The edge of my vision was blurred as I ran at two hundred and thirty miles per hour as we, Tailsko and I, chasing the egg-mobile. That vehicle was building to a speed that could outrun anyone like myself. We were heading west toward the next city called 'Zootopia'. I made an irritated face as I watched the egg-mobile move farther and farther from my partner and I. The wall of the city came up to us and the mobile flew over a building. I attempted to run up the wall of said building.

"Ugh," I grunted as I stopped at top of the building before Tailsko loosed up her grip on my neck and dismounted from my back.

We looked around at each corner to tracking the flying vehicle, but it was fruitless. We had lost this villain the moment we entered Zootopia.

"How did he do that?" Tailsko asked as I peeked at the heart of Zootopia.

I shook my head before I turned to my partner, "He's just getting better each time we bust him. If he improvises, then we should do the same as well."

"Alright. You can cover the ground while I take the air," she said as she started spinning her twin tails and lifted into the air.

I turned back to the previous direction and jumped to the ground, startling the mammalians nearby as they walked the street. I spoke, "Excuse me. A little business to take care of."

I turned to my right and dashed my way toward the location, leaving the blue glow behind. The location that I believed the villain had last seen before his disappearance. For two hours I searched through the south part of Zootopia, which was called 'Savanna Central' by the mammalians, Zootopians. And we couldn't find this villain after all of this searching, even with my speed. Adaption, my blur fur.

"Well, it seems like he decided to lay low for now. So let's get some lunch. Can't continue working with an empty stomach," Tailsko called out as she landed beside me.

The mention of lunch made me to realize that I was also low on energy. I had spent the whole morning try to capture the villain and bring him back. I nodded, "You're right. Let's go to 'Hedge Green'. From there, we can get some directions and help."

I turned around so my back was to her. I felt her arms wrap around my neck. I started to running toward 'Hedge Green'. Once I was fifty-yard from the sign, I started to slow down so I wouldn't put a strong wind on the Zootopians as I stopped. My speed got less and less as I approached the restaurant. Once we arrived at the restaurant, I let Tailsko get off my back and we walked in. We got to the empty counter and gave our order for food; a chilidog with a false sausage and brown beans for me and a bowl of blueberry salad for Tailsko. We paid the bills before we went to the table far down the building, next to the window. From there, we could watch for the villain with ease.

My ear flinched as I listened to the pawsteps of the waitress approaching us. Before she passed our meals to us as she spoke, "One Meatless Chilidog for Sonic the Hedgehog and one bowl of Blueberries Salad for Mila Prower. I hope you enjoy your lunch."

Since we didn't have to worry about drinks, we began to eat our meals. When I was half-way through my meal, I felt a pair of eyes on the spike of my head. I glared over my shoulder. I discovered that the eyes laid on me belonged to Judy Hopps, the first rabbit cop in Zootopia. She was sitting by the window, just next to the entrance/exit double doors. Her partner was sitting on the opposite seat from her. They both wore cop uniforms. I returned my attention to our table.

"Tailsko, they're here. So that means we are in the right place," I whispered to my friend before I devoured the rest of my meal, "Do you think that they can help us find our villain and haul him back to our country?"

"Already doubt Hopps, did you?" Tailsko mumbled as she stabbed the last leaf of her salad.

I shook my head with a smirk before I got off the seat and collected the plates. With a flash-step I put the plates away, I let Tailsko wrap her arms around my neck and we left the restaurant in a blink. We went to the hotel nearby and got ourselves a room with two beds for a night… perhaps a week, more if we failed to capture the villain.

