I knew it was stupid. Returning to my apartment. That's where they look first. At least I got away from the entire ZPD by jumping onto the cable car line and zipping down it. One of them took a few shots at me!
I almost half expected for a SWAT team to break down my door as I was grabbing my things. All I got was a knock.
I went up to the door and looked through the peephole to find Clawhouser. I opened the door with my 1911 aimed at his forehead.
"You could at least buy me a drink first." Clawhouser says
"I don't know why you are here. Is there a SWAT team outside ready to take me out?" I question
"No I just came here to show you what is going on." He says walking past me
I keep my 1911 on him and close the door
He walks into my living room and turns on the TV.
"The events as we know them are as follows." The news anchor says "5:30 PM: The Yakaza Gang streams a message of them darting Officer Robertson with the Night Howler serum. 6:00 PM: Our news team arrives to the location that we acquired from an undisclosed source to find Officer Robertson standing by a building seemingly normal. When the ZPD arrived he confronted them saying 'I won't go with you because I don't feel like being picked apart be a doctor in a lab.' He then caught a tranquilizer dart in mid air and took off on all fours where he evaded the ZPD. His location is currently unknown but the ZPD is currently raiding his residence."
I get up and grab Clawhouser and put the 1911 to his head before yelling out "I WANT ONE OFFICER TO NEGOTIATE. UNARMED. WITH A CELL PHONE THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO CHIEF BOGO!"
The front door slowly opens to show Bogo himself standing there.
"Cameron put the gun down." He says with a wink.
I get the message and continue the introduced act. "I won't do that because as I said before. I like life."
"Cameron, How about this. You go downstairs with Clawhouser. Get in your car and you go to an undisclosed location where Officer Hopps, Wilde, and I will meet you."
"I would do that. But I still don't trust you. I want our conversation to be broadcast over ZNN so that the public can see that I am no threat."
Bogo begins to back up "I will clear the building. I assume you will kill him if you see any officers in your way."
"Your assumption is correct."
He then leaves. I get a text a minute later that says "There is a Marked Crown Victoria in the alley. I bought you 3 minutes."
"Nice act." I say
"Thanks. Nick thought of it." Clawhouser replies "You weren't actually going to shoot me right?"
"I may of is Bogo didn't wink."
He remained silent until we got to the car.
"Where are we going."
"Any high rises under construction in the city?"
"Husky and Fifth."
We drive to the building and go to the top floor.
"Okay so what do we do? Clawhouser asks."
"This." I say as I pull out my phone. "Hello ZNN? Yes. This is Officer Cameron Robertson. I would like one news crew to the top floor of the construction site at Husky and Fifth. Don't call the ZPD or an officer will fall to his death." I say as I hang up "Can you cuff yourself to that pipe?" I ask Clawhouser
"Can do." He says
The news team arrived in five minutes. They approached slowly before they saw Cameron talking to Clawhouser cuffed to the pipe."Ah ZNN so nice of you to join us."
"I assume you want a live broadcast." The reporter asks
"That would be correct. Don't worry about the officer, he is just there so the ZPD won't shoot me on sight."
The news crew set up I gave Clawhouser a bottle of water and some doughnuts."Ok we are set up." The cameraman said
"Do you want me to introduce you?" The reporter asks
"Yes please. I was this to show that I are no threat."
I watch the TV screen that that set up to watch the broadcast.
"Now for a only avaliable here interview. We now go live to Jane Kepler interviewing the fugitive Cameron Robertson." The news anchor says
"Yes I am here with Cameron Robertson. He requested this interview and has something to say to the city." Kepler says
"Thank you. I assume that all of Zootopia knows who I am. I also assume that the ZPD is on their way to my location at this very moment. To deter any harsh actions I have to remind the ZPD that I have an officer captive." I say as the Camera pans to show Clawhouser cuffed to the pipe eating a doughnut.
"Now my message. Yes, I was shot with the Night Howler serum, it is flowing through my veins at this very moment, but everyone here is not dead. If I thought that I would harm anyone, I would of turned myself into the ZPD on my own accord, but I am in full control of my actions. I also have enhanced senses. LIKE HOW I KNOW THAT THERE IS A FOX AND A BUNNY SNEAKING UP BEHIND ME." I say turning to see Nick and Judy aiming their weapons at me. "Put your hands up Cameron." Nick says
"I would do that but I haven't finished my message. Now put your weapons down until I finish."
They are also in on the act so they do as said and call out to Clawhouser
"You okay Stripes?" Nick says
"I'm fine, Cameron is actually more sophisticated now. It's like he is more British." Clawhouser informs
"Even without my advance hearing I could hear that clearly. Now let me finish... As I was saying. My senses are highly improved. I would assume that the ZPD would consider me an asset and would not experiment on me to find out why I am in control of the serum, am I right officers?" I ask the three officers.
"Yes " Judy says
"Yep" Nick say
"Mmmhhhhhmmm" Clawhouser says as he shoves another doughnut in his mouth.
"In that case." I say as I pass the handcuff keys to Clawhouser "I surrender myself to the ZPD, I would now like to see Chief Bogo." I say as I walk backwards, take my fedora off, kneel down and put my hands on my head.
Clawhouser uncuffs himself while Nick handcuffs me with my hands in front of me and Judy walks up to the news crew and tells them to turn the camera off."Well that is a development. It appears Officer Cameron Robertson has just surrendered himself to the ZPD peacefully in exchange for assurance that he will not be experimented on." The news anchor says.
Nick and Judy walk me downstairs to find ten police vehicles and an equal number of news vans.I tip my hat to the cameras before Judy puts me in the back of their squad car and Clawhouser gets in the vehicle we arrived in. We then depart for Precinct 1 to speak with Bogo.
The cliffhanger is resolved. What will happen next? -Author
