The two sat on the bench as Nick finished rubbing the cheese off his shirt.

"That's as good as it's gonna get, So about Emmitt; you have any leads?" Nick asked pitching the dirty napkins in the trash as Judy sighed.

"Nothing, I know he has a family and works as a florist, but besides that nothing" Judy replied as Nick stood up.

"Well, we know he works as a florist so why not check out his store; maybe find something" Nick proposed as Judy looked at him.

"Don't tell me how to do my job" Judy replied getting off the bench as Nick looked at her.

"You want my advice or not?" Nick asked walking alongside her as she pouted.

"Okay, but because I feel it's the best lead...Not because you told me to" Judy replied as the walked down the sidewalk.

"You are so defensive" Nick replied as the two made their way downtown coming to the flower shop as Judy jiggled the knob.

"Great it's locked" Judy stated slamming her paw on the wooden door feeling the challenge, her only lead being blocking as she felt a tapping on her shoulder. Judy turned to focus on Nick.

"Let me try," Nick said asked jiggling the knob, pushing the door open Judy jumped from the sound.

"It was just stuck," Nick said holding the door open for her as she looked at him not saying a word. Nick closed the door behind him hiding the busted lock. The two took a while looking around the store. It was fairly small at the walls were lined with plants as they approached the counter

"We could probably look thru his paperwork thru the past month, might give us something to work with" Judy stated.

"Wait, Is breaking into his store even legal, Don't you need a warrant for that kind of stuff?" Nick asked as Judy looked around.

"Well I did see a shifty character enter this building, so If I was to enter after him there would be no problem" Judy replied opening his desk looking thru papers.

"Glad to help," Nick said sarcastically.

"So how do you know this Emmitt character?" Judy asked trying to make conversation as she looked around the desk as Nick sat on a chair.

"We were friends, my mom loved flowers and used to come here a lot, she'd drag me along" Nick replied hearing Judy shuffle thru the papers.

Nick was thinking about when his mom used to take him to the flower store. Nick was around eight when his mother entered Otterton flowers with Nick. Nick sat in the chair looking at the plants as Mrs. Wilde talked with Mr. Otterton.

"Morning Joesph, anything new in stock? Mrs. Wilde asked as the old Otter looked around.

"Actually Francine I Just got something I think you might like," Joseph said holding out a bag of seeds.

"They would look great in your garden," Mr. Otterton said looking down at Nick.

"Hello Nicholas, Emmitt is in the back if you want to see him," Mr. Otterton said as Nick opened the door to the back where Emmitt was trimming a plant.

"Hey, Emmet" Nick called out startling Emmitt as he miscut the plant. Emmet snipped again fixing the pattern as he turned seeing the fox

"Nick, it's been a while. word around school was you beat up Brett" Emmitt said interested as Nick shrugged watching Emmet cut the plant.

"He had it coming, I'll never understand why he does whatever Micheal says" Nick stated as Emmitt smiled setting his plant down on the shelf.

After getting beat up by a fox he'll never be able to live that down, Vivian told me about the whole ordeal" Emmitt explained.

"Wait you know Vivian" Nick stated confused as Emmitt nodded.

"Her mother frequents the Naturalist club my folks attend, she a nice girl" Emmet stated as Nick smiled.

"Wait I thought she was new in the city" Nick stated.

"She just started school but lived in the city for a month, I don't know her that well but we've met" Emmitt explained.

"What can you tell me about Emmitt, any ideas to why he would just vanish?" Judy asked snapping Nick back to reality as he saw her pulling a file looking thru it showing clients as Nick sighed.

"I Told you, I don't know, and honestly I have no idea, he was happily married with a loving family, had a good business, not the kind of mammal to have any enemies" Nick replied as Judy sighed putting the folder back.

"Anything useful?" Nick asked sitting down as Judy kept looking thru the contents of his desk as she sighed.

"Nothing of use" Judy replied as Nick noticed a card on the chair picking it up as Judy noticed snapping the gesturing for Nick to hand her the card

"It's a membership card to the Zootopia Naturalist club" Judy replied confused handing the card.

"Emmitt frequented that place, every week. maybe they might have some info" Nick claimed as Judy closed the desk door in defeat.

"It's our best lead" Judy replied as the two walked down the sidewalk. Judy put her hands behind her head.

"An hour of searching and only a card" Judy stated checking her watch.

"45 hours left" Judy replied as Nick turned to her.

"Why are you on a clock, most officers don't have to risk their jobs like this?" Nick asked walking alongside her as Judy sighed.

"I may have disobeyed orders from the chief by saying I would take this case. I'm honestly surprised he did not just fire me on the spot" Judy admitted rubbing her shoulder as Nick chuckled.

"Sounds like someone's hothead got them in deep trouble" Nick chuckled as Judy glared at him.

"Shut up... we are not friends" Judy established as Nick smiled nudging her shoulder.

'Yeah I know, You would not waste a second with me unless it helped your..case" Nick stated as Judy pouted.

"You Betrayed me first, I was willing to be your friend" Judy admitted as Nick smiled.

"Sure you were" Nick replied as the two of them came to a building. the two sat on the bunch rubbing their feet.

"In hindsight, why didn't we take that cute little kart you had" Nick stated as Judy stated.

"Whoa, you can't exactly use that word" Judy replied in defense as Nick looked at her confused.

"You can't call rabbits cute, it's offensive" Judy explained as Nick looked at her.

"I wasn't, I was calling your kart cute, and asking why we didn't take it" Nick explained.

"Because it can't fit two mammals, especially one of your size" Judy replied as Nick smirked.

"Now who's being offensive" Nick replied as Judy puffed her cheeks.

"Shut up, we're here," Judy replied as she finished rubbing her feet.

"Okay, here it is, Zootopia Naturalist Club" Nick stated as the two entered the building which had a tropical look to it.

"Got to admit the scenery looks nice" Judy admitted looking at the stone floor it the room. the wall was surrounded with beaded rope having a 70's vibe to it.

"There's the owner, we can talk to him" Nick stated pointing to a yak behind the counter.

Excuse us sir" Judy asked as the Yak looked down at his hair in braids.

"What can I do for you little dudette" He replied giving off an odor as Judy held her nose.

"I was just wondering if you've seen this mammal recently" Judy stated handing a picture to the Yak as he moved the hair from his eyes.

"Yeah, I've seen him" The yak replied.
