"I still can't believe he sent you a fox tazer."

Nick Wilde didn't say this out of disbelief, but rather out of amusement. He sat in his normal spot in the passenger seat of the cop car he and Judy Hopps always drove, while Hopps herself drove down on their patrol. "Neither can I. Did you know that he tried to give me one before I left for Zootopia the first time?" she asked.

"I do recall you telling me, once upon a time."

The fox's aviators gave off a large reflective shine in lite of the outside sun. Savannah Central was bustling with wildlife going about their daily lives. Officer Wilde sat calmly in his seat, coffee in paw as he watched a mother bear carrying her two cubs across the street. Officer Hopps slowed down and stopped the car so they could get across. The mother bear waved in thanks and hurried her children along.

"I hope you won't find it to offending that he sent it to me; he's just really paranoid about predators. Always has been." Hopps continued.

Officer Wilde took a sip from his cup and gave off a smirk. "Carrots, please. At this point, I can take anything they throw at me. I'm practically immune."

Officer Hopps gave her partner a look of concern. While his statement was strong and true, there was a sadness to this truth. "You know you can talk to me if that ever changes. I'm here for you."

Officer Wilde sat up from his comfy position, and looked straight at his partner through his aviators. "Judy…"

"Nick…"

"STOP THE CAR!"

Out of reflex, the bunny slammed on her breaks. The timing was absolutely perfect. The car was literally right in front of a large elephant. She was wearing a sweater dress over tan pants, and had a small kitten in her arms, shielding him from getting hit. Officer Wilde lifted his shades from his eyes and saw the kitten looked very sour.

"First off all, I already know that. Second of all, keep your eyes on the road!" Nick got out of the car and motioned for Judy to park. As she did so, Nick helped the two across the street as more cars started to pass by.

"Sorry about that ma'am. My partner and I were just having a talk about feelings." The fox officer said.

"Oh, that's quite alright. Thank you."

Nick twitched his shades and started to walk across the street, when all the sudden, the elephant stopped him. "Wait, officer wait."

Nick turned around. "My name is Mrs. Lauren Tusk. I run Savannah Central's local orphanage. One of our more troublesome children broke out of confinement last night, and we've been looking for him all day."

The fox cop removed his aviators and gave off a look of concern. "What does he look like?"

The elephant placed the kitten she was holding back on the ground. He remained silent and looked away with folded arms. "He's a border collie. Orange eyes. Eight years old. Likes to wear bright shirts. His name is Benny." The elephant described.

Officer Wilde was about to say something, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a black, white and neon green figure jogging along the other side of the street. Nick removed his aviators to discover it to be a small puppy, clad in a neon green t shirt and blue jeans. He was carrying come kind of pouch across his back. "Would your lost puppy happen to look like him?"

Nick pointed to the boy, and both Lauren and the kitten followed his gaze. The elephant gasped. "BENNY! BENNY!"

The elephant took off after him, stopping three cars in the road in the process. The puppy took notice of the large caretaker and immediately took off running. He quickly found sanctuary and ran into a supermarket, and Lauren followed him inside, knocking a llama aside and spilling his grocery bags on the street.

With a sigh, the kitten, who hadn't moved, slowly started to approach the building, hands in his pockets. Nick examined the young feline as he walked with him. Looked young, yet mature. Wore a pale grey t shirt with black pants. Had a survival wristband on his left wrist, and wore a blue cap on his head.

The fox took notice of his bunny partner still in the car, and motioned for her to get out. He then put his hand on the small cat's shoulder and made him stop walking once they got across the street. "Wait here, I'll tell my partner what's going on, and we'll all go in together."

It was hot, it was humid, and it was a total waist of a day. These were the thoughts on Adrian Rory's mind as the fox in the police uniform had him wait for his bunny partner. Adrian didn't know if the two were for real or playing dress up, and didn't care. Benny had gotten himself in trouble last night…again, and was sent to solitary for the next two days as punishment. The orphanage didn't enjoy doing that to its children but what choice did it have? Some of these kids just wouldn't listen to their caretakers. Adrian didn't care about that though.

