Chapter Text:
"Tell me again, what are we waiting for?" Nick starts complaining. "Its 9:36 in the morning and we are over 170km north of Zootopia infront of a military base. What are we supposed to do here?" Judy Sighs, this is the third time she explains their operation in this nowhere land. "We are here to escort a VIP to the ZPD headquarters." Nick scowls "I know, but who is this mystery VIP? Also he is late. Already over 30min too late." Judy sighs again this time louder "Well, neither we or Chief Bogo know much about this VIP. What we know is, that he left the military special forces to switch to the ZPD. Normally we would have a full file from him, but some "internal problems", as Bogo called it, delayed the file delivery. He arrives at the ZPD, even before his file will. The only thing we know about him is the name he gave bogo during some phone calls: Leon Kennedy." "But-" before Nick could complain further he got interrupted by the loud alarm noise coming from the military base, the heavy security steel gate opens slowly and a tank engine begins to roar. For a good moment both mammals were stunned by the sheer power the tank radiates. The Loud engine makes it impossible to speak close to it. Soon as the Tank vanishes in the nearby forest, they concentrate again on the gate that already closed the entrance to the base. Sudenly Nicks view wander to Judy with a smug grin. "Tell me Judy. What do you think this "VIP" look like? I bet we have to train him again in shooting." Judy gives a confused stare. "Nick he is, no, he was a special forces soldier, I think he is perfectly able to shoot." Nicks grin grows even wider. "I understand, but I think we have to train him not to shoot mammals." Judy ears drop and she frowns. "Nick! Thats dark." and punches him on the hip. "Ow." Nick begins to laugh, not from the dark and, even more important, bad joke. More from the reaction Judys face reflects.
Suddenly the laugher dies as a mammal walks through a metal door next to the Security gate. Nick stares at Judy. "Is that him?" Judy watches the figure walking down the street to their position. "Probaly, but the only way we can be sure is his name." The dust and the fact that the unknown mammal wears sunglasses and a black Hat makes difficult to make out what species he is. But as he draws his hat, both Nick and Judy were not prepared to see what they saw. "A Fox?!" Blurts Judy out. The named fox, still out range of hearing, walks calmly towards them. Nicks face holds a broad smile. "Now getting a bit speciest carrots?" But soon as the fox stands in front of them, both switches to a professional look. The unknown fox takes his black sunglasses off and puts them in the chest pocket of his black suit. "Good Day, my name is Leonidas Kennedy, friends call me just Leon. You are probably my escort to the ZPD headquarters, right?" Both nod, for the first time they have a closer look over his appearance.A Fox a bit bigger than Nick in a black suit. His Fur is colored in a red tone a lot darker than Nicks fur. A scar runs down the right side of his face, blood red shimmers the already healed wound. He carries with him a steel case. Leon coughs nervous getting the attention of both mammals back. Nick remembers first why they are here. "Oh! Im sorry, please follow us to the car." Nick turns around and walks toward a black limousine similar to ones, but these here are special for escort operations, with security glass and bullet proof bodywork. Nick opens the back door of the car. "Please, after you." Leon enters the car with his steel case. "Thanks, but you two didn't tell me your names." Nick look from the open Backdoor into the car. "Um, well... My name is Nick Wilde and this is..." before he could say anything Judy comes into sight and interrupts him, "Judy Hopps at your service." salutes and smiles at him, he smiles weakly back and rest finally in his seat. Nick position himself next to him in the back and Judy enters the limousine from the driver seat. "Are you sure you want to drive Carrots?" teases Nick. "Hush Nick, we have a job to do" She speaks him down and corrects the rearview mirror. Soon as they are on the Highway, they are stuck in a traffic jam. Nick teases "Told you to go with my streets." and sighs. Judy slams her head against the steering wheel. And begins to mumble something. "I hate traffic Jams, I hate them." Nick eyes wander from the different cars outside to the VIP, who sits there: hand on his steel case, headphones plugged in and sleeping. Nick tips judy on her shoulder. "Nick..." Nick Interrupts her immediately. "Not so loud seems like our VIP is sleeping." Judy looks in her rearview mirror. "Must have a hard Jet lag." Nick looks at Leon again, he hears music while sleeping? What kind of music? He spots his Wallet in one of his inner pockets in his jacket. And overall what is in this heavy security Steelcase? Nick looks at Judy, she also seems interested in any information from this mystery mammal, any kind of information could be useful later.
