Chapter 7: Interaction Methods (Warning! Fighting. Can be graphic for some readers.)

Nick got back to HQ. Meeting up with Judy as she was talking to Clawhouser and another cheetah? Nick walked up to the three. Wondering who the new guy was.

"Hey Judy, Clawhouser." He said and waved a small bit. "Who is the new guy?" He asked and pointed to the new cheetah that stood behind Clawhouser. The cheetah was a lot more fit than his counterpart. Muscles that evened all over his body. Basically what a cheetah should be. He had a pretty mild expression as he stood there. An expression that would tell you he was serious, but also can joke a little.

"Oh this is my cousin Jassut. He is from the lower half of Sahara Square District. The Czetch section." Clawhouser explained as he waved at Nick.

"So is he a new recruit?" Nick asked as Clawhouser nodded his head.

"Yep. Since things have gotten so busy here lately. Chief Bogo requested another desk helper. So I called Jassut up. Just got in today. His last day at the academy was a week ago. " Jassut didn't say anything as he stood behind Clawhouser. Listening to him talk.

"Ah well nice to meet you Jassut. Names Nick, Nick Wilde." Nick held out his paw to him. Which Jassut took and lightly shook it.

"Nice to meet you Nick Wilde. Clawhouser has been giving me the rundown of the desk here." Jassut's voice was a calmly mild one. Like his expression. Nick smiled as he nodded.

"Ya, well me and Judy have to get to roll-call. See around you two." He said as he motioned the bunny along. The two walking down the hallway leading to the roll-call room. Also known as the briefing room. The two walked in as some other cops where already there. Sitting around talking with each other or sitting by themselves. Trying to wake up. Judy took their seat as they jumped up onto it. After another couple minutes the place was packed and loud. Then Bogo came in and told everyone to shut up and sit down. After naming off officers and handing them a file. He got to his last two. Like he always did. Nick and Judy sat there as they waited for what he was going to say.

"Well I know you two really need a small break, and after what I saw last night I think I need one too. So I'm just giving you guys an area to patrol. Around the city. That is all." He said as he handed them a file and left.

"Well Carrots. Let's get started." Wilde got off the seat. Followed by Judy. The two walking out of the room and to their squad car.

"We still have a case to do." Judy complained as she got in the car. Nick chuckling as he did as well.

"Well. You know we need a break. We can pick it back up when Vixle gets out of the hospital." Nick started the car and headed out of the parking lot.

Back at the hospital

Vixle POV

I lay in this god forsaken bed as I looked through my phone. Finding the next song I wanted and pressing on the screen. Playing Shook Ones Pt 2 by Mobb Deep. It hadn't even been an hour since that little orange fur guy Nick left me here. What he said was spinning around in my head as I lay there. To sore to even sit up. I hated it as I felt old. Being only 24 I felt like I was in my 60s. I looked around as I tried to find something to do. Shit if I found a fucking bendy straw I would have so much fun with that. But the only thing that seemed to be in reach was a "Get Well" card that Nick put next to me. Deciding I had nothing better to do I reached over and slowly picked it up. God this sucked. It wasn't like I feel out of the SUV. I just had a bad cut and a fucking drug flower. I opened the card as it was written in cursive. Shit. I tried to read it the best I could, but only figured out the key words. Like we hope you are ok or get well soon. All that smoochy shit. I set the card down by me side. Sighing as it was boring as hell. I wanted to get up and go do something. Was never one to stay still, but my body rejected that as even moving that card hurt. I closed my eyes to try to sleep away the time, but after I few minutes I gave up. Knowing I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon.

"Fuck." I mumbled to myself. My phone started to vibrate as I picked it up to see it was an unknown number. I answered it and said hello. My voice sounding weak and horsed.

"Oh god you sound awful." I heard the oh familiar bunny say on the other end.

"Hey Judy. And thanks. That's a real self-booster." I say as I could hear her chuckle.

"Ah well I do deserve to do that. Because I'm not the one who didn't help me sleep last night." I groaned after she said that.

"Hey about that. They said I had Night Howler in me. The fuck is that?" I asked as I wanted an answer on that.

