Judy remembered picking up the teddy bear that she and Nick found on their way to the abandoned old house in Savanna Central. "Hey, Betty, I think you might've dropped this." she said as she handed Betty the teddy bear.

"Thank you!" Betty said as she hugged her teddy bear. "I was wondering what happened to it. I must've dropped it without noticing."

"Now all we have to do is catch and arrest that warthog and return Betty to her mother, then our mission will be completed." Nick said to Judy.

Judy nodded and added, "When he returns here, we'll be ready for him."

Speaking of whom, Nick happened to see War T. Hog outside the window coming up towards the house. "Here he comes."

Judy, Nick and Betty hide behind an old couch as they watch War enter the house. He heads to the room Betty was tied up in. When he sees the bed empty, he gasps, then snorts angrily and vows to find Betty and bring her back.

Once he returns to the living room, he smells something. "I smell something." he said. He walks into the living room to find where the smell is coming from. He could hear the sound of tiny feet.

He goes over to the couch and sees a tail sticking out from behind it. "There you are!" he shouted. Betty came out of her hiding place.

"How could you escape?!"

"This rabbit and fox police officer came and rescued me." Betty said bravely. "They're here to arrest you and put you in jail where you and other criminals belong. You'll never catch me again!"

"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" War said as he held out a bag to recapture Betty with. Nick stood in front of Betty protectively, pulled out his gun and pointed it at War.

"Freeze!" he shouted. War dropped the bag he was holding and held up his hands. About 30 seconds later, he sees Betty trying to sneak away, snorts and squeals like a mad pig would and charges at her. Just when he was about to ram into Nick, Judy grabs a tazer and fires it at War, electrocuting him and knocking him out.

"Wow!" Nick said to Judy. "Didn't know you had a tazer with you."

"Of course I do." Judy replied. "This tazer can be really useful. It can knock you out for half an hour, which is 30 minutes."

"Cool. Well, I'll cuff him and you tell the chief we found Betty."

Judy nodded, and while Nick puts handcuffs on War, she pulled out her walkie and contacted Chief Bogo, "Hello, Chief Bogo?"

"Hey, Hopps," Bogo said over the walkie. "How are you Nick and doing?"

"We found Betty Nutts. She was kidnapped by a warthog named War T. Hog. He hides out in an old abandoned house in Savanna Central. We found it with War's footprints. I knocked him out with my tazer."

"Excellent! We're on our way right now! We're bringing Kathy Nutts with us so she can see her daughter again. Thank you for telling us."

"You're welcome." She turned towards Nick. "Now all we have to do is wait for the authorities to arrive and arrest War."

"Don't worry, kid." Nick told Betty. "We'll have you back with your mother in no time."

"Bless you two. I miss her so much."

About 5 minutes later, the ZPD arrive in front of the house. They run inside, pick up the still unconscious War T. Hog and take him outside to one of the police cars.

Once Judy, Nick and Betty stepped outside, Betty's eyes widened as she saw a familiar squirrel standing in front of the police cars' blaring lights and started running towards her at the sight of her.

"Mom!" Betty exclaimed, running over to her mother as she rushed to her, the two meeting in front of the old house.

"Betty!" Kathy shouted as she pulled her daughter in for a tight hug. Betty followed suit by embracing her mother. "Oh, thank goodness. I've been worried sick."

"I'm sorry, mom." Betty said as tears started to well up in her eyes. Judy and Nick watch the reunion and are trying their best not to cry.

"No, I'm the one who's sorry." Kathy said as tears began to roll down her cheeks.

Betty looked at her mother as tears streamed from her eyes and she began to cry openly.

"I'm sorry for being so overprotective." Kathy said as she gently stroked Betty's fur. "I was wrong about you, and I promise to let you go out every once in a while."

"You really mean it?" Betty asked.

"Yes," Kathy replied with a small smile. The mother and daughter share a tight hug with Betty feeling love from her mother for the first time in awhile."

The ZPD officers watched the reunion between the two squirrels and were touched by this. When Betty and Kathy pulled away, Kathy said to Judy and Nick, "Thank you both for finding my daughter. You have my thanks."

"You're very welcome, Mrs. Nutts." Judy said.

Then Kathy turned her attention back to Betty. "Well, I think that's enough excitement for tonight. Let's go home." She offers her hand, which Betty takes and one of the officers takes them in his car to take them to their home.

Later that night, Judy's shift ended and she went home to the Grand Pangolin Apartments. As she heated her dinner in the microwave, her phone rang. "Hey, mom and dad." she answered. "Hey, Judy!" her mom said on the phone. "How was your day today?"

"It was great. I solved the case of a missing squirrel daughter. She was kidnapped by a warthog."

"Well, me and your father are glad you solved the case. Just thought we'd give you a call."

"Nice talking to you. I'll talk to later. Bye." She ended her call and turned on her TV while eating her dinner. Later, Judy settled down, got into bed and slept soundly now that her case with Nick is successful.

THE END
