Deep in the rainforest district

5:00 P.M Zootopia Time

(Kowalski's POV)

Judy and Nick lead me through the walkways and ladders of the lower canopy of the rainforest district. "The Old ZPD safehouse should be around here somewhere," judy said looking at an old yellowed map of the district. "could it be the treehouse over there that says police safehouse?" Nick asked. We stop before a rope bridge that lead to a lone tree in the middle of a small clearing. The treehouse did in fact have a sign that read "Police safehouse".

We crossed the rope bridge and entered the treehouse. Inside was fully furnished apartment with all the modern amenities and a full service kitchen. A bathroom was off to one-side which nick quickly took advantage of. "Just testing out the pluming!" Nick shouted as he close the bathroom door. A few minutes later the sounds of running water echoed thru the safehouse. I ignored it and turned my attention to the central room. In the middle of the room was a table with a ZPD logo on it. On the table was a laptop and for some reason a digital video camera on a tri-pod.

Judy was in another room which was loaded with riot gear, guns, tasers, and specialized police equipment. I opened grabbed and turned on the video camera. "what are you doing?" Nick asked. "I need to contact my team in the future," I said, "so they can help us defeat shen." "It would also help to have a video if we don't survive this," Nick said. "just in case," I replied. Nick went up to the camera, "Okay this should be all set to record. Whenever your ready." Judy came up with her carrot shaped recorder pen. I looked at judy but she seemed to know the question I was about to ask. "I had a spare one," Judy said, "it's always a good idea to have a audio backup."

I slid the laptop over to nick, "get this ready…we may have to put a copy on here." Nick turned on the laptop and positioned the camera while I sat down on the sofa. "Okay nick," I said, "start recording…" Nick hit the recording button on the camera and gave me a thumbs up. If I was human and had glasses I would probably take them off right now for dramatic effect. But as I'm a penguin I don't wear glasses…though I probably should. With my absence of glasses I just settled for a serious expression.

"Skipper," I said, "IF you are watching this…It was an honor." "I am in the Rainforest District of Zootopia in the company of Officers Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps. I am currently being pursued by Lord Shen and his forces…I'm not sure how long I can keep them off my trail." I decided to keep my words relatively short and…well… simple. "I fear Lord Shen has weaked the barriers between this world and ours," I contiuned, "and who know what terrors from our universe will discover the breach…" Suddenly Judy was next to me, "Kowalski we need to get out of here! Shen is here!" oh great I didn't even get to say everything I wanted to say!

"You think you can hide in that treehouse forever?" Shen said, "well I have one thing to say about that…TIMBER!" The sound of a cannon firing could be heard in the distance. " "As I said," I said, "It was an honor…" A loud explosion knocked us off our feet and left a gaint hole in the side of the formerly safehouse. I heard nick struggling with the camera which was now damaged beyond repair. He opened the cover of the SD card slot as the army ran off to find a way up here. "Leave it!" I shouted as judy pocketed her pen, "quick the rope bridge!"

We rushed toward the door only to find Shen standing in the doorway. "Excellent Idea!" Shen shouted pointing his guan-dao at us. "How did he get up here so fast!" Judy said. "He can fly remember," I said. "Oh," Judy said. Shen looked over to the other side of the bridge. "CUT THE BRIDGE!" Shen shouted and his men trapped us by slicing thru the ropes. The bridge swung across the clearing and fell to the ground. "now," Shen said pointing at the safehouse, "BRING IT DOWN!" Shen flew out laughing as the cannons were fired as the tree. "TIMBER!" someone shouted as the tree went down taking the safehouse with it.

The top of the tree hit the ground with a bang as shen's army cheered. They all failed to notice the three of us slip away. Boss wolf however did and hit the nearest wolf in the shoulder. "You idiots! Stop celebrating!" he shouted, "there still alive!" He pointed in the direction we went and said, "After them!" "Kill them!" Shen shouted, "Somebody kill them!" A several wolves and gorillas ran into the forest after us. "They can't be far behind," Nick said, "we have to hurry!" "we need to go to sahara square!" Judy said, "we still have an active police station there!" "well then," I said hearing the far off wolves, "lead the way!" I failed to notice Nick slipping the SD card from the laptop into his shirt pocket. Where the heck are you skipper?
