Chapter 1
Roy Wenson looked out of the cabin and lowered his window. He turned the engine off, unpinned his belt and leaned out of the cabin, giving the sheep his pass. He tried to act like he was just another normal mammal, passing by. Ito was hard. His heart beat like crazy, his skin sweated hard and his whole body shaked nervously. Fortunately for him, he was able to control it a little bit, so the guard couldn't see anything. He reached his paw to the air conditioning control and lowered the temerature a bit. He thanked the God or whoever was up there for his idea to cover his sweating by Sahara Square natural temperature.
The sheep guarding the gate frowned. She looked at the pass and then at the weasel. Then she gave it back.
"Sorry, your pass is incorrect. You can't go through." she said and sat on her chair, ignoring the weasel
"What do you mean? I have all stamps, all necessary permits and all signatures I need to pass through here! You have no right to hold me!"
The sheep sighed and slowly stood up "What do you transport?"
The weasel calmed himself. That sheep obviously didn't want him in. She didn't have any proof, but he was a predator. That was enough for her.
He hated this type of mammals. Selfish, arrogant and stupid. Always offended for a thing his ancestors did more than a milion years ago. Always ready to say that predators are ready to slash their throats right open. And all predators were sure they were upset with Bellwether unmasked.
"It's written right here." he said, showing her his pass "See? My whole cargo is only five crates full of vegetables, right from Bunny Burrows."
"Any proof if anything you're saying is true?"
"It's written by ZTaMA! What else do you need? FBI's permission?" the weasel replied, getting frustrated
"That would be nice. Drug cartels are on the agenda there."
"Yeah, I can imagine potential buyers from the city hall ordering drugs from dirty low-lifes. Probably doing it all the time." he replied
"I just needed a proof! I knew it!" she said and started to call 911
"Can't you understand a joke? And can you fucking check that pass already?" the weasel interrupted her and leaned back on the seat
"Hmm..." was only thing he had for the reply
The sheep took his pass again and opened hers writing pad full of every authorised stamp and signature in Zootopia. The weasel leaned back and started to calm himself. Okay. Keep it cool... Last thing you need right now is anger that bitch... He looked in his mirrors, afraid he would see mammals wearing black leather jackets'Nothing now. Good. If they appear I'm so fucked...'The weasel made sure the sheep wasn't looking and leaned for his pocket. It was still there. His glock, ready to fire at any second, covered with a plastic bag in case someone would smell the gun oil. There was no need to use it now. But he was sure he would have to do it.
Meanwhile the sheep gave his pass back, saying:
"Looks good, but behave, you're in Zootopia now. We'll have an eye for you." she said and unlocked the gate leading to the parking just next to biggest building in Zootopia
"Yeah, whatever." the weasel replied, pressing the gas pedal
He relaxed. Everything was good. He finally was in his destination, he got the cargo there and none of them appeared. For him - it was just perfect. He parked the truck and looked at his clock. He was a bit too early. But he didn't care. Only thing that crossed his mind now was he was alive and no one suspicious mammals appeared. He rested a bit, closing his eyes.
"Nice truck."
He slowly opened his eyes "You don't mind I'm too early?" he said and looked out of the window
He regret it immediately. He didn't want to see that. An antelope, black leather jacket, black glasses and an orange scarf, probably overlying a medallion. Hoofs in his pockets, probably hiding a weapon there. And on top of that a giant musculature and a broken horn. Great. They are here. He thought and instinctively checked if his pistol was still in his pocket. It was there. Good. He looked around, for both help and to made sure no more mammals in black leather jackets would appear.
"Well, friend... I suggest you get your paw off the pistol immediately, or there will be another patient in the hospital with multiple arm bone breaks. In the best condition. Am I clear?" he said, with his eyes behind the glasses
But the weasel didn't want to see his eyes. He did what the antelope wanted and put his paws in the air.
