Hello there my fellow readers, reviewers, and followers, I have a sad announcement to make. As you know, the chapter have been appearing about 2 times per week and now that school is starting for me I think the most I will be able to make is one per week. I'll try to step it up if i can, but I can make no promises.

Also, sorry for the mistake, there were actually 14 missing mammals not 10. Whoop! Anyway, enjoy! : )

"He was right here! Sir, I know what I saw. He almost killed us!" said Judy defensively as Nick still tried to calm me down behind the officers.

"Or maybe any aggressive predator looks savage to rabbits? Let's go!" said the bull in police uniform.

"Wait! Sir! I'm not the only one who saw him." She said pointing to Nick

"You think I'm gonna believe a fox?" he asked a bit angry.

'Well, he was a key witness, and I-" but before she could continue she was interrupted by the bull

"Two days to find the otter, or you quit. That was the deal. Badge." He said extending his arm

"But, sir, we had-" and yet again she was interrupted

"Badge!" Repeated the buffalo as Judy took a scared step back.

This argument had already made me boil with anger from the moment he questioned on believing a fox, I just couldn't keep it in anymore. "Enough!" I shouted

"What did you say fox?" questioned the bull

"I said enough!" I spat back walking towards him "Deal or not, Judy has been the closest of all your cops to get even a clue of what's going on or who has done the kidnappings!"

"Step away from this, it is nothing of your concern." He says.

"It is! I know you are being unjust with her, your little deal shows it completely! You only do it because she is not strong and big like all the others, but guess what, you need brains as well, something you seem to lack!"

My comment might not have been the brightest one I've ever had, I could see that the bull wanted to kill me, but before he did Nick stepped in. "I think what he is trying to say is that we technically still have ten hours left to solve the case. So if you don't mind," he said pushing both me and Judy to a sky-line "we have an otter to find." Nick closed the door and the sky-line took of taking us away.

"Thank you," started Judy "both of you, no one has ever stood up for me like that or at all."

"No need to thank us Carrots, I just can't stand it when others discriminate the 'inferior'. Just don't let them know that they get to you."

"So...things do get to you?" she asked joining Nick as he supported his weight on the bar.

"I mean not, not anymore. But I was small that's true. I think I was 8, maybe 9...And all I wanted to do was join the Junior Ranger Scouts. So my mom scraped together enough money to buy me a brand new uniform. Because, I was gonna fit in. Even if I was the only predator in the troop, the only fox. I was gonna be part of a pack. I...was rejected, the others did not have the intention of having a fox with them, so they…they...placed a…" I noticed the closer he got to that word the more he began to show tears.

"It's okay, you don't have to say it." Said Judy trying to calm him down.

"I learned two things that day. One: I was never gonna let anyone see that they got to me. And two? If the world's only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy... There's no point in trying to be anything else."

"Nick you are so much more than that." I said.

"Boy, look at that traffic down there." He says trying to change the subject. "How about we go up to Chuck in traffic central? Chuck, how are things looking on the jam cams?"

"The jam cams…" Judy whispers.

"Now what are you two up to? I need a report from Chuck here." he said playfully

"No, there traffic cameras everywhere, whatever must've happened to Mr. Manchas and your friend-"

"Must've been caught by the security cameras!" I interrupted.

"However, if you didn't have access to the system before, I doubt chief Buffalo Butt is gonna let you into it now." said Nick

"No, but I have a friend in city hall that could help us. Let's go!" *Grumble* we all look at my stomach, and we get the idea of that expression. "I guess we can go for some breakfast first."

(IHOPP, 20 minutes later)

We all took our seats and grabbed the menu for our selection, except for Nick "Aren't you going to choose something?" I asked

"I always choose the same." he replied

The waiter came by and we chose our options, I chose the same normal Paw Pancakes, Nick chose blueberry Paw Pancakes, and Judy chose Carrot Paw Pancakes. A very strange menu if you ask me. Yet I suddenly remembered that I haven't gone to the bathroom in a whole day so I said, "I'll be going to the bathroom." and they just nodded.

(IHOPP, 15 seconds later, P.O.V. Judy)

"Hey Nick." I called.

"What's up?" he answered with his mouth filled with water.

