This takes place five weeks after the shower scene, back in the present.

Judy sighed. She had worked nonstop at her computer for the past 4 hours. She was on a lead on Nick's brother when it suddenly went cold. There was a piece to the puzzle that they were missing. She had pulled every string she could. She even went to Mr. Big and the Tundratown mafia. Mr. Big told her if any of his "business partners" got any information that would be useful, he would personally deliver it. Her phone began to buzz. She reached for her phone. She reached for it and saw that it was a MuzzleTime call from an unknown number. She glanced around the room. The only one who was there was Nick. She breathed out heavily. She answered the call. Before the two rodents got the chance to speak, Judy chipped in,

"Me and Nick are alone, but we don't know for how long," Judy said, gathering a curious look from Nick.

"Then we'll do this quickly," Mr. Big replied, "Sorry I couldn't be there, Judy. Family issue came up." Mr. Big gathered a look from a small toddler. "Not you Judy, that Judy." Mr. Big pointed towards the phone. Judy waved. The toddler waved back.

"She's the most adorable thing, Fru Fru. She's such a cutie," Judy said.

"Thank you," Fru Fru said. "Go ahead, daddy."

"We have pictures of Wilde and an unknown fox buying weapons from my, ahem, 'business partners'. A sharp serrated knife stained in blood is visible in his back pocket. Show them the next picture, Kevin," Mr. Big told his bodyguard. I think this is the one where the other fox shows his face. I don't know who he is, b-"

"I do," Nick said, crushing the styrofoam coffee cup in his hand. "That's my loving and caring father."

"Anything else?" Judy asked.

"Actually, my driver followed them back to their place. He got a picture of the lot and house nu-" Mr. Big responded.

Nick cut him off. "When were these taken?!" Nick asked, worriedly. He was gathering his things. Judy figured she should, too.

"I called once I got them. Maybe 30 minutes ago. Why?" Mr. Big asked.

"That's my mother's house. That's why!" Nick said, running off.

"I guess this means I have to go," Judy said. "Bye guys." Judy heard two goodbyes and a giggle from Judy. She turned off her phone. She sprinted to catch up with Nick. He was already in the parking lot. The second Judy was in the car, Nick slammed on the gas and got them on their way. Judy hit the siren button as Nick swerved in and out of traffic. Judy had realized Nick left his gun in his office, she grabbed it and handed it to Nick.

"Thanks," was all Nick said. He was extremely focused. Nick slammed on his horn several times trying to get people out of his way. The drive was a fifteen minute drive normally without traffic. Nick managed to get them there in less than 5. Granted, he almost rear-ended one car, but nobody got hurt. They pulled up to Nick's mom's house. They pulled their pistols and went to the front door. The door was partially open and the lock was broken. The door had been kicked in.

"Mom?!" Nick called, alarmed. Her car was in the driveway. Then Judy heard voices. Two. On the second floor.

"What's above the living room?" Judy whispered.

"The master bedroom," Nick whispered back. Nick quietly walked up the stairs. He and Judy got on either side of the door. Nick counted from 3… 2… 1… Judy broke down the door and her lightning reflexes saved her life as she ducked and the thrown blade just nicked her ear. She put a bullet in the younger fox's forehead. The older fox pumped a shotgun and pointed it at Judy. Nick came around the corner and put several bullets into the older fox's chest. He was dead before he hit the ground. Then Nick turned to his mother. Her neck was broken, her throat was slit, she was gagged, all four limbs had several cuts on them, and had each of her limbs were tied to the chair.

In the back of an ambulance, Nick prayed that she went quickly, but in the bottom of his heart, he knew that wasn't true. They had tortured her and killed her. In cold blood. They wanted to see Nick suffer. Nick yelled, louder than he had ever yelled. Tears were streaming down his face and everyone was staring at him, but he didn't care. Everyone he loved in his life, besides Judy, was gone. He sobbed and sobbed, his fiancée's arm around him as she too was crying silently while the paramedic, a cheetah named Melinda, patched Judy's ear up. When she was done, she left silently, to leave the two alone. Chief Bogo walked quietly up to them.

"Judy, do you have a minute? We need to establish a timeline." Judy made up a story for how they got the information and then she explained what happened in the house. Bogo thanked her and let her go back to Nick. Nick had a fire blazing in his eyes. He was purely angry at his brother and his father. How could they do this to him?

A few minutes later, Bogo strolled over to Nick and Judy. It was well past midnight now, but neither were tired. Bogo stood in front of them. "Well, Wilde. I lost both my parents. My brother killed them both. I had to put him down myself. I only wanted revenge, so I'm assuming you do too."

"Will all due respect, why are you telling me this, Chief?" Nick asked. Bogo handed Nick a rifle.

"You have a chance to get revenge. We can take down your brother's gang. You, Judy, Fangmire, and Delgato are the only ones small enough to fit into the facility, so we are going to stealth it. That's what the rifle's for. High power, suppressed, electric scope, bipod, armor piercing rounds, semiauto, you name it. We have permission to use a conference room on the 22nd floor of the Grand Palm Hotel and Casino. That's where you will be, Wilde. You take the outside guards. The others get the ones inside. The likelihood of things going loud is not bad, but it isn't good. That's why we have paramedics on standby. The entire Zpd will either be on standby or watching you four from back at HQ. Now is our opening. We cannot lose this opportunity. Good luck, officers.

