Born To Be Alive

Chapter 6

Catherine and Snow listened from the apartment 4S to the shouting in Judy’s apartment. Finally they heard two familiar voices from the apartment, moving until they were outside the door.

“YEAH NICK! YOU CAME HER OUTTA THE BLUE FROM OUTER SPACE WITH A SAD STORY AND HOPING I WAS ALL ALONE AND FREE, DIDN’T YOU?” Judy yelled. “Oh no, Nick! Not I! I found me a new love with someone who respects me! With her I gotta new life to live to start anew! Cause I deserve to live a new life, Nick! I was BORN TO BE ALIVE!”

“Judy, please!” he said.

“Do yourself a favor and get out of my life... FOREVER!” she shouted. “GOODBYE, NICK!”

They heard the door slam and after a minute the elevator’s ding. They waited for two minutes and opened the door. They knew that the hall would be empty and checked anyway. Snow went to Judy’s door and pounded on it just as Nick had done. She even mimicked his voice quite well too, Catherine thought. As they expected Judy flung open the door.

“Nick!” she yelled and then realized her mistake. “Catherine!”

The angry vixen raised the rifle and fired twice. Both bodies fell twitching to the floor as the capacitors in the special darts released their stored 50,000 volts. Catherine bent over the Rabbit and smiled.

“I hope that hurts - a lot.”

Snow removed her back pack and removed two duffle bags – one smaller than the other. Catherine stuffed Shay into the larger one while the other vixen handled the Rabbit. Before they zipped them up Catherine produced two syringes and saw Judy’s eyes widen.

“Bye bye bunny,” she said and smiled.

Then she plunged first one syringe into Judy’s butt and then the other into her lover. Their sight grew dim and then totally black.

Judy woke with thunderous headache. She stood and looked around an eerily familiar pit until she saw Shay lying on the ground on the other side still unconscious. She went to her lover and then heard a noise and looked up to see Catherine.

“Help!” Judy yelled and Catherine smiled. “I’ve been kidnapped!”

Catherine let the Rabbit continue until she finally quieted.

“Hope you enjoyed that because no one heard you,” the vixen said, looking down at Judy and the now rousing vixen beside her and smiled.

“You liar!”

Catherine laughed.

“Judy, you’re in a bunker more than two thousand feet below my house.”

“What are you going to do, kill me?!” Judy shouted as she helped Shay to her feet.

“No! Of course not... she is,” Catherine said, pulling out a familiar dart gun from her waistband, and fired.

The vixen fell back as a purple spot appeared on her chest.

“No! Shay?!”

The vixen began to shake and Judy crouched down and touched her. Shay began to turn and then growled.

“No. Shay, don’t do this. Fight it!”

“Oh, but she can’t help it, can she,” Catherine said and smiled. “Since preds are just biologically predisposed to be savages.” Shay got to all fours and looked at Judy. She growled again. “You’d better run.”

She did, but soon found there was nowhere to go. Shay stalked the Rabbit and Judy backed away until her back was against the wall. Judy watched the vixen lunge and she raised her arms to protect herself. Then she hear a thud and looked down see Shay lay twitching on the ground as the capacitor in the special dart released its stored electricity. She leaned back against the wall and slid to the floor, panting hard. She heard Catherine laugh just before a second dart struck her.

When Judy woke again she was bound hand and foot.

“Ah, I see you’re awake,” Catherine said, noticing Judy look at Shay. “Don’t worry we gave her the antidote and she’ll come around soon enough.”

“Catherine, when the ZPD gets hold of you...” she began and Catherine laughed.

“For what?”

“Kidnapping us!”

“But both you and Shay died in a fire several hours ago,” she said and smiled at the look of surprise on Judy’s face. “You’re apartment building burned to the ground and all the Animals that lived there got out safely except you two.”

“They won’t find any bodies!”

“Wanna bet.”

“But...”

“Judy, this is Foxtown and all kinds of Animals live here,” she said and squatted down to look Judy in the eye, “and die here every day. So finding the bodies of a vixen and Rabbit was no problem at all.”

“When they examine the bodies...”

“They’ll match exactly,” she finished. “I have a friend that can hack any computer in the world. So you and Shay will be declared dead in a few days.” Judy just stared at the vixen with her mouth agape. “Now we’re going on a little trip and Judith Laverne Hopps will disappear forever.”

“What are going to do to us?”

“Nothing really,” she said and pulled Judy to her feet and then threw her over her shoulder. “I think you’ll find this part the most interesting.” Judy struggled and the vixen smacked her across her butt. “Be still or I’ll drop you.”

She continued and Catherine let her slip. Judy yelled and Catherine caught her just before she landed face first onto the floor. She pulled her back to a more comfortable position.

“Judy?” the vixen said, slurring her name a bit.

“Shay!”

“Good, she’s coming around,” Catherine said and looked at one of the other Foxes in the room. “John, please help Snow with her.”

“Why are you helping her?” Judy said, looking at the tod.

“I’m Nick’s uncle,” he said and lifted Shay to her feet and then putting one of the vixen’s arms over shoulder. Snow took the other. “I’m Nick’s father’s younger brother.”

They walked across the room and Catherine opened a metal door. A soft blue glow emanated from the room and they stepped in. John shut the door and they set Shay on the floor. Catherine did the same with Judy. After a minute the blue glow get darker and a low hum began and grew. Then three things happened simultaneously: they heard sounds of the surf, the light changed, and their ears popped. Judy saw they were now in a different room with same the glowing blue walls, but it was open to the outside.

“We’re here,” Catherine said and picked up Judy.

“Where?”

“Yours and Shay’s new home,” she said and carried Judy outside. “This island is roughly twenty-five miles long and ten miles wide. It had good soil and you should be able grow anything here. We built you a house and you have enough food for a year. There are seeds for many edible plants and you have all the tools necessary to plant and harvest them.”

“When I get off this island...”

“There’s no land for fifteen hundred miles in any direction and this island is under constant surveillance. If you attempt to leave we’ll take you and only you to another island which isn’t so nice.”

“But...”

“And Shay will stay here by herself.”

They heard the sound of an aircraft in the distance and it soon came into view. It landed vertically and the rear entrance ramp came down. The crew attached a cable to the metal box and pulled it into the belly of the plane. In the mean time Catherine untied the Judy. Then plane’s engine started.

“I hope everything you did to Nick was worth it,” Catherine said and walked toward the plane.

“Where are we?”

“You’ll figure it out eventually,” she said and laughed. “There’s a present for you on your bed.”

They found the house and everything was exactly as Catherine had said. That evening Judy setup the fancy telescope she’d found just where the vixen said it would be. It took Judy a few days and she finally figured it out.

“Dammit!”

“Judy, what’s wrong?”

“We’re on the third planet!”

“So.”

“Zootopia is on the fourth planet in our solar system.”

Then Judy screamed Catherine’s name into the night and somewhere else the angry vixen chuckled.
