The Mudways switched off the television.

"Zootomia is miles," said Mr. Mudway nervously. "Surely they couldn't fund us here."

"Silence!" snapped his wife.

The bell rang.

Mrs. Mudway pushed Mr. Mudway to the entrance.

"Answer it!" she hissed.

He opened it to find a rabbit in a brown coat and sunglasses.

"I've come to find work," he said plainly.

"Really?" said Mr. Mudway. "How wonderful to hear. Dear, we have someone interested in employment."

He took Mrs. Mudway to her room where she was trying on a locket.

"Thought I'd look my best to a new person interested in working in this orphanage," she smiled.

The rabbit looked at the locket, jumped up snatched and read it's inscription.

"Just the thing," he said.

"How dare you!" said Mrs. Mudway angrily.

The rabbit revealed his sunglasses and coat to reveal a ZPD uniform.

The hippos looked in shock.

"It's called a hustle, sweetheart," said Blake happily. "The two of you and the orphanage board have the right to remain silent. Anything you lot say can and will be used against you in the court of law."

Nick was waiting in the interrogation room, pacing about when the door opened. In walked Wayne with the shaded Mr. Shards handcuffed.

"Sit him down," said Nick.

Wayne lowed him onto a seer in the table.

Nick went up to the criminal and whisked away his sunglasses revealing a white, blind eye.

"Just as I suspected," said Nick. "Long time no see, Kevin Redd."

"Hello, Nick," murmured Shards.

"You know him?" said Wayne confused.

"All to well," said Nick coldly. "The young fox I saw as a brother, the young I was told wanted to be a lawyer, president, make everything better for foxes after I told him what I went through during the Ranger Scouts incident."

"You messed up yourself, Nicholas," hissed Shards. "You know you have. Father died from shame."

"Indeed I did mess up," said Nick guiltily. "I met your sister Kimberly at high school, love at first sight to each other. And that was where we met. You suffered as much as I did and one incident blinded you in one eye and ashamed of it, you would where shades endlessly. You said you wanted to go to university and find ways to improve lives of foxes like me, you and your sister. Your sister who I would have claimed as my wife was unfortunately the first one to lose her fortune. Some years after high school, I was still hustling animals for pawpsicles which I longed to give up for her sake. Then one night we held each other close and it went too far. Your pompous bastard of a father disowned her and her me. I lost her forever that day. She left Zootopia and travelled to the orphanage where your nephew Noah Sly was born."

"Rather hypocritical to call my father a bastard when you made one yourself. You have no proof he is my nephew," said Shards coolly.

"But we heard from that leopard who was tragically murdered last night. You went to the orphanage to retrieve a locket and a letter from Noah's mother telling her partner to raise him. You plan to have a cub murdered for your cunning, conceited gain."

The door opened and in walked Blake with two handcuffed hippos.

"The mistress held this for five years," said Blake revealing something golden.

Nick took it from Blake to see it was a locket. He read the inscription;

To Kimberly, with unconditional love; Nicholas Wilde.

Nick shed a hard tear as he opened it and saw the image he and Kimberly took the day at the seaside. He turned to the hippos and glared.

"You kept this all these years? The letter and all?"

"Gold is valuable," said Mrs. Mudway.

"And a child's welfare isn't?" said Nick. "You're both under arrest. I will see to it that you will never again work for trust."

Mr. Mudway began to whimper.

"But she stole the locket and letter," he wailed looking at his glaring wife. "She would do it"

"Coward!" she snapped.

"That's no excuse!" said Nick. "You're just as guilty for various flaws. Starving the kids, whipping Noah all because he was hungry, selling like a slave and leading to be taken in by thieves. Because of you, he suffered arrest for a crime he did not commit, because of you he suffered a taser wound in a forced burglary, because of you - only last night - a brave, tragic leopardess who concerned his life had met a filthy, disgusting death! You have guilt written all over your gut!"

"If you don't believe my innocence, then the ZPD is a numbskull! An ignoramus! And all I can say for the recruits is that they must wait to be married - then they'll take my view seriously."