"Well I can give you the long story, or the short story." I looked over at the clock above the door. Seeing it read 9:22. "Long version. I got time." After that I was sitting back listing to this bunny talk about the Night Howler case. How she hustled Nick into helping her. All the way to how she solved the case with his help. By the time she was done it was only 9:44. Fucking rabbit. Didn't talk slow enough. I decided to ask the question that was on my mind. Since I didn't have anything else to do.

"So I eat this flower and I become wild and violent? Then why didn't I attack you?" I asked as I could hear her sigh on the other side.

"I'm not sure really. Even the doctors don't know." I guess that was a question that wasn't going to get an answer anytime soon.

"Well me and Nick are on patrol now. I just wanted to call to see how you are doing." I could hear Nick say something as I figured he was driving.

"I still feel like shit, but other than that I'm fine." I said as Judy giggled on the other side.

"Alright, well get some rest. We will come visit after work. Alright?" Before I could answer she hung up. Sighing I set the phone back down next to me. Now left alone with my thoughts again.

"What to do." I said to myself as I whistled. Looking around the room as there was jack fucking shit to do. I mean I could call in one of the nurses and try to hit on them, but talking hurt like I said before. So that was a no for now. I sighed, knowing I had to come to grips with reality. I was stuck here till I healed enough to get out. So I laid back more and decided to rest my eyes. God this was going to be fucking hard.

Nick and Judy sat in the squad car. Watching as others passed by them. Looking and listening for anything out of the ordinary. Nick looked over at Judy as she was looking out the window. Seeming to look for anything like he was just doing.

"So, you seem to not be afraid of Vixle anymore." He said as Judy nodded.

"Well. It wasn't his fault really. He had Night Howler in him. Making him do all…all he did." She shuddered as she remembered the scene.

"You want my option on it?" Judy nodded for him to tell. "I think he could do it all along, just the Night Howler made him show it." Nick looked back out the window as he talked. Judy doing the same.

"You might be right. The Night Howlers never have made contact with humans till now." Nick looked over at her. Nodding and then sighing.

"It's scary. If you think about it, he could have killed us, but didn't." The both of them shivered at the thought.

"Ya. Ya he could of." Judy went straight up as her ears followed a loud noise. Seeing a weasel running away from a fruit store. with an orange back. He got in a car and drove off. "But let's drop this and get this crook." She said as Nick put his shades on and floored it. Judy pushing the sirens on and giving chase. Another day on the force.

A few days later

Vixle was being wheeling out of the hospital by a giraffe nurse. Followed by Nick and Judy.

"Thank god I'm out." He said as stood up. Holding his side that he got cut on. Smiling like a teen kid seeing his first pictures of naked women.

"Alright calm down now. You still are injured." Judy said as she walked by him. Motioning for him and Nick to go to the car. Which they did as he got in the back of the squad car. Nick getting in the passenger seat. Judy starting up the car and driving back to HQ. Reaching the building within minutes.

"Why are we at the police station?" Asked Vix as he got out.

"You know LaClaw? Well we have been trying to get him to talk. And he hasn't said anything. He also thinks you are dead. Cause we told him you were in critical condition." Nick said as the three walked through the rotating glass doors. Some cops looking at Vixle and then looking away a second later.

"Seems like I'm unwanted here." Vixle whispered to Judy and Nick. Who nodded a bit.

"Well you did kill 9 tigers. We have photos of what happened to the SUV that fell off the road." Judy shuddered as she remembered what the mangled SUV looked like in the picture.

"Wouldn't mind seeing those." He said as Nick and Judy sighed. Well He hasn't changed his dark humor.

"Well he is in the waiting room. Now take it easy in there. You are still hurt." Judy said as Vix waved her off.

"Don't worry bunny butt. I got this." Nick chuckled and opened the door for him.

"Oh shit. You stay awake from me!" You could hear LaClaw say as Vixle chuckled.

"Oh sorry. You didn't miss me baby? I figured you would be happy to see me not dead." Vixle said as he kicked the table. The other end sliding over and hitting LaClaw in the gut.

"Here. I'm not feeling the best. Due to the claw that sliced me. So we can either have a nice calm conversation. You tell me everything. Answer any questions I have, or you can be difficult and we can do it the hard way." LaClaw was scared shitless. But he was not going to say anything. This guy wouldn't kill him. He was to valuable right?

