Judy hummed as she took a bottle of carrot juice from the mini-fridge she had recently added to her room. The one Nick had helped her pick out. She chuckled when she remembered him saying that if she kept eating carrots she would actually turn into one.
"Dumb Fox." She had said, mockingly poking him in the ribs. Nick had swatted her hand away saying "I'm saying the truth Carrots. If you keep eating them I'll have a better reason to call you carrots." His smug grin stuck on his face as he said that.
Honestly Judy couldn't have picked a better partner. Her phone started buzzing from her desk. Judy picked it up and saw the picture of her mom and dad, requesting a skype.
"Hey honey!" Her mom squealed when she hit the green button.
"Hi mom, dad." Judy said happy that her parents decided to call.
"So how's it going in the big city?" Her dad asked making quote signs with his paws. "Great! Nick and I solved another case just recently." Judy said.
Her dad lifted a paw to his chin. "Nick… That's the fox, right?" he asked. "Yep." Judy said mentally rolling her eyes for what her dad was about to say.
"Remember to always carry the fox spray we gave you." Her dad said with an serious look. Her mom swatted him in the shoulder. "Honey! That's not the way to speak about Judy's future boyfriend." Her mom scolded. "Wait what?!" Judy exclaimed, feeling the blush creep up her cheeks. Her mom made a knowing smirk. "Nothing honey, I'm sure you and Nick will get along just fine." Her mom said smugly, looking somewhat like Nick. "Mo-om!" Judy whined. Her mom chuckled and her dad just stood there with an confused look. "Wait, boyfriend? What is she-" "Okay bye gotta go! Love you!" Judy exclaimed, quickly hitting the call ending button.
She sighed as she leaned deeper into the chair. Her parents never seemed to say the right things. "We know you hanged up so you dint have to deal with your dad!" Came the yell from the other side of the room. "Shut up!" came the retort of another voice. Judy rolled her eyes at her noisy neighbors. She changed into her pajamas and got ready for bed. Getting under the covers, she thought of the day that followed. Maybe Bogo was going to give them another case. Judy was fine with it as long as she had Nick by her side. With the last thought stuck on her mind, Judy closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Judy opened her eyes suddenly wide awake. For a moment she thought her neighbors had waken her up. But the other side was dead quiet. It was still dark out, and Judy wasn't sure what had waken her up. Then her phone ringed again. Judy let out a groan. "I swear mom and dad, you are so-" Judy looked at the screen. It wasn't her parents, but Nick. "Huh, wonder what's up with him." Judy thought as she answered the call.
"Judy!" Nick's voice exclaimed as she answered.
"Nick? What are you doing calling this late?" Judy questioned.
"Judy listen to me." Nick said. He sounded like he was running. Judy knew that Nick only used her real name when things got serious. "Judy you need to get out of your apartment, now!" Nick said. Suddenly gun shots sounded from the background.
"Nick?! What's going on?!" Judy exclaimed suddenly worried. "Are those gun shots?!" A whistling sound came from her phone followed by Nick's panting.
"No time to explain. Just get out!" Nick exclaimed before the phone beeped as the call hanged up. "Nick?! Hello?!" Judy said desperately.
"Oh gods, there were gun shots! Is Nick ok?! What's going on?!" Judy's mind was buzzling with questions. "Ok Judy calm down. You need to calm down." Judy though to herself. "I have to call ZPD!" She rapidly marked Bogo's phone number.
"Hello?" a sleepy Bogo answered.
"Chief? It's me Officer Hops." Judy said hurriedly. She was about to tell him about Nick's call but was interrupted by the Chief.
"Officer Hops? Why are on earth are you calling at this hour?" Bogo asked. Judy suddenly heard a sound at the door. Judy stared at it for a moment, the sound coming again. The door barged open all of a sudden, two figures wearing matching black uniforms bargging in.
"Officer Hops? What's going on over there?" Bogo questioned. One of the figures tried to grad her arm, but Judy was smarter than that. Once the figure leaned over she jumped on his back, and out the door before the other one grabbed her. She ran down the stairs and onto the streets, running with all her might.
"Officer Hops! I command you to explain what's going on!" Bogo yelled from the other side of the phone. Judy had completely forgotten he was still in line.
"Chief, I'm getting chased by some dudes dressed in black! Nick called earlier and seemed to be getting chased too. I heard gun shots in the background!" Judy informed without stopping. Her legs ached but she still kept running.
"What is your position?" Bogo asked. "Umm… I'm running down Street 378 from the express free-way." Judy said. She suddenly started hearing gun being shot at her. "Any shelter you can find nearby?" Bogo asked again. Judy looked around. "I can go down-" Judy gasped out of a sudden, a pain shooting up her leg and making her collapse. "Officer Hops? Officer Hops can you hear me?" Bogo kept asking from the other side of the phone. Judy became woozy, realizing that the bullet had been a tranquilizer. Before she lost her concise, she managed to slip out 2 more words into the phone. "Help us…"
Then it all became black.
