Shane and Judy walked to the interrogation room where her recent arrest was awaiting interrogation.
"So I've an idea for this interrogation, how's about the classic good cop bad cop routine?" suggested Shane.
Judy's ears perked up at the idea;
"I've never done that one before...then again this is my first interrogation here" replied Judy.
"It's easy, I'll play the bad cop...I'll walk in pretending to be on my cellphone acting very irate and I'll threaten him but you try to emphasize with him and calm me down" said Shane.
While the two were discussing they reached the door where Chief Bogo was entering a room next door to the interrogation room to monitor over the interrogation.
"You must be Chief Bogo, Shane Howler ZIB" said Shane as he shook paws with Chief Bogo.
"Pleasure to meet you, I'll be over in the other room with Clawhauser and Wilde watching over the interrogation if you guys need anything" said Chief Bogo.
"Actually I've an idea, Officer Hopps and I will be doing the classic good cop, bad cop routine and I'm gonna act irate and I'm gonna pound on the desk four times and that's your cue to come in and pull me out of the interrogation and have Officer Hopps try to get some info out of him" suggested Shane.
"That'll work, I remember that routine... heck years ago I had one guy who I scared so badly he peed himself" chuckled Chief Bogo.
"That I would've loved to have seen" chuckled Shane.
"Well, shall we get started?" asked Judy.
"We shall" replied Shane.
Shane pulled out his cellphone and cleared his throat, he pretended to talk on the phone to his daughter.
Judy opened the door to Garreth awaiting at a desk.
"I TOLD YOU NO! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THE GAZELLE CONCERT! OH YOUR MOTHER SAID YOU COULD GO?! WELL YOUR MOTHER WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND HER BACKSIDE IF YOU GAVE HER DIRECTIONS!" yelled Shane pretending to talk on his phone.
"Um...Shane?" asked Judy.
"WHAT?!" exclaimed Shane.
"I don't think now's the time to be on your phone" suggested Judy sweetly.
"Whatever" scoffed Shane as he put his phone back into his pocket.
The two sat down in front of the panther.
"Hello there, my name is Officer Hopps and this is Agent Howler and we're just gonna ask some questions but first we need you to fill this form out" said Judy as she handed him the form.
"What's this for?" asked Gareth.
"It's a form genius, it basically states you were here you know and you're gonna be recorded... Right to remain silent, say held against you and right to attorneys can't afford one appointed" said Shane speaking a little faster at the end of his sentence.
Gareth signed the form.
"So let me ask you something? What the hell is your issue?!" asked Shane irate.
"What do you mean?" asked Gareth.
"Gee, I don't know how about burglary and assault on an officer for one!" exclaimed Shane.
Gareth just chuckled smugly and rolled his eyes.
"Listen you little idiot, I don't have time for this crap! Tell me about the damn gang you're in!" exclaimed Shane.
"Um..Agent Howler you shouldn't insult him like that" said Judy worried.
"Oh shut it rabbit!" exclaimed Shane.
Judy had a shocked expression on her face.
"Now you listen and you listen good, you better spill your guts or I'll make sure that you get thrown into a cell with six of Zootopia's most dangerous!" exclaimed Shane.
"I ain't saying a thing!" replied Gareth cockily.
Shane picked up his chair and hurled it real hard the wall and got in Gareth's face and threatened him once more.
Meanwhile in the other room Chief Bogo, Clawhauser and Nick were watching the interrogation via monitor.
"I hope he doesn't kill him" said Clawhauser worried.
"He's laying it on a bit thick" added Chief Bogo.
"Man this is great!" chuckled Nick while eating a donut.
Back in the interrogation room Shane was in Gareth's face making more threats of jail time while Judy tried to be the voice of reason and Gareth was starting to show fear.
"Now I'm gonna ask you one more time, was the burglary for an initiation?!" yelled Shane.
"Dude, I told you I'm not in a gang!" pleaded Gareth.
"Shane, I think he's telling the truth!" exclaimed Judy.
"I've had enough of your lies!" exclaimed Shane banging on the desk four times.
Chief Bogo knew this was his cue and went to grab Shane out of the interrogation room.
"I've seen enough!" exclaimed Chief Bogo.
"Yo man you need to get him outta here, he's crazy!" exclaimed Gareth.
"Shut it punk!" exclaimed Shane.
"Let's go!" exclaimed Chief Bogo as he grabbed Shane by the arm and walked him out of the room.
"That's assault you idiot!" exclaimed Shane as Chief Bogo attempted to pull him out of the room and into the other room where Nick and Clawhauser were.
