Chapter 2
We, were back at Nick's apartment. "Okay, before I tell you what I'm going to say I want you to keep this completely confidential and out of the hands of the press." "Of course" Replied Nick. "Anyway, what is such a big deal, I mean it can't be that bad." Chirped Judy. "Trust me it is." "Okay tell us what it is that is so important." I could see the anxiety the two officers.
How do I tell them, I thought. Should I be cryptic or get straight to the point. I went with the latter. "I'm dead." With that Nick just burst out laughing which earned him a punch courtesy of Judy. "Explain" Elaborated Judy. "Have you ever heard of the multiverse theory?" "The multiverse what" shouted Nick.
"The multiverse theory is the theory that there are a bunch of other universes that are on a similar dimensional plain to ours corresponding to the evolution of species. Some of these universes have contrasting plains with some being very similar and others being an extreme opposite. I used to exist in one of these dimensional planes on a planet called Earth. This planet was ruled by an evolved specie. This specie is unlike anything you see in Zootopia. The specie in question has no fur except for on the top of its head, it can eat both meats and plants and everyone is completely different in looks. This world is very similar as it has the same advancements of technology and engineering however, animals are in what you call a primal state of being. Now to protect these animals from killing one another we have domesticated them so we keep them in our homes with us. We treat them like they're family but sometimes these are neglected. One day on the way home from school one of these neglected dogs targeted me and my group of friends. I had told my friends to scatter so we were less likely to get injured. I happened to be targeted and the Doberman attacked me, mauling me to death in the process. As to how I have ended up here I have no idea. I can only link it to the fact that there was a movie called Zootopia back in the world I lived in. It stared both you and Nick on the nighthowler case. Also, because of this I may know things that you may not want me to know and because of that I will also keep my half confidential. Now can I ask, how long after the nighthowler case are we?"
This question brought the two out of their daze and Judy casually replied "Two years. Now can you tell me more about your former life as well as your likes and dislikes?"
"I live a hard life. I had to deal with prejudice. Bullied from the first day at high school. I had very little in the way of respect. I was an A/A* student and I also excelled in sports at the same time. The only people to ever care for me were my family and my 4 friends. I was bullied for being smarter than everyone else and the one that teachers called Mr Perfect. My peers thought that I didn't care because I never retaliated. I just didn't want to get dragged into more trouble so I instead kept myself to myself and tried to knuckle down and get good grades so I could go to university. I had contemplated suicide but I just told myself it will be worth it, just don't let them get to you, be the better person. I had always wanted to become an architect or a pilot as I loved both flying and designing things and it gave me a new perspective on life. Sorry about lying to you but I had to make up a story."
Nick replied "That's okay. Now we know more about you and the life you lived. You sort of remind me of myself when I was younger. Now can we know your likes and dislikes?"
"Yes of course. I like videogames, football, cricket, basketball, reading and philosophy. I dislike people who judge others before you get to know them and people who are violent and try to act tough for no reason."
"Okay, is that everything?" I nod. "Then you best be on your way. Today is Sunday and school is back in tomorrow so I want to see you there. I will swing by the school with your allowance and you should be registered by the morning. The school is in Savannah Central. I will notify the office if I find a suitable apartment for you. Good day to you." "Goodbye, it was nice speaking to you."
With that I left, looking for a suitable place to stay the night. I found a nice 3 star hotel and paid the receptionist. Luckily everything is cheap here unlike back in the UK I thought. There was also a restaurant and I had plenty of money left over so decide to have a nice meal. Remembering that I was now a carnivore and not a herbivore I ordered a meat feast and gorged myself.
I returned to my room and drifted into a peaceful abyss. Boy how my life has changed in the space of a single day.
