A.N. Hey folks, Blue Tagg here with the fifth chapter of my story. Here we learn who that lioness is and how she's controlling the men.


The three lady officers were given their assignment. They were just about to leave when Jemma stopped them.

"Wait, guys…" Jemma stopped them as she looked at her tablet.

"What is it?" Lontrun asked, who hasn't left yet.

"While the security cameras were down when the lioness was here, they managed to get a picture of her. So, I ran that picture through the ZPD database, and…." Jemma showed them a picture of a lioness in a mugshot. "Is this her?"

"Yes, that's the lioness from the jewellery store," Judy confirmed. Jemma then began to read from the tablet.

"Her name is Gladys Sheer," Jemma read out. "And from the age of fourteen, she had a few priors for trespassing, stalking, and harassment. And apparently, she has eight restraining orders against her."

"Eight restraining orders?" Judy asked.

"Yeah. According to her record, Sheer had quite an obsession with a few men at a time," Jemma continued to read. "She would constantly follow them everywhere. If any of those men had girlfriends, she would threaten those girls to leave their man. She would usually grow obsessed over a man but eventually go to another one. Finally, she was declared insane and was sent to Zootopia Asylum."

"With an obsession like that, who wouldn't want her there?" Theresa stated.

"Yep. But she was released about four months ago," Jemma stated. "She completed her rehabilitation and was given a clean bill of health."

"Somehow I doubt that bill was legit," Theresa retorted.

"I looked for an address but there wasn't one. And here's another interesting fact, Gladys Sheer has a sister, Doctor Tina Sheer, who is a scientist for the same laboratory."

"Sounds too, coincidental if you ask me," Lontrun realised as she turned to the officers. "You three head over there and see what you can dig up."

"We're on it, ma'am," Judy declared as she, Francine and Theresa made their way towards a cruiser and drove towards the lab.


The trio drove to the lab that was recommended. Once they arrived, they all got out.

"This is the place," Judy declared as they got out of the cruiser.

"So, what are we supposed to be looking for?" Francine asked.

"Probably Dr Sheer for some answers," Theresa suggested.

"Or any answers on how Gladys is turning our friends against us," Judy pointed out.

The three girls walked inside and went up to the lab. The building was deserted as they checked a few rooms. They then entered one room, and just like the others, deserted.

"Just like the other rooms, nobody?" Judy pointed out.

"You'd think a lab like this would have scientists working around the clock," Francine pointed out.

Just then Theresa noticed something up ahead. It was some device in the shape of an orb that was standing on a pole. But it looked burnt out.

"Wonder what this is?" Theresa wondered as the three girls looked at it.

"Probably some kind of machine they have been working on," Judy theorised. "But it looks like it shorted out somehow."

"That's because it did," a voice called out to them.

The officers turned to see a lioness in a pink pencil dress and a lab coat approach them. Judy instantly recognised her from a picture.

"Dr Tina Sheer?" Judy asked the lioness.

"That's me," Dr Sheer introduced herself.

"Officer Judy Hopps," Judy introduced herself. "And these are Officers Francine Pennington and Theresa Prowlson."

"What can I do for you?" Doctor Sheer asked.

"We came here to hopefully speak to you about your sister, Gladys," Francine informed, which made Doctor Sheer sigh.

"Of course, you are," Doctor Sheer sarcastically said with an eye roll. "And what boy has Gladys gone obsessive over now?"

"Well, it's more like men being obsessive with her," Theresa pointed out, which caused Doctor Sheer to be surprised.

"What?" Doctor sheer asked in confusion.

"Yeah, she's managed to get a lot of men to go gaga over her," Francine explained. "Including all the men in our Precinct."

"And my partner and boyfriend Nick," Judy explained. "When Gladys got near, he just went crazy over her. And he called me a 'stupid rodent'."

This soon got Dr Sheer curious.

"This is strange. How can she just get men to go crazy for her? Unless…" Dr Sheer realised as she went over to the machine. "So, she's the one who messed with it."

"Messed with the machine?" Francine asked.

"This, the DNA-Tractor," Dr Sheer explained. "This was a government project. It was designed to bring fugitives to them."

"I have some questions about that name. So, how does it work?" Theresa asked.

"You see, the machine takes a piece of DNA of someone that is put into it. Then it releases an energy wave in all directions in search of a specific DNA. And when it hits the mark, it will cause the target to come to them by the wave affecting the Limbic System, the part of the brain that controls desire," Dr Sheer explained.

"So, it's meant to be a bad guy magnet," Theresa guessed.

"Pretty much," Dr Sheer said. "Gladys must have been the one who affected it."

"Dr Sheer, if you have an idea, could you explain from the beginning?" Judy asked.

"Okay, four months ago when Gladys was released," Dr Sheer explained. "She was placed in a halfway home."

"You mean you nor your family ever took custody of her?" Judy asked.

"Her obsession caused a few huge problems for our family," Sheer told them. "Glady's obsession got our dad fired from his job and cost my mother a good business deal. She then cost our family millions of dollars."

"How did she do that?" Francine asked.

"You aware of that old Nigerian Prince scam?" Sheer asked, which caused them to nod their heads. "Well, Gladys fell for that, Three times! Gladys' obsession was nothing but a bane in our family's life. Eventually, she got herself arrested and sent to that asylum and we broke off all contact with her."

"Like that?" Judy asked.

"Well, not me," Sheer admitted.

"How come?" Theresa asked.

"I don't know, maybe because I still felt connected to her?" Sheer said. "Anyway, she was placed into the halfway home. I then started seeing her again a month ago. I thought she finally got over her obsession, but last week she acted up again. With my boss. I told her to stop, but she refused to listen. Soon my boss had her escorted out of the building and I haven't seen her since. I should myself lucky that I still have a job after that."

The three officers were stunned when they heard the story.

"Doctor Sheer, I'm sorry that happened to your family," Judy said to Doctor Sheer.

"Thank you for your concern," Dr Sheer thanked Judy. "But now we have bigger problems."

"You mentioned that Gladys must've been the one who affected the machine?" Theresa said, motioning to the machine.

"Yes. The next morning after Gladys was kicked out, I noticed the machine was acting different, like it was deprived of the energy it produces," Dr Sheer explained. "Gladys must've somehow absorbed said energy, thus turning herself into the DNA-tractor."

"So that would explain how she's attracting the men," Francine realised. "But why just men?"

"The machine was set to attract anyone with a Y Chromosome, which only men have, so it would make sense that would have been the type of energy that Gladys would've absorbed and is now producing."

"So now that we know how she's doing it, how do we stop it?" Theresa wondered.

Dr Sheer thought for a moment. She then walked over and got out a remote machine.

"If I can get close enough to her then I can use this machine to scan the energy she's producing," Dr Sheer explained. "Then after that, I can find a way to reverse it."

"So, we need to find her now," Judy deduced.

"But how?" Francine asked.

"Let's head back to the Precinct and see if we can find any trace," Judy suggested.

"You coming, Doctor Sheer?" Theresa asked.

"Sure. And please, call me Tina," Doctor Sheer, or Tina asked as she took off her lab coat.

So, the three officers and lioness, with a new mission, left the lab and got into the cruiser which drove off.


A.N. And that was the fifth chapter, my dear readers. So, we know who the lioness is and how she's controlling the men. I'm not a science guy, but I did some research on things for the story.

Anyway, next chapter we see Gladys and her enthralled minions.

Till then readers.
