Everyone at the table looked at Bonnie with wide eyes. They did not expect such forwardness from any of Judy's parents. Aaron and Nick did not know what to think about it. They have been just invited to go down to Bunnyburrow, where they would probably see more bunnies than they ever imagined they would, and they kind of got scared thinking about what those bunnies' reactions will be.

''Hon, you sure that's a good idea?" leaned in Stu and whispered into his wife's ear. Bonnie just rolled her eyes, and smiled at the others expectantly. The canines were at a loss of ideas, so they looked at Judy for some guidance.

Judy thought about what would happen if she brought down a wolf and a fox to the burrows. She had no idea what her siblings' reaction would be like, considering that most of said siblings haven't seen any mammals other than bunnies. And to top it off, she would be bringing two predators down, heck, one is like 4 times taller than a normal teenage bunny.

Now that she thinks about it, it would be hilarious to see their wide-eyed shock, or better, seeing them run like their lives were really in danger. She giggled at the thought of recording it, and using it as blackmail material. Then she realized that she has some very flirty sisters, who would definitely try to hit on both of them. Imagining the canines being so uncomfortable at the sudden attention by her vampire sisters finally decided the matter for her.

''Sure, mom. It will be fun seeing Clara, Bethany and the girls in 'action'." Replied Judy with a wiggle of her eyebrows. Bonnie chuckled, knowing what her daughter meant by that, thus increasing the confusion of the clueless canines, but they nodded aswell.

Ignorance is Bliss

Stu in the mean time was confused about what her daughter meant and why was Bonnie inviting two predators to the Burrows.

What does she mean by Clara and Betha-

Then it dawned on him. He knew exactly what are those group of daughters are famous for. At the image of them getting all pawsy and frisky with two dangerous predators made his mind go shut down and he fainted.

The canines looked at the buck in shock. If they couldn't comprehend what was going on before, now they were really clueless. They were about to get up and help the buck when they saw Judy laughing and Bonnie facepalming herself in embarrassment, like it was an everyday occurance.

Is this really that normal? Do bunnies seriously faint out of nowhere?

''Should we do something about him?" asked Aaron in confusion.

''Oh, don't worry about that, he does that when something ridiculous happens or thinks about something unbelievable and it is usually connected to his children. He will wake up in 5 minutes or until he gets some water thrown at him." Explained Bonnie with a heavy sigh. Sometimes her husband doesn't help contradicting the emotional bunny stereotype.

Suddenly Aaron's phone vibrated. He took it out and looked at the notification. He became wide-eyed in fear and audibly gulped when he read the message.

Sweetie, I'm gonna come over for a dinner tonight. Love, mom"

He glanced at the clock of his phone. It read 18:37. His mother usually comes to have a dinner at 21:00, so if he did not go now, he would be late. He once made a mistake of forgetting about his mom coming over, and that did not end well.

''Uh-oh, sorry guys and gals, i have to go, I have an emergency at home." mumbled Aaron while rushing out of the kitchen. He did not like to lie to his friends, but it wasn't technically a lie, because if he doesn't get home and cook something, there will be an emergency.

Then he suddenly stopped, and rushed back. He trapped Judy in a tight hug, thanked her for letting him stay over and helping him. Then he went over to Nick and planted a kiss on his cheek and stroke his tail, making the fox go blank by pleasure.

He then walked over to Bonnie, who was fanning her fainted husband on the ground.

''Mrs. Hopps''

''Oh sweatie, call me Bonnie." Cut in the older doe with a warm smile.

''Bonnie, Thank you for basically everything, you were a real help in reassuring me, and if Nick finally gets real and shows me your list, we will start trying out the stuff on it, even if I have to dress like a bunny. Whatever happens, I will make sure to call you about how it goes. About the trip, I will see what I can do in order to be able to visit you, but I don't know when will I get more day offs from the chief." Said sincerely Aaron. The older doe hugged the lupine and nodded politely.

After that, him and Judy exchanged numbers. Judy had to give him Nick's number too, since the fox was still looking like a lovesick idiot and wasn't responding. Then he quickly rushed out and closed the door.

