Judy and Nick slowly began to make their way into the night. Nick could tell that Judy was on guard more than usual. If anything, her bunny ears were slowly beginning to droop.

"Listen. Before we go on this night shift, we have a few hours. What about having some dinner at my place?"

"Nick, I really don't have time for…"

"Sure you do. We both do. I've seen the way you cook bunny." He chuckled.

"I'm not that bad!"

"Sure you're not. Now c'mon. I'm having ribs and you can pick whatever kind of fruits or vegetables that I ordered from your parents' farm."

"You got more blueberries didn't you?"

"Maybe." He said with a sly wink. "Now let's go. It's getting later and my stomach won't wait forever."

"Sounds great." She smiled. But just as they got into the car, they heard screaming and running!

"We've got trouble Nick." She said softly. He nodded, but stopped and began to sniff the air.

"Carrots…whatever you do. Stay closer to me. I smell something and it doesn't smell like the people that live around here."

Judy stared into his green eyes and she could see that Nick was more on guard now too. He extended his claws more and she saw him slightly bare his teeth. They then ran towards the screaming.

"SAVE ME!"

"HELP US! SAVE US!"

"GET AWAY FROM US!"

Judy and Nick ran around the corner just in time to see some rabbits and squirrels huddled together. They were bleeding and bruised, looking as if they had given up hope! They were being cornered by some kind of beast! Judy couldn't get a good look at it, but from what she saw it terrified her. It was dressed in black, but it had long, silverfish fur!

"STOP! STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!" Judy thundered. The being turned and she immediately stopped in her tracks. She couldn't see its face, but all she could see were its midnight blue eyes that shone in the moonlight. It was something you would see in a horror film!

"LET THOSE CITIZENS GO!" Judy commanded.

"Raise your hands and step away from them carefully!" Nick said, pulling out his taser and stepping in front of Judy. Suddenly, they heard footsteps!

"Judy, something doesn't smell right…"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean…we're…" At that moment, they were surrounded by other beings dressed in black! "Surrounded."

They all gave off savage growls and the one with the midnight blue eyes began to approach them on all fours.

"Seems to me like you both are the ones who need to give up." Came a deep voice from the darkness. They turned, but could not tell who was the one who said it!

"You can let us see your face Fang! I know it's you!" Nick growled.

"Officer Nick…as you call yourself. If you know that it is me, then there is no reason to show my face."

"Fang Stone! You are under arrest!" Judy said confidently!

The blue eyes turned to stare at the rabbit. He didn't say anything. He just began to circle both of them.

"Judy stay behind me." Nick said, unsure of this person's behavior. Suddenly, the being stopped and sat up.

"Under arrest? On what charge rabbit?" It asked calmly.

"For trying to kill and eat these rabbits." Judy responded angrily.

"It is my word against yours." Came the calm response. Nick and Judy knew that this time they were stumped. He didn't say anything that they could use against him!

"And yes, I am aware that you both like to record people to use their own words against them." Came the deep voice. They turned and once more saw the being with blue eyes begin circling them again.

"Nick, if that is Fang, why won't he take his mask off?!" Judy whispered.

"Because Nick here is not completely sure of my identity…are you Nick?" came the teasing voice.

"Oh I'm sure it's you Fang. There is only one person I know of with eyes that can almost kill with one look and put fear in anyone. Except for me that is." Nick said confidently.

"I grow tiresome of this conversation. But I must say that your new partner will do just fine."

"What do you mean by that?!" Judy huffed, now staring harder at the new criminal in their midst. It chuckled and the beings around them chuckled. He then snapped his fingers and his men grabbed Nick!

"LET GO! JUDY RUN!" Nick yelled. Judy immediately ran to help him, but she was grabbed and pinned down to the ground. She tried to use her training to protect herself, but he had her!

"Allow me Officer Hops." The being grinned under his mask. His blue eyes seemed to pin her in place as she saw him reveal a large, gloved, clawed hand. He then snuck his hand into her pocket and pulled out her carrot pen! He cleared his throat and pressed the recording button.

"Officer Bogo. You now have a good voice sample." He spoke. The other beings chuckled in amusement as their leader toyed with Judy. "Please give my regards to the rest of the fleet."

"LET GO OF ME!" Judy demanded.

"Hush rabbit." He said, placing the pen back in her pocket. "For future reference, don't interrupt me while I am working. Let's go men!"

And with those words, they threw Nick over to where Judy was and they disappeared into the night! Once Judy regained her senses, she ran to check on the others.

"Nick are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Is anyone hurt?!" Judy asked.

"Officer Hops. I'm glad you came. He didn't steal anything! He said he was waiting for someone!" The rabbit responded.

"What?" Judy asked.

"Judy. This whole thing was a set up. He was doing this to get our attention."

"So what does he want?"

"I don't know, but if that person was Fang, he will make it known soon." Nick said as he placed an arm protectively around his partner.
