The next day...

"Judy, wake up." she woke up to a soothing voice right beside her.

"Morning Nick." she glanced at the clock at her bedside.

"Oh sweet cheese and crackers! Change up Nick, today is the day we are going to find survivors!"

"And Officer fluff has officially clocked in."

By the time they opened the garage, Nick suddenly thought to himself, 'Why did I join that damned intelligence agency?'

Somewhere in Zootopia...

"How did it go?"

"Just as planned boss."

"I want you to make 2 batches of antidotes, 25 per batch."

"Expect it in a week."

Back at the garage...

"Hey fluff, do you want to drive?" Nick asked her in attempt to make her more lively again

"Do I want to drive? Hell yeah!"

"Okay fluff, all the way to the ZPD."

Not long after they left the garage, a savage wolfpack heard the engines and started chasing after them, "Hey Carrots, this is how you pump a .50 cal." and with that, Nick went up the turret, disabled the remote firing mode and manned it himself.

"Oh boy, It's been years since I shot this one." When Judy heard this she was alarmed, 'What is he talking about? He didn't shoot anybody yet." seeing how this might be another joke, Judy brushed it off, concluding that there is no way that he was hiding something from her.

Or at least that's how she felt...

After spending more than fifteen minutes on the road, Judy reached for her radio and listened to classic music when it was suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice, "This is Max Michaels, I caused this outbreak, I want you to drop 5 Billion Zootopian Dollars in the alley beside Jerry Jumbeaux Jr.'s shop. If you do, there will be a crate containing antidotes waiting for you at Mole Harbour in the exact same moment you drop it. You have 2 weeks to decide."

Stunned, Judy switched to the secondary engine and gunned the pedal, moving at an insane speed of 30 mph

Once inside the ZPD motor pool, Nick went to the Chief's office and Judy to the lockers.

"Chief, did you hear the broadcast?" Nick asked while barging in enraging the buffalo.

"WHY THE FUCK NO ONE IN THIS PRECINCT KNOCKS BEFORE GOING INSIDE MY OFFICE!?" Bogo yelled, he was sick of everyone just barging in and failing to enjoy his time with the Gazelle app on his phone.

"Because everyone here is only barging in when they give you urgent information, and you need to know all urgent information in the whole ZPD." Judy countered, trying to keep the pressure off of them, all the officers were looking at them trying to find out what caused the buffalo's sudden rage and aggression.

"Okay, Chief Bogo, I need you to know that we are going to secure a path going to Cliffside Asylum, we need you to plan out the best route towards the location for resupply and rotating the SWAT Teams stationed there." Chief Bogo for once, fell silent, he never knew this side of the fox he calls officer, and of all his years at the ZPD, no officer like him displayed an authoritative manner to anyone - including himself - and was surprised when he heard all this from a fox which seven months ago proved him wrong and contributed to cracking a case that included Zootopia's government. He just keep getting surprised by this fox.

"Bullpen, five minutes." was all he got from the buffalo, five minutes later, they all gathered in the bullpen awaiting orders.

"Due to Officer Wilde's insistence we are going to secure Cliffside and cleara route to it, now if there is anyone opposed to this operation, might as well go to traffic enforcement because I have no use of you here." The whole room was silent, satisfied, Bogo went ahead with the plan making and plans to use the Ficus - South Canyon overland route, just when everything was agreed on, Nick could not agree with the route to be taken and starts an arguement.

"You know Chief, if I wanted to avoid surveillance because I was doing something illegal, which I totally haven't, I would take the Rainforest District - Tundratown tunnels, turn left on Maintenance Tunnel 6B, straight through Acacia Alley, Ficus Underpass and South Canyon, and I'm sure that no maintenance occurred there because the next scheduled repair would be in the next two weeks."

"Fine, have it you way. Gear up we load up on the APC's and tanks in 40 minutes, dismissed."

During the time allocated to gear up, Nick went to the lockers instead of the armory and gets his Modified AN Spy 2 helmet with an FFI and HUD, and dons his full body trauma plate armor. Meanwhile, Judy heads to the Firearms Depository to claim their M4 Carbine SOPMOD along with their combat belts with 24 magazines, six grenades and six flashbangs, when they were ready, they went to the garage to load up in the H2 only to find it missing, as it turns up right in front of them, Technical Officer Alex Reynolds made a second control module for the Fire Scout in the cargo compartment, when they met him, Nick gave him the most menacing glare he could muster.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Alex asked confused by the looks on their faces.

"Where did you take the H2?" Nick asked, growling at him.

"I told you didn't I? Check your messages 2:00 am" When Nick looked at his phone, what he said was right, when he asked how he got it running, he simply said that he and 10 other officers just pushed the H2 to the garage and got a key from his pocket, "You left a spare set to the motor pool two days ago so I just took the opportunity to actually do something significant."

"Good job Alex, honestly I don't know how to cram a whole module there." Nick admitted, he saw a talent in Alex, a talent that mirrored his years ago.

"It was all redundant components really so I just copied the console and everything and integrated it to your satellite uplink."

"Seriously though, thanks a lot if you want more tips on building, just ask me." Nick said and with that they loaded up and the eight vehicle convoy left the ZPD.

Travelling at a slow speed of 40 mph, they formed one line all the way the the tunnels, where they had to take turns dodging overturned cars and huge debris that the tracked vehicles cannot roll over.

When they were on sight of Cliffside, they saw the facility on lockdown but the gates were open as if a truck barrelled down on them, they saw the bloodied road with the bodies of the SWAT Team lying down on the road with blood seeping out of their cold bodies.

When the first APC unloaded, the atmosphere was quiet when a high pitched whistle darted across the air, narrowly missing Delgato's mane and going through the arm of McHorn.

"SNIPER!" yelled Nick, he was in such a rush to get Anderson online that the whole system booted in five minutes and was well on its way to Cliffside.

"Everyone! Take cover in the building!" Bogo ordered, and all the vehicles were empty except for the driver and the gunner which scanned the Cliffside if any snipers were there using their IR Sensors, but Nick knows that the sensors were not enough and as if on cue, Anderson arrived with a deadly M134 at the turret mount and four racks of Hellfire missiles were armed and ready for any signs of hostiles.

When they took cover in the building, McHorn was told to go find cover when he was shot again in the leg, cursing colorfully, he lies down and awaits for further orders as the corridor to the Medbay was full of glass pane with iron bars to prevent the original patients from escaping, that did little to no use when it comes to protection.

Just when the sniper shot the round that injured McHorn's leg Anderson's FFI took over and shot the sniper, when it hovered above the body the identity of the shooter was Woolter. Barely Identifiable if it were not for the eyepatch he wore due to the overkill that occured.

When they cleared the perimeter, the challenge of clearing Cliffside came, a challenge that they never should have accepted.