Nick was driving the cruiser, taking everyone down to the Grand Palm Hotel. Nobody said a word. That's where everyone would gear up. The parking lot was full, but Nick pulled into a reserved spot in between two other cruisers. Everyone got out and Judy put her paw on Nick's shoulder. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I am. Let's get these bastards," Nick said turning away. Nick tried to hide it, but he was crying. He quickly wiped the tears away. He lived by his motto 'Never let them see they get to you.' Nick got some weird looks when he carried the rifle through the lobby, but he didn't care. He, Judy, Delgato and Fangmire all rode the elevator up to the 22nd floor. When Nick walked into the room, he immediately figured out where to set up. Then, they carefully removed the window. The rifle wouldn't shoot over the lip, so all 10 mammals grunted and hauled the massive meeting table towards the edge of the room. Nick set up shop on top of the table. He told Judy to dim the lights, and she did. Nick's night vision helped a lot, so he wouldn't gain attention of the enemy snipers. Nick studied. Their movements. Learned the pattern. By the time he learned it, he was alone in the room. We're in position. Nick, on your shot. Nick breathed in and out and in and out and in halfway. The rifle may not sound it, but it felt powerful. It was a two hundred yard shot, but it was executed with deadly accuracy. An enemy sniper was dropped dead in his tracks. When Nick dropped the first sniper, the other three moved in. Nick heard over the comms,

"Wilde, there's a switch on the side to the scope to turn it thermal. Just in case you need it," Bogo said.

"Thanks, Chief. I'll keep that in mind," Nick replied. The cycle of breathing in and out went on as he took out the remaining snipers. Over the comms, he heard Fangmire ask "Are we clear to take this one out?"

"Yes, but there will be a fox who patrols around that corner in… 15 seconds, so be ready," Nick replied.

Sure enough, a fox came around the corner 15 seconds later. Judy quickly put one in his forehead. Then Judy heard it. It was the heavy banging of metal, but it sounded like footsteps. Then came a Rhino, covered in a metal suit. It was 20 yards from the corner they were hiding behind. "Umm, Nick," Judy squeaked. "Help."

"I don't see an Achilles heel, here. You guys see anything?" Nick replied.

"That's an inch thick, Wilde. Don't even think about trying to take that down. You-" Bogo told Nick.

"Sorry to interrupt, but look at his neck. He can turn his head, which means that it's not metal on his neck," Judy said. The rhino was only 10 yards from them.

"It's still a small target," Nick replied.

"Well, if this is your only plan besides aiming for the eye socket," Judy replied back, alarmed.

"Well, McHorn just informed me that even if Wilde hits that shot, it won't bring him down, so we either aim for the eye s-" Bogo said.

"With all do respect Chief, shut the fuck up! I don't need you guys yapping in my ear while I try to make this shot," Nick almost yelled. Nick breathed in, and out. In and out. In halfway. Judy watched around the corner as a rhinoceros covered in metal fell into their view, hitting the ground face first. Cheering filled their ears as everyone in the Zpd just watched the most accurate shot in all of Zpd history just hit it's target. Nick let the air out of his lungs. He had just made the shot. He laughed. The shock hadn't hit him yet. Most of the exterior was clear, except for the alley between the building and the corner of the lot it was snugged into. Judy and Fangmire took point on one door while Delgato took the other. Delgato picked his lock quite quickly while Fangmire struggled with his before Judy just told him to step aside and Judy did it in 15 seconds. Nick turned on his thermal and looked in the window. "I count 6, but I can't see the entire building."

"I count seven. And a whole bunch of, is this cocain?" Delgato asked himself.

"Yes, it is," Judy answered. "I believe there are 20 palettes of this stuff. There's easily a billion dollars of this stuff in here."

"Well, Chief. We got ourselves the most accurate shot in Zpd history and the biggest drug bust in Zpd history. I say, we take out these bastards and call it a day. Calling all units. Calling all units. Get in here. Permission to go loud, Chief?" Fangmire asked.

"Permission granted. All units. Form in on the building. Have the surrounded. They can't run. Soon, Nick was the only officer not at the Zpd or surrounding the building. He had been put on sniper duty. The garage door began to open, revealing two Rhinos, but Nick popped one almost immediately and the other soon followed. Nick was so pleased with himself, he didn't notice the shadowy figure standing in the doorway. He turned around only to be tackled by the figure. Nick, Fangmire, and Delgato were on their way up to the 22nd floor when they heard it. It came from the comms. It was a blood curdling scream of pain. Then more followed. One more followed when the doors opened, but that one didn't come from the comms. It came from down the hall. Judy sprinted down the hallway and skidded to a stop in front of the open door. Judy saw a figure standing over Nick, holding Nick's rifle. Judy yelled "Stop, Zpd!" That's when she received a bullet to the upper right chest. She was thrown against the wall. She then slipped unconscious.

