Chapter 11 - Kidnapped
Nick's POV...
The whole area was dark, the lights we're turned off. Nick has been unconcious for a few hours now. But until now, he started to open one eye slowly. He looked around to his area and noticed his legs we're tied into a chain, he tried to move his arms but they we're also tied into some chains. His tail as well. Nick also noticed he wasn't in his uniform anymore, and he was just in his tanktop and boxers. Nick was actually chained up inside a basement.
"W-What the hell...!" Nick mumbled, attempting to get out.
Suddenly a light turned on, and the door opened. There was a ladder right next to the door. Nick looked straight into the door which was heard being unlocked. The door opened and two crocodiles we're seen inside, with a bat.
"Well If It isn't police officer Nicholas Wilde." One of the crocodiles smirked while smacking his bat slowly onto his hands.
Nick glared at them, still finding a way to get out.
"Don't even try it fox. The boss will be here soon to deal with you." The other crocodile glared at Nick. Nick was not intimidated by any of them.
Eventually the boss arrived. It was a giant lion with a green tuxedo. Now Nick was intimidated by how strong the lion looked.
"You..." The lion went over to Nick and stared at him deeply in the eyes.
"The heck do you want?" Nick looked at him back with a glare.
"You know what I want." The lion cracked his fingers.
"I don't know what you need, and I am NOT giving you anything." Nick growled at him.
"You don't know? You really don't know? It should be obvious." The lion chuckled.
"No. You aren't being helpful." Nick said.
"You're the reason this whole town is collapsing." The lion accused him.
"ME? IT'S YOU." Nick was starting to get irritated now.
"No. I am not the bad guy you're looking for." The lion said.
"Clearly you are. You hit, tied up and stripped open a police officer. That, is against the law!" Nick was now accusing him for his crimes.
The lion reached onto his shirt pocket, he pulled out a picture of Omid.
"Why... Why do you have a picture of my son?!" Nick gasped.
"Your son, is the reason this town is like this." The lion accused him once again now.
"You're ridiculous. How can he be the reason for this?" Nick scoffed, rolling his eyes in the process.
"Because I. Brought him to this world, to kill him and use him for experiments." The lion said.
"You don't mean..." Nick's eyes widened, Nick knew the answer he was about to get.
"Humans are real. And I managed to summon one. You understand? I've been looking for him this whole time, and thankfully you found him." The lion smiled at him.
"Ridiculous you are. That's not how it works." Nick said.
"You believe those books on the library? Are you serious? YOU are ridiculous." The lion laughed at Nick.
"I chose not to believe your foolishness for this. My son may be a human, but you sure as hell did not summon him!" Nick said and growled.
"Oh but I am his creator after all, giving him life and such'." The lion smiled.
"That's not how it works!" Nick said.
"I don't care. Now. You're going to be a nice fox, and give us the kid. If you want this town to be out of harm." The lion threathened him.
"Over my dead body." Nick growled, trying to pull himself out. But It was not working.
"Fellas. Do your job." The lion snapped a finger. The two crocodile's went to Nick and their smirks widened.
The two of them started hitting Nick with their punches, using Nick as a punching bag. They punched a tooth straight out of him, giving Nick a black eye and a bunch of bruises.
The lion snapped a finger once again. The crocodiles retreated back to their positions.
Nick was panthing, gasping for air. Nick was completely bruised now.
"Now. I'm gonna say this again. Give us the kid Wilde. And you will get out of here alive." The lion pulled out a knife from his back.
"I'm not giving you anything. You understand? He's not causing any problems. You are the one causing problems, using illegal technology to summon things from another dimension. What is wrong with you?!" Nick coughed, throwing up a little bit of blood.
"Now you believe me huh? I had help from it. And It worked. And I want what I brought here NOW. That ain't yours." The lion demanded once again.
"You are horrible... You are not touching him ever. I won't let you. I will protect him no matter what. Take me. TAKE ME. Instead of him, take me INSTEAD. Just let him live happily!" Nick said.
"Sadly, he is not worth of value. Not being useful to society, appearing out of nowhere and expecting people to help him. Psh, It's better to put him down." The lion chuckled.
"He is worth a lot, don't you DARE say that. He will grow up to be a fine young man, I will raise him to be a great man. He won't turn out to be hideous like you. Nope. Won't do it. You're not hurting him EVER in your life. Gonna kill him for experiments? Go to hell." Nick glared at him.
"Alright. You leave me no other choice." The lion looked at Nick with a sadist smile. He started rubbing the knife over Nick's arm's and legs. Nick yelped and screamed in pain. The lion was giving Nick cuts and making him bleed.
"Grrra!" Nick was screaming loudly and yelping, not being able to tend his wounds now. He was breathing heavily and groaning in pain.
Judy's POV...
"Hmmm...I'm almost there." Judy looked at some footsteps on the sewer's sidewalk. Her ears suddenly picked up screams of pain and agony.
"Oh my god...that sounds like Nick!" Judy whispered to herself, she knew now that Nick was in trouble. She calmed down now, and started panicking instead.
'God damn it Nick! Now I can't yell at you. But I still WILL! I told you NOT to open the door! This whole place is shady!' Judy was talking to herself on her mind.
She went to her pockets and quickly grabbed her walkie-talkie and started talking on it, dialing up the ZPD.
"Hello?" Clawhauser's voice was heard from it.
"Oh my god! Send back-up Claw. Please!" Judy was panicking.
"Judy?! Are you in trouble?!" Clawhauser sounded worried.
"Yes. But Nick is in trouble the most! Please send help, as soon as possible! And please call to the Wilde residence! Tell Finnick we're gonna get home late."
"Will do! It'll be there soon. Just- hang on!" Clawhauser said.
