A forty minute train ride later, I arrived in Tundra Town. It was cold, obviously, so it was good that I brought my sweatshirt. I guess having fur also benefitted me. I walked to the location that we were going to meet. The time flew by and by the time I knew it, it was one o' clock. I looked out for Finnick. No sign. Did I just get played? About five minutes of waiting I was approached by a familiar face.
"Ethan, please tell me that's you." They asked in a worried tone.
"Judy? What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"To come and find you. Look I set this up because I need you pronto. I'll explain the whole situation, but right now we need to go to the police station." She motioned for me to get in the cruiser.
"Woah, oh- no! I've already got hassled by one cop today, I'm not getting hassled by his sidekick."
"It's about Nick. You're the only one that can save him."
I looked up. "What are you talking about?"
"Look! Just get in the car and I'll explain."
"Ugh. Fine." I got in the police cruiser and we drove to the police station. One long, terrifying journey later we got there. I've seen some bad drivers, but Judy.
Eek!
We walked into the Police Station, Clawhouser was at the front desk.
"Who we got here hopps?" He asked in a joyful tone.
"It's the one." Judy replied in a serious tone.
"What's Ethan too hard for you to remember or something?" Judy stepped on my foot.
"Ow! What was that f-"
"No One is supposed to know who you are, got it?
"I guess so." I followed her orders. We were taken to an interrogation room which was pretty creepy. I'm not sure if I broke some law or something. After a minute another familiar face walked in the room.
"Dave! What's good my man?" Dave walked in only gesturing me with his eyes to stop talking. I sat back in my seat with an embarrassed look as if your teacher scolded you in front of the class or something like that.
"Look Ethan. What did you do to Nick?" Judy said in a demanding tone.
"What are you talking about, I did nothing?" My heart sank. What if I did do something to him. Did I mess something up?
"Nick has been acting strange since he came back to Zootopia. He's been the greatest fox somedays, and others, he is lack of better words an asshole." Judy said back.
"Today must have been one of his off days, huh?" I said to lighten the mood.
"What are you talking about?"
"Well- uh. I saw him at the train station and he was pretty pissed. He shoved me aside and told me to pretend I didn't know him. Is there something that I-"
"HE KNOWS YOU'RE HERE?!" Judy screamed at me. I slid down in my chair at the sound of her voice.
"It's- not- my f-f-ault. He came up to me- and I just- was- s-so happy to see him and I just sprang in for a hug." I was on the verge of tears. I was scared for my life.
"Look! I think he misses you and I think that is messing with his head. What did you too do together. I know being alone together for such a long amount of time may create some tensions between the two of you, and-"
"Are you trying to imply we did the do, If you know what I mean? Because, the answer is no. See, that's illegal where I'm from."
"Oh my- what? No! Ethan stop with this stupid bullshit, no I didn't mean that!"
"Well, It sure sounded like that, because usually when we talk about tension in a matter of-"
"Ethan! Shut the hell up."
"Yes Judy" I went back into my serious mood.
"Look Ethan. Did you guys bond?"
"Well, of course we did being together like that. We always talked about stuff. We always had deep conversations."
"Deep conversations about what?"
"Well, we'd always talk about life, and our childhoods, and how we met."
"Well, how did you guys meet?" She asked.
"It's a long complicated story." I replied.
"Well hear me out. Try to treat Nick well until we find out what is going on with Nick." Judy pointed to the door. "Now go! Exit is too the left. We'll see you soon, and Ethan!" I turned to face Judy. "Drop the attitude or next time won't be so pretty!" She said.
"Whatever you say carrots." I walked to the doors ready to head home knowing my day has been wasted.
