8:30 am Hospital
As Nick carried Lumine in his arms as he and Judy walked into the hospital.
Going straight to the receptionist desk, Nick tapped on the glass and was greeted by a female otter.
"Hello there Mr?"
"Wilde, Nick Wilde" the smug fox said as he looked down at his bunny partner, who was tapping her foot rapidly.
" Well, Mr Wilde how can I help you today?" She asked as she looked at her computer.
"I brought my son Lumine in because he needs a check up and some shots" Nick replied as he felt a pair of claws poke him in the ribs.
The Otter pulled out a stack of forms from a drawer and pawed them over to Nick as she said, "go take a seat and fill these out. The doctor will see you shortly."
Nick took the stack of papers from the Otter then him and Judy walked over to the nearest seats.
After fifteen minutes of filling out paperwork the nurse called for them to come back and see the doctor.
The trio sat in the room as they waited for the doctor to show up. About 5 minutes later there was a knock on the door.
Judy spoke up, "come in doctor."
A black panther walked in wearing a white lab coat as he introduced himself, "Hi, I'm doctor Blackpaw. Now what seems to be the problem today?"
"Well, doc I found Lumine yesterday and I could tell he was starved when he ate last night. Then when he got ready for bed I saw the claw marks on his body" Judy explained as the doctor looked over Lumine's fragile body.
Doctor Blackpaw did all of his examinations on the pup. And also gave Lumine two booster shots as well.
As Dr Blackpaw turned to leave the room, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he said, "Oh, officers I think it's great that you two are an inter-species couple and are willing to take care of this pup."
Nick looked over at Judy, who was blushing and trying to hide her ears. After the doctor left Judy looked at Nick, then at Lumine who was sitting on the table in all fur.
"Hey Slick can you help Lumine put his clothes back on. I have to ask the Dr another question" Judy said as she darted out the door.
Waiting for a moment to make sure Judy couldn't hear him. Nick turned to Lumine as he asked, "ok, Scamp just between me and you dose Judy feel the same way about me as I do her?"
Lumine's eyes turned deep red as he spoke, "you know you are a dumb fox right? That bunny is paw over tail for you. Don't miss your chance" Nick watched as Lumine eyes turned back to normal.
After Nick helped Lumine get dressed the vulpine couldn't help but feel happy inside at knowing Judy felt the same way.
Judy sat in the waiting room waiting for the boys to appear from the back. When they did Judy walk up to them as she said, "Dr Blackpaw gave me some meds that going to help Lumine put on some weight."
"what about something for the marks?" Nick asked.
Judy replied, "he told me to just put coco butter on them and they should go away in a few weeks."
The trio left the hospital and headed to the car. Nick stopped by a drugstore and a breakfast place before he had to go to the precinct.
Lumine sat in the back seat, munching on a blueberry muffin as the car pulled up to the police station. The pup looked out the window and could see so many different mammals coming and going he asked them both while still looking out the window.
"So is this were you guys work mommy and daddy?"
Looking through the rear view mirror, Nick replied, "yup, this is the place Scamp. Now lets go in and see what old chief buffalo butt wants."
The trio got out of the car and headed towards the building doors. Entering the building, Nick and Judy were surprised to see the chief waiting for them in the lobby.
" Officers Hopps and Wilde nice to see you two could come in." Bogo said as he looked down at his smaller officers.
"Hi chief buffalo butt!" Lumine joyfully said as he looked up at the chief of police.
A few other officers walked past laughing as Bogo looked directly at Nick as he said, "Wilde if you and Hopps wasn't my best team on the force. I would put your fluffy tail on parking duty in the middle of Tundra town for a month."
Nick looked down at Lumine who just smiled up at him. "Chief, this is Lumine" Judy said changing the subject.
"Ah, yes. I did some digging and had a chance to interrogate that deer Wolford brought in today. What we uncovered was that the deer is not the only one after Lumine. What we don't know is why he's a target." Bogo explained as they walked to his office.
As the four mammals walked into the office Bogo pointed to his desk where there was a folder lying on it.
"Officers Wilde and Hopps in that folder is all of Lumine Silvepaws, the information you will need. I'm putting you both in charge over his well being until we find out why someone wants him dead!"
Nick and Judy looked through the file for a moment before Judy asked, "chief can we change his last name?"
It didn't take Bogo long to think about it as he replied, "sure, that's a good idea Hopps and what about your living arrangement?"
"We will have it changed to mine chief" Nick said looking at Judy.
After about 10 more minutes of talking to the chief. The trio started to walk out until Lumine stopped and said, "Chief the cat your chasing really loves you go ask it out already."
Bogo had a shocked look on his face.
