The three of them sat down on chairs inside the house.
"Matthew and I grew up together. He started his own family. He married a girl we became friends with in high school. He had two great kids. A son and a daughter. I would come over and see them all the time…. . One day, about five years ago, when his kids were only 6 and 4 I went over to see them,"
Flashback
Logan had went over to a little cabin near the Rain forest District. He saw the son who was 6 and the daughter who was 4 playing. The son was just like his mother with her father's appearance. And the daughter was just like her father with her mother's appearance. Their mother was a very kind and noble red fox. She had ruby red fluffy fur, blue eyes and the tips of her ears were black. The two kids were playing by the river and Logan decided to play a trick on them. He walked over to them as quiet as possible.
"Boo!," he yelled.
The two kids screamed and climbed up over a large rock over Logan's head before turning around and glaring at him. He chuckled.
"Logan! Not nice!," the daughter said.
"Sorry kids. Do you know where you're father is?," he asked.
"Ya. He's inside jerk," the son playfully snapped.
"Great thanks," he said and started to walk away.
"Hey wait," the son started.
He looked around him.
"Come back here and get us down!,"
Logan smirked and kept walking. He was planning on getting them down on his way out if they didn't find a way themselves. They were smart kids.
"Logan?! Logan!," the son called out.
He went over to the door and rang the doorbell. The mother answered it.
"Logan," he said happily and hugged him smiling. "Did you see the kids?," she asked.
"Ya. Their growing so fast," he said.
He went inside the house. He saw Mathew.
"Hey Matt," he said.
"Hey. You almost ready for our picnic?,"
"Ya just came over to make sure you guys didn't need any help packing,"
"No. We're just about ready to pack the picnic basket. Pick us up in about an hour?,"
"Ya sure. See you then,"
He said goodbye to the two adult foxes and the two kids who had found a way down from the rock. He drove away and came back in an hour. He drove over to the house but what he saw shocked him. The house was trashed. The windows on the level floor were broken, the doors were scratched and the car was gone. He got out of his car and ran into the house using his spare key.
"Guys!?," he called out.
No one answered. The inside of the house was even worse. The lights were out, the wallpaper was scratched, most of the shattered glass littered the floor and all the furniture had been knocked over. He took out his phone and was about to call Matthew but then he heard movement and a growl.
"Hello?," he said as he put his phone in his pocket and approached the sound. Suddenly Mathew came out of the corner, his fur was all matted, he was drooling and his eyes were wide and looked insane.
"You OK Matt?,"
"Oh I'm doing just fine Old Buddy," he said in an insane voice.
"Why don't you come play with me Logan? With this mallet?," he said slowly approaching Logan who slowly backed away, something was wrong, he could sense it.
"OK Matthew just relax-,"
Suddenly Matthew let the most terrifying scream he had ever heard. He got down on all fours and lunged at him. Logan screamed and ran out of the house and closed the door and leaned against it. Matthew popped his head out of the broken window.
"POP GOES THE WEASEL!," he screamed.
Logan screamed and ran away from the door and into his car and locked all the doors. He could hear Matthew's lunatic laughter but he didn't leave the house. He took out his phone and called a number.
"911 what's your emergency?,"
…
Cops ran into the door, restrained Matthew while he just kept laughing and they sedated him and took him away.
End of Flashback
"I tried to get a hold of Mary and the kids for 3 days, but I never got an answer. I thought…. I thought they were dead," he said, obviously shaken from the memory.
"Well with all due respect, why would you just report this now?," Judy asked gently.
"Well as I said, I thought they were dead until recently. I was talking to all the Zootopia schools for work and I went to the Zootopia Boarding School yesterday, and as I looked out to the audience during a speech, I saw a fox that looked exactly like Matthew's daughter. At first I thought I was just seeing things but then I asked the principal and she said it was her. I couldn't believe it, I was so choked up I couldn't even talk to her. I realized that if anyone knew what happened to Matthew she would. I couldn't find anything about her mother or brother," Logan explained.
"Don't worry sir, we'll get to the bottom of this, do you remember where the boarding school is?," Judy asked.
"No. I didn't get a good look at the name, but their mascot was the Rockers, I believe," Logan said.
Judy thought for a minute.
"Nick, would you know where the boarding school he's talking about is?,"
"Uh huh. That boarding school isn't too far from here," he said.
"Great let's go," Judy said.