It was bad enough that that stupid puppy dog had to get Adrian dragged out in the middle of the rainy chilly night because of that, but he had to break out of confinement the morning immediately after that little incident too?

Adrian didn't actually care about that either, but he did care when he had to be the one to pick up the mess. It was the caretakers' jobs to put all misbehaving children in their place. That was always how it was supposed to be. And yet for some reason, the head of the orphanage always had to drag him into pulling a particularly annoying troublemaker out of the fire, and back into the frying pan. And he hated it.

He had just finished contemplating on this, when the two mammals in uniform tapped his shoulder, telling him it was time to go. Guess they were the real deal after all. He could hear them talking to him, but he paid them absolutely no mind. He was still too busy thinking about his annoyingly large role in taking care of the annoying puppy, Benny Collins.

The swinging from the tree stump was bad enough, but the fact that he just couldn't stay for his punishment was even worse. Wait, wasn't he thinking about that already? UGH!

Adrian looked up in frustration, and saw how far he had gotten. Not only had he made it to the supermarket, but he was halfway inside already. Mammals were loudly chattering all around him, going about their shopping as part of their regular routines. The kitten realized that he was actually walking alone. The two cops he entered with were nowhere to be seen. Oh well.

With another huff, Adrian put his ears to the ground in order to pinpoint the sound of Mrs. Tusk's desperate screaming. It was probably the loudest thing in the store.

"You see where he went, Nick?"

The two officers scanned the area to look for their missing kitten. "Nada Carrots. Absolutely nada. Oh, and that goes for our elephant, too."

In their defense, the prune-faced kitten had marched away from them in a rather big hurry. He must've really cared about that puppy, or that's what Hopps thought anyways. Her super-sensitive hearing was scanning the noises of the crowd for anything useful, while her partner took another sip of coffee from his paper cup.

Just then, she heard a very concerned yell coming from somewhere in the toy isles. "BENJAMIN MAXWELL COLLINS! YOU COME DOWN FROM THERE THIS INSTANT!"

Her hearing wasn't required for that one. Both her, Nick, and a good amount of other mammals heard the scream of desperation coming from the bicycle section. "Oh, there they are. Let's go."

Officer Wilde led the way, while Officer Hopps followed close behind. Just then, they spotted the kitten that hurried inside. Officer Hopps caught up to him, and held his paw to make sure he didn't fall behind, or go to fast. Lauren was easy to spot. She was standing on her tip-hooves, trying to grab at the little puppy, who was poking at her large fingers with a green four-wheeled scooter. The kind that could have its handle folded down while the wheel stays in place. "Back! Back, you large ruffian! Back I say!" Benny called as if he were a knight talking down a dragon.

Lauren was no closer to getting him down from where he sat, and the situation was starting to get ridiculous. Adrian pried his hand from Judy's and scanned the area. He looked around the other toys in the area, until he spotted a cage filled with rubber balls. One in particular struck his fancy; a red and yellow bouncy ball big enough to fit into his paw, or at least that's what it looked like from where he was standing.

Adrian quickly stormed over to the small item, and reached out to grab it. The sooner he was done with this, the sooner he could go back to his room and sleep. Just as his paw made contact with the ball, another paw just as large as his own grabbed it at the same time. Adrian looked up to see the bunny officer was right at his side.

"What are you doing?" Adrian asked. "I was gonna lure him down with this." She answered. "Wait, really? That's actually what I was gonna do." Adrian was honestly a little surprised. Mrs. Tusk had never demonstrated enough creativity to get the pet peeve of a puppy out of trouble other than to call upon his assistance. Deciding to let this bunny who seemed to share his logic take the lead, he pulled his paw back, and let the bunny go in his place. She took the ball from its cage, and hurried back to the bikes and scooters. A sharp whistle on the bunny's part got Benny's immediate attention. "Hey, little guy. Quick question:" the bunny began.