Outside of the room. The one way window a group of police officers had gathered. Including Bogo. The group watching Vixle talk to him.

"Ok. No answer. Here how about this. I going to ask you a question. And you give me an answer. And you will have five seconds to answer. Now, who is in charge of the underground sex ring?" He asked as LaClaw was staying quite. "Alright." Vixle walked over to him. Looking down at him with a cocky smile. Then in a flash he had slammed LaClaw's face into the table. Making him yell in pain. Then holding his nose as Vixle stood over him.

"You got five seconds to answer." He said as LaClaw was not talking. Not yet anyway. Shrugging Vixle sucker punched him. Connecting his fist into the tiger's jaw. Making him fall out of his chair. Grabbing him by his tail he folded the metal chair with his open arm. Then slamming it down sideways onto the tiger's tail. Making him howl. The cops who were watching that had tails held them close. Including Nick.

"Come on. It's a simple fucking question. Who runs the sex ring!" LaClaw whimpered as he tried to crawl away. Vixle pushing his shoe into the now bent part of his tail. Making him stop moving and howl again. Grabbing his prisoner orange shirt and lifting and throwing him over the metal table. Vixle was surprised he could do that. Being the tiger was pretty heavy. He walked around the table as LaClaw laid there. Holding his tail and face. Vixle stepped back and kicked him in the stomach. Making him spit up a bit of blood. "Come on tell me." Vix said calmly as he knelt down to him.

"His name…his name is James…James Paller." Vixle nodded as he stood up.

"Now. Does he run the fight club as well? Or is that someone else?" He asked as LaClaw slowly went to stand up. After five seconds Vixle came over after picking up the chair. Hitting him hard in the back. Howling and crying. LaClaw fell down as Vixle grabbed his head fur and dragged him to the back of the room. Slamming his head on the back wall. "TELL ME LACLAW!" He gripped his shirt in his two hands hard and he shoved his face closer to him.

"He is gonna kill him!" Judy yelled from the other side. The officers watching at how Vixle got answers out of him. Bogo standing there with his iron stare.

"He won't kill him Hopps. Just let him do it. If we send anyone in there right now, he will attack them as well." Bogo said as the officers nodded. The group jumped back a bit as LaClaw had just hit the window. Vixle yelling to tell him the answer and saying something about the other cops that were watching. Some blood getting on the window as Vixle pulled him away and slamming him down on the table.

"Ok. Ok. No he doesn't run the fight club. Someone else does." LaClaw said as blood spilled from his nose and some out of his mouth. Vixle nodded as he cracked his knuckles.

"What is his name?" He asked as LaClaw looked up at him, but sadly he didn't tell him in time as Vixle picked him up and punched him in the face. Then kicking him in his jewels. Which made him collapse and fall down. Holding his balls as he cried. "The name." Vix said sternly as LaClaw looked up at him.

"Mikey Wissler." He managed to say as Vixle nodded.

"Alright. Well can you tell me where I can find them? Or do I have to beat that out of you too?" LaClaw shook his head no as he told him they could be found at Fire Bond. In Sahara Square, and Polar Pees's in Tundra Town. "Thank you LaClaw. You have been a great help." Vixle started to walk to the door.

"I'm going to sue you. Police can't do this." He said as he laid there on the cold floor.

"Hehe. Well you see. I'm not a cop." With that he laughed and opened the door. Greeted by two officers who slipped passed him to get LaClaw to a hospital. He turned to see the other officers standing there.

"Enjoy the show?" He asked them as he leaned on a wall. Holding his side.

"Vixle, that was…way overboard." Nick said as the others nodded. Bogo as well. Only doing a nod in agreement.

"I got him to talk right? So no problem here." Vix said as he smirked.

"He has a point. We have two suspects now. And their locations." Judy said as her ears were flat. Trying to talk calmly after seeing what she seen.

"See. Boom best helper." Vixle said and patted himself on his back. Turning around as he walked down the hallway.

"God help us." Bogo said as the others nodded. Looking over to the window to see LaClaw being held by the two wolf officers that had one arm over their shoulders. Carrying him out as his feet dragged on the floor.
