Finally, the officially canon sequel to Ambition is here! If you're new, than I suggest you read Ambition first to get familiar with a few certain characters in the story, or not. Your choice.
The ever so annoying alarm clock set at 5:30 AM on Judy Hopps' desk next to her bed went off. Groaning in frustration, she slowly got up and proceeded to shut off the alarm. After waking up a bit, she exited her shockingly small apartment and entered the bathroom across the hallway and had a shower.
Judy continued her morning routine she had gotten used to; have shower, get dressed, have coffee and go meet Nick at the ZPD headquarters before starting work.
The rabbit exited and locked the door before heading outside and into the streets of Zootopia. Luckily the station wasn't too far from her place, only a five minute walk.
People all around her walked to their destinations in a hurried pace. Cars drove from one place to the next, occasionally almost hitting a jaywalker before getting an angry yell back.
"Classy Zootopia." She said to herself.
The ZPD headquarters came into view after turning a corner. Not even 2 minutes later, the bunny was inside the headquarters.
Immediately she noticed the person she knew most in the city; Nick Wilde. A sweet, charming fox that claimed he made would make $200 a day, or he did, anyway.
He was busy talking to their other friend at the reception, Benjamin Clawhauser. Probably the most well known officer other than the Chief himself.
"Hey, Carrots!" Nick called and waved.
"What's up, you two?" Judy ran over to the desk.
"Nothin'" Their overweight friend said. "Just debating on what the next case'll be."
"I say leave it to the FBI. I ain't gonna deal with that crap for another decade." The fox exaggerated.
"Ha-ha. Get used to it, Nick." She said, looking up at him. "Better get on shift before you-know-who gets upset." Neither could agree more and decided to say goodbye to Ben and start the shift.
The two cops went out back to their police cruiser. "Who's driving? Me?" Nick asked.
Judy cast him a glance. "Nah, I still don't trust you. Wasn't that like, the first time you've driven in years?" He nodded. "Thought so. No driver's seat for you."
He gave her the puppy eyes and flattened his ears, but got a negative response as his friend proceeded to enter the car and start it up. He got in the passenger seat and put on his favourite aviator sunglasses as they drove out of the police parking lot and turned on the police radio.
"So... doing anything tonight, Fluff?"
"Nope. You?"
"Probably gonna hang with Fin. Try to get him to stop smoking."
"Ever smoked before?"
"Once, hated it. Never smoked again." Nick turned his head out the window to see a sheep drunk out of their mind. "Uh, Carrots, better check this guy out." He poked at her and pointed at the mammal in the street.
The car pulled over and stopped. The duo got out and confronted the sheep.
"Ayyyy! Wassup guys..." He said. Judy barked a police code into the radio as Nick confronted him.
"Doing good. Looks like you had a nice night. Anyway, I want you to do a couple of things for me, please." His partner took notice of his manners.
"I never knew Officer Wilde could say please!" She called. Nick waved her off and continued to do a sobriety test.
"Alright. Without moving your head, I want you to simply just look at this pen." He took out a pen and held it up as high as he could. "And just follow it with your eyes, nothin' else. Got it?"
"Hey, man. I got business to a-attend..." He said
"I'm sure you do, sir. Be cooperative and you'll be on your way." Judy reassured.
"J-just lemme go. I gotta deliver the stuff to my boss, aight?"
"What kind of stuff?" Nick asked.
"Y'know, this purple flower or whatever. Gotta bring a whole bunch of em' for the meeting in a few d-days." Judy jumped up and grabbed the pen out of Nick's paw and wrote the info down on a notepad.
After noting what the sheep said, she continued to ask questions. "Where's this 'meeting' and when?"
"Uhhhh... I think it's at an office building in Downtown. In aboooouuut... 3 days..." The rabbit continued to write notes down as Nick just stood there.
"Which building?" The fox officer asked. The sheep pointed to a sandy-brown building only a few blocks away.
"Thank you sir, now for your personal safety, you will be placed under arrest." The perpetrator stood there dumbfounded as Nick cuffed him.
"Why am I goin' to jail?"
She stopped and thought of an answer. "Uh, it's for your personal safety. Everything will be explained once you're a little sober." They loaded into the back of the police car.
"Hi!" A young voice called. Both officers turned to see a small hippo with her mother there. "My Mommy wishes you stay alive." Judy gave a thumbs ups before entering the car with Nick.
"We better get a promotion for this!" Nick cheered in excitement.
"You know how the Chief is. I doubt it."
"You have a point, Fluff. Now let's get this joker off the streets." He turned on the police radio and picked up the microphone and gave Ben the good news.
"Hey, you back there! One last question." The rabbit called while still paying attention to the road.
"Y-yeah?"
"Who's in this meeting of yours?"
"Uhh, lemme think." He took a moment to remember. "My boss... A weird lookin' fox... And that's it."
Both cops shrugged.
Kinda a typical start, but oh well.
