Everyone was all smiles today at the warehouse, the exhilaration from the previous night's raid still fresh in their minds. It was now around noon as Nick looked around, bemused that they were all still wide awake even though some of them hadn't slept for the last twenty-four hours. Walking past Mike he commented on the situation.

"Well, you all seem rather refreshed all things considered."

"Ha, well I could say the same about you. Mr. full time father and part time rogue."

"Well, with enough coffee just about anything is possible."

Their pleasant conversation was interrupted as Mabel raised a hoof and called over to them.

"Hey guys! I got something you're all going to want to see."

The rest of them headed over to her desk and gathered around in front of the oversized monitor. On the screen was a chat log between Whiz and Dr. S. Mabel tried her best to summarize what had been going on.

"This guy claims that he knows a lot more about Santiago's past as Julio Sanchez if we're interested." Nick smiled.

"Great! Though I'm curious, how would he happen to know about his past?"

"He says that he's his son." Nick's smile turned to awe.

"Wow. Well that is a good source isn't it? What does he want in return?"

"Nothing he says. He just wants us to help finally expose Santiago for all of his lies and betrayals."

"Can you get him on the phone?"

"I can do one better. I can get him on a video-chat if you wanna."

"Great! Did he say when he would be available to tell us all about our dear friend Julio?"

"He said he can take a break in an hour or two to talk to us."

"Good. Now if you'll pardon me, the scarlet rogue and the tawny bandit need to make an appearance."

An hour later, Nick and Finnick were set up where they normally filled their videos for announcements to the public. Nick gave his mask a few adjustments as Mike and Mabel finished setting up the voice masking system and the camera. Mabel gave Nick a countdown and then on a TV screen in front of him appeared the face of a very familiar puma. Nick couldn't help but comment on his identity given his surprise.

"Doctor Miguel Sanchez?" The doctor seemed to be taken aback by this. He was apparently talking to them from inside his doctor's office on his phone.

"How do you…? Well, I suppose being the Scarlet Rogue you must know a lot of things about a lot of people. As I told one of your friends, I am the son of Julio Sanchez, better known as Santiago Ramirez."

"Yes, you told the whiz about that already. We have some questions about him and his past if you don't mind." The puma nodded and shifted a little uncomfortably.

"Sure, but please be quick. I have to see another patient in a half hour."

"So, why did he change his name?"

"That bits pretty straightforward. He was a habitual gambler and was in a large amount of debt. He figured that changing his name would be an easy way to get away from his problems."

"Right, change names and move to a small town that no one has ever heard of."

"Exactly. I guess he must have learned his lesson."

"Apparently. So, what else do you happen to know about him?"

"Well, he always talked about how much ne hated living in Canidae. I guess he saw it as the reason why he was a failure. He had a cousin you see who ended up living in another part of the city. He got a good education, went to college and became a doctor. My father talked endlessly about him apparently. Well, that's what my mother says at any rate." A realization seemed to click in Nick's mind.

"Your mother? Wait, you don't know this stuff personally?"

"No, of course not. I wasn't even born yet you see."

"Oh." Nick could feel the tears welling up. He tried hard to push the thoughts out and focus on the task at hand.

"Do you need anything else?"

"Yeah. Did he have any unusual habits or mannerisms? Stuff that he would do every day." Doctor Sanchez paused for a moment as he thought the question over.

"Mother always complained about how he just had to write everything down."

"What do you mean?"

"He always had a ledger where he would write down all of the bets that he won or lost. He loved to keep track of details I guess. I can't think of anything else."

"That's fine, you've already given me more than enough information to bring him down I think."

"Good to hear! Now, if you'll pardon me, I have to go see a patient now."

Having everything that he needed, he ended the video-chat and took off the mask. Tears had been rolling down his face towards the end of the chat and the others could now tell. Finnick reached up and put a comforting paw on his arm.

"Hey man, chin up. A lot of us grew up without dads."

"I know. It's just… It still hurts sometimes; you know?"

Finnick patted him on the arm and walked off to grab him some coffee. Nick collected his thoughts and got up. There was still work to be done and a neighborhood to save. Checking the news, he was glad to see that protests were now a daily feature of life in Zootopia, and that the pressure was on not only Lionheart but also Santiago. Unfortunately, Santiago had said that he was still going ahead with the demolition regardless if an investigation was launched against him or not. Nick set down the tablet and went back to his arrayed maps. He had to find another target to hit to apply pressure to Santiago. It was apparent at this point that no matter how much evidence they put online that none of it would stick. Then again, maybe it was just because they hadn't looked for a big enough stash. Nick called Mabel over to his desk.

"So, what all have you learned from emails that we have collected so far?"

"So far? Well, I put all the ones online that prove that Santiago's companies are involved in city hall and its politics online."

"But you haven't found any that directly implicate him?"

"Well no, it seems that he is pretty good about covering his tracks."

"So what you're saying is that we haven't struck close enough to him yet." Mabel followed Nick's gaze before snapping back to him.

"You can't be serious. That place is going to be harder to get into than city hall." Nick grabbed a marker and circled the location of Santiago's corporate headquarters.

"Oh I'm serious. Besides, we need to keep the ZPD on their toes." Nick looked down at his phone to check the date, "Oh nuts."

"What?"

"The next morning my girls have a dance recital."

"Is that a problem?"

"For me? No. For Judy? Maybe."
