Chapter Review:

catspats31: Thank you for bring that to my mind. That would explaining the reason why this story lacked "followers" and favorites. I originally was going to complain when I had a talk with Cimar-WildeHopps on deviantArt site (Private Message) and his quote: "The reason why Zootopia succeeded as it did, was because it didn't point fingers at any one individual, or group. Plus people read to escape from reality, not to go back into it."

So I went back to my old chapters and changed all the "disgustingly" name into "~Censored~", as well as story summary, which read as " Censored " instead due to symbol being omitted.

Author Note:

1) I had just realized that I put in wrong word in previous chapter, as you noticed that before I posted this chapter, I updated it so it would be "resumed" to the show. And yes, that got my editor quite furiously when he tried to get it fix. So apologize for steering you off the course. So without further ado...

I reached for the front passenger door, opened it, and climbed aboard. I shut the door and pulled the seatbelt down. I looked up to Officer Wilde as I clicked the belt in. He was sitting on the driver's seat and he clicked his belt as well.

"Let's hope that we don't run into trouble right after we leave the garage," he said. He started the engine and backed the cruiser from the parking slot.

I nodded, "I agree - I really don't like the fact that troubles keep finding us."

We had hardly been on the road for a mile before I heard the sound of phone ringing. I flinched then fumbled around, trying to find the source of the sound. I flipped my ears in every direction.

"In my right pocket. You can get it," Officer Wilde said. He was still focused on the road.

I reached his pocket and pulled out his phone. I looked at the screen that had just lit up with a message in the middle. It typed; "Carrots - Surrounded by a bunch of robots downtown, estimated fifty miles from Precinct One. The address is 510 Otter Street ZOO 80069."

I looked up to Officer Wilde and replied, "It's Officer Hopps. They're already in trouble."

"I think I agree with you - I also don't like the idea that trouble comes to us, like every five minutes in the same day," he growled. He switched on the siren. He inquired, "Did she type down the address?"

"Yes. 510 Otter Street ZOO 80069," I answered

I watched him type the address on the GPS then I braced in the seat. I felt the power of the car as it turned a hundred and eighty degree before I was pressed into the seat when Officer Wilde stepped on the accelerator. After five minutes of rushing down along the road including a couple of powerful turns, we arrived at what looked like a standoff with the speedsters and a bunch of robotized cheetahs. Officer Wilde shut the siren off as I pushed the button to disconnect my seatbelt. I handed the phone back to him. We got out of the cruiser and worked our way to our friends. They were blurred, especially Officer Hopps. So I channeled my mind at comprehend the speed. I was able to see her appear normal while everything else became slower. I frowned at the grey mammal.

"Uh, them again? At least you two smartened up with a plan to take the guns out of the picture," I said as I spotted three firearms vanishing.

I glanced back at Officer Hopps just in time to see her sidestepping a bullet. It appeared that she mastered the speed in a short time. Though I could see that she was a little exhausted from being in the speed zone for a little too long. I understood that too well. I instinctively lifted my right arm to block an incoming slow attack. Just after that, Officer Hopps collapsed onto the floor. I frowned as I shoved the robot back. For the next few minutes of fast time, I defended the officers from injury or being taken away from my sight. I didn't know how Officer Wilde got knocked out. Sonic returned to the standoff and directed me to the building. I carried Officer Hopps while he ran up on the side of the building with Officer Wilde in his arms. We set up a plan to escape the standoff. I flew back to the robotized mammalians and distracted them while Sonic first took Officer Hopps back to Precinct One, then Officer WIlde a couple of minutes later. As soon as he returned from his second trip, he informed me that it was time to go. I ditched the distraction plan and wrapped my arms around his neck, then we left the standoff in a puff cloud of smoke. Neither of us knew how to drive or had a key, so we left the cruiser behind. The speed of time returned to normal as we arrived at Precinct One. I saw the taxi cab slow down on the road as we approached the building. That explained why Sonic had a short travel time when he carried Officer Wilde.

"You let the taxi cab do the work for you?" I spoke over his shoulder.

