Disclaimer: I am going to try to have a disclaimer in every story, just so you know what's going on. Also, I would like to give credit to Venomheart the Dreamer for constructive criticism on my last chapter. If you have advice (or criticism) please tell me and make it nice, I'd like to read a nice review instead of a mean review. If you tell me these things please tell me how I can achieve them. And try to leave in some things I'm doing right. I try my best every day, I'm not a robot. Venomheart the Dreamer told me that I am not using POVs correctly, so I am going to make it first person from now on. The third times the charm. I do not a fucking thing about Zootopia other than this story.

Chapter 3

NICK POV

I woke up to...nothing. No alarm, no nagging Judy, nothing. Complete blissful silence. This didn't surprise me since my body has wired its self to wake up in time for work. I became so addicted on impressing Judy while being myself, It just became a habit. Great when on duty; sucks when off duty. Although that wasn't the only thing I woke up to. I woke up to a completely rainy day and next to an attractive rabbit. I would be cool with it, if I wasn't spooning her. Here we were, lying down, in such a provocative way. The only natural thing that was happening was how my body reacted, and even then it wasn't normal. Me noticing my arousal was enough to wake me up. I quickly but quietly get up and get dressed. We would have to pick up the pace if we wanted to get my uniform, which is at my apartment, get breakfast, and get to the station.

That's when I heard the alarm. Beep, beep, beep, click! I looked back to Judy and saw that she was awake with a smile. God, that smile could make Chief Bogo start singing. She must have noticed my haste and asked, "What's the matter?"

Without stopping I explained, "If we are going to stop at my apartment to get my uniform and get breakfast AND be on time. We gotta move." With that said, she was already up and running.

In her car, Judy waited for me to get ready. We made it to my apartment in decent time, if traffic holds up nice, we should be at the station, fully fed with 5 minutes to spare. I was thinking of this as I was putting the last of my suit on. I do a quick check of myself in the mirror, grab my wallet, and rush out the door. I book it down to Judy's car and jumped in shotgun. Judy floored it to our favorite breakfast cafe.

After we pick up our food, we head to the station. There is a break room where we can eat, that is if we make it on time. "I hate mornings," I grimaced with Judy giggling. Her giggle swells my heart, but no time to get all mushy, we were about to hit a red light. Time slows down as that green light turns to yellow. "Aw shit," I curse. I wondered a bit why Judy didn't jump on my case, but honestly, I don't care. I watched that yellow light... turn back to green? Judy and I both look at each other, jaw dropped, and look back to the road.

This sort of thing reminded me back to when we saved the wolf yesterday; that sudden phone call that Officer Gerald received. These things kind of things don't just happen. There is no such thing as a yellow light turning green. Judy pressed the gas and she drove a few more minutes. Gerald acted confused when I said I didn't call, so that must mean he didn't know the mammal who called. But how did the caller get the number. From a friend, from a relative... from Gerald? It's possible that Gerald could have lied about the identity of the caller. But why would he do that, and why did that yellow light turn to red and then immediately to green?!

When we got to the station, we had 10 FUCKING MINUTES TO EAT! That's insane! That was even more than I calculated. "Holy shit," I quietly said aloud as Judy and I walk in. "Watch it," she said in the same hushed tone. "We have to tell the chief," she announced, but before she could run off, I grabbed her. She turned around and gave me a confused look. "Can we at least eat first?" I complained, "I woke up early, had a shock, and I still haven't eaten yet." Judy rolled her eyes, "Fine, just quit whining." I gave her my annoying smirk-I mean my handsome grin and gave her a real dogs' whine. This annoys the shit outta her because of her ears. As a consequence, she punches me.

10 MINUTES LATER

JUDY'S POV

We are currently sitting in the bullpen, awaiting for Bogo to arrive. I would have just busted into his office and tell him what happened, but Clawhuaser and Nick both told me, that this was something he would want to tell everyone anyway. So here we were sitting on the same over sized chairs waiting.

"So Carrots," Nick started without looking at me, "what do you think is going on?" I, personally, never thought about it until now. I was focused on more, important, things. Now that I had a chance to clear my head (somewhat), I thought about it. "Honestly, I didn't care at first," I began, "I thought it was just the biggest coincidence in history. But now, I kind of think this goes back to the mayor." Nick gave me a baffled look, "How?" he demanded. I actually didn't know why, I guess I just wanted an answer right away, amateur move.

