Soon enough, Splero, Chimpan, Daniel and Alexia arrived at their very destination. The car was being parked in front of a small cafe that just adjacent to the apartment complex that they were going to explore in a momentary bit. Unbuckling his seat belt, Splero looked back to Alexia and Daniel with a smile on his face.
'Alright, guys. We're now here at the new place that both of you were going to stay for now. What do you guys think, eh?'
Both the young male human and the female ferret looked out on the car's window and when they saw the complex, they were bewildered.
'That's the place?!'
'Wow! It looks so spacious!'
Splero chuckled.
'It is spacious alright, Daniel. The bigger space, the better the comfort comes.'
Chimpan unbuckled his belt. He then turned to the right and saw the small cafe. A few other Zootopians were coming out of there while eating their takeout meals they're holding.
'Can we take a bite first in that cafe, Sire?'
'Sure thing, Regent. I could also want to take a bite there since I haven't visited that place before.'
The primate looked at the sitting duo.
'Want to eat first before we go in that complex, guys?'
'Sure thing, Chimp.'
'Yeah. I missed on visiting that cafe too.'
'You do?'
Alexa nodded.
'Wait. You know that cafe?'
'Yes. That's the cafe that I visited along with my mother last week. I can't believed that our time enjoying there would be our very last.'
Daniel felt sympathetic when he heard. So too was Splero and Chimpan. As the ferret sighed sadly, Daniel softly places over his hand on Alexa's paw.
'That's...That was awful, dear. I'm sorry to hear that from you.'
'Thanks for understanding that, Daniel. I really do.'
'Yeah.'
Splero cleared his throat as he grabbed his satchel and radio before opening the car door.
'Anyway, guys. Let's eat in the cafe now. I'm feeling famished right now.'
'Right on.'
The small entourage then disembarked and went to the nearby cafe.
...
When the quadruple figures entered the cafe, the clerks and other Zootopians eating there were all surprised to see them. Some of them even bowed down to Splero and Chimpan but the Splenish Emperor calmed them all.
'There's no need to grovel me that much, everyone. Please continue on.'
As the others simply continued on eating, drinking or socializing with one another, Splero and his friends approaches the counter. A male ferret was standing by as he wiped a glass mug that he was holding.
'Greetings, Your M-Majesty. My name is Mark Alex. I'm the leading clerk of t-this cafe.'
'Nice to meet you, Mark Alex. Why are you stammering?'
'Oh! N-Nothing, Sire!'
'Don't worry, man. We're just visiting here because we wanted to have a bite.'
'Ah, yes! T-That's excellent! We could serve you with the finest that this cafe can offer to you and your friends.'
'Terrific!'
Mark then looked at Alexia and he was absolutely jaw-smacked.
'Alexia, is that y-you?!'
The female ferret waved at him.
'Heya, Mark. How's it going?'
'My God! I thought I wouldn't see you again here!'
'Yeah. I would have been dead for long but I was being saved.'
'Really? Who saved you then?'
Daniel cleared his throat.
'I'm the one who saved her, man.'
The male ferret was being overwhelmed by such surprise.
'Oh my goodness! Y-Y-You're that Daniel Lewis that I heard in the news!'
'Yep. That's me alright.'
Alex chuckled and he immediately pawshakes the young male human very warmly.
'I'm so honored to meet you here in the cafe, Mr. Daniel Lewis. I'm Mark Alex, by the way.'
'Yeah. So nice to meet you too, Mark.'
The ferret clerk then took a small notepad and a pen from his apron.
'What can I do for you all, guys?'
Splero pondered on a bit.
'We wanted to order 2 cups of tea and 2 plates of steak and doughnut sandwiches, please.'
'Alright then. Anything else, Sire?'
'A pack of herbal cigarettes as well, man.'
'Okay. How about for Daniel and Alexia?'
Chimpan looked at the duo.
'What would you guys want to eat?'
'Umm...We would like to have some tea and some doughnut sandwiches too, Chimpan.'
'Y-Yeah. In fact, I haven't tasted a doughnut sandwich yet.'
Alex laughed as he wrote down the order lists on his notepad.
'Alrighty then. 4 cups of tea, 2 plates of steak, 4 doughnut sandwiches and a full pack of herbal cigarettes on the list. Coming right up!'
The male ferret then went to the cafe's kitchenette while Splero, Chimpan, Daniel and Alexia sat down on the seats.
'Well, guys. This should be it then. After this, we'll be heading to that apartment complex across the street. Okay, guys?'
'Yeah. Sure thing.'
'Right on, man.'
'Alright then.'
Splero sighed.
'I wonder what's going on in the ZPD at this moment?'
Chimpan shrugged his shoulders a bit.
'Beats me, Splero.'
'Regent, contact Clawhauser. Tell him that both of us were in Code Seven.'
'Code Seven as in 'Meal Break', Sire?'
'Yes.'
'Okay.'
Chimpan took his radio and contacted Clawhauser.
'Claw, this is Chimp. Splero and I were in Code Seven. I repeat, Code Seven. We'll be at 10-19 from the Markos Aleixos Cafe soon.'
'Copy that, Officer Chimpan. I'll relay your message to Chief Bogo, Nick, Judy and Michelle as we speak.'
'Thanks, Claw. Chimpan out.'
The chimpanzee kept his radio away. He looked at Splero and he gave him a thumbs-up. The Emperor nodded with a smile as a simple reply.
