Here's chapter 38. As I said before, this chapter takes place again in the dimension in which Zootopia, Aggretsuko, Kaiketsu Zorori, Star Fox and Ratcht & Clank take place. And you will have our main characters from Zootopia in this chapter after having gone through several chapters without appearing.
Back in the city of Tokyo was the Wilde Hopps Savage family, as they used to call themselves from time to time. Since they had returned from the island of Odaiba they went to two interesting places, at that time they were returning to the hotel, but they had taken a different route to see some places that they had not seen in previous days, there were many stores that sold souvenirs. Maybe they could buy some things in a few days, to take with their relatives when they return to Zootopia. Although they would have to review what their loved ones would like the most, perhaps something with which they could decorate something in their homes or that they could use.
When they were arriving at the hotel, the children noticed some papers stuck on the walls of a building that caught their attention.
"What is that mom?" Nicole and Jerry said in unison, pointing the papers to her mother.
Judy seeing that, leaned closer to see them more clearly as she held hands with the children. Nick, Jack, and Finnick were standing behind them.
"It's the ad for a water park called Tokyo Summer Land. It seems that it had been closed for a while for some repairs, but it is now ready to reopen" said the gray rabbit.
"I've been to that place before, the last time I came to this country, I had to do some research there. To be honest it is a good place to spend time with the family" said the striped rabbit.
"Then I think we should go there on the next day," said the fennec fox.
"I agree. Finnick and I have never been to one of those before" said the red fox.
"It wouldn't be a bad idea, but I have a suspicion they won't open," Judy said.
"Because you think so?" Finnick asked.
"After what happened over the weekend I don't think they have a lot of people going to attend, not after what happened over the weekend," Judy replied.
"We don't lose anything if we try to go though," Nick suggested.
"Yes, please, we want to go," Nicole said.
"It would be more fun if we all go together," Jerry said.
The two children made puppy eyes, something neither of the adults could resist when they did. Not even serious adults like Jack, Finnick, or even the Chief Bogo.
"Okay, we can go, but on the weekend," Judy said.
"And we're only going for two hours," said Jack.
"Oh come on, two hours isn't much fun," Finnick said.
"I agree, we should go longer. At the end of the day we are on vacation" said Nick.
The two children sided with the two adult foxes, as they wanted to spend more than two hours there. The two rabbits had no choice but to accept since they were two against four. They both realized that when it came to doing fun things with kids Nick was the "fun dad" while Judy and Jack would be the "boring parents" when they refused something the kids wanted to do. At least Nick and Finnick never spoiled Nicole and Jerry, they could score points for that.
"Ok, we can go longer," Judy said.
"But at the slightest proof that there may be a danger we will not go or withdraw from there immediately. It is understood?" said Jack.
Both children nodded.
"Then everything is decided," Nick said.
"Nice that I pack our swimsuits before we leave home," Finnick said.
"You did what?" Jack asked in shock.
"Yes, the three of you were busy finishing preparing the children at the time. I put them in my suitcase. Only Nick was the only one who found out, but he didn't say anything."
"Nick!" Judy said scolding.
"What can I say, I didn't think it was a bad idea," Nick said with his typical smiling expression.
"Later we will have a serious discussion with you about this" said Jack with his serious face already known to the other three.
"Well, it's better to go back to the hotel, since surely the grandparents want to talk to you" Judy said to the two children while Jack kept looking at Nick and Finnick as if they were small children.
Both the little gray vixen and the little striped rabbit were happy, for certain reasons they could not talk to them that morning. That was pretty weird, since they always stayed up late so they could talk to them.
Once they got to the hotel, Judy sat on the bed with her two children on either side. Nick, Jack, and Finnick were sitting on the bed behind Judy so they could appear on the video call as well. The gray female rabbit picked up the phone and dialed her mother's phone. But she didn't answer. Judy found it strange so made another call. Her mother did not answer this call either. This worried her, so she decided to call her father, but he did not answer either. So she decided to call Nick's mother, but she didn't answer either.
"This is weird, no one answers. Nick, Jack, Finnick, you could try calling them too," Judy said.
The two foxes nodded and called, the female rabbit kept trying to call them. But they had the same result, neither of the two rabbits nor the vixen answered their respective phones, and they tried several times, but did not get answers.
"Dads, Mom, Uncle Finnick, is everything okay?" Nicole asked.
"Grandpa and grandmothers are fine, right?" Jerry asked.
"Oh yeah. Everything is fine. Surely their phones are discharged and that's why they couldn't contact us" Judy answered.
"But as soon as they load up maybe we can call them again and talk to them," Nick said.
"You don't worry about anything, they are fine at the moment" said Jack.
"In the meantime, what if they go watch TV for a while, you'll see that everything will be fine," Finnick said.
