Judy sipped at the coffee that she was holding, carefully holding the Styrofoam cup in one paw as she held her radio in the other. Ever since last night she had been awake and her fatigue was starting to show. The scarlet rogue had not only broken into the corporate headquarters of Santiago's real estate agency, but he had stolen thousands of files which proved that members of his company had been directed to try and put pressure on city hall. The evidence for corruption was abundantly clear, so much so that her search for clues regarding the scarlet rogue had now turned into a search for evidence of corruption. It seemed that given the current situation the district attorney's office was finally willing to cooperate.

What she hadn't counted on though was Santiago releasing a video claiming that in response to the break in, he would schedule the demolition of the Canidae neighborhood to begin tomorrow in earnest. There wasn't much that she could do about that bit of revenge, the puma already owned all the property and was legally allowed to do so, even if he was under investigation. Still, she was happy that at least Santiago's company would bite the dust even if she couldn't reach the puma himself.

Listening as all the reports came in from the various teams, she didn't even notice Santiago coming up behind her. She jumped as he spoke to her.

"Mrs. Wilde. I assume that you have enough evidence now to make an arrest?" Judy sipped her coffee and didn't turn around.

"Nope. It seems that as usual, once they got into the computer systems that they were able to erase most of the security tapes that you had recording. Although the one from your office did show the scarlet Rogue, he still had his mask on and we thus we don't know enough to make an identification. So even if your driver told us that they were two foxes that doesn't help much. Do you know how many foxes there are in Zootopia?"

"I see. Yet your teams seem more interested in collecting evidence against my company and my employees at the moment? Isn't that a bit out of order?" Judy turned to face the puma now, a faint smirk across her face.

"I don't think so. What I think is that there's a particular individual in this city who has been exercising an unlawful amount of control over the city's institutions and that by taking advantage of the situation caused by the scarlet rogue that I am finally able to collect some decent evidence." Santiago was now looking more than a little bit annoyed.

"Interesting. You are putting a greater priority on proving that someone has asked for favors from city hall instead of pursuing a known terrorist who has now broken into not only private buildings but government archives. Mrs. Wilde. If I didn't know better, I would say that you are neglecting your duty as a steward of our fair city." Before Judy could respond her phone went off. It was a call from Nick.

"Hi Carrots, so when are you going to be getting here? The girls' recital is starting in a half hour." Judy looked a little surprised.

"Oh! I almost forgot, thank you Nick! I'll be over right away! Love you, by!" Santiago was now visibly angry.

"I see. The property and safety of a citizen is less valuable than your kits recital." Judy was getting upset now herself.

"No, but I am a mother before I am an officer and I think that the gathering of evidence can take care of itself."

"Oh really! Because so far I have seen you gather evidence twice now and yet you still have come up empty handed when it comes to the scarlet rogue! Furthermore, not only has he stolen thousands of emails and other sensitive documents from our servers, but he has also stolen something of great personal value to me from my office! Tell me, is failure the norm on the ZPD?" Judy was enraged. She balled up her paws and tried to contain her anger. She relaxed a little though as an idea came to mind.

"Fine. If you are so concerned about this terrorist, then I am going to have to put you into protective custody." Motioning to some nearby officers, "Officers, escort Mr. Ramirez back to his apartment. He is to remain there until the threat of the Scarlet Rogue is eliminated for his own good."

"You can't do this! This is vindictive!"

"Sorry citizen, but it's for your own good."

Santiago went quietly as it became clear that he didn't have much of a choice. Judy felt a bit of pride as she realized that she had just beat him at his own game, but she couldn't escape from the fact that there was indeed a terrorist on the loose and that she still needed to find him. Even if she had found herself building up some grudging respect for the criminal. She got out her phone and tried to blink away a tear that came up as she typed.

Sorry Nick, change of plans.