Judy gained and lost consciousness repeatedly during the car ride. The only reason they took a police cruiser to the hospital was because there was only one ambulance on sight, and that was being used to transport Nick. When she regained consciousness for the second time, she realized Bogo was driving with McHorn riding shotgun. Delgato was in the back, preventing her from bleeding out.

"She's going to be so upset when she hears about Nick," Delgato said. Bogo hit a bump. Judy yelled out in pain.

"Sorry, Sorry," Chief said, apologetically. He was trying to be careful but also fast. The ambulance was 15 yards ahead of them. Then Judy slipped out of consciousness again.

This time, Judy was being rushed into the hospital by McHorn. The other two were holding the door for them. The reception wolf quickly ran and got a bed for her. "Is this Judith Laverne Hopps?" The reception wolf asked.

"Yes. One week until Wilde," McHorn said.

"Blood type?" the wolf asked.

"Umm…" all three answered. Judy's voice failed her, so she got the wolf's attention. She started doing Morse Code on the wall of the bed.

"Hey, she's doing Morse Code. I don't know it, but you guys should know, right?" the wolf asked.

"Yeah. McHorn I'll listen, you translate," Delgato said. He listened. "Dash, dot, dot, dot. Dash, dot."

"BN. B-Negative," McHorn said. Judy looked relieved. She slipped unconscious again. When she woke up, she felt extremely groggy. She looked around the room she was in. Judy studied the two faces in the corner of the room. Judy's mom had her head on Judy's father's shoulder. She was sleeping. Her dad was reading a magazine, trying not to disturb his wife. Judy tried to say mom and dad, but nothing came out. She looked at he bedside table. There was a pot of lavender flowers at her bedside. Then she saw a notepad and a pen. She crumpled a piece of paper. Her dad didn't notice. Judy threw the piece of paper. It hit him in the nose. He looked up and shook his wife.

"Bonnie?" Stu asked his wife. She looked up at him.

"What time is it?" Bonnie asked.

"1:47 in the afternoon, but look who's awake," Stu said, pointing at Judy.

"Judy!" Bonnie exclaimed, running over to her daughter. Judy hugged her mother and then her father. Stu explained that 1 of her lungs collapsed completely and the other partially, so she would have a hard time talking.

Judy started writing on the notepad. She asked her parents how long she was out.

"Two days, Jude," her father replied. She was slightly shocked, but not horribly. The next question was two simple words, but it had a complex answer. She asked 'How's Nick?'

"He wants to explain everything once he wakes up," Bonnie said.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I need to fix your collapsed lungs, Miss Hopps. Mr. and Mrs. Hopps, you may want to leave, but it is your choice," a doctor said, entering a room.

"Do you want us to stay?" Stu asked. Judy shook her head. She knew how the reinflation would go. Judy's parents left the room. The tiger pulled out two syringes. Judy winced. Judy could deal with almost anything. But needles, she absolutely dreaded. The one that was filled with a liquid, he put it in the IV. Judy felt her entire body go numb.

"Alright miss Hopps. This will probably sting. Judy looked down at the syringe. It stung a little going in, but she was more amazed on how the tiger pulled the back of the syringe and nothing came out. He did this repeatedly on one side and moved to the other. She could tell she was breathing easier. 15 minutes later, Judy was breathing fine and was able to speak normally. The doctor cleared her to leave and left the room. Her parents walked back in.

"How was it?" Stu asked.

"About as good as having a needle stuck in you chest several times goes," Judy replied. "But I am cleared. So we can g-"

"Miss Hopps, he's awake. Mr. Wilde is asking for you," A nurse said, rushing into the room. "Mr. and Mrs. Hopps, he asked for you two as well."

"Shall we?" Stu asked, holding the door open for Judy. They walked all the way to the other side of the building. They found Nick's room. Judy breathed deeply and opened the door with her arm not in a sling. Nick had a doctor talking to him, a lion. Nick saw Judy enter and asked the doctor, "Doc, do you mind if we finish this conversation later? I kind of need to explain my injuries to my fiancée."

"Sure. Call for me when you're done," he said. "Officer Hopps," he said as he went past her.

"Nick!" Judy said as she jumped up on the bed and hugged him. But something felt weird about his hug. She pulled herself next to Nick, and traced her hand down his right arm, in search for his hand. She figured it'd be best if she held his hand. But she couldn't. She traced the arm down to the elbow, kept tracing it, felt some bandages, and it just ended. His arm he'd been amputated just below the elbow. She looked worriedly at Nick. He just said,

"So I'm Hand Solo, now," Nick said.

Judy just said, "Please, Nick. This is not the time or place to be making Ham Solo jokes. This is serious."

"Well, it sounds better than 'I was shot point blank range with a semi auto sniper rifle with armor piercing rounds 5 times in the lower right arm," Nick joked. Judy sighed. Even after he got his arm amputated, Nick still had a fun twist on life. Judy liked that. Next thing she knew, Judy had fallen asleep in Nick's arm.
