Chapter 1 Review:

Guest: Nope, if I had done that, it would be before the midnight between April 1 and 2. I posted this story in the morning of April 2. Nice try. :-)

Supposed Reincarnate: Indeed, but I like to make this story uniquely compared to the rest of my uploading Zootopia stories.

~First Monday morning~

The new cadet, a black-wooled lamb, straightened her shiny golden badge as she piloted her way to Precinct One with her white-wooled brother and her best friend. They arrived there early so Zootopia's first bunny cop would be able to give the sheep siblings a tour through the building without getting in trouble with their new boss. The cubby cheetah reminded the rabbit that it was about the time for roll call. She escorted them to the bullpen, which was surprisingly filled with big prey and predator, included their first fox cop who sat on the big seat. The seat was big enough that two small-sized mammals could occupy it at a time. The bunny sat with the fox while the sheep siblings went to an empty seat and sat there. Their chief, who was a cape buffalo dressed in blue cop uniform with navy pants, entered the bullpen and groaned as he heard the loud cheers from his squad before he reached the podium.

He shouted loudly, "Alright, alright! ENOUGH! What is this? A birthday party like those in 'One Hundred Kisses', 'Zootopia: Partners in Crime', and 'Can A Fox Love a Bunny?' stories? We don't need to party like this, so get your priorities straight!"

The black sheep shifted her attention to her best friend who sat on the table by her right, as the latter pulled her cPhone to check out the FurFiction site. The rabbit's gaze was amusing to her as the new cadet watched her face bewildered at each name that the water buffalo called out.

"Sure, we will get our priorities straight if you put the fourth wall back in place. We can't afford to reveal the secret ending of this story to the readers as of now, ya'know?" the red fox threw out his remark as he rested his back on the chair with a smug smirk and calm expression.

"SHUT IT, WILDE!" the chief shouted louder than he ever yelled in the past after he heard the snickers from the force. He added, "Keep that up and you get parking duty for a MONTH!"

The black lamb jumped at the last word. She blinked at her chief's burst. She heard the bunny's palm slapping on her forehead in response to the situation. That made her chortle. Once the atmosphere settled, the chief declared that they had a pair of new recruits, but he added that he didn't care about that. He handed out cases to each veteran and paired some of them into teams.

"Officer Hopps and Officer Wilde, patrol duty. Be sure to leave your kisses and hugs at home," he said as he handed the invisible case file to them. He turned to the black sheep, "Officer Woola… Parking Duty."

"I dare to ask…" the female sheep inquired, "Which one are you referring to. Me or my brother?"

"Oh, Officer S. Woola, take a Parking Duty," her chief realized and corrected himself before he dismissed the room.

"Um, sir…" Officer Hopps reminded the chief, "Could you please explain Officer S. Woola the reason why she has to take Parking Duty?"

"Hm," the cape buffalo considered as the veteran cops left, included Officer S. Woola's brother, before he responded, "Alright, Hopps. You're also dismissed."

The chief made his way back to where the black sheep was and stood by the table before he started to explaining, "Officer S. Woola, please hear me out only once. Parking Duty is to help you to get familiar with the layout of the city as well as to write at least a hundred tickets before lunchtime. It is also treated as punishment depending on behavior and attention to duty. Is that clear?"

"Yes, sir," the black-wooled lamb confirmed as she saluted.

Officer S. Woola spent her morning piloting around the heart of Zootopia, getting familiar with the layout of the city and she managed to get a hundred and eighty-six tickets pinned on windbreakers. Upon her return to Precinct One, the first thing she heard was-

"WILDE!" echoing from the third floor, where the chief's office was as she recalled the map layout of Precinct One from the tour she took that morning.

"Is that just me, or is Chief Buffalo Butt seeing red?" the red fox, known as Officer Wilde, remarked. This nearly made Officer S. Woola laugh as she took the parking duty hat off. But before she could make a sound, her best friend responded with a punch to the fox's abdomen, "Shut. That. Snout. Nichola… just go and hear him out before he turns into… what? Bull-dozer! And dig you a new grave."

The black lamb dropped her head then shook it with loud laughing that all nearby could hearing.

~First Tuesday morning~

Officer S. Woola managed to arrive at Precinct One and make her way to the bullpen, only to find the chief replaced by a different mammal. This mammal was a black-furred wolf, dressed in a navy-blue uniform, which was almost identical to that of the previous chief. The change got her confused, but she didn't question the sudden change at this point. She continued to do Parking Duty as she was told. She continued doing her work for next two days.

In addition to the chief change, she noticed that Officer Wilde had not been present at the bullpen since he was called into the chief's office on the first Monday evening.

~First Thursday morning~

When Officer S. Woola was given her day duty she was eager to cover the rest of the heart of Zootopia City. However, as she left the bullpen she heard an argument behind her.

"What? Wait, sir, why should I go and arrest this sloth?" the first bunny cop voiced her objection.

The new chief responded, "He made a mistake so it's time put him in his place. Once a mistake, always a mistake! Now take this case, or turn your badge in!"

Following that comment the door slammed shut, loud enough to make the black sheep flinch in surprise. Nevertheless, she proceeded to her tiny three-wheeled vehicle and drove to the new area that she hadn't covered in previous days.

~First Friday morning~

Officer S. Woola arrived and just now learned that, like Officer Wilde had done earlier, Officer Hopps disappeared from the face of Zootopia. The feeling of fear rushed through her veins as she realized… had Officer Hopps turned her badge in… or had she become a fugitive after the new chief's harsh order?

