A lion cub.” Wolford said mournfully as he pointed to the “remains” where Snarloff was already taking pictures. Just as with the others....there only remained the “Halks” and the “Rump roast” with the cub’s lion tail stretched out. The upper portion of the body was gone, the hind legs cut off and as with the other two found remains....the remnant stunk of Chlorox bleach. Judy stood by Snarloff as he continued to take pictures. “Everything has been left as found Judy.”\n\n “Cameras?” Judy asked.\n\n “We’re having a crew come down to download all the platform cams. There’s no cams in the tunnel section that cover this spot. Makes me think our bastard or bastards knew what they were doing and that they had this spot all planned in advance.” The polar bear said with a growl...”Let me get my claws on this mammal and I’ll rip his fricken neck open...”\n\n Snarloff watched as Judy began to use a tape measure on the remains....”Doesn’t the freeze box crew” (Coroner) do all that?”\n\n “Not to the extent I’m going.” Judy replied as she measured and made notes. She paused to look carefully at how the lion tail was so carefully pointed. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a child’s small compass...”Ok.....North is that way....”\n\n Wolford stood next to Judy and moved his head in a curious German Shepherd quiz motion...”Seriously? You’re taking a compass reading of the tail?”\n\n “Every facet of mathematics can’t be over looked here.” Judy replied. “You know us bunnies and math “Wol-fee”? It’s a compulsive obsession for us.” Judy said as she pulled a pair of blue nitrite gloves from her pocket and began to measure the severed locations on the remains...\n\n “I suspect when these measurements are compared to the previous two? The scale will be the same.” Judy said as she made notes...\n\n “Scale?” Wolford asked. “You have me curious Judy.”\n\n “The previous two sets of remains were severed at the torso and the legs to an exact scale of measurements so a larger mammal’s cuts, if you scaled the measurements mathematically? Equal the measurements of the smaller mammal.” Judy said...which left poor Wolford shaking himself silly...\n\n “You are blowing my mind Judy.....really? I’m just a flat paw beat cop, I’m not into this “figure-tology” stuff.” Wolford said. “You think this mammal’s leaving us clues?”\n\n “ Leaving ”Teasers” is more the description.” Judy replied as she even started measuring distance points from the remains to the nearest vertical solids like the tunnel support stanchions or concrete walls. “He wants us to figure him out....or she because this could just as well be a female as a male. One thing’s for sure? They know how to find their locations and chart their approaches so we don’t catch them on camera.”\n\n Wolford pursed his lips....”Perhaps we’re dealing with moles?”\n\n Judy smirked in reply...”Very perceptive thinking. Look for any dig holes if you can.” Judy said as she stood up. “No Wolf-ee, I’m actually serious. Let’s not leave anything un-turned.”\n \n[b]Day 2\n5:30am\nHome of the Gray family\n57 Russell Street, Chestnut Town, Rainforest District[/b][b][/b]\n\n Alex gently petted Will’s head....”Morning big brother.” The wolf cub said as he gestured to the breakfast plate on the serving tray. “Pup tarts and juice?’\n\n Will sat up smirking. “What’s this for?”\n\n “Just to show you I care.” Alex replied. “Didn’t want you to feel bad all day since you are going to make a complete clown of yourself.”\n\n “If you think this will protect you from my eventual wrath Alex, you are sorely mistaken.” Will snorted. “But thank you for this any way.”\n\n “You’re still thinking that I set you up?” Alex huffed. “That hurts big brother! That really hurts me.”\n\n “I know you.” Will replied smirking. “This is your last chance to come clean. If you did conspire with Morgan and you tell me now? I’ll still go through the mall and I won’t plot revenge on you.”\n\n “Hmph!” Alex huffed back. “No way! You lost. You’re the one who doubted me big brother. It’s me who has the right to gloat.”\n\n Will ran his paw through his little brother’s head tuft. “How’s your arm feeling?”\n\n “Eh? Still sore.” Alex replied as he rubbed his bandaged pitching arm. “I’m going to help our back up pitcher Nicky Whips get better control of her throws since she’ll be pitching for us for the next three weeks.”\n\n Will bit into a “pup tart”....”Mmmm....(chewing) is she good?”\n\n “She needs a few tips.” Alex replied. “She’s a little un-balanced and wild when she throws? I think maybe it’s her “inner kitty” wanting the ball and she’s fighting to keep from “pawing” the heck out of it.”\n\n “Well....thank you for my breakfast.” Will said smiling. “But remember? I’ll be watching for you to slip up.”\n\n “Hmph! Prick.” Alex yelped.\n\n “That’s what older brothers are you little snit.” Will replied with a toothy grin.\n\n[b]Day two\n6:00am\nNick and Judy’s house\nDowntown Zootopia[/b][b][/b]\n\n Judy wasn’t back yet and the little one was trying to dig himself into Nick’s chest against the chill in the room...\n\n “Kiss”.....”Mmmmm....who’s my little snuggly wuggles?” The fox said as he gently hugged his son...\n\n “Where’s mommy?” Jackson asked sleepishly.\n\n “Mommy is doing what Mommy does...leaving Daddy with a paw full of trouble.” Nick replied. “What do you say we don’t get up Jackson? Wanna sleep late with Daddy?”\n\n “Uh huh....” Jackson replied as he snuggled closer...”Can we go see Gamma and Ganny (Stu and Bonnie).\n\n “Today?” Nick asked. “You want me to take the day off of work so we can spend the day watching Daddy get trampled by hundreds of bunnies huh? You think that’s a nice thing huh?”\n\n Jackson looked at Nick with a toothy grin....”YES!”\n\n “I will have to call your mother and get her permission.” Nick replied as he pulled himself into a sit up. “You’re going to have to help me hustle Mommy ok? Let me see your “please pouty face”?”\n\n Jackson put on a cute “please may I” pitiful expression with sad eyes which caused his father to giggle...”You? Are a chip off your Daddy’s block. I’ll make a scam artist out of you in no time huh?” Nick said as he gently kissed Jackson’s nose. “That’s my little kitten.” He said as he punched up Judy’s number....\n\n “Beep. Beep. Beep.”.....”Hello Nick.”\n\n “Judy? I have in our bed a certain youngster who right now is pouting at me because I told him “Naaaaaoooh.....We are not going to go see Grandpa and Grandma because your mother and I are too busy. He refuses to take no for an answer.”\n\n Jackson leaned into the phone....”Pleeeeeeease mama? Pleeeeese?”\n\n “Nick? If you want to take the day off and take Jackson on a father and son lark? Then go ahead. But don’t go off doing something crazy with our son there Mister Fox?!” Judy warned.\n\n “Judy? Since when have I ever dared to do anything that would not meet the approval of my beloved spouse?” Nick said as he raised a paw finger. “I have always been completely trustworthy with our son.”\n\n “Ok....” Judy replied. “The back flow from the toilet is reaching here and I’m climbing onto a desk....I mean it Nick! No involving Jackson in any scams! No misbehaving at my parents house! No weaseling of any kind or so help you....”\n\n Nick gasped. “Judy? I would never involve our son in any shenanigans and for you to make such an intimation is to me a deeply offensive suggestion that denotes not a loving and caring spouse but a stinking rat. You my dear have so offended my sensitive nature that I can not utter my displeasure aloud to risk offending the innocent and soft ears of our noble child...”\n\n “I’m hanging from the ceiling fan now, the bull snit tsunami has reached epic proportions.” Judy replied. “Nick? Just please? Don’t use our son for any scams? Please?”\n\n “Judy?” Nick replied. “Don’t worry. Keep doing your awesome work, catch the bastard responsible for these horrendous murders and I will give our son the enjoyable time with family he richly deserves for being our blessed little cherub.”\n\n Nick stopped the call and looked at Jackson. “How was that Jackie?”