Nick entered Koslov's Tailoring, as calmly as if he owned the place, although if her were honest with himself his heart was pounding. Koslov sat at his desk reviewing his ledgers, the bear never even gave him a glance. Nick had made peace with the Big Family primarily because of Judy, but Koslov was known for his long memory.

"I'm here to for a grey suit." Nick said simply.

"I think I may have one in your size." Koslov answered beckoning Nick to follow him.

Inside the far dressing room Koslov produced a photo, "It would appear I have nothing for you in grey would you like to try something in black?"

The sudden shift from grey to black was disconcerting, Nick knew that meant he had to leave no survivors or he would end up in a dumpster himself; assuming that wasn't already his destination.

"Certainly let's see how it fits?"

Koslov held out the photograph for Nick to see. The photo was of a tiger that matched Judy's description exactly talking with a rabbit.

"We recommend that you have this suit cleaned before wearing it." Koslov continued in his deep voice, "The laundry is rather new but comes with our highest recommendation."

"I shall visit them right away." Nick answered.

"Good." Koslov opened a grate in the wall showing Nick a wolf that was picking up a small suit, "You should ask him for directions."

Nick nodded and followed the wolf from about half a block behind. The wolf hailed a taxi on Glacier Avenue and sped away. Nick jumped into his own taxi.

"Where to buddy?"

"Follow that cab." Nick said.

The taxi driver grunted and pulled out after the wolf's taxi, "Friend of yours? Why don't you just split the fare?"

"Stop talking and I'll tip you twenty bucks." Nick growled.

The sheep shrugged, "Suit yourself."

The two taxis wove through traffic following Glacier Ave to the Tundra Town border. The Taxi driver grumbled a bit as he switched from the heater to the A/C in the tunnel from Tundra Town to City Central. The wolf's taxi pulled over beside a rundown convenience store and waited while the wolf stepped out without the suit. Nick jumped out of his cab also to follow from a distance.

"Hey buddy what about the fare?" The driver shouted.

"Keep the meter running." Nick said throwing his license and badge into the driver's lap.

The wolf slipped down a side alley to the back of the store with Nick close behind. The wolf was talking to someone behind a dumpster with a familiar voice but nick couldn't see them.

"Here you are friend. A good haul today."

"We're not friends," the Wolf cut in gruffly, "and if it was such a good day why is there less than usual?"

"Well not everything sold today…" Weasleton explained slowly, "But I got this guy I know." He added quickly, "He likes the stuff something crazy we have a deal put together now for a pickup twice a week. He's buying everything that didn't sell today!"

"He had better. Mr. Maroni doesn't like failing businesses."

"Failing!? I wouldn't call this failing-"

"You're not pulling your weight this week. Now drop whatever side business you've got going on and get with the program or else."

"Or else what?" Weasleton asked nervously.

Something slammed against the dumpster. "Oh you don't want to know."

Nick backed away and ran to his taxi; the wolf was clearly done with his intimidation.

"Keep following the cab." He said jumping back in the car.

Both cars drove away heading for the canyon-lands. Nick's phone rang with Judy's ringtone. He frantically pulled it out of his pocket wondering how she could be calling him.

"Hello?" Nick asked nervously.

"Hey Nick its Stu. Jude asked me to call you and tell you 'he's here.' Do you know what that means?"

Nick dropped his phone; he knew exactly what that meant; their plan had failed. Chief Bogo had announced that Judy had survived the attack along with her kits but was unable to provide details of the evening. The media was running the story inaccurately as a case of amnesia or PTSD depending on the station, with the ZPD had made no effort to correct. Clearly this disinformation campaign had failed to convince the target audience.

"Change of plans, we need to get to Zootopia General now!"

The cab driver peeled to the left and roared down a backstreet.

"Please tell me that doesn't mean what I think that means." Stu asked when Nick picked the phone back up.

"It does." Nick said seriously, "Are you with Judy?"

"No I had to step out to call you."

"Listen carefully go back right now don't look for or talk to anyone else tell Judy I've got her covered; and this is important; do not say anything to the officers by her door."

"I don't understand-"

"I'll explain when it's over just don't say anything to them or act suspicious. Do this and I promise nothing will happen to any of you."

Nick hung up before Stu could argue and called Bogo, "Chief Judy's in trouble don't let those officers leave her side for anything!"

"what are you going on about Wilde? I've had enough from you this week."

"CHIEF, HER ATTACKER IS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH HER!"

Bogo was silent for less than a second, "How do you know this?"

"Judy told me. I'm on my way over there now."

"Don't you do anything while your suspended!"

"I'm not going to start anything, Chief, but I won't let anyone hurt Judy." Nick hung up before Bogo could say anything.

The taxi driver glanced back at him, "So that wolf we were tailing was he a suspect or something?"

"Yeah I was following him undercover." Nick grumbled, "Why do you ask?"

"The driver of the other cab is a friend of mine I can call him to ask where he dropped him off."

Nick pulled out his personal card and gave it to the driver with twice the meter, "Call me with the location. I won't answer so leave a message."

Nick dove out of the taxi and sprinted into the hospital.

"Please be ok. Please be ok. Please be ok." Nick plead as he ran.
