I'm just really excited to meet new and upcoming authors that will one day surpass even me. But without further or do here's my new story

Judy sat stiff legged in the interrogation room, why was she nervous? She had been in the room hundreds of times, she had sat across from criminals of every kind from petty thieves to all out deranged serial killers, but now she couldn't help but feel afraid of the person she sat across from. She had seen him just about everyday, and now to be with him, in the same room as him just felt weird.

Judy sighed loudly as she tried to recall the events that led her up to this point.

flashback

"Nick come on this is serious" the angry rabbit said. "Calm yourself Carrots I'm coming, just forgot my dart gun." Nick slowly inched up to Judy with a big smile on his face, the kind of smile that signified that he didn't have a care in the world. Judy, angry at Nick's slow pace and dopey grin asked " WHY ARE YOU SMILING? THERE'S A ROBBERY GOING ON JUST INSIDE THAT BUILDING, this is a life or death situation." Nick's attitude didn't waiver, and instead he just shook his head and said "Tsk tsk tsk, just like my Judy to get so worked up over nothing, I'm sure the guy inside there doesn't even have a weapon."

Before Judy could disagree, several shots rang from inside the building and the voices of distressed civilians could be heard. Judy turned towards her mate and asked " doesn't have a weapon huh?" Nick offered a light shrug before saying "Alright play times over, what's the plan of attack?" Judy scratched her chin, then suddenly said " A HA GOT IT, the bank has three entrances, a north, a south, and an east. From what the scouts could gather, he has the north and south blocked off, BUT he must not have known about the eastern one, so you'll sneak into the eastern entrance and take him by surprise."

Nick nodded in agreement before saying "Okay sounds like a plan, but make sure the rest of the squad keeps him busy at the front, don't want him to see me coming." "Alright then it's settled, just . . . be careful okay Nick?" Judy said while pulling him into a big hug. "Aww you bunnies, so emotional, alright Carrots . . . Duty calls" and with that Nick sprinted off for the eastern side of the building.

Judy walked over to the police barricade and stood waiting, one false move from the police, and many innocent animals would lose their lives, so all the police could do was wait, and rely on Nick. Judy's palms began to get sweaty, many times before they had been in high risk situations, often time more deadlier than this, but Judy just couldn't shake the feeling something bad was about to happen.

The police waited, for what felt like an eternity, how long did it take to apprehend one animal? Just before Judy could get anymore wrapped in her thoughts an animal's voice could be heard. "DON'T SHOOT, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE I GIVE UP! JUST DON'T SHOOT ME! Police officers quickly swarmed the wolf, handcuffing him and escorting him away. Judy was relieved that the conflict hadn't escalated any further, though she wondered what Nick was doing.

Judy walked into the bank and saw police officers helping animals out of the building, but no sign of Nick anywhere. She began to frantically search the room, turning her head in every which way to see if she missed him, but he wasn't there. Judy ran to the eastern side of the building, which was a storage area. She opened the door leading to the storage area looked the dark room up and down for Nick.

She then began to scream his name, but still he was nowhere to be seen. Judy ran back to the entrance and to the nearest officer asking "HAVEYOUSEENNICKHE'SMISSINGANDICAN'TFINDHIMPLEASEHELP." The tiger looked at her quizzically before saying "Whoa slow down officer Hopps, I didn't catch all that. You said Nick was missing?" Judy enthusiastically bobbed her head up and down." Well maybe he went back to H.Q. I mean we all have to give account for our evidence" The lion said.

Judy then thought about it, he was probably right. Officers were allowed to return to H.Q. if they possessed any valuable evidence, then a scary thought came to mind what kind of evidence would Nick have? She turned back to her fellow officer and hesitantly asked "Was there any valuables that were stolen?" The tiger looked up from his notepad and said "actually yea, we haven't distributed them back yet but follow me, I'll show you."

