Zootopia Police Department
Precinct One

Leora joined the ambassador in overlooking the assembled crowd of officers below.
"I see you've revealed me to Bogo. It's a shame, I was enjoying the game of shadows," he mentioned after a moment of silence.
She didn't reply.
Several minutes later, Bogo walked in, along with several arctic mammals; his uniform was pristine and the brass that adorned him was polished. He proudly marched up to Leora and the wolf, while the mammals he walked in with went to meet the group on the first floor.
"So, shall we begin?" asked Bogo, shooting a dirty look.
"Naturally, Mr. Bogo. Unless you would like to keep me waiting?"

Bogo snorted and quickly glanced at Leora, who returned his look of exasperation.
"Listen up!" Bogo began, raising his voice so that all could hear. "You were brought here to impress a special visitor at the mayor's request. I want you to act with the utmost respect, and perform at your best." He turned to the wolf. "Why don't you introduce yourself, ambassador?"
All eyes in the room turned to him.
"Greetings, everyone. I am the ambassador that I'm sure all of you have heard of. However, I do not need nor want such formalities. You may refer to me as Kai while I am here."
An arm in the crowd shot up; Bogo pointed, and a mammal piped up:
"Ambassador from where?"
"The EUR. You probably call it something else here. Any other questions, or shall we begin?"
A kangaroo raised its arm.
"Why are you here? There are way better places to see in the city, so why the police department?"
Bogo glared, but the wolf answered regardless.
"I will be frank. I have observed a crime problem in this city, one that the police alone cannot deal with. Therefore, with the mayor's permission, I am here to employ old military tactics. That's where you all come in. I need five mammals that will join me; you must be capable, fearless, and willing to do what needs to be done, including following any and all orders. Although I can offer double what you make now, the work is more than twice as hard. Avoiding death will be one of your biggest worries. You will be trained extensively, and you will leave all paperwork and documentation to me. In the end, the reward will be the eradication of crime. If this offer doesn't appeal to you, then you are free to leave and resume your regular duty."

Immediately about half of the mammals shuffled out: mostly prey and smaller mammals, although a few remained.
"Excellent," stated Kai. "Mr. Bogo, when you are ready, you may begin your exercise."
Bogo rolled his eyes.
"Alright, everyone break into four groups. We're having ourselves a fight club."


Downtown
Nick's Apartment

Thunder clapped outside; the rain still hadn't let up. Nick was picking at a plate of eggs; he didn't feel hungry, and he was still lost in the previous night's discussions. He took the badge that the man gave him in hand and kept turning it in his hand, wondering: if the world once had technology like this at its disposal, how could anyone get hurt?

The phone began to ring. Nick let it ring twice before lazily shambling over to the receiver and picking it up.
"Hello?" he asked drearily.
"Is this Nick Wilde?" asked a feminine voice on the other end.
"Speaking, who's asking?"
"Hello Nick, this is Juniper Horns, I'm a registered nurse at Zootopia Central Hospital. You wanted us to call if there were any developments with Ms. Judy Hopps."
"And?!" probed Nick with agitation.
"She just woke up from her coma. We've just finished our examinations, so if you would like to visit her, now would-"
"I'm on my way," he cut off, and hung up.

He quickly threw on a proper shirt, made his tie and grabbed an umbrella. He almost stepped out the door, but returned to grab the badge from the table; given the misfortune he and Judy had experienced in the past several days, he could use all the good luck he could get.


A/N: Sorry for the extremely short chapter, as well as nearly 13 days of no updates at all. I had all sorts of shit to finish up for the end of semester. I basically went seven and a half days without sleeping, and after all that was done, I went to bed at maybe ~11 EDT on Friday. I woke up three or four hours ago (10:30 pm EDT Sunday), and I'm about to go sleep some more. Thankfully I finally get my two weeks of vacation, so maybe I can get some actual updates out.

Also I'll have a real update tomorrow*, I promise.

(*I might sleep through tomorrow, so maybe the day after.)

Edit: This chapter was short because of the above reasons; I'll leave them in. I'll also leave in the lie about timely updates.
