This is the 45th chapter of the story. Even though my physical and mental breakdown nearly disabled me, I manage to suppress my illness so that I could continue on my update. Anyway, here's the new chapter. Have fun!

Chapter 45 - Sidelines

After paying a brief visit to Nick and Splero, Judy, Chimpan and Michelle finally arrived at the ZPD Headquarters. As the trio went towards the entrance, Clawhauser saw them.

"Hey, guys!" - Clawhauser greeted -

"Hey there, Clawhauser. We just visited Nick and Splero at the hospital a few moments ago." - Judy greeted back -

"I see. How are they anyway?" - Clawhauser asked -

"They're both fine alright." - Chimpan replied -

Chimpan then places the documents on his desk.

"What are these?" - Clawhauser curiously asked -

"These were the documents that you requested a few days ago." - Chimpan replied -

"Ahh, I remember it now. Thanks for bringing these to me." - Clawhauser thanked him -

"You're welcome, dude." - Chimpan replied -

Chief Bogo then appeared from his office.

"Chief?" - Chimpan called -

"Hmm?" - Bogo responded -

"I'm going to do a scheduled overtime for today with Judy and Michelle." - Chimpan said -

Bogo raised a brow.

"Are you sure? There would be a large pile of paperwork to be written." - Bogo replied -

"Really?" - Chimpan realized -

"The paperwork may last you both for a few more hours." - Bogo added -

"The bigger, the better." - Michelle responded -

"Don't worry, sir. We'll handle those right away." - Chimpan added -

Bogo nodded.

"Alright. I'll let you both to do your overtime sessions." - Bogo said -

"Thanks, Chief." - Chimpan thanked him -

"On one condition, though." - Bogo interrupted -

"Hmm?" - Chimpan responded -

"Since Wilde is still unavailable for now, I need you to hold a meeting with the other ZPD cadets in the Briefing Room later." - Bogo stated -

"That would be great, Chief. At least for the sake of the ZPD and for the Emperor." - Chimpan replied -

Bogo let out a friendly scoff.

"Break your leg on it, Officer. Break your leg." - Bogo said -

"I will, Sir." - Chimpan replied -

Bogo then left. Chimpan then faces to the others. Apparently, Michelle and Judy were both talking to Clawhauser.

"Guys?" - Chimpan directed their attention -

The female rabbit, arctic vixen and the overweight cheetah quiet down.

"Bogo approved the request I asked." - Chimpan said -

"Did he?" - Michelle asked -

Chimpan nodded.

"That's subtle." - Judy remarked -

"Yeah." - Chimpan replied -

A radio scanner suddenly earned a call, waiting to be received.

"Excuse me, guys. I'll take this call." - Clawhauser reminded -

As he switched it on, a voice calls out.

"Clawhauser, we need Officer Chimpan in the Briefing Room right away."

Everyone gazes on Chimpan. The primate sighed.

"On my way." - Chimpan responded -

This is the end of Chapter 45. Stay tuned for the next chapter, everyone!
