Nicolas Wilde was a normal five-year-old cub, walking paw to paw with his dad. He was talking excitedly about his day as they made their way home from his dad's suit shop.
"And then Susie tried to kiss me!" the cub said in disgust. "She wanted to give me girl germs!"
"Your mom is a girl though and she kisses you all the time"
"Yeah but that's-"
His dad stopped suddenly, looking behind him. Nick looked where his dad was and saw three bulls behind them. They looked like they could lift the entire city with one hand.
"Hey there fox," one sneered.
"I don't want any trouble," his dad said. "Just tell me what you want me to give you just leave my son out of it."
"Gladly!"
One of them grabbed Nick from behind. His father tried to get to him but the other two bulls pined him down and started to beat him.
As the blood started to ooze out, his surroundings started to swirl around him. Suddenly he was in his Junior Ranger Scouts uniform, walking into his apartment crying. He saw his dad sitting in his wheel chair with an oxygen mask. Nick started to panic thinking about the muzzle.
His surroundings swirled into black again. He was in a hospital room. There was a very pregnant woman, who was too thin.
"Nick can you get me a nurse?"
"Yeah, just give me a second Vix," he said getting up slowly. "I haven't been doing much walking."
She let out a small weak laugh. "I'm glad I picked you."
"I'm glad you picked me too," he said walking out to get her nurse.
He walked up to the front desk and went to ask for nurse Hare when all of a sudden a heart monitor alarm went off signaling a flat line. He ran to her room to see in horror that it was Vixen who flat lined.
"No! No, no, no! Come on Vix you have one more month!" He shouted running to her.
Before he knew it doctors where pushing him out of the way. They where talking about getting her into emergency surgery. Saying that they needed to get the baby out before it goes with her.
He tried to follow her into the room, only to be stopped.
"Sir you can't come in!"
"That's my wife!" he shouted. "She needs me!"
The nurse continued to make sure he didn't get in but he struggled against him anyway. It wasn't until they told him that he'd be forced to leave if he doesn't stop that he finally quite and went to the waiting room, crying himself to sleep.
A nurse woke him up with a sad look on her face. He informed him that his wife didn't make it and his son had a low chance of living much longer.
The blackness surrounded him again, this time he was in front of a young cub that was just starting to crawl. He was snarling at him and his doctor. They don't know what happened to make him act feral.
"Kameron, calm down, it's me," Nick tried to reason with the toddler. "It's me, Daddy!"
"OFFICER WILDE TO MY OFFICE NOW!"
Nick bolted up form his desk, confused as to what was happening.
"Wilde get your lazy bum up here and stop sleeping!"
Nick looked around him to see he was in the ZPD office. Judy was looking at him concerned. The rest of the officers looked at him in confusion. Judy was the only one who knew anything about his past and he didn't tell her anything related to what was happening.
"WILDE!"
Nick got up and went into Bogo's office. He sat down and waited for the chief to chew him out.
"You haven't been yourself all week and today you drooled all over you keyboard," He said rubbing the bridge of his nose. "You usually aren't that lazy, what's going on?"
"It's been a long week at home. My mom's been working harder, my dad isn't doing to well and my son's been keeping me up screaming about someone putting poison in a water bag," he explained.
Bogo looked at him with sympathy. "I don't know what it's like to have all this happen but you obviously need some time off. I'm giving you a weeks paid leave."
"Thank you sir."
"Go home and I'll see you in a week."
