Sorry if my writing sucks; this is one of the first stories I ever wrote. I have around 7 Chapters done and they got better as time progressed. Just try to push through and things will get better, I promise! As always, enjoy and God Bless!

CHAPTER 1

My House

1237 Broken Dreams Blvd.

The doorbell rang. I opened the door to be greeted by a smiling rabbit, who was a friend of Nick's. Nick is currently staying at my house until he can find an apartment.

"Hi, my name is Judy, Judy Hopps," she said shivering in the cold snow outside.

"You must be freezing out there, come on in and have some coffee. Nick is in the kitchen and will get you some," I said.

She made her way into the kitchen as I took her suitcase to her room. She would also now be staying with me.

"Howdy stranger," Judy said to Nick, who stood next to the coffee maker.

"Carrots!" he exclaimed as he ran up to embrace her, "How was the trip from Zootopia?"

"Minus the fact that it's freezing outside, it was good."

"You better get ready, your inauguration to the FBI is in under an hour," I said to Judy as I walked into the kitchen, "Nick and I will head on to the office presentation room to ready everything. Make yourself at home and we'll see you there. Nick, you and I will take your convertible. Judy, since it is your special day, here are the keys to my 69' Cadillac."

"I'm ready to head to the office if you are, Kyle." Nick said to me.

"Let's go."

Nick's Convertible en route to the FBI offices

"This snow is picking up," Nick said sitting behind the wheel of his red Camaro.

"Yes it is, you may want to slow down a bit," I said.

The Front Bottoms' song West Virginia came on the radio.

"Oh, I like this song."

As he looked down to turn up the radio, an SUV hit its brakes.

"Stop!" I exclaimed.

Nick hit his brakes and slid to a stop-no less than an inch from the Suburban in front of us. Nick sat silent for a few moments.

"I'll slow down a bit."

FBI Offices

4569 Like Swap Ave.

"Hey, Kyle," Fox said as Nick and I walked through the doors of the building.

"Fox," I reached out to shake his hand, "Is everything ready?"

"Uh, yeah, yeah, uh, everything's on schedule," he said.

"Great. I will head to the dressing room; I still have to put my suit on. Fox you go, uh, make some… punch!"

"Excuse me sir?"

"You know… fruit punch!"

"I'll see what I can come up with."

"Nick, you see to it that Judy arrives here safely."

He nodded as he walked away to call her.

Gabriel's House

1100 Great Dane Ave.

Gabriel stood in his house waiting for the beep that signals when his coffee was done, and his phone rang.

"Hello," he said.

"Hey Gabe, are you going to the inauguration?" Marcus asked.

"Wouldn't miss it!"

"We'll see ya there!"

FBI Offices

"C'mon Carrots, pick up," Nick said while drinking his fifth glass of Fox's punch.

"Something wrong, Nick?" I said.

"Yeah, its Carrots, she won't answer her phone."

"Her phone probably just died, I'm sure she is fine."

As soon as I said that, Judy walked through the door.

"Sorry," she said, "my phone died."

"Well, I'll never doubt your judgment again. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go to the little boys' room." Nick said while making his way down the dimly lit hallway to the men's room.

Judy and I walked into the auditorium where the ceremony was to be held.

"Well, I guess it's about time to start. Everybody take their places! We start in five!" I said.

Gabriel walked through the door about this time.

"Gabe! You're just in time, we start in five minutes," I said to him.

"Glad to hear it. Looks like ya'll have a good turn out, I was afraid with the snow being like it is we wouldn't have anybody," he responded.

I looked at my watch and it was time to start.

"I have to go on stage now, go ahead and grab any open seat."

I walked up to the podium and noticed Nick was nowhere to be found on stage or in the audience.

"Where's Nick?" I whispered to Fox who just shrugged his shoulders.

I started the program anyway.

"Welcome to the United Central States Federal Bureau of Investigation office building. We are here tonight to honor a new member of the UCS FBI, but first, I would like to inform the owner of the white Mustang that your lights are on."

Gabriel got up and left the room. Suddenly there was a loud bang followed by another in the background, I thought nothing of it.

"Well then, without further ado, welcome the woman of the hour, the first female agent of the FBI Special Agent Judy Hopps!"

The crowd erupted into a great applause. Judy walked on stage and I shook her hand and embraced her.

"Thank you Mr. Stacy," she said, "And thank you everyone who came out to this event. And a really big thanks to the United Central States for making this possible."

"Speech!" a random voice in the audience said.

"Well alright," Judy said.

As she began her speech, I walked off of the stage and walked briskly to the restroom where Nick was supposed to be. I cracked open the door and looked at the sinks, Nick wasn't there. I turned toward the urinals, still no sign of Nick. Then, I opened each and every stall; Nick was not in this bathroom-the only bathroom on this floor.

I ran outside to see if Nick had went out to his convertible for some reason. What I found horrified me. Gabriel lay on the snowy ground covered in blood, but breathing. Nick's car was smoldering as smoke rolled from it; apparently, the blast had reached Gabriel's Mustang because it was on fire too. Nick was not in his car, for there were no remains of anyone's body. I ran back into the building and grabbed the police radio and radioed the Fire Department and an Ambulance. By this time the crowd had made its way into the reception room. I went into the room and walked over to Fox, who was surrounded by Humphrey, Kate, and Judy. I walked over and whispered the events that took place outside in his ear. He immediately got up and came with me outside. The others looked confused, but resumed drinking and eating.

When Fox and I made it outside, Gabriel had stood up and sat on the bench in front of the building. Fox ran to the cars and began to investigate.

"Try not to move too much, an ambulance will be here in a few minutes," I said to Gabriel.

"I…I stood beside my car, and suddenly BANG! My life flashed before my eyes," he said weakly.

Fox reached into Nick's car and pulled out the remains of a homemade bomb. The ambulance and Fire Department arrived. I noticed Judy making her way outside.

"Oh my goodness," she said.

"Judy, don't worry. Nick wasn't in his car but he is missing," I assured her.

I walked back inside and went to the stage to make an announcement.

"Attention everyone, Nick has gone missing," the crowd began to chatter about what I had just said; "I am going to assign our agents to groups of two. Fox, you and I will be in a group. Humphrey, you begin looking over the bathroom for any sign of what could have happened to Nick. Judy, I have another special agent I can put you with, so you hang tight while I call him."