Both children looked at each other, then at the adults and nodded, and went to the living room of the bedroom to watch TV.
This was too strange for the four adults that Stu, Bonnie and Mrs. Wilde did not answer their cell phones, they always had them on hand in case of any emergency, and more since the day their grandchildren were born. Something bad must have happened to them, but they were terrified to think that something bad had happened to them. Nick terrified him, since since his father John Wilde died in circumstances still unknown when he was 5 years old, he did not feel prepared to lose his mother as well. Judy in general felt the same sense of concern that her parents felt when she moved to the Zootopia, but multiplied by 10. Jack and Finnick despite not being a biological family, were quite close to the three of them that they even saw them as the family lost (in Jack's case) and the family he didn't have (in Finnick's case)
"I don't want to think pessimistic or anything, but what if this is the doing of Eggman, who knew about them and captured them," Nick said.
"It does not seem likely to me, currently Shadow and Rouge are at their base with some of my companions, if they were there, they would have already warned us" said Jack.
"And besides, if Eggman had appeared in Zootopia, we would already know it since he had appeared in the news, aside from what we know about him, he likes to attract attention" said Judy.
Finnick was thoughtful for a moment, quickly got up and said to the other three "I have to make a call, when I get back we will have answers about what happened."
After that the fennec fox left the room, already being in the hallway he dialed a phone number on his cell phone.
Hi, Skye. Are you busy?" asked the fennec fox.
"No, right now I'm on my way to continue watching over Nick's mother and Judy's parents," said the vixen while driving her car.
"So you haven't been watching them all day?"
"No. I was seeing them during the afternoon, but I had to leave because the boss called me since she wanted to tell me something in person, and so far I'm coming back almost after midnight".
"And what were they doing when you last saw them?".
"Didn't you see anything unusual in the surroundings?"
"No. Why you ask?".
"Well, since this morning we have tried to contact them and their phones were off at the time. And we tried to call them again five minutes ago and they still haven't answered".
"How weird. I almost to the lookout post. I'll call you again when I find out what is happening".
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your call."
After closing the call, he returned to the room, saw that the children were still watching TV, and returned with Nick, Judy, and Jack. She explained that her contact (to whom she did not reveal her name) was on the way and that they would have to wait for her call to get the answers they wanted. They had no choice but to wait, although that only caused them more concern if something bad happened to happen to them.
At the same time the fox and the two rabbits were wondering who the person Finnick contacted might be. They only hoped that he was not a criminal or worse, since considering his dark past, they would not be surprised if the person he spoke to was not an ordinary person.
They passed by waiting for twenty five minutes, during which no one had said a word, the only sound that could be heard was that of the television in the room where the children were still watching a cartoon they liked. At least as long as they weren't involved in adult concerns, everything would be fine for the time being. They already had several things to think about and it was not good that the concern that their grandfather and grandmothers would not answer and that something bad could have happened to them would make them have a bad time, it had been enough with what happened to them at the weekend and they weren't going to let this situation make them feel bad again.
After a few seconds Finnick's phone started ringing once more, he answered, although without saying the name of the person he was speaking with. And since they were all a bit separated from each other; Nick, Judy, and Jack couldn't hear if Finnick was talking to a boy or a girl. They could not hear half of the conversation and what Finnick was saying did not help them to know at first what they were saying, just by the expression on his face they could tell that something bad had not happened, but if it was a little Strange they didn't answer their phones. After the call ended, Finnick put his phone in his pants pocket.
"And then what did tell you?" Nick asked.
"Well, my contact said that the apartment is normal and tidy, but there is no one in it. There are no signs of a fight nor was the door broken. Although all the curtains and windows were closed," Finnick replied.
"And how did it get into the apartment without the key? Don't tell me your contact is a thief?" Judy asked.
"No, nothing like that. But I vowed never to say anything about who is or what does, it's for everyone's safety" Finnick replied.
They all began to wonder what other kinds of shady secrets Finnick had that he hadn't told them, and that even Nick himself didn't know.
"Well, putting that part aside, he told you something else of importance" asked Jack.
"Yes, when went to the rooms, their clothes were not there, apparently they left the apartment, but they left no sign of where they went. So they could be anywhere in Zootopia right now or they could have even gone to Bunnyburrow. Maybe that's why they don't answer, if they are in the middle of the trip and their phones are turned off, maybe they are discharged" answered Finnick.
"Then we have no choice but to wait for them to call us" said Judy.
"Yeah, at least the part that something happened to them is out for now," Nick said.
Jack fell silent, as he began to suspect something, but decided to keep it for the moment, as he wanted to be sure of something first.
Well, so far the chapter. I hope you liked it. And the mystery of where Stu, Bonnie and Mrs. Wilde went will be solved soon.
