Judy ended up watching two things. The filled roads of Zootopia. And then there's…
"Hey carrots. Did you ever get any calls when you were a meter maid?" Nick asks looking to her as he mindlessly ate their doggy bag.
Judy rolls her eyes. "Hardly. Meter maid cars don't have a radio. So if we get into trouble, we have to rely on the radios on us. And those sometimes goes out of range."
Nick scoffs. "Cheapos. You can't ever skimp when a life could be at stake."
Judy sighs and leans back in her seat as she kept driving. "Welcome to Zootopia, you might say?"
Nick chuckles once. "There's that. But this is you carrots. The hero cop who went from a meter maid to a full blown cop in just a few days. Most would probably kill to get into your position and then never get that chance."
Judy smiles as she watches his eyes and sees nothing changing. 'Mild emotions.' She chuckles as she turns back to the road. "Well thank you for the compliment Nick. That means a lot coming from you."
Nick grins. "So do I get a prize or you doing my paperwork?" He asks stuffing his mouth full of food.
"Don't push it."
Nick chuckles. "It was worth a shot." He says muffled behind the food.
Judy shakes her head as they head into a new development area in the Sahara district. "At least it's quiet today. Maybe we can go back to the precinct without any calls today."
"All units. 211 in progress on 8th and Houser. Suspect is now on foot."
Nick looks out the window and sees they are on 8th and Houser and sees a car with its door wide open on the side of the road on the other side of the construction lot with two figures running from it and one limping. "Spoke too soon carrots." He said putting his glasses on and packing the food away.
Judy shakes her head a little as she grabs the radio. "Car 213. We are nearby. Be advised. Might have a 207. Let's go Nick." She says as he turns on the siren and she drives onto the construction lot after the two figures who soon reveal themselves to be a dark wolf and a young cheetah. "ZPD! Freeze!" Judy yells over the megaphone.
The wolf looks back to them glaring before continuing to run as he kept a grip on the cheetah's wrist before the cheetah slides and then pushed its legs under his chin and makes him let go before shaking his head and runs off.
"Nick. Deal with the cheetah and call it in." Judy says getting out of the car and runs after the wolf through the unfinished buildings. Judy suddenly ducks as a few hammers went past her head before trying to keep up. "ZPD! Stop!" She yells as the wolf jumps over the construction fence before she follows as well and stops as she sees him going into the housing district. "Damn it." She curses as she takes out the tranquilizer gun from behind her under her shirt and aims carefully. "Hold…"
The wolf pants as he ran before yelping as he falls and skids down along the sidewalk knocked out with a dart in his tail.
Judy blinks and sighs in relief as she hostlers the gun away before walking over and starts to cuff the wolf. "Hopps." Nick calls driving over with the car and steps out. "You okay?"
Judy nods as she starts to drag the wolf. "Yeah. Fine. A little help?" She asks dragging him to the car before Nick lifts him up and puts him in the backseat. "Thanks. At least this an open and shut case."
Nick sighs. "Yeah." He says looking back to the road and they see the cheetah walking over and sees a female cheetah in a suit. "You okay?"
The cheetah nods as she walks up to the car and stares at the wolf. "Tch. Idiot. Simple carjacker. Do I need to put a statement?"
Judy nods. "If you want him put away."
The cheetah sighs. "Okay. I guess I'll see you at the station." She says before walking off back to the open car.
Nick turns to Judy at that point. "I love this job." He says grinning.
Judy rolls her eyes before getting into the driver seat and Nick gets into the passenger side. "Nice work Nick." She says driving off.
Nick nods before turning to her. "What are you doing with that gun?" He asks raising an eyebrow.
Judy clears her throat. "Just in case you know. Can't be too careful."
Nick raises his eyebrow higher. "Carrots, you are fast and can take down a rhino. I don't think you need it for a wolf. What's the real reason?"
Judy west her lips as she looks away a bit. "Do you trust me?"
Nick became confused at that point. "Of course I do. But I can't with you hiding things. So why do you have a tranq gun?"
