Chapter 7 - ZTC
-Judy POV-
Nicks phone vibrates... a text message.
Both of our ears perk up instantly at the sound, nick coming out of his partial trance.
Nick and I both look at the phone, seeing the lit up screen. Nick slowly leans forward and reaches out his phone to pick up the phone to see who it is.
I looked over at him, "Who could it be this time?" I said with a tone of annoyance.
Nick is focusing on the phones screen, analyzing the contents in the message box
"It's that stupid code again, from the unknown number" he says softly, in an irritated tone.
"Let me see..." I reach my paw out grab the phone out of his and I read it out loud, but also quietly. "090 111 111 116 111 112 105 097 032 116 114 097 100 101 032 099 101 110 116 101 114 046 032 077 105 100 110 105 103 104 116"
I rub my forehead for a second "What even is this, I don't understand it at all!" I said
Nicks ears perk up after a moment "Wait-wait-wait... we need to take this to the ZPD, I think I know what it means." He stands up
We quickly run down the apartment complex stairs and run to the car, I'm a little bit behind because I'm limping a bit from when I hurt my leg a few days ago; we get in the cruiser and buckle up quickly to head to the station.
We drive to the station, trying to hasten as we venture there.
Nick gets out of the drivers seat while I get out of the passenger seat and jump down out of the cruiser and we dart in. "CLAWHOUSER" his ears perk up.
"It's so good to see you two!!"
"Thanks clawhouser but it's not the time" I say
"What's the problem?" He asks
"I got another text message from the unknown numbers, the third one this week, could you help us find out what it says?"
"Um.. sure!"
Nick POV
"Thanks"
I take the phone out of my pocket and I give it to him. "This is what it says"
"I don't know what it means... but I think Officer Wolford does" he hands my phone back to me.
"Thanks" Judy and I say in unison, we walk over to the grey wolfs office
"What are you two doing here right now?" He asks.
"I got another text message, Clawhouser said you know what it means" I pull out my phone again, opening the message.
"Hmm..." he hesitates while he rubs his muzzle with his paw, the phone in the other. "Yeah just a sec" he gets on his computer opening a translator and starts typing. " I believe it's an ASCII code, each set of numbers represents a letter."
We both glance at each other and then look back at him in a little bit of confusion. "And?" Judy asks.
"Ugh, here. Let me put it in the translator."
He starts typing, glancing at the phone for every few numbers he writes.
The computer stalls for a second, loading the contents into the translator.
"Yeah... it says: 'Zootopia Trade Center: Midnight'"
"Ok, so that would be tonight??" Judy asks
"I think so, when did you get the text?"
"About a half hour ago" nick responds
After a couple of hours we go to the Zootopia Trade Center with a few other officers, Judy and I are back in and we're back in our uniforms.
We wait around the dark museum, patrolling the area.
After about an hour, we hear a mammals footprints. I nudge Judys shoulder.
Her ears perk up instantly "I hear someone" she whispers
We walk around quietly, looking around and trying to get closer to the mammals. I pull out my taser to make sure and we decide to split up. I peek around the corner where I hear the footprints, I see a mammal, but I can't define what breed it is.
*SLAM* I yelp as a sharp pain runs up my spine. I grab my taser and try to shoot the mammal. He gets shot but instantly throws the taser away out of my hand, pinning me down.
"JUUUUDDDDYYYY" I scream at the top of my lungs, trying to kick the mammal off of me. I kick his muzzle and he yelps, pinning me down even more. He is stronger and a lot larger mammal than I am. I struggle to get out of his grip, but he is too heavy.
I punch his throat, he gags in pain but is still pinning me down. He gets mad and ties a rope around my muzzle, so I won't be able to make any noise.
"NICK WHERE ARE YOU!" Judy screams as she is sprinting toward us. The mammal grabs me and starts running to the back door. Still grabbing my muzzle and the rest of my body so I can't move. I look back and I see Judy running after us, pulling out her gun, she shoots the mammal in the left arm, but he doesn't do anything because it was just his arm and he's a large mammal so it didn't affect him that much.
He quickly sprints out to his van and chucks me in the trunk, making my head slam on the wall. He hopped into the drivers seat, driving away as quickly as possible. I black out...
