Long Time, Carrots.
The time to reminisce is now, and to do so, I should introduce myself. My name is Brian Bellic, but, everyone just calls me Bellic. I'm a Wolf, a Eurasian Wolf to be exact, and all my life i've been looked at as some crazy guy who hides in the shadows away from civilization. While the hiding away from civilization was correct, it changed. I decided to nut up and do something with my life. As most of you probably know Judy Hopps, the first bunny officer, I knew her as the wild dream bunny. We were friends while kids but lost contact when I entered the military. What she didn't know was after I got out I went on to train at the Zootopia Police Academy to be a special forces officer. This story is about how I met back up with Judy, and attempted to make friends with her new partner, Nick Wilde.
It was a warm day in Zootopia, all the officers were waiting for Chief Bogo to enter the room. Nick and Judy sitting upfront as always. "Everyone, sit down. QUIET!" the loud rambunctious room suddenly fell silent as Bogo hushed them all. "We have a special Guest coming in today. Zootopias best Special Detective in a while, Detective Bellic." Judy had long forgotten my name as time went on, I walked in the room and stood next to Bogo, as soon as I saw Judy my heart sunk, as it's been nearly 5 or so years since we last saw each other. "Hello, I'm Detective Bellic. I'll be in helping with some cases for the next few weeks." To simply put it and to keep from boring the readers I sat down and listened to Bogo ramble on about some cases. When he finished he assigned specific people, I told him to hold Judy and Nick for me as I need some help with my own case.
After everyone was gone Judy stood up and greeted me, unaware of who I really was. "Nice to meet you! I've read so much about how you had to claw your way up to the top as a detective!" I just smirked, waiting to see if she noticed the signature patch of fur under my neck that was gone from a fight as a kid, she didn't. "Well i've definitely heard a lot about you, First rabbit officer. Quite an accomplishment." I looked over at Nick who idly watched us. "Well I must say, you've known me for longer than you can recall." I grinned as I awaited the "homecoming" of our friendship. "How's that? We just met. Unless you've been spying on me." Judy grinned back and chuckled a little. "This might just help out." I raised my head and showed the scar. Judy's face lit up as she remembered me. "Wait! Your Brian, from when we were kids!?" I busted out laughing. "It's been a while Hopps. Was waiting for the gears to turn again." Judy jumped in for that familiar friendly hug. I looked up and saw Nick perk up. "Well I guess I should introduce myself now. Nick Wilde." He stuck out his hand with a flat monotone voice. "Nice to meet you." I replied.
I walked outside with the two of them as they started walking to their own cruiser. "Where you two going?" Hopps stopped and perked her ears. "To our car, where else?" I just laughed and shook my head "Today you're with me, that means we're taking my car." We walked around the corner to my undercover Charger and we all climbed in. The first case was gonna be an easy one, simply find the guy who stole 12 DVD players in the past three days. I knew who it was. The one thing I never let anyone know was for two years I went out as a criminal running items around, weapons, drugs, anything. I now use that to my advantage as an officer, knowing most of the big time players in the criminal game. "So this guy, stole 12 DVD players? What is he gonna accomplish with that?" Judy questioned, I smiled knowing the answer. "He can make a few hundred bucks off of them, say they're all $50 DVD players, he sells them for $25 each, and now he has $300 in his hand. Since they stole 12 so quickly, it means either they just move quick or they're skilled." I started thinking where to find the stashed DVD players.
As we went down the road I could tell Nick was still unsure of me, maybe thinking I wanted to steal Judy's heart? I have no idea but I knew if I didn't say something he'd tase me later. "Nick you know Freddy Katfurd? I'm pretty sure he's behind the DVD players." Nick, still monotone and seemingly frustrated answered back. "Yeah I know him. I thought he was selling contraband jewels." I smiled at how when Freddy did that how he was afraid to get his hand dirty by stealing. "That was when he was fresh to the crime game, now he steals, and I'm pretty sure with how swift and quick the things were stolen he might be behind this." Nick just shrugged his shoulders and looked out the window. "If he was stealing and selling DVD Players could he be selling them out of maybe a van or in town kinda hidden?" Judy asked, not thinking about the van idea I remembered seeing where he titled a van in his name. "Genious! He just titled a van in his name not to long ago, we find that van, maybe we find those players, or maybe even him." Judy gave that "I accomplished something smart!" smile and i just shook my head.
I set out an APB to anyone who sees the van to radio me and let me know. Not too long after, we got a hit, Tundra Town. "There it is, straight ahead." I saw the van and there was Freddy, walking into a building. I pulled up and got out. "Nick, on me, Judy, watch for Freddy." Me and Nick snuck our way to the van, it was a box van so he had to be moving something around. Luckily the back door was facing away from where Freddy went. "I'm gonna break the lock." I grabbed a big rock near the road and hit the lock really hard, bursting it from the steel and tumblers inside being brittle in the cold. As soon as we opened the back there they were, all the DVD players. As soon as we saw it Judy got our attention pointing out that Freddy was on his way out. I quickly dropped the door and hid behind a wall, Nick ran and hid behind a snowbank. When Freddy came back he must of grabbed the keys from inside the van for the lock on the back. I moved around the front of the van and waited for Freddy to open the back so I could catch him WITH the DVD Players. I looked over and saw Judy motioning at him that he noticed the broken lock. Freddy was suspicious and I heard him mumble, "Dang cold must've been too much…" He opened the back door and climbed in. I motioned Nick to come out as backup as I drawed my gun. I slowly moved to the back and aimed at Freddy. "Freddy, put the box down and put you hands up." He froze and didn't say anything, then he stood straight up holding the DVD player box. Suddenly he yelled. "Catch this bitch!" He threw the DVD player at me, I couldn't react quick enough and it slammed into my head, knocking me out cold as I fell to the ground.
