Say Something I'm Giving Up On You

23: Wasting All These Tears

Everything was all fitting together now. All of the lies were unfolded and made so much more sense. But after Alay told her the truth, she couldn't help but feel that she was hiding something. Hiding something big.

"So, that means..." Judy mumbled after Alay finished. The vixen nodded.

"And you're..." Judy looked so shocked at the vixen. "Oh my."

"Yeah, I know," Alay replied. "It's really crazy."

Judy nearly fainted. This was too much. Way too much for her, but it helped a lot and it made her trust Alay pretty much 100%.

"Thanks for telling me," Judy said. "Or maybe no thanks. I don't know how to take this all in."

"I know," Alay sighed.

And then, it dawned on Judy. What she had just did was super illegal. If anybody found out about this...Oh no. Officer Emma. She better not tell anyone about this interrogation.

"Look, Alay. I'm sorry for bringing you in like this. But if Chief Bogo finds out about this..."

Alay's eyes went wide as she realized what was wrong. "Oh, Judy. Don't worry, I'll...I'll help you if you get into any real trouble, okay? Just text me if you need my help."

"How could you help? If the news get to Chief somehow...Oh, no. I can get fired! This is against the law and I was being so stupid, trying to get the truth on Nick and...Oh...Nick..."

"Judy, it's okay," Alay whispered. "I'll help you get through this. We will get through this."

"Well, I better get us out of here," Judy spoke, grabbing the keys from her pocket. She unlocked the cell door and let Alay out first. Then, after Judy slipped out, she hung them back up on their hook and motioned for Alay to follow her. Once they were outside and away from other officers, Judy turned to the vixen.

"I'm sorry that I made you go through that," Judy said.

"It's okay," Alay responded. "I knew that I wouldn't get out of there until I told you everything. Besides, it felt good telling someone else. It's been inside of me for forever."

Then Alay leaned forwards and hugged Judy.

"I'm sorry that you felt played," Alay said, slipping away from the short hug. "I...we just had to do it."

"Oh, I understand." Judy managed a smile. "You keep out of trouble, okay Alay?"

"Well, I was planning on murdering someone tonight in a dark alley, but I guess I can't now," Alay winked. Judy giggled.

"If you even try, I'll go after you and Taser you again," Judy chuckled. Alay laughed at the bunny.

"I'm glad that we worked things out between us. But the past helped with that." Then the fox waved at Judy before spinning around on her heel and running out of sight.

It was when Judy was walking off when it struck her. Her interrogation was recorded! And if Officer Emma...oh gosh, no. She didn't even need the recording to prove to Chief Bogo that Judy was interrogating someone. Judy began to shiver in fright. She was such a stupid, stupid bunny.

"Did things turn out okay?" Officer Emma asked when they walked in. "Why did you let the fox go?"

"It turns out that she wasn't guilty, she was just forced to do bad things. I need to find her boss—whoever he is—and interrogate him."

"Oh. Should I let Chief know about this?"

"No!" Judy exclaimed. "No, I'll tell him about it myself, okay? It's my responsibility."
