~Second Friday Morning~
In the hideout, the door opened and slammed into the wall as the fennec fox walked in. The door slam made the chief and his segregated team flinch. They glared at him as he walked around the table made for big animals, moving toward the cape buffalo.
"L'k l'ike yer wanted to be in da prison," Finnick barked, showing a paper then throwing it onto the chief's lap.
The big prey picked up the paper then examined it for a several seconds. He looked up to his crew with a new thought in his mind.
"Hm, it looks like it's time to make non-lethal attacks," he reminded them, starting the 'take-the-Precinct-back' scheme.
He stood up expecting his crew to leave, but he sensed that they didn't move. He glanced at them with a stressed expression.
"What are you waiting for? Get moving!" he ordered, which got them thumping out of the room quickly.
The group left the room and walked through the hall. They reached the room that Wilde mother and son, along with Hopps, occupied. The chief walked in a couple paws from the door. He noticed that Judy Hopps was standing, already dressed in a fresh blue jumpsuit, with bulletproof chest armor and gauntlets. Her old police badge was on the chest armor. He estimated that the badge was irreplaceable. She turned to him and walked to him. He knelt and reached his hoof out to her. She put her front paws in his outstretched hoof.
"Bogo," she whispered with a lightly rigid tone.
"Yes," he answered gently.
She replied to his earlier question, "I will watch your team's back, especially yours."
"Good," the cape buffalo nodded then asked, "Can you summon Wilde here? I have a task for him. Then once he accomplishes that task, you both do whatever you want. Is that a deal?"
The bunny nodded then she turned to the bed that was made for big mammals and called out in the language that she and Nick developed in their spare time. The chief turned his head to Fangmeyer and gestured her to bring in the listening device. Nick and his mother walked into the crew's view. They figured that he was changing into a new set of clean police uniform, but he kept his old police badge, like Judy.
"Hm," Bogo exhaled, receiving the device from his trusty partner then he turned his attention to the red fox. "Well, I get a feeling that Detective Black was involved with the killer who took your father's life. Here's your mission: Kill the designated target; Detective Black, but spare others in the Precinct. The device I am holding is required to be worn on your uniform, so I can confirm his death while you're on the mission. Am I clear?"
Nick blinked as he moved his snout down a little. He shuddered a little bit, moving away from the chief with the discomforting gaze. He shook his head slightly, unsure of what to choose. Judy quickly moved to his side and did her best to persuade him. Bogo and Judy knew that Nick was not at the Precinct One when Detective Black took over the position of Chief.
"Nick! Detective Black put pressure on the cops... our friends that had left the Precinct One after we did. I am aware that you were not at the Precinct when he took over, but... he can and will find them and then break them if we don't stop him quickly," the first bunny cop explained in her soft voice, which got him to cooperate, "If you do not trust Chief Bogo's word, then please trust in mine. Killing Detective Black is the only way to make the world in the better place."
The red fox considered on his mate's words for a minute then he turned to her, "And the device? Is it really necessary?"
"Yeah. It's just for Chief Bogo - he only needs to know of Detective Black's death," Judy blinked, putting her words together. She continued, "Think nothing of it and let it be part of the uniform you're wearing now, ok?"
"Hmm," Nick nodded in understanding, "Ok, that I can do. See me when your... job is accomplished."
He grabbed her arm, pulled her closer, and kissed her warmly.
"Alright!" Chief Bogo boomed, shaking the room with that voice, "Let's take them down... with the tranquilizer darts."
Some time later in the patient room, Chief Bogo put the wireless device on Nick's uniform. Judy had to keep the red fox from moving at all. In the weapon room, Delgato slammed the magazine of tranquilizer darts into his assault rifle from beneath, Fangmeyer pulled the bolt handle to load the dart into the barrel, following by McHorn checking out his tiny paw gun, which was already loaded. Meanwhile, Clawhauser, in the middle of the room, popped a donut into his mouth and munched it instead of getting his gun ready, much to his team's chagrin. There was nothing they could do with the sweet-tooth feline since he had a condition that prevented his wielding guns at all.
"Hm," Fangmeyer mused, snapping out of a chagrining position when the door opened.
Each and every segregated officer turned to the chief and smallest cop entering the room. Delgato shook his head, chuckling.
"You're late, Chief," the proud lion said.
Fangmeyer smiled, put her rifle strap on her shoulder, "We were about to leave without you, sir."
Bogo glared at her for a minute then he burst out with loud laughter, "It's strange how your verbal abuse sounds so comforting right now!"