"Put your paws down you dumb fuck, it's suspicious as hell!" the antelope hissed and moved closer to the truck "On the dashboard." he ordered
Weasel's vision was blurred, his paws shook and his mind run away and hid in the darkest corner of his brain. He knew who wore themselves like that. The Phoenix. He was most likely dead soon after the antelope taking him to some secluded place and then just a bullet to the back of the head. The weasel didn't want that. He thought fast, many unreasonable plans formed in his mind in seconds. But then one of the simples came to him. Just press the gas pedal and drive away.
And he did it. But he underrated the anthelope. He never thought his reflexes would be so fast and he would jump that fast. The anthelope reacted in the matter of seconds. He just jumped, grabbed the door and forced the weasel out of that truck. Roy was shocked. He didn't even try to fight back. He never saw anything like that in his career. The anthelope was too fast for any normal mammal.
He hit the parking lot hard, rolling a few meters before he stopped. His back was hurting like hell, his phone probably was broken and blood pulsed in his veins, filling his bloodstream with adrenaline. With his corner of the eye he spotted the anthelope pointing his gun at him. Then he heard a bang. And then he felt a shooting pain in his chest.
"Holy shit! Did you see that?" Nick shouted pointing at something out of the window
Judy didn't have to see. A second later she heard a gunshot, coming from the right. She immediately pushed the brake and looked out of the window. She couldn't believe her eyes. An anthelope shoot a weasel on the safest parking in Zootpia. She didn't waste any more time. She kicked the door and jumped on the walkway. She run as fast as she could and that was some speed.
It was certain that the guard hadn't had a chance. The anthelope didn't use his pistol, he just grabbed her neck and threw her on the asphalt. He didn't give a chance to any of the mammals rushing towards him, either. He just started running, with a speed hard to compete with. But both Nick and Judy weren't just some weak mammals. They run just after him, using all the muscles they had, all the speed in their legs.
Judy grabbed her radio and reported: "Dispatch, this is officer Hopps, we have an anthelope with a gun on Round street and a victim, chasing the target. He is running south, send backup immediately!"
"Got it!" a short answer came
Judy didn't answer. She put her radio back and prepared her tranquilier. The anthelope ran in a cul-de-sac. He was between two brick walls and gauze. The only way out was blocked by Nick and Judy. He had literally no esacpe. Nick probably saw that too, because he took his tranq gun too. But the duo didn't know who were they dealing with.
The anthelope didn't even stop, he just bounced back from the gauze and lifted him over it. He didn't even slowed down, like he had it trained. But Nick knew exactly what to do. He turned around and offered Judy a boost. She didn't thought twice. She just sped up and used Nick's help to jump over it. She rolled while landing and continued chasing the anthelope.
She had to admit - that bastard was smart. He ran into a crowd of mammals, making himself almost invisible. If not his broken horn Judy would have probably missed him.
"ZPD! Out of the way!" she shouted while sliding through the crowd
She had one crucial ability. While the criminal had to sqeeze thorugh the crowd she was able to run faster, only avoiding the legs. It wasn't easy but it was a lot faster than sqeezing through all of them.
Judy looked around, searching for her partner. 'Looks like I'm on my own now...'She thought and countinued running. She heard some 'Hey, was that officer Hopps?' and 'OMG this is really her!' but she ignored most of them. She had a job to do.
She smiled. The anthelope ran towards a dead end. This time even parkour couldn't save him. She prayed he wouldn't turn left. If he would he could escape. But then her prayers were heard. She spot her partner rushing toward the anthelope from his left side. He had no escape route now.
He ran into the alley and disappeared in the dark in there. Judy slowed down a bit and walked to the entrance. Nick was already waiting there.
"So, carrots..." he said "...ladies first?" he asked, grinning
Judy chuckled "In your dreams. I need a big bad predator as a meatshield!"
Nick's smile dropped a bit "What would you do if that big bad predator would..." he came closer "...eat the criminal?" he ended, grinning widely
Judy burst out laughing "First, we have to catch him. Let's go Nick!" she ordered entering the alley
Nick followed her, pulling out his tranq gun. The alley was a standard alley like every other dead-end-like alley. Some destroyed walls, trash everywhere and broken glass here and there. He stepped carefully, he certainly didn't want any glass in his feet. Aspecially that glass...
