This is a Zootopia Fanfiction only.

Well, this had an obvious problem, first was that Bogo or how I secretly think of him Bozo actually was angry that he lost the bet. He had to make good that she would be taken off parking duty and be treated as an actual member of the force.

The second problem was with the Mayor, having pretty much solved a problem that could ruin him politically left us in a particularly thorny situation, being a fox nobody would believe that I was part of the team that found the cure for some rare epidemic, so instead, I insisted that Judy took all the credit. I would not be mentioned at all, in any news or press.

This made Judy a little angry until I asked her to do it as a favor for me. The second problem was the publicity photo shoot that the Mayor wanted to do, where he publicly explained why so many mammals were sent to a remote hospital, and much as I told him he indeed mentioned that it was for their safety. He also pinned a medal to Judy's uniform.

As soon as Judy and Leodore were off to answer the many questions of the media, I just stood in the background, not to steal her moment in the spotlight, and who just happens to come near me but Dawn. "You know Nick, I never would expect you two to solve the case so quickly, I hope me helping you proved to be useful. But I need to ask why aren't you getting a medal and being given the Hero treatment?"

I looked at Dawn and simply smiled, "Cause I don't need a medal or to be treated as a hero. I am sure they would never want to make public that the godson of Mister Big, was actually involved with this case. Thanks for caring Dawn, and yes your help was one part that allowed us to find the missing mammals."

She began to lean against me, "You know me, Nick, I am always happy to help you. Speaking of which do you happen to have anything planned after all this? I imagine you will go back to your business, knowing you, you are probably still worried about the place following the health department guidelines. I lost count how many times you told that one guy to wash his paws."

I couldn't help but laugh, "Well you know Flash got another job that as far as I know is making him a lot happier than serving juice. I think he told me he is now working at the DMV. Somehow I think he will make a lot of friends there."

She was smiling when I looked at her, "Well if you have some free time, why don't you try and run for Mayor yourself? I know it was you who helped cure them of that strange illness. You got any idea how so many predators or so many different species all got sick by something like that flower without any of them actually eating one?"

I looked at Judy who was still answering questions, "All depends if Officer Hopps still needs my help after she got as you said the hero treatment. As for me running for Mayor why would I do that? You know that foxes are the least trusted predator in Zootopia, there is no chance someone would elect a shifty fox as Mayor."

Judy finally finished the last of the questions and apparently began walking towards me. "Well looks like your partner is coming this way, if you need my help, you know my number. Like always Nick, a pleasure to see you again."

She left in a hurry which is rather odd. "So Judy did the Mayor tell you what your next case is going to be?" She looked at Dawn walking away and then at me, why do I get the feeling that she was glaring at Dawn as she walked away in such a hurry?

"The Mayor asked me to look into the possible source of these cases, and of course I told him you would help me. He seemed to relax once I told him this. Apparently, you made quite an impression ever since the Olympic Games. So how about it Nick, can you help me with this case?"

I told her that it was something she didn't even need to ask, as far as I am concerned it was still the same case, and I did promise to help her.

For some odd reason city hall was feeling an awful colder than when we entered so I need to feel some warmth, fur aside, I really felt cold. So I did the only thing I could I pulled Judy closer to me as we walked as I help her paw in mine.

"Nick it is not that I mind you holding my paw like this, but I would like to know what caused this?" I don't know how her face looks, but her tone tells me she is blushing bright red right about now. I relaxed as we exited city hall and began to walk towards the nearest tram, we needed to take an inter-city rail car to take us to where I knew we could find everything we needed.

"I can't help it Carrots, I was feeling really cold there for a moment in city hall, and since you were the nearest source of warmth, I sort of instinctively held you closer to me, sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable. I think we need to go to the Tundra district if we are going to find who is peddling those night howlers. "

She began to move close to me as we sat on seats right next to each other, "I don't mind that much Nick, but you did catch me by surprise, so mind telling me why you want to go to the Tundra district? I think that some of our informants in that district might know something but why do you want to go there?"

I could not help but laugh when she said it, "Why for you to visit my godfather if someone is selling anything in the black market, he would know who and what is being sold. I think he knows exactly who is selling the night howlers and if we know who is doing it, we know the source of all these cases of people going savage."

As we finally arrived in the Tundra district I saw several people that work for or are associated with my godfather's business. I know this district is cold, but growing up here made me appreciate the warmth of home and family even more than some other kids.