After that the only sound was Stu stirring and mumbling incoherently in his sleep.

''Nice Wolf, but I suspect there is more to him than what he shows, right?" asked Bonnie looking at her daughter and the fox.

''You don't know the half of it." said Nick, finally breaking out of his dreamy state.


The next day, Aaron insisted that he was at 100% now, and that they could go back to work, much to Judy's happiness. They remembered that they had to go in sooner, since the chief expected them before briefing. They agreed on meeting up at a bakery, that was owned by Aaron's younger brother, Rufus.

So, it was 6:30, an hour before the their usual assigning, and the 3 police mammals entered the bakery. The place was neither flashy, big, shiny or anything like that, but it was very welcoming nonetheless and the fox and the bunny immediately fall in love with the place. The cyan blue walls were painted with baked goods with wings, which were flying above painted clouds, and it made them feel like they were kits again. The smell was of warm and sweet pastry, signing them that whatever is sold here are freshly baked.

Looking around, there were those booths with red leather canvas covered benches around tables hugging the walls that made them think that they are in a diner somewhere in the outskirts of Zootopia, expect the smells were different, and instead of a long table that served both as a counter and a bar with stools around, it had a huge show-window, and inside it were different kinds of baked goods.

But the first thing they noticed was the huge painting behind the cash register and pastries: It showed a wolf walking on 4 legs, and holding a torch that emitted blue flames. The wolf had a black and grey circle around it.

Aaron noticed their confused stares and followed them. When he got the source, he smiled proudly.

''That is the emblem of the Wolford family. If what my father told me is true, my family was one of the most famous noble family in the earlier days of Zootopia. Now don't forget, we are wolves, thus very traditional, so after the modern age came, and the noble titles became useless, a lot of wolf families kept their emblems and some hereditary items and estates as a show off." Explained Aaron while walking towards the counter. A snicker was heard from Nick.

''Well look at you, Sir Wolfie, being your majesty's grand acquaintance is my honor, is your highness in need of any baked goods, it would be my pleasure to serve you." Mocked Nick dramatically with a fake accent and a deep bow towards the wolf. That got a chuckle from the lupine and a giggle from the bunny.

''Sir Wolfie? Your majesty? Your Highness? Do you have a fan or something Aaron?" said a voice coming from behind the cash register. They looked up and saw another wolf leaning on the counter. The wolf was nearly identical to Aaron, but had longer ears, a shorter muzzle, a scar on his cheek and his fur had more grey and less black than Aaron. All in all, it was like seeing a scarred Aaron with an apron.

''Flower, my maaaan!" cheered Aaron while also leaning on the counter with his chin resting on his paw.

''You're never gonna let me down on that one, are you?" asked the other wolf in an annoyed tone.

''You know me too well, Flower, What's up with you nowadays?" asked Aaron.

''With me? With me?! Last I checked it wasn't me who decided to disappear from the radar for 2 days! If mother wouldn't have told me yesterday that you were safe and sound, I would have started to search you up myself." explained the wolf with a hurt voice.

''Yeah, I'm really sorry about that, I had a bit hard time these days, I had to rearrange some things in my life." Answered Aaron while looking at the ground in shame.

In the mean time Nick couldn't not ogle the wolf. Now that he had a chance to look over Wolfie, he had to agree, the wolf's muscular body was really alluring, and the way the police uniform hugged his body, showing off his lean form was stirring something primal inside the fox. He rested his eyes on his rear a bit longer, getting some pretty inappropriate images. He didn't know if he was a freak for being attracted to another species, and to top it off from the same-sex, but he had a hard time finding the urge to care.

''Like what you see, horny fox?" asked Judy while giggling. Seeing Nick looking at the wolf like candy was really amusing. Oh, she will so use this weakness of his in the future.

''W-what are you talking about?" asked Nick while not taking his eyes off the wolf's fluffy tail that was wagging at him like it was inviting him. He found his own tail starting to wag.

Traitor.

