Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances

Chapter 18 – Big girls don't cry

POV Cammy

I was sitting in a dark and scary little basement and I had no idea where I was exactly. Shortly after we ran away from the prison, a black van without any number plates had picked us up and brought us here. When we got out of the car, we were underground in some sort of garage and went through an inconspicuous looking door, which led us into this uncomfortable and cold room of misery. I was sitting right next to Chester, Victoria, Bernard and all the others who got arrested with me on that night in the sex bar. But this time we had some more company, and it was anything but pleasant for me. At least I had something else to wear instead of the orange prison clothing, they had brought us new outfits as soon as we arrived here.

Next to the TV screen that hung on the wall, I was the most stared at thing in the room. Nobody said a single word until the police finally gave out the first statement about what happened today. The reporters where practically rushing the poor lion and wolf who were hanging on that high-ass building, and I felt nothing but ashamed about that whole thing. I felt like the worst person that ever lived on this planet. Everything started with a small number of drugs I sold under the table every now and then…and now this? I felt like I could never look one of my friends in the eyes ever again. I felt like a real criminal.

The mad looking faces that stared at me didn´t make it better either. The only plausible reason I had for ignoring them was looking at the TV screen, but that wasn´t a bad idea anyways. Nick and Judy where in front of the cameras too: "We´re glad they´re still alive, but we can´t tell you any more details right now! There will be a press conference this evening at 6PM, where you can ask all your questions and we´ll give our best on answering them! If you have any advice on where we could find those criminals, please let us know about it as soon as possible. Thank you!" Judy told them, before she and Nick simply ignored the cameras and went on their way. Somewhere deep in my better judgement, I knew where I had to be at that time today, but I wasn´t totally convinced right now.

"Still trying to get a glimpse of your new lover?" Chester asked me suddenly and very unforgiving, "You want to see him again, that little bastard?"

"Shut up" I muttered back in annoyance.

"No! I won´t shut up! You fucked all that up, don't tell me to shut up!"

"What exactly did I fuck up?!" I yelled back at him, "I was in heat because of a police officer which I didn´t expect to be in that club, and he was disguised with black color in his fur! Why would you think I did that on purpose?"
That shut him up for a second, but he was not the only one who was mad at me.

"You cannot danger such a crucial meeting with your private problems!" Victoria told me, sounding very wisely all over sudden. Every little bit of respect I had for her before was gone with that. That behavior was just disgusting.

"Was it at least good yesterday?" the other jaguar continued bickering, and it really gave my nerves the rest for now. I just wanted to cry. I just wanted to be alone, I just wanted to leave and never come back to those ignorant pieces of shit.

"Mind if I just leave you assholes now?" I asked, before I stood up from the uncomfortable couch I was sitting on.

"You´re going nowhere!" Chester warned me, "If they find you here, they´ll find us here too! You know how risky and expensive it was to get us out of there? You better be thankful that you can stay here for now, because you won´t stay in this city for very much longer either!"

"Why was he telling me what I could to and what I don't?" I asked myself, not even acting like I was about to sit back down again. I didn´t want to leave this city and I didn´t want to live my life as a criminal either. I didn´t want to have anything to do with any of those guys anymore at all. If they only knew that I told him everything about the power cut yesterday, they probably would have killed me already. I knew that there was that one small problem for Nick, that he couldn´t really what I told him, at least I hoped so, but I would confess it again without the need for being asked twice once again anyways by now. I wanted to fix my life, and I wanted to get out of this shithole as soon as possible.

"Whatever!" I snickered back hatefully, "Where is the toilet? I just want to get you little pieces of shit out of my sight for a minute!" I screeched, and it really seemed to work. It looked authentic.

"Do you just want to get out of this situation like a little bitch or do you want to solve this like an adult?" Victoria asked me harshly.

I decided to play the gangster card a little longer and showed them what I was really thinking of them right now, so I spat on the floor right before them, followed by a very intriguing look. Then, without another word, I went down the hallway in search for the restrooms.

"Boohoo, the little girl is very mad at us! That´s going to give her a lot of respect!" somebody laughed behind me ironically, but I just ignored it and went along. Their teasing had no point whatsoever, I would fuck them up anyways.

