Judy's POV:
"Clawhauser!" I yelled, rushing to his desk, "I need the location of squad car 27, now!"
Without giving it a second thought or asking what was wrong, his chubby fingers typed feverishly on his keyboard before turning the monitor around.
Grabbing my notebook, I scribbled 59 Cherry St., 10672, down quickly, before placing it back in my belt. "Sorry Ben, but I don't have time to explain, thanks so much!" I said, running to the door. However, before I could reach them, I stopped and ran back to his desk.
"Need a car?" he asked, holding keys in his hand. "Squad 32."
"You're a lifesaver," I said before racing out the door for real this time. Running down the parking lot, I found squad 32 and jumped in, starting the ignition.
"Here I come!"
Nick's POV:
I knew that I didn't have much time until Carrots caught up with me. I knew that I was making a very rash and stupid decision by coming here alone, but he only told me where he was and if Judy brings backup with her, maybe we have a good chance at catching this guy if he thinks I came alone. Well, nevermind that, since when does Judy call for backup? Either way, I am determined to keep her out of it this time.
I drove as fast as I could without my light on, wanting to be as incognito as a squad car can be on the streets of Zootopia.
Deep breath Wilde, deep breath. I continued to say the closer I got to the location. You can face him on your own.
Finally, I took one last breath before making a right hand turn into an alleyway, parking my car. Before I opened the door, the radio system turned on.
"This is Officer Hopps requesting to speak to Officer Wilde." After a moment of silence, she spoke again. "Please don't do anything dangerous, I am on my way."
I grabbed the walkie in my hands, wanting to answer and tell her I'd be fine, but realizing how little time I did have until she gets here, I put it back down on the car seat and closed the car door with an echoing slam.
Walking down the alley, the crunch of the stones under my feet, the darkness, the… everything gave me the chills. As I approached the building, something caught my eye. Lying on the ground, up against the wall next to the staircase, was a muzzle.
I froze, just staring. Not knowing what to do. Then I heard a noise from the building.
The building where the scouts used to meet was now abandoned and no one had seemingly been there in years.
Taking a deep breath, I walked up the stairs, ready to make this guy pay. With an eerie creak, the door opened, revealing a black room with no windows or light. Grabbing my flashlight, I flicked it on, The door slamming closed behind me, I began to walk forward, shining my flashlight in every nook and cranny of the room.
The room was just as it was all of those years ago. It seemed as though every table and every chair were the same. Just covered in inches of dust and dirt.
My flashlight continued to scan the room before something white caught my attention. On a table in the back of the room was a piece of paper. As I walked closer to examine it, I noticed that there was something written on it.
Fool. I never wanted you to come alone. You will leave alone and stay alone because of this. I've always wanted to kill a rabbit.
All at once I realized why he didn't give Judy the address. He knew that I would come alone. He knew that Judy would follow me and find me even if I told her not to. He was going after her this whole time and I was a fool as to walk right into his trap.
I turned and sprinted to the door, pulling it. However, it didn't budge. I pulled and twisted the handle and it didn't open. I reached for my walkie, hoping to tell her it was a trap, finding it's pocket empty. "Dang it!" I said, realizing that throwing it on the seat of my car wasn't such a grand idea.
As I continued to try and open the door, I heard a car pull into the alley. When the door opened, a familiar voice rang out, breaking the silence. "Nick?"
"JUDY NO! IT"S A TRAP! GO!" I shouted, desperately hoping she hear me.
"Nick?" she asked again, closing the car door. It was clear that she hadn't heard me.
"JUDY, IT"S A TRAP!"
