Chapter 8: Interacting with the Officers
Back at ZPD, half of the teen lions were taken into custody while the driver of the car is treated for injuries at a hospital and we all got back to the department after an very unconventional first tour around Zootopia and I took a deep exhale as I walked behind Judy and Nick and I had thought to myself, 'I didn't have this on my first day as an officer at Bunga Town'. But it's nothing new to me when it comes to situations like this and I knew that whatever assignment I got will not be a small feat and when we all came back to the assignment room, Chief Bogo comes in front of us and gives most of the officers some more assignments for the day after an unorthodox alert involving those teen lion thieves, which is sorta like a launching ground.
As we made our way back to the bullpen, I saw Clawhauser bobbing his head to something playing on his PawPad and just jerking his shoulders around like some kind of dance movement he's doing and I couldn't help but stare at him for a second because I could kinda tell that he's different from all the other police dispatchers in Bunga Town and when Clawhauser saw me staring at him, he slowly stopped and looked a little bit embarrassed by it and said, "How much of it did you see?"
"Well...I would say all of it." I responded.
Clawhauser giggled in response to that and just responded, "Sorry! I just can't get enough of Gazelle. She's like my beautiful angel princess."
Clawhauser sighed at the sight of her face when he looks at the monitor and I hadn't have been in Zootopia less than 24 hours and I was a little caught off guard over what happens at ZPD with the officers there. I cleared my throat and asked, "Can I ask you something? I've seen anything and everything Gazelle when I got to Zootopia yesterday. What's so great about Gazelle?"
Just then, Clawhauser dropped his jaw in shock and puts down his PawPad almost as if he was shocked at what I just said to him and he looks at me and said, "She's only the biggest pop star here in Zootopia! She is all for acceptance and equality for all animals and plus...she's gorge! Very, very gorge! You should listen to her!"
"Okay then..." I added, with gritted teeth.
"Gazelle is my first celebrity girl-crush, by the way. " Pandahaugton pointed out, raising his paw.
Clawhauser gasped in shock and joy that Pandahaughton is a big fan of Gazelle as much as he is and asked, "You are?!"
"I have every poster of her all over my new apartment and I even dressed like her on Halloween last year!" Pandahaughton exclaimed.
"Serious?" asked Clawhauser, excitedly.
"Very! I even have Gazelle pink underwear!" Pandahaughton added, happily.
Clawhauser became completely amazed that there's another superfan of Gazelle in the same police department and he said, "I gotta find a pair of Gazelle underwear!"
"I heard that they have a pink glittery pair with Gazelle's face in rhinestones coming out in less than a week for all Gazelle superfans!" Pandahaughton exclaimed.
"Are there any Gazelle superfans besides you guys?" I asked, being a little curious.
"Chief Bogo is a big fan of Gazelle, but he doesn't tell anyone nor admit it. But I did catch him in a Gazelle app on his PawPod and I knew I wasn't the only one who's a super Gazeller as much as I am. I did catch him one day in his office wearing Gazelle underwear while dancing to a new song she put out on her SoundHound." Clawhauser added.
And that was a little more too much info that I needed to know about it and Clawhauser got back on his desk and it left me, Tigro, Judy and Nick a little baffled by this and I said, "Wow..."
"Remind me to ask Chief Bogo about being a part of the Gazelle herd." Nick muttered.
"I don't think we should ask him that, Wilde." Judy stated, elbowing him.
"Ask me what?"
Judy and Nick looked up and sees a very curious Chief Bogo standing there, staring at Judy and Nick under the impression that he might've overheard a few things there and he looked up at me and said, "Wait for me in my office. I have an assignment for you on your first day that either Hopps or Wilde will assist with...if they get a chance to."
"Nice going, Wilde." Judy muttered.
"Really, carrots?" Nick muttered back.