Then she showed him what she was holding. "Who wants the ball?"

The very sight of the brightly colored object made the puppy drop the scooter and started jumping up and down on the isle's shelf in excitement. "Oh! Oh Oh Oh! I want it! I want the ball! I want the ball! I want the ball!" he shouted, jitters filling his voice."

"You want this ball?"

"YES!"

"You sure you want this ball?"

"YES YES!"

"You sure you sure you want this ball?"

"I'M SURE I'M SURE! I WANT THE BALL! I WANNA PLAY WITH THE BALL!"

"Then FETCH!"

Judy underhandedly tossed the ball across the walkway of the hall towards the exit door. Seeing it leave his site, Benny picked the scooter back up, and proceeded to jump off of the isle, and into the newly made crowd of mammals watching the show. They all cleared a patch as the scooter landed first. Its wheels immediately started rolling when it hit the ground, allowing Benny to chase after his prize much faster. The ball was rolling down the isles and closer to the exit door, and Benny was getting close. "I got it! I got it! I got it!" the puppy exclaimed in excitement. However, just as he was getting close to it, a wolf in a pale green t shirt suddenly barged in the store, blocking the puppy from the ball.

"Whoa! Incoming!" he shouted. Out of reflex, he steered the scooter away from the wolf, and right into the female clothing department, disappearing from sight. The wolf looked at the area with confusion, before shaking his head, and redirecting his attention to the rest of the mammals, pulling out a gun in the process. "Nobody move! THIS IS A ROBBERY! NOBODY MOVE!" he shouted.

The other mammals in the store immediately started screaming when they heard 'robbery'. Nick dropped his coffee cup while Judy picked up Adrian and put him out of sight. Nick grabbed the large elephant and did the same while he got his radio and started to contact the station. Adrian and Judy watched as the wolf started threatening the mammals at the registers. He ignored all the other mammals completely.

The grey kitten took off his cap and started looking around the area. He took notice of Nick's coffee cup. It was still standing upright, and hardly any of it had spilled. He then looked to the bunny protecting him, and saw the taser that was holstered in her belt. That's when he got an idea. "Hey officer. Where do they keep the large gallons of water?" he asked. Judy was taken off guard at this question. The store was being robbed, and he wanted water? Cats hate water.

"Uh…over in the drink department. Why?" she asked as she pointed to the area. "You have a taser. Electricity like the kind from a taser can electrocute water. If we could get a large amount of water to his feet…"

"…we could electrocute him where he's standing and subdue him!" Judy was astonished with the little kitten's creativity. Thankfully, the large isles were good at hiding their presence from the wolf, who was almost halfway done with cleaning out the registers already. "Nick, make sure that the other hostages are safe, I'll be right back." Judy ran swiftly and silently to the drink isle, and Adrian followed close behind, grabbing Nick's half empty paper cup.

Benny was lying in a pile of female's clothes, the most obvious one being the lavender blouse. Close by, the scooter he was riding lay at its side. The puppy took off the blouse and looked around for the prize he yearned to sink his little teeth into. He slowly crawled out of the isle, and squinted around the store, looking for his prize and ignoring the rest. That's when he saw it: the beautiful red and yellow rubber ball that had stopped rolling and was now still as can be, in between the two exit doors that held the cart room, waiting to be claimed. Benny picked his new scooter back up, and lay on it with his stomach. The handle was in between his legs. Then he slowly used his arms and legs to paddle his way to his quarry, almost getting ran over by Adrian.

Wait, Adrian?

Benny looked up to see the cross kitten was holding something. A large gallon of water by the look of it. He stopped in his tracks however, and took notice of the puppy, still lying on the scooter. He then followed his gaze, and saw the ball where the rabbit officer had tossed it. Adrian put his finger to his lips to shush the little dog up, and he decided to humor him by pretending to button his lip. Adrian put the gallon down and quietly hurried to pick up the ball. He then hurried back, and motioned for Benny to follow. Benny, not changing his position, paddled close behind, eager to get the ball from his grumpy guardian angel's clutches.

