Time passed way too quickly. She had such a good night's sleep that it was noon already. Panic set in since she wasn't sure how much trouble she was in. Quickly, she dashed to the room assigned to her hoping that they would show her mercy. The scent of lion cum was still on her mind every time she took a breath.

"You finally showed up." A panther was waiting for her in her room.

"How much trouble am I in?" Judy asked.

"That depends on you."

"What do I need to do?"

"Let me explain how our system works. Every single day we will give you different tasks to complete. These tasks are sorted by different colors. Purple ones must be completed by someone else but the points are yours. Yellow ones are tasks that you can trade away or give to someone else but whoever completed it will receive the points. Red ones must be completed by you. And if you ever receive a blue one that means we'll force you to complete it even if you do not want to."

Judy didn't like the idea of blue tasks. "Do I have a choice of what color tasks I receive?"

"Under normal circumstances, you'll be receiving purple and yellow tasks. I think they limit it to two red tasks per week which you can refuse. You may receive a few blue tasks if the points you have were insufficient last week. Failure to complete tasks leads to a deduction of points."

"Great, so how many points do I need per week to not receive any blue tasks?"

"A thousand which you will be able to meet if you complete all your assigned tasks." The panther passed her a piece of paper with three cards on top of it. There was a big zero on the piece of paper. "You may receive tasks that add up to more than a thousand, but it will never be less on weekly basis. Although, they've been known to make a few mistakes here and there. Regardless of administrative errors, it is your responsibility to maintain your point total. Excess points may be carried over for future weeks or spent on certain perks. Please go to the entrance if you have any questions. Sasha and Tasha can help you further or if you need to beg for more tasks."

She reflected on what she just learned. Sasha and Tasha really did run this place. "Won't this paper easily get lost?" The cards she received also seemed to be part of a collectible card game that she didn't recognize. Although she theorized that the rules were probably in the game room.

"It may, that is not my problem. All your daily tasks will be delivered here until further notice. If you wish to change this arrangement, Sasha and Tasha may be of help."

"How many points have I lost so far?"

"I do not know, but you will receive an updated point total tomorrow." The panther walked away leaving her with a piece of paper and three cards with tasks on them.

She saw that the tiger she missed wanted a blowjob along with some hot wax play. It was a yellow task that was worth fifty points. There was one purple and one yellow one for her to complete today still. The purple one had a time, a short description and a few fetishes listed. It required whomever to eat a bar of soap at the very minimum.

Her yellow task involved a rabbit and vaginal sex. That sounded like a bad idea since she didn't want to get pregnant. She had tons of free time it seemed although she had to find a way to get rid of both of those cards. The yellow one was worth a hundred points and the purple one was worth only forty.

She headed to the bathroom first to brush her teeth. The sounds of pleading and begging that she heard the day before became clear. There was a leopard that held the rabbit's head underneath the toilet water while she blew bubbles in an open stall.

"Please no more," she said.

"Again." He pushed the rabbit's head underneath the water once more.

At least, it looked clean per her observations. Judy tried to put it out of her mind as she brushed her teeth.

The leopard yelled from the stall, "Do you want to join in?"

Judy reflexively spat out the water in her mouth from shock. Once she regained her composure, she just focused on rinsing her mouth with the intent of leaving as soon as she finished.

"I'm talking to you."

"What do you mean?" Judy asked.

"Like have her clean your paws or something. You know, stuff like that."

"What's in it for me?"

"Forget it."

Judy didn't hear any sound of struggling for the last minute so she checked on that stall again. The doe wasn't moving, and the leopard was still holding the doe's head underwater. "Are you killing her?" If the leopard did, she thought of ways that she could take down the unarmed predator.

"Oh, no, she's still alive. Don't you worry," the leopard said dismissively. "Can I play with you? I'm offering fifty points."

"Alive, how?"

"Like this." The leopard placed the unmoving doe onto the floor. He kicked her stomach which caused her to gasp and spit out some water. "See? Still alive."

