Personally this my favorite chapter out all 11. Hope you guys love this chapter as much as do. Chapter 12's ending will be decided Thursday.
Chapter 11: A chance to be proven innocent
Its December, 24, 2016, and 10:05 A.M. in Zootopia. The ZPD looks professional outside but, inside there are an enormous amount of Christmas decorations everywhere. Judy and Harris are currently in Judy's boxed office making-out in front of her Bunny size desk. Judy pushed Harris back to talk to him.
"Harris we should really be more professional in the ZPD." Judy said.
"True but, then it would be less fun." Harris responded with a grin on his face.
Judy had a huge smile on her face. Before they could continue somebody knocked on Judy's door. Judy quickly pushed Harris away from her. "Come in." Judy said.
Silver entered into Judy's office. "Hey Judy could we talk in private real quick." Silver asked.
"Sure thing Silver. Harris I don't mean to be rude but, could you..." Judy was cut before she could finish.
"It's alright Judy. I'm sure it's something important you ZIA agents need to talk about." Harris said before leaving Judy's office.
After Harris left Silver turned to Judy. "So I heard Nicole took Christmas Eve, and Day off is that true?" Silver asked Judy.
"Yea it's true. It was actually a good thing she did now I can stay at my desk, and finish all my paperwork that is way overdue." Judy answered.
"Yea but, perhaps you should go see Nick. Right now he could use the moral support." Silver said.
"Why what happen to Nick?" Judy asked in a concerned voice.
"You know he was muzzled when he was 11 by the Junior Ranger Scouts. However, that same year on Christmas his Dad was arrested for robbery on a jewelry store. His father pleaded innocent but, the court ruled him guilty. Nick was torn up that day. Nicole was only 5 that year. Long story short the last 21 years Nick has been trying to find the other Fox who set his Dad up." Silver answered.
Judy's ears went down after hearing that story. "Alright I'll go check on him." Judy said.
Judy went one floor up where Nick's office was. The moment she entered Judy found papers all over the ground, empty coffee cups, and on the right side on the wall had papers stabled to the wall with red string going from one picture to the other. She noticed a picture of a Black Fox with green eyes at the very top of all the papers with red string wrapped around the entire picture. All the papers are about the case of Joseph Wilde's arrest case. One picture had its name in huge big red letters, and it was surrounded by red string as well. The name of the Black Fox with purple eyes is Christopher Wilde. Judy turned to Nick's desk finding him asleep with his head on the desk.
Judy walked right up to Nick's left side. She put her right hand on Nick's left shoulder, and shook it. "Hey Nick wake up you fell asleep." Judy said in a low soft voice.
Nick's head went up instantly. "Wait, what happen? Oh great I fell asleep! Like that's goanna get my Dad out of jail!" Nick said in angry voice.
"Nick Silver told me what happen to your Dad." Judy told Nick.
Nick turned to Judy. "Yea well I've been looking for my uncle for the last 21 years. Now I'm 32 years old, and I'm no closer to finding him now." Nick said before slamming the bottom of his muzzle on his desk.
"Why are you looking for your uncle?" Judy asked.
"Because before my Dad left the house that night he said he was goanna meet up with Uncle Christopher. Dad said that had to talk about something important." Nick answered in a depressed voice.
"Is there a possibility he is guilty?" Judy asked.
Nick turned his head to Judy with a "seriously" face. "My Dad just wanted to open an auto repair shop. He would never do that!" Nick responded.
Judy with a shocked face raised her hands right in front of her to keep Nick back. "Hey I was just considering every possibility Nick." Judy said.
Nick sit back down, and lowered his ears with a sad face. "I'm sorry Judy. It's just for the last 21 years I have looked for Christopher. Ever sense that day he's been underground." Nick said before slamming the bottom of his muzzle on his desk again.
After getting an idea for a possible lead Judy's ears instantly went up. "Maybe there's somebody in town who can help. However, we goanna have to get dressed for this place. Plus you need a serious shower Nick. When was the last time you showered? Judy asked before pinching her nose.