''You are hopeless" said Judy with a roll of her eyes.

Hearing their voices, Aaron's brother looked over to them and became wide-eyed. He quickly took Aaron's uniform collar and pulled him closer, suprising the older lupine.

''How long has the biggest heroes of Zootopia been standing there?!" whispered Aaron's brother harshly.

A smug smile appeared on Aaron's muzzle. He knew that his family was a fan of Nick and Judy, and he also knew that his brother was like the Clawhauser of them.

''Oh yeah, where are my manners. Bushy Tail, Judy this is my youngest Brother, Rufus Wolford, owner of this fine bakery. Flower, these are my friends and colleagues-'' started to explain Aaron but was cut off by Rufus.

''Nicholas Piberious Wilde and Judith Laverne Hopps! Oh! I'm such a great fan of what you guys do!" exclaimed Rufus with an excited smile.

The bunny and the fox blushed by the sudden fan, and tried to think of what they should do about the sudden attention.

''It's nice to meet you too Rufus, it feels great knowing that someone recognizes us, but we really are just doing our work." Thanked Judy accompanied by a nervous laugh.

''Yeah, thanks, but we aren't that big of a deal." Explained Nick, trying to regain his cool and collected self.

''Not a big deal? You guys saved Zootopia from tearing itself apart! I don't get it why are you still only regular officers, not the Chief or something bigger." Fanboyed Rufus. It amused Aaron seeing his brother getting all starstruck. What amused him more, was seeing Judy and his fox get all nervous of the sudden attention.

''Hey Carrots, hear that? He thinks we would do better work than Buffalo Bill. You think it will be enough to overtake him?" joked Nick with a sly grin. He wasn't used to being praised, so he did the first thing he does at 99.999% of the times: Joke.

''Nick! We are just rookie cops! We can't just start rebelling against the Chief." Retorted the bunny.

''Come on Whiskers, you know we would be so much better than him. I bet we would…"

While the two officers continued bantering, Rufus leaned in to start whispering into his brother's ear.

''They are really cute together, do you think they are a…y'know…. a 'thing'? " Whispered Rufus. Aaron became wide-eyed and a pang of jealousy started to grow inside him. He knew that he had no reason to be jealous of Judy, after Nick admitting that he feels the same towards him and wants to start something bigger, something more serious ASAP, but it did hurt nonetheless.

''They are, but I know they aren't a 'thing' from a reliable source." Answered Aaron nonchalantly. Upon realizing what he just said, he internally facepalmed.

Aaron thought for a second that he might have been too unsubtle about the truth. It wasn't that he wanted to keep him and Nick a secret, especially from his brother, who once admitted to him that he was his favourite from the family, but he thought it would make more sense to come clean when things finally got to their place. Thankfully, Rufus was too starstruck to notice his slip-up, and was totally oblivious.

After their banter ended, and bought their delicious breakfast (although they couldn't avoid giving autographs to the excited Rufus.), they walked towards the Precinct while joking about the situation that happened in the bakery. They agreed on making a routine of meeting up there and getting their breakfast here, because after tasting the pastries, Nick and Judy almost fainted from the deliciousness of them.


Upon entering the Precinct, they were immediately welcomed by a wave of applause. Or more like Aaron, since officers came to congratulate him and to give him some backpats accompanied by encouraging words. The wolf took them with gratefulness, but otherwise had no idea how to react to the praise, especially that they praised something he considered to be a mistake not an act of bravery.

''Sooo, I suppose everybody knows about your stunt already, huh?" asked Nick after no other officers came to show their sympathy towards his wolf.

''Yeah, it feels nice, but I just did what every insane mammal would have done." retorted Aaron nervously.

''Well that's true, but you literally blown up to that hedgehog lady's face, and didn't even give her a chance to answer back, you literally K.O.-ed her verbally." praised Judy accompanied by a laugh while hopping towards the front desk to chat with Clawhauser. When the bunny was out of hearing range, Nick tugged the wolf's uniform, signing him to lean down and the wolf did as requested.