The doe was hacking and coughing on all fours. "Please I'll do anything else even if I have to play with you for two more hours."

"Now, you're talking. We do have an hour left still."

The doe cried upon hearing that. "How can that be possible?" Her ears pointed downwards and she looked pitiful.

"Now, what are you willing to do for me? or you go back in." The leopard turned towards Judy "Hey, rabbit, last chance, do you want to join in?"

"No, thank you." Judy hightailed it out of there. The bathrooms were a scary place. Part of her wondered if that was the reason why some of the prey animals were wearing diapers. She also learned that tasks might be prolonged due to spontaneous arrangements.

She went to the dining room to get rid of her cards along with her piece of paper.

"You're new here," a squirrel said. "Come with me." The squirrel took her arm and dragged her to the game room. "Find your name and put stuff in your binder. Oh, and there is one strict rule around here. If you steal, you have a high chance of dying."

"Dying?"

"Yes, they burned the last thief alive. Sometimes they do nothing." The squirrel shivered.

Her memory quickly jumped back to that twisted rhyme. "Isn't that a bit extreme? What is there to steal?"

"The cards. Sasha and Tasha sometimes like to play, anyone who wins against them gets a reward. Everyone's cards are in this room. None of us can stop you, but they might."

"Do we keep the cards after servicing mammals?"

"No, they'll confiscate those. A few of us have begged Sasha and Tasha for more cards as a result."

"Is this worth anything?" Judy pointed to the piece of paper she was holding.

"Yes, they might lie about the points you have if you don't keep track."

Judy placed the piece of paper in the binder. "This one's useless, it expired already. The other side says, 'Ancient Bunnyburrow.' Is that worth anything?"

"I don't really keep up with it. I just know it exists and that some of us play. It would take over a year to get a full deck by yourself."

"Did they enslave everyone? Has anyone escaped? What's the longest one that's been here?"

"I think someone's been here for five years already. Don't know if any have escaped or if anyone's here willingly, but I hope no one is. If anyone's here willingly, it would be Sasha and Tasha."

Judy placed the Ancient Bunnyburrow card into the binder. She kept the other two in her paws. "I need to get rid of these two."

"Good luck, you have about an hour left to decide to do something with your purple one."

"How long have you been here?"

"Three years."

"Have you tried to escape?"

"Not yet. Life could be so much worse. The two that returned here unwillingly had their tongues removed. They hadn't tried to run away since. All they ask is that we have sex a few times a day, it's not so bad. We get a place to live and good food and some games. Well, see you around." The squirrel walked away.

She didn't like the sound of that. The squirrel sounded somewhat hopeful as if she liked living here. Although the penalty for failing to escape was harsh. She went back to the dining room, looking to get rid of the two cards that she had. Quite a few mammals were trying to trade cards, some of them were willing to barter sexual favors in addition to the trade.

"I'll take this one," a rabbit said.

"Do you want anything?" Judy studied the grey rabbit.

"Just do me a favor later. The name's Marina." She took the purple card.

She traded her yellow card away for one that required her to service a fox along with preferences of anal and oral listed and cum. It was only worth forty points, however.

The fox would be waiting for her in about thirty minutes. Maybe, it was an unwise decision, but she decided to eat lunch - a quick salad to quench her hunger. As unexpected as it was - the food here was good.

After a quick bite, she went to the room and waited for the fox to arrive.

"Hello," she greeted the fox. "What can I do for you?"

"Put this on." He took out a diaper.

"I'm out of here."

The fox tried to tackle her, but she kicked him in the face and ran to the nearest panther.

"This fox is causing problems. He tried to diaper me." She showed the panther the yellow card in her paw.

"Go to the front desk."

She went to the front desk as instructed. The panther brought the complaining fox here as well.

"Hey, Judy," Sasha said. "Do you want to play again?"

"He's causing problems," the panther said. "Tried to ask for extra service."