~Night Skipped~

In the morning, Tailsko and I asked around the local area to get directions to where Judy Hopps worked. We were aware that she was the police in Precinct One, but the problem was… we didn't have a clue of the precinct's whereabouts until we stepped in to get directions. Once we received enough details of Precinct One's whereabouts, we figured out that it was right next to Natural History Museum, which was still under maintenance. With Tailsko's arms around my neck again, I dashed toward the general location of Precinct One and Natural History Museum. It wouldn't take me long to put two and two together. I turned my attention to the left and saw the building made out of glass. That should be Precinct One. I paced my way toward that building. While I approached the building, I slowed my speed down so I couldn't have to paying the bills for all of the glass that I hatred upon my braking. Once I was at walking pace, Tailsko let my neck go and walked beside me.

"This must be where Hopps has been working," she said as we walked toward the doorframe as they slid out of the way.

I nodded before I responded, "I thought so."

"Did I just heard my favorite cop's name from you two?" the giant cheetah sitting behind the desk called out with his tiny ears perked up with which he caught our conversation.

We approached the desk as I spoke, "Yes. We would like to see her boss."

"Uh, hold on. Let me call him and see if he has time before roll call," the cheetah claimed as he shifted his attention to the radio that sat in front of him.

I frowned as I noticed that he was… 'out-of-shape' type for a cheetah. I couldn't pick up any odor of meat on him. All I picked up were donuts, cereal, and sweets.

"Quite spacey, this place is," Tailsko mumbled to me after she was done looking around.

I nodded to her, just before the cheetah turned his attention back to us. He confirmed, "Chief Bogo has given a-okay to you two to go see him. He's on the third floor. His name is hard to miss if you're looking for him."

"Great, thanks," I smirked as my partner and I walked from the desk and worked our way to the elevator after receiving direction from him.

After traveling to the elevator and a walking through the hall to the offices, we were at Chief Bogo's office door. I lifted my paw and knocked on the wood part of the door.

"Come in," the voice grunted from inside.

I looked up to the doorknob, which was twice of my height, before I glanced at my friend so she got the message. She twirled her tails and spun them as she lifted to the knob, where she proceeded to turn it open. She landed beside me as the door swung open, then we walked into the room.

Once we took a seat on a single rhino-sized chair, the chief began to speak, "So what bring you to Precinct One, out of blue - no pun intended."

"I will let that slide for now, Chief," I pardoned him before we got on to the business, "The reason why we are here is because of Doctor Robotnik broke out of our grasp and escaped into Zootopia yesterday. There was not much we could do to find him, so we would like to have some of your help, along with your best cops."

"I see. Any proof of how dangerous this doctor is?" the water buffalo claimed as he tapped his hooves together.

I glanced at Tailsko, which gave her a signal of what she should to do. She nodded once before she got off the chair and flew her way to the desk. She pawed the file to him then made her way back to the seat.

"Hmm," Chief Bogo nodded as he read through the file, "I see. That's really bad. I think I should agree with what you're going in. I approve your request of having Officer Hopps and Officer Wilde on your case."

He closed the file and laid it on his desk, "However, they will not be here for another ten minutes. You can't wait in the office. I have to go fetch them from the bullpen. Therefore, I have to let you leave the office for now. I will call you back when they get here."

"Alright then. I am a type that don't like sitting still. So let's take a tour," I said, looked at my partner on my last sentence.

Tailsko nodded to me before we got off the chair and left the office. We also closed the door along the way. We took the elevator back to the first floor so we could start our tour at that point. We made our way toward the interview rooms, so we could learn the difference between the species size and how they were put to use. The size of the rooms were all the same, determined that they were built for elephants, but the tables are various sizes. Even one was the size for a mouse, which was a size of my paw… ok, twice a size of my paw.

"That certainly a way to avoid the stereotypes, eh?" Tailsko remarked as she stared at the playhouse table.

I nodded, "They prepared just in case. Perhaps it was Judy Hopps that changed their views on the smallest mammals on the force."

"Indeed," she agreed, "Hopps sure drove them around after she closed that super hard case a several months ago."

We proceeded through the building until we reached the science laboratory. I knew that Tailsko liked anything related to science - it didn't matter which type it was, she just liked them all. I watched her squeaking at the sight of tubes and white coats.

