Zootopia: Snowfall (CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter 12

AN: I'm so sorry for keeping you guys waiting! Testing has been a real jerk to me. I've been super busy this last month. I have one more big test to take in 2 weeks so don't expect a fast update. There's a good chance I'm getting a job too. So y'all better get used to me rarely updating. Really though, I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I'm also sorry that this chapter is pretty short. Anyway...

On with the show!

Judy jumps when she hears her alarm clock go off. She hadn't been able to sleep at all, and had only gotten two hours of sleep. It wasn't as if she could get a good night's sleep with her daughter missing.

She rubbed her eyes and turned to wake up Nick. She was surprised to see him gone. They only had the one police car they drive to work in, and she knew he wouldn't just leave early without her. Where could he be?

She hops out of bed go find him, but makes sure to check her kids' room first. All were there except Snow.

Not for long though. Judy will find her daughter. She just prays Snow will be alive. And...if she's not...Judy will want justice.

When Judy makes her way downstairs, she finds her husband hunched over the coffee table fast asleep with papers all around him.

Judy sighs as she makes her way over to him.

When did he get out of bed? How long has he been up doing...whatever it is he's doing?!

She puts a gentle paw on his shoulder and gave him a shook. "Nick? Wake up, honey."

Nick stirred and mumbled words Judy couldn't understand. His green eyes fluttered open and came in contact with Judy's violet ones.

"What are you doing down here?" Judy asked.

Nick rubbed his eyes and stretched out his back. "Just...catching up on paper work." Judy knew it was only half the truth, but didn't push it.

"I also made flyers," Nick said, after a short moment of silence. He picked up a thick stack of papers that had a picture of Snow and some information about her and handed them to Judy.

It was a picture of Snow on her 16th birthday. She'll be turning 17 in a few months.

Judy's ears dropped. She leaned forward and rested her head on his shoulder, and Nick grabbed her paws. They both knew if neither of them was there for the other they would have already crumbled in pain.

"We'll put them up later when we get home. Right now we need to get ready for work," Judy said in a sad, tired tone. That's all she and Nick have been feeling this last week: tired. She hates it. "Come on."

The kids were dropped off, and work was just as quite as it was the day before. Every minute was agonizing for both parents. And every minute brought more worry and fear.

Is she alive? Is she dead? Have they hurt her? Are they hurting her now? Where could she be?

They had their three suspects; a hyena, hippo, and rhino. They also had the license plate number. All they needed to do now is go to the place that sold the car and hopefully get answers.

Cole and Cheetia wanted answers too, and when Cheetia saw him at Starbucks she nearly pounced on him on spot.

Cole, as he stood in line, was lost in his thoughts. He was consumed with horrid scenarios oh what happened, or what is happening, to Snow. The last thing he expected to happen him was for Snow's best friend to be charging toward him and pulling him out of line.
