4:15 PM Morris laughed as Mike playfully shoved him as they walked along the shore. "I love your dad," said Morris. "This place is the best!" "Yeah," laughed Mike. "But your dad's cool, too! It was fun that he took us out for lunch." Morris nodded but couldn't help but notice his friend wasn't as lively as he normally was. "Are you okay?" "Hmm? What d'you mean?" "I mean, uh . . . well, you seemed kinda scared when Raymond came to pick us up." "No I didn't!" said Mike defensively. Morris eyed his friend wearily. He wanted to say more but didn't. He had a hunch that the fox's fear had something to do not only with the worry that his father migh

3:40 PM "So it's done?" asked Pricilla, a slight note of delight in her voice. The voice over the phone grunted in the affirmative and she smiled to herself. All obstacles had ostensibly been dealt with and things could proceed as she'd hoped they would. "Yeah," replied Coal. "I darted her three times and pushed her off the side of a cliff." "Spare me the details. Do we have our boys on the inside?" "I just got a text back from them; they're both in. Savages are starting to arrive, now. A lot of 'em. The whole place is filling up, quick," said the koala as he looked around. The parking lot was crowding rapidly and predators were walking into

9:43 Clawhauser sighed as he pulled into the ZPD. He had managed to get here without incident for which he was very grateful. He was also grateful for the fact that there was no one else in the parking lot. Since he'd called himself in sick he wanted to sneak away as quickly as possible without notice. He'd take the metro back to Happy Town and express busses from there. Would take him a little longer, maybe about thirty minutes to get back, but he had to do it. He had just stepped out of the car and shut the door when a familiar voice behind him drew a surprised and terrified scream from him. "What're you doing?" asked a very angry-looking b

9:32 AM "You want me to go where?!" exclaimed Clawhauser. Wilde gave him a pointed look. "You need to go back to the ZPD and dump the sarge's car." "And you said that that collar's got a tracker on it?" he asked as he took it from his paws. "Yeah. All the collars that look like this have trackers. It's not safe to have them in the building." "If what you're saying is true," began Clawhauser, "don't you think it's going to look weird that a fox came here on a ferry that's not even supposed to be on this route anymore? Nick, we gotta really cover our tracks with this. That fox—I know it isn't his fault—is begging the cops to come he

As Judy slept in Nick's arms, her dreams got stranger and stranger; hearing voices and odd sounds that weren't quite nightmares but were nevertheless disturbing. Her body twitched as the jumble of sounds and images in her mind gently started to take form, the warmth she had felt as she slept giving way to a jarring coldness that didn't quite wake her. There were a series of loud cracks that shook the air: as loud as claps of thunder when it's too close. Judy's eyes flickered. 'The sound combined with the loudly growing admixture in her mind, the kaleidoscope of sounds and voices getting louder and louder until she- Beeeeeeeeeep! Judy's eyes f