"Take them away," ordered Wayne.

Brent Stripes ran on and on and on. He came to a field where there was a cottage. He ran to it hoping it was abandoned but there was a sign the window with his very face on it.

WANTED:

Brent Stripes

OFFENCE:

Thievery

Fratricide on His Adopted Sister Patricia Stripes

Any Information on the Villain, Contact the ZPD Immediately.

The door opened and Stripes hide himself behind some hay.

Out walked a fawn and his father.

"Daddy? I was told that Timmy's daddy has been arrested just because he's a tiger."

"Yes, son," said his father who had put down the water can and knelt down to his son.

"You see, Ben there is a villainous tiger called Brent Stripes. He killed his own sister and the police of Zootopia are on the search for him even outside the city. But Timmy's father has been taken into custody along with several other tigers because they are of the same DNA and they need to make sure that the murderer had already been in custody. He wear's an eye patch but for all we know, he could be in disguise.

Ben hugged father's chest and began crying.

"Why is there evil in this world, Daddy?"

"There are some questions we cannot answer, sweetheart," said his father kissing his son's head. "But there are some who did not die in vain. The murderer's sister gave her companions away to save the life of that fox cub - Noah Sly. The people who met her said she kept her brother out but for some reason he killed her anyway."

Brent's heart skipped a beat; she kept him out. Patsy was telling the truth. Fury had lied to him!

"Come now, son. Let's make you a hot chocolate."

He picked his son up and said "One day the world will safer than it is now."

And they walked in.

Stripes emerged and pulled off his eyepatch revealing his bare surroundings to his red eye.

"It's only fair I now kill you, Fury!" he growled. He threw the eyepatch a good mile and he advanced away back to Zootopia.

Magnifico John Fury strutted through the snowy Tundra Town wearing a black, buttoned caot, removed the wig and relapsed it with a black top hat. No one recognised the villain at all.

He arrived at Mr. Big's domain and strutted in. He stared at the little shoe sitting on his throne.

"You come here on the day before my daughter's birthday," he greeted Fury.

"And a very happy one to be sure, my dear," smiled Fury cunningly. "I've a new trouble-making fox for you. He goes by the name of -"

"Noah Sly?"

"Indeed, Not Sl-"

Fury stopped dead. "Why, how did you know?"

"A call from Officer Nick Wilde and an anonymous call from a kid," said Mr. Big. "Plotting to kill him with his uncle I received intelligence about - heard by the late young leopardess. The anonymous call said you were to come here in that disguise to me."

Fury dashed out the door narrowly avoiding the security bears that tried to grab him. One grabbed him and Fury called him. Then two other bears grabbed him by each arm and returned him to the shrew.

"Lock him up," Mr. Big ordered. "He will be iced first thing Monday morning."

"NO!" screamed Fury as the bears muzzled him tightly and carried him to his antarctic cell. "PLEASE! I'M AN OLD FOX, MR. BIG! A VERY OLD FOX!"

Judy and Clawhauser were looking through some files relating to Magnifico John Fury and Brent Stripes.

"She seemed very nice," said Clawhauser distraught.

"Justice will be served, Clawhauser," said Judy consolably.

As she was looking through the last file, her phone rang.

"Mr. Big!" she read.

She answered it:

"Hello? … Really?! … Wonderufl! … Oh … Well, as long as there is a clue. Thank ytu so much, sir! Well FruFru - and little Judy - that I said Hi."

She ended the call looking happy.

"We need to tell Bogo!"

She ran up the steps and knocked at the door to Bogo's office.

"Come in!" he announced.

"Chief!" she cried as she opened the door. "Mr. Big has captured Fury!"

"Splendid," said Bogo. "Anything about Brent Stripes?"

"Not yet, but Mr. Big said they found a clue to do with Rainforest District. Fury will say nothing but with the anonymous call involved, Noah should be found today!"

There was another knock.

"Come in!" announced Bogo.

Wayne came in with the cheeky young bunny who was arrested when caught stealing.

"What's he done now?" said Bogo glaring at him.

"I know where Noah is."