"Alright carrots I'll get showered, and dressed." Nick responded before leaving his office.
Judy waited 15 minutes in her new Gray Chevrolet Camaro 2013. Judy is now wearing a gray shirt, black leather jacket, and black leather pants. Finally Nick entered into the car on the passenger seat. Judy observed what Nick was wearing. Nick is wearing a black suit with light gray lines, his dress pants are black with light gray lines, shirt black, and his tie is red. Judy's eyes opened wider than ever before. Nick turned to Judy seeing her expression.
"What carrots you surprised I can look gangster to?" Nick asked in a smart ass tone. Judy rolled her eyes, and started the car. "So tell me carrots what exactly this lead of yours is?" Nick asked Judy.
"We're going to visit Wild Bill in his club." Judy said before hitting the gas pedal making them drive right out of the ZPD garage.
Through half way through the trip they didn't talk one bit. Finally Nick turned on the radio. The first song he heard is Fall Out Boy Centuries. Judy turned to Nick with her right eyebrow raised. "What carrots you don't like the song?" Nick asked Judy. Judy then turned the song to maximum volume blasting off the speakers. Judy then turned back to the front of the car but, Nick's face now had a huge smirk on his face. Finally they reached Tundra Town. Judy parked the car in ally right in front of the night club. Judy then turned off the car.
"How do we know Wild Bill won't kill us the moment we walk in?" Nick asked Judy.
"Because I have at least 3 SWAT reams ready to storm the club if he tries anything." Judy answered.
"I'm guessing super boyfriend helped you with that." Nick said.
Judy turned to Nick with a "seriously" face. "No I asked Chief Bogo to set up the SWAT teams Nick." Judy said before leaving the car.
When Nick exited the car both Nick, and Judy started walking to the club. They walked on the side of the line all the way to the front door. The bouncer this time is a Lion wearing a gray suit, and no tie. Nick and Judy just showed their badges to the Lion. He then let them both in. The club was booming with the song Radioactive. Finally they found Wild Bill in a table counting all the money he has on the table.
"Bill we need to talk." Judy said.
Wild Bill then turned to Judy. "Wow Bunny I have got to say you look good in leather. You know I could use a girl as fine, and skilled as you in my business." Wild Bill said.
"I don't think so. Look we need info on a Fox named Christopher Wilde." Nick said.
Wild Bill turned to Nick with his left eyebrow raised up. "What's your beef with your own uncle?" Wild Bill asked Nick.
"December 25, 1995 my Dad was arrested with charges of robbery. However, my Dad has no memory of that night. That same night he went to go visit my uncle. If there is anybody who can prove my Dad is innocent it's my uncle. Now where is he?" Nick said with a serious face.
Wild Bill then put down his money in his hand. "Why should I help you two. Last time your girlfriend here took out two of my boys, and didn't pay me." Wild Bill responded.
"Because there are three SWAT teams ready to storm this place. But, if you tell us where he is then those SWAT teams could go away." Nick answered.
"Fine he's in a hotel room in the Canal District. He collects debt money, and mails it to me. He's lives in room 312." Wild Bill answered.
"Now was that so hard." Nick said in a smart ass tone.
The moment Nick and Judy left the club, and got into the car Judy sent a message to the SWAT teams. Within 5 seconds three SWAT teams stormed the entire club. Judy started the car, and hit the gas pedal. In 5 minutes they reached the hotel. Judy went up to the third floor alone, and knocked on the door. When the door opened Christopher wearing gray shirt, and sweat pants went flying out running. Judy chased him to the parking lot. Then out of nowhere Nick slams right into Christopher. While Christopher was still on his hands, and knees Nick kneed him in the head. After doing that Nick grabbed out his hand cuffs. After putting on the hand cuffs Nick picked up Christopher on his feet.
"Wow Uncle Christopher it's been such a long time." Nick said with a really angry voice.
"Nick what you a cop now?" Christopher asked with a scratchy voice.
"Yea I'm, and you're under arrest." Nick answered.