"Could I ask you about this friend of yours?"

Nick gulped his water almost to the point of having to cough it out. "I do not know anything about him, just small things."

"Could you list them to me?" she said pulling out her notebook and carrot pen.

"Well," he started "the small things that I mentioned are only what he is not. He refuses to tell me what kind of mammal he is, and for some reason was using a wheelchair although he didn't need it. I even tried to take off his hood to find out but he grabbed my arm and crushed it like paper. He also claims to have a birth defect to explain why he has five fingers." I jotted down all his points and then analysed them.

"Do you think he might be some kind of master criminal?" I wondered

"Nope, no master criminal would have that big of a heart for anyone, he cares about Todd above all else. At least that's what I can say from the time I've known him."

"Which is?"

"One day and a morning, but I am good at reading other mammals, but since he is under that hood all the time I cannot read him."

"I guess that all that we can do now is ask Todd his part, I just wanted to know yours before." I said looking at Todd approach the table.

"Bad idea Carrots, you are just going to have him get another emotional breakdown, so don't ask him." He said whispering.

"Not tell me what?" asked Todd taking a seat at the table.

(P.O.V. Todd)

"Well, I just was asking Nick about your friend." said Judy

I give a cold stare at him but he answers by placing his paws in surrender and saying. "Remember I know almost nothing about him."

"I just wanted to get to know him more, after all, if we are going to rescue him I need to know how he looks."

I sigh and support my head with my arm on the table. "I suppose you are still going to see him once we rescue him, it would be better if you do not shoot him because of his appearance."

"Wow, can't believe someone could be that ugly." says Nick with a slight smirk which I ignore

"No, not ugly, more like different." I confess

"Explain." demands Judy.

"He...he…" I try to say gathering words as Judy and Nick look at me attentively. "is a human." I finally say.

"Come on kid, we need an actual animal, no more making up stories." says Nick a bit unimpressed.

"But that's the truth, he is a human."

"How exactly do you spell that?"

"H-U-M-A-N."

"A-N," repeated Judy as she wrote in her notebook. "So what brings him here?"

"Um...we did not come here for any reason, we just woke up here."

"Excuse me, what do you mean with we?" asked Nick.

"We came from another world, and I don't believe we are ever getting back." Judy gave me a face of 'What the hell?' and Nick his classic of 'I don't believe you'.

"So you are in another disguise." stated Nick

"No, I am really a fox."

"Let's forget about that topic and focus on the more important stuff." said Judy catching our attention "Do you remember anything prior to that?" she asked as Nick drank a sip from his cup.

"I do remember that we were in his car on the way back to our farm, but then we crashed, then we woke up here."

"You expect me to believe that you just somehow woke up after crashing? That is not how afterlife works." claims Nick.

"Ugh, if you guys are not going to believe me let's just get out of here and find Forrest so that he can tell you guys."

"Fo-rrest." repeated Judy writing down his name on the notebook.

The food arrived and they all just began eating their food calmly, just as Judy was about to ask another question I said. "I'll see you guys back at the car."

"Aren't you going to eat your pancakes?" Judy calls from her seat.

"I'm not hungry." I shout back, I sure was hungry but I knew that if someone kidnapped Forrest, who knows what they have already done to him, after all, Judy as a cop is asking questions, what would a scientist do?

(2:35 pm, Cliffside Asylum, P.O.V. Forrest)

I woke up in some kind of dark place where I could only see myself in the eternal void, I tried to ask if there was anyone around, but my voice was muted. A light turned on behind me, revealing a blanket over a chair, the blanket seemed to cover a strange shape, I approached the chair and took off the blanket. It was Todd, at first I jump back scared, he seemed beaten up and stabbed, his eyes poked out, and blood everywhere. I panic at first, then I stand up and look at the dead corpse, Todd lifts his face and looks in my direction saying. "You could have saved me."

"Saved you from what?" I ask shakingly. A wall appears behind me and surrounds us both trapping us in a grey wall, then the chair turns into a hospital bed, and although Todd's wounds heal he still lies there lifeless. I hear the beeps of the heart monitor as the room seems to take the shape of a hospital and doctors appear. I get closer and sit down beside his bed, I grab his paw and hold it lightly, I watch him sleep making my heart beat as fast as he breaths.