Judy was in front of him, her ears perked from time to time, searching for any signs of the anthelope. He was sure she would have heard him if he would prepare a trap. But he surprised them once again.
He hid behind a big container and held his breath until he saw Judy. Then he used his strongsl legs to kick her, very powerful. She flew, hitting against a brick wall, yelping in pain. He then jumped opposite to Nick and kicked his gun out, his left hoof started to fly against fox's head. But he didn't calculate one thing. The fox got angry.
When Nick saw Judy flying and then heard her yelping in pain his adrenal started pumping noradrenaline into his bloodstream. So called by a mammal he wanted to forget 'A hormone of a fighter'. It was a matter of seconds when his heart filled his whole body with this hormone. Soon after that time slowed down for him. He quickly dodged anthelope's attack and then countered it, totally forgotting about his tranq gun. His left paw his the anthelope's face, right after that his right joined and then left smashed against his face again. But Nick stopped there, jumping back and prepaining for the next attack.
And yes, he was angry. He was just able to control himself, so he wouldn't do anything stupid. He saw how that anthelope kicked Judy. It wasn't some ordinary, improvised attack. It was a trained move, he saw his fluency. No useless moves, no epithets towards him. Only focus, skill, strength and even more focus.
Suddenly, the anthelope jumped forward, decreasing the distance between them in seconds. But Nick was ready for it. He stepped back a bit and dodged another hit. And another. And then he hit. But he missed, the anthelope was ready for it. Just after that the fox moved towards the anthelope, contracted, dodging a left cross and hit the mammal in his solar plexus.
It worked, way better than Nick thought. The anthelope immediately groaned and fell on his knees, giving Nick an advantege. And Nick didn't waste it.
He attacked with a cross, wrenching his body, so he multiplied the force of the hit. When his paw contacted the anthelope's face he knew it probably was the most perfect hit he ever did in his life. The criminal fell on the fround, totally blacked out. He made sure the anthelope didn't fake it, pawcuffed him and jumped to his partner.
"Oh my God, Judy!" he cried in panic, when he saw blood on her face
He quickly checked if she was breathing, moved her out of the garbage bags and placed her in place he knew she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
He had to say, it wasn't good, but he expected it to be a lot worse. Well, for an anthelope's hoof... The cut on her face wasn't serious. He had happened to cut himself even worse. He calmed and wondered what should he do next.
Just after that he heard several footsteps, like some bigger mammals were entering the alley.
"Hopps? Wilde? Are you there?" he heard Delgato's voice
He stood up and called them back "Yeah! I dealt with that criminal! But Judy is injured!"
Delgato entered the alley, with officer Grizolli behind him. He looked on the yelping anthelope and then at Nick. Then again at the anthelope.
"Wait... You kicked his ass?" he asked
"Yup. Don't think he would wake up in the next ten minutes." Nick relied coming closer to Delgato "Is there an ambulance nearby? That fucker shot a mammal like a minute ago."
Delgato nodded "Don't worry about him. The medics came even faster than us."
Grizolli growled "Did he do that to Hopps?"
Nick looked at Judy "Yeah."
"I swear to God, Bogo will murder him..." he said
Nick just shrugged "Can you carry him to the parking?" he asked
Delgato came closer to the anthelope "No problem." he said and flipped him over his shoulder
The parking was occupied by three ZPD cruisers and a one ambulance. Nick walked in there, carrying Judy, with Dlegato and Grizolli on his back. When they reached the ambulances Delgato threw the anthelope on the groud, not caring much about what would happen to him.
Soon, a moose medic aproached them "Everything good? No one hurt?" he asked
"Well, actually, officer Hopps got beaten. She hit a brick wall, 'cause that bastard" Nick pointed at the anthelope "kicked her. She has a little cut on her forehead and I don't know if that's serious."
