Chapter 2
(Chapter 2 edited)
"And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane"
The next morning at roll call Nick noticed that Judy wasn't at their normal spot. He looked around once he got to his desk and saw her at the back, leaning against the wall. Oh come on, he thought. This is crazy. This is exactly what he didn't want. He didn't want their relationship to change dammit. He liked what they had. After Bogo gave out the assignments he looked over at Nick.
"I need to see you in my office" Then he glanced back at Judy "Go to motor-pool and they will get you set up with your new transport Officer Hopps.
Nick entered Bogo's office, "So, what did I do?"
Chief Bogo looked down at him "Honestly, I do not know but here is the deal Wilde, Judy has asked to go on transfer duty for the next 30 days. I will allow her to do so. During that time you will have a experienced officer from West Appalachia who is transferring here and needs a tour guide of our districts. Please be at least somewhat professional and don't embarrass the department" Nick looked at him for a moment
"So she is going to do prisoner transfers and pickups?"
"Not that it is your concern but yes, she is." He glared at Nick, then his face softened "Look, she needs sometime to clear her head. Give it to her, I don't know if you two had a argument or what but I'd take a moment and leave her be, let her sort it out"
Nick looked up at Bogo, "Sure thing Chief."
As Nick got up to leave Bogo spoke, "Nick, I don't like to get involved in my officers personal lives. At all. But, well, you two are a bit different. I misjudged both of you when I met you two. And you both have, well lets call it a bond. And I don't want to see it weakened. Honestly, you both just fit together as partners. And I don't like this any more than you do. Give her time, but not too much."
"Thanks Chief, I'll do just that."
And with that their time apart began.