A doctor approaches to me and tells me as he places a paw in my shoulder. "I think you should leave, he will wake up soon."

"Why would that be bad?" I ask before turning around and noticing everyone is gone, I hear a growl coming from Todd's direction. I turn my attention to him as he makes some small movements before widely opening his eyes. He jumps out of the bed and into the opposite side of the bed from where I was, I hear him growl louder and louder. I walk to the other side of the bed and try to take a peek on what was happening to him but he jumps on top of me digging his claws upon my chest. I quickly swat his claws off and send him flying a small distance, I try to gain my balance as I watch him jump at me again. This time I grab him and ask him. "What are you doing Todd?!" He then bites me in the arm and I throw him off. This last time he stays in the ground and looks up to me in a worried and scared face, he was back to his normal self but I wasn't. I take a few steps towards him as he crawls his back to a wall,

"Forrest, you have to fight it, this is not you."

Then words come out of my mouth without my command "Sorry, but no one can stop this." Then I start to punch him continuously not letting him have a single breath of break until he moved no more.

His last words were "You could have stopped this from happening, but you just do things for your own sake. All lights disappear and a red spotlight shines on his dead body, then two other red spot lights show a bit farther from me showing the ripped off body of the bunny cop from earlier and the bitten corpse of Nick.

Then I woke up with cold sweat covering me all over, I sit up straight finding myself inside a hospital like room. "Holy, shit, good thing it was just a dream." It did not look like the one of my dream though, and apparently my shirt and jacket were taken away, at the same time my scars from the battle with the panther were covered in bandages and did not feel painful at all. The room was filled with equipment like you would see in the movies except that there were no doctors present. Noticing I still have my shoes and socks on I walk towards the door and try to open it, locked.

I look around the room and find some tubes filled with blood beside the bed I woke up in, I figured I did not want to get more taken from me so I looked around for an exit. "The vent, casual and chlise escape path, but I won't fit there. No windows or other doors, the floor is made of rock, that leaves me with one option." I look upwards at the ceiling noticing a recognizable design of the roof. "Bingo." I say.

I stand on top of the bed and push upward one of the squares in the ceiling creating a pathway for me. It was hard at first but eventually I had myself in between floors, I place the square back in it's place and like nothing happened. I crawl through the ceiling trying to be as quiet as possible as well as swinging my hand from side to side so that I don't bump into anything.

Then I hear a door open below me and something drop, I hear some fast traveling footsteps and then a damned fucking alarm in the ear, apparently I was very close to one of the sirens. Then a voice came on "Attention all guards, the creature has escaped, set all guns from harming shocks to knockdown shocks. Do not travel through the building alone, the creatures skills are not yet known."

Once the announcement and sires were out a red light seemed to somewhat be glowing through the cracks of the roof, giving me some light to be able to know my surroundings. I kept crawling through the roof noticing that the pathway that I could go through seemed to be like those side maps in games: Rectangles for the hallways and big squares for each rooms. I tried to find my way to an exit but I was having little success, then by trying to hold onto a pipe, I broke it making a loud sound able to be heard from below me. "Oh shit I knew I should have gone right." said a terrified voice.

As I instantly came up with a plan, I threw a piece of the broken pipe to a side far away from me causing a clicking sound and the voice say "I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" I lift a square piece of the roof and watch as a wolf guard is alone looking in the direction from the pipe impact getting closer to it. I throw another piece as I drop down from the roof making my landing unnoticeable to him. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" I creep behind him and just as I'm about to get to him my knee makes a cracking sound causing the guard to jump in fear and drop his handgun while also shouting like a little girl.

I quickly dash and slide to get the handgun from the floor as he tries to run away, luckily I shoot him before he said another word. "I heard something over there!" I made a run for it as I quickly tried to reload the gun I just took which seemed to be like the ones that the polar bears had, but instead the intensity of the shock could be altered. As I made my turn I got my back to the wall and catched my breath. I looked around for a way back to the ceiling and beside me I found the janitor's closet, I quietly opened the door and closed it trying not to draw any attention. Once I closed the door I looked around for a way up, and saw those typical wheel tables filled with cleaning supplies. I used it to climb up and continue on my search out of this place.

