"Sly Bunny."
"Dumb Fox."
A police cruiser sat at a red light, two other cars waiting patiently behind them as the occupants teased each other playfully. The passenger was a fox, while the driver was a bunny.
Officer Judy Hopps looked into the rear view mirror, adjusting it so she could get a better view of the other cars.
"Looking for something?" Officer Nick Wilde asked.
"Just staying vigilant," she responded. "This is Zootopia, anything can happen."
"Anything?"
"Anything," she confirmed. "Why? What are you up to?"
Nick shrugged, slipping one paw into his right pocked where he held tightly onto something. He glanced under the window, his signature smirk being replaced with a look of contemplation.
"Nick? Are you sure you're OK?"
"I'm fine, Carrots," he assured. "Just… thinking."
"That's new for you," she jokingly remarked.
Officer Wilde shot his partner an amused glance, before turning back to the window. It midday sun hung in the sky, lighting up the vast metropolis with its gentle glow.
The light turned green, and Judy moved the car on forwards down the street.
"Carrots, could you pull over?"
"Huh?"
"Could you pull over, please?" he repeated.
A little bewildered, Judy scanned for the nearest parking space and quickly pulled the cruiser into it. Locking the brakes in, she looked towards the fox.
"Alright, so what's happening? Asking me to pull over, looking all contemplative out the window… Nick, are you sure you're OK?"
"I really am, but there is something on my mind I really need to get out."
"Alright, what is-" Judy was interrupted when something began to come in over the police radio, something that Nick was too distracted to notice.
Unaware that his partner was focused on the radio, Nick continued on, pulling a small box out of his pocket.
"Judy, will you-"
"Roger that, we'll check it out, over," Judy stated, placing down the radio. "We've got a 415 downtown, we need to go check it out."
"Oh," Nick said, quickly pocketing the box. "A disturbance, huh? What kind?"
"There was a report of a heated argument between two buffalo that may turn ugly."
"Well, we better go make it pretty then," Nick remarked. "All right Carrots, let's get to it."