\n\n “You took too long Daddy.” Jackson replied.\n\n Nick settled back into the bed....”Two more hours of sleep should do us both good. I’ll call Grandma and Grandpa when we wake up and tell them we’re coming.”\n\n[b] 6am\nHome of Morgan the Corgi pup\n82 Vixenville Ave, Rainforest District[/b][b][/b]\n\n “Yie! Yie!” Morgan jumped up in her bed and slapped her paws over her smarting lower lip! “Ouch! Ako?!” She snapped at her friend as she lay on her lap....\n\n “Oops....sorry....otter habits you know?” Ako replied smiling. “I warned you about us otters and our dreaming about fish.”\n\n “My lip is not a fish!” The grumpy Corgi said as she slipped off the bed. “Sheesh....those teeth are sharp as razors.”\n\n Ako pulled some tissues from a box and dabbed Morgan’s bleeding lip. “I am so, so sorry.”\n\n “Can’t say I’m not fully awake now huh?” Morgan said as she opened her mouth to let Ako put pressure on the cut lip...\n\n “You talk in your sleep.” The otter said.\n\n “No I don’t!” Morgan replied.\n\n “Yeah.....you do.” Ako replied. “Why do you want to go on a date with a dead bear?”\n\n “What?” Morgan asked as she held the tissues to her lip.\n\n “Oh Elvis...You’re my dream come true....”kiss” “kiss”...” Ako said as she stood on her hind legs and clasped her paws together. “Oh Elvis...Yummy yum yum....”\n\n “You’re nuts.” Morgan yipped.\n\n Ako snatched her smart phone and brought up the camera....”Yes! I recorded it. Look at you on your back with your tongue hanging out!”\n \n Morgan frowned...”If you sent that out to Pawtube, I will kill you.”\n\n “Of course I wouldn’t do that.” Ako replied. “If and only if? You! You?......You make up with Alex Gray and kiss him.”\n\n “WHAT?!” Morgan screamed! “NO WAY IN HELL AKO!”\n\n “Then? I just press the “send” button.” Ako smiled as she fingered her phone.\n\n “YOU LITTLE OIL COVERED SNAKE!” Morgan yelled.\n\n “Mustalde....get it correct girl.” Ako giggled. “Do you? Or do I?”\n\n Outside the room....Morgan’s mother’s girlfriend Brittany came out of the bathroom and right into a struggle between the angry little corgi female and her friend the otter who stayed over night!\n\n “WOE?!” The female Shelty snapped and jumped as she sought to avoid the slippery, body flopping chaos erupting over the second floor!\n\n “GIVE ME THAT PHONE AKO?!” Morgan yelped loudly as she struggled to keep hold of the laughing otter!\n\n “DON’T YOU LOVE NATURAL BODY OILS?!” Ako snapped back! “YEEHAAA!”\n\n “Oh!” Morgan noised exasperated. “GIVE ME THAT PHONE YOU DORKUS!”\n\n “Accept my demands or go public?!” Ako yipped!\n\n Kelly came running up and snatched her daughter by a wrist and Ako by her tail! “Both of you want to explain why you’re making a mess of my second floor hallway?”\n\n Morgan pointed and scowled. “Momma! Ako has some nasty things on her smart phone!”\n\n “Ako? Let me see?” Kelly demanded. After a minute of watching....Kelly chuckled.....”Awwwww.... this is so adorable!”\n\n “It is not!” Morgan yipped! \n\n “Well honey?” Kelly said. “You’ve always loved Elvis. There’s nothing embarrassing about having crushes. But Ako? Really? This isn’t very appropriate...especially when Morgan is in her pink Power Puff panties.”\n\n “Muuuuuther? Do you mind not blurping it out?!” Morgan snapped! “Give me that phone!”\n\n “I.....think I better keep my paws on this for now you two.” Kelly snickered.\n\n “Hmph!” Morgan snorted. “Serves you right Ako! Now you don’t have your phone!”\n\n But Kelly gestured...”Morgan? If I have to hold Ako’s? Then fair is fair. Give me yours too.”\n\n “Oh but Momma!” Morgan yipped. “She’s the one who took lewd pictures of me!”\n\n “They were hardly “lewd”.” Kelly said smiling. “But knowing you? I can’t trust you not to try something yourself. Go get your phone.”\n\n “Grumble....grumble....silly otter.....grumble....grrrrrrrr.” Morgan stomped into her room and came out to slap her phone into her mother’s paw.....”Here! And NO Ako! Now that you don’t have your phone?! I won’t kiss Alex Gray!”\n\n Ako smiled...”Give it time.” The female otter cub said giggling. “Soon Elvis will fall to be replaced by Alex as your new fawn idol.”\n\n “Bite me you slippery snake!” Morgan huffed!\n\n “Mustalde?” Ako replied.\n\n “Oh whatever! If I didn’t like you so much Ako? You’d be in the street on your rump right now!” Morgan huffed as she pouted.\n\n Ako walked up and planted a kiss on Morgan’s cheek. “Forgive-eees?”\n\n “Yeah.....” Morgan replied as she gave Ako a hug. “Like I can stay angry at you for like a minute huh?”\n\n Ako smiled. “Mall trip?”\n\n Morgan smiled back. “Mall trip.” \n\n[b]Day Two\nZPD Headquarters, First Precinct “First Prinky”\nDowntown Zootopia\n7am[/b][b][/b]\n\n “Lieutenant Hopps!” A small voice screamed from someplace as Judy came into the precinct from the parking lot. She turned to see Reno the lab mouse waving a sheet of paper in his paw. “Confirmation on the identity of victim number one....‭Willy Wathgate from Deer Brook Creek.”\n\n‭ Judy looked at the sheet of paper and frowned. “As I suspected. Reported missing from the local playground. All they found was his glove and ball. The abductor wore rubber boots.”\n\n‭ “You found another last night?” Reno asked as Judy picked him up and settled him onto her shoulder as she walked.\n\n‭ “Yes....a lion cub. You should be getting samples and other evidence in the hour. I think, however, that my hypothesis has been confirmed. There is no doubt that a serial killer is prowling through Zootopia and there’s nothing clumsy nor random in his methods, I think we’re dealing with a mammal who has a very hyper affliction of ATD/OCD. At least that’s what I’m finding from a mathematical aspect.” Judy said as she walked up the stairs towards Chief Bogo’s office.\n\n‭ “What are you going to propose to the Chief?” Reno asked.\n\n‭ “I’m going to tell him we should do a full court “Castle Bravo” and make this mammal’s life as miserable as possible.” Judy replied.\n\n‭ Reno snatch Judy’s ear and tugged it hard! “Ouch! Reno?!”\n\n‭ “If I were you Judy? I’d forgo the extremes.” Reno said as he sat on her shoulder. “Do you want this killer to change their M.O.? They might just do that any way now that they’re 3 for 3, you “never” interrupt the flow of an OCD afflicted mammal.”\n\n‭ “You’re suggesting we just sit an allow them to get un-hindered access to more little ones?” Judy replied sternly.\n\n‭ “Judy? They have plenty already. No doubt victims two and three are going to be found as two more from our missing/abductions case loads. There hasn’t been a fresh abduction in the last three weeks, I’ve checked that assumption. When you talk to Bogo? Please don’t recommend anything extreme as a reaction, I know what I’m talking about ok?”\n\n‭ Judy smiled...”I’ve never been known to doubt you Reno.”\n\n‭ “I hope not.” Reno replied. “Rodents have to keep their reputations solid you know.”\n\n‭[b]Chief Bogo’s Office[/b][b][/b]\n\n‭ Judy walked into Bogo’s office...”Good morning Chief.”\n\n‭ “Number three.” Bogo said as he gestured to a seat. “Fill me in Hopps.”\n\n‭ Judy jumped onto the chair at Bogo’s desk. “Number three I believe confirms my hypothosis about our criminal Sir. The suspect displays an OCD tendency towards mathematical calculus. The “cuts” where body parts were removed, when scaled against all three victims comes out to 1:750 to 1.0 scale. All three victims were deposited by estimation between 12.2 to 12.4 hours apart from the previous. The latest victim, a lion cub, has his tail pointed out on a radial compass direction of 355 degrees. The adverse of 355 is 175. All my measurements between victim two and victim three are here in this folder Sir.”\n\n‭ Bogo took the folder and gave the papers inside a long look....”And you are certain this information is useful?”\n\n‭ “Very much useful.” Judy replied. “You’re talking to a math junkie Sir. I couldn’t help but approach this with a mathematical mind set, often serial killers employ mathematics as part of their patterns of behavior.”