Officer Johnathan Fangmeyer sat in the driver's seat of a Marine humvee with his paws on the steering wheel. In the seat beside him was Leonard Grizzoli, and behind him was Judy Hopps.
The arctic wolf's face was entirely focused on the road in front of them, aiming to get them to Precinct One as fast as possible.
"What do you think we're in for?" The voice of Grizzoli asked beside him as he glanced at the lion.
"Hell if I know, but we've gotta be ready for it" he responded, pressing down harder on the pedal.
"It's bound to be a lot, that's for shit sure," the lion added as Fang nodded, "yeah, but we're not gonna let that stop us," Judy said from behind them.
"Damn right we aren't" he said earnestly.
"With what he's planning to do, we can't let that bastard get to blow up that bomb." Grizzoli added with the same amount of earnestness.
"How far is the station from here?" Judy asked as Fangmeyer looked at the surrounding area, "not far, I'm going as fast as we can, we should be there in a few minutes tops" he answered.
"If there's any way we can get there faster, do it John, we need to get back on the road ASAP" Grizzoli ordered as Fang glanced at him again.
"Can't, there's probably already blockades and checkpoints set up in all entrances to Savannah Central, when we get there we'll have to pass through em first" he said with a nod.
"It'll waste time, but we've gotta do it," he added.
"Then just try to go faster"
There were a few moments of silence before Judy spoke up suddenly, "if they have Nick, we have to be on the lookout for him too" the bunny said as Fang looked at her from the rear view mirror.
"It's a pretty good chance he's with them, but there's also a chance he was taken somewhere else" he said as Grizzoli nodded.
"We can't be sure until we get there though, so if he is with them, we'll grab him" the lion finished, as the humvee slowed and stopped at a checkpoint.
Fang rolled down the window as a lion in military uniform walked up to them, the wolf showed the feline his badge immediately.
"Johnathan Fangmeyer, SWAT Team One, we're coming from MacArthur, we need to rendezvous with Chief Bogo" he said before the lion could even ask them.
The feline grabbed his badge and looked at the other mammals in the car, "and the humvee behind?"
"They're also SWAT, with us," Grizzoli said.
"Alright, you're free to go" the lion said, handing Fang his badge back and running back over, moving the barriers blocking the road.
Fang pressed down fully on the pedal and sped past the checkpoint, followed by the humvee with Mchorn, Frost and Delgato.
The two humvees hightailed it through Savannah Central and towards the Precinct, passing countless blockades and defenses put up by the National Guard, Marines and Army.
Until they rounded the street that Precinct One and Central Square was on, immediately slowing down at the sheer amount of barriers and defenses there were.
Mammals were everywhere, and military vehicles he'd never even seen in his life were dotted along the road leading to the Square.
Two immediate outliers were two large M1A1 Abrams Tanks, guarding the Square itself.
"Christ . . . Talk about being prepared, this looks like a war zone" Grizzoli said in awe as they slowly cruised towards the Square.
"Yeah . . . Rouen won't even see what's fucking coming" Fang added in disbelief.
Eventually they got to the border of the large intersection, blocked by large concrete barriers and sandbags with several Mg's mounted behind it.
Fangmeyer unlocked the car and got out quickly, leaving the key in the ignition as the three mammals jumped out and gathered in front of the barrier.
He looked behind them and saw Mchorn, Delgato and Frost coming as well, quickly rushing over.
"Where's the chief!?" Mchorn shouted as the other three mammals gathered with them.
Fangmeyer shook his head "don't know . . ."
He scanned the area, quickly spotting countless ZPD officers, almost all of them armed with weapons from the SWAT armory, he pointed at them.
"Over there! A bunch of our officers!" He said loudly and looked at them before beginning to dash over.
He was followed by the rest of the SWAT team as they dashed across the open road full of military and ZPD vehicles.
Fangmeyer looked around quickly, trying to spot the Chief as quickly as he could, after almost a minute, he finally spotted the buffalo.
"Hey I found him! Chief!" He shouted and began running over, the buffalo looked at him upon hearing his name being called.
"Chief! Sir!" he shouted as he and the SWAT Team ran over.
"Fangmeyer, Grizzoli, all of you, what happened?!" the buffalo questioned as they stopped, Grizzoli stepped forward.
"Sir, we need two of our SWAT vans to go chase after Rouen, we can't do it in those humvees," the lion explained, pointing a thumb at the vehicles next to the barriers.
The Chief was quick to react, pointing to two of the heavily armed SWAT vans on the road.
"There's two there, take them, but wait…"
All of them stopped and turned to the buffalo, "you'll be going up against almost all of Rouen's men, we're all counting on you to stop him before he gets here." the Chief told them as they stood there.
"We'll stop him sir, don't worry," Grizzoli said with assurance.
"I don't doubt it, restock here if you need, you'll need all the ammunition you can get"
"Negative sir, we're stocked up just fine here, we'll keep in touch with you, just notify Price we're on our way to The Loop" Grizzoli said quickly, before turning to all of them.
"TEAM ONE! LET'S FANG IT!" the lion shouted as they all ran towards the SWAT vans and got in.
"John, I'll drive!" Grizzoli said as he put the key in the ignition, closed the door and went full throttle. The SWAT van sped down the road and around the roadblock, past the two humvees and back onto the road.
Fangmeyer loaded his weapons and strapped himself in the backseat next to Judy, and the bunny looked at him suddenly.
"Wait! I don't have a weapon!" she said looking around a bit frantically.
"Judy, take my M16, I won't use it when I'm driving" Grizzoli said immediately as the lion pointed to the rifle laying on the front passenger seat.
Fangmeyer reached over and grabbed it, before handing it to Judy "it'll be a bit big for you, but it's much better than nothing," he said as the bunny grabbed it.
"I . . . I can work with it, if that's what it takes to save Nick." she said, loading the weapon.
"Be ready to give those bastards hell when we see em guys" Grizzoli said earnestly as the trio prepared for the fight of their lives.
