Chapter 50: Party time and after math

Chapter Text

Judy could not believe the number of people at the party. She recognize so many famous people. Some even called her famous.

Daryl walked up to Judy before asking," Are you enjoying the party?"

Judy answered," I can not believe how many famous people are here."

Ralph and Gideon walked over to Daryl before the former asked," Quit procrastinating and tell her."

Daryl swallowed before saying," Judy, you have been gone for a while and even though I did not plan it. I fell in love with someone else and we are getting married in two months."

Judy glared at Daryl before asking," Why did you wait so long to tell me?"

Ralph answered." I ask him to wait to tell you in person."

Judy looked from Daryl to Ralph before asking," Does Mom and Dad know?"

Ralph answered," They knew I was in love with someone but only found out who it was about an hour ago."

Judy replied," You could have told me earlier before I told everyone that I was hoping to set our wedding date."

Daryl said," If I knew you were going to tell the world. I would have said something."

Judy replied," Do me a favor and leave me alone. Before I do something that will probably get me fired."

Ralph started to walk away with Daryl and Gideon before the former asked," Do you think we should get the golf cart and head back to my place"

Gideon answered," Let Judy and Nick keep it. He is probably resting in the back. He has protected her on the force and I don't want to wake him and find out what he would do to you for breaking Judy's heart."

Daryl asked," What if we don't tell him about it?"

Gideon answered," He seems to think of her as a little defenseless sister, and probably put all three of us in the hospital."

Ralph replied," So we walk to your cabin."

Gideon said," Better than facing the wraith of an overprotective big brother." As they walked out the door.

Judy smiled and realized Nick was always worried about her and if she asked he would probably put all three into the hospital.

Judy thought about waking Nick but decided against it. He needed his rest to recuperate plus she had no desire to give him any chance to fall back into his old habits.

Gazelle walked over before asking," How are you enjoying the party?"

Judy sighed but before she answered, several gun shots were heard.

A group of masked animals were blocking the exits. Two by each of the doors.

A young panther came into the room before saying," Some of you are going to be allowed to leave. Obey and you will be allowed to live. Disobey and you die."

Judy looked and noticed that a Beaver and a Zebra were guarding one door. A Kangaroo and wombat another door and an argali and hedgehog were guarding the last door.

The young panther said," The following individuals need to go sit at the center table and hold hands with the next. That way we know you will not trust anything. Now let us start with the biggest and also smallest problem, Judy Hopps."

Judy put her hands on here hips before asking," What is this about?"

The young panther slapped her across the face before replying," If you do not what we say, we will start killing the unimportant individuals in the room. Starting with the babies in the strollers."

Judy looked at the parents before sighing and walking to the center table. Quietly taking out her phone and texting Nick ' Call Bogo, crisis situation. SWAT situation.' before turning off the incoming volume and placing the phone under the table.

The young panther turned to Gazelle before saying," Go join the bunny."

Gazelle walked over to Judy before saying," Sorry about this, Miss Hopps."

Judy replied," This has just been the way my day has been going."

The young panther said," Okay now Richard Gant and his so precious wife, Diana. Get over with the rest of the hostages." Before picking out three random hostages.

Richard asked," Why are you doing this?"

The young panther turned to the rest of the hostages and said," The rest of you can go. If you hurry, you will live." Before nodding to her team

The animals guarding the doors immediately open the doors, The remaining hostages rushed to the door to get out. The last hostage to try to get out of each door was skewered by the animals guarding the door.

The young panther laughed before turning to Judy and saying," Call your partner, I know he is here."

Judy replied," I left my phone at my parent's spot."

The young panther pulled out her phone before saying," Text him and tell him to come here immediately or I will start killing off the hostages."

Judy asked," He is recuperating, what if he is already asleep."

The young panther glanced at the zebra, who nodded before saying," Fine than text him telling him to come here shortly after sunrise or I will start killing hostages. And when he come in, he has to have his hands over his head."

Suddenly without warning all the lights in the building went out.

The young panther said," Be on your guard, SWAT aint here yet but does not mean someone wants to be a hero."

Suddenly everyone in the room began to hear the ticking of a clock. TICK. TICK. TICK.

The young panther said," Everyone stay calm. Remember what you all are going to get as a reward."

Judy suddenly realized the young panther was female even though she was trying to act male. But she wonder what was going on, who killed the power.
