At a local hospital located somewhere near Downtown Zootopia, the doctors and nurses were assessing with the medical case of the still-unconscious female ferret that Daniel saved earlier. As they worked, one of the doctors checked her vitals and plastered a horrified look on his face since he realized that her heart stopped beating.
'Doctor, the patient's heart stopped!'
'Set the defibrillator on to 200!'
The medical surgeons removed the excess clothing while a medical technician prepared the charged defibrillator.
'Clear!'
'All Clear!'
The technician then gave the patient an electric shock to revive her. The medical machine still gave a flat line.
'Damn it. I need more juice!'
The technician started to rub the pads again while the other doctors increased the electric currents of the defibrillator.
'Okay. Clear!'
'All Clear!'
The technician gave the female ferret a second electric shock again. Luckily, her heart finally beating normally.
'Vitals stable. Increase the oxygen intake to the patient.'
'Alright. Let's remind the others that this one's lucky to be alive.'
...
While the medical teams started to maneuver the ferret onto her designated room, Emperor Splero and his own entourage finally arrived. Immediately, the monarch approaches the leading doctor.
'Doctor.'
'Ah. Whaji Davay, Emperor Spleriia.'
'Doctor, how is she?'
The male honey badger dressed in medical uniform sighed.
'This ferret nearly lost her life, Your Majesty but good thing we revived her in the nick of time.'
Daniel perked up.
'S-She did?'
'Yep. Wait a minute. You're the one who saved her, right?'
Daniel nodded.
'How did you know that it was me, Doc?'
'One of my men told me earlier when this patient was being brought in. I must say that you're a great rescuer yourself too because this female ferret was now rushed here at the critical moment. We could have lost her in the delay.'
'I u-understand.'
The honey badger places a paw over his shoulder to reassure him up.
'Anyway. Follow me and your entourage to the ferret's room. The patient appeared to have regain some consciousness.'
Splero cleared his throat.
'Umm...Doc?'
'Hmm?'
'There's some sad info about this patient ferret that you're dealing with.'
'Really? What is it, Sire?'
Splero sighed tensely.
'The female ferret's parents were all dead in the fire earlier. Two of my men noticed them and they were being burnt beyond recognition.'
'I see. I think those were the bodies that were being brought here a few moments ago.'
'You do?'
The male honey badger nodded.
'Those poor souls were in the morgue as we speak. The corners were now assessing their corpses.'
'Alright. Please write down the info that I told you about the ferret and the deceased. If you needed some more info, just let me or my entourage know of.'
'Sure thing, Emperor Spleriia.'
Splero then faces to Nick, Judy, Kalir, Chimpan and Daniel.
'Alright, guys. Let's visit the ferret.'
The entourage then followed him towards to the perspective room.
...
Inside the room, the female ferret started to open her eyes. She then looked around and realized that she was inside a hospital. The ferret also noticed that she's wearing a medical gown and a medical IV that was injected on her right paw.
'W-What the? Where am I?'
A female tiger dressed in medical uniform then approached to her side as she checked the IV bag.
'You're being brought here from the fiery inferno, miss.'
'F-Fiery inferno?'
'Yep. You're the lucky one from the burning apartment not far from here. Good thing there's someone who rescued you.'
The female ferret slightly nodded. The door then opened and a group of furries and non-furs appeared. When Daniel stepped into the room, the ferret's eyes opened widely.
'Wait. I-I know you.'
Daniel waved at her with a small smile.
'Hi there, girl.'
'You're...You're the one who save me!'
'That's right. I just wanted to check up on you.'
Emperor Splero then cuts him off.
'Umm...Daniel? I'll handle this.'
'Oh. O-Okay, Sire.'
The ferret plastered a curious look on her face.
'Who are you?'
'Greetings, miss. My name is Spleriia Splero. I'm one of the responders in putting out the fire at the burning apartment and in commanding some men at rescuing the others there. We just wanted to tell you something.'
'Really?'
'Yeah but before we do, please don't let your emotions or feelings overwhelm you because what we about to say would make you...'
Splero didn't finished the sentence. The female ferret went confused.
'I...I don't know what are you talking about, Sir.'
Judy then took a few steps forward.
'Miss. The Emperor was actually faced with a grim fact. This seems to be shattering but the truth is that your parents were both dead.'
The female ferret was stunned with a horrified look on her face.
'W-What?! They're all d-dead?'
Judy nodded while Splero bowed down his head.
'We're so sorry for your loss. We really do.'
The ferret started to sob.
'I-I believe this. My parents are dead!'
As she cried, Daniel simply approached her and he calmed her down by carefully patting her back.
'I'm so sorry, girl. I really do.'
The female ferret continue to sob as Daniel tried to calm her down. Splero and the others simply bowed their head down in sadness while emotions overwhelm the moment inside the very room.
