Here I am, back again with another chapter of this story, I bet some of you were dying to see the next chapter because of the cliffhanger I left you guys on. Well bother no more, because here it is. And for the ones that tried to guess the riddle, the answer was silence. You will see what that has to do with the story, and as always, enjoy! :)

"Flash, can you perhaps go a bit slower or at least unlock the window?!" The window starts to come down slowly, like everything he does, and the moment it is big enough for my head to stick out, I throw up all that I have for food in my stomach falling into the street as a lime green line. Flash laughed as I barfed everything out of my system, I swear he can be a real annoying guy when he laughs slowly, it sounds like the slow evil laughs in movies. Once I finished I rubbed it out with my sleeve and just as my head was back inside the car made an immediate stop. I looked around seeing a dark road beside a lightened white wall extending to an entrance up front.

"We're...here." he said "What...exactly...are you...planning...to do?"

"I am gonna have to break in and rescue them from whatever Nick has done." I told him as I opened the door.

"I don't...think that's...possible with...your injuries."

"Well," I confessed "It was just a disguise." I come out of the car and close the door with the window still open I tell Flash. "I am going to need for you to stay here until I come back, we might need a fast escape, can I count on you for that?"

"Sure." he said as he started to recline his chair.

"Just be ready for when I come back with them." I started to walk towards the wall, it was tall, not even tall enough for a elephant to jump and grab onto, yet again, can they even jump or grab onto a wall? I tried to jump and reach a grabbable part of the wall, but it was well made and the top of the wall was well over a foot away from my reach. I looked around and remembered my wheelchair, I requested for Flash to open the trunk and from there I retrieved the wheelchair. I placed it in front of the wall and took a couple steps back.

I ran towards the wall stepping one foot in the wheelchair and the other trying to use the wall as another impulse. I reached for the wall's top and grabbed by the finger tips, I then immediately used my other whole hand to grab hold of the wall. The first hand fell by cause of the cold slippery cement, and the second one was on the same course. Then I felt an object in my jacket pocket as if it was about to fall, it was my knife, I took it out with the free hand and started to use it to climb. I first tried to foolishly stick it to the wall, but of course that didn't work, so I tried again, this time using it as a hook clawed to the other side. With that I managed to get a whole arm over the wall, then the other, then a leg, and then the other until I was over it.

I looked at the rest of the scenery below me, I was right in front of a garden maze with bushes as tall as the wall. I could spot three polar bears guarding the large maze, they seemed prepared for anything. I couldn't go any other way, for to my left were about 10 guards in an open area, and to my right was some sort of party with many guards as well. I gave one last glance at the maze and tried to remember how to go through it. I even looked around of a possible escape route since the front entrance wasn't an option. In a corner of the maze stood a shed that probably had all the gardening instruments, I could climb that and from the roof jump to the outside of the wall.

I finally decided to jump in and begin the infiltration, trying to remember where to go I traveled through the maze and noticed that the sound of me crossing through the snow was noticeable and that I was clearly leaving footprints behind. For this to work I would need to take on the bears, I began to make my way, not to the exit but to the shed to try and find something I could use to knock out a polar bear. On my way there I heard footsteps that weren't mine getting closer to the corner I was beside of. I stopped walking and so did the other footsteps. Through the little bits of visibility that appeared to cross walls, there stood one of the guards, the guard started to sniff around starting to walk again closer to the corner.

I quickly and quietly took off my jacket and prepared myself to use it in order to stop his breathing and knock him out. Once the guard made his turn towards me I immediately sprang into action and covered his entire face with it. Since he couldn't see he started to wobble all around trying to desperately get some air or get to see what was happening. He tried to shake me off but I was persistence and to make things go faster, I kicked him in the stomach provoking him to lose some air. And seconds after that he was out cold, I proceed to check his pockets in case I would find myself upon something useful.

As I suspected they had weapons, this guy had a knife that looked like it was meant for stabbing and a tranquilizer gun with three darts. "Why would a polar bear need a knife if he has his claws?" I thought. I proceeded to abandon the search for the shed and kept on going quietly towards the exit, after turning a couple corners I found yet another bear. Luckily he was giving me his back so I retreated out of his sight and prepared myself to shoot. I have taken some practice with shooting, but those were real guns, who knows how much could gravity affect the dart. The bear was 12 meters away from me so I pointed the tranquilizer at him as if it were a real gun and the dart fell in his back. The bear made a sudden flinch in reaction to the dart's hit and I quickly hid again. I heard him come close to my spot saying "Who's there?" I still kept quiet, hoping that the effects would soon emerge. He asked again but this time more tired, the closer he got the more tired he grew based upon him repeatedly asking the same thing.