''And now that I think about it, you were really hot at that moment, being all protective and sweet" whispered Nick to the Lupine's ear. Aaron became pretty red upon hearing the suggestive compliment, and after feeling the fox (intentionally) stroke his tail alongside Aaron's muzzle while winking back at him, he had to restrain himself not to do something he would regret later, especially in front of Clawhauser. He started to think about getting some ear buds, just for that moment, when they tell him the truth. Or get caught in a weak moment. The cheetah will probably give an earth shattering squeak after discovering about them.

Realizing that he was still squatting and looking at the Vulpine's swishing tail, who's owner was already chatting with Clawhauser, he quickly regained his posture and rushed to the reception desk. He tried to listen to the conversation, but was too lost in his own thoughts. He really hoped that whatever Mrs Ho-Bonnie, whatever Bonnie listed to them will help. He had so much uncertainties and questions about the situation, but he really wanted it to work.

Would it even work? I mean I love him, and I know he at least likes me if not more, that should be enough, i think….what would others think? What would the Precinct think? Judy and Clawhauser would definitely be supportive, but what about the other officers? What about the Chief?

The Chief….

His eyes widened in realization. They were expected to be in his office before the briefing which was in 20 minutes.

''And did you know, that Gazelle was-''

''Erm, guys, Sorry to interrupt but aren't we supposed to be in the Chief's office by now?" asked Aaron. The bunny and the fox both suddenly remembered and looked at the clock, showing them that they had very little time 'till they have to be at the bullpen.

''Oh Sweet cheese and crackers, you are right, sorry Benji, the chief wants to see us before the morning briefing, so we have to hurry." Apologized Judy, but Clawhauser was waving at her dismissively.

''It's fine, you cuties go, and try not to get screamed at too much, it was nice not hearing the Chief get frustrated all the way from his office." pleaded Clawhauser mockingly. With chuckles and a dirty stare for the c-word from Judy, they quickly rushed up the stairs.

Clawhauser was a happy feline. The reason of his sudden happiness, that his new ship seemed to be approaching it's bay. He was a feline, so he had a great eye towards details, that's why he was the heart of gossips in the Precinct. He saw the subtle hints that not even Bogo could detect, and knew exactly what was going on with the mammal under his watchful eye. That was the reason why a lot of felines worked at forensics. Their eyes could detect things that other mammals couldn't. It was like Canines had good noses, thus making them good trackers.

The only reason he was not working as an interrogator is pretty funny actually. Once, they tried to test his skills at it, but the cheetah quickly changed the topic to Gazelle. Even after the criminal pleaded guilty and told him everything, Clawhauser did not stop. After notifying Bogo to come and stop the cheetah, did Clawhauser finally stop, but the damage was already done: the criminal was already diagnosed with insanity, and had to be transported to an asylum instead of the prison.

Back to the present, Clawhauser might have seemed like he did not notice Wolford, but he was actually watching him, inspecting him. He saw the longing glances him and Nick stole from each other upon entering the building, he saw their little whispering session before they came to his desk, although he did not hear any of it, but if Wolford's red face and Nick's intimate behaviour towards said wolf was any indicator, he had a decent idea. He also saw the internal battle in the wolf's head and the uncertainty in the fox's face after that. Clawhauser now know that they just need one little confirmation, or something to show them that they have nothing to be afraid of.


Upon reaching the Chief's door, Judy knocked.

''Come in" they heard Bogo's usual gruff voice.

When they opened the door, they saw the chief typing away in his computer, not even giving them a glance. They rushed over to the chair, but since the chair was enough for Wolford, or Judy and Nick combined, the wolf decided to stand next to the chair, arms folded behind his back.

After they got seated, the chief finally looked up, grunted and seemed to close some windows on his computer. After he was done, he faced them and leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms, giving them the famous 'Bogo-stare'. They knew that he did that so he could put some pressure and discomfort into his victims, and did not necessary mean they were in trouble. But was it working like intended? Yes, holy baguette it was.

