Case Of The Furry Tail

Judy was relaxing in the passenger seat of Nick's Zoo Rover as the fox in question looked over to his right and smiled at how relaxed her being was, he pulled over onto a gas station as he had forgotten to fill it up before he left for the concert, he had made a mental note to fill it up after and luckily, he remembered because the last thing he wanted to do was to break down in the rump end of nowhere with no repellent or his dart gun, he pulled up to the gas station and jumped out and closed the door, an act that had woken up Judy with a bit of a jolt if she was perfectly honest. She looked around wondering why her room was suddenly much smaller, and had the distinct scent of Nick on it... not that she was against the idea of nick being in her room and... Judy blushed hard slapping her cheeks awake and shaking her head to get such unclean thoughts out her head ' come on Judy... you know we cant do that... even though we did kiss... yeah.. we did kiss didn't we? '

Judy puts a paw to her lips and then smiled as the night's events started coming back to her, thats right.. it was her birthday today! She hopped up onto the seat and stared out the window in the the murky darkness looking around for a indication for where they were, as much as she could make out... and considering it was probably more than 70 degrees... they were in Savannah square's petrol station, how their gas didn't explode or spontaneously combust was beyond her, but then it wasn't her job to over think the safety of gasoline pumps was it? well... maybe. But it was her day off, so she left it in a mental note to figure it out.

" You awake there Carrots? " Judy's ears swiveled around to the person's voice and found none other than Nick staring at her through the window with his trademark smirk " Ahhh! " She fell onto her rump and threw a toothpick at Nick's nose " Stupid Fox! " she sat down cross armed and pouting, something the fox found highly amusing, he bent over through the window and put his head next to her's and chuckled deeply " You know~ You love me~ " the rabbit faced him with a wide smile and kissed those adorable furry red cheeks " Yes.. yes i do Nick. " she goes back to sitting quietly until she looks up and see's a preybucks and taps his shoulder " Hey Nick? You want a coffee? " Judy stepped out of the rover and pulled some money out of her purse and leaned against the car " Sure Carrots. A double Shot Coffee please, one sugar " he finishes up fueling up the car and pays with his masterbucks card at the pump and then sits back down, Judy then comes back out a few minutes later with a Mocha for herself and a Double shot coffee for Nick, she hops up the rover's child step and sits back down putting the coffee down in the holders " Thanks Carrots. " He smiles and picks it up sipping the liquid and smacking his lips happily in appreciation " Not a bad one Carrots. " he puts the cup down and starts the ignition humming a little tune " Hey Nick? " Nick pulls out of the gas station and then looks at Judy quickly before looking back to the road " What is it? " Judy sips her mocha and yawns a little " Why do you always call me Carrots? " she looks up at him expecting an answer " Why? hmmm... I suppose thats because... hang on... "

Nick quickly switches on the brightest headlamps and notices that a wounded animal was laying against a broken down factory wall " Judy! " he says suddenly as he pulls up and jumps out the car " I'm on it! " She replies jumping out and running towards the injured what appeared to look like a Jaguar, she pulls out a radio and looks around for Nick who had gone to scout the area " This is Officer Hopps, report a 09-04 suspect not in the vicinity, need a ambulance right away, Street name is Kit street in Savannah Square " she puts her radio down and presses her paws to the Jaguar's wound on his stomach, Nick comes back and shakes his head " Who ever the assailant was, they're gone now " he bends down and looks at the jaguar's deep abdominal wound, it was bleeding too quickly " You'll be alright sir.. This is Officer Hopps and i'm Officer Wilde.. do you have a name? " the Jaguar looked up at the pair and smiled slightly " Ah... the two who cracked the Night howler case... " he coughs a little and hands them a piece of paper and goes limp

" Sir? Sir!? " Judy shakes him a little and Nick checks his pulse " He's still breathing Judy, keep applying pressure, I'm pretty sure I've got a first aid kit in the rover! " Nick Sprints back to the rover and opens the boot, he grabs the gauze and painkillers and closes the boot, he dashes back to the wounded animal and nods to Judy " Ready... now! " Judy lets go so Nick could wrap and clean his wound the best he could, Nick sweats he lifts up the now bandaged animal and brings him to the back of his Rover as the ambulances roll in, they look at each other in concern as they realize that what ever did this is still out there.

Nick looks at the piece of paper as the news starts to roll in and hides it in his t-shirt pocket " Nick? " Judy says in a little fear " What is it Judy? " the fox looks down at the rabbit in fear as she begins to point towards the darkness "W-What is that... " Nick looks at her direction and notices two beady yellow eyes staring at them from the darkness and starts running away " Stay here Judy! " he grabs the flashlight in his back and runs after the pair of eyes " Officer Wilde Stop in the name of the law! " he growls and runs faster " NIIICK! " Judy tries to run towards her friend but is suddenly stopped by the news trying to ask her questions " No questions at this time- Get out of the way!- Nick! " Judy fights against the journalists and can only watch as Nick disappears into the darkness, armed only with a torch.

Nick panted heavily chasing after the incredibly fast.. whatever he was after, he looks around noticing that it had led him into the woods and was infested with shrubbery and growth, he swiveled his head round trying to find the creature but found nothing but the seemingly never ending patch of darkness, seeing that he was a fox, he had incredibly good night vision, but this darkness had even him struggling to find whatever he was looking for, he turned to the moon and saw that it was mostly covered by trees... all except one patch. He decided that if anywhere was gonna give him a lead, it was most likely that area.

Nick delved deeper into the woods and found a piece of a ripped T-shirt, the same color as the jaguar that they had encountered minutes earlier, he decided that it was probably a good idea to grab what he needed and then blow the stand, he took the strip with his claws and put it in his pocket and started walking back, lest he be the next victim of this thing. He stepped over the fallen branches and dead leaves as he heard a light growling... whatever this thing was it was close... and it was annoyed.. Nick slowly turned his head to look at the direction of the growl. and not a meter away... was the yellow eyes.. staring into him... Nick gulped and slowly backed away not taking his eyes off of the creature, it suddenly pounced and Nick with it, He started sprinting through the woods ducking and dodging trees never looking back because he knew that if he did, it might have been the last thing he ever did, he took a quick left turn and panted stopping for a second considering he no longer heard the creatures growling, he leaned against a tree and wiped his forehead to wipe the sweat that had formed on it, warm... red... sweat... ' RED!? ' Nick screamed in his mind and then looked up, the creature was on the tree on top of him, eating a carcass of what looked like a feral rabbit, he hoped to god that it wasn't Judy.

Nick started off in his run once again ducking and dodging trees until his foot was caught in hole where a bunny had dug, the speed and trajectory he had entered and exited the hole had made his leg twist with a sickening crack, he had broken his leg... Nick let out a pain/horror filled yell as the creature started growling even more getting closer and closer, Nick backed away dragging himself as far as he can as his hand laid on the flashlight, he looked at it and flashed the light on the creature as it hissed and covered its face running away into the darkness, Nick's heart beats hard as he breathes through his nose and mouth trying to catch his breath as he slowly raised to his good leg and make his way out of the woods and back to the greatly lit gas station, Judy looks to the right after conversing with Bogo what happened and puts her hand over her mouth, the last thing Nick heard before he succumbed to unconsciousness was Judy screaming his name and paramedics surrounding him.