Unfortunately, our timing was really bad as I heard the announcer from the ceiling, "Sonic and Tailsko, Officer Hopps and Officer Wilde are presented. Please return to Chief Bogo's officer immediately."

I blinked as I shifted my attention to my partner, who gave out a puppy gaze. That hardly affected me while I jerked my head toward the direction to the office. She understood as we turned around and worked our way back to the elevator. After we exited the elevator, we made our way to the office.

We heard the chief call our names; "Let's get on to the introduction. Their names are Sonic the Hedgehog and Mila 'Tailsko' Prower."

The door was open so we just invited ourselves in. I walked toward the side of the chair where the rabbit was sitting while Tailsko made her way to the side where the red fox was.

"Hello. Nice to meet ya, Judy," I spoke with a grin as I stretched our my paw, which we exchanged a pawshake.

"Likewise," the first rabbit cop nodded once she acknowledged my appearance before I tilted my head to the right and scanned her partner's gaze.

"She's Mila 'Tailsko' Prower. But it's better to call her Tailsko," I called out since I realized that this fox was dumbfound with feeling. That was similar to the feelings that Tailsko had evoked several times in the past.

That made him flinch out of the… daydream. He started to introduce himself, "My name's Nichola Wilde. But I preferred 'Nick' or 'Officer Nick', as it says on my business card."

I shifted my eyes to the rabbit as I heard her giggling behind her free paw while she looked over her shoulder, at her partner behind her.

"With the introductions out of the way, I would like you lot to go to the private interview room. I've got other work to do at this minute. And I don't like you being in my way while I am working," Chief Bogo pointed out before he dismissed us.

~Fifteen minutes later~

"…So I take it that we are all in this together," I stated, which finalized the decision as I closed the file.

I received three nods in the silence as the answer. I smiled as I spoke again, "Alright. Let's get together in twenty minutes. See you when you're ready, Nick and Judy."

After Judy passed the empty cup to Nick, she got off the chair and walked her way to me. As soon as she started to have a conversation with me, I could see that Nick decided to 'hop' off the chair… well, I should get back to the Chief Bogo with a pun one day…

"Hey, Sonic…" Judy called out as I started to get off the chair.

I smiled again as I leveled my gaze to her, "Hey, Judy."

"Let's get to the point," the rabbit said as she crossed her arms, which made me wonder what was on her mind, "What happened to Tailsko? I meant, she seemed little… troubled of being in a relationship or something. I understand that it's no rush for them to get together."

I frowned - she darted right to the point. I started to speak, "Well, that may be why you're the best cop that Precinct One even had. So yes, Tailsko had a lot of problems with her previous boyfriends."

I could feeling her paw raising into asking me a question, but I stopped her and answered her unspoken question before she could finish her gesture, "No, I am not one of them."

We turned to the door and walked our way out as she added a new question, "So what do you see in her?"

"Sister… she's practically my 'sister'," I answered, "She and I grew up together almost all of our life. So that's why."

Officer Hopps nodded in understanding as she shifted her head back to the 'road'. I blinked, "So… though I heard that you and Nick managed to prevent Dawn from accomplishing her goal. I didn't quite understand what was this 'Nighthowler Dosage' you were talking about?"

"It's a kind of chemical that could turn the mammals into savages… monsters that attacked defenseless victims. Like reverting to their ancestor's ways, into their primal ways," she explained as we walked through the hall.

I started to meld the puzzles together, gaining a picture in my mind, "I see… is there a cure for it?"

"Yes - it was discovered while I was in hospital. I suffered a wound while I escaped from Dawn's grip in the museum just outside Precinct One," she answered. I realized that it was the very building pinning the location for me to find here.

"I see," I said before I shifted my attention back to her, "As for Doctor Robotnik… rather than turning animals into savages as you called it, he turned them… into the mindless slave robots."

Now I wished that I hadn't said those words as I watched Judy's face turning horrible at the thought of what I had experienced…