"Giving you twenty points for that."

"She wasn't willing to play," the fox complained.

"And you tried to make her provide extra service. Will you pay the fine?" Tasha asked.

"She's the problem here."

"Is she now? Shall we watch the video?"

"You're going to trust her?" The fox was angry. "She's a good for nothing slut."

"I'll take that as a yes. Sasha, this will take a few minutes." Tasha led them to a room with a ton of surveillance cameras.

Judy noted that the room had two panther guards stationed outside.

The footage displayed the fox trying to put a diaper on Judy.

"So, are you going to pay the fine?" Tasha asked.

"How much?"

"A thousand."

"That's outrageous. Go to hell."

"Sounds like a fabulous idea. Let's go to hell." Tasha giggled.

They went to the bathroom next where there was a trap door. Other mammals were having sex in the stalls but that wasn't even a concern to them. The fox did want to linger, but Tasha didn't permit it.

"Welcome to hell. Foxes were made by the devil or I think that's how the legend goes. You might survive."

"Isn't this a bit harsh?" Judy said. She can't believe they were about to toss the protesting fox into the furnace.

"Are you saying that you want to be raped?"

"Well no, but I don't think he should die."

"See? The slut misses me," the fox said. "She can't live without my intoxicating scent."

"Actually, can I toss him in?" Judy asked.

"Sure!" Tasha said.

Judy tossed the fox into the furnace. The devil didn't make this fox after all. She enjoyed the sounds the fox made before he became silent.

"I knew you'd like it here."

"No, I actually want to leave."

"You can leave at any time. Once beyond these premises, it might be quite unsafe. I think there's a wolf that collects tongues."

"Why don't you provide me with an escort then?" Judy knew they wouldn't let her go, but she wanted to try to persuade them anyway. "At least, long enough until I meet my friends."

"Because I don't want to risk losing them. Anyway, let me know if someone else gives you trouble."

Judy took that as her cue to leave. She was on the lookout for yet another yellow card. This time, she didn't have one to trade. Part of her wondered if she had to offer sexual favors to receive one.

"Anyone have yellow cards?" she asked in the dining room.

"I'll give you these two," a squirrel said.

One was a purple card that she would receive no points for. Another was a yellow card. The yellow card was worth sixty points and the purple one was worth eighty. Judy inspected the fetishes on them and thought if she was fine with them.

"Sure."

There was an hour for her to waste. She tried to trade the cards she had once again for something better. The hour went by without her completing a single trade and it was time for her to perform again.

She waited in the room for the wolf to arrive.

Oh no. She recognized this wolf as Marvin. "What are you doing here?" her voice quivered.

"Listen, I was... I went... maybe a bit overboard," Marvin said. "Please allow me to apologize."

"Don't suppose you can get me out of here?"

"Can't do that even if I wanted to."

"Go on, enjoy the rest of your day. I consider this finished."

"You're letting me go?" Judy asked.

"Do you want to play with me?"

Judy simply walked out of the room. If the wolf wasn't lying then he didn't have the same power as he did before. Back then, he acted as if he owned the place. She didn't expect to see him here again.

There were three hours until the task on the yellow card. She went to the dining room to pick out some food to eat once more. There were mammals bartering cards back and forth just like always. The entire place probably had about fifty slaves.

She decided to eat some pineapple. There were utensils so she used them to cut it into chunks.

"Can you help me?" a rabbit asked. "I still have this."

Judy inspected the purple card. It was quite the ask and worth three hundred points. "Sorry." Two hours and no limits with a fox sounded like a really bad time.

"I'll be your slave," the rabbit offered.

"Not into that."

"No, I mean for a month."

"I'll pass." Judy resumed eating the pineapple she picked out.

"I tried everyone; I think. You're my last hope."

"Not interested."

"I'm going to get a blue card next week because of this."

"Why's that so bad?"

"You get on their bad side, and those tasks usually lead to alternative bargains. Sometimes those deals end up lasting a month. Then once you're free of that, they assign you even harder tasks the following week."