After Bogo made sure that their returning officers were already as uncomfortable, he leaned forward, put his hooves on the table and rested his chin on them. He was looking at nothing, but Aaron at that moment.

''Explain." Said the Chief sternly.

''What do you want me to explain chief? The reason why was I acting strange 2 days ago?" asked Aaron nervously.

''That would be correct, Officer Wolford, I would like to know the reason of the extraordinary behaviour from one of my most calm and most well-disciplined officer. I think it's not too much to ask for." Answered the Chief without breaking eye contact.

''Of course, it's not Chief." Aaron sighed ''Well, upon hearing my fellow officers, Officer Wilde and Officer Hopps being victims of bigotry, I remembered some heavily painful moments from my childhood when I was discriminated and was treated in the same way, which resulted in my irrational temper rising and influencing my actions, and for that I'm sincerely sorry, I promise it won't happen again." explained Aaron as professionally and as respectfully as he could. Nick and Judy looked at the wolf in wonder and mouth agape after such a sentence.

Bogo eyed the Lupine for some moments.

''And?" asked Bogo simply.

''What do you mean Chief?" answered Aaron nervously.

''Officer Wolford, childhood bullying from 2 decades ago could cause some serious mental damage to one's mind, and later these memories could surface upon being triggered, thus leading to some unusual behaviour, but the way you were acting made me think that there is more to it than that, or am I mistaken?" asked Bogo while narrowing his eyes. Aaron audibly gulped.

''Yes sir, there is." Admitted Aaron while looking at the floor in shame. He was not ready to say what the chief wanted from him, but it seemed like there was no way out.

His train of thoughts were interrupted when a red paw touched his, and started to rub it reassuringly. He looked at the fox and the bunny sitting next to him, who were both smiling at him, filling the wolf with confidence. He smiled again and looked back at the chief, whose eyebrow was slightly raised, but seemed like returning his attention from the red paw that was still soothing Aaron back to the wolf's face.

''Well Chief, now you see, the other thing, that made my temper go loose was that the fact that the victim of said bigotry was Officer Wilde and Hopps, who I hold in high regard." Admitted Aaron again not losing his confidence.

Nick and Judy snapped their attention to the wolf and looked at him in confusion. Even the Chief seemed to raise an inquiring eyebrow.

''Last time I checked, You and Officer Wilde and Hopps were not on a friendly basis." Assumed Bogo.

''That is true, but it doesn't mean that I never respected them more than any other officer in this building." said Aaron. He looked down at the small mammals sitting next to him and gave a confirming smile.

''Chief remember the first day of Officer Hopps?" asked Aaron.

''Yes, I indeed do, but not one my fondest memories. Nor the day afterwards. Why do you ask?" Inquired Bogo. He was not happy to relive one of his 2 misjudgments of his entire career.

''Well now you see, I was actually the only one in the entire building that respected Officer Hopps when she joined, and by everyone, I meant it. Not even Officer Clawhauser gave her the benefit of the doubt…"


~' 1 and a half years before…..

Aaron Wolford was munching on his usual croissant that he had bought from his brother's bakery. He was currently entering his workplace, ZPD's Precinct one, where he was a police mammal. He loved his job: helping mammals who are in need of help was really his thing. Even though he had no partner, which meant that he wouldn't be out patrolling, helping mammals directly, but he could still help with some cases, and use his super-nose when needed. The mammals that started to disappear all around the city was certainly one of those cases, although he couldn't find any useful information, which kind of frustrated him, but he won't give up.

He was walking towards the reception desk, where Officer Clawhauser, the ZPD's flabby donut-loving dispatcher was currently pouring some cereal as his 5th Breakfast. It amused the wolf how the cheetah could eat so much without getting any disease and always managing to complete the yearly physical check, but it is the cheetah's secret to hold.

Rearing the desk he waved at the cheetah, thus catching his attention.

''Hello, there Benji, what's up today?" asked Aaron. He knew that besides fanboying about Gazelle and eating more sugar than healthy, gossiping was his speciality, and never failed to deliver some of the interesting ones. Aaron certainly did not like the whole conception of telling everyone someone's secret, but he knew that information was power, and sometimes it did help understand some of his colleague's behaviour.

