Judy was driving full speed, sirens blaring, as Nick held on for dear life.

It was nearly night time, and Mr Big wasn't open to just anyone when he was angry. Plus, he looked his gates just in case anyone tried to 'steal' from him. Like there was anything to steal.

They pulled up at the gates, with Nick half alive, nearly unstuffing the car seat, eyes as wide as saucers.

Judy sped out at rocket speed, slamming the door shut. Nick only just got out in time before Judy locked him in the car with no hope of escape.

"Carrots, you're going to kill me with your speed!" he cried, puffing as he caught up with his best friend, leaning against his knees as his tail swept the dust. Still panting, he looked up at Mr Big's door, then at Judy, who bounced up and rang the doorbell. She landed back down in great precsion, then looked up at her partner sweetly, raising one of Nick's eyebrows.

The fox stood up after recovering from his mad sprint, tucking his paws into his pant pockets, looking up as they waited for someone to answer.

And someone did, and it was Mr Big's biggest bodyguard. He stood there at the door, staring down at the two officers. His expression seemed to be saying what do you want now?

However Judy wasn't intimidated, as she smiled up at the gigantic creature.

"Hi, I'm Officer Judy Hopps, we've met before? I just want to ask Mr Big a few questions, nothing bad, I just need to know something,"

"He, isn't in trouble or anything, don't worry," Nick added, and the polar bear finally nodded, stepping to the side, allowing them to walk in. As soon as they did, he closed the door, bolting it shut. Nick jumped slightly at the sound of the door slamming, but Judy tugged him by the paw, making him calm down slightly as he remembered the bunny was there.

The two walked down the hallway, back into the room where Judy had first met Mr Big, and then again when they had nearly iced Weaselton. Good times, Nick chuckled, as they stopped in front of the desk, where Mr Big was satuated. The tiny shrew looked up at them in slight surprise, as Judy stepped forward. They had agreed that she would do the talking, just in case Nick did or said something stupid, and the fox had much abliged, since he wasn't in the mood for angering Mr Big yet again, only because he had just got away with the skunk rug incident.

"Hello, Mr Big. Sorry to disturb you, but we have a couple of questions to ask about the massacre that has just occurred of the all prey mass murder? We would really appreciate it,"

"Of course, anything for my grand daughter's godmother," the small shrew replied with a brisk nod, slightly nicer than per usual.

"Thank you! Ok, so may I please start with asking if you know who this may be?" Judy asked, hopping right to it. She held up the picture of the polar bear near the massacre, and Mr Big leaned in, examining the picture with mild interest.

"He seems to be wearing one of your body guard outfits, and we were wondering if you could identify who it could be,"

"Ah, yes, 'e seems to be one of my newest bodyguards. Ah, Bergson, Alfred Bergson, that's it. Frisco, bring the young lad in and we can ask him," the shrew directed to the nearest polar bear, who nodded, and disappeared through the back door, probably to fetch Alfred. Judy grinned in anticipation, looking back at Nick who nodded in approval, paws, as usual, tucked in his pockets, the sly smirk on his face. Judy shook her head in amusement, as she turned back to Mr Big.

"So, do you have any idea why he was there, at the mass murder? Not that he could have been behind it, of course!" Judy asked, adding the last bit hurridly as not to offend Mr Big, but the shrew didn't seem to be.

He trusted the bunny.

"V'well, on the day, I had sent Alfred to go get some groceries, and he went, ove course. He is a very loyal servent, but when he went, the news flash came up. I was scared to death of what could have happened to him, but he reported back alive, which was relieving. But I do not know what the lad saw, just that he had witnessed a goat being slaughtered right in front of him. That was enough for me to stop questioning him, since he must 'ave been scarred at that," Mr Big ended, shaking his head sadly.

"I feel so sorry for all those prey, but I do not suspect that it was a predator that did it," Judy finished scribbling down Mr Big's version of the story, and looked up from her notepad. Nick walked up next to her, and looked down at the notes.

"So, you don't know if Alfred saw any of the murderers?" the fox questioned, looking up at the shrew questioningly.

"No, I did not. I could not bear to put him through that much torment, and I don't think I he would have told me, he was scared mute. You will 'ave to ask him yourself,"

"Ok, will do," the fox nodded, as his ears pricked up. The polar ear from before, Frisco, entered with asmalled polar bear beside him, who was glancing everywhere nervously. Upon seeing Nick and Judy, he gave a short sigh of relief, although he still seemed a bit tense.

