Chapter 5

Otter's note: I just watched an Ice Nine Kills livestream concert. THEY FUCKING R.I.P! I Jigsaw them live (haha get it) last year and they fucking killed! They even brought out Mickey Mouse!

The next day I got up and put on my Rise Against shirt (btw have you heard their song "Broken Dreams, Inc."? It rips!) and put on a pair of athletic shorts (I was too young to mosh so wasn't doing zipper pockets yet). I went upstairs to meet Ashkii.

"Ashkii," I said, "today we go to the police station."

"Yes," she said sadly, "Someone needs to find our Emmitt."

Ashkii pulled out a picture she had of the house family (because Emmitt was in it). She put it into her purse, and we left. We took the metro to the police station. In the metro station there was a poster that was advertising concerts. They included the Warped Tour and a concert with Barkway Drive. As we got off the metro in Savanna central

As we walked to the police station, I noticed she was about to cry.

"Should I go in with you?" I asked.

"No," Mrs. Otterton replied, "I'm fine by myself."

She walked into the police station and I waited outside. As I was waiting, a young Badger from Richmond Virginia trundled right up to me.

"Hello there," he said, "I see you like music as well. I like that Rise Against shirt you got."

"Thanks," I said, "My friend bought it for me. I'm new here. I just moved in from Michigan. The name is Alister Otterton."

"Alright," said the Badger, "I'm Noah Sebadger and I'm from Virginia, and I got a band."

"Cool," I said, "what's the band name?"

"Badger Omens," he said, "If you like Bring Me The Horizon you will like us. We have a few singles out. I suggest you listen to them. Can I sell you a shirt?"

"Stoatally," I said as I got out a 20.

"Thanks for the support," he said as he gave me the shirt and trundled away.

I pulled up Zootube and listened to a song they had called "Glass Houses." It absolutely ripped! I definitely support this band.

I was looking at my Facebook on my phone when suddenly I heard a loud noise and looked up.

I noticed a donut sculpture rolling on the ground. However, there was also a weasel trapped inside of it.

"BIG GOOCH MOTHERFUCKER!" shouted the weasel as he rolled in through the doors of the police station.

Followed behind the weasel was the same rabbit I saw on the train. What the fuck was she doing? Maybe she was a bit crazy.

She barged into the police station and shouted, "I POPPED THE WEASEL!" (that's what she said lol).

The doors closed. I knew that Ashkii was still in there. I would guess that talking to the police in Zootopia can be quite a hassle, as it has been a pretty long time now.

About 5 minutes later, Mrs. Otterton came back out of the police station with a little bit of a smile on her face. I immediately went up to her.

"Alister," she said as she hugged me, "they can do it!"

"YES!" I screamed as my voice cracked (I was 14 so stfu).

"Her name is Officer Hopps," she said, "And apparently she is the first rabbit on the entire force."

"Oh shit," I said, "I know her."

"Wait you do?"

"Yes," I said, "she is from Bunnyburrow. I often visited that town as it is only 45 minutes from Muskegon."

"Oh nice," my aunt said.

"I met her on the train on the way down. She also has crazy parents. They are also obsessed with fox repellent and fox tasers like mine are. Maybe it's a Michigan thing."

"Oh great," Ashkii said, "I also have her number so can keep in touch. I'm 100 percent hoping she will find our Emmitt."

"Me too," I said.

We took the metro back to our house in the Rainforest District.

When we walked in the house, we were immediately greeted by our cousins.

"Corey! Piper!" Ashkii said, "we have excellent news for you!"

The two listened but were also running around.

"We have someone to find Emmitt," Ashkii said.

The two pups cheered loud and ran in to hug the both of us.

"I wuv you," Piper said.

"Hopefully, in a few days, he will be found," I said, "And we can all be together, as a family of five."

"Me too," said Corey.

The rest of the day was spent inside. We were in the rainforest district and it is usually cloudy (it is also pretty cloudy in Muskegon but at least the Rainforest District isn't ugly).

I started listening to Bullet For My Vulpine's Venom album which came out last year. Suddenly, I realized that Ashkii was getting into it as well.

"Oh, Ashkii," I said, "You like this?"

"Yeah it's actually pretty good," she said.

I then realized that my two cousins were trying to sing along as well.

"Even the two of you like this," I said, "Great."

Once the album finished, Corey piped up. "I want to hear more of your music," he said.

I then put on Slipknotter's .5 album as well as Quillswitch Engage's Incarnate album. My cousins liked both and so did Ashkii.

"Alright," I said, "I think I am turning you onto my music."

"You are indeed," Ashkii said, "I wouldn't think I would be listening to heavier stuff."

I thought that stuff was pretty heavy at the time but would eventually grow to realize there was much heavier and they would realize too.

It was night and we had dinner. Tonight we were having baked salmon with lemon glaze. It was very good.

It was almost time to go to sleep (I was younger, so I went to sleep earlier) but then Ashkii got a text on her phone.

"Oh, Alister," she said, "some news."

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's from Officer Hopps. She says she has teamed up with one of the last known mammals to see Emmitt."

"Oh really," I asked.

"Said it was actually Nick Wilde. Turns out he has hustled pawpsicles for the past 20 years."

"Oh shit," I said, "he's my friend. I buy those 'pawpsicles' from him every time I visit. Oh shit he was a hustler?"

"According to Hopps," Ashkii said.

"I supported his business for years and so did Emmitt. I can deal with this though because he is cool. Plus, as you know, he is also a metalhead. He especially likes the stuff from Finland like Battle Beast, Korpiklaani, and Nightwish because he is part Finnish. Kinda strange that this whole thing is going on."

"Yeah," Ashkii said, "they said they traced him to Mystic Springs. They found out the license plate and ran it at the DMV. All the employees were sloths, so it took a long time but now they know the car."

"Great," I said. I was only 14 so I wasn't old enough to drive yet.

"Now they've found out. It was a limousine in Tundratown. They just texted me telling me that they are on their way to find the car."

"Noice!" I said, "We're getting closer. I'm going downstairs to sleep now."

"Alright," Ashkii said, "hopefully, in the morning, we have a better sense."

I went downstairs.
