Nick had been hoping it wouldn't come to something like this, that he'd be forced to tell one of his oldest friends that his daughter was a criminal. Reggie had come running before he'd even ended the call, the ocelot all but skidding to a stop when he saw them standing back from their suite, his face going white as his suit as he came closer, picking up on the sounds and smells drifting from the tiny gap beneath the door.

"Oh, sweet lord…" he murmured, gulping hard before turning to Nick, pulling off his hat and holding it to his chest. "I am so sorry for all of this, I-I had no idea Emily would ever—"

"It's not your fault, Reggie," Judy cut him off gently, putting a dainty paw on his wrist. Nick draped an arm around her slim shoulders.

"I doubt anything we could've done would have stopped this," he said. "Emily just won't listen to reason."

Reggie pulled in a heavy breath, keeping his white Stetson in his paws. He wouldn't look either of them in the eye.

"I'm still right ashamed things got this far," he started. "I promise, I'll do what I can to fix it."

He took out his phone and fired off some quick calls, one informing security of the situation, another to his wife to see if there were any other suites available. It only took her a couple minutes to get back to him, saying there'd been a last-minute cancellation, and that one of their best suites was empty and ready to go.

"I'll have everything cleaned and delivered to you," he assured them, rubbing his paws together once he'd put his phone away. It would still be a few minutes before security got there. He seemed at a complete loss for words, and Nick couldn't blame him.

"Give me the other key, Nick," Judy ordered suddenly, reaching for his pocket. "I'm going to arrest her myself."

She snatched the card before he could move, jammed it in the reader and threw the door open, only to stop dead in her tracks. Emily was lying in plain sight on the sofa, stark naked with her face buried in the towel he'd used after his shower that morning, her hips bucking as she frantically humped her other paw, wrapped in one of his Pawaiian shirts.

"O-Oh god, Nick!" she gasped, trembling as her scent spiked further, falling back as her orgasm coursed through her. "E-Even your scent…oh god!"

Nick felt his stomach churn, barely able to hold back the bile that rushed up his throat. Reggie didn't look much better, whipping out his phone again and demanding to know where in the lord's name security was. They both froze at a furious growl, watching wide-eyed as Judy stormed into the suite; Nick was surprised she didn't strangle Emily when she dragged the younger doe off the couch, making her kiss the floor as she slammed a knee into Emily's back.

"What the hell?!" the doe's brain finally clicked on again, and she started writhing against Judy's grip. "Get off me, you stupid bitch!"

Judy scoffed.

"You're lucky this is all I'm doing to you, Graves," she twisted Emily's wrists behind her, all but spitting flames. "You're under arrest for theft, breaking and entering, multiple counts of sexual harassment of an officer and anything else I can think to throw at you. I'd read you your rights, but frankly, I don't give a shit."

She hauled the girl to her knees, keeping a tight grip on her arms, her nose wrinkling when she caught the scent the unstable bunny was giving off.

"Nick, could you get my towel from the bathroom, please?" she smiled sweetly at him, her eyes still hard and angry. "We'll need to bag her clothes for evidence, and we can't let her tramp around naked."

"Right," he didn't argue, keeping his eyes on the cracked open bathroom door as he moved quickly past them. Emily's current position left far too much of her on display for his tastes, and he didn't want Reggie to have to see this for any longer than he had to. Judy had just gotten it tied around her captive when two capybaras in blue security uniforms showed up at the door, neither looking too surprised when they saw the scene. Emily struggled to break free when the larger of them grabbed her, seeming to not care in the least when her makeshift dress started slipping.

"You can't do this to me!" she shouted, snapping her teeth at the one who tried to cuff her. "I have every right to be here!"

She glared at Nick, knelt next to Judy with his arms around her, both of them staring blankly back at her. His hackles rose when he saw the evil smirk cross her smug face.

"Tell them, Nick, you invited me here when I bumped into you at breakfast the other day," she licked her lips, then blew a kiss at him. "You want me just as badly as I want you, so just go ahead and admit it already!"

Nick groaned, pressing a paw to his mouth when he tasted acid again. It took a few tries to force it back, his fur still bristled when he could finally speak.

"I've made it very clear from day one that I wanted nothing to do with you," he said scathingly. He cupped Judy's cheek, brushing it tenderly as he tilted her chin back, his anger fading as he gazed at her. "I went through hell to be with this bunny, and I'd relive it all every day just to stay by her side."

She sniffled, putting a paw over his as she smiled at him, leaning in to press a warm kiss to his lips.

"And I'd do the same for you, Nick," she answered softly. "Always."

She kissed him again, her body going taut when she heard Emily's disgusted scoff.

"Oh, please, you really think a guy like him could actually be attracted to you?" she laughed derisively. "You've got to be the frumpiest doe I've ever seen, and you make him play second fiddle to a job!"

Judy gawked at her.

"I do not!"

Emily laughed again.

"Surprise, surprise, you deny it," she shook her head. "I saw him when you kept droning on about it at dinner, even when he tried to talk about your little freak kids, you don't even notice that it drives him crazy!"

Judy's paws tightened on his shirt, catching his fur, and she looked up at him, her eyes wide.

"Nick, I could never put my job above you, or our kids! You have to believe that!"

He smiled a bit, tracing a claw lightly across her bottom lip.

"I know that, sweetheart, and I should've told you about this a long time ago," he brushed her cheek again. "But I know why you do it, you don't want the kids getting judged, even when they're not around to hear it."

He kissed her forehead, draping his tail around her when she leaned into his chest. The warmth in his eyes dropped back into ice when he focused on Emily, a hard smile coming to his lips when she actually shrank back.

"We'll deal with you once we get back to the city," he said flatly, then turned to the security mammals. "Do us a favor and get her out of here, will you? I'm getting sick just looking at her."

The capybaras nodded, hauling emily to her feet between them and leading her quickly away. Reggie fell against the wall once they were gone, his face in a grimace as her indignant screeching faded down the hall. Nick sighed heavily.

"I'm so sorry you had to hear all that, Reg," he started, only for the ocelot to cut him off.

"You don't have anything to apologize for, Nick," Reggie said, his hat still in his paws. "I should've done more to stop her, I never should've let things get this far."

He looked to Judy.

"I'll do whatever it takes to get my daughter the help she needs," he went on. "I don't want her to hurt someone like this again."

She smiled.

"I appreciate you saying that, Reggie," she told him, then her nose wrinkled. "But for now, how about you just help us get everything cleaned up? We can talk about what to do with Emily once all that's settled."

He nodded, looking relieved as he set his hat back on his head.

"Your new suite's ready to go," he informed them. "Security and I will take care of things here while y'all get comfortable, and I'll have your things brought up as soon as I can."
