It has come to my attention that I needed to up the content rating on this story as a K+ rating is suitable for more mature children, 9 years and older, with minor action violence WITHOUT serious injury. May contain mild coarse language. Should not contain any adult themes. This story contains action violence WITH serious injury, so I felt I must up the rating. Also I felt like I was leaving Judy out of things, so here is an entire chapter from her perspective. If you notice any errors, feel free to PM/review and point it out. I used the news anchors from the USA release of the movie. In case you didn't know before, the movie was released with different news anchors in differnet countries. more info can be found on the link below:

compartmental/article/76784/zootopia-has-different-news-anchors-different-countries

Since the link will not "link" you could copy and paste or just google: news anchors in zootopia. You should find multiple articals dedicated to the subject.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: If I owned Zootopia I wouldn't be writing fanfics, I would be writing a sequel. Since I am writing fanfics I guess that means I don't own it. Pity.

Judy

I awoke with a start. My surroundings were unfamiliar. The walls were white. A TV was mounted on the wall across from me. The nearby table was covered by numerous get well cards as well as three vases of flowers. I was wearing a thin gown and the bed I was lying upon looked suspiciously like a hospital bed. I must be in a hospital. What happened ? Why am I here? I could see my right leg was bandaged as was my neck. There were tight bandages draped round my chest, forcing me to take only shallow breaths. I was assaulted by the sudden flood of memories as they came to me. Nick and I running three the museum. Bellwether. The tusk cutting my leg. The plan. Get- ting nov led into the diorama. Bellwether shoots. Nick stalks as bellwether confesses. Bellwether shoots again with the serum this time. Nick pounces … and … nothing. "Did Nick attack me?" I asked myself in a whisper. I wasn't sure I really wanted to know the answer. I picked up the TV remote and after a second of hesitation, I pushed the power button. The TV flicked to life revealing a snow leopard and a moose.

"A police officer was attacked today ad had to be rushed to the hospital. Despite the fact that one of their officers is in the critical care unit, the police had only one thing to say when questioned about it: 'no comment'. The identity of the officer is unknown at this time. Nor do we know what happened that ended with the officer being harmed. Could it be yet another savage predator attack?"

It most likely could be another savage predator attack. One thing is for certain, what ever it is, the police don't want us to know much about it."

"Newly appointed Mayor Dawn Bellwether. …"

I turned off the TV because it appeared that I wouldn't find any answers there. All the news had to offer was speculation. I froze as the impact of what the news anchors had said: officer. Did some other officer get hurt? They must have, after all, I was no longer a police officer since I had rescinded. Or did they mean … no it couldn't have… . A quiet knock at the open door to my room interrupted my thoughts.

"Hopps?" A voice called from the hall. The mammal that had spoken entered my room. The cape buffalo approached the bed I was laying upon and sat down in the chair next to it. He sighed. "Hopps, I know you must be tired, but there are some things I must know." I nodded my acknowledgement. He pulled out a pocket recorder and hit the play button. "What is your full name?"

"Judith Laverne Hopps."

"When did you first meet Nicholas Piberius Wilde?"

"On my first day working for the ZPD."

"Do you recall the date of your first day working for the ZPD?"

"Yes, it was Monday April 20, 2015."

"Starting from the first time you saw Nicholas Piberius Wilde and ending at the last thing you can recall before you woke up here, tell me everything that occurred."

"I was out on parking duty when I heard a car honk from almost hitting a red fox…"

~+{}+~

"Thank you for tell me all of this Hopps." He hit the stop button on the recorder and returned it to his pocket. "How exactly did you get Duke Weaselton to talk? Neither you nor Nick said how. You both said something along the lines of; 'after some persuasion, he was more than willing to tell us exactly what we wanted to know' but you both hesitated before you told me this and we all know that a career criminal like Weaselton will not talk that easily, so what did the two of you do that you don't want me to know. "Chief, you know how I said that we found a record on who drove the limo last?"

"Yes."

"Well, that isn't exactly what happened. It all started on back when I was chasing Weaselton through Little Rodentia. I saved a female arctic shrew's life. Now back to the limo. There were some fancy cups in the back with a big ornate B on them. Upon seeing them, Nick connected the cups with the polar bear fur and the rat pack music. He realized that the limo was Mr. Big." I saw that Bogo stiffened upon hearing who owned the limo. "Judging by your reaction, you probably know who Mr. Big is." He nodded. "Nick immediately tried to get me to leave but it was two late. There were two polar bears outside the limo waiting for us. We were captured and brought before Mr. Big. Nick had offended Mr. Big in the past and I offended him then so he ordered for his bears to ice us. Before that could happen his daughter comes in and happens to recognize me - she was the shrew I saved from the donut - and Mr. Big now sees Nick and I as family. He also told us the driver of his limo and where he lived so that his driver could tell us what happened. So when Nick and I caught Weasel-"

"I think I can see where this is going, Hopps, you went to Mr. Big, had him threaten to ice Weaselton unless he talked. So Weaselton talked to stay alive. Is that basically what happened?"

