They laid in the bed panting after the deed, and they looked at each other, it was always this feeling after. It was wrong, and know one would understand, they both thought. Judy curled up, and turned away. She couldn't look at him in they eyes, and Nick let out a sigh. He reached for her, she wouldn't know it, but he loved her. She blocked his arm, receded further into the bed.
"Why do you always do this, Carrots, you never want to talk about it," Nick asked her letting his frustration seep through his lips. She remained quiet. Again, he let out a sigh, and moved off the bed, grabbing his uniform, and putting his clothing back on. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow," he whispered to the cold silence of the room. As he opened the door to the hallway, he heard a faint sound come from the bed, he turned to face her, she was upright looking right at him. They locked eyes, and she smiled.
"Of course you will, Nick, I'll always need my partner," Jusy reassured him. It wasn't what he wanted to hear from her, but it was just enough to keep him coming back the next day. He smiled back, and shut the door.
The Department was in an uproar, and no in the normal sense that both Nick and Judy were used too. They sat in the bullpen, with the others, and awaited for the Cheif to enter the room, and as the buffalo-in charge did, the room went quiet. He walked up to his podium, and looked around the room.
"Just got yet another call from downtown, there's been another victim," He said with a rasp of desperation, a new drug had been claiming victims for weeks, and the leads were running short, and the list of dead grew everyday, "I don't have to tell you that this kind of problem is going to just go away, and if we don't stop it, we'll all be having to explain to families why their loved ones are dying." The room remained quiet. They looked at their leader for answers, for which he had none.
As he handed out the reports for the day, the officers left the room determined. As he handed the last report of the day to Judy and Nick, he stopped them. "Listen, you two need to find out just were this is coming from, I know it hasn't been easy for both of you, but i'm putting my trust in you, don't let me down."
"You don't have to worry, we wil catch these monsters, no matter what," responded the deteremined Judy. She had been working all angles on this case. Using Nick's old contacts, they had been the one's getting the better leads, but all had been in vain, as they never lead anywhere. Still that didn't stop the eager bunny. She was confident that they would be bringing down this ring. Nick believed it too, but it was Judy's spirit that lead them. As they left the room, they walkied toward their car.
"Where should we look today, Judy, we've used up all the contact's I have, and I'm pretty sure that we aren't getting closer to cracking this one," asked Nick, he was expecting her to come up with some amazing plan that would save the day like the other cases they worked. However he knew that she had been stumped just like the others on this case. She looked up at him, and gave him a suspicious smile. "I don't like that look, everytime you get it, I get shot at, and I'm not going to the doctor to remove another bullet from my ass."
"Don't worry about it, I promise no bullets or suprise doctor visits, just an undercover operation," she exclaimed enthuisiastically. They continued to walk until they reached the lobby. Nick stopped in his tracks, and grabbed the bunny by her hand. "What is it, Nick," she puzzled she could tell that something was bugging him.
"Look, can we talk about, these, moments, between us. You've been dodging this since it started, and as much as I enjoy, "howling" with you, we need to figure out where this is going," Nick responded seriously. Judy's face went from one of eagerness, to one of shock. She knew what he was talking about, and quickly ran him to an outside wall of the lobby away from where Clawhauser could hear them.
"Nick this not the time, nor the place to discuss this, people might hear you," she explained to him. His face matched hers, but his had more frustration in it.
"So what, am I an embarrasment to you, or are you ashamed of what they might think of you, if they find out you've been sleeping with a different species, or maybe even a predator," he asked her with even more anger entering his tone.
"It...It's not that, Nick, look I promise tonight we'll talk about it, so will you please just drop it," Jusy pleaded to him. His face remained angry, but it dropped and he nodded. Judy felt relieved as she saw it, and they continued to walk out of the Department.
"So what did you have in mind for this little operation of yours," Nick quizzed, dropping the other matter completely.
"Were gonna go to the Watering hole, and your gonna find someone to hook you up with the new drug," Judy explained, happy to be talking about something else.
"Yep, defintely getting shot again," Nick replied back sarcastically.
They got to their car and buckled up, driving towards the Rainforest district ready to take on the day...