Pretty soon I actually found a lady´s bathroom, and it was just as ugly and beat down as the rest of this fucked up place. I knew it was under the ground level, because that black transporter was driving down a steep ramp before we left it, but I had the hope that there would be a something to leave this place somehow, and I was right luckily. There was a little window in the lady´s restroom, and the little square room outside that had just two metal lattices loosely laying on top of it. I checked my surroundings once again, but even the hallway outside seemed to be totally empty and quiet. So, I just went for it. I opened the window, climbed outside and tried lifting up one of the lattices with all the strength I could bring up. At first, it seemed to be a little stuck, but when I jiggled it a little it eventually moved and I was able to lift it up a little and slide it aside carefully. It made a lot of noise though, and I was really scared that somebody would notice.

Finally, I got a spot big enough to climb outside and into freedom. With a lot of effort and willpower I really had done it, and nobody had noticed. The building they were hiding in was at the end of a dead end, and the whole road was quiet as I checked my surroundings. I even knew that part of Zootopia from my childhood, and I instantly remembered how I could get back into my part of town in the shortest possible time.

When I caught my breath again after that little climbing session, I lifted up the metal lattice and moved it back into place where it was before. Then, I set off for the only alternative I had left, since I didn´t have the keys to my flat anymore. Also, I wanted to see her one last time, before I would go back into prison again, and I wanted to tell her that I would stand up for what I did and start all over if I should get the chance. Before I left it, I also made sure to catch the name of the street they were hiding in, because that could probably be really helpful later.

POV Victoria

"Where is she?" Chester asked after a little while, and he had a good point of asking that, "What is she doing in there for so long?"

"Raymond?" my boyfriend asked the big and buffed polar bear who just had joined us, "She didn´t pass you to get out of the building, did she?"

Raymond just shook his head quietly and we had no reason to not trust him. They were doing a pretty good job in keeping people in our out of buildings, and they never let us down on that before.

"Vicky?" Chester asked me, "Can you go to the lady´s bathroom and check out on her? We can´t risk anything…"

I nodded understandingly, before I lifted myself off the couch, "Give me a minute" I let them know, before I went on my way.

I took a right at the same corridor Cammy went in five minutes earlier and followed it until I reached the girl´s restroom at the end of it.

"Cammy?" I asked into the weakly illuminated room with the three cabins on the right.

Two of the doors were closed, but not locked, and one was completely open. I went for the closed ones and opened them carefully one after another. Both of them were empty.

"Shit" I cursed lowly, "Where is she?"

I took a look around once again and noticed the open window besides the sink. I opened it completely and noticed a metal lattice laying on top of the little room outside. When I tried moving it, it was not a big deal to push it up and to the side. No doubt she got out of there.

"Fuck!" I yelled loudly, running back towards the others as quickly as possible.

"She got out!" I yelled hastily, "Bathroom window!"

"Nonono!" Chester cursed while shaking his head vigorously, "Search her! She can´t have come far, we need to get her!" he yelled.

"Little slut!" my boyfriend cursed, "Why is she doing that?"

I was a little angered because of that too, but somehow I could understand the little vixen a little also. We really weren´t fair on her.

"Do you really wonder, why?" I asked harshly, "If you treat her like that and make her responsible for everything?"

"No reason to bring us in such trouble!" Carl complained.

"Stop sitting around! We need to find her before they do!"

With that, they all stood up from the couch.

"Stop!" I yelled, "We can´t show ourselves either! They will notice us!"

I pointed at the polar bear who was still here, "Let them search for her!"

"She´s right!" Chester agreed, giving Raymond a confirming nod, "Go search for her! If we can´t afford to get discovered because of her!"

The polar bear nodded once again silently and went on his way immediately afterwards. His service wasn't cheap, so he had to deliver. And he had a mission.

POV Cammy

"Hello?" Suzanne´s sweet voice asked through the connection on the main entrance of the building, half a minute after I rang at her doorbell. Nobody had followed me so far, nobody knew where I was. To keep it like that, I wanted to get into a save building as soon as possible.

"Hey Suzie" I panted with the last breath I had left, "It´s me! Can I come in for a second?"

"Cammy?" she asked in total surprise and shock.