His team chuckled with him then they armed him with the spare darts. The darts were mounted on his body belts. And none for Judy since she was backup with her special savage dosage, which gave her physical strength to her advantage.
After some travels in the tunnel, Judy and the segregated team followed their chief into the series of city, all armed with the guns loaded with the tranquilizer darts. Fangmeyer patted Bogo's shoulder as she departed the team, working her way up to the roof so she could use her sniper skill.
After entering the spacious building, the savage fox stalked through the hall while staying unseen. Chief Black, in his office, rested his left elbow on the desk with the double-cupped glass filled with wine in his left paw. He was ready to listen to the report from the intercom.
Bogo glanced at Delgato then signaled the lion to take the alley, since the latter possessed night vision that allowed him to see well in the dark. Delgato nodded then made his way into the dark alley, leaving the rest cops with exception of Judy Hopps under his chief's wing. She gained her own night vision from the dosage she had received the week before. Delgato hoped that they could take care of the street with ease. Also, they had to leave Clawhauser behind because of his physical condition along with Pennington and Higgins because Bogo decided that they could become the next Chief and Assistant Chief if Bogo failed his mission and got caught.
"Be sure to have them arrested, put in a prison cell, and throw the keys away," Chief Black growled at the intercom while his digit pushed the button, then he lifted his cup to his muzzle and sipped the wine.
He was very eager to put the traitors in prison cells and watch them squish. It was an order given by his new mayor that made him the Chief of Precinct One.
Every large prey hid behind the abandoned vehicles, their paws and hooves wrapping the handles of their firearms tightly while Fangmeyer prepared her sniper's nest on the roof from beyond, her good eye behind the scope. She scanned over the road that her team faced, and she learned that there were many black-furred 'canis lepophaguses' scattered all over the street and no zootopians. She grimaced once she recognized the true purpose of wolves' species.
"What do you mean? You can't find them? Focus! Keep your eyes open! Find them and I want them behind bars as soon as possible," Chief Black barked at the intercom again, his right paw that held his cup of wine slowly becoming more rigid as he barked each word.
The cape buffalo peeked over the vehicle hood, set his paws on it, and then fired a dart into one of Black's agents, knocking down the agent. Bogo frowned as he ducked behind the side of vehicle, showing his surprise that he could still shoot well. He turned his head and looked at McHorn, who hid behind the abandoned vehicle to his left, as the rhino took aim with his tiny paw gun and shot another wolf down.
"Hm," the wolf chief growled, showing his annoyance at the silence then he turned his head to the door as he heard the comment from the panting hyena; "They started to buzzing in the south section of the city."
Delgato skirted through the alley behind the buildings, easing his way toward the group of wolves up ahead. He found a few agents grouped in one area, almost as if they were friends having a casual chat. The proud lion lifted his assault rifle and fired several darts at that group, and before they could react, the sides of their muzzle met the concrete.
Chief Black grimaced as his irritation grew. He listened to the intercom and learned that there were seven tranquilized, but no fatalities. He shook his head and brought his wine glass to his muzzle and sipped some more.
Bogo flinched as the bullet recoiled off the hood, which told him and his team that their opponent knew their location. He believed that his opponent have spotted his segregated team.
He spoke, "Continue to shoot them down with the tranquilizer darts, just as planned."
McHorn nodded then thumped his fists on a different hood and fired a couple of darts at the wolves, knocking them down.
"Ten of my agents have been tranquilized and no one was killed? They must gone soft," Chief Black grunted as he squeezed the glass, losing his appetite to finish his wine.
Fangmeyer shot down several wolves from a distance, proving her hawkeye skill. Meanwhile, on the street where the sniper couldn't reach, Judy used her paws and instinct to knock the undetected wolves down before they could attack her team. The bunny also kicked several wolves as they sneaked their way from the building that obstructed Fangmeyer from shooting them.
"Twenty have been tranquilized, but still no fatalities," the reporter called out from the intercom, which made the wolf chief growl louder. He pounded on the desk with his free paw then responded, "What the shell?"
One of the black wolves managed to get a clear view of the cape buffalo. Fangmeyer saw him through her scope, but couldn't able to get a clear shot at him because that wolf was hiding behind the building that obstructed the tigress. She blinked as she watched him fall and crash his face onto the concrete, then she searched the area and saw the bunny landed on her hind-paws then moved to a different area. She grinned as she moved her rifle to the next area.
"Hm," Bogo blinked when he heard the thump while reloading his gun, then he looked at his friend on his left. McHorn called, "Hopps got him."