Judy wondered if the rabbit she saw the leopard torturing in the toilet earlier was on a blue task. "I can't help you with that. Did you ever piss them off?"

"I didn't want to play with them when we first met. I think they're still angry about that. It's been over a year."

"So, you've completed blue tasks before?"

The rabbit shook her head. "No, I just took up a ton of yellow cards to avoid it. They keep on giving me higher and higher purple cards and no one wants to do them. I just don't know how I'll manage this week."

It could've easily been her. She nearly turned those two down. "I'm sorry."

"Thanks for listening. Maybe, it won't be that bad." The rabbit smiled pitifully. She went towards other tables hoping for someone to help her.

She went to the computer room - it had no online access just as she imagined. It would be way too ludicrous if it did. They had a decent selection of offline games, however.

Her final client was a fox that wanted her for two hours. Once again, she was in a room waiting for a client to show up.

The fox had an empty water bottle in his paw. "Fill it with your cum. I don't care how."

Judy blinked. "How much of it?"

"All of it. I want it full."

"I might not be able to do what you want within the allotted time."

"That doesn't sound like my problem. Shouldn't you get started?"

"What happens if I fail?" Judy asked.

"That depends, doesn't it?"

She started pleasuring herself. Her first orgasm was fine - she produced a small amount of fluid. "I don't think this is going to work."

"Looks like you're going to fail," the fox said.

Judy wasn't sure if this was her problem or if it qualified as abuse. She knew that she wasn't going to succeed within the timeframe. "Let me see what I can do."

The fox followed her outside. She hoped that the panthers would be able to help her. "His request seems impossible for me to fulfill."

"Come." The panthers led her to the front desk once more.

Judy explained the problem as best as she could. Sasha took the card and took time to think.

"Tricky," Sasha said. "It's not unreasonable, but that doesn't mean it's reasonable for you to fulfill. Do you have any alternate plans?"

The fox shook his head.

"I'll take care of this one then. Come."

Sasha led them to another room. The room seemed to provide an easy way to play involving electricity. The fox excused himself, "I'll be outside. Just let me know when you're done."

"Umm, I'm scared," Judy said. She didn't include that on her kink list.

"Don't be. Nearly everything here is by consent after all," Sasha said. "Wear this for me." The rabbit took off her diaper.

"It's wet," Judy said.

"And? You did list it as one of your fetishes."

"Is it too late to edit?"

"You may if you're willing to pay a cost but only after this."

"Cost?"

"We roll two twenty-sided dice and multiply it together. That's how many points it'll cost you to remove something. There's no shame in going negative then we can really have fun."

Judy put the wet diaper on since she didn't have much choice in the matter.

Sasha instructed her how to set everything up. Under her guidance, Judy strapped Sasha to the chair and attached metal clamps to her nipples and clitoris. She gagged Sasha with a ball gag. There was a container to catch any fluids that Sasha might excrete. With some hesitation, she flicked everything on.

Judy watched Sasha writhe in agony as the contraption made her climax over and over again. She could see tears running down the rabbit's eyes. The goal was to leave Sasha there for an hour. It wasn't to her taste so she chose not to watch. Her thoughts also drifted to how unsafe everything was - it wouldn't take much for an accident to occur and Sasha could easily die.

There were no guards, so was Sasha gullible, or was she suicidal? It wouldn't take much for Sasha to order one of the panthers to set everything up instead. She was so vulnerable in her current position. It didn't make sense.

Judy joined the fox outside the room. "It's been on my mind, how come not a single one of you reports this to the police? You know we're all slaves here, right?"

"Oh, but some do, just not ones at this level," the fox said. "I think this is classified as level four. Police might get level three once in a while. Being here is a privilege."

"So, do you just get off on sexually abusing others?"

"I prefer to think of it as paying for entertainment."

"I wouldn't be here if I had a choice."