She went to the bullpen and waited for the chief to finish assigning cases. She still got her usual job - Parking Duty. She managed to snap the chief's attention with a question; "Sir… has Judy make any decision yet? I meant, did she turn in her badge or something?"

"No, she did not. Anymore question?" the chief answered as he stood by the door.

The black lamb shook her head, "No, I only wished to know. Thanks. So I should be going now."

~Second Saturday morning~

She made her way into the bullpen as quickly as possible, so she could get her assignment soon. The disappearance of her best friend had her worried and she wanted to get her job done early that day so she could spent each and every minute of her free time to go out and look for the grey rabbit.

"Officer S. Woola," the chief notified behind the podium, "Rainforest District, some witnesses claimed they saw the red fox in the wild side. Dismissed."

That surprised her as she got the case instead of her usually duty for the first time in a (almost) week. She got off the chair and walked to the podium and received her case file from the chief before she made her way out of the bullpen. As she worked her way through the lobby, she stopped once she saw two officers walking by the radio dispatcher's desk.

"This is bull-pit! I am leaving here and not returning until Chief Bogo is back in his office," the female tiger spat onto the floor, who Officer S. Woola recognized as France Fangmeyer.

The huge rhino followed her as well, threw out a piece of his mind, "Agreed, Chief Bogo knew what to do with us. Chief Black can burn himself all he wants."

Their comment stunned the sheep but she tried to push it aside and proceeded to the long-distance travel vehicle once she obtained the key for it.

~Same Saturday, couple of hours later~

Officer S. Woola arrived at the border of the Rainforest District, which separated the civilians from the wildness. She parked her jeep and checked on the file that she received, only to learn that the first bunny cop was the officer that last visited this zone. She reached for the radio to notify her chief that she had arrived at the location. She left the cruiser and proceeded on hoof. Once she got to the ground level, the black lamb blinked as she spotted a red fox that emerged from nowhere. She quickly gave a chase on the mysterious canine as the latter made a dash toward an unknown location. She recalled the detail from the file that Judy confirmed the fact that the red fox would be a phantom-

"Oh," the black lamb halted as she witnessed the red fox vanishing into the dusk side of the district.

The officer took a couple of steps closer to the location where she spotted the fox, but she halted again as she realized that there were something different. She started to moving backward, away from the spot that she was supposed to investigating on. The new creature was well-blended in the dusk background, which made this individual harder to be detected. The front paw emerged from the dusk side, which appeared to be grey rather than the red and it was coated with the black skin-tight gauntlet. It planted onto the ground. The familiar color of the fur caused the officer to start up a flashback.

At the graduation ceremony, the first bunny cop removed the golden badge from the small-sized wood box before she put the box away and walked toward the sheep. She came to the new cadet, who changed her career from an astronaut to the cop because of the rabbit's recently event that cleared the case of the century; Investigation of the 14 Missing Mammals.

"Hm," the veteran said as she pinned the badge on her junior's blue uniform. That officially named the junior as Officer Sharla Woola, A.K.A. 'Officer S. Woola'. The senior officer pulled back once the pin was placed in.

Officer S. Woola, the black sheep, smiled as she was saluted by her best friend, Officer Judy Hopps, before she mimicked the rabbit's action, along with her white-wooled brother.

The flashback ended as Sharla continued to moving away from the dusk side, slightly shaking her head as she tried to deal with the change of her best friend's condition. It was also coincidence that Judy Hopps was the very target of the current case the sheep was investigating. She fought against each and every urge in her system to not turn tail and run like a true prey would normally do. It was because she sensed the danger, but it was because of the mammal that she had never wanted to acknowledge as… the way she would be from the bunny's biggest case.

"Unnh," she grunted as she watched the second grey paw, which also was dressed with a gauntlet like the first one, but at the shoulder was a torn sleeve of the blue police uniform.

The familiar face was pulled out of the darkness, exposed her profile to the trembling sheep. The rabbit's body came in the light, which revealed her police uniform that was still in its good shape with the exception of the sleeve on her left arm.

"Judy," the rookie whispered as she watched the rabbit on her fours slowly approach.

Like Judy Hopps, Sharla Woola also possessed the best detective skill and technic. Once she realized that Judy went missing since Friday because the rabbit turned her back to Chief Black. She added up the reasons why Officer Fangmeyer and Officer McHorn, if the sheep recalled the cop names right, had also left the service. But the only major point on the list that she was missing was Judy's partner. He disappeared on the day before the new chief took over. That had little to no connection to the rest of events she have seen recently. At last, Judy was on her fours and was now holding her position.

"Go," the rabbit whispered, which encouraged her best friend from the farm to do whatever the lamb could do for her own good.

Sharla sighed in relief, at least her best friend didn't lose her mind to that situation. It was like the case that the first bunny cop closed seven months ago. Sharla reached for the radio that sat on her shoulder.

"Chief Black… the nest has been found, and… it's empty. There's nothing here," she explained the details to the device.

"What with those cases involving the Rainforest District? Turn in the file, and you're on Parking Duty tomorrow!" the voice barked angrily before the line was disconnected.

"Judy," Sharla started as her hoof left the radio, "Whatever you do. I hope that it's for the right reason."

"Yes," Judy answered as she turned around and made her way into the dark side, where she vanished like a droplet of water falling into the ocean.
