11:30pm. It was getting way too late. Judy was now trudging through the streets, in complete darkness, with only streetlights to illuminate the path ahead. She had gone too far. Silver City was a big city, goodness knows who was lurking in the dark alleys. Every rustle, crack and bang made her jump, when it dawned upon her that she had to go back. Looking around, the bunny began to feel rather frightened. How she wished Nick was here to hold her, to reassure her, to love her. But he had hurt her. He had betrayed her. He had cheated. But she couldn't stop thinking... what if? What if he was telling the truth? What if he didn't cheat on her whatsoever? Besides, Nick was a good guy, he wouldn't do such a thing to her. He was with Judy from day one of their relationship, never leaving her side. But he could have got together with Roxy the night Judy confessed her feelings to him. Either way, she had to go back to him.
Judy stopped walking and sighed, her breath a visible cloud of steam in the cold, cruel night. Turning around, the path stretched for what seemed like miles. She was just about to walk back to the hotel, when a large dark shadow appeared in front of her. Panting, Judy didn't have the chance to turn around before she was snatched into the darkness of the alleyway.
"Okay that's her number, ring her now!" Nick said, slamming his phone down. He had to go and find Judy. He had made such a mistake, letting her go out alone in the dark, especially in the middle of a city. If somebody hurt her, he would never forgive himself. Running out of the hotel door, the city was even more dark and menacing than he had imagined. "Judy!!!?" He shouted loudly. No answer. Nick was panicking now. He had no idea where she was. He didn't even know which direction to walk, one of them would be the wrong way. Hopefully Roxy had got a hold of her. He prayed and prayed that his baby was okay.
Meanwhile at Roxy's house, she was frantically dialling the number Nick had given her. Tears were brimming in her eyes, the guilt she felt for ruining this for Nick, and now Judy could be in danger. She hadn't even meant to cause it, besides, Nick was the one being a flirt in the hospital. But that wasn't important right now. She had to speak to Judy, and sort everything out. Pressing call, she waited.

Judy screamed as the creature dragged her into the darkness. "Help!!" She screamed. "Somebody help me please!!!"  Adrenaline rushes through her body like a bolt of lightning. Was this the end for Judy Hopps?
The animal shone a torch in her face, half blinding her. "Let me go!!" Judy said fiercely, struggling. Another animal appeared out of the darkness, carrying a stool and some ropes. Judy scratched and bit as she tried to escape the animals grip, but thy were too strong for her. "Look like we have a little feisty pants here!" The animal said laughing as he sat her down on the chair. She was placed on the chair and tied up immediately. Judy took a good look at the animals when she realised.
It was the panther and the wolf from the case.
"You two! Your under arrest!" Judy shouted. The wolf laughed. "Oh really Cotton Tail? In case you haven't realised, your tied up!" The panther laughed and high fived the wolf. "She really is cute! To think they'd employ a bunny as a cop! I mean just look at her!" The wolf said, pointing at her. Judy struggled to reach her walkie talkie to call Nick for back up. "Ah Ah Ah!" The panther said, snatching the walkie talkie from her belt. "Hey!" Judy yelled. "Give that back!" The panther laughed mockingly. "Your gonna make me?" He sneered. Judy's breathing was getting faster by the second. What if they tried to kill her? What if they hunted down Nick and did the same to him? Horrible thoughts filled her mind, as she quivered in fear. "You wont get away with this!" She said sternly, although inside she was screaming in fear. "Oh," the panther said menacingly. "We already have." And with that, from behind his back he retrieved an enormous knife, the tip of the blade glinting in the darkness. Judy's heart hammered. This was definitely it. "Why are you doing this?" Judy wept. "Because," the wolf snarled, getting up close to her face. "We knew you and that darn fox were comin have. We knew you were hot on our trail. So we reckoned, if we kill you, and your foxy friend, we can become the most evil criminals of all of Zootopia!" Judy's eyes widened. "No!" She screamed! "NOOOOOOO!" Judy closed her eyes, awaiting the wrenching pain that would lead her to her death. Nothing. Had she died already?
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Judy opened her eyes. Her phone! Nick must be ringing her, God, he was probably worried sick about her. Judy looked at the pair, her whole body trembling. The wolf came forward and snatched the phone from her pocket. Judy didn't protest, the phone had saved her life. "Hello?" He said gruffly. "Roxy?! What the hell do you want?" Roxy, on the other line was shocked to hear the wolf's voice. "Karl? What are you doing to Judy?!" She screamed down the phone. The wolf cackled. "Oh nothing, was just gonna make a lovely rabbit stew when I was rudely interrupted," she said, glancing at Judy who was now terrified. She had to get out of there. Ensuring the two weren't looking, she began chewing as hard as she could down on the ropes. They began to fray and come apart. Judy groaned as she struggled to prose them apart, causing the panther to turn around. "Hey! What do you think your doing?" Judy was so close to escaping, but the panther pinned her back down to the chair. "If you DARE move I'll kill you with my bare claws!" He threatened. Judy sat down terrified. The panther hadn't noticed that the ropes were fraying however, meaning Judy still had a chance to escape...