Judy sighs and pulls over to the side and turns off the car. "After the whole…Bellwether case at the exhibit. Chief Bogo gave me the gun after he realized normal tranquilizer won't work. So he gave an elephant strength. The one he shot at you was horse strength."
Nick eyes her carefully. "So you had that the whole time since I've been back? The whole time?"
Judy nods slowly. "But only after the vase case. When I told him what happened, he immediately gave me the gun and this case." She said pulling out a small case from her back pocket and opens it to show four places for darts with one missing. "I'm sorry Nick. But…I think I now know what's going on."
Nick frowns as puts his glasses away. "And that is?"
Judy looks to him a bit before starting up the car. "we have to get this guy processed so let's…"
"Judy."
Judy stops at that point and slowly looks to Nick to see him almost looking worried. "Yeah…?"
Nick kept frowning. "Do you still fear us predators?" Judy opens her mouth to speak only to stop for a second. "Well?"
Judy looks to him now, worried out of her mind as she watches his eyes start to waver. "Nick, I…"
"Oh my aching head…and ass." They hear the wolf groan as he sits up in his seat and looks to them. "Ah crap."
Nick frowns to him. "You shut up and stay in your seat."
The wolf growls. "And why should I…"
Nick growls loudly as they both recoil at the sight of him with sharp pupils as he glares to the wolf. "Sit." He growls and the wolf immediately shuts up and shuts his mouth before Nick turns to Judy and sees she has loaded another dart into her gun.
Judy gulps. "Don't…" She almost whispers.
Nick keeps his teeth bared at her before he shakes his head and holds a hand to his head as Judy watches as Nick turns slowly to her and sighs and sits back into his seat. "Let's go."
Judy stares at him as his eyes are now back to normal before putting her gun onto the table between them and starts to drive off as Nick eyes her and the gun a few times while the wolf gulps at the sight of a savage fox.
Judy stares up at the large rhino wearing boxing gloves as they stood in a ring in training clothes. "Just so you know, it's better to have no gloves. You do more damage with gloves."
The rhino blinks and looks to the gloves before taking them off as they only stayed in their headgear. "You okay?"
Judy nods as she starts to hop back and forth and puts up her fists. "Yeah."
"You don't seem like it." He says looking her over and notices the ragged look. "Where's your partner?" He asks looking over to his lion partner who gives a wave.
Judy shrugs. "No idea. But he might be…"
"Fights over boys." Nick says walking in his academy training clothes.
Judy blinks as she looks at him and he climbs into the ring as the rhino gets out. "Nick…what are you doing?"
Nick sighs as he reaches into his pockets and starts to wrap some bandages around his hands. "Remember, I was out on the streets while I lived in the city. I know a thing or two." Judy looks to her own hands before some bandages landed on them. "Wraps them. Otherwise it will hurt like the dickens."
Judy looks up to him for a moment before sighing and starts to wrap her hands before tying them off and flexes her hands. "Okay. So NICK?!" She yells jumping to the side of the ring from a punch and looks to see Nick punching his fists together. "What the heck?!"
Nick turns to look at her and she sees his eye pupils waver for a second before they go back to normal. "Come on carrots. I thought you can take down pointy nose over there easy?" Nick taunts as he casually walks over.
The rhino gives a dismissive grunt as he grabs his things and walks off.
Judy huffs as she puts her fists up. "I can. It's just they can hurt themselves and I help along."
Nick smirks. "Well come on then. Try to make me hit me."
Judy glares at him as they wait at their spots before Judy takes a small step forward and Nick takes one step. "We can't fight if we stay apart."
Nick chuckles. "Well then just ran carrots. Isn't that what rabbits do Hopps?"
Judy frowns and runs up to him as Nick prepares to punch her before she immediately runs to the side and heads for the rope as Nick shakes his head before she jumps onto the rope and launches off toward him before Nick ducks and reaches up and grabs her leg before slamming her into the ground.
Nick chuckles as he steps away. "Told you. I know tricks."
