Judy sighed as she wrote the ticket. She stood back a lil ways as Nick spoke to the sloth in the vehicle. Flash had been speeding. Again.

"Look Flash, all you need to do is go a tad slower." He knew almost everybody. So talking mammals into just taking a warning was normally easy. Flash though-

"You… know… how… hard… that is… for… me… Nick." He blinked ever so slowly. Judy's foot thumped as she waited with the ticket for them to finish talking. "I can… only… move… so... fast."

Nick gave that smile of his as he dropped his shades down from his forehead down to his eyes. "Well you'll be losing your job if you get another mark on your license." That smile on Flash's face began to crumble as he continued. "I can only help you so much Flash."

"Ok… Nick… I… get… it..." Nick turned to admire Judy's angry little form as her foot almost blurred as it hit the pavement repeatedly. "...last… warning?"

Nick stared at him for a second before he stood up straight. "Yeah. Last warning." He gave Flash a small wave. "Stay under thirty from now on, alright."

"Thanks… Nick." The window began to roll up as Nick turned to an impatient Judy.

"Last warning huh?" Her foot was was keeping a fast tempo on the pavement as he nodded.

"I meant it." She looked skeptical. "I really do!"

She stood there for a second before she pressed delete on her eCitation. "I believe you." She turned and started to make her way back to the cruiser. Nick watched as Flash's car gradually made its way away. Only getting up to ten miles per hour by the time her reached the end of the street.

As Nick hopped into the cruiser, he noticed Judy was watching him with a smile. "What?" Her smile exposed those large front teeth of hers.

"There's a ten thirty-one on Saxton Avenue. Are you ready for this?" The previous incident with Flash seemingly forgotten. He nodded. "Then you know what to do."

Leaning forward, he pressed the button on the control panel and the sirens started up. Lights began to flash as the cruiser jerked into motion. Cars parted on the road like the Red Sea as they passed.

Nick suddenly felt the familiar chills run down his back. Something was about to happen. He was sure of it. He felt his grip tighten as his paws found his tranquilizer. Judy sensed his apprehension.

"What is it?" She had completely forgotten what happened a few minutes ago. One of the reason why he adored her so much. She could let things go.

He opened his mouth to speak. "I've got this feeling." Another wave of chills went through him once more. "Like something's going to go south."

Judy suddenly remembered that morning. The feeling she got when they were looking in the mirror. "I had a similar feeling this morning." He looked at her sideways.

"Then something must happen. If we both had the same sense of what's to come." He continued to stare at her as they came around a corner. "We should be a bit more careful on this one."

"I'm always careful Nick." That earned her an amused smile.

He chuckled as he spoke. "We both know that's not true." She smiled back. Her large front teeth showing as they came to a stop.

"Alright, ready?" She watched him as he checked his belt and tools.

"Yeah, you?" She nodded. Together they opened their doors to face the problem.

"Are you serious?" It was a little upsetting that the police had to be called for something such as this. A call had been made to nine-one-one after a few kids had gotten into a fight. Not even a physical one, a verbal one.

The call had been made by an elderly prey that had seen the commotion and had contacted police saying, "there's a gang fight happening outside!" Nick and Judy had pulled up to find a few nervous adolescents standing near a table with a few cards spread about it. They fight had been about their 'bad trade' apparently.

Nothing had actually happened. Which brought mixed feeling to the two police mammals. Either their senses had been wrong, or something else was going to happen. Either way, Judy was the first one to voice her disappointment.

"What. The heck. Was that." She pronounced each word with a small ferocity to it. Nick shared her irritation.

"Yeah, it sucked." He leaned back and rested his head on the seat. "Hungry? Nothing clears a mind like some good food."

Judy smiled. "I could really use a cleared mind right now."

"Then to Fredrick's then?"

"Yeah. To Frederick's." Now Frederick's was one of the best restaurants in the whole city. It was opened by Fred, one of the infected predators from almost three years ago. It allowed prey and predator to eat together and was one of the few restaurants to actually have a different menu for each group.

It was packed when they arrived. As it normally was. So it took a few minutes before they could find a spot. Nick was the first to open his door when they did.

"C'mon Fluff. I'm starving."

She came around the cruiser to find him licking his lips. His tongue wrapping around his maw with a near ninety degree angle. She felt heat go to her loins.

"Nick. Please don't do that in public." He gave her a confused look before seeing what she she meant. He gave that foxy smile of his.

"Oh, you mean this?" He did it again. Going a tad slowly and using even more of his tongue. She shuddered with unintentional excitement.

"Nick!" She brought her knees together as they went inside. "Not. In. Public." The bear behind the counter greeted them.

"Hey Mr. and Mrs. Wilde." Sense they were regulars, Fred had gotten to know them a bit. He gave them the nickname when he found out they were a couple. "Can I find you a seat?"

"Yeah." Nick's eyes glinted. "I've been waiting for this all day." He licked his chops again. Judy ears turned pink as she looked away.

Fred smiled as he noticed what was happening. "Alright. A booth in the corner then?" Nick nodded. "Then follow me."

Once they were seated, they were each handed a laminated page with choices on it. "I'll be back to take your orders. Sorry, we're quite busy at the moment." As he walked away, Nick noticed another predator watching him.

The look in his eyes were strange but familiar. It was as though he was scanning him to find out his moves. His gaze followed Nick's hand as it went under the table. The wolf smiled before pulling a napkin into his lap. Sense they were just diagonally across the isle from each other, Nick could hear the click of a hammer being pulled back. He went stiff.

"You alright Nick?" Judy leaned up against him. He could feel the sweat start to go down his neck. Judy sniffed. "Nick?" She followed his gaze.

"You got a problem?" Nick's eyes opened wider as she yelled it at the wolf. "We're trying to find out what to eat." He wolf looked surprised before being both paws up in mock surrender.

"I was just having a staring contest with your friend here." His voice had a strong accent to it. As though he was from far up north. "I apologize if it was rude of me to do so."

Judy softened. "Oh, no no no. I'm sorry. I thought you were doing g something else. I must of overreacted." She motioned for him to sit across from them in the corner booth. He stood up.

Nick fought to control his breathing as the large predator sat down. He curled his feet to make sure theirs didn't touch. Judy of course, started conversation.

"I'm Judy and this is Nick. We're two of the officers of the ZPD." She smiled as she rubbed he badge.

The wolf took her silence as a sign to speak. "My name is David Smith. I'm kinda new to Zootopia. Haven't been here in almost a decade." He sighed. "So much has changed." It was then that Fred showed up.

"I brought- oh. Mr. Smith. It didn't think you'd be joining the Wildes' party." He looked to Judy who nodded. "Alright. What can I get you all?"

Judy and David gave their order while Nick watched him. There was something about that seemed familiar, but he could put a claw on it. He seemed friendly. Though Nick had become a master at reading people. He had this, urge about him. As though he was ready to do something at any point in time. The clicking he heard earlier didn't make him feel better either. It had to be-

"Nick!" Judy's voice brought him from his thoughts. "What would you like?" He looked around before replying.

"I'll take the predator mix salad please." He took a drink from the water in front of him as Fred walked away. "So, David." The wolf leaned forward with a smile. "What does bring you to Zootopia?"
