Judy and her new partner Nick were sitting to in the ZPD squad car, waiting.
"So what's the suspect look like again, Carrots?" Nick asked.
Judy sighed and rolled her eyes at the nickname. "A giraffe, long scar across his neck, green eyes."
"Something tells me we won't get a good look of his eyes." Nick chuckled.
"Nick...please..." Judy pleaded.
Nick smirked. "Wow, you've stopped being fun on duty."
"It's just the last time we goofed off on duty, the suspect almost got away!"
"Cheetahs are natural runners, we wouldn't have been able to catch up with her anyway." Nick commented. Judy huffed. "Hey, come on, where's the Carrots I know and love?"
He pawed at her face and she tried to withhold a giggle. "Nick...stop..."
He noticed a smile starting to crack on her face and pawed more.
"Stop..." She said again, this time unable to hold in her giggles. "St-Ow!"
Startled Nick pulled back,his claws were streaked with blood. He panicked and looked over to see Judy holding her blood stained cheek.
"J-Judy I-I'm sorry." Nick stuttered out.
Judy lifted her paw from her cheek and looked horrified.
She remembered when she was nine again, how Gideon clawed her face in spite. Although she knew this was accident, she still felt terrified. Slowly Judy shifted her eyes to the fox and her breath hitched involuntarily.
"Come on...We should go back." Nick said, gently, putting a paw on her shoulder. He pulled away when this action made her flinch.
They sat in an uncomfortable silence as Judy drove back to ZPD.
Sorry this chapter was short, but the next one will be longer.