The two walked towards the front of the bank, where they saw a gathering of officers."What's going on" The tiger officer asked. The two walked up, and the conversation was clear. "ALRIGHT LISTEN UP! We have a code red, somehow millions of dollars were swiped from under our noses, I'm taking a roll call to see who's here." The gruff rhino said. Suddenly Judy was feeling light, she knew what was coming next. "MC. HORN, FANGMIRE, CHARLES. All here? alright then. Nancy, Greg, Stripes, they're here too? then that leaves Hopps, Wilde, and Tony. "Yea I'm here and so is Hopps" Tony said. The rhino began to think before saying "So that leaves . . . Officer Wilde

End flashback

Judy's head spun whenever she remembered how fast things escalated, one minute they were looking for him at work, then the next they stormed his apartment, and placed a warrant on him. Judy sighed loudly when she remembered seeing his apartment, it had been totally empty. All the furniture had been removed along with all of Nick's belongings. His tv, phone, clothes was all gone, it was like he wanted to disappear. The police were baffled, how could someone just vanish without a trace? Unless they did something wrong, so then the whole precinct began to blame Nick for the stolen money, and to make matters worse the very next day, the exact prison that was holding the bank robber was broken into setting many prisoners free, including the bank robber.

But that was a week ago, and since then Judy had been distancing herself from her co-workers out of fear of being associated with something she didn't do. Though her efforts proved futile when she was summoned by Chief Bogo, and she could tell you that he was not happy.

Judy was staring intently at the wall, so intently in fact that she didn't notice Chief Bogo walk in. The large prey let out a grunt to signify his presence." So officer Hopps, fancy meeting you here under these circumstances. It's almost hard to believe that no one could squeeze a single piece of information out of you" Chief Bogo said while sitting across from her. Judy shook her head in annoyance, she had forgot that she had been there all day, being interrogated by officer after officer.

Judy smirked and said " It's officer Wilde now." It seemed even though Nick and her were married everyone still referred to her by her old last name. Chief Bogo said nothing in response to her little quirp instead he began to draw a straight line across the table. Judy tilted her head in confusion to why he would do that. When the chief finished he placed a manilla folder on one side, and her police badge on the other.

"Look officer Wilde I'll be frank with you, you are our only connection to Nick's disappearance, now you can cooperate and tell us where he is or we can do this the hard way." the chief said flatly. Judy looked away, she knew her rights very well, and there was not one thing the chief could blackmail her with so she figured she wouldn't have to say anything.

"Hmm, I see then. Well Ms Wilde when we eventually find Nick, the boys might not be so hesitant to shoot first, then ask questions. After all if anyone knows what happens to fugitives of the law, it's you" The chief said while opening the folder. Judy then perked up, she knew exactly what the chief was doing, and she prayed she could be strong enough not to fall into his trap. "Let me say this to where you can understand, you have two choices. The first one is help us find Nick, and everything will go back to the way it was, or the second choice . . . you give up your job, and we place a charge on you for being an accomplice to a federal crime, it's simple."

Judy couldn't believe what she was hearing, there was no way that Chief Bogo was asking her to choose between the two things she loved most in life her job and her mate. Judy could feel her emotions bubbling up inside of her, and it was clear she was going to cry. Chief Bogo smiled and said "What's the matter, I'm just asking you to choose between your true love, and your dream job, it can't be that hard." And there it was, the waterworks. Judy's hot tears began to stream rapidly out of her eyes, and there was no end in sight.. " ple . . ase . . don't . . . ma . . ke . . .me . . . cho . . . ose."

"I'll give you 24 hours, be back here tomorrow with your answer, and officer Wilde, try not to think so hard about it, its a simple choice" Chief Bogo said while exiting the interrogation room. Judy sat there still bawling, this was the hardest choice she ever had to make, she knew she wouldn't forgive herself with whatever choice she made. All she knew was, tonight was going to be a long night.

A couple hours had passed from the interrogation, and everything reminded her of Nick. Whether it was the couch, the tv, or just her bed she couldn't shake Nick's memory away. So she did what any normal animal would do in a time like this, she drowned her sorrows in food. Judy sat on the couch stuffing her face with popcorn, and other candies, but even eating just reminded her of her lost mate so she did the next thing any normal animal would do, she went to bed. She hoped her dreams would create a large enough distraction from Nick, but even that didn't work.

It was 3 am and she had to come in at 8 o'clock. She still didn't know what the right choice was, she knew she couldn't help anyone if she lost her job, but yet she felt like leaving to go after Nick was the right thing to do. Then on the other hand if Nick had really turned out to be a bank robber, she definitely could be thrown into the same guilty umbrella as Nick, so there wasn't a clear answer. Then Judy quickly sat up and hopped out of her bed, she knew exactly what to do. She quickly ran to her phone to make a call.

After a brief chat with an acquaintance, she went back to bed, she had a feeling, that tomorrow was going to be one hell of a ride.
