Manchas walked towards the trails that leads him to the busy nearby streets. When he arrived, the jaguar saw a lot of traffic that were lining up bumper to bumper. He could also see numerous pedestrians crossing and passing by in the sidewalks. Just a few steps away from the entrance of a small convenience store, Manchas would see a few Splenish human soldiers marching in the streets. Wearing green military uniforms, carrying rifles outfitted with bayonets and following a flag bearer that was holding a colored flag, the small group marched past the jaguar and a few bystanders.

'Soldiers again. That's the third time I see them in the streets.'

The feline let that though be swept onto the side and he entered the store. As he approached the counter, a female cheetah dressed with a white polo shirt, a pair of brown pants and a light grey apron faces to him.

'Hello, Sir. What can I help you?'

'Hi. I just wanted to buy a bottle of whiskey. Do you have any?'

'Hold on, Sir. I'm going to check it out.'

While Manchas waited, the clerk checked the beverage coolers and fridges. After a few moments, the cheetah returned with a bottle of whiskey on her paws.

'Here ya go. One bottle of whiskey.'

'Thanks.'

Manchas grabbed the bottle and he looked at the label. The label reads 'Class One Zootopian Whiskey. 15 percent alcohol'. The black jaguar smiled a bit.

'Class One, eh?'

'Yep. That's the kind available for the finest casinos, resorts and other VIP-friendly areas throughout Zootopia.'

'I'll take it. How much?'

'That would be 35 dollars.'

'Alright.'

Manchas then took out his wallet from his pocket. He gave the money to the clerk and everything were all set.

'Thank you, Sir. Come again soon.'

With the bottle on his paw, the feline exits the store and he walked through the streets back to his very home. Manchas was a bit excited to himself since he was about to taste the whiskey that he hadn't tasted before.

'I wonder what this would taste like?'

As he continued on walking, Manchas accidentally bumped into something. Luckily for him, he kept his grip on the bottle as he loses his footing and fell onto the ground. The feline regained his senses and he immediately apologized.

'Oh. I-I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking on where I'm walking to.'

'It's okay. I forgive you.'

Manchas then looked at the person he had bumped into and he realized that it was female black jaguar. The male jaguar regained his footing and he stood up.

'Are you okay?'

'Y-Yeah. I'm fine.'

'Give me your hand.'

'Thanks.'

The feline lend out his paw to the girl. The female jaguar grabbed his paw and Manchas helped her in standing up.

'I guess that I could apologize to you because I wasn't paying attention to where am walking to as well.'

'I see.'

'Yeah. I'm been searching for something. Something a bit valuable.'

Manchas started to be interested by her words.

'Something a bit valuable, you say?'

The female black jaguar nodded solemnly.

'I'm looking for the missing ring that I been wearing from earlier.'

Once he heard that, Manchas was surprised that he was facing the one who was missing a ring from Tundratown.

'Are you looking for your diamond ring?'

'Yeah. W-Wait. How did you know?'

'I know it because I have it on my pockets. I found it on the snow from Tundratown earlier.'

The female jaguar was bewildered.

'Really?! W-Where is it?'

'Whoa. Calm down, girl! There's no need for you to be rushed.'

Manchas then took the ring in his pocket and he shows it to the girl. The female feline checked it and she smiled very much.

'Oh thank you! Thank you for retrieving it, Sir!'

'You're welcome, dear.'

The female feline happily wears the ring back to her finger. She then looked at Manchas.

'I don't know what I could say next but I'm so grateful to you. By the way, my name is Laura. Laura Vedria.'

'Nice to meet you, Miss Laura. The name's Manchas. Renato Manchas.'

Both of them pawshaked with each other.

'It's great for me to return that ring back. I have that ring in my paws by a few hours now.'

'Yeah. I been looking to every place that I went from earlier. The reason why I lost that ring because it was a bit loose.'

'Have you tightened it up in a jewelry shop?'

'I'm afraid not because the jewelry shop was unexpectedly closed.'

'I see.'

Manchas cleared his throat.

'Well. You better keep a closer eye that ring next time, Miss.'

'Yeah. Thanks for the advice. I don't know how to show my gratitude to you for returning it back.'

The male black jaguar had an idea that was on his mind.

'I know. How bout if I invited you to my place for a good drink. I just brought this good bottle of whiskey from the store earlier.'

Laura nodded with a smile.

'That would be nice, Mr. Manchas.'

Manchas chuckled.

'Right then. Follow me, Miss.'

Manchas leads the way while Laura followed him.
