Nick sped back to the precinct. He pulled the car to a stop and sprinted into the lobby. Other officers stared in disbelief as Nick bolted toward Chief Bogo's office. He didn't even think about knocking when he threw the door open.
"Wilde!? What's the meaning of this?" the Chief growled as Nick came to a stop in front of his desk.
"First off, I told you so," Nick said as he tried to catch his breath. He held up Judy's note. "But we've got a problem."
Judy tossed the duffle bag on the ground at Bellwether's feet. The small sheep stepped forward to examine it.
"Relax, everything you wanted is in there," Judy said as she checked to see if anyone was coming. "Just put those clothes on over the uniform, it'll be easier to get you out that way."
"Well, you're a smart one aren't you?" Bellwether smirked as she threw the plain-colored clothes over the burnt orange prison uniform.
"We don't have much time," Judy said. "Hurry up." Judy said, making no effort to disguise the irritability in her voice. Bellwether finished dressing and looked through the now-empty duffle bag.
"Hey, where's the phone?" she said as she threw the bag to the side. Judy drew the phone from her pocket and held it up. Bellwether lunged for the phone, but Judy was quicker in pulling it out of the way.
"Promise me," Judy said. "Promise me they'll be safe."
"I promise, just give me the phone!" Bellwether demanded. Judy consented and the two started to make their getaway. Judy led Bellwether to the metal detector where the two guards remained unconscious.
"Wow, didn't know you had it in you, Judy," Bellwether commented as they walked past. Judy elected to ignore her as she led the sheep to a side entrance. They probably only had seconds left to escape and Judy was surprised an alarm hadn't been set off already.
The two made it to Judy's car and Judy used the key to open the trunk of the vehicle.
"No way. I'm not getting in there," Bellwether said.
"Do you want to get out of here?" Judy countered. "Get in the trunk." Bellwether agreed with a sigh. Judy then moved to the driver's door and started the car. Now would come the moment of truth. She pulled the car to the gate, eyeing the security guard. Judy had one last tranquilizer dart ready to go if the guard tried to stop her.
Luckily, the guard let Judy pass with no hesitation. As they drove away from the prison, Judy felt her heartbeat, which she hadn't realized was pounding out of control begin to slow down. She had actually done it.
Judy drove for several hours, far enough to be outside of the radius of the police roadblocks that were sure to go up once Bellwether was discovered missing. Sure enough, about thirty minutes after Judy left the prison, a call went over the police scanner alerting the ZPD that there was an escape from Zootopia Correctional Facility.
Once Judy was in an area she knew the police wouldn't search for several more hours, she pulled off to the side of the road. Getting out of the car, Judy moved to the trunk.
"You couldn't have tried to miss just one of those potholes, huh?" Bellwether asked once the trunk was opened.
"Oh, I'm sorry if your comfort wasn't my top priority," Judy shot back sarcastically. "Now you're free. I held up my end of the bargain. Now hold up yours." Bellwether pulled the phone from her pocket and dialed a number. The sheep then put the phone to her ear and listened for several seconds.
"Yeah, it's done. I'm out," she said to the animal on the other side of the phone. She then lowered the phone and looked at Judy. "Where are we?"
"Route 460, about 200 miles north of the city," Judy replied.
"Route 460, about 200 miles north of the city," Bellwether said in a quiet voice before hanging up the phone. "There, you happy?" she said to Judy.
"Not exactly. Can I leave now?" Judy said. "You don't need me anymore."
"If you leave now," Bellwether said as she held the phone up. "I make one call and it undoes everything you've done so far. I'm not done with you yet."
"What else could I possible do for you?" Judy asked. "I already ruined my life for you, Dawn!" Judy could feel rage start to boil inside her, but as long a Bellwether had that phone in her possession, Judy knew there wasn't much she could do. In her mental and physical state, Judy wasn't totally sure she could overpower the diminutive sheep. She couldn't take on the guards without...
The tranquilizer darts.
Judy had one left, but it was still in the car. Her brain started to race to figure out how to get to the gun without Bellwether noticing. She then noticed Bellwether was talking.
"Hey, are you listening?" the sheep's voice snapped Judy out of her thoughts. She suddenly realized she wasn't even looking at Bellwether anymore, she was looking at the car. Bellwether followed Judy's gaze.
"What are you...?" Bellwether said as she started moving toward the driver's side door of the police cruiser. She opened the door and noticed the dart gun sitting on the passenger seat. "Well, well, well. You wouldn't have been planning on using this by any chance?"
Judy was just about to respond when saw a vehicle approaching in the distance.