\n\n‭ Bogo sat silent for a moment tapping his hoof fingers on his desk. “What’s your best gut guess Judy? What kind of species are we dealing with here?”\n\n‭ “I’m not sure Chief.” Judy replied. “But? I’m leaning towards a herbivore. More often than not? Had this been a predator? They would be seriously out of character. A predator wouldn’t bother paying such attention to detail as this guy, the risk of apprehension is way too high. I also believe our suspect is scouting locations in advance or has already done that work prior to starting their activities.”\n\n‭ Bogo sat back and frowned. “You realize that your findings with only three victims so far hardly justifies take extreme measures...”\n\n‭ “I wasn’t going to suggest “Castle Bravo” Sir.” Judy replied with a raised paw. “On the contrary? We should do nothing drastic that would make this suspect change his Motus Operadai. If we force him to start staggering his actions and responses? We’ll be putting more innocent lives at risk than are already at his disposal.”\n\n‭ Chief Bogo crossed his big arms...”You’re going to tell me he is our chief abductor I assume?”\n\n‭ “Yes.” Judy replied. Let me handle the search for the missing youngsters Sir? I can handle it “under the rug” better than most, you know me.”\n\n‭ Bogo nodded. “Find this bastard Judy. Take him or them down as fast as you can and get those youngsters back...”\n\n‭ Judy nodded sternly. “Sir? We must steel ourselves for more victims to come if this suspect remains fixed to his schedule.”\n\n‭ “I trust you to do what you always do Wilde. Get it done, that’s all I’ll demand from you.” Bogo said.\n\n‭ Judy saluted firmly and walked from the office.\n\n‭[b]Day 2\n‭8am\nPack Street, Viola Gardens\nLegoshi’s apartment[/b][b][/b]\n\n “Ding dong” The door bell rang as Legoshi finished putting his breakfast dishes in his sink....\n\n “Coming!” The big wolf yelped as he ran. \n\n Bill stood grinning with a bag in his hand. “Goooood morning partner.” The tiger said as he pointed to his parcel. “A pair of nice thick steaks for us to enjoy this afternoon. I also brought a pack of beers.”\n\n “Cool.” Legoshi replied as he allowed Bill in. “Don’t fill up during lunch. We’re meeting with Luis.”\n\n “How is Lou?” Bill asked. “Don’t see much of him as of late since he became mayor.”\n \n “I think he pines for a return of the school days.” Legoshi said as he sat on his couch. “He asked me if I would consider doing the directing of one of his current shows.”\n\n “Wallace?” Bill asked. “You should! Have you seen it yet?! Legoshi? If you don’t help Luis out, I will so maul you. You were the expert of all directing experts! If people think “Wallace” is awesome now? With you? The house would fall in! It would be the epic to rival every masterful epic!”\n\n “I have to pull up my feet to escape the wave of snit.” Legoshi said as he lifted his feet off the floor.\n\n Bill slapped him off the head with one of his big paws...”Oh! Stop putting yourself down?! You know damn well you’re still good at what you went to school for?”\n\n “I joined the ZPD for a change of pace...as did you if I can remind you?” Legoshi replied. “And I’m not looking to “night owl” jobs... unlike you there mister exotic dancer.”\n\n “Back dancing for Gazelle is not “Night Owling”...it’s a hobby.” Bill replied. \n\n “Well your “hobby” gets you a lot of oogles but no hits.” Legoshi snickered. “Then again, with your fold infested butt, what tigress would show you any interest?”\n\n “For your information there....dog.” Bill snorted.\n\n “You call me a “dog” again Bill and I’ll show you a “dog’s” teeth on your tail.” Legoshi snorted.\n\n “I do indeed have an interest.” Bill replied. “Her name is exactly that...\"Tygreese” and she’s a martial artist and dance instructor for Gazelle’s crew. She could not resist my personality.”\n\n “Obviously she doesn’t notice your stink.” Legoshi snickered.\n\n “Grrrrrrrrr.....” Bill growled.\n \n “So? What’s she like in bed?” Legoshi asked. “Hmmmm? Details?”\n\n “None of your business.” Bill replied. “I’ll only say that her athletic condition makes for some wild contortionist poses...”\n\n “Translation? You haven’t tapped a thing yet.” Legoshi sighed.\n\n Bill looked at his watch. “The shopping Ginza doesn’t open until 9:30 so what should we do till then Legoshi?”\n\n “Continue talking about your lack of a sex life?” Legoshi replied.\n\n[b]Day two\n9am\nOver the Whitney Arson Bridge\nNick and Jackson on their way to Bunny Burrough[/b][b][/b]\n\n “Too well behaved.” Nick said as he paid the toll and drove over the Arson Bridge towards the Tri-Burroughs...\n\n “Huh?” Jackson looked at his father from his car seat in the passenger’s seat.\n\n “You are too well behaved.” Nick said smiling. “Come on Jackson? Fuss, cry, bother me....you know? Do the annoying things five-year-olds do like “What’s that daddy?” or “When are we going to be there Daddy?” or “Daddy? I want a drink...please, please, please....” Sheesh, your Godfather’s teaching is making you a bore.”\n\n “You want me to be bad Daddy?” Jackson asked.\n\n “Well? Not exactly bad but let me know you’re alive.” Nick replied. “You’re too well behaved and quiet.” Nick said as he looked at the book Jackson had in his paws. “What’s the book?”\n\n “Ummmm? Hairy Pawters.” Jackson replied as he waved the book at Nick.\n\n “It has pictures?” Nick asked.\n\n “Pictures are for babies and I’m not a baby.” Jackson said confidently.\n\n “Forgive me for asking my adult son. I had no idea you were so grown up.” Nick jested. \n\n “Godfather says I shouldn’t be bad at all because that would make my mommy and daddy sad and if I want something nice, I should be nice.” Jackson said.\n\n “Hey?!” Nick replied. “I’m the professional scam artist in this family! Me, myself and I alone. I am going to have a talk with your Godfather about his teachings...”\n\n “And then you’ll get “iced”.” Jackson yelped. “Ice! Ice! Ice!”\n\n Nick waved a paw finger. “Jackson?! Ice is bad...very bad. You don’t go around the house or with Mommy or Daddy yelling “Ice!” or “Ice em!” understand? No “ice”.....no, no, no.”\n\n “I’m sorry Daddy.” Jackson said innocently.\n\n Nick smiled...”Do you realize just how much better you’re growing up than Daddy did when he was your age? You are going to do big things Jackie. Bigger than Mommy and much bigger than your Daddy, I can see it right now. I am this big mega proud of you...” Nick said as he held his paws out....”This big!”\n\n “Don’t let go of the wheel Daddy!” Jackson screamed!\n\n “Oops!” Nick replied as he gripped the steering wheel. “Daddy was being stupid.”\n\n “Mommy would kick your ass!” Jackson innocently blurped out.\n\n “Uh? Jackson?” Nick warned. “You just said a bad word.”\n\n “It’s bad if you say it always?” Jackson replied. “Daddy? You say “ass” all the time.”\n\n “Daddy’s perogative little mammal.” Nick snickered. “When you’re an adult? You can say bad words all you want. Don’t say that word at Grandpa’s and Grandma’s house ok? That word will get your bottom spanked really hard.”\n\n Nick giggled as he leaned towards his son...”But? I’ll make sure I’m the spanker so your fluffy bottom stays cute and fluffy ok?”\n\n “Giggles......ok Daddy.” Jackson replied.\n\n Nick scratched his head as they drove past the Bunny Burrough sign. “I wonder if Bonnie’s pregnant again? Sheesh...how many rabbits can you handle in one house? What was the count the last time we were there? 279? I am sure glad we only decided on one child, I couldn’t handle three hundred diaper changes in a day.”\n\n Nick then turned to Jackson...”Jackson? Are you dry?”\n\n “Yes Daddy.” Jackson replied....then a second later....”Oops. Make that a no.”\n\n “Oh you little stinker.” Nick said as he shook his head. “You did that on purpose.”\n\n Jackson giggled back. “I was joking.”\n\n “My son is going to be a comedian too....ha ha ha.....very funny Jackie.”\n\n[b]Day two\n9:30am\nThe Rain Forest Central Mall[/b][b][/b]\n\n Alex all but high stepped into the front doors as Morgan and Ako met him...”Where’s the condemned?” Morgan asked.