It was another day in Zootopia, the sun was shining, the birds were singing everything was peaceful. But inside of the Z.P.D department, a certain rabbit and fox were having an argument.
"No, Nick! I did not eat your sandwich!" Judy yelled.
Nick crossed his arms, glaring at his partner "Then who did? Chief Bogo!" Nick retorted Judy crossed her arms turning away from Nick.
Nick scoffed closing the fridge "I'm going back to work!" He yelled walking out of the lunchroom.
"Fine!" Judy yelled back, refusing to look at Nick, Nick exited the room going to his office entering the room Nick grumbled sitting at his desk.
Pulling out papers from a drawer he continued his rant "She can deny it all she wants." The young fox protested looking through the case files.
Nick raised a brow "Three weeks and no crimes have been happening whatsoever." He picked up his mug sipping his now cold Coffey grimacing at the bitter taste he continued looking through the files. "No sign of the mouser gang." He muttered, taking another sip of the bitter liquid.
He flipped through some more files "No robberies, no attacks." Nick sat the files down at his desk, he scratched his head "Well, I be darned." Nick smiled "Looks like I finally get a break!" kicking back in his chair he put his paws up on the desk relaxing, he pulled out his phone.
"Nothing new on furbler." He muttered, taking another sip of his coffee.
Meanwhile, at the front desk, Judy was fuming pacing back and forth "How dare he accuse me!" She yelled at the cheetah. Benjamin was about to speak but was cut off. "After all, we've been through he would accuse me of touching his sandwich!" Benjamin tried to say something but was interrupted again. "I only like carrots! Not some stupid sub!" Judy stopped pacing and looked at Benjamin "You know what I'm not going to let him accuse me!" Benjamin tried to speak again but was cut off. "I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"
"Thanks for the talk Benjamin." She said walking off.
Benjamin sat there watching Judy walk off "You're...Welcome?"
Judy barged into Nick's office "Nick!" Judy shouted, but Nick was too busy playing on his phone "Nick!" Judy yelled walking up to him.
"Yeah?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the screen.
"We need to talk!"
Nick still playing on his phone, nodded "Yeah."
"I did not touch your sandwich!"
Nick nodded again "Yeah."
Judy growled, "Are you even listing to me?"
Nick nodded "Yeah."
Judy snatched the phone from Nick, Nick yelped in protest "Hey that's mine!"
Nick went to grab for it, but Judy pulled it out of his reach "Okay Carrots calm down." Nick got up from his seat reaching out his paw. "Please give it back."
Judy shook her head "No! I'm tired of you ignoring me Nick!"
Nick went to grab the phone again, this time, Judy jumped back "No! You'll get this back when I say so!"
Nick sighed "Hopps I'm listing please just give me my phone back."
Judy sighed, holding out the phone "Take it."
Nick went to take the phone when Judy pulled it back "What happened?" She asked mockingly.
Nick groaned "Please don't do this Carrots."
"Do what?" Judy asked, putting the phone in her pocket
"No, not again!" Nick groaned Judy then bolted out of Nick's office Nick groaned chasing after her getting out the office Nick saw Judy turn the corner in the hallway. Running down the hallway, he turned the same corner just in time to see Judy turn another corner "Where are you going!?" Nick yelled no response.
Turning the other corner at the end of the hall, Nick stopped dead in his tracks "No, not the police training camp!" Nick panted Judy stopped running and turned around.
"What happened Nick three weeks and you're out of shape?" Judy asked, jogging in place, "You're a police officer you shouldn't be playing on your phone during the job. So if you want your phone back you're going to have to run this training camp with me, think you can keep up."
Judy ran out the door and into the training camp Nick screamed chasing after her "HOPPS!"
A black haired man walked through the streets of Zootopia surprisingly the animals of Zootopia have gotten used to him, Joseph would get the occasional glance or stare but no one bothered him. He smirked seeing a familiar fox walking down the street. "Hey!" Joseph called out to the fox, the fox looked towards Joseph.
Finnick walked up to Joseph, "What?" The fox asked glancing around.