"Many mammals don't like the jobs that they do. They do it out of necessity. I don't see why I should care so much for this specific one. Your particular background may be less than ideal."

"Have you considered paying for prostitutes legally?"

"They don't provide as high quality of service, and there's limited selection also highly inconvenient at times. Sometimes it's illegal to purchase but not to sell. Mammals use Pawmazon for delivery despite what they ask their workers to do. Their employees pee in bottles because of limited toilet breaks. The only difference here is that the law chooses not to recognize this as legal yet."

Judy couldn't believe that he compared this place to an online retailer. "Probably because it involves kitnapping and slavery?"

"Which is horrible, I'm sure, but unpayable debt isn't much better. Both mammals work in jobs they would not want to. The difference is that society is willing to help one, but not the other. Maybe society blames them for predicaments beyond their control. You get free food here, access to shelter, and some games. Why is it so much better if money was actually involved, and you're left with even less? You might not be receiving money, but you're having a better life than the poorest of the poor. That's not even considering other countries. Anyway, this place provides superior services, so I'm here. As far as I'm concerned, one is illegal and the other isn't for arbitrary reasons. Both involve forcing mammals to work against their will. This place has quite the selection in what you can experience."

"They could find other jobs," Judy said.

"Just like you can run away, but you choose not to."

"They'll stop me."

"And what makes you think that they're going to be successful in finding a better job? Who would willingly tolerate horrible working conditions if they had a choice?"

"Is there anyway I can persuade you to help me escape?"

"Too risky, and there's nothing that you can offer me."

Judy sighed. She couldn't leave this room unattended either since if something went wrong. She was sure that they would find her responsible. It was probably one way to die if another mammal came in and messed with the settings if they didn't find an even worse fate for her.

Time passed slowly and given the few sound she did pick up, if Sasha wasn't gagged, the screams would be extremely loud. It was strange that Sasha did this of her own volition. The torture couldn't end soon enough, since she thought that Sasha would be vengeful. It was better to aim for slightly under an hour than even a second over so she stopped it at fifty-nine minutes.

She flicked off the electricity. There was more than enough liquid to fill a water bottle, so the fox should be happy. The bound rabbit had dried tears around her reddened eyes. She removed the gag from Sasha, expecting a few curse words.

Sasha moaned from what she experienced.

Judy removed all the restraints.

It took Sasha ten minutes to compose herself enough to move off the chair. She kept moaning in ecstasy.

"That was something," Sasha said. "Looks like we have some extra to play with." She filled the water bottle, and there was still some left. "Here you go." She passed the water bottle to the fox.

"I want to see you find someone willing to drink it."

"I would do that for a price," Sasha said. "Now, what to do with the rest of this? Quite a waste to throw it away." She scratched her chin in thought. "Come." She brought the container with her.

They went to the dining room where Sasha took an empty water bottle. She poured the remaining fluid into the bottle filling it halfway. Their next stop was the initial room that Judy was in.

"Get down on all fours and put your ass in the air. Stay still," Sasha instructed. She poured her cum into Judy's asshole.

"What are you doing?" Judy asked.

"I did something for you, so it's only fair that you do something for me." Sasha took a butt plug from the wall and jammed it into Judy's ass, sealing her cum inside. "Now, keep that in for the rest of the day. You still need to find someone to drink the cum that I produced. I think you have ten minutes left. Better hurry if you don't want to fail. Of course, I can drink it if you're willing to do something else for me."

Judy rushed to the dining room hoping to find someone. The butt plug in her ass rubbed against her insides with every step, but she was able to ignore the discomfort. The rabbit struggling to find someone to fulfill the task on her purple card was more than willing to do so without any conditions.

"Thank you." Judy thought that the rabbit was hoping that she would have a change of heart.

The rabbit didn't seem to enjoy the taste when she drank the cum. The fox was busy pawing himself off during that. His cum landed on the floor.

"Now, was that so hard, Holly?" Sasha said.

