[Suspense] [Drama] [Sad] [Rated M-16] Take the most lighthearted story you can think of. This is the opposite of that. This is a very realistic portrayal of what some of the risks involved in Police work are, and is not for the faint of heart. But man will it tug on your heartstrings.

Description: To protect and serve the citizens of Zootopia, an officer must be willing to give his or her all. But the weight of the badge is heavy, and the price all officers must pay will be steep. When a simple call goes wrong, all are reminded of the burden of standing on the thin blue line.

As much as I hope he's going to make it, I have a nagging suspicion he won't, maybe that's just me :/ on that note, the writing is amazing thus far!