"You know what!" Joseph responded, leaning down, Finnick raised an eyebrow "Todays your birthday!"
The fox rolled his eyes "Yeah, so what?"
"Well-" Joseph said, digging in his pocket, "I got you this!" Joseph pulled out an envelope handing it to Finnick. The fox raised an eyebrow opening the envelope, pulling out a card with a baby elephant on the front playing drums. Finnick shot Joseph an annoyed look opening the card his eyes widened when he pulled out three hundred dollars.
"Woah Joseph thank-" Joseph held up his hand.
"That's not all I'm also taking us out for drinks tonight, don't worry, it's on me."
Finnick smiled, patting Joesph on the shoulder "You're a good friend."
"No problem man," Joseph said, Finnick put the money in his pocket, taking the card he folded it up and put it into his shirt pocket walking off Finnick looked back at Joesph one more time waving goodbye.
Standing up Joesph waved bye back continuing to walk down the sidewalk when a growl came from his stomach "Time to get some grub" Joesph said looking around for a good restaurant. After twenty minutes of walking, he stopped in front of a restaurant called House Of Cakes standing outside the door Joesph dusted himself off before walking into the building.
Britny a female jaguar was standing at the front desk, she spotted Joesph and waved him over Joesph walked up to her, "Do you guys make pancakes?" Joesph asked.
Britny nodded "Of course we do! My name is Britny and I'm your server today, please follow me to your table!" she said with an overbearing smile on her face.
Britny began walking to the front of the restaurant and Joesph followed looking around Joesph noticed how many odd looks he was getting from the other animals and asked Judy if he could be moved to the back "No problem sweetie!"
Joesph sat at the very back of the restaurant reading his menu Britny approached him with a notepad in a pin in her paws "Are you ready to order darling?" She asked.
"Yes! I would like one pancake with a small sprite." Britny nodded jotting down what he said.
"It will be out in a couple minutes." She said walking off two cops entered the building Joesph instantly noticed their uniforms and slid down in his seat moving his menu higher.
Officer Garry turned to his partner "Are you sure this place is any good?" Garry asked as they waited at the front desk.
Larry nodded "Yes, this is one of my favorite places to go." he responded a little annoyed.
Tasha a female deer waitress approached them "Where would you two gentlemen like to sit today?" She asked, the wolves both looked at each other before speaking.
"I guess anywhere," Garry said, looking at Larry for confirmation Larry nodded.
"Well, we have another booth in the back,"Tasha said, pointing near Joesph's direction, Joesph looked seeing another booth right next to him.
"Crap." He mumbled scooting away from the booth Joesph sat on the edge of the other side of his booth hiding under his menu Tasha led the two officers to their booth both wolves sat down on opposite ends.
"What would you guys like to drink?"
"I'll have a water," Larry responded the waitress pulled out a pen and paper and wrote it down.
"I'll have a lemonade." Garry said, closing his menu "And fries."
The waitress wrote down what Garry said: "Okay your food will be out in a jiffy!" The deer said she smiled walking off.
Britny came back with a plate of hotcakes in one paw and a sprite in the other sitting the pancakes and sprite on the table, she sat his silverware right next to him Joesph still hanging on to his menu Britny took the menu from him Joesph gasped turning away from the officers he faked a sneeze putting his shirt over his face.
"Bless you, dear call if you need anything!" Joesph nodded, glancing to his right noticing that officer Garry was staring at him Joesph pulled the shirt down gulping.
"Hey, kid!" Garry asked Joesph looked around the empty booth before pointing at himself. Garry nodded "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
"N-No!" Joesph stuttered putting his hand over his face.
Garry gave him a strange look turning to his partner "Doesn't that boy in the booth next to us look familiar?" Larry looked over at the boy his eyes instantly widening in recognition.
Joesph sat his fork down, putting 50 bucks on the table, he stood up, leaving his pancake and untouched sprite "Hey, you!" Officer Larry called out Joesph started running The two Officers soon followed suit.
As they ran out the restaurant they pulled out their tranq guns "Where did he go?" Officer Garry asked.
Officer Larry sniffed the air pointing behind them "That way!"
