[Jungkook goes to Hoseok's desk, where Hoseok gives Jungkook the file.]

Hoseok: Here you go! One missing otter!
[Jungkook opens the file, revealing little information.]
Jungkook : That's it?!
Hoseok: Yikes! That is the smallest case file I've ever seen.
Leads: none, witnesses: none, and you're not in the computer system yet, so resources: none!
[Laughs, as Jungkook's ears droop]
Oh, I hope you didn't stake your career on cracking this one!

Jungkook :[sighs]
Last known sighting.
[Jungkook looks at the picture and hears slurping noises. Hoseok is drinking a bottle of Sprite that is becoming empty.]
Can I just borrow... Thank you.
[takes the bottle and uses it as a magnifying glass. Hoseok still has the straw in his mouth. Jungkook sees Emmitt holding a Pawpsicle.] Pawpsicle...

Hoseok: [taking the straw out of his mouth]
The murder weapon...
Jungkook: [to himself]
"Get your pawpsicle..."
Hoseok: [whispered, slightly waving the straw near Jungkook's direction, as though understanding]
Yeah, 'cause that...
[then gets confused]
what does that mean?
Jungkook : It means...
[he moves the bottle and sees Taehyung in the background]
I have a lead.

[The scene changes to Taehyung pushing Finnick in a stroller, who sleeps and snores. He closes the lid after a hippo passerby gives him a look. Jungkook drives next to them.]

Jungkook: Hi! Hello! It's me again.
Taehyung: Hey, it's Officer Toot-toot!
Jungkook: Ha-ha-ho... No. Actually, it's Officer Jeon and I'm here to ask you some questions about a case.

Taehyung: What happened, meter maid? Did someone steal a traffic cone? It wasn't me
[annoyed, Jungkook blocks the sidewalk, blaring his siren]
Hey, Carrots, you're gonna wake the baby. I gotta get to work.

Jungkook: [hops out of the car with the file and a Carrot pen]
This is important, sir. I think your ten dollars worth of pawpsicles can wait.

Taehyung: Ha! I make two hundred bucks a day, Fluff. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve. And time is money. Hop along.

Jungkook: Please, just look at the picture.
[shows a close-up picture of Emmitt] You sold Mr. Otterton that pawpsicle, right? Do you know him?

Taehyung: I know everybody Bunny. [smirks] And I also know that somewhere, there's a toy store missing its stuffed animal. So why don't you get back to your box, Pretty doll?

Jungkook: [his smiles drops, then becomes serious]
Fine. Then we'll have to do this the hard way.
[in a quick second, a clink is heard, and there is a parking boot attached to Tae's stroller]

Taehyung: Did you just boot my stroller?
Jungkook: Kim Taehyung , you are under arrest!
Taehyung: [scoffs, amused]
For what? [mockingly]
Hurting your feelings?

Jungkook: [smiles slyly]
Felony tax evasion.

[Tae's smile drops, flabbergasted, and his eyes widen as Jungkook writes] Yeeaah... two hundred dollars a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year since you were twelve, that's a decade,so times ten which is... six hundred fifteen thousand - I think. I mean,
[chuckles]

I am just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying.
Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here, zero! [Tae's face freezes in fear] Unfortunately, lying on a federal form is a punishable offense. Five years jail time.

Taehyung: Well, it's my word against yours.
[Jungkook pulls out his carrot pen and plays back Tae's confession]

Taehyung's voice: [Through carrot pen] ...two hundred bucks a day, Fluff. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve.

Jungkook: Actually, it's your word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to help me find this poor missing otter, or the only place you'll be selling pawpsicles is the prison cafeteria.
[grins]
It's called a hustle, sweetheart. [Taehyung shows a stunned look]

Finnick: He hustled you. [opens the stroller, laughing]
He hustled you good! You're a cop now, Tae! You're gonna need one of these. [slaps his police sticker on Tae's shirt; Taehyung frowns]
Have fun working with the fuzz!
[leaves still laughing]

Jungkook: [to Tae] Start talking.
Taehyung: [sighs] I don't know where he is, I only saw where he went.
Jungkook: Great! Let's go! [gets in his car]
Taehyung: [grins] It's not exactly a place for a cute little bunny.
Jungkook: [annoyed] Don't call me cute! Get in the car.
Taehyung: [smirking] Okay, you're the boss. [joins Jungkook]
