Record 6 - The GMT/CodeLittleCat
A new day, another terrible awakening for the cadets of the class of 2016, summer was in full swing.
They continued with their first quarter routine of training, based primarily on the physical. Against all odds, the fox was standing out from his peers. His friend's advice and stories had helped him avoid her own mistakes.
"I remember I was close to failing from the first quarter, I couldn't against the ecosystem track at all, until I started training extra, analyzing my failures during the day. The next day I couldn't feel my legs, but, by the final test, I blew everyone away."
- That suicidal doe. - He sighed in exhaustion before collapsing on the grass. - Five hours of training... What the hell was I thinking when I agreed!
- I... start... to... think the same thing...- The young buffalo came crawling towards him. - I feel like I'm going to die.
- Easy, Edy my bro, you only fainted 3 times today. - The fox laughed while his companion looked at him with annoyance. - Calm down cow face, I'm sure you'll make it.
- Do you really think so, Nick?
- Of course not, Wilde wouldn't bet on a loser like you. - The elephant sneered at them. - Neither of you two will make it through GMT!
- What the hell is GMT? - Nick faced him, until the polar bear and her deep voice broke into the conversation.
- The "Great Mortal Test", Wilde. The first great physical test that will determine whether you're police material or not, so, if I were you squalid slackers, I'd be careful.
The bear walked away, enjoying the terrified faces of the cadets.
- That means... Isn't this the worst? - The buffalo almost stifled a scream worthy of a horror movie when Trunkers' hippo friend pushed him away.
- Of course not! Especially not for useless little girls like you!
- Hey calm down Hipoz! This isn't middle school, you're supposed to be an adult. - The fox tried to get between the hippo and the young buffalo.
- A rat former swindler like you is going to give me morality lessons? - The big elephant confronted him.
- So, were you...
- I was what? Thief. Be careful what you say, you know you could be defaming.
The elephant narrowed his eyes at him. The fox was about to step forward to confront the guy... until a little voice started to sound in his mind…
"You may, and quite certainly will, encounter mammals as unpleasant as the Commissioner at the Academy... promise me you won't listen to them."...
- Oh Carrots, how you control me from distance! - He thought to himself.
"Just promise Nick, you mustn't forget that this is your chance to prove them wrong all this time, believe me, it will be worth it once it's all over...".
- Ok, ok I promised! - He shouted in annoyance, starting to turn around.
- Who was he talking to? - asked the hippopotamus as his friend looked at him and the buffalo ran after Nick.

Recording - Hopps 1-F
Well, my first month as an active police officer has been... interesting. There hasn't been a big crime, which is good for the city, but something that doesn't help the progress of my experience. I want to be an expert in police matters by the time my partner is finished.
Everything has been wonderful, in every video call of the last 45 days, I have seen the real tiredness in Nick, so I am more than sure he is giving it his all, so I must do the same. Last night before I left, Bogo asked me to go see him before the Bullpen! I'm so excited, it sounded like an interesting mission. I can't wait!

…
- Have a seat Hopps.
The Buffalo did the same, as he watched the little officer struggle with the height of her chair.
- Tell me Chief, what can I do for you?
- It's a rather important task. But first, how up to date are you on city politics?
- Well, I understand that so far, the interim secretary is the one who has been in charge of the city in the absence of the mayor, who was a couple of years away from the end of his term.
- Exactly. Finally last night the trial against Bellwether ended and she was found guilty without parole.
- Which seems fair enough to me, sir. - A small smile appeared, lighting up her big purple eyes.
- That's right... her guilt was proven... and Lionhearth's innocence.
- His what? - The girl screamed, rising up in her chair, and causing the buffalo to cover his ears.
- As you heard it, Bellwether being the guilty one, they let him off the hook.
- He disappeared all those poor mammals! We had proven it!
- Well, maybe, but he was "manipulated by greater forces".
- Anything is a "force majeure" for that selfish cat.
- I can understand your personal feelings, but if you want to be an officer, you will have to learn to protect everyone, including the restored mayor, who has asked me to be his personal escort this week when he resumes work... - He said almost in a whisper.
- What I... WHAT! Chief, that's not...
- Officer, the mayor has asked you for his protection. You are finally being recognized and reinstated in the team, don't you think you should at least be more grateful and behave at the height of the situation?
Although she did not shout, her deeply serious voice cut the doe internally, like long, sharp blades.
- You're right sir, I'm sorry.
- As I mentioned before, I understand your feelings and how he behaved afterwards, his terrible statements, washing his paws, blaming us, but, this is your chance to show him who you are and if he tries to get... difficult, I always look out for my officers, but you...