This must be Alfred.

"Alfred, I'd like you to meet Nick and Judy. They are here to question you about the mass murder you witnessed, so tell them everything you know, ok?" Mr Big said, gesturing to the two cops before him. The young polar bear nodded his head thoroughly, and walked over to the two quickly.

"So, I will leave you to it. I have some, matters I need to tend to. I hope you find what you are looking for, rabbit, and if there is anything else you need, you know where I am. Nick," he nodded at the fox, who looked down at him, "take care, and don't go selling young Alfred any skunk rugs, eh?"

Nick laughed nervously at that, as he glanced at the young polar bear, "Of course, sir, I won't,"

"Good. Ok, I will be going now. Until next time, dear friends, until next time," the crime boss nodded, as Frisco picked his tiny chair up. The to exited the room, along with all the other polar bears, leaving only Nick, Judy and Alfred, who turned back to the two top cops.

"So what d'you want to know?" he asked, drawing a chair over and sat down. Judy scanned over him, as she wondered how old he was. The polar bear was young, but still twice as big as Nick, with creamy fur, just a bit more yellow than the average polar bear. He wore the normal Mr Big bodyguard suit.

"Well, first off, did you see the murderers?"

"Umm…" the polar bear hesitated, looking down at the ground as he seemed to think the question over.

"I did, see some shadows… disappearing after that goat was slaughtered…."

"Do you know how the animals were, killed?" Nick asked, as the polar bear looked back up. Judy nodded, ushering the young bear to go on, as she quietly congratulated Nick for the choice in question. He definetly was the best partner she could ever have.

"They were killed in an amount of ways. Some were killed through thrown knives, others by being strangled through metal wires. It was mayhem, just like the traps were set up just for that reason! But the most common killing weapon was guns. There were so many bullets flying everywhere! But the strange thing was, even if it was in a shopping centre, all of the predators seemed to have an invisible bubble protecting them, which was quite weird. It was like the murderers were trying to prove a point, but I don't know what it was! It was also weird how the all predator activist group were outisde with a protest about the food for predators, and how all of the weaponary seemed to be coming from their direction! I couldn't really see much, but I did see a kind of wolf-like shadow on the ceiling beams, but I couldn't be sure," the polar bear concluded, looking up at the two cops as he concluded his explanation.

"On the beams, you say?" Nick asked thoughtfully, looking up at the ceiling, "Where, exactly, on the ceiling?"

"Oh, it was near the fruit produce section, where I was getting some herbs for Mr Big's big banquet," Alfred confirmed, nodding again as he remembered.

"The fruit produce section… Got that, Carrots?" the fox asked, looking down at the bunny who had just finished writing.

"Yup, all down,"

"Well, we have some carrot shopping to do, Alfred. Thanks for the info, it has been a big help!" Nick cried, as he put his paw out to shake the polar bear. Alfred shook Nick's paw, which hurt slightly, since the polar bear's grip was so strong, making Nick wince slightly.

"Oh, so glad I could help!"

"Yeah, we better get going, thanks Alfred!" Judy said, tucking her notebook into her belt, where it clicked into a clip.

"Thanks again, say my best wishes to Mr Big and Fru Fru!" and with that, the cops were off, with quite a big lead, as they sprinted out the room and into the hallway. They ran up, and exited the giant mansion, where they hopped into their car.

"Well, it isn't too far, at least," Judy reasoned, as she buckled herself in, and started the engine. Nick nodded in approval.

"Yeah, and Fluff?"

"Hmm?"

"Can we get some blueberries while we're at it?"

"Nick, this is no time-"

"Please?"

"Fine, but only after the case is solved,"

"Yes!" the fox cried, as they started to drive out of the driveway, and out on to the street.

"Next stop, Tundratown's Main Shopping Centre,"


Hey everyone, I updated, yay! So, sorry for not updating in FOREVER, but I have been quite busy lately, and up to my neck in life. But now I am free and am going to write as much as I can!

So I hope you enjoyed this, and don't worry, the collars are coming!

Poor Alfred, I feel sorry for torturing him by making him experience that, but sacrifices have to be made. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and until next time, Carrots!

P.S The mystery will begin next chapter, I swear on my tail!