He stopped on the street in front of Precinct One before I felt his head shaking. He answered, "Nah, The driver insisted on helping me out - she knew Nick."

"I see," I replied. I unwrapped my arms from his neck and watched him open the cab's passenger door then unpack Officer Wilde from inside.

Sonic carried the unconscious red fox into Precinct One. I turned to the taxi cab and shut the door. I moved to the driver's door and spoke, "Hey. Thanks for a helping paw. We couldn't make it without you."

"Grand to know that, gal. Be sure to keep him from daydreaming again. Get me?" the taxi driver commented.

I nodded, "Yes. I can do that."

The taxi cab drove off and I turned to Precinct One. I flew my way in. I went to the interview room and saw Sonic talking to Officer Wilde on the chair inside. I waved at Sonic to get his attention. I pointed at the ceiling and gestured for him to go to the office. He nodded before he turned to Officer Wilde. I airlifted to the third floor and landed in front of the door to Chief's office. I walked in the office and sat on the left chair. This chair was positioned to face both the desk and the door at the same time.

"Well, next time, if your sassy friend is rude to me like that again - I will make sure that the case is only in Hopps and Wilde's paws from then on. Is that clear?" the water buffalo pointed out once I looked at him.

"Yes, sir," I replied solemnly. I figured that Sonic had gone and done it, but I would have to worry about that later.

When I was getting relaxed, I heard two sets of pawsteps then I looked over my shoulder. Sonic and Officer Wilde entered the office then they went to separate seats. Sonic joined me while Officer Wilde took the empty chair on our right.

I turned my head to Chief Bogo just as he started the discussion; "Alright. What keeps you from doing any more searching?"

Officer Wilde and I glared at Sonic, who we assumed knew more details. It turned out that we were right on the money. He rested his elbow on the armrest.

He replied, "It was the robotized cheetahs."

I could sense that Chief Bogo was shocked. But i kept glaring at Sonic.

"They attacked us, Officer Hopps and I, as soon as we resumed our huntings for Ivo Robotnik," he continued.

I nodded then I shifted my focus to the chief. I added my point to Sonic's; "It must be pure coincidence that they were present when we turned down the job to protect ~Censored~ until the election is over."

"Yes," Sonic said. I could sense the finger pointing at me then it disappeared. He continued, "If you had read the paper that Officer Hopps gave to you earlier - I was the one who theorized that Ivo Robotnik and ~Censored~ would be connected- working together on this case."

I blinked and glared at Officer Wilde while Chief Bogo shook his head to clear it. He pointed the flaw out, "I see. How can you be sure about this?"

I got off the chair and went to Officer Wilde. I put forepaw on his shoulder to check on his… gloomy stance. He startled a little bit and blinked as if he had awakened from a nightmare. I heard Sonic's comment; "It could be pure coincidence, as Tailsko detailed. ~Censored~ will also drive Zootopia into ruin if we let him have the Mayor's office."

I shook my head before I spoke, "He seemed a little bit out from the attack. I will take him back to the interview room until further notice."

I slid my left arm under his armpit and hauled him from the chair, then I carried him out of the office. I guided him to the elevator and while he held his position, I pushed the button to the first floor. I returned to him and made sure he was doing okay. Unexpectedly, he leaned on me with his upper arms on my shoulders. The side of his muzzle pressed on mine and one of his ears was on my forehead. I frowned and turned from him while holding him up. I blinked as the elevator stopped moving. That meant we were now on the first floor. I lifted Officer Wilde's arms off me gently then I put his right arm on my shoulders again. We left the elevator and worked our way back to the private interview room. Once we arrived, I let him sit on the chair by the door, perhaps the same one that Sonic had him sit down on earlier. I reached for his muzzle and caressed the fur lightly as I watched his distracted eyes. I blinked then shook my head to snap myself out of my small 'daydream'. I was supposed to focus on the case, not look for a chance to hit Officer Wilde up.

"Tch," he growled, clicking his fangs together.