"Yeah!" I confirmed, "I just want to say goodbye, I´ll explain everything, just let me in first, please!"

She really was hesitating for a second, and I didn´t blame her, because the whole city was searching for me. But after a few seconds I heard the buzzing from the door lock and it opened up for me.

"Thank you" I whispered weakly, before I went in and up the stairs quickly.

When I arrived on the second level of the building, her door was just opened for a little peak, but when she saw me, she opened it completely and let me in. After I had closed the door behind me, the next thing I did was hugging her tightly.

"I´m so sorry!" I whispered into her ears, and I already had tears in my eyes.

"Cammy…you…you were in the news" she stuttered, "You wore prison clothing, they let you out because of a hostage taking!" she said in total confusion.

"I know!" I cried, "I never wanted that! I feel so sorry about that! I never wanted that to happen to those poor officers! I know those two like forever!" I explained with tears of guilt in my eyes, "They did that to get us out of that prison, but I didn´t even knew about it!"

"Why did they even arrest you?" she asked, "I was so worried about you in the last few days! You didn´t answer any of my phone calls!"

"The other things we sold…you know, that deal I was talking about, to get some more resources…"

"Yeah?"

"Have a guess who was in that stupid sex bar too and arrested us there."

"No! Really? That was that?" she asked, "I was reading about that in the headlines! …But I thought that was about the power cuts…you know, where Officer Wilde was undercover and half naked and…there was a photo of that in the Zootopian News…"

"We did that with the power cuts too…" I confessed to her, because it was inevitable anyways, "…and I´m going to hand myself over this evening because of all that, you know… at that press conference!"

She nodded understandingly.

"I want to stay in this city, and even if that costs me a year of my life or more! I don't want to be on the run for the rest of my life!"

Now she hugged me back even tighter.

"I´m so proud of you!" she whispered.

"I swear to god, I didn´t want that to happen today! I caused so much trouble already!"

"Trouble? Like…"

"Like I got on everybody´s nerves in the ZPD because…"

"Oh, yeah! …Didn´t you say you were in heat because of Nick?" she interrupted me, having a dirty little grin on her face suddenly. I knew that that was about to come anyways.

"Yeah…" I chuckled, still with some rest of tears in my eyes, "That´s what I meant with trouble…"

"You seem very calm for that matter" she remarked.

"Oh, shut up!" I grinned back, as I followed her into the living room. I still was fighting with the urge to cry, but that topic switch actually wasn´t too bad right now.

"No way!" she giggled out, "You didn´t have sex with a police officer, did you?"

"Shut up!" I told her once again, in an ironically childish manner.

She grabbed the newspaper from under her couch-table and began searching for something. A few seconds later, she showed me the photo of him in the night club, half naked, all wet and holding his police badge in his paws.

"That is freaking hot!" she grinned, not even awaiting me to answer that. She knew it already. "He is so handsome, isn´t he?"

"I tore apart half my prison cell because of it" I sighed, "And all of his uniform."

"You´re one lucky girl, you know that!"

"I´m not too proud about it actually…he didn´t do it because he wanted it, he did it because his girlfriend wanted him to."

"His girlfriend?"

"The little bunny who cracked the night-howlers case with him..." I explained, "He was in heat because of her, and since he confessed his love to her, they can´t be split apart anymore…they love each other more than anything as it seems!"

"Wait…and she wanted him to do that for you?"

"I guess she just felt bad for me…and I was giving her the hint that he was in heat before that all happened…you know, when she visited me for coffee on that day…she didn´t knew what his problem was and why he couldn´t come to work, so I gave her some advice…I think she realized how painful and unnerving that is, that's why she wanted him to release me…"

"Ok, I guess you should really be thankful then…that bunny is not a bad person!"

"I am thankful! And I´m going to tell her, when I hand myself in this evening!"

"You´re doing the right thing!" she supported me, "Also, tell them all you know about the drug dealing and you´ll get your life back eventually!"

"I knew you would understand me" I chuckled happily, wiping away the last few tears with my paws, "Thanks for not turning away from me!"

She nodded and gave me a face that said more than a thousand words. She still was my best friend and I could always count on her.

"So, a fox and a bunny are in a relationship?" she chuckled to change the topic a little, "Does that work? I mean…physically?"