- But I have to be professional... Okay sir, I won't let you down. - She ducked her gaze, feeling tied up in knots, she knew it, the buffalo was right.
- I thought so, so now pick three officers and coordinate, here is Lionheart's itinerary for the week. Dismissed!- The bunny closed the door.
- Oh that guy is a huge...!
A huge brown mass landed on the tray of the fox and his friend.
- I've never understood what the heck this is.
- Don't even my dear Edd, we don't want to know. - They both took a seat and the fox looked absently at his cell phone.
- Are you expecting a call? Is it from your girlfriend?
- Girlfriend? What girlfriend? Spongy.
- That July you talk to every night.
- You should eat, you're already hallucinating.
Slick Nick:
Hey Carrots! Could you tell me why you didn't warn me about GMT!
Carrots:
Well, that's because it's secret, you're supposed to show what genuinely goes on
Once you graduate you can't talk about it.
Slick Nick:
Something along the lines of: what happens at the Academy, stays at the Academy?
Carrots:
Yeah, something like that.
In fact, it's weird that you know it exists, it's supposed to be a secret.
Slick Nick:
Not to this brilliant fox.
What's that about the big 95?
As the message reached and she read it, she almost dropped it, totally flustered.
Carrots:
I have no idea, never heard of that in my generation. It must be new.
Slick Nick:
They say it's from last year, so... bad-liar bunny... What happened?
Something to do with my future partner?
Carrots:
No.
Look, I have to take care of the useless Lionheart
just concentrate and show what you're made of.
Better just try hard... Good luck! :)
- That was close... - She turned off her cell phone screen and shivered as a deep voice appeared behind her.
- Officer Hopps! I'm so glad to see you, and already under better circumstances, I might add. - The lion smiled with his classic politician's pose.
- Yes... I am delighted. - She forced a smile, the fakest she could remember since she congratulated her sister Jane on her wedding, but that's a story for later. - I was just checking your schedule, I see the first thing is to visit the Zootopia General Hospital, Then the Little Paws Home House, a... mane retouching?
- That's right, extremely important.
- And we end with the press conference to talk about your restitution. Shouldn't that come first?
- Of course not, they must see that we work before everything else, you must understand, from the case you don't stop being a trend.
- Yes... - Said the bunny with total anger. - I don't like it at all.
-You must take advantage of it, Hopps, attention is power... and you won't be a cute young bunny forever, let's go! The limousine is waiting for us.
- He called me cute?
- Take it easy, stop. - Wolfard stopped her by holding her arm. - Remember he's the boss again.
- But it's just...- She struggled in the wolf's arms.
- And you'd be discharged if you killed him.
- Let's go now! - Cried the doe, climbing into the limousine.
- It's going to be an... interesting journey. - Smiled the tigress.
- Let's bet how long it takes Hopps to attack him.

Recording - Wilde 1-F
Everything has been uncertain since my last message with Cottontail, the training routine and classes remain the same, and my secret "bullies", who have been leaving me threats and bad taste jokes, are still not showing up, which by the way I haven't tell to miss little cute bunny, nor will I tell her. She is worse, she is a mother taking care of her young when she gets angry, besides I want to overcome this by myself, to prove to myself that I am capable of leaving all that behind.
I just want this stupid test to start, I'm sick of it!
Stop Recording- Wilde 1-F
…
Friedkin has just finished her shower after her arduous training. As an instructor, she had to set an example for the cadets. She put on her cap and grabbed the folders with the GMT sheets.
- I can't wait to see how they fall. - She smiled complacently, when her cell phone rang. - Friedkin here.
- Hi Agatha, it's Bogo.
- And, why do I've the pleasure of getting a call from the big boss of precinct one?
- I always call you to see how it's going. Usually mid-August is the GMT.
- That's right, it's precisely in about half an hour.
- I see... and you, well...
- You want me to point out how your fox is doing, don't you?
- I'd be lying if I said no. Do you think he'll be ready?
- After the elephant twins, he's the best. He's been improving, slowly, but he has improved, don't worry, Rhinowhitz is about to arrive to help us. Don't be an overprotective dad.
- Of course I don't care about that fox over the others! I was just curious. Goodbye. - The buffalo quickly hung up.
- That old buffalo and his phony facade... - The bear was about to sit down when her cell phone rang again. - Friedkin.
- Hello Major! How are you? How's it going? How's everything?
- Hopps! Why am I not surprised by your call? It's the 15th this week... and it's just Wednesday.
- Upsie, I didn't know I had called you so much, I was just wondering...
- Yes, your fox is still alive and improving. - Complimented the trainer. - Breathe and get back to work, he'll be fine.