\n\n “He’ll be here in a bit. Has to get up the courage you know.” Alex said with a toothy grin. “I promised him we wouldn’t take any pictures ourselves but that doesn’t mean everyone in the mall won’t.” Alex turned to Ako....”Hi Ako! How’s the new house on Sahara Beach?”\n\n “Eh....It’s an otter house.” Ako replied with a shrug then she bumped her elbow into Morgan’s side. “Ah hem?”\n\n “I don’t have to do it now!” Morgan yipped.\n\n “I’ll let you slide.....for now.” Ako giggled.\n\n “Slide?” Alex asked as they stood waiting for Will. “What slide?”\n\n “Nothing.” Morgan snorted lightly. “Boy? Has your brother gone ice cubes or what?” The Corgi asked.\n\n “He’s coming.” Alex gestured.\n\n “He’s not wearing it.” Morgan snorted.\n\n “He has to change in the bathroom Morgan, sheesh...chill out.” Alex said shrugging.\n\n Will walked through the doors....”Good morning Morgan....you wicked witch you.”\n\n “That wasn’t called for Will!” Alex yipped.\n\n “Eh....desperation.” Morgan replied as she crossed her arms. “Well you can forget it because I have been so wrong about your darling little brother. Come here my “wiggly wolf-ee”....” Morgan grabbed Alex by a wrist, pulled him to her and she planted a wicked wet kiss on his lips!\n\n “Oh! Let’s just get this stupidity over with!” Will snapped as he grabbed Alex by a wrist and pulled him behind him towards a bathroom!\n\n “There! Was that enough for you?!” Morgan huffed at Ako.\n\n “Nah ah...” Ako replied shaking her head. “When I said “kiss”, you need to “kiss” like he’s a prince of the wolves!”\n\n Morgan huffed...”He’s a prince of wolf peter.”\n\n “Morgan?” Ako said as she wiggled her phone in her paw.\n\n “Why are you riding me Ako?!” Morgan huffed!\n\n “Because it’s fun and you don’t want to risk losing my friendship?” Ako replied smiling.\n\n “Ugh.....you otters are bat snit looney.” Morgan growled.\n\n “And you are just so cute when you get all huffy.” Ako replied as she played with Morgan’s locks.\n\n Inside the male’s bathroom....Will took his clothes off and smirked as he saw Alex gazing at him...”What?”\n\n “Why’s your thing like that?” Alex asked as he pointed to Will’s “excited partner.”\n\n “Because it’s chilly and I’m gonna make a complete fool out of myself for my weasel hearted little brother.” Will growled as he pulled a pair of Barney pampers from his back pack.\n\n “It’s not cold in here at all Will.” Alex said. “Isn’t \"that\" gonna make getting those Pampers on a little hard?”\n\n “It will if you keep looking at me! Turn around Alex?!” Will huffed.\n\n “But I’ve never seen it be like that.” Alex said. “Mine doesn’t do that. And what’s that ball?”\n\n Will gasped...”Alex?! Please stop gazing at my dong?!”\n\n “I’m just wondering about it Will?” Alex said as he started to pull his own shorts down...”I mean...mine doesn’t get hard...”\n\n “Ugh! Alex?!” Will yelped as he grabbed Alex’s shorts and jerked them up. “Do you mind?! Look! I’ll explain everything when we get home but right now? I just want to get this stupid thing done so you and Morgan can get your jollies off of it and I can live the rest of my life in a closet ok?”\n\n “Oh sheesh Will...” Alex huffed. “Like you’re the first of anyone who’s done crazy stuff in the mall? The high school seniors do pranks every year...like last year when you ran me out because a whole bunch of senior class wolves were “streaking” around?”\n\n “Alex? Just.....Just go outside and wait for me to come out ok?” Will begged.\n\n “You don’t need help?” Alex asked.\n\n “GO ALEX!” Will snapped back!\n\n “Sheeeesh.....Ok......Mister Cuke up the butt.” Alex growled as he walked out.\n\n Alex bumped into Morgan...”Is he ready yet? Me and Ako have to go with my Mom and her girlfriend for lunch soon.”\n\n “He’s almost there.” Alex said with a gesture. “I know you still want me to come over and serve you Morgan but can we be short about it today? I got some important stuff I have to do later.”\n\n “Sure.” Morgan replied. “Just don’t find an excuse to welsh it.”\n\n Ako giggled....”She loves you.”\n\n “I’d rather kiss a snake.” Morgan replied frowning.\n\n\n‭[b]Day two\n9:30am\nZPD Headquarters, First Precinct “First Prinky”\nHunter Task Force code named “Clock maker”[/b][b][/b]\n\n It didn’t take Judy long to pick who she wanted on the team to hunt down the serial predator...\"predator” not being a species....she gathered the officers around a collection of long tables pushed together where she laid out what evidence, documents and maps had been gathered thus far...\n\n “All right everyone.” Judy said as she hopped onto the tables and paced about the evidence with a stick pointer. “You’re all about to get a primer in mathematics here. I will go as slow as I can on this but we have to work fast because the next expected drop off by our suspect will happen somewhere between two and three pm. Everything he’s done for the past three victims has a carefully calculated mathematical sequence. I believe this creep is trying....begging us....to let us get close to him. Consider what he’s doing to be his “dope high”. Our task is to break his code and see if we can get our teeth on his ass.”\n\n Officer Jackson, a Bengal Tiger, snickered...”Judy? You sure you’re not part cat? And where’s Nick? You never do anything without the hubby close by.”\n\n “This time...I gave him a day off.” Judy said. “He’s taking our son to visit his grandparents in Bunny Burrough. Now...I’m not going to go into details as far as the autopsy reports on victims 1 to 3, what’s more important is the math dealing with how they were planted. The lay of the bodies, the pointing of tails, the distance of adjacent objects, the angles the spines were laid at...our suspect is laying out in detail a precise code that’s the same between all the victims; I believe this is going to tell us almost exactly where his next drop off will be.....though....not exactly on the mark...I can’t believe he’d be that risky.” \n\n Officer Delgato, an African plains Lion, leaned over the large topographical street map of Central Zootopia which included the City Center, Savanna Central and Sahara Square but left out Tundra Town.\n\n “Judy? Why isn’t Tundra Town anywhere? You don’t have a map included.” Delgato asked.\n\n “He’s not dropping in Tundra Town.” Judy replied. “At least for the moment. His math only points to the City Center...Savanna and Sahara.”\n\n Delgato stood rubbing his mane...”Ok then? Where do you believe the next drop will be? We have five and a half hours to his “window” and like a “Beguzeez” amount of places to cover.”\n\n Judy walked over the very large street map and slapped her paw down on it....”Here....Vornoy Plaza in the Palm District....West Sahara.”\n\n Officer Anderson, a polar bear, growled. “That’s a crazy place to try anything. It’s an oasis town with very few places to hide let alone drop off a carcass...unless we’re talking something small like a ferret or a field mouse.”\n\n Judy snatched up a folder and waved it at Anderson. “And in here among the missing are....four otters, a ferret and a pair of mice.”\n\n Anderson took the folder, looked at the papers inside then at the map. “My odds on an otter or ferret.”\n\n “Why?” Judy asked.\n\n “You said our suspect likes to scale his cuts between mammals so they’re all the same right? You tell me you can scale a mouse that easy.” Anderson said as he handed back the folder. “So what’s our plan of action? Can you give us the precise estimation here of exactly where the suspect might drop his package? And....sorry to treat a potential victim as “a package” but this suspect seems to be becoming a death mail mammal.” \n\n Judy pointed to the map again...”Adobe and Acrobat streets. There’s a large rock garden park there. We all go in plain clothes, play tourists and party goers. We have to cover the park and everything around it for a half a mile. It’s ten now so we better get organized and get on the streets fast. We’ll all meet for a tactical session at noon near the location.”\n\n[b]end of Chapter 6[/b][b][/b]\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"