"Thank you. I'll try." Judy turned off the walkie talkie and started sprinting to the general direction where the screams we're heard.
She then took a turn to the right and noticed two crocodiles we're looking inside the windows of a basement.
"Oh god. He must be in there." Judy noticed them.
'What am I gonna do now?! Wait...the gun!" Judy noticed she had her gun with her.
Judy sighed. She barely ever uses this thing, but she knows If she does...
"Judy. Be strong. For the sake of Nick you have to do this." She said to herself.
'I know you don't like killing, but. If Nick is in trouble. It's the right thing to do. You trained to be a police officer anyways, this job sometimes require to take it to the next level. Be strong Judy.' She was talking to herself on her mind, trying to calm herself down.
Nick's POV...
Nick wasn't feeling anything anymore. Nick didn't scream anymore. He was fully hurt and his head was lowered down, suffering and suffering from all the bruises he's received. He was only bruised, nothing too big.
"We can keep this going all day Wilde." The lion put the knife up to his throat region.
"Kill me if you want. You'll regret it until the end of time. But you are never in your life touching my son." Nick growled at him.
"Stop acting tough buddy. I'm not killing you at all, just gonna give you a miserable time until you give us the kid." The lion was about to push the knife further until...
"BOSS. WE HAVE VISITORS." A gunshot went through the window, breaking it completely.
"Damn it. They found out. You idiots I told you to secure the area, now we're found! You two, take this!" The lion turned around from Nick and dropped some keys from his pocket. He threw the guns to the crocodiles and they grabbed it. The lion turned back and looked at Nick, not noticing his keys fell out.
"I'll give you a week Wilde. In a week, If you don't bring the child to me. Your whole family, friends, and this whole town will collapse and dissapear. Remember that Wilde! I'm giving you a week. You don't know what else I'm capable of. So don't take long alright? I'll be waiting for my reward. You better keep this between us. You reveal who I was, your whole life will be gone the next day. Now. Sayonara." The lion waved goodbye to him. He went up the ladder and left the area. Nick saw the keys and quickly thought of an idea.
A bullet was heard going into a crocodile. Screaming and pain could be heard from the outside.
"Who on earth could be here to rescue me?!" Nick mumbled to himself.
Nick looked behind him and noticed his tail, he spat on it as many times as possible. His tail was now slippery and he succesfully slipped it out of the chains. He used his tail to grab the keys. With his tail he placed the key on the lock's on his arms and opened it. His arms we're now free. He grabbed the keys now and took off the cuffs from his legs. Nick was now finally free, but in a critical condition. Nick was about to fall to the ground and cry, but he sucked it up. He went straight to the door. He opened it..
He quickly saw Judy struggling to get the crocodile off her, her gun was way in the distance and the crocodiles guns we're on the ground. The crocodile was choking Judy. Nick growled and with his last few energy left he ran and pushed the crocodile away, he grabbed the gun right next to him and shot him right in the stomach. Pushing him away and leaving him there. The two crocodiles we're now defeated. But their boss, has escaped and was not present in the area.
Judy's POV...
Judy took a few deep breath's and then she saw Nick was half naked, with only his shredded tank top and boxers on.
"Nick!" Judy went to him to give him a hug, Nick turned around and smiled. He fell down to the ground before Judy could catch him.
"Oh god. Nick! Please! Wake up!" Judy gasped and was shaking him, she noticed he had lots of bruishes and was bleeding too much now.
"Nicholas! Please! Anyone! Help!" Judy started to cry. A bunch of voices could be heard coming down from the sewers. It was the whole ZPD.
"Judy!" Chief Bogo ran to her. But she did not respond.
"Oh god, Nick." Then an officer elephant noticed him, they grabbed Nick with care and Judy looked up.
"Judy, come on. Let's go now." One of the officers patted her back.
"B-But the criminals." Judy wiped her tears away.
"They're being taken care of now." Chief passed by and pointed to the officers who we're handcuffing and grabbing the hurt crocodiles.
"And Nick?! I can't lose him!" Judy panicked a bit.
"We're taking him to the hospital as soon as possible." Chief said trying to assure her.
"I don't even know what happened to him. He came from inside that room. And I just, I need to know what really happened once he wakes up. If, he makes it." Judy sniffled.
"We'll get to investigate that now. Just know, Nick will be alright. Alright? You know he's a strong man." Chief Bogo smiled.
"Please, let me go with Nick." Judy said.
"Go with him then." Chief pointed to the elephant who was carrying Nick.
"Thank you Chief. Hopefully, one of these two croco's is the mad scientist." Judy started to walk away from the area now.
"Yeah. Hopefully." Chief said.
The whole are was filled with police officer's everywhere, investigating every single bit of the area. Looking for clues and such.
Chief Bogo went into the basement area where Nick got out. He looked at some footsteps leading to a ladder. He knew this was needed for evidence so he took pictures of it and saved them, for future reference. He quickly opened a drawer in one of the dressers in the basement and cleaned up the footsteps before anyone could come inside. He sighed and put it back where it was, looking untouched. He noticed the ladder as well. He climbed it up and opened the trap door, he noticed there was someone inside the room.
"Shhh, don't tell you're disguised." The green tuxedo lion was hiding up there, trying to make an escape. Bogo winked at him and gave him some directions with his hands. The lion thanked him, opening one of the windows and Bogo knew he was taking too long here, so he closed the trap door and locked it.
Eventually a few officers went inside and noticed the place where Nick was being held captive. A bit of sweat and some minor blood on the areas. They began investigating inside now.
An officer was about to head up the trap door.
"I already checked. There's no one." Bogo said.
The officer noded and began investigating the whole bottom area instead. Bogo stayed near the ladder, like if he was guarding it with his whole life.
Something fishy, is going on now.
Chapter 11 END.