Judy scoffs as she gets back up before turning to him and starts to hop back and forward again. "What are you doing Nick?"
Nick gives a sleepy smile to her. "Simple. Helping out your problems with me. If you attack me, then maybe you won't have any lingering thoughts about it."
Judy stares at him and watches as his eyes kept wavering. 'The heck? It's only supposed to be extreme emotion. He's not even moving that much and acting bored. How the heck is he changing?' Judy sighs. "Fine then. Why don't you attack me?"
Nick smirks. "You sure carrots?"
Judy nods and Nick charges and she dodges before he grabs her hand and flings her toward the rope and it makes it bend outward before she reorientates herself turns her feet toward Nick and the rope slings her back toward him before she gasps quietly as she sees the sharpness in his pupils. 'Shit.' She thinks before Nick quickly grabs her foot and slings her onto the ground before he grabs her hands and holds her down as he growls under his breath at her. 'How? It's supposed to be extreme emotions. How is this happening?' Judy thinks panicked as Nick leans down toward her until their noses were touching and she blushes hard at that. 'He's…not himself. This Nick, this fighting Nick, it's not the Nick I know. How can I…?' She stops as she remembers that savage animals were basically the animals running on their instinct now. 'Of course, but…they don't fight their mates…do they?' She thinks before Nick starts to sniff at her neck. 'That's right. Get the scent. Your scent. Come on. Snap out of it.'
Nick keeps sniffing her neck before letting his tongue hang out a little and licks at her neck and makes her yelp quietly and shiver. 'Not here Nick. Damn it.' She thinks as he keeps giving small licks on her neck. 'Okay. How did I calm her down in the exhibit? What was it? Pull his tie? Hold him down?' She was then broken out of her thoughts as gives a nibble on her neck and slowly moves down to her shoulder. 'What was…oh Nick. Okay. I won't lie. This feels so good. But…' Judy tries to frown to him. "Nick. Stop it."
Nick keeps licking at her neck before Judy tries to push up her hands and he pushes them back down hard. "Ow. Okay. Nick, enough." She says looking to him still at her neck. "Nick, look at me." she says softly and he slowly stops and turns his eyes at her. "Marking your property huh? Well not like this and not here. We will do it later." Nick slowly blinks at her and she stares back at his sharp eyes. "Come on Nick. Let me up…please?" She asks smiling a bit and Nick loosens his grip before slowly sitting up and pulling Judy along with her and into a hug at which point he starts to nuzzle her and makes her sigh.
"Dang it Nick." Judy curses as she tries to go along with the nuzzling until he finishes. 'At least his fur is soft and not as pins and needles. Quite nice actually. Wait…what the heck am I thinking?' She thinks before Nick finishes nuzzling her and pulls his head back to look at her with a slight pant. "You big lug." She says as Nick nuzzles their noses together for a bit before Judy grabs his muzzle and stops him. "Okay Fluff Tail, time to come out of it." She says and stops as she felt a heavy beat in his muzzle. 'Heartbeat is fast alright.' Judy sighs and slowly moves her hand on his muzzle down his face and slowly onto his chest. "It's okay. There's nothing here to bother us. Just calm down and we can rest easy."
Nick growls slightly louder as he wraps his arms tighter and his tail wraps around her and pulls her closer. Judy rolls her eyes as she just leans on her arm on him as he softly and slowly nuzzles her on the top of her head and sometimes gives a nibble or two to the base of her ears before he finally lays back onto the floor and drags her along with him as he closes his eyes and loosens his grip.
Judy sighs in relief as her ears land on his chest. "Finally." She says before hearing his heartbeat calm down. "About time too. Guess there is something else involved. But first…" She says to herself before trying to slowly get out from his grip before Nick suddenly tightened his arms around her and snuggles into her. Judy yelps and frowns. "Damn it Nick."
Judy stares at Nick as she watches him snore quietly before she hears the door open and looks to see Clawhauser walking in with a big gym bag and stops at the sight of them as he then drops it.
"Don't ask."