Chapter 6


Day 2
3:30am
ZMAT Station Elm Street
North Savanna Central

      Judy had to flop over her husband, fall off their bed, struggle to get her uniform on and ran out the door looking like she had slept in the now very wrinkled tactical stretch suit to get to the call as fast as she could before some one forgot her earlier orders....”Do touch a damn thing before I get there!”

      It was Officer’s Wolford (Grey Wolf) and his partner Snarloff (Polar Bear) who responded to the 911 call from the platform manager of the subway station where the remains were discovered by a track maintenance crew...

     “Just as you described Judy.” Wolford said as he reached up from the track pit to grab and lower Judy down. “The track crew reported the find at 2:18.”
  
      “The victim?” Judy asked.

      “A predator this time. A lion cub.” Wolford said mournfully as he pointed to the “remains” where Snarloff was already taking pictures. Just as with the others....there only remained the “Halks” and the “Rump roast” with the cub’s lion tail stretched out. The upper portion of the body was gone, the hind legs cut off and as with the other two found remains....the remnant stunk of Chlorox bleach. Judy stood by Snarloff as he continued to take pictures. “Everything has been left as found Judy.”

       “Cameras?” Judy asked.

       “We’re having a crew come down to download all the platform cams. There’s no cams in the tunnel section that cover this spot. Makes me think our bastard or bastards knew what they were doing and that they had this spot all planned in advance.” The polar bear said with a growl...”Let me get my claws on this mammal and I’ll rip his fricken neck open...”

         Snarloff watched as Judy began to use a tape measure on the remains....”Doesn’t the freeze box crew” (Coroner) do all that?”

        “Not to the extent I’m going.” Judy replied as she measured and made notes. She paused to look carefully at how the lion tail was so carefully pointed. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a child’s small compass...”Ok.....North is that way....”

        Wolford stood next to Judy and moved his head in a curious German Shepherd quiz motion...”Seriously? You’re taking a compass reading of the tail?”

        “Every facet of mathematics can’t be over looked here.” Judy replied. “You know us bunnies and math “Wol-fee”? It’s a compulsive obsession for us.” Judy said as she pulled a pair of blue nitrite gloves from her pocket and began to measure the severed locations on the remains...

         “I suspect when these measurements are compared to the previous two? The scale will be the same.” Judy said as she made notes...

         “Scale?” Wolford asked. “You have me curious Judy.”

         “The previous two sets of remains were severed at the torso and the legs to an exact scale of measurements so a larger mammal’s cuts, if you scaled the measurements mathematically? Equal the measurements of the smaller mammal.” Judy said...which left poor Wolford shaking himself silly...

        “You are blowing my mind Judy.....really? I’m just a flat paw beat cop, I’m not into this “figure-tology” stuff.” Wolford said. “You think this mammal’s leaving us clues?”

         “ Leaving ”Teasers” is more the description.” Judy replied as she even started measuring distance points from the remains to the nearest vertical solids like the tunnel support stanchions or concrete walls. “He wants us to figure him out....or she because this could just as well be a female as a male. One thing’s for sure? They know how to find their locations and chart their approaches so we don’t catch them on camera.”

          Wolford pursed his lips....”Perhaps we’re dealing with moles?”

           Judy smirked in reply...”Very perceptive thinking. Look for any dig holes if you can.” Judy said as she stood up. “No Wolf-ee, I’m actually serious. Let’s not leave anything un-turned.”
 
Day 2
5:30am
Home of the Gray family
57 Russell Street, Chestnut Town, Rainforest District

         Alex gently petted Will’s head....”Morning big brother.” The wolf cub said as he gestured to the breakfast plate on the serving tray. “Pup tarts and juice?’

        Will sat up smirking. “What’s this for?”

        “Just to show you I care.” Alex replied. “Didn’t want you to feel bad all day since you are going to make a complete clown of yourself.”

         “If you think this will protect you from my eventual wrath Alex, you are sorely mistaken.” Will snorted. “But thank you for this any way.”

       “You’re still thinking that I set you up?” Alex huffed. “That hurts big brother! That really hurts me.”

       “I know you.” Will replied smirking. “This is your last chance to come clean. If you did conspire with Morgan and you tell me now? I’ll still go through the mall and I won’t plot revenge on you.”

      “Hmph!” Alex huffed back. “No way! You lost. You’re the one who doubted me big brother. It’s me who has the right to gloat.”

       Will ran his paw through his little brother’s head tuft. “How’s your arm feeling?”

       “Eh? Still sore.” Alex replied as he rubbed his bandaged pitching arm. “I’m going to help our back up pitcher Nicky Whips get better control of her throws since she’ll be pitching for us for the next three weeks.”

       Will bit into a “pup tart”....”Mmmm....(chewing) is she good?”

       “She needs a few tips.” Alex replied. “She’s a little un-balanced and wild when she throws? I think maybe it’s her “inner kitty” wanting the ball and she’s fighting to keep from “pawing” the heck out of it.”

       “Well....thank you for my breakfast.” Will said smiling. “But remember? I’ll be watching for you to slip up.”

      “Hmph! Prick.” Alex yelped.

      “That’s what older brothers are you little snit.” Will replied with a toothy grin.

Day two
6:00am
Nick and Judy’s house
Downtown Zootopia

      Judy wasn’t back yet and the little one was trying to dig himself into Nick’s chest against the chill in the room...

     “Kiss”.....”Mmmmm....who’s my little snuggly wuggles?” The fox said as he gently hugged his son...

     “Where’s mommy?” Jackson asked sleepishly.

     “Mommy is doing what Mommy does...leaving Daddy with a paw full of trouble.” Nick replied. “What do you say we don’t get up Jackson? Wanna sleep late with Daddy?”

      “Uh huh....” Jackson replied as he snuggled closer...”Can we go see Gamma and Ganny (Stu and Bonnie).

      “Today?” Nick asked. “You want me to take the day off of work so we can spend the day watching Daddy get trampled by hundreds of bunnies huh? You think that’s a nice thing huh?”

      Jackson looked at Nick with a toothy grin....”YES!”

      “I will have to call your mother and get her permission.” Nick replied as he pulled himself into a sit up. “You’re going to have to help me hustle Mommy ok? Let me see your “please pouty face”?”

      Jackson put on a cute “please may I” pitiful expression with sad eyes which caused his father to giggle...”You? Are a chip off your Daddy’s block. I’ll make a scam artist out of you in no time huh?” Nick said as he gently kissed Jackson’s nose. “That’s my little kitten.” He said as he punched up Judy’s number....

    “Beep. Beep. Beep.”.....”Hello Nick.”

    “Judy? I have in our bed a certain youngster who right now is pouting at me because I told him “Naaaaaoooh.....We are not going to go see Grandpa and Grandma because your mother and I are too busy. He refuses to take no for an answer.”

     Jackson leaned into the phone....”Pleeeeeeease mama? Pleeeeese?”

     “Nick? If you want to take the day off and take Jackson on a father and son lark? Then go ahead. But don’t go off doing something crazy with our son there Mister Fox?!” Judy warned.

     “Judy? Since when have I ever dared to do anything that would not meet the approval of my beloved spouse?” Nick said as he raised a paw finger. “I have always been completely trustworthy with our son.”

     “Ok....” Judy replied. “The back flow from the toilet is reaching here and I’m climbing onto a desk....I mean it Nick! No involving Jackson in any scams! No misbehaving at my parents house! No weaseling of any kind or so help you....”