"Good," the cape buffalo said softly, "That's why it's ok to let her watch our backs. Let's proceed with the plan."
"Fifty have been tranquilized. Still no fatalities," the reporter informed in a shaky tone.
Chief Black bared his fangs as he squeezed the cup in his right paw, slowly cracking it. That made the pair of red ears flinch at the sound.
Fangmeyer quickly swung her sniper rifle to the location of the next probing wolves and fired a dart at one of those targets. Judy kicked another wolf's bottom jaw to the ground, knocking him out. Bogo and his rhino friend slowly advanced forward, gunning each wolf they spotted as quickly as possible. Delgato continued stalking the dense agents and shot them from their blind spot.
"On-One hundred have been tranquilized... and still no fatalities," the intercom whispered, which was the final nail in the coffin.
Chief Black, who was on his last nerve, crushed the cup, shattering it. Two pieces of the double-cupped glass pierced into his manus, suddenly drawing blood from there. He shouted, "The shell are they doing?"
"Hm," the cape buffalo flinched from the loud shatter that echoed in his earpiece, "Look like Detective Black is finally losing it. Keep it up, team. We are on the winning side - progress!"
His response boosted his team's morale. He believed that the boost would work better for his team instead of keeping to himself. He blinked as he felt something slightly graze his horn and turned his attention in the direction the bullet came from. He immediately fired a tranquilizer dart at the shooter and knocked that wolf out like a powerful punch to a punching bag.
"What the-" Chief Black yelled as the entire precinct went dark. He heard a few bodies thudding below him. He believed that some of his agents hit each other in confusion and fell down.
On the first floor, however, it was a different story - Nick put his night sight in use to make brutal hits on the wolves that groped their way around blindly, knocking them out similarly to Judy's way.
The agents armed with lethal rifles tried to wear Bogo's team out as much as possible. However, they were overwhelmed by the team fo five mammals, especially Judy Hopps.
"Hopps, can you please try to preserve your energy - our dart supply is getting low," Bogo called out with a soft tone. He knew that the first bunny cop had better hearing than their targets.
Chief Black grunted furiously as he realized that he had worked his employees in bright light for too long and that they weren't used to the dark. More bodies thudded below him as he stood and started groping his way through the dark office.
"Argh," the wolf chief groaned as his right paw bled from the cup shards, distracting him from his main goal - finding the problem within the building.
At least a hundred wolves laid on the road, majority from the tranquilizer darts and the rest of them beaten down by fists, or in Judy's case, a heavy kick to the head.
"Keep moving as swiftly with as little energy as possible," Bogo called out, slamming two agents onto the road, knocking them out, "So you won't get shot in the chest."
The wolf chief heard a small noise, which stopped him on his track. Fortunately for him, one of his employees wore sunglasses all day. That allowed the employee to get away from the savage fox and search for the distribution board. He fixed the wires to get the power back on. However, the light flickered on and off through the precinct proving he didn't get it fixed correctly.
"Huh," Chief Black startled as the light flickered, finding himself at the door of the office with a carrot pen at his hind paws.
"Almost there," the cape buffalo called out, throwing the agent at the streetlight, impacting the wolf's back on it, knocking him out.
While his two words echoed in the empty street, there were very few wolves remaining conscious on the street. McHorn charged toward one of them and slammed him against an abandoned vehicle, stunning the wolf. He slammed his right paw on top of the stunned wolf's head to knock him out.
Chief Black crouched to pick up the pen with his good paw and noticed a button on its side, which he proceeded to push it. He immediately regretted pushing it as he heard his word that he told Judy the day she refused the case.
"Once a mistake, always a mistake!" the device repeated.
He felt the wind breezing on his back then he turned to the source of air movement. The blood spattered from his injured paw as he tried to search for the source in the flickering light that bothered hie eyes.
"Ah," Chief Black was taken aback in surprise when he saw the red fox dressed in a blue cop uniform lungeing from the chief's desk onto him.
With the last agent's muzzle meet the hood, Bogo snorted loudly then he jerked his head to the left as he heard the suddenly scream of death in his earpiece. He responded, "Good, that scum-ball is dead."
Fangmeyer and Delgato rejoined the team with their empty rifles hanging on their shoulders. Bogo turned his head to Judy as she approached them. He explained to the team about Black's death with his digit pointing at his ear. He glanced at Judy once he finished his explain and nodded, permitting her to take leave as promised. He held his paw at his team before one of them complained.
"Let her go. It's their... the Wilde's business," the cape buffalo reminded his team of his promise to the fox and the rabbit.
