Adam's POV
I was walking on the side of the road, Hitchhiking while Max stayed behind, and I knew she was staring at me when we were walking. Back at the bed and breakfast, Marry called the police station of PINEBROOK and left before they could arrive and said sorry to her and me, and Max started walking down the road to where what she didn't know was a run-down garage that I kept myself occupied. Still, I was soon cut out from my train of thought when I heard Max stop walking and stand where she was. Turning around, I look in her direction.
She was still looking at me, and I looked at her, not saying for about a minute before she asked the question I assumed she would ask.
"What are you?" She asked.
I didn't answer or even care to respond to her question.
Instead, I said, "Now is not the time to ask those questions right now."
I heard her scoff and give me a look of stupidity.
"You just took down four heavily armed timber wolves."
"I know that," I said bluntly, with a sign of irritation in my voice.
"Why were they hunting you?" She asked.
I didn't answer that, but I chose to say something to her.
"After what I did at the concert, I never wanted that to happen, and now that I did do what I did, now I have to leave everything, especially you."
I turned away but assumed she would stand there, but I was wrong.
She embraced me from behind as if she was hugging me, and she was.
I shrugged her off and continued walking.
She was confused about why she acted like this, but he ignored her as I continued walking.
But she took a breath, sighed, and started walking again with me.

Gazelle's POV
I was able to Tell my agent Henry that I would be gone for a bit, but I didnt know how long so i packed up everything that I needed, nothing big, just a suitcase, some caual clothing, and a hygiene bag, and a few extra hoodies just in case, so I could blend in a populated crowd without getting noticed by other mammals and her fans, so she ordered a rental vechile designed with good gas milage and with no off grid tracking on it, no GPS or any tracking devioce on it, after that, I needed to figure out where this being was and where it was goinfg, looking back at my phone I got an update from my mobile device indictating that I was updated by a notification from my home screen, pressing on it I was able to see a video clip was on one of the well known socila media networks called Tweeter, pressing on it I gasped putting my cloved hand to my mouth to see the horror that it was being shot at, she was confused by this so she continued to watch assuming it might show or tell why it was being shot at.
I saw the being heading to a train titled A4 and looked it up using my phone's Zootopia train station transit station application.
It took it to a small town called PINEBROOK.
"I guess that's where I need to go," I said, as I put my seat belt on, started the car by putting the keys and started the engine, and made my way to where the being might be, but I keep asking myself why that is saving me. He or he didn't look like a fan, but why save me and go through all the trouble to do it? I thought I entered the freeway that would take out from the Zootopia into an empty freeway to where it would take me to PINEBROOK.

Max's POV
I watched as I walked behind Adam, watching him as he walked, but I had so many questions, and it was not the time to talk about that right now.
I was cut off from my train of thought when we were at Gary's shop.
Once we were there, it was already closed, and Gary wasn't around, but he would be about eight, so whatever Adam needed to do here, he had to do it fast.
He could go to the shop's back door, and he turned to me, "Stay here." He said.
I wanted to object, but I listened and nodded to him, watching him head behind the shop, I stayed where I was for about a minute when the shop's car doors opened to reveal a car I'd never seen before, and the lights were blue instead of a bright yellow like every other vehicle, this one was different, and it even looked different from the other cars I repaired or fixed, I noticed who was in the front passenger seat was Adam was driving the vehicle.
And wore from her seeing, he was wearing a costume space suit, and over it was his original coat.
Then something in my head clicked, "Did he make this?" I asked myself, muttering as the car slowly began to leave when I heard paw steps coming behind me, but at that very moment, I was greeted by Adam in front of me, looking towards where the paw steps were coming from.
I saw that it was a very old friend I wished I never saw again.

Adam's POV
I looked to see the fear in her eyes, and I saw a pair of light lemon-colored predatory yellow eyes looking either at Max or me.
The shadowy figure was hiding from any visible sunlight. Still, I could see it was a male wolf in a red and black tuxedo. When I looked and was able to analyze the mammal, I saw it was a grey and black fur-coated wolf, but I knew this wolf was different just by looking at its eyes, that it wanted either kill her or me, and I knew it wanted me.
That's when the wolf spoke.
"Max, it's been so long since I last scene you from our breakup." He said in a casual manipulative voice.
He looked at Max, I was holding her left paw, and the wolf seemed to notice this and looked at me.
He chuckled, and at that moment, I wouldn't say I liked this wolf.
"It is not even close to Halloween yet, kid." He said.
I didn't respond; I stared at him through his still-beaming yellow eyes.
When the sun started to rise above the pine tree, he somehow slightly moved away from where the light would shine on him.
This confused me, and I thought it would ruin his fur or clothing.
But I knew that he wasn't normal, so I kept a tight grip on her.
Max then said, "Joy...what are you doing here?" I knew she was stuttering in fear.
"So that's his name." I thought.
"Oh, funny that you ask that. I just somehow noticed you guys here and just wanted to come and say hello." He said, showing his pure white canines, but his fangs seemed larger and much bigger than a normal wolf.
"You already did. Now leave." I said, telling him in a dark but blunt tone.
Max looked at me, worried and confused, and I had never seen her this scared, not since they started becoming friends.
"Your weird," Joy said.
I took a step forward and said in a dark tone that caused him to step a paw back.
"Back. Off." I said in a dark and severe and stern voice.
"Heh, I'm afraid I can't do that." He said, slightly chuckling.
"Why's that?" I asked.
I saw him see and look at me with a pissed-off look in his predatory eyes.
"Because the person that hired me seems interested in you, and she wants to meet you," he said, in a tone with a hint of impatient.
