? (Gasping): Damn it! Why me?!
A girl was lying dead on the floor, as blood started to come out of her head.
?: I can't get caught, not like this! I've got to find someone to pin this on! Someone like him… I'll make it look like HE did it!

Zootopia Apartment, 7:50 AM
Nick's POV
*Honk* *Honk*
Nick (Groan)
*Honk* *Honnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkk*
Nick: Alright, alright! I'm up!
My name's Nick Wilde and yes I'm a fox. Now you're probably wondering, "why is a fox putting on a police uniform?" Well believe it or not, I am a Police Officer. Yeah, I know, I was just as shocked as you people are. I've been joining the force for almost two months now.
?: Morning Nick. Took you long enough.
Nick: Sorry Carrots. I'm in one of those days today.
That's my partner and best friend, Judy Hopps. I mostly call her Carrots or Cottontail for short. We weren't the best of friends when we first met, but she basically blackmail, or hustle, as she calls it. Anyway, she'd hustled me into helping her to solve a case, and I don't know, but there was something about her that just grew on me. Maybe it was the fact that she's a bunny, but she's determent to help out the people in need. I tried everything to make her give up, but she still kept going on. I guess that's why she's important to me. She helped me understand that you can be who you want to be, no matter that others think you're suppose to be. After that, we became partners and it just went from there.
Judy: Seriously Nick, I thought that when you became a cop, you would at least be just a little more reasonable. I mean sometimes you are, and there's other times where you're just lazy.
Nick (Chuckle): I can't help that, Carrots. Work is like school to me. There's time where I'm up early and ready to go, a then there's other times where I just want to stay home and sleep. Come on, even you must feel that way too sometimes.
She just roll her eyes and smiled.
Judy: Well, at first, I was starting to get tired of people treating me like I'm nothing, but I understand that they mean well, and if you hadn't come along, I probably quit to be honest.
Nick: Well, I'm glad you didn't. The world needs a role model and a cop like you. I'm just a fox and an ex-con artist. I don't know that much about the law or police work, and sometimes I fell like I might be the one that's slowing you down.
Judy: OH, don't worry about that. Though I wish the Chief would give us another case. Most of the stuff we've been doing is just routine work.
Nick: Well, that's a good thing, right? I mean if there are less crimes in the world, then we don't have to worry about too much work or animals getting hurt, right?
Judy: I guess your right, but you know as well as I do there's always going to be crimes around the world, no matter what.
The conversation ended as we made it to the ZPD Police Station.
August 1st, 2016
ZPD Police Station, 8:50 AM
Nick: Hello Clawhauser.
Clawhauser: Morning Nick, morning Judy. Doughnut? I even have one with blueberry icing.
Judy: Thanks. Meeting today?
Clawhauser: Yes, as usual.
ZPD, Police Affairs
Me and Carrots made our way to our seats. The door opens revealing our boss, Chief Bogo.
Bogo: Alright, alright. Settle down. Before we get started, I have some news to share. Yesterday at 5:00 we received a call from someone, saying that he saw a young woman lying dead at an apartment. Today, I'm assigning some two officers to look into this matter. Officer McHorn and Officer Wolford, I would like for you two to look into this matter. As for the rest for you, I'm giving you you're daily routine.
He started going down the list of the officers and the towns they had to patrol.
Bogo: Finally, Hopps and Wilde. Actually, I would like for you two to come to my office, I have a special case for you.
Judy and I looked at each other with more of a puzzle and wondering look on our faces.
ZPD
Chief Bogo's Office, 9:40 AM
Bogo: Hello, there. Sorry to keep you waiting.
?: Oh, it's no trouble, really.
Carrots and I enter the home to find something we didn't think we would see. A human! Yeah, A real-life human in Zootopia! A woman, if you want to know. Pretty tall, and a bit slender.
?: Hello. You must be Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. I've heard lots of goods thing about you and your detective skills.
Judy: Uh... thanks.
Bogo: Hopps, Wilde. Meet the famous defense attorney, Ms. Mia Fey. She is the most kindest, and best defense lawyer anyone as ever seen.
Nick: Please to me you, Ms. Fey.
Mia: Oh, please call me Chief.
Judy: Chief?
Bogo: Hopps, Wilde. This case I'm handing you, will be the most important and decision making case of all. As you're aware, crime as been around the world for millenniums, and there's even some people are being of accuse of crimes they didn't commit. Most of them are found guilty, because the prosecutors have the police help with the evidence, while the defense has to wait for the results in the trial. So a new law was put into the system. Now the defense can also have the police help was well as the prosecutions. So each Police station is chosen to help the defense team. Ms. Mia was known for many years and she call me saying she chosen us for her officer.
Judy: I see, but what do you mean by decision making?
Bogo: If you two agreed to take this, then that means you'll be working with Mia for now on and you'll be taking cases from her instead of me for now on. However, even though you will be working with Mia, that doesn't mean you won't be working here anymore. Of course there will be times where we'll be here to help, and you can come to my office for any questions or if you just want to help with other stuff, like filing and all that. It's up to you.
Me and Carrots look at each other then back to the Chief.
Nick: Could you give us a minute to think first?
He nodded and we headed for the door.
Judy: Well...?
Nick: It is a nice offering. I mean, we don't have to come into work all the time now, and we work with each other all the time. Plus this might be your chance for some more cases you've always wanted.
Judy: That's true. But how long will the cases take, and how long will it be till we revived another one? Lawyer is not an easy job. It can be a pretty slow job.
Nick: Well, our police work is not that fast anyway, plus it would be a nice change.
I could tell she was still unsure.
Nick: Well you what, I'll ask Chief Bogo and Mia to give us a trial. If you and I both think this is a job we can do and love, then we can stay. If you or I don't feel conformable though on doing this, then we can just stay here and keep doing what we've been doing.
She thought for a moment.
Judy: Okay.
We went back to the Chief and explain our proposal.
Mia: That seems fair. I can promise you though, you'll love this job. Actually it would be good too, because I have new worker with me today in my office and it's going to be his first trial.
Judy: Alright, that are waiting for.
Bogo: Good luck, and take care now.
