At this moment, the loss of Addison's car requires immediate attention. Before contacting the police, he takes a few moments to consider his situation. With his phone in hand, he makes the call, fully aware of the burden of his conflicting priorities. While car theft is a relatively common crime, Addison cannot dismiss the thought of the mysterious creature that initiated this chain of events. As he waits for the police to respond, his mind works to develop a plan to address both issues simultaneously. The conversation with the dispatcher becomes increasingly complicated as he debates whether to mention the animal he is caring for. Reporting the stolen vehicle is undoubtedly urgent, yet the creature's welfare cannot be postponed. Addison's years of experience in animal rescue help him stay calm, allowing him to clearly and briefly explain the situation without losing concentration.

Despite his composed appearance, Addison feels the stress between these two urgent matters. On one hand, recovering his stolen car is essential for practical reasons. On the other, ensuring the rescued animal receives proper care is a moral obligation he cannot abandon. These conflicting priorities pull him in different directions, forcing him to balance personal loss with his commitment to protecting vulnerable lives.
