dipshit!"

"Cheater!"

"Sore-loser!"

He had me in a headlock and was tightening his grip but released me when we heard a knock at the door.

It was the pizza delivery lady.

I waited at the table but I could just barely hear my brother flirting with the delivery zebra.

Marik kept this up for about five minutes until I banged on the table then took a fork and threw it at the door making it stick in front of his paw. He stopped talking and paid for the pizza. He got to the table where I started to dig in.

But before I took a bite, I sprinkled some sugar on the pizza.

My brother looked at me, "How is the condition?"

I shrugged, "I only had to eat 2 mints instead of 5…I guess that is considered progress."

We kept eating then I heard a knock at the door.

I looked at him, "1,2,3, the door isn't for me!"

He groaned, "Fine…" He went and opened the door only to call me to the door.

I went to the door only to see Officer Spots standing there, "We need to talk."

I groaned and put a jacket on and walked out with her.

Marik tapped me on the shoulder, "Should I come along?"

I shook my head, "don't worry about me…I'll be back soon and I got some mints in my pocket."

He nodded to me and I shut the door behind me. I ended up getting a squad car.

"So we found something interesting about you Mr. Strand, you used to be an you used to be in a band with your brother and a couple others and called yourselves the "Felines of Death" right?"

I nodded and raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

She giggled a bit, "And you are a big fan of Gazelle?"

I nodded again, "Where are you getting at with this?"

The jaguar lady looked at me, "What if I told you that I can get you and your brother into a show starring her?"

I smiled big, "You can do that?!"

She nodded and held up a picture of her, Judy and Nick all posing in a photo with Gazelle. My heart jumped when I realized I can really meet Gazelle or see her perform live.

"What's the catch?"

I heard her sigh, "I just want you to work with us and help find and catch the culprits."

I thought it over for a second, "So, you're bribing me?"

She shook her head, "don't think of it as a bribe. Think of it as a payment for your help."

I shook my head, "Fine…I will help."

She clapped and smiled big, "Thank you so much!"

We arrived at the police department and we both walked in where I was given a key to a locker.

I went to the locker room and found inside they had a uniform and a badge, "Don't I need some sort of training for this?" Obviously not if the uniform was a perfect fit.

I walked to the meeting office where the other officers and the chief of police were waiting, "Welcome, Officer Strand. Very excited to have you on the force for this tough case."

I didn't feel quite excited but I figured might as well act like I actually cared, "Yeah, for once, I actually feel some enjoyment from this. My mother and father would be proud of me."

Most of the other officers clapped for me then the chief spoke again, "You will be partnered up with Officer Spots."

I quietly groaned and nodded, "Yes…sir."

He wasn't done yet, "You will also be paired up with officer Wilde and officer Hopps." I gave him a thumbs up and we were all dismissed to go home.

Spots decided to give me a ride home which I had no problem with.

However, when we got to my apartment, there were ambulances and some police officers. "What the hell happened here?"

We got out and when I did, I saw the worst possible thing ever.

My brother was being checked by some medics.

I quickly, without thinking, ran to his aid. Some officers tried to block my way but I checked them out of my way, "Out of my way! That's my brother!"

I got to him and looked over his body, "What happened?"

He looked at me and smiled, "Someone broke in the apartment but I gave him quite the beating." He laughed a bit before coughing.

I shook my head and laughed a bit, "You know, mom was right about you. You really are a big pushover."

He laughed again and gave me a punch in the shoulder without realizing I was wearing a police uniform.

Some officers went to move in but I stopped them, "You so much as touch him and I will make sure you don't wake up!"

Marik laughed as he saw them back off, "So, when did this happen?"

He pointed to my uniform and I laughed a bit, "Its only for a little bit. Don't worry, just because I have this uniform doesn't mean I can't dj still."

He laughed again and high-fived me, "Of course! Not sure what you would do if you can't drop sick beats anymore! We have to think of a new cool name for you. How about, DJ of the Law?"

I shook my head and slapped him, "Hell no! Just because I'm a part-time cop, doesn't mean I have to change a damn thing."

After he was cleared up, I went into our apartment and checked to see what the damages were.

Other than some broken glass and some scratches on the walls, there wasn't anything too major.

"Good god…" Spots came in behind me and took a look around, "Looks like whatever broke in, wasn't playing around."

I looked at her, "And neither will I when brake whoever broke in. They put my brother in danger, that's something I can't forgive." I look down, "He is all I have left. I can't afford to lose him." I go back outside, "Do we know the suspect or the location?"

No one could tell me anything useful. Now I can see what the ZPD actually have to put up with. I can tell, this is the beginning of something that will change us all.

I persuaded Marik to stay in the hospital while I look over the house.

Spots went in with me and I took another look where I noticed something, "Hey look at this."

She came over and looked at the item, "It's a wallet."

I opened it and look at the ID then see a blue petal. "Treeza Ford…"

I looked at her, "What?"

She showed me the ID, "The Grizzly that came in here."

I looked at the ID and thought about that, "Wait…a grizzly?! I was attacked by a grizzly!" I took the ID and ran out the apartment to a squad car, "Attention all units, be on the lookout for a grizzly by the name of Treeza Ford! Subject is tall, lean and has green eyes. One last thing…if you find him, don't let me get to him."

Spots got out to the car but I was already in the driver seat, "Get in…now!"

She got in and I sped off with my sirens and lights going off. I was in so much in a blind rage that I didn't hear anything but my sadistic thoughts. When I find that bear, I will rip him apart! I will make sure no one will recognize the body! No screw that! I will make sure the body will never be found! Then I can protect my brother!

I started to growl and snarl as I drifted a corner and saw the alley where I was attacked. Quickly, I threw the car into park and jumped out, "Treeza, if you can hear me, you put your paws in the air and stand down you scumbag!" I drew my gun and looked around.

Sadly, I got no answer as I felt Spots put her paw on my shoulder, "Hey, its ok, calm down. We will get him."

I looked at her and nodded as I put my gun away and got back in the car and drove back to my apartment and went in with Spots following me.

We got in and I quickly took a shower and changed into my pj's. I then waited for Spots to finish hers then we decided to chat.

"I'm sorry what happened to your brother."

I nodded, "Yeah me too, but I know he will be ok. Thanks Spots." I looked out the window when I heard her, "Jessabelle."

I looked at her, "What."

She looked at me, "That's my first name…you don't have to keep calling me by my last name especially when I know yours, Streak."

I laughed, "Ok then, Jessabelle." I yawned and laid back, "I might not be of much help tomorrow, I have a gig that I have to perform soon and my brother will need to practice with me as well as a few old friends of ours."

She nodded, "I actually want to hear you perform."

I got up then went to my room and grabbed a flyer before coming back to her and handing it to her, "This is the time and the place. It's my old high school."

Her face lit up with joy, "I used to go to school there!"

I was surprised, "Really? I never knew that."

She nodded and I laughed a bit. I saw her yawn and placed a pillow behind her head, "Goodnight, Jesse." She gave me a hug, "Goodnight, Streak." She fell asleep and I put a blanket over her and I waited a bit.

When I heard the sound of her light snoring, I went and sat on my bed to think to myself. Things are very tense around here and if I don't do something about it at all, Zootopia might become a little less friendly.

I went back to the couch and laid next to Jessabelle and fell asleep. Tomorrow officially stars my first day on the force.
