Inside the main headquarters of the ZPD, Emperor Splero 'Spleriia' Kerano was helping Officers Nick and Judy in arranging the paperwork that they worked in their shift.

'What should we do after these, guys?'

Nick raises his paw.

'How about we go for some pawpsicles?'

'Sounds good.'

Judy nodded.

'Me too. I'll add it up with some carrot juice and blueberry pie as well.'

Nick let out a relieved look on his face and his tongue was dangling on the side of his maw.

'Ah. Blueberry pie! My favorite!'

Judy grinned. Splero's Regents Chimpan and Michelle then appeared.

'Hey there, guys.'

'Whaji Davay.'

'Great Greetings to you, Sire.'

'What's up?'

'Are you guys going somewhere after you all arranged the papers away in the file cabinets?'

'Only to the cafeteria, Michelle. Why?'

Chimpan cleared his throat while Michelle fixes her loose beret.

'Chief Bogo wanted to pass a new order to you and the others, Splero.'

Splero, Nick and Judy were all curious.

'What kind of request?'

'He ordered you to do some patrol duty at Downtown Zootopia along with Nick, Sire.'

'That's all?'

Chimpan nodded.

'I see.'

Splero then sighed.

'Alright. I'll do it with Slick Nick then.'

Nick perked up.

'Wait. You mean right now?'

'Unfortunately, Nick. That's a yes.'

The red fox groaned.

'What about my pie?'

Splero snickered.

'Don't worry about that. I have some leftover blueberry pie for you in my satchel.'

'Really?!'

Splero was bolstered by Nick's sudden excitement.

'Oops. Sorry!'

'Boy. You like blueberry pie so much, Nicky.'

Judy adjusts the top buttons of her uniform.

'Of course he does. He's now a blueberry addict.'

'Very well.'

Splero donned his beret and faces to Chimpan.

'Are you going to join me in the patrol, Chimp?'

'Later, Sire but your son would be here in Zootopia any minute now.'

'My son?'

Chimpan nodded.

'You mean my son Kalir from the mainland?'

'Yep. He sent me, Clawhauser and Chief Bogo a message a while back that he would be here for his first quest with the ZPD. Remember the time that you signed the seal on the decree?'

'Ah, yes. The decree of sending my son here in Zootopia to be joined with the ZPD, Chimpan. I remembered.'

Michelle, Nick and Judy were all surprised to hear that Splero has a son that they never knew about before.

'Wait. You have a son?'

'For real?'

'Yes, guys. In fact, I asked my son days ago to get here so that he could join the ZPD. In that way, he can see me and for him to befriend you all too.'

'I see.'

Michelle giggled.

'That's sweet.'

'Thanks.'

Splero cleared his throat.

'Anyway. Shall we move on now, Nick?'

'Oh, sure. Let's go then, Sire.'

'Alright.'

The human Spleranese monarch then turned to the arctic vixen, rabbit and primate.

'OK, guys. See y'all later.'

The others bid their goodbyes as Splero and Nick left.

...

In the parking lot, Splero and Nick boarded on a restored 1900s-era motorized car. The car was also the similar car that Splero used in the Legela Revelte as a makeshift armored car armed with either a Gatling gun, a Maxim gun or a Browning M1895 MG. As Nick boarded in, Splero passed his satchel at him.

'The pie slices were inside that satchel. If you find, just let your hunger be sated.'

'Great! Thanks.'

'Pleasure.'

Splero started the car and he drives it out to the road that led to Downtown Zootopia. As they were driving, Nick finally finished eating and he places away the satchel on the side of his seat.

'So damn delicious.'

'It was?'

'Yeah!'

Splero snickered.

'Oh. It sure do, Nick.'

Nick then grabbed his personal sidearm from his holster - a shiny Colt M1911 pistol. He checked the bottom and realized that the magazine was already inside.

'Crap. I didn't know that the magazine was inside my sidearm.'

'Why?'

'I forgot to put more bullet in there.'

'Better keep your sidearm full of ammo at all times, Nick. That's the protocol of firearm readiness.'

'I know.'

The red fox kept the pistol back into his holster.

'Anyway, do you have more 45 ACP rounds?'

'I'm sorry, Nick. I don't have any.'

'Oh.'

'Because I have a different sidearm, Nick. If you're armed with a pistol, I was being armed with a good old revolver that I been using since the Legela Revelte.'

Nick perked up.

'Really?'

'Yep but I'll show it to you later. For now, I'll focus on driving down the road.'

'I understand, Sire.'

Splero nodded.