"Does this mean, that you don't hate me anymore?" Holly asked. "And that I don't have to do this?" She pointed to the purple card.

"You never had to do that in the first place if you're willing to accept the penalty. It's your choice. Clean the floor up, will you? Cum shouldn't be here."

Holly started licking the floor obediently. She made a face with every lick.

"Thanks for visiting, Cameron," Sasha said to the fox. She turned to Judy. "Come to the front desk at midnight to get the plug removed."

There were still two hours until midnight. Judy could remove the plug on her own, but there would be severe consequences if she did. Whenever she moved, it bothered her.

She went to the bathroom to clean herself and get ready for bed. It was a bit strange trying to shower with a butt plug in her ass, but she managed it. The plug made it impossible for her to enjoy other activities. She went to the front desk an hour early.

"You're here early," Sasha said.

"I don't have anything else to do. I just want to get this over with and sleep."

"I guess I don't need to ask you to wait another hour." Sasha pointed to the empty glass on the counter. "Get up here and empty yourself into that glass. I recommend clenching so you don't spill or I will be very angry."

Judy hopped on the counter. She had to clench ass when Sasha removed the plug. Sasha instructed her to slowly relax her muscles. The cum pouring out of her ass eventually filled the glass. Her aim was good enough so that it didn't land outside.

"Drink."

"This?"

"Allowable within your list of kinks. There isn't a problem, is there?"

"No." Judy shook her head. She looked at the cloudy milky fluid that was in the glass. Hesitantly, she lifted the glass to her lips. A slight taste made her grimace which was only natural considering where it was from.

Sasha tapped her foot impatiently but remained silent.

Thinking that one big swallow would make her suffer less than slowly sipping it. She poured it all into her mouth. "Eww."

"Open your mouth," Tasha said. She used her tongue to probe the inside of Judy's mouth. "Tasty."

The rabbits called for two panthers to take over their jobs. They escorted Judy to the beds where they made her sleep with her nose in Tasha's pussy and most of her head in Tasha's clean diaper. Her butt was near Tasha's mouth as a result.

"I'm not into this," Judy could breathe but it was difficult. With every breath she took, she inhaled Tasha's scent.

"Well, the form you filled out says you are. Good night." Tasha licked Judy's asshole. "I can still taste my sister. You had more in you."

"It's my turn tomorrow." Sasha was sleeping just beside them.

"What about consent and all that?" Judy asked.

It didn't help that Tasha was continuously probing Judy's asshole with her tongue.

"I hope you will tomorrow. Consider today's events payment for the favor I did for you."

"I thought that was drinking that glass."

"No, it ends when we finish playing with my cum. I think my sister is swallowing it and enjoying herself though. Go to sleep."

"How can I sleep like this? My nose Is in her pussy, and she's licking me still."

"Fine, then just wait until it's morning. Make sure your nose remains where it is as a way of thanking her. You do enjoy her tongue, do you not?"

"Somewhat enjoyable, but I can't sleep."

"Sister, stop please, and allow her to rest."

Tasha stopped licking. "Aww."

"There we go. Good night."

Judy couldn't sleep in her current position. All she could smell was Tasha's scent. Tasha moved her nose to Judy's asshole and started inhaling and rubbing her nose against it. Sasha was already asleep or seemed like it, so waking her would be unwise.

Time passed very slowly for Judy, and she was aware of Tasha's antics. Part of her wondered if she would be in trouble if she cummed.

---

There were lots of mammals to interrogate as a result of what they uncovered yesterday. The criminals did a poor job of destroying the surveillance room which allowed them to recover valuable data. Nick and Nadine were going to bring one of those panthers. They had the panther there on camera at times, just cleaning.

"We would like to talk to you at the station," Nick said.

The panther didn't try to run away. He went with them willingly to the police station. They had the escort the panther to the interrogation room. Nick and Nadine sat together while they talked to the panther.

"Do you know why you're here, Logan?" Nick asked.

