Evil 101:
"Ah ha," Nick said. "Nothing amongst this pile of treats is sugary or glazed. Why if it wasn't for this blueberry yogurt, everything would be tossed to the floor. Whatever happened to the stereotype that cops love donuts? There is such a thing as positive stereotypes and that is one of them." Nick complained as he scoped spoon fulls of Blueberry yogurt into his mouth.
"Yeah" Clawhouser chimed in. "That's what I'm saying. Look at this, what am I suppose to do with this?" Clawhouser held up an orange for Judy to look at.
"Peeling it might be a good start" Judy said. She sighed and shook her head as she watched the two complain over the bouquet of delicious healthy treats.
The door to the room swing open with a "bang," and Chief Bogo marched inside and up to his podium. Beside his podium was a table with several items hidden under a thin sheet of cloth. He ordered everyone to their seats, his voice booming like thunder. Every mammal scattered trying to get to their seat. Nick shoveled as much blueberry yogurt into his mouth before taking his seat next to Judy.
Chief Bogo cleared his throat before speaking. "I'm sure most of you have already heard the news about last night. For those that don't I'll go ahead a tell you. Last night, officer Wilde and Hopps discovered and apprehended an unknown, yet intelligent creature unlike any other, covered in the blood of two different mammals."
Bogo walks over to the table where the objects were concealed with a white cloth. After apprehending this..." Bogo stopped, trying to think of a proper word to use. "Being. These items were found on him." Bogo pulled back the first sheet. Sitting on the table looked like a bundle of leather and a set of car keys.
"A leather Harness that was attached to him and a leather gun holster. The keys are to its support of transportation, which seems to be an old beat up yellow Delta Oldsmobile." He picked up the keys for every mammal to look at. Judy saw that he was picking up the key with his thumb and index finger, afraid that there might be something wrong or toxic with the set of keys. He dropped the keys back on to the leather harness. He revealed what was under the next sheet.
"One of the weapons that we confiscated off of this, being, is something that looks no more than a regular double-barrel shotgun, loaded with scatter pelts and with the barrel sawed off for a wider range of attack." just like with the keys, he lifted up the weapon; only this time, once done, he gently placed the weapon back on the table.
"And last of all, is the most strangest contraption." Bogo removed the sheet to show some dangerous saw-like mechanical device. "We don't know how this contraption works, but if was found attached to the beings right hand, and it was what was used to massacre at least two of the three mammals. So, are there any theories as what this..." Bogo still had trouble figuring out how to properly address the unidentified creature. "Being is?"
The room went quit before someone in the back spoke up. "Perhaps the legend of the Mountain Mammal?"
"The Mountain Mammal?"
"Yeah, from those urban legends. A beast, a primal carnivore that never adapted to society and stayed up on the mountains, waiting for the next unlucky victim."
After a long stare, Chief Bogo pulls a pen and a pad of paper from his shirt pocket and jotted, out loud "Mountain Mammal."
Since it was officer Wilde and Hopps were the ones to capture this 'Mountain Mammal' the two of you will be heading this case."
"Us chief?" Nick questioned. "Uh, Chief. Usually me and carrots here," gesturing to Judy, "are happy to take on any case you throw at us. But, we are welcome to pass case to anyone willing to take off our hands."
Bogo just stared at the two of them. "You know what Wilde your right. I should let you just pass this case to some mammal else."
"Really sir?" Nick said lighting up. "Because that would be great."
"Of course, great," Chief Bogo said with an evil grin on his face. "Oh, Wilde I have a gift I've been wanting to give you." Chief Bogo digs under his podium and pulls out, a present that had a large box shape with a pretty red ribbon on top. It was beautiful to the eye. Bogo walks over and places the nicely wrapped gift in front of Nick. "Go ahead. Open it."
Nick felt if this all one elaborate hoax the Chief was playing on him. Nick slowly unwrapped the gift, and pull the box lid open. Nick couldn't help but flinch and shield himself with the lid of the box, believing something was to jump out or explode in his face. Nothing happened. Nick took a slow look inside and found nothing there at all.
"There's nothing in here," Nick cried aloud. Wanting to make sure that all those that were interested to know what was going on.
"Oh no," said Chief Bogo. "Can't you see? It's filled with all the 'fucks' that I give about you and your excuses. You and Hopps are taking this case, period."
Nick kept examining the gift box over and over again. "This is a really nice gift box chief," Nick said. "How much did this cost you? Like twenty-bucks? You spent twenty-bucks just to pull a joke on me?"
"Yes. Yes, I did. And it was worth it." Bogo bends down to look Nick in the face and give him a glare that showed he was pleased with himself. He striaghtened up and composed himself in front of the precinct. "In all honest I believe you and Hopps are the best ones for this case. Besides, I put in a call to the ZBI, and they are going to send in a small team to help with this case. Apparently they have a department decimated to these types of things. They will sending two agents here to help."
"Woah Woah. The ZBI has a Department strictly for weird shit like this." Nick said, scratching his head in disbelief. "What a great and useless department to create with tax payer dollars.
"Like it, don't like, I don't care. But two of them are on their way and until then I want one of you to bring all this stuff down into lock up, and one of you to see if you can interrogate this, for lack of a better name, Mountain Mammal."
Nick grabbed every bit of material that was on the desk and followed behind Judy. They stepped onto a small elevator system to bring them down to the basement levels of the Precinct. Underneath the Precinct is where they had holding cells, a cellar for confiscated items, and high secure interrogation rooms for bigger mammals. The elevator stopped at the bottom.
"Listen, Carrots. As you can see, my hands are already full of all this... junk. So, why don't you let me go and write all this into the covscated log and lock it all up. Meanwhile, you can interrogate the 'Mountain Mammal.'" Nick spoke in a spooky voice when saying 'Mountain Mammal.' Judy noticed him walking backwards as if to get away from as fast as possible. "Besides, you love interrogating mammals and getting all the information out of them. And this be the hardest interrogation there is. I'm glad you agree with me, so I'll catch up with you later. Bye." Nick turned ran down the hallway.
Judy sigh, shaking her head, and started walking towards the high security interrogation room. She opened the door and found every mammal starring out of the two mirror. Judy joined them and look at what they were looking at. Behind the two-way mirror was a creature like no other. He had no fur except atop his head, which had gray strikes in it. The creature, the 'Mountain Mammal,' was sitting up on the bunker and looking directly at the two-way mirror. Then he spoke.
"So, are we going to get this hot tamale rolling or what? Because the quicker I'm out of here. The safer it is for all of you."