(4:47 pm, City Hall, P.O.V. Todd)

"I really do not know why this wasn't your first option of a place." I said

"She is the Assistance Mayor, she could be anywhere, so I thought she would be in those other places we went to." she defended.

"Or right in front of us." said Nick pointing at a sheep of roughly about me and Judy's size trying to pick up some papers.

"Assistant Mayor Bellwether, we need your help." says Judy helping her pick up.

"Sure," she answered in a happy tone with a smile that seemed fake "follow me to my office."

After a short couple of seconds of walking we found ourselves inside what seemed a janitor's closet. Surprisingly enough her office was that janitor's closet, and it was as hell cramped inside of there. "We just need to get into the traffic cam database." said Judy.

Nick looked at the wool of the sheep and touched it whispering "So fluffy."

"Hey!" Whispered Judy caught by Nick's actions.

"Sheep never let me get this close!"

"I can see why." I tell Nick as I grab his arm away from the Assistant Mayor.

"Where to?" asked the sheep turning to Judy

"Rain Forest district." answered Judy, the sheep made a couple of clicks on the computer making a map of the district appear on the screen. I trailed off looking for a place that seemed to be like where we last saw Forrest, I did not find anything at all but then my thoughts and search were interrupted by a radio seeming sound saying.

"While we are young, Smellwheather." causing the sheep to leave the room.

"You think she counts herself to sleep."

"What?" I say "If she counts herself she would be counting one repeatedly."

"Tujunga...Tujunga...found it!" A video take appeared on the screen showing us fall from the vines as we last saw Forrest, while he is thrown off by Mr. Manchas and a van stops in the left side of the screen. Out of the van come out two wolves and point their guns at the panther shooting a net at him as Forrest seems to pass out. One of the wolves takes the panther while the other on takes a look at Forrest and says something to the other wolf, after some talking they take Forrest with them and go away. "Wow, can't believe how beaten up he got from trying to help us." said Judy.

"I still don't get why he had that wheelchair."

"Well, in his hind paws, which he calls feet, he has a protective gear he calls shoes something neither of us have but let's them walk in any terrain they want too, sometimes even fire. So we decide to cover it with a blanket in the wheelchair so no one would notice." Nick and Judy exchanged looks and then went back to the task at hand after I snapped my fingers in front of their eyes.

"Right," began Judy "Let's see where these guys went." she made a few clicks following the path that the van took until they did not appear. "Where did they go?"

"You know," said Nick taking control of the computer. "if I wanted to avoid surveillance because I was doing something illegal, which I never have, I would use the maintenance tunnel 6B. Which would put them out… right there." The van appeared going through the 6B tunnel and out another exit.

"Well, look at you, junior detective. You know, I think you'd actually make a pretty good cop." commented Judy.

"Eh. How dare you." says Nick sarcastically appreciating the compliment.

"Guys, the van, please?" I said in an impatient tone.

"Oh yeah, focus on what we got. South canyon. They're heading out of town."

"Where does that road go?" I ask.

"Well, let's find out." says Judy as she starts to head out of the office.

"Please let Nick drive this time." I plead.

"Don't worry, it won't take us long, and besides since it's a cop car, only cops can drive it."

"Well, I'm a junior detective."

"Junior, it means you are not allowed to drive."

"Geez, you are more savage than Mr. Manchas." says Nick, as Judy grunts and leads us back to the car.

(7:30 pm, Cliffside Asylum)

We arrived recently at the ending location of the van only to find a single wolf guarding the entrance to the building past him. Judy makes some kind of sign language that I barely understand and so I play my part, I throw a rock at the wolf. The wolf tries to dodge the rock but fails by little, while he grabs his nose Nick and Judy tackle his head into the road making him pass out. "Good thing there was only one." We run through the bridge that leads to the building standing on the cliff beside a waterfall and get inside the buildings entrance.

We slowly made our way around the first floor and found nothing, then we went to the second floor and things started to get tricky, apparently wolfs were patrolling the area in trios. We made our way past them and entered a room where we found something peculiar. "This place looks like a hospital, and the equipment seems brand new."