"Attention!" the hippo officer yelled. The whole room started chanting and chanting until my ears, figuratively, bled. "Shut it!" Bogo yelled even louder. I flinched and Nick remarked, "Good to know he's back."

"What was that Wilde?" Chief questioned.

"Nothing sir," Nick replied. God, Nick's going to get himself killed one day. Bogo looked through his dockets for a minute and looked back at the officer. "I jinxed it," Nick poorly whispered. It took me the will of a supernova to not laugh. "Shut up," Bogo said normally and continued, "there is still a threat that no one knows about, but there has been a few... disturbing cases." I was a bit scared, it wasn't like Bogo to hesitate like that, but I kept a strong face on. Bogo continued, "McHorn, turn on the projector."

The officer did as he was told and turned it on. What came up was more than disturbing, it was down right horrifying. There was a fox, bigger paws than usual but not that different than Nick, which was another thing that terrified her. It was like a foreboding message and god it was. He was there hanging from his arms, being beaten with a blunt metal pipe, and bloody words beside him saying 'FILTHY'. They must have gotten the blood from the many open wounds on the foxes body. I wanted to look away, had to, but by god I was not going to look like scared little bunny. I kept my ground and my sanity."Next," ordered the Chief and McHorn followed through. This next one was a female, she was a bunny, although longer ears than normal. This one was a lot less bloody than the fox, but just as terrible. She was stripped naked the only thing covering her is the blur that Bogo probably put on. On her head was a glass box... and it was filled with water.

"This one was raped and murdered," Bogo said, "you may turn it off now." As soon as the projector was off, Bogo continued, "These were two of the many cases. We don't know what's going on or who's doing it or why. But we have to stop it. McHorn, Delgato, and Francine take a look down Sahara square. There's been a domestic disturbance of some sort, find it, stop it. Wolfard and Dire, there has been a robbery. Find the culprit and bring him to justice. Hold on." Just as the animals were moving he stopped them. "I have been told that Nick and Judy have discovered something." He looked at us and motioned with his hoof to talk.

I jumped onto the table and turned around to face everyone. This reminded me of when I had that press conference after Nick and I found the missing mammals. This was not going to end the same way though, I was not going to hurt Nick, and I was not going to give false information. I was not going to screw this up. That's when I began, "As you probably know, Nick and I had a bleeding mammal yesterday and we saved him and captured the assailant." That's when Nick interrupted, "Please hold your applause till the end." He got a few chuckles out of the group. I didn't know whether to slap him or thank him, I just decided to continue. "That was when Officer Gerald came to pick up the victim. Officer Gerald told us that he received a call from an unknown individual telling him about the information at the alley. I never thought much of it until this morning. Nick and I were running late and were about to hit a yellow light. Just as we thought we were going to be late, the light turned right back to green." I heard a couple of surprised murmurs from the group and a complaint about traffic. "It happened the entire way here, every light at every intersection. I don't know if this has anything to do with the mayor or this murderous cult, but we found it interesting. Thank you for your attention," and I hopped down.

"Dismissed," Bogo deadpanned. I was a little disappointed we didn't get that applaud Nick mentioned. Oh well, we have work to do.

2 WEEKS LATER

NICK'S POV

I loved the good old days when the biggest surprise was Bogo giving us parking duty. It's been two weeks since Judy gave her Oscar awarding announcement, and nothing changed. Actually, that's an exaggeration, what I meant was that things aren't getting easier. We currently have one of our suspects in custody in need of questioning by, yours truly, me. I walk down the hallway holding the prisoners, each one gave me a different shudder, one of fear, one of disgust, and one of cold. Seriously, they need a heater down here, it colder than then my mom's house - with the AC on! Subsiding these subzero thoughts (Oh god) I looked at the cell number I was supposed to go to. "34," I stated aloud. The prison cells were actually below the station, but we don't store hardcore prisoners like Bellwether down here, these are for thieves, thugs, and other minor things. We have stuck some murderers down here depending on the murder and how it was performed.

"Here it is," I stated aloud once more. I think I should mention that McHorn is behind me. While the cells are down here, there questioning room is upstairs. McHorn is helping me bring him up here since this guy is a cheetah. However he can't cheet-ah his way outta this one. HA HA!