That question really made my blush a little, accompanied by a wide grin.

"I knew that would come you little perv!" I chuckled at her.

"That is a good-looking fox! And you had sex with him! You must now the details, so why would I not ask?" she grinned, "You know me!"

"You really should go into that sex bar one day!" I grinned back, "…very interesting down there!"

"Will you go there with me when you´re back out again?" she snickered back.

"Yeah, yeah…"

"But really, what was it like with him?"

"Honestly…I have no idea how that works between them" I grinned, "But he probably is more-gentle with her than he was with me yesterday."

"Really?" she asked, still with great interest for more details, "Was it better than with your ex?"

"When he finally stopped torturing me, yeah…"
"Why would he hurt you?"

"Because I wasn´t confessing the thing with the power-cut earlier" I sighed, hoping she would stop asking already.

"No offense…but that sounds so hot! That sounds a little like some sort of role-play even, didn´t that make it much more exciting?"

"You really are a little freak!" I told her, shaking my head with a dirty little grin.

"I know! Tell me more already!"

"He´s endowed like a freaking wolf! And he has the strength of one too!" I told her, and that shut her up for a second.

"Oh my god, that´s so hot!" she stated, while covering her mouth with her paws in a girly way, "Where only do I find a guy like him? I´m so jealous right now!" she grinned, "I would have been so glad to trade with you!"

"Yeah, alright…"

"No, but really! I always thought the sexy looking ones always are the worst in bed…"

"Yeah, never judge a book by its cover" I chuckled, "I wasn´t expecting that either…"

"That must have been so good!" she continued on teasing me.

"Not only, it also was painful…I wouldn´t want it like that once again…"

Although she really was interested in this topic, she noticed that I had enough of this discussion for now and let it be with that, mercifully.

"Let´s turn on the News for a second, I want to know what the media says about it in the meanwhile!" I told Suzanne after a short little pause.

She took me by the word and turned on the TV with the remote on the couch table. The literally first thing we saw was another interview with Officer Fangmeyer and Officer Wolfheart. They were talking about their experience of waking up at that height and how they got kidnapped in a night club yesterday night, and I already felt so ashamed about it again. I wanted to tell them personally how sorry I felt about that meanwhile, and the camera footage of the blackmailing, which they showed alongside the questions, also made me gasp in fear once again. That footage really looked terrifying. My hate on the others got bigger with every second I was sitting here and watching that. They had to get punished for that as well, I decided, and I hoped they would get fucked for that. No matter if physically or from a judicial point of view.

POV Chester

"That little bitch is going to fuck us up once more!" I shouted angrily, as I slammed my fist onto the table in front of me.

We still were in that little shithole in the Dogtown-district, and Raymond just came back with another set of very bad news. They weren´t able to find her, with three different cars searching for her in the whole area.

"We have to get away from here!" Bernard called, and the jaguar actually had a point with that.

"But where to?" Victoria asked, "Those little fuckers have closed down the storage hall as well a few days ago!"

"Yeah!" Bernard supported her angrily, "Because you idiots really had to talk loudly about it in the fucking sex club!"

"Don´t call me an idiot!" I yelled back at him aggressively, while pointing my finger on him, "You said we will be save down there!"

"How could I know those stupid cops would search in that fucking basement?"

"You said it´s save!"

"That fucking vixen messed it all up. I told you before that we shouldn´t have taken her in in the first place!" the crazy coyote named Carl added, "Why won´t you ever listen to me?"

"Or maybe, just maybe" Victoria suggested, "those cops simply are as good as they always say in the news!" she explained while shrugging her shoulders, "You´ve all witnessed what that fox did with us in the club! He knew exactly what we were thinking! I bet you any money that that little motherfucker was on our side of the law too, once in his life, probably before he became a police officer, however he did that…"

We hadn´t anything to counter that theory with, and that really felt embarrassing. I really hated that little fox.

But we couldn´t concentrate on that right now anyways, we had to keep cool.

"Does not matter!" I got back their attention, "we are going to be fucked pretty soon once again, if we don´t anything! I have an idea, listen up! Here is what we´re going to do…"

Don't worry, more is soon to come! Just have to correct it once again!

Tell me what you think, I´m always glad about some critique!

Have a great day,