- But it's just that I...
- Over and out. - She ended the call with a sigh. - Boy, does that fox have his own cheerleading club!
The polar bear was about to sit down when someone knocked on the door.
- Holy salmon! Doesn't anyone know what "free time" means?
- Sorry Major. - Spoke the voice of the fearful secretary. - The officers in charge of the test have arrived.
- Finally some good news! I'm going to the isolation bunker.
The trainer left in a hurry, taking care not to be interrupted, not noticing the unconscious rhinoceros lying in the reception area.
Meanwhile, oblivious to everything, the cadets were at dinner time, trying to eat whatever was on the plate. The clock read 7 pm.
- My record is 400 pounds. - Sumatran showed his muscles to his fellow cadets.
- That's nothing! I can lift 800 pounds. - Cadet Zola sneered at the rhino.
- Carrying things is not as important as running, it can save your life. - Javan boasted.
- You rhinos and my little sister are so pathetic, in all the tests I have been the best. I will be the best graduate that ZPA has ever had and go to precinct one.
The elephant was bragging when a laugh from the back of the dining hall interrupted him.
- What's so funny fox? - When Trunkers said the word "fox" he meant it with noticeable disdain.
- To be honest, everything was funny, but especially the part about, "I'll be the best graduate the ZPA has ever had."
- I don't see what's funny fox, you haven't managed to beat me.
- You have not won to the real best cadet, who always will be the best, Officer Hopps. You are way below her scores.
- That bunny was just an accident. As soon as I graduate, Bogo will be so pleased with me that he'll make her go back to parking meters where she never should have left. Only large mammals are real cops.
Famous last words. The elephant cadet had not finished speaking when the fox's strong fist hit him.
- What the hell is wrong with you bastard?
- Don't you ever disrespect her again!
- What do you care what I believe about her or not?
They all started looking at him, waiting for his answer. The fox had endured rotting flesh in his closet, losing clothes, beatings, insults and hadn't said a word, until today.
- Uh... Nick.
- Yes Edd?
- Why are you so offended?
As the news of the Bellwether conspiracy broke, Nick Wilde's name appeared in the articles and briefly caught the attention of some mammals, most of whom were following the heroine and strong police bunny. Wanting to fight speciesism, Nick didn't want to reveal his friendship with Judy for fear of being accused of favoritism.
- Well, I meant…
Feeling moderately relieved at the interruption, Nick felt the large animals grab him by the neck and throw him into one of the isolation rooms.
- I hope you go back to the dump where you should never have come from, you criminal!
The voices drifted away, as the fox thumped the wall helplessly.
- Those bastards don't know who they've messed with.
Meanwhile, Judy sighed in annoyance, she was fed up with the "hypocrisy tour" with the mayor, wondering how people still believed in his same old mawkish and false words.
- It seems that some mammals have no memory. 7:10 pm, great, only twenty minutes to go...
- Ready Hopps? The conference is about to start, isn't it exciting? - The lion smiled as he posed for himself in the mirror.
- Yes sir, incredibly amazing.
- And wait till you see my big surprise at the end, it will blow everyone away.
- I can't wait. In the meantime I'll get some water.
The bunny turned to go into the hallway of the TV studio, when she bumped into a young lioness who looked very nervous.
- Excuse me officer, it was my fault.
- Don't worry, you're in a hurry... - She studied her a little with her amethyst eyes. - Do we know each other?
- Oh no, I'm Fiona Lionhearth, who you know is my uncle.
- Poor you... I mean. - Grief gripped the officer.
- Don't worry Officer, I know very well who my uncle is, I am being his new assistant while I finish studying law. It's time for a young mind with a real desire to work to take charge of the city.
- That's really… comforting, I hope you're lucky! You already have my vote.
- It's an honor, now with your permission I must assist my uncle, you know, we are in "Little cat code" - The young laughed as she walked away from her.
- She's good. I'd better go backstage and...
- Judy? Do you copy me? Over. - The cheetah's voice came over the radio at the girl's waist.
- Clawhauser? Is something wrong? Tell me you got something to get me out of here!
- Actually... I do have something, but it's bad news.
- So what is it?
- It's the ZPA... was taken over by terrorists.
- WHAT? Nick...
- Yes, I'm afraid... Judy? Judy? Are you there?
But the frightened receptionist officer heard nothing but static.
To be continued…
Hello there! I'm here again with a new adventure. I've planned the majority of plots of the story and it's very funny because now that I wrote this one, I noticed that an extra chapter will be necessary. Now I'm in the beautiful stage in which one the story is alive and writes itself! What do you think? Let me read you!