"Listen, I'm not gonna take anything off some foul mouthed ZIB agent!" exclaimed Chief Bogo.
"Foul mouthed? Man kiss my ass!" exclaimed Shane as he shoved Chief Bogo.
"Don't touch me!" exclaimed Chief Bogo.
Shane shoved him again and Chief Bogo gave Shane a shot to the gut which brought him to his knees and then proceeded to pull him out of the room.
"Carry on Hopps" said Chief Bogo as he exited the room.
Chief Bogo brought Shane into the other room where Clawhauser and Nick were shocked at what they just witnessed, Shane sat down in a chair catching his breath.
"One heck of a punch you got there Chief" said Shane winded.
"I didn't mean to hurt you" replied Chief Bogo.
"No, perish the thought...that kid is ready to crack" replied Shane.
Nick stood up and walked over to Shane;
"Buddy, you deserve an award for that performance" said Nick as he pat Shane on the back.
"Yeah those acting classes paid off, too bad I met my ex in that class" chuckled Shane.
"I was meaning to ask how is Nicole doing?" asked Nick.
"Killing me with alimony, and she's now dating some stockbroker" replied Shane.
"Wow...and how's Megan doing?" asked Nick.
"She's good, another one that's got a claw in my wallet but other than that she's doing good, she passed her regents tests" replied Shane.
"Well that's good" replied Nick.
Meanwhile in the interrogation room…
"Listen, it's okay don't worry you're here with me now, let's just talk" said Judy to Gareth sweetly.
"That dude is crazy!" exclaimed Gareth.
" I need you to focus so we can get this done as quickly as possible" replied Judy.
"Alright look, that whole burglary was initiation for a gang, they're called the Steel Claws and they were gonna recruit me" said Gareth.
"Okay, and can you tell me about them?" asked Judy jotting down everything he said.
"Well they basically run the docks, you know like when shipments come in they get a twenty percent stake in whatever comes in and they smuggle illegal shipments and stolen goods" said Gareth.
"Okay and can I ask why you ran from me and pulled a knife?" asked Judy.
"I just didn't want to go back to jail and I panicked" said Gareth.
Just then Shane entered the room.
"Well you just bought a ticket to the big house" said Shane.
"Yo get him out of here!" exclaimed Gareth.
"Relax dude, I'm not gonna hurt you just put your hands behind your back" said Shane.
"Wait...hold up, you didn't read me my rights before the interrogation!" exclaimed Gareth.
Just then Judy pulled out her tape recorder carrot pen;
"Right to remain silent, say held against you and right to attorneys can't afford one appointed"
"I'd say that'll hold up" said Chief Bogo entering the room with a pair of handcuffs.
"Paws behind your back, kid" said Chief Bogo.
Gareth cooperated and put his paws behind his back and Chief Bogo cuffed him and read him his rights.
"Wow, your performance was breathtaking...I mean I was scared there for a second" chuckled Judy.
"I took acting classes in high school, never knew they'd pay off" replied Shane chuckling.
Just then Nick walked into the room as Chief Bogo was escorting Gareth to a cell.
"That was a heck of a performance, you deserve your own TV show" said Nick.
"Thanks bud, listen it's almost five o'clock and I figure since I'm about to be off the clock I figure why don't we all get a drink or something?" suggested Shane.
"Sounds good to me" replied Nick.
"I don't really drink" said Judy.
"You know you don't have to get anything with alcohol" chuckled Shane.
"Alright, that's cool we should go" said Judy ecstatic.
Shane's phone rang indicating he had a text;
Daddy, can you lend me some money? There's a couple of cute shirts I want and then me and my friends wanna go to the movies! Thanks daddy! You're the best xoxoxox
Shane was annoyed at the text but went into his mobile banking app and proceeded to transfer $100 into his daughter's account.
"Text from Megan?" asked Nick.
"Only when she wants money or a ride and right now she wanted the former of the two" said Shane.
Shane then got another text;
Thanks daddy! You're the bestest daddy in the world!
Nick caught a glimpse of the text.
"Aww" he chuckled.
"Yeah but other than that I'm the world's worst but I hear that spiel all the time" replied Shane.
"Well, why don't we go get changed Carrots?" asked Nick.
"Argh...I told you...never mind" said Judy aggravated as her and Nick went to go get changed.
"I'll wait for you guys outside, my car is the black Clydesdale outside" said Shane.
"You still have that car?" asked Nick.
"Since we were teens" said Shane.