Joesph ran full speed down the sidewalk bumping into a couple animals he managed to keep going. Looking behind him, he could see the two cops chasing after him turning a corner still running he saw an alleyway turning into the alleyway Joesph ducked down behind an old box officer Garry ran past him but Officer Larry stopped running and started sniffing the air.
He turned to the alleyway pointing his gun at him, "Come out with your hands up!" Joesph sighed standing up he put his hands up.
Officer Garry, who realized his partner was no longer running next to him turned around walking towards him, Officer Larry put the paw cuffs around Joesph's wrists.
"So you are the missing kid." Officer Larry mumbled, but Joesph didn't respond.
"Silent treatment, huh?" Officer Garry teased, running up right next to Joesph "So this is the missing child, he looks a lot younger in the photo."
The two cops led Joesph to a police van the trio entered the police van Joesph sat in the back while the two officers sat in the front. Officer Larry looked back at Joesph turning on the van. "You know it's a felony to run from a police officer right?"
Garry looked over at Larry "Let the kid off we were young once." Garry smiled looking back at Joesph
Officer Larry chuckled "You're way too soft on kids." Larry turned around looking at Joesph "But since you've been missing for six years I will let you off easy too."
Joesph looked down at the ground "I'm an idiot!" Joesph thought to himself "I should have left when the cops showed up!" Joesph sighed leaning back and closing his eyes.
Officer Larry pulled out of the driveway of the restaurant and drove off.
The three arrived at the Z.P.D department the two wolves existed the van Officer Garry walked to the back of the police van opening the doors, letting Joesph out he was led inside the Z.P.D department, they led him to a door opening the door it was some type of office room with a large rhino behind glass sitting at the front desk.
The two officers sat him in a chair, leaving the room Officer Mchorn looked at him "Please stand." Joesph stood up walking closer to the desk.
"First name," Mchorn asked.
"J-Joseph sir." Mchorn nodded writing it down.
"Middle name." Joesph gulped.
"Philips." He said his voice cracking.
"Is something wrong son?" Mchorn asked Joesph just shook his head.
"Last name." Joesph gulped.
"Can I pass?" Joesph asked a nervous smile on his face.
"Kid, I don't want to play games, Last name," Mchorn repeated irritation in his voice.
Joesph sighed, " Wilde." Joesph muttered.
Mchorn raised an eyebrow "Wilde?"
Nick gasped finally making it to the end of the course "Ha! Carrots I made it! Give me my phone back now."
Judy panted handing the phone back to Nick, Nick kissed his phone putting it in his pocket when his walkie-talkie turned on. "Nick come to my office now!" Cheif Bogo yelled.
"What does he want this time?" Nick groaned he picked up the walkie talkie pressing the button "Be there in a Sec."
He looked over at Judy "Want to come with?" Judy nodded.
Nick and Judy sat in chief Bogo's office "A creature came in today." Cheif Bogo said in an oddly calm tone.
Nick nodded "We have strange creature come here all the time, what's your point?"
"Well, he is on the missing animal reports." Chief Bogo stated.
"Oh really?" Nick said, raising a brow.
"Tell me Nick if you know this creature." Chief Bogo said picking up some files.
Nick leaned back in his chair smirking"I'll try." He replied coyly.
"Do you know anyone by the name of Joesph Philips Wilde." Chief Bogo stated.
Nick smirk disappeared, his face turned dead serious "I know him." He mumbled, putting the front legs of his chair back on the ground. "What about him?" Nick asked.
"Well, we have a Joesph Wilde in our custody." Chief Bogo replied
Nick's ears perked up, "Really!?" Nick stood up.
"Yes, he was apprehended by two officers at House of Cakes."
Nick smiled "No way! You found him!" Nick climbed on top of the desk hugging Chief Bogo "Thank you so much Bogie!"
Chief Bogo yelled "Get off of me! And don't ever call me that again!" Nick cheered jumping off the desk.
Judy looked at Nick confused "Nick, who is Joesph?"
Nick turned to Judy his smile growing even wider. "He is my younger brother!"