Judy had sent Adrian to the other side of the store to do his part of the plan. Nick was tending to the other hostages and was nowhere to be seen by now. That meant it was up to her and her new companion to take care of the threat. She knew however, deep down that having a child help her with a crisis was wrong. But what else could she do? Her partner was busy, and backup wasn't available. She was at least relieved to know that the little guy was smart. She was sure of that. That meant that he should be capable of looking after himself, if all else was to fail.

The wolf was now in between her and the kitten. That meant it was time to strike. The robber was just getting to the last register when she walked up to her with baited breath. "Stop right there, sir! Judy Hopps! ZPD! You are under arrest!"

"Huh?" the wolf looked down to see the bunny talking to him with her hands on her hips in a heroic pose. "Drop your weapon, and stand down! This is your only warning!"

"You-you serious lady? For-forget it! Stay back!" The wolf pointed his gun at the officer, making the other hostages gasp out in fear. That's when the paper cup hit him in the head. The hot coffee immediately got his attention, and made him turn around.

The cause of the coffee was nothing more than a little kitten, holding a large gallon of water and clad with a grumpy expression. "Hi. You're going to be in pain now." He said.

The kitten spilled the water when he finished talking. Or rather tossed the open gallon towards him, and making it spill. The water traveled a long way too, wetting his feet and almost reaching the bunny who ordered him under arrest. He looked at her in confusion, and then realized that she was holding a taser…and was now turning it on. Before he even had time to shout, she dropped the activated weapon into the water, electrocuting him where he stood.

Adrian watched as the wolf began to jitter where he was standing. All that was needed to be done now was to make sure he wouldn't die from electrocution. Fortunately, he knew just how to do that. "So Benny…you want the ball now?"

The little puppy beamed, and nodded his head with excitement. "Alright then. GO FETCH!" Like the bunny, Adrian underhandedly tossed the ball right into the watery trail, stopping in between the wolf's legs. In a flash, Benny was rolling after his prize, his tongue trailing behind him. As Adrian expected, the ball, and the wolf, were swept up from the electrical watery path, and Benny was now cradling the ball…in his mouth.

Gross.

Nick watched everything with the large elephant from Judy's intervention to the puppy saving the wolf from over-electrocution. He knew that the sudden crisis had passed, so he stepped out, leaving the elephant. "Okay! It's alright now, everyone! You can come out! It's over!" he started.

"Hey, Nick. Did it all go okay on your end?" Judy asked.

"Not to worry, Carrots. The civis are a little shaken, but after a little quiet time, they should be fine."

"Good. Let's get this guy cuffed, and tend to those kids."

The two officers helped the still conscious wolf to his feet as they cuffed him, but then realized that the puppy, kitten, and the items they had stolen were nowhere to be found. "What happened to those kids?" Nick asked.

"You mean the ones who helped you out? The puppy ran out of here with that scooter and ball a few seconds ago. The cat chased after him. He was really mad." The wolf explained.

The two officers looked at each other, and then to the elephant that had been chaperoning the two. "Knowing Adrian, he'll have found a way to get Benny back to the orphanage soon. I better go get the car, and…go make sure they're alright."

And with that, Mrs. Lauren Tusk hurried on out the store, desperate to find her most elusive children.

It was around this time that the officers had learned how creative, and how destructive, the two could potentially be. Of course, being children of an orphanage, they wouldn't have to worry too much about delivering consequences. That was something that Mrs. Tusk was more than capable of accomplishing.

I myself had first learned of this incident five hours after it happened via the news, and I had an immediate feeling that these two would be seen a lot more very soon. It wasn't until their next incident happened however, did I realize that I had underestimated just how potentially destructive they could become…
