Hey everybody, and if any of you were wondering we usually start the next chapter right after I post an update or the next day.

I've been working myself into severe exhaustion but I'm getting better.

And I thank you for that.

Writing for Deathblade and then writing for my own stories can get very exhausting. But I love to write and help others so it's worth it.

Once we are done with this arc you can take a break and write your own if you'd like.

I'll keep helping you for as long as you'll want me to.

Judy and Nick set to work right away with trying to figure out who kidnapped her sister. As they went through many images from other mammals photos on their mobile devices, Nick caught something out of the ordinary. He saw an image of a hybrid mammal. A mix between a fox and a badger. Nick froze on the spot.

"Nicky what's wrong?" Judy asked her mate, "This mammal...he shouldn't be alive..h-he died!" Nick finished obviously very shaken up. Judy was concerned for her fox, 'why does this mammal make him so nervous?' she asked herself. "Is everything ok?" Judy heard her father ask. "Nope, we're both naked watching the discovery channel!" Stu about fainted hearing this, the buck awkwardly cleared his throat then spoke. "U-um well your moth-mother asked me to tell you b-both that supper is about re-ready."

Judy opened the door with Nick behind her. "Okay thank you daddy! We'll be there in a sec." Judy responded to her dad. Nick snickered seeing his mates father's eyes the size of silver dollars. Judy shut the door then turned to Nick. "What is it about that mammal that has you all shaken up." Nick looked down towards the floor, the memories flooding back to him.

"He, he is my half-brother." The fox said quietly. Judy stopped in her tracks. "Y-your half-brother?" Judy stood in awe. "My dad had an affair with a badger, it's the reason my parents aren't together." Judy put her left paw on her mates arm to help comfort him. "Whenever I visited my dad he and I always played together, until one day.. We were playing by a pretty deep river. My back was turned when he fell in and was swept away by the current."

Judy had tears forming in her eyes as Nick told his heart-wrenching story. Right when Nick was about to speak, his pocket started vibrating. He took his phone out of the aforementioned pocket, looked at the ID of the caller seeing it was unknown. "Hello?"

"I have something you may want" the voice replied. "Who is this?" Nick asked. "You'll find out soon enough and if you don't think I'm serious I'll have a fluffy rabbit coat." The phone hung up as Nick's eyes widened and the phone dropped out of his hand onto the floor. "He has her.." Nick said. "Who?!" Judy asked. "My brother, Caspian."

Judy just looked down not knowing what to say. Nick pulled out his phone and called Bogo. "Sir, can you send out an arrest warrant to Caspian Wilde?" Nicholas spoke into the phone. "Caspian Wilde….file says deceased." Bogo replied. "He's not trust me, I just got a call from him, he has Abby." Nick stated to the buffalo grimly. "Ok it's done Wilde, I'll call if we get anything." He hung up. Nick put his phone back in his pocket. Judy knew more about her life mate than most mammals, well except for his mother of course.

Nick wrung his paws together tightly. Thinking of why of all times his brother decides to come back, he chose now. With that thought in his mind, Nick pulled out his phone then dialed a certain number.

(At the hospital)

In room 276 a burly red fox lay in the bed. Tubes and wires hooked up to him. Nurses walked in and out of his room, checking his vitals and adjusting his morphine drip. As the nurse that worked the night shift came in to check Gideon's vitals, she got the shock of her life. "mmmm" the nurse turned to see the fox's eyes open to only slits. She gasped as she hurried over to the fox. "I-I need a phone." is all Gideon said. The nurse complied with his wish and got him an extension from the hospitals dialed a number in and a peculiar bunny answered. "Gideon you're awake, ok, Nick and I will be there asap." She hung up and Gideon handed the phone back to the nurse.

Nick and Judy walked into the hospital room and saw the farmer awake and doing better. Nick decided to speak up first. "So you know who took Abby right?" "Yea I-I do." The bigger fox replied. "It's my brother." Both foxes said at the time.
