Night Shift

The evening was sultry in savanna Square. There in precinct one of the major metropolitan city of Zootopia Officer Judy Hopps and her fox partner and now fiancé officer Nick Wilde began their respective shifts. Initially the two had begun their relationship as partners. However, things didn't stay purely platonic with their friendship. Initially after solving the Night howlers case things had become fairly quiet.

In the weeks following nicks acceptance into the ZPD he and Hopps had become more romantically involved. After one night six weeks after the gazelle concert there chief Bogo had caught the two in a drunken stupor off their shift making out in one of the interrogation rooms. It is here where the story begins.

"WILDE, HOPPS IN MY OFFICE RIGHT NOW! Also put on some decent cloths and wipe that lipstick off your face Nick." There nick had grabbed a cloth as both he and Judy had smelled of Sex, Rum, Shame and embarrassment. There the two quickly fixed their affairs. They sulked into the chief's office as he slammed the door shut and began to open his mouth about to relase a verbal tirade.

"Do You two know Article 2 and 3 of the ZPDs Sexual harassment log book. Officers who partners may not engage in activities such as Personal displays affection, inappropriate touching and or date!" Nick chimed in with a quick witted response. "Well chief the log book never said anything about heavy petting." There nick was greeted with a hard punch to his left arm by a now upset Hopps as the chief replied. "nick shut it and thanks Judy I was ready to hit him." Judy almost wanted to chimed n but she decided to stay quiet fearing her punishment.

Chief Bogo replied calmly saying to the two. "You both are fine officers and under normal circumstances I should temporarily suspend you both. However, seeing has how the Mammal inclusion initiative has almost become politically dangerous to oppose. I have decided to split you up as partners. There Judy and Nick sighed in relief glad they were not losing their jobs over this.

"But" chief Bogo replied, "I have a lot of forms and paperwork people in this precinct need to fill out so I think for the next two weeks until I find suitable partners. I believe nick you can fill out graveyard shifts paperwork and Judy you can help Clawhouser fill out evidence room forms.

There both of them groaned as both Nick and Judy having to work separate shifts groaned at the prospect of doing mounds of paperwork.

It was clear Judy got the better end of the bargain then again Clawhouser despite his obsession with the dancer Gazelle was easy going. He was rather easy going and you could pass the time of boredom by playing trivia games with him. That being said when it came to snacks Clawhouser managed to hide a massive assortment of junk food under his desk. Eventually the two weeks for her ended being less of a burden and more of a nice time to calm down and relax after solving the night howler case.

For Nick however the two weeks of paperwork seemed to drag on. If not for the fact he had classic R&B hits like Otter Redding, and the Furmingos. Nick would have surely gone insane like in Stanley Kubricks movie the Shining due to the countless mounds of paperwork he had to deal with.

Two weeks had passed by since their initial punishment of desk duty. Judy had managed to still maintain her peppy can do attitude throughout. Nick on the other hand was more or less breathing a massive sigh of relief that he could escape the endless mounds of paperwork.

There they walked into the station that morning as they both headed into the briefing room for their daily patrol briefing. Nick and Judy now sat in different seats as they were now together in a relationship but separated as police partners. There with fanfare Chief Bogo entered in the room and gave everyone their daily assignments. There Nick would be pauired with his new Partner officer Grizzoli. Grizzoli was a lion he never cared much for foxes but respected him well enough not to question chief bogo. Meanwhile Judy got partnered with Sergeant Mchorn a Rhino. As both of them parted ways and headed to their respective shifts they sighed sadly unable to work the same shifts. There Nick geared up with Grizzoli as they began to prep themselves for patrol duty in Rainforest district. Meanwhile officer hopps began her patrol in Savannah central with Mchorn. Working their first shifts respectively seemed rather easy Grizzoli despite having initial reservations of having a fox partner admired nicks sense of humor. There he all he left the precinct. There Officer Grizzoli turned on the police radio and called in his opening shift. "PC-28 leaving the Garage now for duty in Rainforest District. Me and officer Wilde are no in ten-eight over." Clawhouser responded with 10-4 as the two began their duty. Patrolling the rainforest district was pretty easy during the daytime for the most part it was glorified traffic duty. There over the radio nick overheard a call coming in. "unit pc-28

We have a possible four fifteen at the corner of tijunga and vine can you two go over there and check it out?" Grizzoli replied "ten-four code two we will check it out Grizzoli out." Nick could feel the blood rush through as a disturbance could mean anything from some homeless vagrant, to a dispute to even more serious issues. Nick looked at his badge shining it as his partner raced over to the scene. When they arrived things had seemed to be very quiet for a post rush hour morning the street was way too quiet for a Thursday morning. All of a sudden nick overheard screaming and shouting from a nearby apartment as several loud bangs were heard as it sounded like thunder had gone off. "Officer Grizzoli called in We Have a Possible ten seventy-one Shots fired coming from vine avenue near clawshaw boulevard. Send backup to location over." Ten-four the radio chirped as Clawhouser remained calm as both Grizzoli and Wilde drew out their Tranquilizer guns and waited for what was about to happen next.