Then I hear him collapse into the snow and I get out of my hiding spot, I reload and check for any more darts he might have, I even took the extra gun in case I have to get two at the same time. Then I noticed that neither of the two guards had some sort of communicating device apart from their phone, which I did not take. "These guys don't seem like professionals." I thought to myself.

I continue my search for the last bear and find him with back to the entrance of the maze, I take out one of the tranquilizers and hit him in the neck. This time instead of hiding I ran towards him and just as he turned around I punched him in the snout making him take steps back and trip with the snow. After a couple of seconds after hitting him he goes out cold and I proceed to take his weaponry as usual and hide him inside the maze.

As soon as I get out of the maze I look around to see if there are any more guards nearby that could spot me on the way to the mansion. There was none in sight so I ran towards the nearby wall of the building and hid there looking again for any more guards. Then I heard a voice. "Hey David, I think I saw something over here."

"All right Clark, i'll be right behind you." The sound of their footsteps seemed to get closer so I made a bit of a hole in the ground and dug myself in it. I waited a while until I finally heard them close enough to have gone right around the corner, then they continue walking to my direction as one says. "Seems like whoever was here vanished from thin air." said one of the guards.

"Or gone to the roof." said the other, I knew that at least one of the bears would be looking up at that point so I emerged from the snow with a bit of struggle but managed to shoot the two guards in the chest. Then I stand up from the snow and balance myself before tackling them both at the same time. I then proceed to cover their snouts to prevent any alerting of more guards until they were completely out unconscious.

After that double take out I proceeded to take even more darts, but there were none, instead I found an extra weapon in both of the guards. They each had a normal handgun like those that spies use in the movies so that the gunshots are not heard. They were definitely going to be of great use, I looked into one of the guns to check how much ammunition it had. Instead of finding bullets I found some smaller darts, when I tried to take one out and inspect it, I got a sudden shock from it. "Taser bullets, these will do nicely," I thought to myself "I wonder why they don't use real guns."

Mixed in my thoughts I was surprised by the sound of the entrance gate opening and of a car driving inside. That car looked exactly the same as the one that took Todd, Nick, and the bunny, and to prove my thoughts, out came the three of them being escorted by three polar bears. I wanted to spring into action but something inside kept telling me that I would only get captured if I engaged now. In the end they all got inside and the car left through the gate, then I looked at the entrance from the corner of the wall, there was a camera there. But then I saw better noticing that it was not one but four cameras, each one covering every angle I could get in through.

Then I remembered what one of the guards said earlier, 'Or gone to the roof.' I looked upwards and saw the roof was not so high above me as the wall, in fact I could reach it from where I was, probably because of the amount of snow that was over the ground. I reached for the border of the roof and again used the knife as some kind of hook, after I got up there I began to crawl through the roof top. At first I was thinking of climbing there but I realised i would be extremely noticeable, who wouldn't notice a man walking on the top of a roof? As I crawled upward, I began to notice a light shining upward, "That's probably my entry route." I thought to myself. As I got closer I noticed voices getting louder, I eventually got close enough to the light to see that it was a large flattened window.

I pushed some of the snow away of the window enough for me to see through, the three of them were there. "Mr. Big, sir," started Nick "this is a simple misunder-" Nick was cut off from his sentence while a little black spec that seemed like a rat extended his hand, then Nick proceeded in slightly kissing it and continuing where he left off. "This is a simple misunderstanding."

"You come here unannounced on the day my daughter is to be married."

"How the fuck can you screw up this much Nick?!" I shouted in my head.

"Well, actually, we were brought here against our will, so…Point is, I did not know that it was your car, and I certainly did not know about your daughter's wedding!" He explained desperately.

"So you damaged his car and blame the polar bears for bringing you here. You are done for, better start getting the equipment."

"I trusted you, Nicky. I welcomed you into my home. We broke bread together. Grandmama made you a cannoli. And how did you repay my generosity? With a rug made from the butt of a skunk. A skunk-butt rug."

"I'm not even sure if I should rescue you now, Nicky."

"You disrespected me. You disrespected my grandmama, who I buried in that skunk-butt rug. I told you never to show your face here again, but here you are. Snooping around with this...What are you? A performer? What's with the costume?"

"Sir, I am a co-" right when the bunny was to reveal who she was, Nick cut her off placing a paw in front of her.

"Mime! She's a mime. This mime can not speak. You can't speak if you're a mime."

"How is anyone going to believe you, she doesn't have the make up."

"No, I am a cop." she declares taking away Nick's paw "And I'm on the Emmitt Otterton case. And my evidence puts him in your car! So intimidate me all you want, I'm going to find out what you did to that otter if it's the last thing I do."

