Nick recalled the memories, thinking hard and over. He snapped out of his daze and refocused on the prison cell he was in, trying to clear his head and focus.

For the first time in his life, felt completely hopeless. He was in an orange jumpsuit and trapped in a prison cell. His mind was a complete mess and rapidly flipping through different thoughts, he was thinking of escape, his friends, how he got into this mess. He felt there wasn't a point, nobody listened to him. After he was arrested, he tried to explain to the rabbit officer and wanted to know why he was arrested, she didn't give any reason and ignored him. No matter what he told the rabbit officer, she wouldn't listen, and it only made the situation practically worse.

Even if he went through the system of determining if he was guilty or not, that wasn't going to help. He was going to be tried and if he knew anything about being tried, the jury was going to be completely prey-only. Convincing anybody got him nowhere, he simply had to escape, hang low and out of sight for a bit. He just needed some kind of opening…

Nick's door was opened, this made him feel a chance was coming, he was handed a quarter, it was going to be given as his phone call as he requested.

Nick followed the rhino cop as he scanned his surroundings, he wasn't handcuffed, and to his surprise, there was a door accidentally left open. That was all he was able to get as he was shoved forward. "One phone call." The rhino cop growled as Nick turned to the phone, and tapped his foot.

The fox debated if running would even work, but the rhino was rushing his decision now, and his mind was screaming for him to take the 'flight' path.

Nick flicked the coin around his fingers until it was in between two of his fingers, appearing to be hidden to the back of his paw and looked at the rhino, who was eyeing him suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"The quarter, why are you doing that?"

"…Oh! That's nothing.. I just like magic, it's interesting. You know, trickery of the mind?"

"I know what magic is, I know the tricks they do."

"Yeah, you know.. The way they do is that they make their audience so focused on them, they have them forget to check their surroundings and focus on the one talking."

The rhino blinked, and just noticed, Nick wasn't in front of the phone anymore, he was in front of an open door, "Hey!"

Nick took the bold decision to run as fast as he could to the open door, and didn't even bother looking back. He just ran, and until he was outside again. Being in a dark prison would make it blinding for Nick to see outside, not to mention, he usually wore sunglasses, but this wasn't the time to complain. He ran as fast he could through the city, running through the street to the sidewalk. He ran past shops, quickly looking around for a way to run away undetected. He heard a loud crash and saw the rhino stumbling of a basket of blueberries, the female lion owner upset by it. Nick took advantage of this and ran into an alley until he was in another part of the city.

Nick noticed he wasn't being followed, but kept running to the nearest phone where he would be hidden and put the quarter in, dialing a number quickly.

A short ring was interrupted quickly, as if expected,

"Who is this, how'd you get this number?"

"Finnick, it's me, Nick!"

"Oh geez…" Finnick's voice sounded like he was in sincere regret,

"I saw you get taken away, what even happened?!"

"These cops think I'm the fr-" Zap! "Ow! They think I'm the savage!"

"Beautiful! What do you want me to do?"

"I panicked and escaped the prison! I need to hide or something!"

"I'm in my van at the alley near that elephant ice cream shop, that's too far for you get to me, and me to you.."

"Well, I'm certain I'm in the center of the city right now, where's the best place to hide?"

"Center? If you're in the center of the city, cut through Little Rodentila and keep going north, you'll reach Honey's place, it's actually not too far away!"

A police siren wailed behind Nick as he turned around, it was the same bunny cop!

"Gah! I got to get out of here!" Nick cried out, dropping the phone and ran away, leaving it dangling. "Nick? Nick, man what happened! Nick? NICK!?"

Nick rushed to Little Rodentila and stopped to turn around. The bunny was coming right at him, and he spun around to to climb the fence, and jumped over, trying not to hurt anyone, and dashed off. As expected, Little Rodentila was small to navigate through, and Nick got to the center quickly, passing the "Big Doughnut", he crossed over to the right where the bunny tackled him, making him flip and toss her off, he passed some buildings to squeeze through.

The bunny jumped over, landing on a small building and accidentally tilted it over, causing a domino effect with other buildings, nearly crushing Nick, he swiftly used his weight to push the buildings back in place and fled again to the north, he jumped and dived past some more buildings to hide behind. The bunny didn't notice him, and watched past the buildings, her taser armed. Nick tilted his head only to see all the small animals watching him, it made him uncomfortable and made him crawl back into the fence he needed to get out.

He got out undetected and ran quickly away north, making it back to Honey's place, which was also his home. He banged on the door and collapsed to the side of the door, he was more exhausted than he realized. The door opened to a very concerned Honey as she let Nick in, "It's a long story.. I need some rest and I need to hide." Nick slurs his words as Honey grabs him some water.

Nick explained everything, from the savage, to his escape from a prison, "Finnick told me you were taken away.. I never thought you would ever be mistaken for that." Honey sighs.

"You like conspiracies, Honey? Can you please help me find any information for this guy, the 'Savage'?" Nick pants, "I will, but you should hide in my bunker for maybe a week unless something else comes up, I think that'll have them lose focus on you." She says with a confident tone, "I hope so.." Nick sighs. His life was all messed up now, and he probably made it worse, even if the police find out he isn't the "Savage", he would certainly be in trouble for escaping a prison, and something would be added from Little Rodentila.

Nick collapsed in the bunker bed, he was exhausted. How could he convince the police he was innocent, now that he was technically an escaped convict?


Just a quick note, this was my first time writing an action scene, so I'd be interested to know how that came out to you guys. Anyway, I'll update soon, I keep rewriting these chapters a little too much. :P