"Carrots," called out Nick "Look at these claw marks." he says pointing at some huge claw marks inside a cage.

Judy and I approach the glass cell and take a look at what Nick was referring to. "Yeah, huge, huge claw marks." comments Judy "What kind of-AAH!" Her dialogue was cut short by a tiger with no cloths jumping to window looking dead at us. Then a smack is heard behind us, a piece of the ceiling has fallen behind us which did make us jump again in fear. Then down came none other than Forrest.

"Forrest!" I scream as I run to him to give him a hug of glee, he takes a knee down and hugs me tightly. "Too...tight" I manage to say, he releases me and apologizes, then he looks at Nick with a bit of an angry face.

(P.O.V. Forrest)

"Hey, Forrest," says Nick a bit sheepishly as if he were to pee his pants "how you've been?"

"Oh fine," I begin sarcastically "I just had to travel all around looking for you in a city I don't know anything about just to find you in a mansion about to get frozen in the ice, and being attacked by a panther, which bit my arm and made a scratch throughout my chest, then I am recently trying to escape this place with little success in the past five hours. So how do you think I've been?"

Nick nervously laughed looking in direction of my hand where I had my handgun. "So you are Forrest," said the bunny cop "It is a pleasure to meet you."

"We can present ourselves later, right now we need to get out of here, have you guys come by an exit by any chance?" I ask.

"Actually we have but," said the bunny before stopping and raising her ear before telling all of us to hide. I run and hide behind a wall while the others hide in an empty cell, I hear a door creak and some voices begin to talk.

"Enough! I don't want excuses, doctor, I want answers." Said a strong and stern voice

"Mayor Lionheart, please. We're doing everything we can." Said a small intimidated voice.

"Really? Cause I got a dozen and a half animals here who've gone off the rails crazy, and you can't tell me why. Now I'd call that awfully far from doing everything!"

"Sir, it may be time to consider their biology."

"What? What do you mean 'biology'?"

"The only animals going savage are predators. We cannot keep it a secret. We need to come forward."

"Hm, great idea. Tell the public. And how do you think they're gonna feel about their mayor who is a lion?! I'll be ruined!"

"Well, what does Chief Bogo say?"

"Chief Bogo doesn't know. And we are going to keep it that way."

Then a phone call receive was heard, at first I thought it was from one of the voices but then I heard them saying. "Sir, you need to go. Now. Security, sweep the area."

The a door shuts close and another alarm is heard as heck loud I ran to the cell that used to be open but was now closed. "Great, we're dead. We're dead. That's it. I'm dead. You're dead. Everybody's dead." said Nick paranoid

"Don't worry fox, I'm getting you out of here." I point the handgun at a keyboard in the door of the cell and fire a dart, causing the keyboard to have a short circuit and opening the cell door.

"How did you know that would work?" asked the bunny

"I didn't." I answered as I fully opened the door for them, as soon as they are out and running a door opens behind me and in came 3 wolves with guns pointed directly at me. "Run!" I shout at the others as I raise my hands in surrender and drop the handgun. One of the wolves goes chasing after them while the other two try to get a hold of me, yet at the last second I retrieve my arms from their reach and grab one of the wolves guns and shoot at the other. Then I elbow hit the wolf in the snout causing him to lose the grip of the handgun and I shoot him too. "If I knew I was this good I wouldn't back off from a fight like I used to do."

I take the handgun I used to have and now with two tasers at my disposal I sprint to where the wolf had followed them. It was easy since every wolf seemed to be headed in that direction, I took the chance and shot them when they weren't looking. At last I was at the main entrance and the others were surrounded by two wolves, I quietly but calmly walk towards the two wolves and shoot them once I was in between them. "I think you might want to look back because a whole bunch of them were following us."

"Already took care of them, I am seriously gonna start to charge you guys for my bodyguard services." I say with a chuckle as I leave the building with Todd beside me. "Aren't you guys coming?" I say mockingly noticing that they haven't taken a step outside.

"So, what was your name again? I'm Judy by the way." asked the bunny holding her paw in the air

"Call me Forrest." I answer shaking her paw