"Now you've really done it." I whisper to myself, I look around the window and spot an entrance on the other side, I crawl my way there while the rat answers.

"Hmm. Then I have only one request. Say hello to Grandmama. Ice 'em!" A trap door opens as the polar bears grab the three of them, and yet Nick pleads.

"No, no, no. I didn't see nothing! I'm not saying nothing! And you never will. Please! No, no, no, no! If you're mad at me about the rug, I've got more rugs!" By then the window was wide open for my entrance and I was ready to aim at the polar bears holding them, but then a voice diverts my attention.

"Daddy! It's time for our dance! Ah! What did we say? No icing anyone at my wedding!"

"Oh geez, and for a moment I thought I would have to fight the 5 polar bears at the same time"

"I have to, baby, daddy has to. Ice 'em." answers the rat.

"Maybe I will." I think regaining concentration.

"No, no, no! Wait, wait!" cries the rat's daughter commanding the polar bears to stop. "She's the bunny that saved my life yesterday! From that giant donut!"

"Thank God." I whisper with a sigh, then I see a polar bear turning my direction and I immediately hide from his sight, but still able to look and hear the situation.

"This bunny?" asked the rat

"Yeah. Hi!"

"Hi. I love your dress." answers the bunny.

"Oh. Thank you."

"Put them down." he orders "You've done me a great service. I will help you find the otter. I will take your kindness, and pay it forward." With that final word I calm down all the tense muscles i didn't notice I had feeling so calm, everyone in the room left leaving me watching an empty room. I crawl to the entrance part of the roof hoping to see the others there, and I did, they left the front entrance and went to the area that appeared to have a party. This was bad news because there was no way I could possibly get through all of them and follow them.

I gave myself a minute of thought and decided to do the following: I would go back with Flash and wait in the car for them to come out of the mansion, after all they did mention something about a missing otter and the bunny did look like a cop. So I do suppose that they won't stay for long, after they go out I will follow them, well Flash will, but keeping our distance. I think it would be wiser to follow them instead of just go directly with them, because I doubt that Todd would stay with them without playing a major role in the investigation. And of course I couldn't help because if they saw me, thing would go terribly, with that said I got down the roof, got through the maze and climbed the shed, jump over the wall and land in the, luckily, soft snow.

I noticed Flash was still waiting in the car, the good man, he might be annoying but not many would do what I asked him to do. "Hey...you're back...where are...the others?"

"Don't worry," I told him as I entered the car "they will be going out through that entrance shortly, and we will follow them quietly, understood?"

"Yes...of course." he answered. We waited for a couple minutes and finally a car left the mansion.

"That's the one, follow it." Flash did as I told him, and we tailed the black car getting out of Tundra Town and into a place that Flash recognized as the Rain Forest district. We continued behind the black car until it stopped at a dead end, from there the bunny, Nick, and Todd got out and began to walk. "Flash, thanks for the ride, but I suppose that the rest will be up to me."

"Alright...but remember...to save Nick."

"Don't worry," I say as I follow them "he will be back alive." "With a purple eye that is." I followed the three of them from afar, after all they had super hearing and there was supposedly no one around.

(Present time, Rain Forest district, P.O.V. Todd)

"Hey Judy." I called

"Yes Todd?"

"So I've barely heard of this case, the only thing I know is that there are ten missing predators in three months, each disappearing every five days." I say counting the numbers in my fingers.

"What's your point?" she asked before stopping and standing in front of me.

"Well, if that is true, then one more disappearance might happen today, and since there are no witnesses except for the one we are about to visit-"

"Sweet cheese and crackers!" she shouts surely knowing my point, Judy grabbed me by the arm and pulled me with her as she ran towards the location that Mr. Big had given us. Nick followed behind asking us why we were running, but nevertheless, we got to the house of Mr. Manchas.

Judy knocked on the door softly not trying to induce panic at first encounter a mumble was heard inside and then a voice calling out "I'm coming, i'm coming." The door slightly opened revealing an eye looking out the door.

"Mr. Manchas? Judy Hopps, ZPD. We just wanna know what happened to Emmett Otterton." asked Judy.

"You should be asking what happened to me." He answered revealing his other eye covered with a scar of claw marks.

"Whoa. A teensy otter did that?" asked Nick

(Present time, Rain Forest district, P.O.V. Forrest)

(I know, short for Todd, but you will see why)

After I heard Nick's commentary I got the feeling that things were about to get messy so I took out a tranquilizer gun and waited to see how things rolled out. "What happened?" asked the bunny.