I walked into my godfather's office and sat down on a chair, Judy sat right next to mine. We waited and waited I think I told my godfather's right hand that we really needed to speak with him. Sure enough, he was carried like always to his desk and I, of course, wanted to be respectful kissed his ring.

"Ah, Nick my boy, so what do I owe this pleasant visit? I see Ms. Hopps here is with you, Fru Fru will be very happy to see that her suspicions were not as wrong as some of my people thought." Wait, Fru Fru was suspicious of us? What exactly did she think our relationship was?

"Well, godfather I just know that if anything gets traded in Zootopia in secret, you would know. You probably saw how Judy discovered the cure for a condition that afflicted many people in our city, we have a suspicion that it was caused by using Night Howlers that were smuggled and sold in the city. Since I know you would know about it, I decided to save time and ask you, sorry if we inconvenience you."

He laughed and looked at me, "No my boy, you are never an inconvenience, as for someone selling Night Howlers, well that flower is usually used as a pest repellent, you know I use them often in my olive farms. Yes, Ms. Hopps, my family has been in the production and sale of olive oil for generations. Most healthy cooking oil that I know of."

He began to rub his chin with his paw for a second, "I would check with Weaselton, Duke Weaselton. Why don't I save you some time, you know me and the family were about to have dinner. I will send some of my men to fetch him for us, they will bring him while we eat dinner. My daughter and her husband seem to want to ask you both a favor."

I had no reason to refuse eating dinner, "I don't know if Judy has to take care of something at the moment, but I would love to eat dinner with the rest of my family, I also want to hear how married life has been for Fru Fru. You know I love her like a sister."

Judy looked at me and for a second she smiled, "Actually I want to hear what this favor is, and no, I don't have anything else to do today, thank you for your help and your offer of letting us eat dinner with your family."

As we all were told dinner was being served, Judy was shocked to see Fru Fru very much showing signs of her pregnancy, boy these two either really worked hard at this or I suspect the bun was already in the oven before the dinner party was even planned.

"Nick, Judy, just the two I wanted to see. As you can see I am expecting a little bundle of joy, a girl by some luck, and since you are family Nick, I was wondering if you and Judy would mind being the godfather and godmother of my little one. It would make me feel so much more relaxed knowing that two kind people like you should something unfortunate happened to me and my husband."

I immediately touched the wooden table and hit it on the surface a few times with my knuckles. "Of course, we would be glad to be there for your little one. I know Nick just don't want something to happen to you at all, you know he loves you like a sister, which to me is nice of him."

I looked at my godfather and he was smiling, I am almost worried, godfather really smiles. "As I was going to ask since you are looking for Weaselton, I want to ask you if by any chance should he deny answering your questions, that you bring him to me. He has not come to see me in several months, such disrespect should be corrected."

Yea, disciplinary meeting sound so much better than to say there will be a weasel Popsicle pretty soon. "Your friend here is a member of the ZPD, and to be honest the only reason we are even talking about this with her here is that you obviously care about her. Since she is a cop he will more than likely try to insult her or flat out tell her off. I will take care of him, just bring him here."

What else could I say that I would do just that? Like I said my godfather may look small, but he is not someone anyone should mess with, speaking truly my gram mama was probably even harsher than him, but then again she did fight in a war. She knew just how to hit you with that walking stick of hers to make it really hurt.

"I will do that godfather, again thanks for keeping an eye on my shop while I am helping Carrots here. I may end up embarrassing the family if things go on. Her boss apparently is a discriminating her, so I might end up going to the police academy just so that I can keep her safe."

He laughed and looked at her, "Well you always did things to protect other my boy, I am sure you can keep little Ms. Carrots safe." That is when Judy and Fru Fru stopped talking about things I really don't want anything to do with, their giggling told me it was a subject better left alone.

"Say, Nick, you been calling me Carrots a few times, why? It had better not be because I am a rabbit." I honestly didn't think she would find my nickname to be that offensive. I guess I never really explained.

"Well honestly is because you are down to earth, bright, and sweet, you know like a Carrot. Didn't think you found it offensive, sorry, I also know that the C word is out, so and honestly I don't know if like me enough to say that."

Now she is angry, "What exactly do you mean by C word." I honestly said that we were in a committed relationship. That made her blush, Fru Fru smiled so big I am actually looking at more teeth that I should, making me feel nervous actually.