The spotted fiend looked up at me and gave me a sinister grin through the bars. "Well well. What a surprise. Me, lonely little old me, gets a free visit from Nicholas Wilde. How delightful," he sneered. This guy, Tommy Pawers, was thrown in here for his illegal drug trading. We (Judy and I) caught him by the docks when his group were leaving in a blue truck. The drugs consisted of mostly catnip but there were other lethal doses of other components.

"Listen. I would love to have light chat but," I start as I unlocked the cell door, "we are on a tight schedule I'll need you to cooperate." I throw open the door and Officer McHorn applied the handcuffs. Tommy shrugged as he walked with us to the elevator. On the way back we saw the other inmates: Micheal, a rhino who robbed a bank with his gang. Felicia, a provocative female panther who was guilty of domestic abuse. Luke, a fox who was charged for, what I would call, hustling.

These were some of the few that were down here; the bigger ones are at ZCA (Zootopia Criminal Asylum). We walked in the elevator and pressed the 1st floor buttoned and went up. The elevator was very quiet with no music until Tommy asked, "So, may I get something to drink? I'm parched." I looked back toward him and saw he was holding his throat to indicate that he was thirsty. I looked back toward the door and replied, "The room will be set up with some minor refreshments. Don't worry."

"Aw, How sweet of you. I wouldn't think my favorite cop would care so much about me," he said sarcastically. I didn't know if he was trying to piss me off or he was just a pro. Either way it didn't work, if anything I enjoy it, it's nice to talk to someone who is laid back like him. But this could be his plan. Get me softened up so I let my guard down. So I decided to give him one of my own remarks.

"It's mostly for me, but I'm sharing." I responded. I heard a hard chuckle from behind me and I smiled. The door opened to the the main floor and we walked out and made a sharp right to the questioning room. The bright walls suddenly turned gray as we entered the room. McHorn released Tommy and walked out, closing the door behind him. I walked over to one end of the table and sat while Tommy did the same. I gestured toward the glasses of water, "Help yourself." The feline looked at the glasses and looked back toward me, hesitating, then asked, "Is this supposed to butter me up? Get me calm so you can pry information outta me?"

I chuckled to myself and just moved on, "It can be whatever you want it to be. But, yeah. So first question, who are you working for?" Tommy was already drinking from his cup and looked at me. He set down his glass and sighed. "You really don't know? I thought she was already famous. Wait, of course you don't know. You're too busy chasing your tail to pay attention," he softly face palmed and laughed. "Or were too busy chasing that rabbit's tail? I wouldn't blame you; she's gotta nice ass."

This was building up inside me since the tail thing, but now he dragged Judy into his banter. That's just cold, wait, frigid! If I knew I could win, I would beat the shit out of him, but I knew he was too fast. So I kept my cool. "Very funny, but that still doesn't answer my question." He waited for a bit then asked, "Where is she anyway, that sexy ass? Is she out to get more condoms for the two of you? Or is she already dead?"

This motherfucker is REALLY pushing it. Condoms? Are you serious? If only . . . great now I'm thinking it. I clear my thoughts and kept my poker face. "She on patrol now answer my damn question. Who is your Boss?" He refilled his glass and took another sip. "I won't say nothin' till I feel like it. Why don't ask some easier questions? Or maybe you could answer some of my questions?" This bitch was asking for a info and a beat down. Only the will of god get me in check. "Whatever makes you feel better," I gave in. As soon as those words left my mouth, he got a frightened look, "This place is fortified right?" he asked frantically. I gave a confused look, "Yeah, why?" He looked around as if he was searching for something. He then looked back at me, "I don't want him to find me." I shot up quickly, "WHO!?" I shouted. Tommy looked taken back but then leaned forward and was about to whisper something until McHorn walked in. I gave my complete attention immediately, "Time's up."

WHAT THE HELL! This son of a bitch wasted 45 minutes!? He is smarter than I thought. I got up and walked to McHorn with a stern look on my face, "Could you deal with him?" He looked down to me and gave me a thumbs up, "Don't worry about this scum, I got him. By the way, Chief wants to talk to you, said it was important." I nodded and walked down the hall and thought to myself, I wonder if this has anything to do with what Tommy said?
