Judy and Nick walk over Benjamin Clawhauser's desk. "Hey, Clawhauser!" Judy greeted the overweight cheetah. "Guess what? Me and Nick have been given a new case to solve!"

"Nice," Clawhauser said.

"Can we borrow your desk?" Nick asked.

"Uh, sure." Clawhauser gets up from his desk chair and steps aside to let Judy and Nick use it.

Once they were at the computer on the desk, Nick pulled up the case report database screen and typed in 'Betty Nutts' in the search toolbox.

The screen pulled up a status about Betty, showing a picture of her and reading:

Name: Betty Nutts
Species: Squirrel (Sciuridae)
Fur color: Gray
Weight: 1.3 lbs
Height: 7.1 in.
Address: 3458 Rat Run Drive
Little Rodentia, 82412

Judy and Nick looked at a few photos of Betty Nutts and came to a video of Betty's last known sighting. It showed the squirrel walking in the city at night alone.

"Why is she walking in the city alone?" Judy asked. "She's too young to be outside without adult supervision."

"I don't know." Nick replied.

As Betty was walking, a hooded figure wearing a coat stopped in front of the young squirrel and was doing or saying something that Nick and Judy couldn't tell what it was doing. A moment later, the figure was walking away with Betty beside it.

"Why is she going with that person?" Judy asked. "She should wait until she trusts that person to go with him or her."

"We don't know yet." Nick replied. "But I did happen to notice that those two were in front of the Grand Pangolin Apartments. We should check there first."

They got up from the computer to headed for the main entrance to the police station.

"Good luck, you two!" Clawhauser said to them.

"Thanks." Judy answered.

Once they were out of the building, they saw a familiar mammal placing "missing" posters all over the city.

"I think that's Kathy Nutts." Nick commented.

"I agree." Judy said. "We should ask her about her daughter."

They walked up to Kathy and just when they were about to say something to her, she noticed them and said, "Excuse me. Hello. Have you seen my daughter?"

"No." Judy answered. "But our chief hired us to find her."

"Oh, thank goodness."

"When was the last time you saw your daughter?" Nick asked.

"Last night when I was putting her to bed. When I got up and called her to breakfast this morning, she was gone."

"We're sorry to hear that. But don't worry, Mrs. Nutts. We'll find your daughter."

"Well, I hope you do, and soon."

"We will." Judy answered and she and Nick headed to their cruiser and headed for the Grand Pangolin Apartments.

When they got there, they parked the cruiser. Once they were in front of the building, Nick got down on all fours and sniffed around the sidewalk in an attempt to track down whoever kidnapped Betty Nutts. He finally stopped when he gets a scent of the kidnapper.

"The kidnapper who kidnapped Betty Nutts is a warthog. He hides out in an abandoned building in Savanna Central."

"Excuse me," a male voice said. "Are you looking for something?" Nick turned to his right and saw a wolf standing there.

"Oh, yes." Nick replied. "I'm tracking down a kidnapped squirrel. She was kidnapped in front of here."

"I saw the squirrel kidnapped last night while I was at my window. I couldn't tell what the kidnapper looked like though."

"Uh, the kidnapper is a warthog." Nick said.

"Oh. Well, I saw the kidnapper go down that way." The wolf pointed to the right side of where he is standing.

"Well, thank you, sir." Nick thanked the wolf. "Me and Judy are headed in the direction."

"Good luck finding the squirrel, you two."

With that, Judy and Nick got back into their cruiser and headed for Savanna Central.