The moment Nick brought Christopher to the ZPD they put him in the interrogation room. Harris was the main person asking the questions. But, Christopher would not break. After 15 minutes of watching them talk Judy turned to Nick. Not only did Judy see Nick but, Nicole was right next to him. They both have serious angry faces. Judy wanted to say something to them. However, she couldn't even think of anything to say to them. Then Chief Bogo entered the room, and Harris left. Bogo then sat in front of Christopher putting a camera in front of Christopher already recording the conversation.
"I won't admit to anything cop." Christopher said.
"Really because when we arrested Wild Bill we found his black book." Bogo said taking out a black book. "This book has every illegal drug trade you did for him. Even some of your jobs on beating civilians because they couldn't pay their debts. All this evidence is enough to put you in jail for the rest of your life. Or, I could show the Feds the names of the animals you murdered. Then you could be sent to federal prison. Even better you could be put to death. But, if you admit you were the one who rubbed that jewelry store instead of your brother then you could do life in prison not in general population. So that way you can avoid a massive beating from the guys there." Bogo said.
Christopher lowered his head for a second. Then he raised it up his head to the camera. "My name is Christopher Wilde. On December 24, 1995 my brother Joseph Wilde came to my apartment under the impression I needed his help to fix my car. But, really I stole a drug that was made by John Overhill. I modified the gas so Joseph would listen to my commands, and so wouldn't remember anything. I ordered him to steal from that jewelry store. I ran away with the jewels, and ordered my brother to leave behind DNA so the cops think he was the master mind." Christopher said to the camera.
Both Judy and Nicole had huge smiles on their faces. They both turned to Nick seeing the huge surprised smile on his face. "I did it. Our Dad is coming home for Christmas Nicole." Nick said.
Nicole's eyes started tearing up. "Yes Nick he is coming home for Christmas."
It's December 25, Christmas morning. Joseph Wilde just walked out of prison wearing a new brown suit with, and tie. When Joseph looked to his left he found his son Nick Wilde wearing a green Hawaiian shirt, black tie, and black pants. Nick is leaning on Silver's Austin Martin he let Nick borrow. Joseph walked right in front of Nick.
"Son I'm so proud of you." Joseph said before his eyes started tearing up.
Nick eyes started tearing up. "It's good to have you back Dad." Nick said before giving his Dad a big hug. After that nice moment Nick and Joseph drove to Marry Wilde's (Nick, and Nicol's mom) home.
Finally they reached the house in Savana Central. It's a fox size house. The house is painted gray with a silver roof top. The living room took up half the house. In the next room was your typical kitchen/dining room set up. Down the hall way from the kitchen is the rooms, and 2 bathrooms. When Nick and Joseph entered they smelled egg nog, and Christmas dinner. When they entered the Kitchen they found Judy, Nicole, and Silver waiting for them to eat dinner. But, then a Red Fox with yellow eyes wearing a white low skirt silk dress came out.
"You kept that old dress Marry?" Joseph asked.
"It's the same dress I wore when we first met that day at prom. I could never throw it away Joseph." Marry said before kissing Joseph on the lips.
Finally they all sat for Christmas dinner. The whole day they talked. When they exchanged gifts everybody was happy. Joseph got some nice colon. Marry got a new dress. Silver, and Nicole gave each other ugly sweaters. Judy gave Nick a new blue Hawaiian shirt. Nick gave Judy an open-able gold hearted necklace. Judy loved her gift from Nick.
After the day was over everybody left to go home. Judy drove Nick home. Finally they reached the hotel Nick lives in. "Judy I know I missed my moment to be with you. But, I just wanted to say Harris is a lucky Bunny. I'm glad you're happy Judy." Nick said. Judy turned her head away for a second. Then she felt a kiss on her right cheek. "But, that doesn't mean my feelings for you will go away carrots." Nick whispered in Judy's ear before leaving the car.
The moment Nick closed the door Judy whipped away a small tear from her left cheek. "You're both a dumb, and a sly Fox Nick." Judy said before driving away.