Medic nodded and ordered to put the rabbit on the stretcher nearby. He checked everything, while Nick and both other officers chatted and passed time. It didn't take long. The moose walked past them and told:
"Everything's alright. She's awake and you can get back to the HQ."
"What about that weasel?" Nick asked "You know, that one who got shot."
"He's fine. Lucky guy. He put a kevlar under his clothes. It ended only with some broken ribs."
Nick looked at the weasel being put into an ambulance "Why is he wearing a neck brace then?"
"In every case we assume a spine injury. But from what we know he hit the ground preety hard, so it's very possible that he would have something shifted there. Now, if you excuse me, I've got to go." he said, turned around and drove away
"Well..." Grizolli said "Looks like we have to go to, right?"
"Yup." Nick replied "Nothing left to do here. Who takes the criminal?"
"We'll do it." Delgato answered
"Okay. See you at the HQ then!"
The fox shook paws with both Grizolli and Delgato and then walked past Judy, who was already sitting in their crusier. He jumped into the car, started the engine and spoke to the rabbit aside him.
"You alright carrots?"
"Yeah, I'm good Judy replied, with a bit weak voice "Don't worry slick, I'm fine."
"You sure?" Nick asked with curiosity and concern in his voice
Judy's ears perked a bit. Why is he so caring about me? She was confused.
"Yeah Nick, it's only a scratch. Can we go already?" she asked with a bit of annoyance in her voice
Nick looked down "Yeah, sure." he said and pressed the gas pedal
'Great. Why was I so curious? Now she is annoyed. Great job Wilde.' He decided not to talk with her partner until they get to the station. But it didn't take long, it wasn't too far away. When they got there they immediately went to their office.
"So, Nick" Judy said when they entered the office "what do you think about that action?"
Nick pressed a button on the coffeemaker "I dunno. Really. I don't think anyone would do such thing in a middle of the town, without a serious reason. That weasel surely didn't do anything legal. If he was then no one would attack him."
Judy sat on her chair "You sure? That anthelope might just wanted revenge for something."
"Want a coffee?" the fox asked
Judy smiled "Yeah, sure."
"You got it. And back to the topic... Did you even see his gun? It wasn't just some junk, it really was a trimmed pistol. And the silencer wasn't only to decorate it too. It has to be something bigger whiskers."
"We'll see Nick. We'll see..." Judy replied
She was sure nothing serious would happen in three months since the official endof the missing mammals case after Nick's graduation. She would bet on a half of a year, maybe even a year... But three months? She was certain nothing would happen. But that... Nick was right. No one ever would shoot another mammal in a broad daylight, without a really good reason. Or that was an exception - or it was the beggning to something bigger, maybe even bigger that the missing mammals case. And a crime like the missing mammals case was a scandal that didn't happen in Zootopia in years...
"You know that three new recruits are arriving tommorow?" Nick interrupted her thoughts
Judy blinked "Sorry, I zoned out. What did you say?"
"Three new recruits are arriving tommorow. Did you know about that?"
"Yeah, I've heard about it. Hope they would be good cops." she replied
"Have you ever thought about yourself and only yourself?" Nick asked
"Well... I think not."
Nick sighed and took both cups of coffee. He gave one to Judy and drank the other one himself. He liked coffee and the coffeemaker he brought with him was making very good one. They would proabably spend the rest of the day talking and doing paperwork. But chief found them another task.
"Come in!" Nick said, when he heard knocking to their office door.
Door opened and officer Wolfard came in. He looked around and said:
"Whatcha doin'?"
"Nothing particular." Judy replied "Why do you ask?"
The wolf sighed "It's 'bout that anthelope you catched. He states that if he ever would talk he would talk only with you two."
Nick looked at Judy "So, do we get info out of the criminal, partner?"
Judy smiled "Yeah, why not? We hadn't had much to do anyway."
"I guess you don't need a guide?" Wolfard asked
"Do you teach infants how to brathe?" Nick asked
"You're right. It was a stupid question." Wolfard replied
"Let's go then!" Judy said and jumped down on the floor
They exited their office and went to the interrogation rooms. They were in the deepest part of the building, right next to the cells. When they got there they saw the anthelope right behind the one-way mirror. He was looking exactly at them.