"Of course, it's the one time that the authorities actually care," Logan said. "What do you want?"

"Can you explain to us why you were there?" Nadine asked.

"I worked there as a janitor. They suddenly decided to fire me."

"Did you know that was a sex trafficking ring?"

"Yes."

Nick couldn't believe that the panther gave them a straight answer. "Why didn't you report it?"

"Oh, I simply decided not to. It hasn't really worked out for me in the past. Every so often you stumble on to mammals getting it on. Sure, it probably wasn't consensual, talk it over with the girl involved, sometimes we lodge a complaint and both of us lose our jobs. I also met girls that repeatedly proclaim that 'it wasn't rape.' And that I was mistaken. Anyway, help mammals long enough, nothing changes, and I end up needing a new job. Besides, a sex trafficking ring with a computer hardware store as a front, who would believe that? It sounds even less plausible than the cybercafé that I reported which also didn't get investigated. They're still open."

"Are you claiming that you didn't take advantage of anyone there? And what's still open?" Nick said.

"It's a horrible thing that no one should enjoy. You never forget their wails even if they look just fine the next morning. The difference between this place and the other ones I've worked at was that they weren't trying to hide it. Even so, they provided reasonable accommodations that allowed me to avoid nearly all of it. No matter what happens, they usually start smiling again."

"What's still open?" Nick couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Sanguine Delight located in the Nocturnal District. I worked there for two months."

"We'll have someone check that out," Nick said. "Let's get back to our current topic. Are you aware of how many they have killed?"

Logan shook his head. "Killing someone is serious - it might finally persuade authorities to not turn a blind eye. Sexual assault is not a big deal after all."

"They decided to kill a lot of the mammals that they've been trafficking."

"So, does that mean the authorities have finally decided to care? That's why I'm here, I guess?"

"Can you help us identify any of these mammals?" Nick showed him a series of images on a tablet.

"That's Baxter, he's a sadist." Logan also gave them the address where Baxter lived.

Nick swiped over a few images until Logan pointed something else out.

"That's Mr. Fang. Don't know where he lives, but he did interview me for the job. Those of us who didn't live at the job used public transit to arrive."

"Thank you."

"Please, let me know if there's anything else I can help with."

"Don't leave the Rainforest District. We'll be in touch if we need anything else."

Nick and Nadine escorted Logan out of the police station. They entered their cruiser to plan their next move.

Nick said, "I guess it's time we pay our friend Baxter a visit."

Once they were in the cruiser, Nadine said, "I've been thinking about the comment he made regarding Sanguine Delights in the Nocturnal District. Was Logan telling the truth? If he was, why did nothing happen after all this time?"

"You want to check that out? I was thinking we could just pass it along to Precinct Eleven."

"If we don't keep an eye on it, maybe it'll be open a year later without any changes. We'll need to keep tabs on it if we just pass along the information that it exists. I also wonder why nothing happened the first time. Who ignored him, and why was he ignored?"

"We'll worry about that later. Baxter's house is just up ahead."

The house blended in with nature since it was part of an ancient tree. Since nature wasn't valued, it had to be cheap despite its rarity.

"ZPD! Open up!" Nadine said.

Since there was no response, Nadine broke down the door. The place was extremely tiny with a single bed and a laptop that was still on. Someone happened to send Baxter an email that seemed to solicit a transaction for something.

"So, someone wants to buy something from him, and they're using cryptocurrency," Nadine said. "Past email records have been purged except the most recent message and one that contained this link. I guess our suspect hasn't returned home since the incident." She entered the link, seeing where it would lead. "Really? Another link?" Another link greeted her when she went to the next address. "Again?" The process went on until it led to a video.

The video featured a twisted game between Judy and Rafael. It was over six hours long. Unfortunately, turned off during the first minute due to a power surge.

"Really?" Nick said. "And it won't turn back on. We are taking it with us. Do you remember the link to the video?"

Nadine shook her head.