''Oh, hello Wolford, have you heard that we will get new rookie cops today?" asked excitingly Clawhauser. That perked the wolf's interest.

Maybe I can get a partner finally.

''But it's not all, try to guess what species is the valedictorian" urged the now giggling cheetah.

''Ermm, a Polar bear?"

''Nope."

''A Lion?"

''Nope."

''A wolf?"

''Oh you wish." Giggled the cheetah.

''Then what is it?" asked Wolford in frustration, but nonetheless curiously.

What species could make the cheetah hyperventilate?

''Get ready….It's a bunny!" then he burst out laughing like it was the best joke in the universe. Upon realizing that the wolf was not laughing, instead he was giving the cheetah a very unamused look, Clawhauser recomposed himself.

''A rabbit! Get it? A rabbit just joined the Police!" he started to lightly giggle again. The wolf was not.

''So? What's the problem with that?" retorted Aaron seriously. He was not liking what the cheetah was implying.

''Oh come on! A rabbit police officer. Isn't that funny?" asked the cheetah starting to get wary that the wolf's eyes started to narrow.

''No, not the least bit, why would that be funny?" asked the wolf with a tone that started to gain bits of anger.

''Well, you know, how would a bunny be a good police officer? That's like….unheard of? Impossible?" asked the cheetah now being a little scared. Unbeknownst to the wolf, he was leaning towards the cheetah with a low growl.

''Well, we can't know, until we give him or her a try, can't we now? Who knows maybe the rabbit will be a great asset to the force." Stated Aaron regaining his calm and reasonable self.

''You can't be serious about that….can you?" asked the cheetah carefully. He had never seen the usually cheerful and calm wolf so intimidating and almost angry.

''Well, yes I am, and I bet you will eat your words after this rabbit shows you that size doesn't matter." Huffed Aaron, while stomping away, leaving a very confused and worried cheetah at the desk.

Prejudice never dies it seems. That rabbit will show them all, they will see.


~In bullpen

Upon entering the bullpen, he was very confused. All his colleagues, expect for the new bunny it seems, were sitting at their table looking at the chief who seemed to be earlier than usual. He quickly looked at his watch, and saw that it wasn't him being the late one.

''Ah, Officer Wolford, please take a seat." Asked Bogo sternly. Upon seeing the wolf take his usual place, he began.

''You might be questioning why did I come here 10 minutes before the required time. The reason behind this is that we have an emergency that needs to be taken care of." Said Bogo without losing his serious tone.

An emergency? What could that mean?

''I believe you all heard the mayor's new Mammal Inclusion Initiative Program that encourages mammals to find work outside their boundaries?" everyone nodded. ''Well, I will openly admit that i don't agree with the major on that point, especially if it affects my workplace as well, which as of today, it does." Low murmurs were heard. ''One week ago, a new set of Cadets graduated from the Academy, and to a shock to me, Judy Hopps, a rabbit, managed to snatch away the Valedictorian title with booming scores." Some chuckles there and some snickering there. ''Which, as usual, I don't care for. I will not let a rabbit lower the reputation of the force, my force, by being useless! So Here is what you are going to do: You are not to welcome this rabbit in any way, and since I'm instantly going to assign her to parking duty for an indefinite time, no one to protest or even request partnership with her. Who ever dares to even show a sign of welcoming towards the rabbit will be instantly fired, and I will make sure to never get a new work in this city, ever!" at this point Bogo was shouting.

Aaron looked around and saw that the Chief was not the only one to not care about the rabbit's accomplishments, (Which, by the way greatly impressed the wolf) and saw that none of the officers showed any kind of reluctance or hesitation.

What is wrong with everyone?! This rabbit manages to finish Valedictorian in the ZPA and no one bats an eye? I thought the ZPA's purpose was to show who is ready to be a cop and to filter out the ones who don't! And this rabbit managed to not only survive 9 months there, but managed to finish above everyone, showing that she has the talent and determination to be a real cop!

