Chapter-1 A Renewed Pilot
"Let's read it off shall we? Six hundred and thirty seven dollars for, ah, bullet riddled warehouse windows, shipping containers, and several barrels. Next… Four thousand and nine hundred eighty seven for a… channel seven news helicopter. Three thousand five hundred and seventeen dollars for property damage to … a private family owned restaurant and billboard. And lastly, do, do ,do...thirty thousand dollars in body clean up and hospital bills. To be fair you did manage to rescue one of our finest officers, stop a deranged gang of criminals, and are currently being saved by the majority of their health insurance. There still is however the aforementioned amounts that are currently unpaid."
A lone red fox sat in an oversized chair in the office of a large intimidating cape buffalo as he gave his famous death stare toward a packet of insurance files and medical bills. "Sir i understand how this can be a prob-"
"Wilde you acted against the law as well as put it in your own paws. You put yourself and others at risk. Officers got hurt and mammals died. Good or bad doesn't matter, it all comes at a cost. A cost which i might add, that the city doesn't seem to want to pay. They feel as if there's bigger problems to fund and the precinct doesn't have the budget for these expenses. As of now, the public is seeing you as a menace who acted out." Nick shot up from his seat and slammed both paws down on the desk.
"I saved Judy's life! I got out there and did what you clowns couldn't." He raised his voice towards his boss.
"Nick you managed to slam a helicopter onto a family restaurant. You were absent from work for over a month and you completely disregarded your badge. You have little to say in this. As of now the family is suing you for property damage and your being fined by the city for the same reason. I'm sorry but i'm suspending you and placing you under arrest until further notice. You will be appointed a lawyer for the lawsuit but the rest is out of my control. If you can't pay these expenses then your looking at two years jail time." Nick shut up as his ears pinned themselves to the back of his head. With slight fear and resent in his eyes, Nick spoke.
"Sir you can't be serious." Nick looked in him for some form of sympathy, there wasn't a hint of it.
"You broke the law. This is as serious as it gets for me." Nick gave him an upset look.
"Chief look i know i messed up here but i did what i left to do. I saved judy. I'm willing to accept these conditions if i can see her. Please let me go see her. Come on. For lil old me?" Nick put on a sad smile and raise his arms for a hug.
"Look wilde, i might be made of stone but you're lucky this rock has feelings. You will be detained tomorrow and put in a cell until your lawyer gets here. For now. Go see her." Nick regained a bit of hope and gave a small tail wag as he jumped down from the chair and began towards the door. "And Wilde," Nick looked back at him once he opened the door. "Don't run off again." NIck smiled at him.
"I don't have a reason to this time chief." With that said he left. He made his way down the stairs and into the lobby where he passed by a chubby spotted dispatcher who had a hard time keeping to himself.
"Hey Nick I haven't seen you in like forever, how's judy? NIck didn't really stop walking, he just slowed his pace to chat,
"Don't know claw, on my way to see her now gottagobye." He said with haste as he checked his watch. He hurried out the front doors and went to his cruiser. He opened the door and with the turn of a key, brought the car to life with a large rumble. He then proceeded to Zootopia General Hospital to see judy. On the way he began praying that she was awake. It didn't matter anyways because even if she wasn't, he'd wait until she was. He didn't care how long it took. "What the hell am i going to say? Simple, nothing. No dumbass, you have to say something. She wouldn't have to spend as much time if you didn't stab her in the leg. Hey i didn't stab her. You crashed the fucking helicopter she was in. it's still your fault. So, there was no telling how injured she would've gotten. Exactly. She could've fucking died." The realization finally dawned on him. "She could've died, and it would've been my fault." A lone tear began to travel down his cheek. "I almost ended her life. While trying to save her. The irony alone is enough to kill a mammal. Oh god i have to apologize." In his emotional banter he'd managed to run a red light as traffic honked its horn at him. "Oh shit, now i could've died. I'm already in enough trouble. Aw what the hell." He flicked a switch on the dashboard and the roof lights and sirens sounded their way throughout the road. He then continued to speed to the hospital with the luxury of everyone getting out of his way.