"It did sum it up pretty well chief, but you missed one important thing."

Bogo frowned in concentration. "Alright just tell me." he said after a minute.

"Fru Fru is pregnant and is naming her child Judy after me, the child's godmother." I saw something I never thought I would see, the chief shocked. His jaw had fallen and was staring off into space. He slowly regained his composure. He reached into his breast pocket and pulled something out and placed it on the table. With his hoof still hiding the object from view, "I believe this is yours."

He than removed his hoof and quickly made his exit while I was staring at what he had left, trying to comprehend what it meant. What he left was a simple object yet it carried so much more meaning with it. It was not very big at all. The gold badge that I had left on the mayor's desk when I resigned now lay on the table before me. I now realized that the officer that they were talking about on the news was me after all. But why. What did I do to get back on the force and could I, should I, accept being reinstated. I winced as a high pitched sound assaulted my hearing.

"Awww. How is my favorite bunny doing today?" Clawhauser entered my room and went aver and gave me a hug before plopping down on the nearby chair.

"I've been better. How many bunnies exactly do you know?"

"Hmm … lets see …" Clawhauser tilted his head as he tried to think of any other bunnies he knew. "I believe that you are the only bunny I know." He finally said after nearly an entire minute of deliberation. "Did you like all the cards I sent you? He gave a wave of his paw at the general direction of most of the cards.

"Y - you sent most of them?"

"Well, actually I only sent the first three in the front row on the left side, most of the ones sent by the other officers, well I may or may not have … um … made sure were bought and sent by them." He said the last part quite quickly as his face started to gain a pinkish hue beneath his fur. "I'm sure that if you had been working here longer so that they actually knew you, they would have sent one without my help … but since you only just started not that long ago …" He trailed off lost in thought.

I leaned over to the flabby, donut loving cheetah and gave him a hug. I really do appreciate it, Clawhauser.

-《 A week later 》-

~+{}+~

I was going to be released from the hospital in a half hour and I couldn't wait.

"Judy! Judy!" Clawhauser calls out as he enters my room he rushes to the bed and lean close to me. And whispered, "I need to tell you something important. It's from the chief. He could not get Nick to be released so he is arranging for Nick to break out. He will need a place to hide out, sooo …" Clawhauser hesitated.

"You want him to hide out with me? But I am not sure how I ended up in the hospital or if - if he," I swallowed a lump that had formed in my throat and blinked back the tears that were threatening to erupt, "if he was the one who …"

Clawhauser cut in, saving me from having to saw it. "Exactly. He is the only one who has the answers to your questions."

"But wouldn't he have been interrogated about what happened?"

"Well, yes." He admitted shyly, "But you're on a mandatory one month paid leave for full recovery, so unless you want to wait a month, the only way you will find the answers is if you ask him."

"Fine. Where do we meet and I don't think my apartment will work for us to hide out in. It is barely big enough for me to live in."

"That is why you will be back heading home to the Burrows. After all that is what most people will expect a person in your position to do, go home and visit family."

"I guess so, bu-."

"Here is what will happen. When you get released at 10:00 you will immediately go home and pack. At about 10:20 Nick will be dropped off." Clawhauser handed me two train tickets. "Here are you tickets. The train leaves at 11:00. Good luck Judy!" He gave me a hug, which I returned. "Well I better get back to the station." He hurried out.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "What will my parents say?" I quietly asked myself.

I started this morning with only about 300 words of this chapter. I was really busy lately with settling my father's estate and didn't get much time to write, so this chapter is not as long as I promise. It is however, larger than the rest of the chapters so far. I came to a perfect chapter break (At least in my mind) so I figured it was a good place to stop. I HOPE to get possibly 2 chapters out next week if all goes to plan. (We all know what will happen. My plans will all get ruined by some unexpected event, but I hope that it will not.) Also I would like to know what all of you think so far. Do you like the story? Do you *Gasp* Not? and please also put why you feel the way you do. Also, I am always looking for critique on my writing so that I may improve it. Till my insanity returns,

Erised on and Erised out.