''So, now I'm gonna leave and come back at the usual time, you will continue with what you were doing before, and don't forget: Don't. Welcome. The Rabbit." Commanded the buffalo while storming out of the bullpen.

Everyone burst out laughing upon his leave.

''You guys hear that? A rabbit! That's so cute!"

''Hey, do you wanna bet that she will resign after today?"

''Sure!"

Next to him was Fangmeyer clutching her side of laughter.

''Hey Aaron, can you believe it?" exclaimed the tiger.

Aaron was about to reply, when he heard the door open. He looked back and saw nobody. He got confused, but then he saw some of his colleagues glancing at the ground where 2 tip of grey ears could be seen. Then the rabbit jumped up at the seat next to McHorn, dusted off herself, and formed a fist from her paw.

''Hey! Officer Hopps. You ready to make the world a better place?'' introduced herself the rabbit cheerfully.

Auch, starting off with a cliché line is not a good start. Although i can see how she got through the academy. She literally smells like determination. I like this rabbit.

He was angry at McHorn for literally pushing the rabbit away. But instead of speaking up, he calmed himself and hoped that the bunny will show a way to change the stubborn chief's view.

''Atten-hut!" shouted Higgins the hippo officer, starting the usual daily hoots and table banging.

Chief Bogo stormed in (again), looking as annoyed as always.

''Alright, alright! Everybody sit." the hoots stopped.

''I've got three items on the docket. First…we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room."

Oh come on, already?… Poor rab-Hopps. Her name is Hopps, not the rabbit. She deserves that much and more.

''Francine…Happy birthday." And then the room turns from suspense to excitement, everyone congratulating the elephant officer.

*facepalms inside*

''Number two: there are some new recruits with us I should introduce, but I'm not going to because I don't care. "grunted Bogo with a tone that confirmed his light-heartedness. It made all the officers snigger, expect for the wolf, who was having an internal battle.

Stupid Buffalo with his stupid bigotry.

''Finally: we have fourteen missing mammal cases - all predators - from a giant polar bear to a teensy little otter, and City Hall is right up my tail to find them! This is priority number one" said Bogo while taking 4 folders from Higgins hand and starting to hand out the assignments.

''Assignments: Officers Snarlof, Fangmeyer, Delgato: your teams take missing mammals from the Rainforest District." Handed the folder out, which was snatched away by Delgato, before Snarlof could get it.

''Officers McHorn, Rhinowitz, Wolford: your teams take Sahara Square." Aaron stood up and went after the two rhinos, who already took the folder.

Yeah, pfft, You mean McHorn and Rhinowitz goes out patrolling, while I supervise them from the jam cams. *inner roll of eyes*

Upon leaving, he bid adieu to the two rhinos and made his way towards the camera room. But before he could turn on the corner, he realised that he forgot his coffee mug on his table back at the bullpen. He quickly made his way back, but he stopped, when he heard Bogo's voice.

''So?"

''So I can handle one. You probably forgot, but I was top of my class at the academy." said a feminine voice.

''Didn't forget. Just don't care." replied nonchalantly Bogo. Aaron at this point was an inch away from ripping the door off its hinges and give the chief a piece of his mind.

''Sir, I'm not just some token bunny" retorted the voice, who the wolf supposed was Hopps.

Truest sentence and probably the sanest I'be heard all day.

''Well then, writing one hundred tickets a day should be easy" and he left the room. The buffalo was so focused on getting away from the source of his annoyance, that he did not notice the fuming wolf glaring at him.

''A hundred tickets, I'm not gonna write a hundred tickets. I'm gonna write two-hundred tickets! Before noon!" said Hopps in a determined voice.

You go girl! Damn, after being humiliated like this, she could still be herself. I respect that. I respect the rabbit. I respect Hopps.

Then a very annoyed and determined looking rabbit came out of the bullpen. Before Aaron could say anything to her, the bunny stomped away towards the garage.

*sigh* I have a bad feeling about this
