Zootopia: When Worlds Collide

Chapter 5

                 "Animals...we think we've found all the answers, solved all the world's mysteries. Until you showed up...completely rewriting the game."

"M-Me?!'' I questioned in a clearly surprised tone.

Judy and Nick just looked at me, as shocked as I was, although Nick had a more calmed expression to his surprise. The two doctors, however, seemed to tense up, even took a cautious step backwards at my outburst as if they were ready to run if something bad were to happen. After a brief moment of silence, Judy spoke, taking a step back towards me.

"You...you came here for Quincy?''

"Yes Officer Hopps,'' Dr. Alces answered, taking a quick glance at me before returning his attention to Judy. "That is correct. It is important that he comes with us.''

Judy just looked at the moose before her eyes sort of winced slightly and she asked, "I...I don't mean to sound rude sir but...why is it that he needs to come with you?''

"That'd be something that I'd like to know?'' Nick added, looking at the two doctors suspiciously as he crossed his arms.

Dr. Alces looked at Dr. Woolwater yet again with that hesitant glance. I was increasingly starting to get nervous, my hands becoming sweaty as I balled them up as the tension rose throughout my body. Finally, Dr. Woolwater took it upon herself to answer the question.

"Yes, I suppose that is a good question. Please allow us to fully explain. Dr. Alces and I are from the Zootopia Institute of Animalia Research.''

"Fascinating...'' Nick began, faking an interested reaction. "But what does that have to do with him?''

The sheep continued, "Well the reason he needs to come with us is due the possible threat to the community at large.''

Judy and Nick looked at each other with mild, quizzical surprise before looking at me. My expression wasn't any different, saved for the fact there was a bit more panic in mine. A threat?! Did they really think that I am a threat to their community? Why?! I know that I'm practically an alien to them, but I knew for a fact that I gave absolutely no indication that I was a threat whatsoever. Judy retaliated, her eyes furrowing a bit while she took a step back closer to me as she said.

"I'm sorry doctors but I'm failing to understand here. What do you mean 'a threat to the community'?"

"We have overwhelming evidence that this...that HE could very well cause serious harm to the animals of the city,'' Dr. Alces responded. "So it's imperative that we take him back to the institute for animals' protection.''

"Protection?! The city doesn't need protection from him. He poses no threat to anybody!''

The moose spoke with a stern expression. "I believe we have evidence that prove otherwise.''

Now it was Nick's turn to speak, "Oh really now. Well Officer Hopps and I would love to see this 'evidence' you have.''

"Very well.''

Dr. Alces then set his briefcase on Judy's desk and opened it a few seconds after. Judy, Nick, and I all watched as the doctor took out what seemed to be a iPad tablet of some kind but I soon notice that the back had a logo of a paw as the moose began to fiddle with it for a moment or two before presenting it to us with the screen in view. My two watchers and I leaned in as the screen seemed to have been on a website of some kind and a video soon started after a few seconds of loading. The video began with the letter ZNN going across the screen with music before the familiar faces of two anchor animals that I've come to learn were Fabienne Growley and Peter Moosebridge came on the screen.