      Nick gasped. “Judy? I would never involve our son in any shenanigans and for you to make such an intimation is to me a deeply offensive suggestion that denotes not a loving and caring spouse but a stinking rat. You my dear have so offended my sensitive nature that I can not utter my displeasure aloud to risk offending the innocent and soft ears of our noble child...”

    “I’m hanging from the ceiling fan now, the bull snit tsunami has reached epic proportions.” Judy replied. “Nick? Just please? Don’t use our son for any scams? Please?”

    “Judy?” Nick replied. “Don’t worry. Keep doing your awesome work, catch the bastard responsible for these horrendous murders and I will give our son the enjoyable time with family he richly deserves for being our blessed little cherub.”

     Nick stopped the call and looked at Jackson. “How was that Jackie?”

     “You took too long Daddy.” Jackson replied.

     Nick settled back into the bed....”Two more hours of sleep should do us both good. I’ll call Grandma and Grandpa when we wake up and tell them we’re coming.”

6am
Home of Morgan the Corgi pup
82 Vixenville Ave, Rainforest District

      “Yie! Yie!” Morgan jumped up in her bed and slapped her paws over her smarting lower lip! “Ouch! Ako?!” She snapped at her friend as she lay on her lap....

       “Oops....sorry....otter habits you know?” Ako replied smiling. “I warned you about us otters and our dreaming about fish.”

       “My lip is not a fish!” The grumpy Corgi said as she slipped off the bed. “Sheesh....those teeth are sharp as razors.”

       Ako pulled some tissues from a box and dabbed Morgan’s bleeding lip. “I am so, so sorry.”

       “Can’t say I’m not fully awake now huh?” Morgan said as she opened her mouth to let Ako put pressure on the cut lip...

       “You talk in your sleep.” The otter said.

       “No I don’t!” Morgan replied.

       “Yeah.....you do.” Ako replied. “Why do you want to go on a date with a dead bear?”

      “What?” Morgan asked as she held the tissues to her lip.

      “Oh Elvis...You’re my dream come true....”kiss” “kiss”...” Ako said as she stood on her hind legs and clasped her paws together. “Oh Elvis...Yummy yum yum....”

       “You’re nuts.” Morgan yipped.

      Ako snatched her smart phone and brought up the camera....”Yes! I recorded it. Look at you on your back with your tongue hanging out!”
  
      Morgan frowned...”If you sent that out to Pawtube, I will kill you.”

      “Of course I wouldn’t do that.” Ako replied. “If and only if? You! You?......You make up with Alex Gray and kiss him.”

      “WHAT?!” Morgan screamed! “NO WAY IN HELL AKO!”

      “Then? I just press the “send” button.” Ako smiled as she fingered her phone.

       “YOU LITTLE OIL COVERED SNAKE!” Morgan yelled.

       “Mustalde....get it correct girl.” Ako giggled. “Do you? Or do I?”

       Outside the room....Morgan’s mother’s girlfriend Brittany came out of the bathroom and right into a struggle between the angry little corgi female and her friend the otter who stayed over night!

      “WOE?!” The female Shelty snapped and jumped as she sought to avoid the slippery, body flopping chaos erupting over the second floor!

     “GIVE ME THAT PHONE AKO?!” Morgan yelped loudly as she struggled to keep hold of the laughing otter!

     “DON’T YOU LOVE NATURAL BODY OILS?!” Ako snapped back! “YEEHAAA!”

     “Oh!” Morgan noised exasperated. “GIVE ME THAT PHONE YOU DORKUS!”

     “Accept my demands or go public?!” Ako yipped!

     Kelly came running up and snatched her daughter by a wrist and Ako by her tail! “Both of you want to explain why you’re making a mess of my second floor hallway?”

     Morgan pointed and scowled. “Momma! Ako has some nasty things on her smart phone!”

     “Ako? Let me see?” Kelly demanded. After a minute of watching....Kelly chuckled.....”Awwwww.... this is so adorable!”

     “It is not!” Morgan yipped!

     “Well honey?” Kelly said. “You’ve always loved Elvis. There’s nothing embarrassing about having crushes. But Ako? Really? This isn’t very appropriate...especially when Morgan is in her pink Power Puff panties.”

     “Muuuuuther? Do you mind not blurping it out?!” Morgan snapped! “Give me that phone!”

      “I.....think I better keep my paws on this for now you two.” Kelly snickered.

      “Hmph!” Morgan snorted. “Serves you right Ako! Now you don’t have your phone!”

     But Kelly gestured...”Morgan? If I have to hold Ako’s? Then fair is fair. Give me yours too.”

     “Oh but Momma!” Morgan yipped. “She’s the one who took lewd pictures of me!”

     “They were hardly “lewd”.” Kelly said smiling. “But knowing you? I can’t trust you not to try something yourself. Go get your phone.”

     “Grumble....grumble....silly otter.....grumble....grrrrrrrr.” Morgan stomped into her room and came out to slap her phone into her mother’s paw.....”Here! And NO Ako! Now that you don’t have your phone?! I won’t kiss Alex Gray!”

      Ako smiled...”Give it time.” The female otter cub said giggling. “Soon Elvis will fall to be replaced by Alex as your new fawn idol.”

      “Bite me you slippery snake!” Morgan huffed!

     “Mustalde?” Ako replied.

     “Oh whatever! If I didn’t like you so much Ako? You’d be in the street on your rump right now!” Morgan huffed as she pouted.

      Ako walked up and planted a kiss on Morgan’s cheek. “Forgive-eees?”

      “Yeah.....” Morgan replied as she gave Ako a hug. “Like I can stay angry at you for like a minute huh?”

      Ako smiled. “Mall trip?”

      Morgan smiled back. “Mall trip.”

Day Two
ZPD Headquarters, First Precinct “First Prinky”
Downtown Zootopia
7am

      “Lieutenant Hopps!” A small voice screamed from someplace as Judy came into the precinct from the parking lot. She turned to see Reno the lab mouse waving a sheet of paper in his paw. “Confirmation on the identity of victim number one....‭Willy Wathgate from Deer Brook Creek.”

‭      Judy looked at the sheet of paper and frowned. “As I suspected. Reported missing from the local playground. All they found was his glove and ball. The abductor wore rubber boots.”

‭      “You found another last night?” Reno asked as Judy picked him up and settled him onto her shoulder as she walked.

‭      “Yes....a lion cub. You should be getting samples and other evidence in the hour. I think, however, that my hypothesis has been confirmed. There is no doubt that a serial killer is prowling through Zootopia and there’s nothing clumsy nor random in his methods, I think we’re dealing with a mammal who has a very hyper affliction of ATD/OCD. At least that’s what I’m finding from a mathematical aspect.” Judy said as she walked up the stairs towards Chief Bogo’s office.

‭      “What are you going to propose to the Chief?” Reno asked.

‭      “I’m going to tell him we should do a full court “Castle Bravo” and make this mammal’s life as miserable as possible.” Judy replied.

‭      Reno snatch Judy’s ear and tugged it hard! “Ouch! Reno?!”

‭     “If I were you Judy? I’d forgo the extremes.” Reno said as he sat on her shoulder. “Do you want this killer to change their M.O.? They might just do that any way now that they’re 3 for 3, you “never” interrupt the flow of an OCD afflicted mammal.”

‭     “You’re suggesting we just sit an allow them to get un-hindered access to more little ones?” Judy replied sternly.

‭     “Judy? They have plenty already. No doubt victims two and three are going to be found as two more from our missing/abductions case loads. There hasn’t been a fresh abduction in the last three weeks, I’ve checked that assumption. When you talk to Bogo? Please don’t recommend anything extreme as a reaction, I know what I’m talking about ok?”

‭      Judy smiled...”I’ve never been known to doubt you Reno.”

‭      “I hope not.” Reno replied. “Rodents have to keep their reputations solid you know.”

‭Chief Bogo’s Office

‭      Judy walked into Bogo’s office...”Good morning Chief.”

‭     “Number three.” Bogo said as he gestured to a seat. “Fill me in Hopps.”

