Hey if you are reading this story then you are more than likely a Zootopia lover like myself. I have never written a FanFic before so please be gentle. I will do my best to make sense of the story. I have had this idea in my head for weeks and I had to get it out
Warning there more than likely be smut in this and I won't be censoring it when it comes.
The day had come. All of Zootopia was on edge, especially the ZPD. After the actions of Dawn Bellwether and her associates the city was tense. She may have been taken down but she had sheaf light on the prejudice that ran ramped through the city. After she had been lead away in chains the city's next highest official toke office, a pig by the name of Joni Onkst. She was not a pleasant mammal, she may not have had ties to the Bellwether plot but she was not opposed to its effects. As she took office she rallied the public's moment of fear of predators to her own agenda. And today 4 months after taking office her actions toke hold.
A video played on the large monitor of Zootopia central square, Shari Center, Tundra Town Center, the ZPD building and any other heavily trafficked area. The video was one all had seen. Joni in front of a podium, her smile one so fake even con artists stayed away. She began "today we take back our city from fear. Fear of those among us that are the highest chance of tearing down our fair city. As of today executive order 159-Z78 takes effect. This is an order that all mammals of the predator class are to report to the ZPD within 30 days to be outfitted with monitoring bracelets and in some cases collars. These bracelets will monitor the animal's heart rate and other body signals. If it detects that subject is losing control and is a threat to become savage it will first light yellow." She held up a test bracelet. Its black band lead to an electronic face. It was slim and sleek looking, hiding the panic it brought. Its screen shown a yellow light "at this stage the subject has 60 seconds to return to acceptable levels of control. If they do no a mild shock will be administered and the will show red. If the subject is still not complying a sedative will be injected in 60 seconds. At that stage it will shine bright purple. If stage red is activated the ZPD will be notified and will respond. "She cleared her through and put down the fake band and then looked back up. Still smiling as if this were her best day, perhaps it was. "The bands may not fit our larger sized predators in which case a collar of the same actions will be applied. It has been brought to my attention that this system may affect the matting of the ones wearing the system. So as to insure fair treatment for all. If the individual can go its first 90 days without a red level incident they will be given a short wave transmitter unique to their system that can be used at home to disable there system for periods of 2 hours at a time. I understand that this will be a hard transition for most but i assure you that the sacrifice of a few will insure the safety of us all. In closing if you see a predator after 30 days without there band or collar please call the ZPD. Have a great day" the video cut out and in its place was chief Bogo in front of the ZPD headquarter. Behind him stood an array of mammals. Next to each predator was a prey animal ready to assign then there bracelets. This was part of the plan. To show the public that the government practice what it preaches.
On the far right side stood a orange fox, and next to him stood the ZPD first rabbit officer. Judy looked up at Nick who was watching Bogo with a nonchalant expression.
"Officers. You may begin. "The chief boomed in a solemn tone.
All the prey stepped in front of their partners with their boxes and started the process. Judy just stood in front of Nick starring at the piece of metal and plastic in her paw. She couldn't help but feel responsible for this. She was the one that light the flame that now was separating the city. As a tear began to well in here eye she felt a familiar paw bring her chin up. She looked into the emerald eyes of Nick. He looked at here with such companion and understanding that she was again lost in remorse for her next action.
"It's okay Carrots. Just do it and we can move forward" he whispered to her.
She nodded her head and took his worst and put the band on. She made sure that it was snug on him bit not too tight.
She wrote down his serial number on the Form that she had to submit to the station. She had not seen but most of the other officers had dispersed to be alone before the public arrived in an hour for their turn. As Judy and Nick looked at the few officers left they watched as a camera mosses filmed chief Bogo put a color on the first face most mammals see when the enter the ZPD. It was clear that Clawhauser was trying to hold back tears but was not succeeding. As the chief put a hand on Bens shoulder he turned and saw the camera mosses watching the private event and snorted at the moose.
"Get that damn camera out of here now!" His voice yelled and echoed off the building.
The moose quickly ran off in fear of his life. Judy watched as Bogo said something in private to Ben who hung his head low and shuffled off towards the main doors.
Just as Nick turned to leave he and Judy heard Bogo call for them to stop. The stood and watched as the buffalo lumbered over to them where he toward over the small stature. Both officers looked up at their boss who sighed and looked around at the empty steps
"Wilde, Hopps. You 2 are my best officers. You two work well together. This is fucked up what is happing and i do not want it to hit you two any harder than it has to." he now looked down at the duo who stood silently listing to their rarely open boss speak. "I am aware that you both have been seeing each other roman…"
"But sir we…" Judy tried to deny her relationship with Nick in fear of their career but was cut off by Bogos huff being held up.
"Save it Hopps. I'm old but not blind. The way you two look at each other and act around each other it's obvious. I will not stop you both i think what you have is what makes you such a great team." he cleared his throat and look away into the city. For a moment "i once….had a partner like you two. But this city and the bigots tore us apart...i do not want to be like my father." the chief looked down at the two who were astonished at how open Bogo was being. Nick had to know why.
"You aren't acting like yourself today sir" nick said
The chief snorted loudly. "I just want you two to know that i am on your side even if it doesn't seem like i always am. Call it a trust exercise Wilde, ill trust you, you trust me. I have a feeling these…" he said pointing at nicks band "will be hard on the city and you two. Confined in each other. If you need anything see to me privately. Otherwise be discreet. We all have jobs to do." he straightened up and took a few steps up the stairs and looked over his shoulder at the duo.
