Chapter 7
The file expanded to a story about the two cops, on the page however was text in bright blue lettering. Judy hovered the mouse over the text and clicked on it. The text took them to a separate worksheet on the computer, it was full of pictures of known criminals and lines drawn between them. "Well seems our reporter has been busy." Nick commented looking the pictures over.
"Cristie do you know what he was looking into?" Judy asked the ocelot as she looked on the page confused.
"No he never mentioned any of this to me." She replied.
"Hey look this line goes down to a picture of Clawhauser." Nick pointed to the screen and snickered a bit at the picture of the chubby cheetah gnawing on donuts.
"Then I know where we're going to next." Judy clicked print and picked up the paper on her way out of the building Nick following suite along with Cristie.
They drove back to the police station, cops where running around frantic the phones going off every second they were hung up, "Whats with all the commotion? There a run a donut shop?" Nick commented as they walked in. Clawhauser was doing his best to keep up with the phones and eat his donuts at the same time.
"Nick could you stop joking for a second." Judy glared at him.
"Well if I didn't joke there wouldn't be any comedic relief in our line of work." He smirked and she rolled her eyes as they walked over to Clawhauser.
"Hey Judy." He quickly said as he picked up a ringing phone. "Zootopia police department." he started to talk to the person on the phone as Chief Bogo walked down with a file in his hands.
"Hopps, Wilde!" He called out the two rushed over to him.
"What is it chief?" Judy asked as he set the file down.
"Bellweather just escaped prison." He said.
"She escaped but we were there earlier and…."
"You two are off the kidnapping and are tasked with finding her." The chief said.
"Chief, what about…"
"We'll put two other officers on it, right now though it seems all hell's broken loose in the city." He replied before going back to his office. Judy pulled out the the paper with the pictures and lines between them, spotting the lines drawn between Bellweather and the long eared fox who grew the nighthowler.
"Nick look at this." She pointed to the lines.
"Guy with nighthowler and crazy ex mayor what about them?" He asked
"She said she wasn't the only one buying it, maybe there's someone else and that someone busted her out."
"And where does that leave our kidnapped reporter?" He asked
"He was on to them so they must have kidnapped him." She replied
"So where does that leave our big fluffy friend working the desk?" He asked and she rolled her eyes.
"Let's ask."
