Chapter 27
Cameron walked into the police station at 7:30, he got a few glares and people whispering to each other, but nobody said anything directly at him.
He walked into the Bullpen and found that he was the last one there.
"Why the hell is he here!" Says a voice to his left
"He is here because I told him to. Now if anyone has any objections say so now." Bogo says only getting silence in return
"Thank you chief. My doctor has confirmed that the serum is being reduced to a safe level naturally, but he also warned be that any extreme emotions may trigger an uncontrollable spike." I say to the room as I sit down next to Clawhouser.
"What do you mean by emotions?" Says the same voice as before that I now see is the moose Officer Wake
"Major emotions like sadness, fear, and Anger." I reply putting more power in the last word.
"Ok then now to begin." Bogo says going through the list of officers "Okay then, Hopps and Wilde are together as usual, Cameron today you are with Officer Wolford. Clawhouser you are on dispatch."
"Sir why am I with Wolford today?" I ask
"I got a call from your boss. He says that as of last night you are a international officer."
"Oh. What is that?"
"It means that you are a LEO in two different countries. You are still a Montréal detective, but you are also now A ZPD detective. I am assigning you to patrol duty because there are no active major cases other then the Yakaza Gang, that has been taken over by the FBI."
"I wondered why it took so long for them to step in."
"Me too. Dismissed"
I get up walking over to Wolford who stands up to shake my hand.
"Never officially met." He says
"No, I was too busy being undercover." I joke
"You are like Nick in so many ways."
"I noticed that."
We go outside and get into a marked Charger.
"This yours?" I ask
"Well, mine as in I drive it." Wolford replies
"Yea, ZPD dosen't let you own your own vehicle."
"Why do Canadians do that?"
"Makes people more careful. You wouldn't drive recklessly if you owned the car and had to pay for damages."
"How much money does that save the government?" He says as he leaves the parking lot
"2.3 million annually in Montréal alone."
"So how much does the serum improve your senses?"
"Quite dramatically. Have you ever actually heard a pin hit the ground?"
"No actually."
"It is like a metal pipe but quieter."
"What about taste?"
"Oh! Don't get me started. It's like I am baking the flavor into the food."
"Wow. is it true that you put maple syrup in your coffee?"
"Yes, and if you make a joke I will disembowel you in a way that it will take you days to bleed out."
"That is dark."
"Yea it is, that's why it scares people."
Again, like someone was typing out events on a computer, the radio went off.
"Attention all units. We have a hostage situation at Zootopia Security Bank. All units respond, Detective Robertson is to be negotiator." Says Clawhouser over the radio
"Wonder why they want me to do it."
"Can you notice the micro expressions on people's faces when they lie?"
"Yes I can" I say with all grin
We arrive at the bank to find it surrounded by officers and two SWAT teams.
"Hello chief, you needed a negotiator." I say
"Yes. Now put on this microphone and get up there." He replies
I put the microphone on and move my 1911 from my hip to a sleeve inside my suit jacket.
I walk up to the doors of the bank and knock on them.
"Hello, You ordered one negotiator with extra reasonably and no weapons?" I yell
I can hear someone laughing behind me and I can tell it is Nick.
The door opens to show a medium sized mammal completely covered in clothing, aiming a P08 Luger at me.
"No need for that, You wanted to negotiate." I say
"Yes. Now our demands are simple. 200 and free passage."
"That can be arranged depending in what you have."
"What do you mean by that?"
"How many hostages do you have, how many allies do you have, are any of the hostages hurt emotionally or physically?"
"We have 12 hostages that include bank staff and civilians, I will not disclose how many of us there are, and all of the hostages are okay exempt for the security guard who may have a broken nose."
"Okay I will see what I can do." I say backing up.
"You will return to give an update every 10 minutes or a hostage will be shot in a limb of their choosing."
"Understood"
I walk down the stairs speaking into the microphone "Got all that?"I ask getting a thumbs up from Bogo.
"The guy had an antique P08 Luger. it looked in working order but if it was made before 1933 it is susceptible to high rates of jamming."
"What are you getting at?" Bogo says now that I have walked into the HQ truck.
"The company that made the luger before 1933 was going out of business. It used crappy materials and poor parts. After the Nazi party centralized the industry, the gun became the most reliable available."
"So if it is older then 1933 then it won't go off?"
"High chance that it won't. And of he had that I wonder what weapons the others have."
"Get that info next."
"Yes sir."
I return to the entrance on time.
"Okay how is the money coming along?"
"It is being gathered from the other banks. Now my superior wants more information."
"Like what?"
"What kind of weapons do you have? I see you have a P08 Luger, what year is it by the way?"
"We have surplus WWII weapons, they were cheap and reliable. Everyone has M1 Grands exempt for me who has a 1932 P08 Luger."
I signal Nick with a thumbs up command that Bogo told me to use if they didn't have automatic weapons.
"Oh that is good."
"Why is that?"
"Because P08s built before 1933 are extremely unreliable. Shoot me in the foot."
"What?"
"Shoot me in the foot."
I say before he aims his pistol at my door and pulls the trigger only getting a click.
"See. That is why you research weapons before buying them." I say as I pull out my 1911 and aim it at him "Now put the weapons down."
He sees that there is no getting out of this and complies.
"How were are your buddies and the hostages?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"You may be put in a minimum security prison with a few perks if you do. And a Maximum security jail cell if you don't."
The man then goes in great detail describing where everyone is.
"SWAT move in." Bogo says "Hey Cameron how were you sure his gun would jam?"
"I wasn't, it was 50/50 me keeping my foot."
End of a other chapter. The comments have stopped. Am I just posing stuff that dosen't get red? Will Judy and Nick's relationship come into play in the next chapter? I dunno. -Author