As we finished dinner I swear they are talking like my wedding is going to happen before my godchild is born. I know, I know, I put my paw in my mouth when I said that but I always had a thing to answer politely and honestly any question by an authority figure and since she is a cop, she qualifies.

She was walking a lot closer to me than usual, or maybe it is because she is holding my paw, come to think of it how long has she been holding my paw? "So you are willing to let another person run your shop and go to the police academy just for little me. Why?" Again with a question I can't possibly evade.

I told her that so she would have at least someone she knew she could trust and help her. I swear if she keeps asking me these questions, I will end up answering her in a way that more than likely will end up with me lying on the ground, and this ground is covered in snow, and ice, not a place to be on.

As we went to the place my godfather mentioned, sure enough, Duke was selling bootleg copies of movies, DVDs for movies that just recently came out no less. Wait, he is even selling porn? Right next to the children's movies no less. Alright, I better take this guy to my godfather and soon if some other member of the Family sees this, they are liable to do much worse than teach him how to swim like a polar bear.

"Well if it isn't the King of Bootleg, hey I hear that you were branching out, selling some moldy onions. Come on Duke, you know better than to do a racket without telling Mister Big, so out with it, where are those onions coming from and who bought them?"

He looked at me and he spits his cigarette at me, "Why should I tell you anything? Just cause you to think you are big because you are in good with the Family, well you can tell that bunny cop that she can hop right into some other profession since she has this tight little package and we both know how bunnies love to screw, how about a brothel?"

OK, the gloves come off. I was asking him to try and get him a much better treatment when I take him to my godfather but after the whore comment, I honestly hope they boil him alive. I grabbed the little twerp and began to walk to the obvious car that was waiting for us, as soon as we were near two polar bears got out and took him.

We sat comfortably, drinking ice tea on the seat right in front of it. Both polar bears took turns in making Duke life a living hell. "Well we are going to meet my godfather, it is a long drive, at least we have entertainment, but me without my popcorn, thank for the tea guys." The guy next to the driver began to laugh.

"Don't mention it, Nick, you know you are family. You do have popcorn it is in the microwave beneath your seat, surprised the buttery smell didn't give it away." So here we are Judy and me drinking tea in the opening act to the play the ninth circle of hell. Now Duke was sweating, the only thing that I was thinking is how? They keep the AC so cold ice doesn't melt.

As we finally got back to my godfather's office, well I guess some of the men who were carrying Duke they actually noticed that I was fuming mad. This scumbag told Judy that she should work in a brothel, I need information about those night howlers and who bought them from Duke, but is I was alone with him, I would want to ice the stupid weasel.

"Now I imagine my dear godson asked you to tell him who did you smuggle those night howlers for? I better not hear that you insulted Judy. So spill it, who asked you to get those plants, and who did you sell them to?"

Duke was standing on a Persian rug and I know exactly what is beneath the said rug, "Why should I talk? You know we don't discuss each other's business with outsiders, I keep your secrets and you keep mine, it's professional courtesy."

My godfather wants answers when he asks a question, and this is not going to go well for Duke if how my godfather was looking at the rug. He pointed at both of the polar bears that stood at each side of Duke. "ICE THIS WEASEL!"

One picked him up by the scruff of his neck, and the other pulled the rug and opened a trap door that was beneath the rug, ice cold water was seen flowing. "YOU DIRTY RAT, WHY ARE YOU HELPING THEM, SHE IS A COP!"

He looked at Judy and smiled, "And she is also the future godmother to my grandchild."

Fru Fru was standing right next to her father and smiled, "We are naming her Judy."

Like I said this is not going well for Duke, not going well at all. "Alright, Alright, I'll talk, I'll talk. I was told to get these flowers for a sheep, his name is Doug, a complete psychopath, but he pays good money for some stinking flowers so who am I to refuse?"

"Now you got to keep me safe, cause this Doug is not the sort that will like it when he hears that I talked, he is not nice, not nice at all, he is the opposite of friendly." Duke was really nervous. I could tell my godfather that Duke made a comment that Judy should work as a prostitute, but somehow I get the feeling Doug will do much worse things to him.

"See Duke, no problems, you could have answered this back at your stand and nothing would have happened, guys did you send people to pick up his bootleg movies right? Cause they may be cheap knock offs but Duke is liable to lose money.

One of the polar bears gave Duke a hundred bucks, and pretty much said he bought them all. He needed something to use for target practice. Skeet shooting using bootleg DVDs, well I have to give credit where credit is due, I never thought about using those discs for that.