I laid my paw on his shoulder as I turned to him with a concerned expression. His focus was on his partner, who lay on the floor. He got up and walked toward her, which made my paw slide off him. Officer Wilde crouched beside her and reached for her belt. I frowned at his reaction.

"How did we get back here?" he asked. He looked over his shoulder to me with a carrot pen in his paw.

I adjusted my position so I could face him easily. I replied, "Sonic brought us back here when we were cornered. We had to leave your cruiser behind. Sonic and I don't have any experience driving any vehicle."

He stood up and walked to me pointing at me with his unoccupied paw, almost like he was shaking his finger at me. He spoke, "Then we must get that cruiser back - it belongs to Precinct One. If we leave it there it will cost me a paycheck."

"Hey. What about your injuries?" I complained, reminding him of the mysterious blow that he received.

He snarled at me, "I don't care. Chief Buffalo Butt is going to wear my tail as a scarf if I don't get that vehicle back."

I felt a shiver in my spine as I listened to Officer WIlde's words. I felt him move past me then I turned and followed him out of the interview room. I shut the door behind us. I was aware that Officer Wilde and Sonic were concerned about Officer Hopps' condition. We made our way out of the building then I started to twist my twin tails and lift into the air. I grabbed Officer Wilde's forepaws and flew our way back to the 'standoff', or whatever left of it. After five minutes of traveling through the air, we arrived at the standoff. I descended back to the street. We were still far away from robotized cheetahs. They were still searching for us after we vanished into thin air. I let Officer Wilde go and flew to the passenger's door while he went for the driver's door. We got in and I fastened my belt as he started the engine. We turned around and drove off before one of the robotized cheetahs attacked I sighed while we traveled for few minutes. I blinked as I felt the motive of the cruiser pulling up. I glared at Officer Wilde before he turned the engine off and got out. I also got out of the cruiser and I followed him as he stalked along the building. He approached the corner of the building and I moved closer to him when he slowed down. I frowned and when I was going to say something, he wrapped my neck with his arm and covered my mouth with his forepaw. I flinched from the suddenly contact. I watched his free forepaw and noticed that he held the carrot pen again. I raised my eyebrow as I watched him push something on it while he held it at the corner of the building. I twitched my ears so I could focus in the direction where he was pointing the thing. I figured that he was listening to the conversation deep in the alley and wanted to record it on the carrot pen. That seemed interesting to me.

"…refused to help out. Just as you suspected," ~Censored~ said.

A mystery voice, which I was familiar with, replied, "Told you that they got there faster than you did. So let's plant the blame on them, just as she suggested."

"I like the sound of that," ~Censored~ admitted. Then it was silent from that point.

I blinked as I felt Officer WIlde moving and dragging me away from the alley. He let me go once we were within walking range of the cruiser and he got in the vehicle. I mimicked him and shut the door once I sat down.

"So was that… someone you knew from your place?" Officer Wilde inquired.

I nodded, "Yes. That's Doctor Ivo Robotnik, who we have been searching for awhile."

"So your best bud made a point in his theory about them being connected. Either it was a lucky guess or he just knew about it," he added.

I put my finger on my chin as I recalled all the details that Officer Hopps drew out of us. That was after we got yanked out of a hostile situation. I blinked as I realized that we were now moving toward Precinct One. Sonic just knew that ~Censored~ and Ivo Robotnik would join paws, but that seemed a little off. The conversation in the alley made it sound like they had been part of the plan longer than we realized. I looked at Officer Wilde as we entered the garage, where he parked the cruiser. Once the engine was turned off, we left the vehicle and worked our way back to the main building of Precinct One. As I followed Officer Wilde through the hall, I had a chance to give him an update.

"Officer Wilde," I started, hoping to get his attention. It did the trick. I continued, "I was thinking that it's something wrong with 'them'. But we should discuss this part with Sonic and Officer Hopps."

"Roger that," he nodded.

We ran through the hall and arrived at the interview room, where we saw Sonic and Chief Bogo already in the room. Officer Wilde was about to speak, but he was stopped as soon as we got into the room. We saw Officer Hopps sitting up with her forepaws on her face.