"He was an animal. Down on all fours. He was a savage! There was no warning. He just kept yelling about the Night Howlers. Over and over, the Night Howlers! So you know about the Night Howlers too?" They all nodded "Good, good. Because the Night Howlers are exactly what we are here to talk about. Right?"

"Yes, so you just open the door and tell us what you know, and we will tell you what we know. Okay?" said the bunny.

"Okay." answered the guy called Mr. Manchas. "Who came up with that name?" I thought to myself. Then I turned my attention elsewhere to check for any other animals that might see me, then I notice a sheep pointing a gun at the house where Mr. Manchas was and he shot. Then I hear a grunt coming from inside, the others do as well, and the bunny opens the door slowly before she starts to run telling Nick and Todd to run with her. Shortly after they do and Mr. Manchas, who just had to be a panther, jumped out of the house and started to chase them.

I quickly get out of my spot and shoot the sheep that I saw provoke the panther, with the tranquilizer, then I reload and give chase to Mr. Manchas. By the point that I am at the beginning of the bridge I notice that I will never be able to catch up to him so I try to shoot at him. But his constant movement caused the strings to act as a whip knocking the tranquilizer out of my hand. I take out the second one but then he jumps off the bridge. I see where he landed and immediately do the same, at first it hurt since I landed in my face, but I push the pain to the back of my head and continue running towards him.

I finally have a clear visual of him and then I hear the bunny shout "To the sky-line, quick!" and the panther yet again is out of my sight. I run to where he used to be when I last saw him noticing they all went down hill and are headed for the mentioned sky-line. I predict the panthers movements and I miss right before the bunny avoids his attack. I quickly run towards the situation and while I do that the panther is about to jump in attack against Todd and Nick but the bunny successfully managed to chain it to a pole. Nick and Todd surround him trying to get to the other side but it still makes an effort to get Nick making him bump into Todd, and into Judy, ending in the three hanging onto a vine as they swing from side to side.

At the moment that they all fell I made my way to be right in the panther's sight and range, foolish for me I was actually more attentive for Todd than myself so I ended up with a scratch through my chest. "Augh!" I yell, and as an automatic reaction I jump upon the panther trying to beat him up, don't ask me why I did that because I don't know myself. I give him a couple punches in the jaw but then he bites my left arm making me scream even louder as I try to open his jaw. I also hear voices from the others saying things like. "Forrest! What are you doing here!" or "That's your friend?!" and "Didn't he have a wheelchair?"

Then I suddenly hear them all scream and I turn to them shouting "NO!" but the very second after that I hear a car stop and my body is thrown to the side like some old piece of trash. I grunt a bit as I get myself up, to notice that the panther has been caught by a net and is currently being taken to a vehicle by a figure. Then another figure was approaching to me with an object that seemed like a gun, weakened by the attack of the panther the only thing I could is pass out.

(A while ago, Rain Forset district sky-line, P.O.V. Todd)

"Buddy, one predator to another. Now I can tell you're a little tense, so I'm just gonna give you a little personal space!" Said Nick as we tried to surround Mr. Manchas to get to judy but Nick got scared by the panthers attack so he pushed me and Judy of the edge. Lucky for us Judy grabbed a vine to hold onto while Nick grabbed on her and I grabbed on Nick. "Rabbit, whatever you do, do not let go!"

"I'm gonna let go!" she told us.

"What?!" We both screamed.

"One, two, three!" with the swing of the vine we went flying in the air and landed into some vines giving us a view to the panther who was now fighting... "Forrest! What are you doing here!"

"Didn't he have a wheelchair?" asked Nick

"That's your friend?!" shouted Judy, but then the vines broke and we fell into various leaves softening our fall just to get wrapped up in more vines.

"Well, this should be good." said a buffalo in police uniform in front of many other cops as we got liberated.

The moment I was set free I grabbed Nick's arm and told him "Nick, we gotta hurry, Forrest is still up there remember!"

"Oh geez you're right." he said in a quiet voice.

"What is all this talking about?" asked Judy as she got herself off the vines

"Forrest is still up there!" I snapped as I ran trying to find my way up there.

"Todd!" screamed Nick as he followed me.

I just got to a path that lead up and used it, it was taking me long and I was very tired of all this traveling non-stop. But once I made it to the top I saw no one there, Mr. Manchas was gone, Forrest was gone, and only gashes of blood were left. "Todd! There you are, you can't just run off like that." Called Nick I just stood there silent not a word came out of my mouth, just my sight fixed upon Forrest's blood. Once Nick noticed this he just grabbed me lightly by the shoulder slowly pulling me into a hug to comfort me. I just cried, tears just dripped from my eyes down my face and falling into Nick's shirt. Forrset has been kidnapped.
