*DING*
Judy looked up at the massive building in front of her, it's elegant pillars and fountains shining in the moonlight. Behind her, her partner closed her car door and stepped up beside her.
*DING*
"You ready?" He asked
Judy nodded and took his arm as he led her to the party. She looked up at him as the two of them made their way to the houses entrance.
"you okay?" Jack asked as he took her coat once inside.
"What makes you ask?"
*DING*
He leaned in closer to her so other animals don't hear "this is our first infiltration together since the wedding. I just wanted to make sure my wife is alright."
Judy gave jack a thankful look "look at you always the gentleman aren't you." She said taking his arm again as they made their way deeper inside.
as she continued to speak to her 'jack' rabbit husband a figure moved on the church behind them. The church's bell was going on and on and on ringing constantly. The figure didn't notice; he only had eyes for the rabbit couple making their way inside. Before the two went out of the figures line of sight however they gave each other a quite lengthy kiss on the lips.
The figures fist tightened around the neck the church boy currently in his grasp. He had come up here supposedly so get some fresh air, bad move on his part the figure was in a killing mood tonight. He gazed at the spot where the two rabbit agents had once stood and his fist tightened even further until he heard an audible SNAP. He looked down at the now dead church boy, couldn't be more than twenty oh well. He tossed the new corpse to the side and made his way to the building where Judy and Jack had disappeared in.
Judy could still hear that obnoxious church bell as she and Jack made their way down into the basement of the building, guns out. Their mission was to gather as much information as possible about this new organization and asses their threat level. Exiting the small stairway, they emerged into a regular garage space. Judy couldn't see anything that indicated a doorway into a secret base but apparently Jack did. He tapped her on the shoulder and pointed to a filling cabinet, she followed. Once right beside it the two pushed it out of the way.
Instead of finding a hole in the wall as Judy had expected instead the was a dip in the ground underneath where the cabinet used to be. In that dip there was what appeared to be a safe. Jack went to work immediately and in no time the pair were climbing down the ladder into what she guessed was the criminal hideout. Once they were well down the hallway which the ladder lead to the figure stepped right up to the dip. He didn't even bother with the ladder he just jumped.
a few minutes later church bell a forgotten memory but it still played ever on above them. Judy and her husband crept along the sides of the hideout the shadows and boxes helping immensely to hide them. Once reaching a fork in their little road the two split up; Judy heading to check on how many weapons they had and Jack to check how many soldiers and funds they were getting.
The figure watched both as they split up, he watched them from one of the beams holding the ceiling up above them. out of the two he decided to follow jack instead knowing in his heart that the other would be okay. He slowly crept across each beam slowly following the Jack rabbit. Once he stopped the figure stopped as well, while Jack was busy looking through something the figure took this time to inspect the handgun he 'confiscated' from one of the guards up above.
The figure didn't know guns that well all he cared to know was if the gun was loaded or not, which this one was. Feeling a spike of hatred, he dropped from his little perch landing on the ground with a loud thump. Jack immediately spun when he heard the noise and froze and he saw the figure pointing the gun right at jack's head. He had taken the suppresser off meaning that once he pulled the trigger everyone in this room will know that they were here.
Jack looked at the gun them looked at the figures face. He recognized those eyes, his hands were already raised but with this realization he raised them higher. He also knew that he couldn't talk his way out of this, he knew that this figure hated him with the strength of a dozen rhinos. Jack turned as he heard a sound behind him, it was a guard and in a few seconds he would see them. Jack turned back toward the figure right as he pulled the trigger.
Judy flinched at the gunshot, the sound reverberating across the room. Immediately everyone was in a panic she could hear all the questions being asked as she silently ran to the meeting point she'd set up with Jack.
"What's going on?"
"what was that gunshot?"
"are we under attack?"
"Should we hide the stuff?"
these questions and more were being sounded as Judy made her way to the rendezvous point. Once there she glanced about herself searching for her husband. He wasn't there. She waited there for gods know how long while the whole chamber bustled about with an air of hostility. Pretty soon the questions were gonna start popping into Judy's mind, questions she didn't want to think about much less answer.
She brought her gun up suddenly when she heard footsteps approaching her position. She hesitated however as the footsteps were soft footsteps. She held her ground however as a figure just taller than herself duck around the corner. Jack looked as scared as a prey in ancient days realize that he was cornered by a predator.
