This is the 27th chapter of the story. Taking notice on the subsequent "popularity" of this story, I decided to go full throttle. Anyway...Here's the chapter, everyone!
PS: In this chapter, Splero and Michelle only made a brief appearance here. Take note of that and please read on, Everyone! Have fun reading!
Chapter 27 - Second Sidelines
Michelle started her training with Splero as her training coach. A lot of ZPD personnel watches them along with the cadets and other spectators present. Nick was standing in the corner along with Judy.
"To be honest, I like to see them side by side." - Nick said -
"You said it, slick." - Judy replied -
Chimpan then approached the duo.
"Hey, guys. Can I have a moment with both of you in Chief Bogo's office?" - Chimpan asked -
"Yes, Chimpan but why at Chief Bogo's office?" - Judy replied with a question -
"Actually, Chief Bogo wanted to talk about something regarding about the police operation that we should be working on soon in the Rainforest District." - Chimpan answered -
"Ok, Chimp. We're heading our way to his office then." - Nick said -
Chimpan nodded and he went to Chief Bogo's office along with the duo.
Chief Bogo was busy on arranging the documents that were stacked neatly on his desk. His file cabinets were also opened as well. As he continued on, he carefully arranged the papers.
"Now where is that said document?" - Chief Bogo thought to himself -
A series of knock interrupted him.
"Who is it?" - Chief Bogo asked -
"It's Officer Chimpan, sir. I have called Nick and Judy." - Chimpan replied -
"Come right in, guys." - Chief Bogo said -
The trio entered the office. Nick was surprised to see the stacked papers on the desk.
"Now that's a lot of documents, Chief." - Nick remarked -
"It is, Wilde. These were the documents from the previous cases." - Bogo said, his back still facing on them -
When he turned around, he placed the documents that he found in his desk.
"Sit down, guys." - Bogo said -
Chimpan, Nick and Judy sat down. Bogo then followed suit.
"I know Splero was now training Michelle up in the Training Fields, right?" - Bogo asked -
"Yes, Sir. We saw them as well a moment ago." - Judy replied -
"There were a lot of spectators in the Training Fields too. Looks like that Splero and Michelle were now like VIPs for the ZPD, I think." - Nick added -
"Oh, really? I'm jealous, slick." - Judy teased -
"Easy for you to say!" - Nick replied, grinning her in a teasing way -
Chief Bogo clears his throat.
"That's enough, you two. Let's start with the overview of this police operation." - Bogo silenced them -
The water buffalo opened a recent folder. He then took out a few documents from it.
"Since Hopps and Wilde had taken care of the Nighthowler Incident long ago, 95% of the subsequent criminal incidents were totally extinguished width a 3-month period. Most of the other criminal masterminds surrendered right after that recent crime." - Bogo stated -
"So you're saying that the remaining 5% of the criminality rate remained in some of the isolated parts of Zootopia, Chief?" - Chimpan asked -
"Yes. Some of them were the other criminal supporters of the Night Howler Incident as well." - Bogo replied -
"If there were still other fugitives from the incident, why are they hid themselves in the Rainforest District or in the other Zootopian Districts that were already being patrolled frequently by the other ZPD personnel?" - Nick asked -
"Because they were planning to strike back with a big revenge, Nick. Most of them had clandestinely kept some of the Night Howler Serum reserves from Doug's laboratory or from Doug himself." - Chimpan answered -
"Chimpan's right. They hid themselves out there and while they were hidden from our view, they're going to reconstruct the vast quantities of the serum. When the desired quantities were being stored, they will strike at any time." - Bogo added -
"So...What should we do now, Chief?" - Judy asked -
"It's quite simple, Hopps. Our main objective was to bring the remaining fugitives behind bars while our secondary objective was to get rid of the Night Howler Serum reserves that they hid in their very places. Sounds a bit nerve-racking but this planned tactic would work." - Bogo replied -
"I'm in favor for that, Chief." - Nick said -
"Me too. I want to end this major issue. We don't want a second appearance of another Bellwether." - Judy added -
"Go fourth with that, guys!" - Chimpan remarked, snickering -
Nick and Judy cheered. Chief Bogo nodded on their determinations.
This is the end of Chapter 27. Upon realizing that the Night Howler Incident left behind some suspicious stones unturned, Nick and Judy were both determined to stop the major issues from escalating. Stay tuned for Chapter 28, everyone!
