Chapter 5
With Rita, she had just woken up, and she didn't know where she was. It looked like she was in an old office, luckily, she saw Ronnie and grabbed her. Holding her tightly, she began looking around. There was a window, but it was boarded up from the outside.
But there was a small opening, and so she peaked out. She saw that she was in Tundratown, she knew where she was now she just needed to find a way to get a hold of Nick and Judy. She tried to open the door, but it was locked from the outside.
"There must be a phone in here somewhere." she said to herself.
She looked around the room, and found an old phone that still worked. At the police station, Nick and Judy had just tracked down the Ford that had been following Rita.
"Okay, the car belongs to Bruno Iceburn, a polar bear with a history of robbery, hacking, and fraud." Judy read on her computer.
"Sounds like a good candidate." replied Nick.
Then Judy's cell phone rang.
"Officer Hopps."
"Officer Hopps?" asked Rita.
"Rita, where are you?"
"I'm an abandoned building in Tundratown."
Nick then grabbed the phone.
"Sweetie, can you tell us what's around the building?" he asked.
Rita went back over the window and peaked out.
"There's a restaurant, and a couple of clothes stores."
But before anyone else could say anything, the door started to open.
"Someone's coming, hurry." Rita whispered, and hung up the phone.
"We got to get to Tundratown." declared Nick.
They called all the units, and they hurried to Tundratown.
"Let me go!" shouted Rita, as Shane dragged her by the arm out of the room.
He took her down the hall where the others were. There were computers and new equipment in it, and he sat her down in a chair. She held Ronnie tightly.
"Now, Rita we don't want to hurt you." said Bruno.
"Let me go."
"We will, but first we need to see your doll."
"No!"
"Just give us the doll." ordered Derek, trying to take the doll away.
"NO!"
And Rita kicked him.
"Ow, you rotten little..."
He pulled out his elephant tranquilizer.
"Derek, put that away." huffed Frank firmly.
"Derek, Shane grab her." Bruno instructed.
The two held her down, while Frank got the doll.
"Give me back my doll, my daddy gave it to me." Rita pleaded crying.
"Yes he did."
He tore it open, and a silver flash drive fell into his paw.
"Finally after five years, I've got it."
The cops had just arrived in Tundratown, and found the abandoned building. With their vests on, and weapons ready, they raided the building. They checked in the rooms, and said clear.
"Listen." whispered Nick.
They heard voices coming from above.
"Upstairs." added Judy, and officers went upstairs.
Bruno plugged the flash drive into the computers, and up popped all the information.
"We've got it."
"What do we do with the girl?" wondered Frank.
"Do whatever you want, she's useless to us now."
Just as the goons were about to touch her, the police came bursting through the door.
"Freeze, ZPD!" Shouted Judy.
The four pulled out their tranquilizers, and they all started shooting at each other.
"Get the girl." Chief Bogo told Nick.
With the others covering him, Nick got to Rita.
"Rita, come with me, and keep your head down." advised Nick picking the girl up with one arm.
Rita clung on to Nick for dear life, as he got her out of there. The ZPD managed to get the goons down, and they arrested them. Judy retrieved the flash drive, and saw Ronnie lying on the floor with her back ripped open.
As she picked her up, she saw a note sticking out of the doll. Paramedics arrived, and they took the injured and Rita to the hospital, Judy and Nick rode with her. At the hospital Nick and Judy waited in the waited room to hear about Rita's condition, they had already called Mrs. Maxwell to tell her where she was and what had happened.
"That poor kid, I can't believe her own dad would put her in danger like that." Said Nick.
"Well that may have not been the goal." Judy told him.
"What do you mean?"
"Is there something about this case I should know about, Hopps?" wondered Chief Bogo, walking up to them.
"I found this note in the doll, it was written by Roger Jensen." Judy explained, as she held the note.
"What does it say?"
"Dear Officers, if you're reading this note I assume you found the flash drive. I admit I was stealing the information, but it isn't what you think. Bruno and his crew threatened to hurt Rita if I didn't do it for them. I didn't want to do it, but I had to think of my daughter. I slipped them a blank flash drive and hid the real one in the last place they'd ever expect to look for it, in the my daughter's doll. I'm sorry for what I did, but I only did because I love Rita dearly. Sincerely, Roger Jensen." Judy read.
"So he was just trying to protect her all along." said Chief Bogo.
"Officers, Hopps and Wilde?" called a doctor.
The two stood up.
"Rita's going to be just fine, some minor stuff, but I'd like to keep her over night just to be on the safe side."
"That's okay, Mrs. Maxwell, the woman who looks after will be here soon." Nick told him.
"Can we see her?" questioned Judy.
The doctor nodded. The two went to her room, and saw she was lying in bed with an IV attached to her.
"Hey, Rita." greeted Nick quietly.
"How you doing?" asked Judy.
"Tired." answered Rita groggily.
"Well don't worry, sweet cheeks, those bad animals who hurt you, are going away for a long time." Nick told her.
Rita smiled. Outside, Mrs. Maxwell had just arrived.
"Is she okay?" she asked.
"Don't worry, she's fine, the doctors just want to keep her here overnight for observation." Judy explained.
"And the animals who were after her?"
"Going to jail." answered Nick.
"Thank you so much." replied Mrs. Maxwell, gratefully.
"Our pleasure, Mrs. Maxwell." said Judy.
And with that, Mrs. Maxwell went into Rita's room.
"I'm glad we were able to help her, but I hope she finds a family." she mentioned.
Then Nick and Judy gave each other a clever look.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" he asked.
"Oh yeah." she said.
They went back to the police station, and told Chief Bogo that they were going to need a day off next month.
