Assassin's Tale chapter two
POV Nick
"Who were those two?" I asked out loud, even though there was no one in the car to answer. As I turned off the highway onto the road that would lead me to my house, and Judy, I thought about the past couple of weeks. And quite a busy couple of weeks they were too!
After the prison breakout I had finally proposed to my one true love, officer hopps herself. The next couple of weeks were hectic to say the least. After we finished the piles of paperwork involved in fucking a couple dozen convicts out of parole, the award ceremony, and the whole fiasco with that female fox reporter, Chief Bogo ordered us to finish our vacation.
Instead of relaxing, we spent our time planning our wedding. And rehearsing what we were going to do after the wedding of course. It was going to be in the city park where me and Benji, Max, and Daniel first met to plan the prank on the Chief. Nick was returning home after inviting a bunch of friends and coworkers from ZPD. He was leaving the police department when he was once again mobbed by the press. When he was asked that entirely inappropriate question.
What the hell was that all about? He didn't have time to ponder this as he crossed the bridge and pulled into the driveway.
POV Hail Lupus
I woke up cradling my head in my hands. "Fucking neighbors! Why can't they shut up and go to sleep?" He was in a tiny apartment that armadillo landlord claimed had housed Judy Hopps. He couldn't believe that the hero of zootopia, home of the tranquilizer wielding cops, could live with such noisy neighbors.
"Ugh. My eye." Sarah mumbled as she turned over in the bed.
"Hey! At least you slept somewhere comfortable! I had to sleep on the floor! My joints could have locked from the dust." Hail retorted.
"Ah fuck off! Its what? Seven o' clock? Go back to bed" she paused. "Unless you want to have some fun?"
"Oh knock it off!"
"Go lubricate your leg"
"Go find your eye"
"Go realign your spine."
Hail winced. "Touché"
Sarah smirked and got out of bed. "I'm going to take a shower" she said as she walked past.
"Don't forget to put on some clothes"
"When have I forgotten?"
Hail looked at her.
"Oh yeah, I remember" Sarah walked to the bathroom and closed the door.
POV Sarah
I don't understand! Why doesn't he understand that I want to be more than a friend to him? Sarah thought about it as she stared at herself in the mirror. She tries not to think about it but she can't help it. Is it my eye? She pulled off the eye patch and glared hatefully at the reflection of her empty eye socket. Why me? The one time I'm innocent and a police officer tranks my eye! He shot my goddam eye out! Sarah undressed and got into the shower. She turned on the tap and waited for the water to warm.
"Ahh" she sighed in pleasure as the water coursed over her fur and warmed her skin. "This is why I want a house in the jungle district" she murmured. She thought about their newest job from Mr. Big. He saved Hail's life, twice! Man if Mr. Big didn't know that scientist, she would be wheeling him around in a wheelchair. She personally hoped that she never needed that kind of help though. The thought of a creepy scientist replacing her spine with a machine filled her with dread.