"Oh and take today to help the public. I am assigning you bother to a special job...one outside of the office." and with that he walked away into the building.
Judy looked up at Nick with a puzzled look.
"What was that all about?" Judy asked
"I ummm...don't really know." sputtered Nick.
"What did he mean by that last part you think?"
"I think he is letting us stay at home tomorrow. You know desk work. Not here." Nick looked at Judy with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh" she said quietly then here head clicked and she looked up with a smile "so we could….um just stay at home…."
"That's my plan fluff "replied Nick with a smile as she elbowed his ribs. He chuckled and began to walk towards the building. Judy quickly fallowed behind.
The day passed with much heartache and annoyance. Predator after predator cane to the ZPD to get there mandatory bracelets. Somewhere anger and yelled at the officers helping them. But most where embarrassed and ashamed. They were being forced to be different because of things that they can't control. Even still one or two cried at their current situation. Both Nick and Judy spent the day attaching bracelets and collars. Nick had a large bangle tiger arrive at his station around noon. The tiger looked around nervously. He wore jeans a brown tee shirt and a beige apron with some small stains here and there. Nick got out his step stool and started his script to the tiger who just looked on staring at the collar nick held. He finally spoke as nick handed him a pen to sign the form.
"….I've never even left this district. I got a wife and cub. I've never done anything wrong. Never seen any trouble…." he trailed off while looking down at his paws.
"I….im sorry sir. It's just the way it has to be for now…" nick spoke softly. His eyes softening to this stranger.
"...just get it done…" he said in almost a whisper.
Nick nodded and leaned up and secured the collar on the tiger and stepped back.
"Thanks i guess" the tiger said as he straightened himself back up.
"Ya...here take this" Nick said as he handed the tiger the copy of the form and a pamphlet on the new system.
"Make sure to come back in 90 days to get your jammer. It's not much but it all helps." nick said
"Alright thanks i hope the damn thing is gone by then" the tiger said as he turned to leave.
As Nick watched the tiger walk away he jumped when Bogo yelled his name from upstairs. Nick quickly ran upstairs. He may be new to the force but he knew at least that when the chief yells your name from upstairs you come running. As nick entered the office he saw Bogo at his desk writing on some piece of paper.
"You rang sir" Nick tried to lighten his nerves. Bogo did not look up from his paperwork "your assignment for you and Hopps for tomorrow is to test out what is in that case…" Bogo pointed at a black hard case sitting in his visitor chair.
"What is in the case sir" nick said while looking at it.
"It's a test model of the jammers. They sent it saying they work but i want my best officer to test it out….and seeing as I'm not about to put a bracelet on Hopps i will use her partner"
Nick slightly chuckled.
Bogo still looking down. "All you two have to do is…" Bogo looked up "get your heart rate up. If it works you will be fine. If it doesn't...well you will know right away. Ill expect a report the following day…..You can leave out the details just of it worked or not" he said returning to his work.
Nick stood his mouth open as he retrieved the surprisingly heavy case and walked out of the office not sure what to say to Bogo even if he could speak right now.
Nick walked down the stairs to the lobby and looked out all his fellow officers at different stations helping the public put on collars and bracelets. His eyes finally found who he was looking for. Judy was one of the few of the officers who could help the smaller predators so she was helping a female mongoose get her bracelet on. The mongoose had clearly been crying but seemed to be calmed by whatever Judy had done. As Nick walked over he watched as the two mammals hugged and the mongoose walked away. Nick steeped in front of Judy as to not let another take his spot
"Yes Officer Wilde." Judy looked up at nick with a smirk and leaning on her hip to the side. She had a difficult morning and Nick's presence was enough to re ground her to reality.
"We have our assignment for tomorrow" he said drumming his paw on the case in his hand "Bogo wants us to test out the jammer make sure they work right. I was thinking we could work out or go for a run or something… else that gets my heart going" nick whispered the last part to her. Leaning in ever so close. Just blushed and looked around to see no one was paying them any attention.
"I think...together we could get you...all worked up" she said and patted the side of his muzzle before stepping back to give them more appropriate space. Nick ears had perked up and he was smiling wide.
"You sly bunny"
"And you're a dumb fox. Now get back to work. We are the only ones able to get the smaller ones. I mean do you want to have Francine try to put on an otter's bracelet?"
Nick chuckled "i guess not. The poor little guy would be crushed. I'll be right over there if you need me "
As he began to walk away Judy jumped up and whispered in nicks ear seductively as he walked by "i always need you"
Nick smiled and walked back to his table to help the coyote that was waiting in line. He waved her over with a slight smile now.
Hey all if you see this you have read the first chapter. The second one is in the works. I have seen the first reviews and 1) thank you I love the feedback 2) I can't believe how many people have read this already
And most importantly I know I'm a shitty writer when it comes to spelling and grammar. I have a college degree and I still have the same spelling skills as a 10 year old. I will go back and try to fix everything as soon as I can I really do apologize I know how brutal it is to read a poorly written story so I will work as fast as I can. I just put it out so quick to see if anyone would even want to read the story. It's been playing out in my head for weeks now and I had to write it down.
Thanks for reading and the reviews and the following and just for reading. It means the world to me. I'll get the next chapter out soon.