NIck pulled into the parking lot of Zootopia General and after finding a spot, walked inside. A deer working reception was sitting in a busy work day. Nick walked up to the front desk. "Excuse me?" The deer didn't pay attention to him. She just typed away at the computer in front of her. "Ahem. Hello?" The deer looked up, then back down to the screen. "Hey! I'm trying to talk to you." The deer looked back up at him and spoke to him in a distasteful and bored voice.
"Yes?" Nick began to get annoyed.
"I'm here to see Judy Hopps." The deer looked back at the computer with no change in expression.
"Visiting hours aren't until eight. Please come back in an hour." She went back to clicking at her computer. Nick was pretty much done with this.
"Look. I didn't come here to be declined by some deer who enjoys playing minesweeper instead of doing her job. My friend was just sent through hell and back. In case you didn't notice, I am law enforcement. So you will allow me the room number of Judy Hopps before you regret it."
The deer wasn't amused. "Look. Visiting hours don't start until eight. You can come back then or i will call security." Nick was fully done with this.
"You know what, this is related to a very important missing mammals case. If i'm not up there in the next five minutes, you WILL be arrested for obstruction of justice." He then reached for his cuffs. The deer began to feel nervous.
"You can't do that." She said with an almost unrecognizable amount of fear in her voice.
"Can and will. Wanna try me." Nick said with an almost sick snarl. The dear broke.
"Room 203 on the third floor. Thank you for choosing General. He he." She said with a nervous laugh. Nick then left the lobby and made his way to the elevator. He lazily strolled through the hallway until he reached the room. He swung the door open to reveal judy sitting up in bed with her head resting on one of her fists. When the door opened she looked up while the heart monitor sped up. She practically yelled.
"NICK!" she seemed really happy to see him. Her ears shot up and a smile showed itself to him. "Comeherecomherecomehere pleasepleaseplease!" She was talking so fast she was nearly incoherent. As she spoke she crawled towards the edge of the bed trying to get a hug, Nick rushed up and practically scooped her up and smothered her in little kisses.
"Judy i'm so sorry. This is all my fault." He started weeping into her neck. She slapped him across the face.
"NO! STOP IT! Nick you saved me, don't you dare blame yourself for my injuries. Nick I missed you so much. Never leave me. Please." it was her turn to cry now as she spoke. They sat there on the hospital bed for a few minutes stuck in a tight embrace. Neither wanted to let go. When they finally did let go. They found each other caught up in another soul clenching hug. After around ten minutes of stone silence, apart from the heart rate monitor, Nick couldn't take it.
"Hey Carrots?" Judy didn't move from her position but instead muffled out from his chest.
"Yeah Nick?"Nick continued staring off into space as he replied.
"I hate to ruin the moment but it's really boring here. Got any entertainment?" Judy thought for a moment followed up by the brightening of her face.
"Oh, I just got my phone back so we could watch movies 'n' stuff until it dies. Umm, Oh. Clawhauser came by before he had to go to the station and dropped off Cards Against Mammality. I here it's the funniest and most vulgar card game out there so i figured we could give that a try."
"Isn't that for three or more?" Nick questioned her with a snarky 'are you sure about that fluff' tone.
"Then we'll just pick multiple cards at random and see which one is funniest." This idea made Nick somewhat more content with playing it.
Two Hours, hurting sides, and a slightly bruised fox later.
"Hey come on, if i knew there would've been so many rabbit jokes then maybe things would've turned out exactly the same." Nick said barely keeping his facade. That game broke both of them, one specifically timed breeding card played by a certain red devil, which ultimately ended the turn by describing a rabbit fox fun time session. It also ultimately ended up in another punch to his arm. "If your gonna keep punishing me for following the game's rules then maybe we should play it at home." His mind briefly caught up with his words and turned dark while imagining the future but he quickly shook that thought out of his head.
"Something wrong Nick?" Judy eyed him with concern for the small facial expression he gave.
"What, oh, yeah i'm fine. Come on this game has somewhat lost my interest." Judy glared at him. "Ok no it's still friggin hilarious but i mean, we got… elevenish hours until I gotta go to work soooo, wanna do something else?"