"Does he know if we are here?" Judy asked
"No. I think that he only assumes it." Delgato answered, entering the hallway they were in
After they greeted Delgato they entered the recording room of the first interrogation section.
"So, do you have any trouble with him?" Nick asked
Delgato nodded "He's a tough bastard. When we left he woke up and tried to escape."
"He had no chance though." Judy noticed
"He almost made it. Grizolli has a black eye, a big cut on his forehead and some bruises now and he almost stunned me."
"Has he said anything yet?"
"No. Nothing interesting. He knows how to talk and not say anything accidentally. He has made some interesting stories too and trust me, if we weren't experienced we would believe him."
"He said that he would only talk with us too, right?" the fox asked
"Yup." Delgato nodded
"Let's go then!" Judy said and opened the interrogation room door
The duo entered it, changing their face expressions to bored and annoyed. They slowly walked towards the gray metal table and sat on the two chairs. The anthelope didn't care. He just looked at them and then closed his eyes and folded back on the chair.
"So, what do you want from me?" he broke the silence
"Guess!" Nick answered "You've just shot a mammal! What would we want from you?"
"I dunno. Probably buy a carpet."
"Why?" Judy asked
"You've catched a wrong person. I'm only a simple merchant. I went to that alley to reduce the time. Then I've heard you fucking busting in and I hid. Ain't there any fucking robbers?"
Nick laughed "Good one!" he said, pretending to wipe his tears "Really good one!"
"We have cogent proof. What do you choose: camera footage, eyewitnesses, DNA stamps... Choose whatever you want!" Judy added
Anthelope sighed "You won't let me go, do you?"
"We will. We'll get you coffee, some money, apologise and give you a car!" Nick replied
Ludy grinned "Okay, so will you talk?"
"Let's make a deal." The anthelope answered
"I'm all ears." Judy replied, not paying attention to laughing Nick
"I tell you whatever you want - you let me go and give me back my medallion, my scarf, my jacket and my vial."
Delgato immediately came to sorted anthelope's stuff and began searching it once again, but this time more careful. He looked in every pocket, every possible hidden place. He's soon found it. The vial was small, made out of metal, probably aluminium, but it still had a little bit of glass, which allowed to see how much liquid was in it.
When he looked through the glass he felt his heart speeding up. That shade of blue... Unmistakable. Night howlers. He quickly called the chief. No matter what was he doing now. He HAD to know about this. An anthelope with night howlers, shooting a mammal in a broad daylight...
'And beating three officers.' He rubbed a giant bruise on his shoulder. He didn't forget about Grizzolli. The bear had a cut on his forehead, now it probably was stitched.
'And let's do not forget. Hopps and Wilde...' He felt a cold shiver while he imagined what that criminal could do with them. Of course, they were trained, but he saw the anthelope's agility and strength...
"So they catched him." a quiet, but strong voice spoke out of the darkness
It was more of a ascertain than a question. The mammal sitting on the other side of a big, mahogany desk often started canveraations like that. Not asking. Ascertaining. And his ascertains were always correct.
"You all know what to do. Marc gets in, finds out about you-know-what and you get him and the prisoner back." the mammal went quiet for a second "What has happened then?"
Now was the time for answering. The buck spoke:
"The great four broke territorial establishment."
The buck didn't see the face of his converser, but he knew his maw has dropped. The silence lasted for some time. Then he spoke:
"Why and how?"
The fun starts now... The buck thought and then answered:
"They transported drugs through black zone. Five Sj's, mostly cocaine. From our data we also know they transported marijuana, THC, LSD and heroin."
"Purge."
Buck's ears dropped "You don't mean..."
"Yes, I do! To prevent the fucking bloodshed we made a deal! We warned them! All of them! They knew what is going to happeen now! The purge."
Buck didn't answer.
"Not now. We have to wait after some time. When they'll lose their caution. Am I clear?"
"Yes."
"Good. Dismissed."
