NickXJudy

Chapter 4

The officers coughed as the smoke finally cleared and officer Mchorn had untied Judy from the chair. She quickly hopped over to Nick and gave him a hug, "oh Nick, thank goodness you're alright. I was so worried." Judy said leaning her head against the foxes chest her arms wrapped around his waist. Nick who was momenterilly surprised soon got over it and placed one paw around her waist hugging her back and a paw on her head. He smiled and was about to say something when a cough caught their attention.

Chef Bogo had approached them they pulled apart both slightly embrassed at having forgot that the other officers were there. "Officer Hopps are you alright?" He asked in concern.

Judy nodded as she turned to stand beside Nick "yes sir, I'm fine."

"Why did he take you Judy?" Bogo asked looking down at the now blushing rabbit.

"Uh...W-well...he..um." Judy stuttered unsure of how to explain sighed knowing she'd have to say it, "we actually knew each other from high school...And uh he kind of um liked me so..." Judy explained not looking at the chef.

Bogo however seemed as if he understood, "Hm, I see." He said then he turned to the other officers, "officers, I want everyone to be on the look out for this fox, no matter where you are. I want him arrested. Understood?!"

"Yes, sir!" They all replied with a nodded.

The chef nodded in response then he turned to Nick and Judy but he looked at Nick, "Wide I want you to keep close to Judy, that fox may try something like that again. I know his type."

"You can count on me, sir!" Nick nodded in agreement with a salute of his left paw.

"Okay all officers dismissed, but make sure to bring some of the boxes to the station, we have to see what's in them." Bogo ordered and a couple of officers grabbed at least two or three boxes. He also said that officers who had finished their shifts could go home, so that meant Nick and Judy.

The pair made their way back to their police car and Nick offered to drive them home. The ride home was quiet until they arrived at Nick's apartment which made Judy confused her apartment was closer than his and she hadn't realised he hadn't took the turning to her apartment building. "Uh, Nick I thought you were taking me home first?" She asked her head turning to the fox as he parked and put the hand brake on.

"Not happening carrots, you heard what the chef said. You're staying with me till that creep is behind bars. I'm not leaving you all alone at you're apartment," Nick said quite seriously and with a growl in his voice.

Judies eyes widened she felt her face getting hot, "B-but my stuff is at my apartment."

Nick shook his head "no worries carrots, we'll drop by you're apartment tomorrow before work and pick it up."

Judy sighed in defeat "fine."

The pair got out of the car and made their way into Nick's apartment which was on the third floor and his apartment was just a little bit bigger thatn Judies, it had two single beds a wardrobe and a TV which was inside the wardrobe. "Uh, now before you go inside I don't usually have guests over, so please forgive the mess." Nick nervously chuckled as he unlocked the door and opened it.

Judies eyes widened he wasn't kidding the place was a right mess, "you weren't kidding, gee Nick how do you live like this?" Judy questioned seeing clothes all lying around the room. A pile of DVDS were stacked up on the table beside his bed. A few empty wrappers of things he'd been eating in the bin and scattered around the table. He also had a bowl of blue berries sitting on top of the table

The two entered with Nick closing the door behind himself, "trust me, it isn't always like this. I just get lazy," Nick said as he began lifting a few clothes and placing them in his wardrobe. "You can have that bed Judy." He said pointing to the one on his right side.

"Thanks Nick, you sure this isn't too much trouble for you?" Judy asked as she sat on the bed.

Nick shook his head "come on carrots, you know me I can handle anything."

Judy smiled at this and Nick was finished making his place somewhat tidy but the rabbit wasn't all that bothered about it. Nick had then suggested that they watch a couple of movies before bed. Just as the second film had almost finished Nick let out a yawn as he lay full out on his bed, he briefly glanced over at his roommate who now fast asleep wrapped up in the covers he could only see her head.

The foxes eyes widened 'boy, carrots sure is cute in her sleep. hm good thing I'm thinking this, I know how much she hates that.' Nick thought to himself with a chuckle he then yawned again and switched the TV off and went to sleep himself.

...

Later into the night Judy was tossing and turning in her sleep with sweat dripping from her forehead, soon she awoke with a yelp escaping her mouth as she sat up breathing heavily. Her yelp alerted Nick who woke with a fright and grabbed his tasser gun which was on his bedside table "freeze!" he yelled half sleeping however he looked towards Judy who was still breathing heavily. "H-huh...Wha.."

"Carrots, are you alright?" Nick said getting out of bed placing his taser away back on the table.

"I-I'm alright now. Sorry I woke you." Judy said with her ear down.

Nick smirked "you have a nightmare?"

Judy nodded her ears lowered as she clutched the covers "yeah."

"Wanna talk about it?" Nick asked tenderly as he noticed how unsettled she looked.

Judy shook her head looking up at Nick, "no its alright, it WAS only a dream. Beside we're up in a couple of hours and we should get as much sleep as we can."

Nick let out a yawn as he turned to go back to bed, "guess your right. Nights carrots."

"Night Nick," Judy yawned herself and soon they both settled back into bed to were they weren't long awoken by Nick's alarm clock.

...

Meanwhile in another warehouse in the Rainforest District Zak paced back and forth half of his wolves had been arrested by the ZPD and he was only left with a couple of crocs and a few wolves. His main crocs were with him in the warehouse while the wolves once guarded the outside, "what do we do now boss? Those coppers have ceased our warehouse in Tundra town, we only have this one left and the one in the city."

Zak paused in his pacing and shook his head "ah, no matter what we have here in this warehouse and the other is more than sufficient to earn us enough cash. I'm not really bothered about that though, I'm more interested in that rabbit."

The two crocs looked at one another confusedly, "uh what's so interesting about that bunny?" One asked.

Zak sighed happily "my feelings for her have resurfaced and though I may have expressed them differently in high school, I'm going to do things differently this time. I just need her to forgive me."

The crocs both looked at one another in shock never had they heard of a fox liking a bunny. Zak glanced to a pile of boxes as in between them was a animal all cloaked in black leaning against them. Zak coughed which got the animals attention "Ace, I require your assistance."

A pair of blue eyes opened in the shadows and out from them came a tall mean looking male bunny with black scruffy fur wearing a ragged scarf round his neck and he chewed on a match stick, when he worked he wore a ninja outift. "This better be good." He said folding his paws.

Zak showed him a picture of a female rabbit "I take it, you might remember Judy Hopps?"

Ace smirked when he looked at the picture "Hopps, I've never forgotten her. What do you need me to do?"

Zak gave him the picture "bring her to me."

Ace nodded and made his way out looking at the picture "well, this'll be fun." He muttered as he grabbed his ninja outfit and headed out the warehouse.