She briefly pondered her options. However she managed to settle on the one that involved her using a seductive voice. "I can think of something." Her voice became more soothing, and enticing to the fox. "Maybe if you came closer, we could, do something special?" She then thew in her half lidded smile that he understood as the face she made before she wanted needs satisfied.
Nick grew a smile of his own and decided to rebuttal. " But Carrots, can we even do such a thing in the hospital. I don't believe those doors lock." Judy saw where he was going with this.
"Nick I was talking about cuddling. Did my fox have something dirty in mind." She she was starting to lose herself in her thoughts as she imagined what his heavenly fingers could do. Maybe if they were quick they could-
"Well if you want to cuddle then fine." Nick clambered over to her while trying not to knock over the box of cards that were scattered on the bed. He didn't do a good job, but he decided that it wasn't important. He lay next to her on the pillow and gently slid his arm around behind her shoulders and cradled her neck. Judy's thoughts became interrupted by his actions. Nick then came up with a better idea. He took her pillow away from her while she protested and tried to grab it back. He tossed it onto an oversized waiting chair while he then lifted her head up and slid his whole body under it. She sank her head into his warm chest while he wrapped his tail around the rest of her body. He then brought the tip of his mouth to the base of her ear and whispered, "Pull up a movie." in a soft protective voice. She was somewhat befuddled at to what just happened. The most she could manage was a soft ok. When she pulled out her phone and propped it sideways on the case stand, te started scrolling through Netflix until Nick pointed out a cheesy buddy cop flick about a wolf sporting the last name angel was sent to the country to be a police sergeant in a small village. It was hilarious. Like the card game both characters were finding themselves in pain for the amount of double takes the movie gave them.
When the credits rolled Nick looked down to see his rabbit nuzzled into his chest purring out soft rhythmic breaths. As sleep took her it found it's way into him too and he soon dozed off unconsciously nibbling on the tip of one of her ears. They remained that way for most of the night.
Morning came, Judy woke to the tip of her ear being wet and the slightly noisy snores illuminating from Nick. She elbowed him in the stomach while stifling a giggle as he shot out of bed suggested to get food, followed by some dumb take out joke. Nick went to the cafeteria and got them hospital breakfast. When he got back to the room they began eating their bowls of nearly inedible hospital slop. It was at least slop for him. Judy just had a fruit salad to give her a boost of energy she didn't need. That was, until the door opened to Chief Bogo and Fangmeyer. Judy was happy to see both of them but their faces weren't of concern to her. Instead they were professional. Judy was confused. She looked over to Nick to see his ears pinned back. He looked at her with sorrow in his eyes.
"Wilde, it's time." Judy looked at the chief with her ears less perky. She looked at Nick with a hint of sadness and confusion. "Nick?" She looked back to the two officers. Nick hopped off the bed and dragged his feet over to them. His tail dragged across the floor and he raise his arms out in front of him. When the cuffs came out Judy's eyes grew wider with worry. Bogo cuffed him and began walking him out. Before they made it out of the door, he looked back with sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry Judy." With that he was escorted out of the room and the door shut with a loud click. He never used her name unless it was serious. Judy then sat there stunned with tears making their way back into her life. She sat there a wept, confused and once again alone.
Boom. 200 tickets before noon. No wait that's twenty, and i was assigned it yesterday. No wait that was last month. Damn, anyway I hope you're happy i'm back. If you're lucky then i've pre written chapters and scheduled an update time. But that's not important. What is important is your opinions. Tell me what you think. I also felt as if i should write better dialogue. Your welcome. People got confused with my last writing style and frankly so did i. Hope this is better. I have no idea what else to add. Oh shit. Happy 2017. Shout for a sequel. To the movie. This is kinda already a sequel. Till next one. Bye. once again that's next movie. Can't wait. Also should i have author's notes at the beginning and end like last time or should i get right into it like this time. I'm going to now drag this on for as long as i can until it becomes not funny. What's that, oh. apparently it was never funny. Bye. Ps. you're not lucky. The only other chapter close to done is two. Don't expect frequent updates, sorry. (Insert shrugging emoji here)
