"Hopps, status check." "Everything appears clear sir." "Wilde, check in." "Nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can tell." The repetitive reports, the smoldering heat, and the absolute boredom was taking its toll on the ZPD officers. All anyone can do was just stand around and wait with their sidearms holstered. Surprisingly, it seems Ash and Clawhauser ironically got the best tasks of the day. For the most part, the two officers just played small card games and browsed on their phones, often times flashing each other with either something laughed about it. They even at one point sang a few duet like two foxes singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Eventually the cheetah took the opportunity to go out and get some more pastries and soda and Ash was left alone for a bit. Patrolling the empty building, he whistled around and eventually took the opportunity to head up to the break-room to grab a movie to pass the time. It's rather silly, with Ash frequently being assigned to night-shift (most likely due to his nocturnal capabilities), he just one day brought in a whole stack of movies he had lying around at home and stuffed them in a cabinet. Leaning back in a chair after taking advantage of the bull pen's projector, he just threw on Big Trouble in Little Rodentia and began zoning out from reality.
"Alright is everyone ready?" Chief Bogo inquired over the radio system; Everyone briefly piped in making a sort of massive tired response. A large chopper swooped in over the main street on the center of the dry desolate island. As each officer took a stand on every corner, every entrance, and every exit, blocked by a blue sentinel. Gently the helicopter descended, dust and sand being blown up from the sheer force of the wind being blown around by each blade of the copter. Making its touchdown destination, the rotor began slowing down, and the vehicle stopped at the end of the road. "The coast is clear, you are free to exit mayor!" Bogo called out front. Stepping out was Mayor Lionheart, who in his prideful manner waltzed down the street, a large kangaroo guard following alongside.
The news of the mayor's grand entrance spread around the isle like wildfire as citizens drove into to town to watch the fateful meeting. Pulling up into main street was a large limousine was their a local hyena who gained town fame during the past few elections. Exiting the plush car, he was briefly patted down as a precaution, trusting the force on site that the area was safe, the mammal proceeded down the path to greet the lion. "Good day sir ... ?" pausing in mid-welcome. "Rohrer, John Rohrer." the hyena chuckled out with a warm toothy grin. "Hello Mister Roh-er," the lion attempted to pronounce, but failed miserably. "It's 'Rohrer', just say it like the word 'Roar'." Apologizing for the slip up, the two walked together further down the street towards the the main office building; But something was off. Nick whispering over on the radio, "Hang on, that bodyguard our mayor has over there, does anyone have any confirmed identification?" "I'm not sure, why did you ask?" Judy questioned back. "I'm not sure if it's any real concern but something doesn't feel right..."
"So-ing-oe-f-l-right-" was all that pierced through the radio signal. Taking notice of the interference, Ash furrowed at the radio. Pausing his movie and tossing the remote across one of the desks, he grabbed the standby walkie talkie at hand and called out, "This is Alpha One, your signal wasn't clear, please repeat?" Static noise was all that emanated. "Hello is anyone out there?" More static. "Come on someone say something!" This time there was broken audio: Indistinct yelling. Worried, he sped out the door and ran into the break room to switch on the television; What shown up on the news was quite frankly disturbing. "BREAKING NEWS: MAYOR CATNAPPED, POLICE FORCE AMBUSHED." "You've got to be shitting me..."