‭      Judy jumped onto the chair at Bogo’s desk. “Number three I believe confirms my hypothosis about our criminal Sir. The suspect displays an OCD tendency towards mathematical calculus. The “cuts” where body parts were removed, when scaled against all three victims comes out to 1:750 to 1.0 scale. All three victims were deposited by estimation between 12.2 to 12.4 hours apart from the previous. The latest victim, a lion cub, has his tail pointed out on a radial compass direction of 355 degrees. The adverse of 355 is 175. All my measurements between victim two and victim three are here in this folder Sir.”

‭       Bogo took the folder and gave the papers inside a long look....”And you are certain this information is useful?”

‭       “Very much useful.” Judy replied. “You’re talking to a math junkie Sir. I couldn’t help but approach this with a mathematical mind set, often serial killers employ mathematics as part of their patterns of behavior.”

‭       Bogo sat silent for a moment tapping his hoof fingers on his desk. “What’s your best gut guess Judy? What kind of species are we dealing with here?”

‭       “I’m not sure Chief.” Judy replied. “But? I’m leaning towards a herbivore. More often than not? Had this been a predator? They would be seriously out of character. A predator wouldn’t bother paying such attention to detail as this guy, the risk of apprehension is way too high. I also believe our suspect is scouting locations in advance or has already done that work prior to starting their activities.”

‭     Bogo sat back and frowned. “You realize that your findings with only three victims so far hardly justifies take extreme measures...”

‭    “I wasn’t going to suggest “Castle Bravo” Sir.” Judy replied with a raised paw. “On the contrary? We should do nothing drastic that would make this suspect change his Motus Operadai. If we force him to start staggering his actions and responses? We’ll be putting more innocent lives at risk than are already at his disposal.”

‭    Chief Bogo crossed his big arms...”You’re going to tell me he is our chief abductor I assume?”

‭    “Yes.” Judy replied. Let me handle the search for the missing youngsters Sir? I can handle it “under the rug” better than most, you know me.”

‭     Bogo nodded. “Find this bastard Judy. Take him or them down as fast as you can and get those youngsters back...”

‭     Judy nodded sternly. “Sir? We must steel ourselves for more victims to come if this suspect remains fixed to his schedule.”

‭     “I trust you to do what you always do Wilde. Get it done, that’s all I’ll demand from you.” Bogo said.

‭     Judy saluted firmly and walked from the office.

‭Day 2
‭8am
Pack Street, Viola Gardens
Legoshi’s apartment

     “Ding dong” The door bell rang as Legoshi finished putting his breakfast dishes in his sink....

     “Coming!” The big wolf yelped as he ran.

      Bill stood grinning with a bag in his hand. “Goooood morning partner.” The tiger said as he pointed to his parcel. “A pair of nice thick steaks for us to enjoy this afternoon. I also brought a pack of beers.”

      “Cool.” Legoshi replied as he allowed Bill in. “Don’t fill up during lunch. We’re meeting with Luis.”

      “How is Lou?” Bill asked. “Don’t see much of him as of late since he became mayor.”
  
      “I think he pines for a return of the school days.” Legoshi said as he sat on his couch. “He asked me if I would consider doing the directing of one of his current shows.”

      “Wallace?” Bill asked. “You should! Have you seen it yet?! Legoshi? If you don’t help Luis out, I will so maul you. You were the expert of all directing experts! If people think “Wallace” is awesome now? With you? The house would fall in! It would be the epic to rival every masterful epic!”

       “I have to pull up my feet to escape the wave of snit.” Legoshi said as he lifted his feet off the floor.

       Bill slapped him off the head with one of his big paws...”Oh! Stop putting yourself down?! You know damn well you’re still good at what you went to school for?”

      “I joined the ZPD for a change of pace...as did you if I can remind you?” Legoshi replied. “And I’m not looking to “night owl” jobs... unlike you there mister exotic dancer.”

      “Back dancing for Gazelle is not “Night Owling”...it’s a hobby.” Bill replied.

      “Well your “hobby” gets you a lot of oogles but no hits.” Legoshi snickered. “Then again, with your fold infested butt, what tigress would show you any interest?”

      “For your information there....dog.” Bill snorted.

      “You call me a “dog” again Bill and I’ll show you a “dog’s” teeth on your tail.” Legoshi snorted.

      “I do indeed have an interest.” Bill replied. “Her name is exactly that..."Tygreese” and she’s a martial artist and dance instructor for Gazelle’s crew. She could not resist my personality.”

       “Obviously she doesn’t notice your stink.” Legoshi snickered.

       “Grrrrrrrrr.....” Bill growled.
  
       “So? What’s she like in bed?” Legoshi asked. “Hmmmm? Details?”

       “None of your business.” Bill replied. “I’ll only say that her athletic condition makes for some wild contortionist poses...”

        “Translation? You haven’t tapped a thing yet.” Legoshi sighed.

        Bill looked at his watch. “The shopping Ginza doesn’t open until 9:30 so what should we do till then Legoshi?”

       “Continue talking about your lack of a sex life?” Legoshi replied.

Day two
9am
Over the Whitney Arson Bridge
Nick and Jackson on their way to Bunny Burrough

      “Too well behaved.” Nick said as he paid the toll and drove over the Arson Bridge towards the Tri-Burroughs...

      “Huh?” Jackson looked at his father from his car seat in the passenger’s seat.

      “You are too well behaved.” Nick said smiling. “Come on Jackson? Fuss, cry, bother me....you know? Do the annoying things five-year-olds do like “What’s that daddy?” or “When are we going to be there Daddy?” or “Daddy? I want a drink...please, please, please....” Sheesh, your Godfather’s teaching is making you a bore.”

      “You want me to be bad Daddy?” Jackson asked.

      “Well? Not exactly bad but let me know you’re alive.” Nick replied. “You’re too well behaved and quiet.” Nick said as he looked at the book Jackson had in his paws. “What’s the book?”

      “Ummmm? Hairy Pawters.” Jackson replied as he waved the book at Nick.

     “It has pictures?” Nick asked.

     “Pictures are for babies and I’m not a baby.” Jackson said confidently.

     “Forgive me for asking my adult son. I had no idea you were so grown up.” Nick jested.

     “Godfather says I shouldn’t be bad at all because that would make my mommy and daddy sad and if I want something nice, I should be nice.” Jackson said.

      “Hey?!” Nick replied. “I’m the professional scam artist in this family! Me, myself and I alone. I am going to have a talk with your Godfather about his teachings...”

      “And then you’ll get “iced”.” Jackson yelped. “Ice! Ice! Ice!”

      Nick waved a paw finger. “Jackson?! Ice is bad...very bad. You don’t go around the house or with Mommy or Daddy yelling “Ice!” or “Ice em!” understand? No “ice”.....no, no, no.”

     “I’m sorry Daddy.” Jackson said innocently.

     Nick smiled...”Do you realize just how much better you’re growing up than Daddy did when he was your age? You are going to do big things Jackie. Bigger than Mommy and much bigger than your Daddy, I can see it right now. I am this big mega proud of you...” Nick said as he held his paws out....”This big!”

     “Don’t let go of the wheel Daddy!” Jackson screamed!

     “Oops!” Nick replied as he gripped the steering wheel. “Daddy was being stupid.”

     “Mommy would kick your ass!” Jackson innocently blurped out.

     “Uh? Jackson?” Nick warned. “You just said a bad word.”

     “It’s bad if you say it always?” Jackson replied. “Daddy? You say “ass” all the time.”

      “Daddy’s perogative little mammal.” Nick snickered. “When you’re an adult? You can say bad words all you want. Don’t say that word at Grandpa’s and Grandma’s house ok? That word will get your bottom spanked really hard.”

      Nick giggled as he leaned towards his son...”But? I’ll make sure I’m the spanker so your fluffy bottom stays cute and fluffy ok?”

      “Giggles......ok Daddy.” Jackson replied.

      Nick scratched his head as they drove past the Bunny Burrough sign. “I wonder if Bonnie’s pregnant again? Sheesh...how many rabbits can you handle in one house? What was the count the last time we were there? 279? I am sure glad we only decided on one child, I couldn’t handle three hundred diaper changes in a day.”

