So I'm not sure about really publishing this story to be honest, this is something I made for fun. But if it is out in the open, welcome! And I hope you enjoy!
Nick drove quickly through the streets, being late for work was never a good thing, especially since a certain bunny liked giving him a hard time whenever he was late, which happened only once a week in his defense.
Nick parked the car in the police parking lot before getting out and running inside, eyes meeting with the friendly tiger Clawhauser. "Morning Officer Wilde!" He said cheerfully, stuffing a donut in his mouth. "Morning." He greeted before rushing to his desk, hoping Judy hadn't noticed his absence yet.
He sat down quietly in the desk behind the bunny and opened a random file to make it look like he was hard at work.
"Well, look who's here!" Judy's voice made him jump out of his fur.
"C-Carrot's! Hey! I didn't notice you, I've been busy studying this case file here!" Nick replied, trying to sound smooth, as well as calm down his own heart.
Yes, although he never dare say it out loud because of their species, Nick had somehow fallen in love with his partner. But not only because of their species, as cross-species relationships are highly looked down upon, but as well as the fact that he was a predator and she was pray was also against it.
Judy raised an eyebrow, "Really, I guess you were so busy you didn't notice that you're studying the case we finished last week." She replied with a smirk. Nick looked dumbfounded and looked down at the file, and sure enough, he was studying the case they solved before. "Yes, we were supposed to be assigned a new case, but you seem to have decided to come in late, so I've had to wait." She added.
Nick rolled his eyes, "You act like I'm late every day, it's only once a week at most!" He countered, Judy laughed.
"C'mon, dumb fox, we need to get our case assignment." She said with a chuckle, holding out her hand to Nick he accepted the offer and she helped him stand. He accepted it and ignored the sparks that shot through his arm and made his way to Chief Bogo's office right next to Judy.
"Chief Bogo, we're here, so sorry for being late." Judy exclaimed as she walked in, followed by Nick.
"Just sit down you two, this is no joking matter, we have a very serious case on our hands." Chief Bogo commanded, they both sat down in front of his desk.
"Alright, we just got report of the prison that the famous criminal Willow as escaped from jail." He began.
"Famous? I've never heard of him." Nick said, earning a prized glare from Chief Bogo.
"That's because you weren't an officer before." He growled, "Anyway, this crime lord is famous for kidnapping female animals in broad daylight, taking them who-knows-where, and doing… Horrible things to them. This earned him the title Raping Willow." Nick ears flattened.
"Oh, I've heard of him." Nick muttered.
"I know, he's a famous criminal. Last time he broke out, half of our female police went down in numbers. I need you two to find him and bring him to justice before anyone can get hurt, got it?" He commanded.
"Yes sir, we're on it." Judy replied before they walked out of the office. They stopped by Clawhauser and picked up the file, then went to study it at Judy's desk.
"So he was last spotted a block away from the prison he broke out of. The JamCam's caught him sneaking into that alleyway." Judy said, pointing at the picture. It showed a fox dipping into an alleyway.
"Wow, he's a fox, I didn't expect that." Judy mumbled.
"That's why I know him. Do you know his real name?" Nick asked.
"Yeah, Willow." Judy replied, "Chief literally just told us." She added.
"No, his full name. Willow Claw Wildes. My… Brother." Nick muttered.
"What?! Really?!" Judy asked, shocked.
"Yeah, soon he's gonna try and contact me to get me to join him again. He does it every time he breaks out." Nick scoffed, obviously he wasn't too fond of his brother.
Judy suddenly got an idea. "Wait, you said he contacts you every time?" Judy asked.
"Yep." Just as he said that, his phone beeped. He groaned. 'And there he is now." He mumbled, opening the text.
"Nick, read it aloud." Judy told him.
"Why? He just want's t-"
"Just, do it." She interrupted.
"Fine." He groaned, "He said, 'Hey bro need to talk.'" Nick read aloud.
"Okay, ask him why." Judy told him.
Nick rolled his eyes, and texted back. "You better have a plan, Carrots." He said.
"Trust me Nick, I do." She replied just as his phone beeped again.
"Okay, He said 'You know why. Meet me at the old treehouse.' Oh brother, that stupid things still there?" Nick groaned.
"Treehouse? What treehouse?" Judy asked confused.
"Just something he and I built before he went crazy. We used to go there and hang out all the time." Nick explained.
"Nick, you have to go there! It's perfect, he has no idea you're a cop! We can swarm the area, wait until the time is right, and then throw him in bars!" Judy exclaimed excitedly.
"I don't know, that sounds pretty risky." Nick replied, he just had a feeling that it was a bad idea, and that someone would end up getting hurt. He hated this feeling because most of the time he was right.
"It's a great idea! Quickly tell him you'll be there, tell him you're sick of the animals these days or something, anything to get him to believe you want in, anything to get him to trust you." Judy told him.
"Fine." Nick finally agreed, texting him. "I guess I'll get ready to see my brother." He muttered, sending it.
"Awesome! And don't worry, you'll have a chip in your ear, we'll be able to hear everything that goes on with you guys okay?" Judy reassured him.
"Okay, just don't let anyone get hurt. I have a bad feeling about this..." He muttered.
"Don't worry, we got this, we just gotta hustle him!" Judy said, they fist-bumped and then went to tell Chief Bogo the plan.
So I decided I'd upload this because why not :P so welcome everyone, hope you enjoyed. See you next chapter, bye!
