Zoobook 2
Finnick
Nick, Nick, you up here? You better be I'm sick of playing phone tag with you; if you're not up here I'm driving my van down to your apartment and kicking your door in.
Nick
Yes! Finnick I'm here. You caught me at the right time. Now what's the matter?
Finnick
What do I want? It's been two months since I last saw you being played by that meter maid country home fried bunny girl and I hadn't heard a peep from you since. And what I wanna know is; what you're doing, where you're doing it, and how much in profits are you getting back?
Nick
Well actually buddy I've found a way to make a steadier income with benefits and am leaving the con business. So I hope no hard feelings and that you could make it in that big hard world all on your little lonesome.
Finnick
Are you yanking my chain home boy, the reason you hadn't spoken to me in two months is because you got a new job. And may I know what that maybe, this new career choice that you now have.
Nick
I'm a cop.
Finnick
What! You became a boy in blue. How could you become one of those self righteous stuck-ups, you had as much respect for them as I do that yipped little Chihuahua down at the east side, you know the one that's always going out of town to buy cartons of cigarettes and then turning them around and selling them for double in the city. So I wanna know why you left the good gig we already had?
Nick
Well do you remember when I was pushing you downtown in that baby stroller and all of a suddenly a rabbit dressed like a meter maid pulled up, remember we matt the day prior at the ice cream parlor. Well do you remember her volunteering me to help her with a case? That's where it started my future career in law enforcement.
Finnick
You're telling me you left our money making plan for a girl.
Nick
No I didn't leave our money making scam for her, I left it for me. There's a difference, and I have met a lot interesting new people since my graduation.
Finnick
Well take you meet that Lionheart guy?
Nick
The only time I ever got to see him in person was when he was being arrested.
Finnick
Dang! I always liked those pretty suits he'd wear.
Nick
Pretty suits, I never really cared much for old Lionhaert's fashion sense. Too polished and politics for me, besides I always pegged you for more of the attention getter type with your Sunday best spending all the colors of a bag of skittles and sporting have your own body weight and Tiffany ice.
Finnick
Ha, have my own body weight, more like have your own body weight son is more how this gangster is gonna bling it. Ha, ha, ha, ha,. But seriously, who are you rolling with now?
Nick
Like I said it's my new job at the police department and I'd just started a month ago. Other than carrots I really don't know anyone yet.
Finnick
Say what! This is the police Nicholas they've been arresting you sense you were 13. They probably have a rap sheet on you that is longer than you are tall.
Nick
The police only apprehended me once or twice and there were for misdemeanors and it all happened years ago on another side of town and with a different police precinct.
Finnick
So tell me who do you know thus far. You must have met a couple of faces.
Nick
Well let's see. First there was a desk reception, a cheetah by the name of Benjamin Clawhauser.
Finnick
Well what else?
Nick
You really want details don't you?
Finnick
Damn right I do. Consider this a type of Intel gathering, the more I know the better. Now pickup with the cheetah. Those animals are fast and I need to know what I'm up against in case I role my van and me into that neck of the woods.
Nick
While I wouldn't worry about Benny the cheetah, the only time he's quick on his feet is when he's trying to chase down the ice cream truck. The cat weights the exact same amount as a grizzly bear.
Finnick
Wait, wait. He's a sausage bomb. And overweight cheetah talk about taking the city's motto to the limit. "Where anyone can be anything." Including an obese cheetah. Ha, ha, ha.
Nick
Now, now, it's not fair to judge a book by its cover. You for one should sympathize. Besides he's the friendliest face their and Judy really like him, you know the rabbit that arrested me. Officer Clawhauser is a good guy and a junk food enthusiast, with a special drawer in his desk filled with boxes of candy and bags of Hostist cakes. He usually keeps that drawer locked but once in awhile he'll let Hopps and mediate into it. He's also a Gazelle fan boy, so he's not so bad for a cop.
Finnick
Who else?
Nick
There's Francine. Other then Judy she's the only other female in the department. She's an elephant and the only one on the team as well. The girl's that a great sense of humor about her as well as a phone full of family photos. Among her digital photo albums are pictures of her preteen son and of her grandfather a former British soldier a Colonel Hathi.
Finnick
Ok so we've talked about some of the good cops, so now let's get to the more hardcore ones. You know the ones I might have to worry about when I'm making my plans.
Nick
You know the term bad cop was only coined for sitcoms right. Most of the animals on the police department are pretty good on character.
Finnick
Yeah, yeah, whatever, I said which ones are the most hardcore at their jobs not meet 90s stereotypes.
Nick
Will then there's Officer Tony Delgato and Coal the panther. They're both big cats if their names haven't given that away yet, Coal is tall and muscular and almost the same height as a tiger, kind of rare for a black leopard. I know he served sometime in the military and still wears his dog tags under his uniform. Delgato is a tiger, I think bangle. I didn't know why I say this but I swear I've seen him before and I'd like to say it was recent. Like at some big effect or something, maybe I saw him at that Gazelle concert me and Judy want to. They both work together really well and are reserved with a good sense of humor. Other than that that's about it.
Finnick
What about the guy you take orders from, your boss, other than me. Who's he?
Nick
Bogo! He's the chief of police at the department I work at and a cape buffalo.
Finnick
A buffalo? They let a pray animal head city security. Weren't they worried that he wouldn't cut it with all those lions and tigers and bears?
Nick
Don't let his herbivores status fool you. He's as tough as nails and with an enough attitude to keep a rhino on his best behavior.
Finnick
Anything else.
Nick
I think Judy has a crush on him. During road call at the bullpen I've seen her prop her elbows on the table with her cheeks in her hands and look at him all starry eyed and her cotton tail will park up. I think it's his British accent, I've noticed lately that a lot of females are starting to show a thing for a male with a strong voice.
Finnick
And anything else.
Nick
No that's about it. Like I said I haven't worked here that long. You have enough common sense to stay out of trouble. Don't you?
Finnick
Yeah sure. I just wanted to know more about what it is like to work as a cop. Maybe I should have asked a better cop.
Judy
Ahh, Nick and is that you little toot toot.