      Nick then turned to Jackson...”Jackson? Are you dry?”

      “Yes Daddy.” Jackson replied....then a second later....”Oops. Make that a no.”

      “Oh you little stinker.” Nick said as he shook his head. “You did that on purpose.”

       Jackson giggled back. “I was joking.”

      “My son is going to be a comedian too....ha ha ha.....very funny Jackie.”

Day two
9:30am
The Rain Forest Central Mall

       Alex all but high stepped into the front doors as Morgan and Ako met him...”Where’s the condemned?” Morgan asked.

       “He’ll be here in a bit. Has to get up the courage you know.” Alex said with a toothy grin. “I promised him we wouldn’t take any pictures ourselves but that doesn’t mean everyone in the mall won’t.” Alex turned to Ako....”Hi Ako! How’s the new house on Sahara Beach?”

       “Eh....It’s an otter house.” Ako replied with a shrug then she bumped her elbow into Morgan’s side. “Ah hem?”

       “I don’t have to do it now!” Morgan yipped.

       “I’ll let you slide.....for now.” Ako giggled.

      “Slide?” Alex asked as they stood waiting for Will. “What slide?”

      “Nothing.” Morgan snorted lightly. “Boy? Has your brother gone ice cubes or what?” The Corgi asked.

      “He’s coming.” Alex gestured.

      “He’s not wearing it.” Morgan snorted.

      “He has to change in the bathroom Morgan, sheesh...chill out.” Alex said shrugging.

      Will walked through the doors....”Good morning Morgan....you wicked witch you.”

      “That wasn’t called for Will!” Alex yipped.

      “Eh....desperation.” Morgan replied as she crossed her arms. “Well you can forget it because I have been so wrong about your darling little brother. Come here my “wiggly wolf-ee”....” Morgan grabbed Alex by a wrist, pulled him to her and she planted a wicked wet kiss on his lips!

     “Oh! Let’s just get this stupidity over with!” Will snapped as he grabbed Alex by a wrist and pulled him behind him towards a bathroom!

     “There! Was that enough for you?!” Morgan huffed at Ako.

     “Nah ah...” Ako replied shaking her head. “When I said “kiss”, you need to “kiss” like he’s a prince of the wolves!”

     Morgan huffed...”He’s a prince of wolf peter.”

     “Morgan?” Ako said as she wiggled her phone in her paw.

     “Why are you riding me Ako?!” Morgan huffed!

     “Because it’s fun and you don’t want to risk losing my friendship?” Ako replied smiling.

      “Ugh.....you otters are bat snit looney.” Morgan growled.

     “And you are just so cute when you get all huffy.” Ako replied as she played with Morgan’s locks.

      Inside the male’s bathroom....Will took his clothes off and smirked as he saw Alex gazing at him...”What?”

     “Why’s your thing like that?” Alex asked as he pointed to Will’s “excited partner.”

      “Because it’s chilly and I’m gonna make a complete fool out of myself for my weasel hearted little brother.” Will growled as he pulled a pair of Barney pampers from his back pack.

      “It’s not cold in here at all Will.” Alex said. “Isn’t "that" gonna make getting those Pampers on a little hard?”

     “It will if you keep looking at me! Turn around Alex?!” Will huffed.

     “But I’ve never seen it be like that.” Alex said. “Mine doesn’t do that. And what’s that ball?”

      Will gasped...”Alex?! Please stop gazing at my dong?!”

      “I’m just wondering about it Will?” Alex said as he started to pull his own shorts down...”I mean...mine doesn’t get hard...”

      “Ugh! Alex?!” Will yelped as he grabbed Alex’s shorts and jerked them up. “Do you mind?! Look! I’ll explain everything when we get home but right now? I just want to get this stupid thing done so you and Morgan can get your jollies off of it and I can live the rest of my life in a closet ok?”

       “Oh sheesh Will...” Alex huffed. “Like you’re the first of anyone who’s done crazy stuff in the mall? The high school seniors do pranks every year...like last year when you ran me out because a whole bunch of senior class wolves were “streaking” around?”

      “Alex? Just.....Just go outside and wait for me to come out ok?” Will begged.

     “You don’t need help?” Alex asked.

     “GO ALEX!” Will snapped back!

      “Sheeeesh.....Ok......Mister Cuke up the butt.” Alex growled as he walked out.

      Alex bumped into Morgan...”Is he ready yet? Me and Ako have to go with my Mom and her girlfriend for lunch soon.”

     “He’s almost there.” Alex said with a gesture. “I know you still want me to come over and serve you Morgan but can we be short about it today? I got some important stuff I have to do later.”

     “Sure.” Morgan replied. “Just don’t find an excuse to welsh it.”

     Ako giggled....”She loves you.”

     “I’d rather kiss a snake.” Morgan replied frowning.


‭Day two
9:30am
ZPD Headquarters, First Precinct “First Prinky”
Hunter Task Force code named “Clock maker”

     It didn’t take Judy long to pick who she wanted on the team to hunt down the serial predator..."predator” not being a species....she gathered the officers around a collection of long tables pushed together where she laid out what evidence, documents and maps had been gathered thus far...

    “All right everyone.” Judy said as she hopped onto the tables and paced about the evidence with a stick pointer. “You’re all about to get a primer in mathematics here. I will go as slow as I can on this but we have to work fast because the next expected drop off by our suspect will happen somewhere between two and three pm. Everything he’s done for the past three victims has a carefully calculated mathematical sequence. I believe this creep is trying....begging us....to let us get close to him. Consider what he’s doing to be his “dope high”. Our task is to break his code and see if we can get our teeth on his ass.”

     Officer Jackson, a Bengal Tiger, snickered...”Judy? You sure you’re not part cat? And where’s Nick? You never do anything without the hubby close by.”

    “This time...I gave him a day off.” Judy said. “He’s taking our son to visit his grandparents in Bunny Burrough. Now...I’m not going to go into details as far as the autopsy reports on victims 1 to 3, what’s more important is the math dealing with how they were planted. The lay of the bodies, the pointing of tails, the distance of adjacent objects, the angles the spines were laid at...our suspect is laying out in detail a precise code that’s the same between all the victims; I believe this is going to tell us almost exactly where his next drop off will be.....though....not exactly on the mark...I can’t believe he’d be that risky.”  

      Officer Delgato, an African plains Lion, leaned over the large topographical street map of Central Zootopia which included the City Center, Savanna Central and Sahara Square but left out Tundra Town.

      “Judy? Why isn’t Tundra Town anywhere? You don’t have a map included.” Delgato asked.

      “He’s not dropping in Tundra Town.” Judy replied. “At least for the moment. His math only points to the City Center...Savanna and Sahara.”

       Delgato stood rubbing his mane...”Ok then? Where do you believe the next drop will be? We have five and a half hours to his “window” and like a “Beguzeez” amount of places to cover.”

       Judy walked over the very large street map and slapped her paw down on it....”Here....Vornoy Plaza in the Palm District....West Sahara.”

      Officer Anderson, a polar bear, growled. “That’s a crazy place to try anything. It’s an oasis town with very few places to hide let alone drop off a carcass...unless we’re talking something small like a ferret or a field mouse.”

      Judy snatched up a folder and waved it at Anderson. “And in here among the missing are....four otters, a ferret and a pair of mice.”

     Anderson took the folder, looked at the papers inside then at the map. “My odds on an otter or ferret.”

      “Why?” Judy asked.

      “You said our suspect likes to scale his cuts between mammals so they’re all the same right? You tell me you can scale a mouse that easy.” Anderson said as he handed back the folder. “So what’s our plan of action? Can you give us the precise estimation here of exactly where the suspect might drop his package? And....sorry to treat a potential victim as “a package” but this suspect seems to be becoming a death mail mammal.”

      Judy pointed to the map again...”Adobe and Acrobat streets. There’s a large rock garden park there. We all go in plain clothes, play tourists and party goers. We have to cover the park and everything around it for a half a mile. It’s ten now so we better get organized and get on the streets fast. We’ll all meet for a tactical session at noon near the location.”