"Oh thank god" Judy said as she rushed towards her husband and pulled him into a tight hug. "I was starting to wonder"
"well you can stop that now. I'm here." He said as they pulled apart. She was about to lean in for a quick kiss when he said "but Judy" he said with a worried look "you have to know... He's here." He didn't need to say anything else they both knew who "he" is.
"Well then if he's here then we need to get out of here before he finds us" she said starting to make her way back the way she had come.
"But Judy you don't understand" he said grabbing her shoulder. She turned and have him a curious look.
"what do you mean jack?" She asked turning back to him.
"That gun shot?" She nodded "he pulled the trigger"
"so?"
"he shot a guard"
"ooookay Jack you not making-"
"he shot the guard behind me. After we had a staring contest with each other and him pointing a gun at my head" Judy stared at Jack dumbfounded until an unknown voice spoke up nearby.
"OI" the new voice said "WHAT DO WE GOT ER?" It was a bear and he was leveling a shotgun at the pair.
In an eye blink the bear was face first on the ground, blood pooling around the axe sticking out of his head. The welder of the axe was on the other side of the room snapping the neck of a wolf who tried to howl, seeing him throw the axe. Other though also saw the axe in flight and jogged over to investigate both its destination and where it began its flight.
The figure saw this and jumped up grabbing one of the support beams and made his way to the center of the room. Seeing that some of the criminals were close to discovering Judy and Jack, seeing no other options the figure dropped into the middle of the room. Upstairs and across the street, a church organ started to play, it was a depressing song one of violence and death.
Dropping into the middle of the room the figure threw back his hood for he was now surrounded by light, no point in covering up. Underneath was a face in an almost permanent scowl he had not always been like that. As soon as he got his balance he aimed his single gun and fired at the nearest criminal.
That got everyone's attention.
The crooks nearing Jack and Judy's position suddenly went back the way they had come and soon the figure was soon surrounded by opponents. The figure slowly raised the gun to the side of his head along with a knife in his other hand. The figure stood up straight his eyes opened wide as he assessed his crowd of foes.
"Nick..." Judy whispered
Nick Wilde stood in the middle of a ring of enemy's. Gun in his right paw and knife in his other. He could see the two rabbits slowly making their way towards the exit to the surface and that made Nick smile. The crooks, unaware of this fact took the smile as a challenge and some moved in.
Nick spun sending a bullet into the nearest crook's head. He dropped without even taking two steps, he managed to take out two more foes before he was forced to switch to his knife. He ducked under the first swing while he was under the arm he rammed his knife into the arm as it passed overhead. using the momentum of the swing the pulled himself onto the back of the tiger, bringing his gun up he shot the tiger in the back of the head.
As the tiger fell Nick let go of the first knife and pulled out a second. As the tiger fully landed on the ground Nick rolled in between two thugs who tried to grab at him. As Nick came up he brought his knife and sliced a clean cut into the backside of one of the crook's foot. With the other crook he aimed and shot him in the head. As the now dead crook fell Nick took aim at the first one, the one who's foot he had sliced and shot him in the head as well.
He couldn't keep this type of combat up for long but thankfully the crook he had shit first dropped a submachine gun. Nick leaped for it rolling, coming up he jumped up and kicked a hyena in the face with both his feet. The kick launched him backwards, landing he took aim and pulled the trigger.
In less than six seconds most of the criminals were down. With the ones that survived Nick quickly threw a knife into each head. At his feet blood and organs pooled around him and he stared at his handy work. He looked up and saw Jack and Judy heading down the hallway, Nick knew that when he looked up Judy looked away as soon as she noticed.
"I hope you still have feelings for me Judy." Nick whispered to no one in particular. "Because I still have feelings for you, God dam me but I do"
Nick loved her. He truly did, he loved her so much that he had given up literally everything to be with her and what did she do? Join the secret service a couple years after he joined the ZPD. Not only that but she did it to mainly be with that Jack savage.
Jack savage.
His name made nicks own blood boil. He never really hated anyone in his life oh sure he had disagreed with some people and others he didn't like being around but Jack? Nick HATED Jack more than anyone will ever know. When he'd looked up to the exit where Jack and Judy were making their escape, Nick was able to see just a hint of Judy's eyes. They had a question in them and Nick knew exactly which question that was.
Why didn't he shoot Jack?
Well the answer was simple. He hated Jack yes but he loved Judy more and all Nick wants now in his life is the knowledge that Judy is happy. Because even though the two of them are not together, seeing her happy makes Nick happy. For like he said he loved Judy more than anything in this world and if Jack makes Judy happy, then Nick would do everything in his power to keep him alive.
