Mrs. Otterton, please wait out here," Bogo told the small otter. She mumbled in agreement as she padded out the door. The door slammed shut as the chief turned to Judy, "You're fired!"
"What?! Why!?" Judy asked, smile fading from her lips.
"Insubordination! Now, I'm going to open this door and you are going to tell that otter you're a former metermaid with delusions of grandeur who will not be taking the case." The cape buffalo opened the door to reveal Mrs. Otterton standing by herself. Her bright eyes looked much more youthful now that she'd found the answer to her prayers. Bogo pushed judy out the door and slammed it behind her.
Tears welled in Judy's eyes as she stared at the otter, "Mrs. Otterton, I regret to inform you that I-I will not be taking the case. Chief...I mean, Mr. Bogo… he fired me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Judy said while trying to hold back tears.
"Oh. That's okay. Well, sweetie, I'm sorry about your job, I hope it wasn't my fault." Mrs. Otterton showed sympathy toward the rabbit, which made her feel guilty. The otter had lost her husband, and no one was trying to help her find him, but yet she was showing kindness toward Judy.
"Oh, no, Mrs. Otterton. It was one-hundred percent my fault. I'd better go. Thank you for believing in me. I-I need to go."
