Hint Hunt (Part 2) [Judy's POV]

Don't even get me started on this picture, I have no idea 😂

~*~

When I walked into the ZPD, I received a lot of weird looks from officers, criminals, and especially Clawhauser.

"Hey, Judy, what are you doing here?" He asked, sounding surprised to see me.

"Hi Clawhauser. Um, do you by any chance know of a clue I'm supposed to pick up here?" I asked, peeking above the desk on my toes.

"Clue, what clue- oh!" He exclaimed, pulling out a pink sticky note from a folder on this desk and handing it to me. "Yeah, some weird animal came in and told me to give it to you. Weird, right?" He laughed.

"Did you by any chance see the animal's face?" I asked, tapping my foot against the floor impatiently.

"Nope, just got given that note," he answered, nodding at the post-it in my paws.

'What do you call a three-humped camel?' The note read and I rolled my eyes.

"Nice to know this anonymous figure has Nick's sense of humour," I commented sarcastically, showing Clawhauser the note.

His eyes scanned the note and he suddenly burst out laughing. I stared at him in irritated confusion and he calmed down after a bit.

"Clawhauser, this is serious," I scolded, my brows creasing in worry. "We all know what you call a three-humped camel but what does that have to do with anything?" I asked, tapping my chin in thought.

Then it hit me. Camels! Sahara Square! That's it!

"I got it!" I suddenly yelled, so loud that the entire reception of the ZPD fell silent. "Camels! Sahara Square! I gotta go, Clawhauser. Thanks!" I exclaimed as I ran out of the ZPD and to my car, which was parked outside my apartment.

I hopped in the driver's seat and took no hesitation in speeding off, still obeying all of the lights and limits. Within twenty minutes, I pulled up at the front of Sahara Square. I took a moment to take in my surroundings: most of it was a sand-covered plain with houses and shops. It was actually quite a nice place and I remembered the reason why I was here.

What do you call a three-humped camel?

Pregnant, of course. So I began my search for a pregnant camel. I must've looked really weird, a bunny patrolling through Sahara Square, but that didn't matter. People could ask questions later, after I had found my next clue.

Eventually, I found a pregnant camel and decided to ask her if she knew anything about these notes.

"Excuse me!" I called out to her, running up to her as I did so.

She turned around and smiled at me, and I knew this wouldn't be so hard.

"Yes dear, how may I help you?" She asked, her words rolling off her tongue like caramel.

"I'm Officer Hopps, ZPD. I was just wondering if you've received any form of note from someone. They look like this," I said handing over the note I was holding.

The camel took the note and read it over, her face lighting up in delight.

"Oh, that's a funny joke," she laughed, handing me the note back.

I smiled forcefully and let out a strained laugh.

"Yes, it is. But, these notes are clues leading up to something that could be crucial. And I need to know if you received a note like this," I explained, starting to get a little impatient.

The camel thought for a moment, before remembering something.

"Oh, yes!" She exclaimed, pulling out another pink note from her bag and handing it to me.

I near almost snatched it from her hooves and read it frantically.

'Ice 'em.'

It only then occurred to me that all of these clues had something to do with Nick and I during that missing mammal case, which made me extremely worried. I knew Nick wasn't in on this because he was visiting his family in Foxfair, but what if he wasn't? What if he had been kidnapped and they were using him as bait to get me. Oh sweet cheese and crackers. I had to hurry.

"Thank you!" I squealed, hopping up in joy. "Congratulations, by the way!" I exclaimed as I ran off towards my car.

"Congratulations? But I'm not pregnant!" The camel called out to me but I ignored it as I hopped into the driver's seat again.

Next stop, Tundratown.

So, there's a little thing going on here. There's a possibility that Nick's been kidnapped and used as bait, or the possibility that Nick is visiting his family in Foxfair (my fox version of Bunnyburrow. I'm a legend) and this is all another case in itself. But, considering that this is a little Junick story, Nick has to be involved somewhere. 😂 comment what you think!
