How Do Solve a Problem Like a Monster?
Once Judy had composed herself and appeared to be in better spirits, the topic of what they needed to do with the monster finally came up. Drew mentioned to Judy that it would have been easier to have killed him as they couldn't just leave him to be found and then inform the powers that be that a computer technician had stolen their prize bunny.
Judy suggested they could gag him and hide him in a closet, but Drew was afraid that once he is discovered missing, security would check everywhere for him. They need to make sure that if Simon was found, that he couldn't tell them about what had happened to their lab specimen. While they are discussing their various options, their favorite torturer woke up groggily and finally opened his eyes only to see his torture target standing on two legs having a heated conversation with a young dark haired man in a white lab coat. He stared wide eyed and then started to make a gagging sound as they turned to look at him. He weakly raised his finger pointing at Judy and made a strange noise, and then his eyes rolled up in his head and he slumped down on the ground passed out cold.
"You know Judy, I am getting the feeling that he didn't know you were a walking talking bunny. In fact I believe those collars and those small cages were definitely used to make sure that he and none of the other lab techs had any clue about your real nature." Drew postulated.
Judy looked at Drew with her head cocked to one side and he could see she was deep in thought. "Another mystery." She finally stated, "But that doesn't excuse how this piece of carrot shavings treated me."
He held my hands up defensively, "I know, I know, I never said that. Piece of carrot shavings... is that the best word you could come up for him? I can think of a lot more colorful things."
She ignored the comment, "I don't want to leave him here to get away with what he has done so he can do this to other animals, but I also know we can't kill him."
After a bit of thought Drew's face brightened and he asked Judy to make a list of charges the monster was guilty of, "Judy we can't call him the monster on the report as that name could apply to a whole lot of people, in fact most all of the humans working in this entire section."
He dug into the monster's pocket until he found an ID badge and held it up to Judy. "There we go. The monster in question known as Simon Filcher." He said with a grin pocketing the ID as he knew that you never knew what might come in handy getting out of this place.
Judy scanned the tables and quickly located one of the notepads and grabbed a pen from a nearby table and began to furiously write down a whole list of charges this Simon was guilty of. In the meantime Drew grabbed his reference pad and began to search for drugs, and checked the refrigerated glass cabinet for anything that looked promising.
As Judy finished the second page of charges, he got a smile and yelled, "Eureka!" He then grabbed a drug and measured an injection into a syringe and then crushed up a pill and mixed it into a small cup of water. He then began to feed the cup of liquid with the crushed pill to their buddy Simon helping him swallow the entire contents and then injected him with the second drug. Judy looked at Drew suspiciously asking what he was doing. He informed her he gave Simon a strong dose of both Ketamine and Rohypnol.
"It sounds like you are speaking a foreign language." Judy stated with frustration in her voice.
Drew explained both these drugs caused amnesia and that Simon won't be telling anyone anything about them for awhile if ever.
He could see she had a dubious look of I just spared this joker's life and now you are killing him. He let her know that he only meant that Simon might not ever remember exactly what happened here.
They noticed all the samples and vials spread all over the lab, and they gathered these all up as well as the white collar and stuck them down the hazardous waste chute for burn disposal. Drew then wiped any data concerning Judy from the equipment in the room and keep some of her fur that had been cut off and left it sticking out of the corner of the hazardous waste chute. They both pulled Simon up into the chair and placed him slumped over the keyboard.
Drew wished he could have taken for credit this plan, but Judy was the brilliant mind who came up with this whole scheme. Judy explained to him that anyone walking by would just see Simon working on the computer. Anyone entering will assume Simon tossed all the samples and her body down the hazardous waste chute for destruction and erased all data concerning her presence.
"Judy, you have a beautiful brilliant devious mind. I don't know if this will work, but I think it may buy us a good chunk of time. Now if we can only get out of this place without being caught." Drew expressed with awe at the imaginative mind of his new bunny acquaintance.
Judy handed him three pages of charges with Simon Filcher's name at the top. She looked at him holding her paws flared at her outfit explaining, "No pockets."
So Drew folded the list up and slipped it into the case with his portable SSD drive. He got a thoughtful look and gave her a mischievous smile, "You know if we ever find this Zootopia of yours I have some interesting ideas on some fitting justice we can hand out to old Simon here."
Inside his head he was doing the Dr. Evil laugh while daydreaming of possible just desserts for this douche-bag.
