The ZPD on the inside was a very large building, of course that's expected due to it being a police department... When I got inside, I was shocked at just truly how enormous it truly was. Currently at the front desk was a large cheetah that wore the traditional police uniform.
Once I had gotten to the front desk I said, "Excuse me?"
After saying that, the cheetah looked over to me.
The cheetah than asked with a curious expression, "Oh M Goodness!!! Are you Robin Carter, the Robin Hood specialist that the chief hired?"
"Actually...yes. Can you tell Chief Bogo I'm here?" I asked.
"You got it!" The cheetah said happily.
The cheetah then pressed a button on a nearby microphone as he said repeatedly, "Chief Bogo? Chief? Chief...? Chief? Chief are yo-?"
The cheetah was soon interrupted by a very stern and angered voice ,that even made me jump, as he yelled. "WHAT?!?! WHAT IS IT CLAWHAUSER?!?! WHAT COULD BE SO IMPORTANT TO INTERUPT THE AFTERNOON BRIEFINGS WITH MY OFFICERS?!?!?!!!"
"Oh well, Robin Carter's here! You know the guy that you hired for the case?" The cheetah said merrily.
"Oh...thank you, Clawhauser. Show him to my office, I'll be there soon with the two officers that are on the case as soon as I'm done with briefing." The voice ,now calm, said.
"You got it Chief!" The cheetah said cheerfully as he turned off the microphone.
The cheetah than got up from his seat and ,as he walked out of the front desk area, said cheerfully. "Follow me this way, Robin."
After having walked for what felt like forever, we finally made it to the Chief Bogo's office which was on the third floor. When I walked inside, I saw a desk with a swivel chair behind it with two chairs infront of said desk.
I sat in the chair to the right as Clawhauser said, "The Chief will be here soon, until then you'll just have to wait."
"Ok, Clawhauser. Thanks!" I said to him.
"No problem, Mr Carter!" He said happily as he closed the door.
I shuddered inwardly, it was almost as if he's always known me...
After around twenty minutes of waiting, the door behind me opened to reveal a very big cake buffalo with grey fur. He had light grey fur on his muzzle, a dark grey nose, brown eyes, and beige horns. The buffalo wore a navy blue short sleeved shirt which was high collared and buttoned up with the ZPD insignia on his shoulders, navy blue pants, and a utility belt with various paraphernalia. He also had four stars on both sides of his collared shirt.
"I want you two to wait out here until I call you in, especially you Hopps...no popping in to interject into any of my conversations!" The buffalo said as he stuck his head out the door.
"Don't worry, Buffalo nose. I'm sure she won't with me around..." A slick kinda voice said.
"I mean it, Wilde..." The buffalo said sternly as he shut the door and went to the desk.
After sitting down, he asked me. "Dr. Robin Jameson Carter of the University of Burrow Central City, I presume?"
"Yup, that's me and you must be Chief Bogo. It's pleasure to meet you, Chief." I said as I shook his hoof.
"I can say the same for you, Carter. Also...Carter? How many times do I have to tell you to call me, Chris." The buffalo said.
"Alright, what gave me away?" I asked with a small smile.
"The fact that you used your name and rank as a historian. Then there's also the hat you always wore..." The buffalo said with a smirk.
"You always were Zootopia's greatest detective." I said with a grin.
"That title actually belonged to your father, John Carter. Now he was the greatest detective and an excellent archer as well..." Bogo said with a slight smile as he thought back to when they were partners.
Funny story on how we met, me and Nick had been selling lemonade so we could but my the new Super Bario Bro's for the Super Whintendo when he came to us to get a glass of lemonade. When he saw me, he asked if my name was Robin Carter which I answered yes due to him being Captain in the ZPD. When he said that he not only knew my father, but that I also looked like him I was utterly shocked. After that, I was ecstatic to find out more about my real father. Bogo told me all kinds of stories, though my favorite was when Bogo told me of the time when they pranked their high school teacher with whoopy cushion and never got caught. After a few weeks me and Bogo teamed up to find out what happened to my real Mom and Dad. According to the case file that Bogo had taken, they had disappeared one day without a trace, even the best detectives in the world hadn't found hide or hair of them. But that didn't stop me and Bogo from trying, after moving away from the city me and Bogo decided to keep in contact through letters.
Heck, I remember the day that Bogo sent me the letter that he had become Chief of the ZPD. I was very proud of him, he deserved it due to him being an honest and strict officer.
"Right, so pushing aside our little reunion. What do you need, I'm all ears." I said as twitched my ears in Bogo's direction which made the buffalo chuckle.
"You are way too much like your father, Robin...but back on topic, I hired you because as you know an antique store was robbed. I trust you read the letter I sent?" He asked.
I nodded as I said, "Yup, I did. Though I still confuses me on why they would go after those two items specifically. However I may have a small theory..."
"Enlighten me" Bogo said as he began to listen intently.
"Well, I did some research on other "Robin Hood" artifacts or at least some stuff from that era...and thise aren't the only things that our thief has stolen..." I said as I pulled out a small file and set it on the desk.
"What do you Mean?" Bogo asked with a curious expression as he put on his glasses and started reading the file.
"I mean he's stolen multiple things owned by the historical Prince John. Including armor and clothes worn by his army. I think he may be after anything to do with the Prince. Why? I have no idea...but whenever he robs the place of it's Prince John possessions, he leaves a sentence that says To ye that may read, thi revenge is coming. Thou shall perish, descendent of Robin Hood...he leaves it at every robbery. It's as if he's trying to carry out Prince John's final words from the legend." I said as Bogo finished reading the file.
"Which were?" Bogo asked.
"To kill Robin Hood and any descendents he has." I said grimly.
"If that's true than we had better find out who Robin Hood's descendants are before this maniac can get a chance to kill them. What was Robin Hood's real name in the legend, Robin?" Bogo asked with a serious expression.
"His real name was Jackson Carter and because of this, I guess that you won't have to look too far..." I said, serious as well.
"Why?" Bogo asked with narrowed eyes.
"Because he'll think I'm a descendant of Robin Hood, Chris...since there are no other Carters living in the city, he'll think it's me..." I said grimly as for the first time in his life, Bogo paled.
