Chapter 3: Bodyguard Duty
"Please, can you help me?" asked Gazelle.
"Gazelle, I mean Miss Thompson Hopps and Wilde are some of my finest officers, and they'd be honored to take your case, right, officers?" said Bogo.
"Oh, yes." answered Judy.
"We're on the case." added Nick.
"Oh, thank you very much." Gazelle replied, gratefully.
"We'll just call the crime scene unit to come down and process the scene."
"Chief Bogo, before you make that call we have to get something clear." Trevor mentioned, which got the officers full attention.
"You must keep this only with the police. The last thing Gazelle needs is paparazzi putting the fact that she has a stalker in papers."
"And plus we don't want the stalker to know we're onto him." Judy pipped up.
"Don't worry, Mr. Spencer we'll make sure the press stays out of this." assured Chief Bogo, and he made the call to the crime scene unit and told them to be discreet.
So instead of coming in police cars, they came in regular cars, and didn't draw too much attention to themselves when they went inside. As the processed the scene, Nick and Judy questioned Gazelle.
"So Miss Thompson..." started Nick.
"Oh please, Officer Wilde call me Gazelle." said Gazelle.
"Okay then, so Gazelle does anyone else have access to your house?"
"No, the only ones who do are Sophie, my personal assistant, Marina, my housekeeper, Jacob, my gardener/maintenance man, and Trevor."
"Well, we're going to have a talk with them." Judy told her.
"You do that, I have to meet with my stylist to see what we're going to do about my hair."
And she went into the living room to talk to her stylist.
"So Sophie, you pretty much follow Gazelle everywhere?" Judy questioned.
"Yes, as her personal assistant, I accompany her on all her errands and outings." answered Sophie.
"Have you ever noticed anyone following you, or a fan that seemed to be focusing Gazelle a little too much?" Nick wondered.
"'I'm afraid not, whenever we're out in public and Gazelle doesn't want to be noticed, we wear disguises. And when she does want to be seen there's always fans so it's not that easy to notice one certain mammal."
"Yeah, that's true, where do you go everyday?" Judy asked.
"Well, we go to lots of different places everyday, but the usual places we go to are the studio and the gym."
"And you know Gazelle's whole schedule before she does?"
"That's right. Gazelle tells me what she has planned for the next day, and then in the morning Trevor sends me any location he wants Gazelle to be at."
When they were finished talking to Sophie they talked to Marina.
"So, Marina, have you noticed anything strange happening around the house?" asked Judy.
"What kind of strange things?" Marina wondered.
"You know like windows opened that you don't remember opening, things disappearing or being moved around?" Nick clarified.
"Come to think of it, when I was tidying up Miss Thompson's room a couple days ago, and when I was cleaning her vanity I noticed that her hairbrush and cob were missing. I thought she just moved them, and when she couldn't find them I thought they were just lost."
Judy wrote that down, and then the two went to talk to Jacob.
"Have you noticed anything hanging around the premise of the house?" Nick questioned.
"I usually keep my eyes on my work, but I usually get glimpses of paparazzi standing around." Jacob explained.
"What about someone not taking pictures, what about someone just standing in front of the house?" wondered Judy.
"Well, the other day I saw someone standing in front of the house, but when he saw me he ran off."
After taking statements from Gazelle's staff and the crime scene units finished they got ready to leave. Trevor had called Gazelle's tiger body guards to come watch over her for the night, and some rhino, bear, and hippo officers stayed behind for backup.
That evening, Nick and Judy were just about to leave, when Chief Bogo stopped them.
"Hopps, Wilde, a word before you leave." he said.
"What is it, sir?" asked Nick.
"I was just on the phone with Mr. Spencer, and he thinks you two should accompany Gazelle and Sophie when they're out while we found out who this stalker is, and I happen to agree."
"You mean you want us to be Gazelle's bodyguards?" questioned Judy.
"Exactly."
The two looked at each other, and answered.
"We'll do it."
"Great, so tomorrow you'll come here to report in and then you'll drive a regular car to Gazelle's house. You'll escort her around and keep and eye on her, then at the end of the day you'll come back here."
"We're on it, sir."
"Good, oh and by the way, you'll want to wear regular clothes when you're escorting Gazelle."
When the two left the station, they drove home.
"Well Carrots starting tomorrow, we'll be living the life of a pop star." Nick told her.
"Yep, it's gonna be a whole new world for us." replied Judy.
