Well I guess it's time to once again thank all of you for the support and reviews you all are awesome, XD
Nick pov
The days seemed to drag on his only excitement was Judy and Fin visiting him and the occasional inappropriate joke he told the nurses, Nick has been in the hospital for three days now, he was in pain but as long as he left his arm in the sling and didn't move his injured shoulder/arm he could tolerate it and made out just fine. Nick sat up in bed it was still early the clock on the bed table displayed 6:00 AM. Sighing Nick put on clean clothes, Fin had brought him fresh clothes since he no longer had to wear his hospital gown, his grey cargo shorts went on easy but the button proved to be rather difficult only being able to use one arm, after a short struggle he got it buttoned up sighing he looked at his button up green Hawaiian shirt, "...Thanks, Fin..." grabbing the shirt he done up the bottom few buttons with some success, smiling he slid the shirt over his head and put his good arm through the sleeve. Nick made his way to the mirror looking at himself he admired the deep v of the mostly unbuttoned shirt with his injured arm tucked inside.
Nick made his way to the nurse at the front desk Nick eyed her up she was rather attractive for being a tiger, "Goodmorning beautiful, What are the odds of me getting out today?"
The tiger blushed, "Mr. Wilde you should really be resting, as for you getting released I will notify your doctor and he can decide."
"Damn, it's just so damn boring staring at the same four walls... I don't think I have had the pleasure of meeting you I'm Nick," He started offering her his good paw.
The tigers stood up putting her paw in Nicks, "I'm Kate."
Nick smiled kissing the back of her paw gently, "Charmed."
"NICK!" Judy stood there shocked.
Nick froze, "I can explain..."
Judy put a paw up, "Save it."
"I told him to go back to bed I didn't want him to strain anything," The nurse intervened.
"Yeah he wanted to strain something alright," Judy muttered as she crossed her arms.
Nick covered the distance between Judy and himself, "Judy it was harmless fun if I have to stare at the same walls any longer ill shoot myself."
Judy turned her head away from Nick, "And to think I had reservations at Den Ala Fox for our anniversary tonight," With that Judy turned on her heels and left Nick standing there.
Nick cried out, "Judy wait, I'm sorry JUDY."
Turning to the nurse Nick frantically announced, "I have to get out of here, I have to fix this please!"
The nurses face filled with empathy, "I will call your friend Fin he can fill out your dismissal form and grab your things, now go after her."
"Thank you so much," Nick said before he ran after Judy.
Once outside of the hospital Judy punched him in his good shoulder, "I see my plan worked slick."
Nick laughed, "I have to admit that was pretty genius, you know you would make a good con-artist."
Judy laughed, "Oh how dare you, come on let's get out of here."
Nick smiled, "Where should we go?"
Judy looked puzzled, "I don't know... I normally have so much to do with work."
Nick smiled, Judy had been given time off to process recent events, Nick held out his good paw "My place it is."
Judy smiled taking it in her own paw, "Sounds good to me."
They walked making idle chit chat and slowly watching the Zootopia wake up as the sun rose higher, finally Judy turned to Nick, "Nick we need to talk about something... Jack Hopps the one who shot you is still out there, Bogo still wants a detailed report I have to tell him he was after you for your safety, they will probably put you under police protection."
Nick kissed her forehead gently holding it for a few seconds, "You are so cute when you worry about me, I understand Judy you need to report it, but I won't stand by and watch while a phyco is out there abducting innocent animals."
Judy looked at Nick stunned, "Nick," She spoke softly, "I had no idea you felt this way."
Nick smiled giving her paw a squeeze, "It just feels like the right thing to do, he has to pay for what he's done."
Judy smiled, "If that's what you need... let's find him."
Nick grinned, "Where do we start?"
Judy's eyes light up, "Well there has to be some connection between him and those he kidnapped so we need the files of those he took Clawhauser can get me those, we know he wanted you and Fin tho..." She turned to Nick, he could see the concern in her eyes, "Nick do you know why?"
Nick hated seeing her so worried, smiling he reassured her, "No I don't."
Judy gave him a half-hearted smile, "Okay Nick, how's your shoulder?"
Nick looked at his arm in the sling there was a constant dull ache of pain in his shoulder but as long as he didn't move it or focus on the pain he was fine, "Well other than having a huge hole in it I'm fine."
Judy rolled her eyes, "Come on you know I'm grateful for you saving me," She let out a sigh and sarcastically continued, "You are my hero and like totally the hottest fox ever... like damn."
Nick chuckled, "Glad you are so enthusiastic and gracious to the one who literally took a bullet for you."
"Oh come on Nick you playing that card is going to get old really quick..." Judy groaned.
Nick kissed the top of her head gently then whispered, "You just don't like that you're in my debt."
Judy sighed, "I'm the police officer I was sworn to protect you and I let you go into a dangerous situation."
Nick chuckled, "I did what I had to, you would have done the same I'm sure."
Judy smiled looking up at him, "Thanks, Nick."
Judy's phone received a notification, "It's Clawhauser he said that someone will drop off the files tomorrow"
Nick rolled his eyes, "And here I thought that you were on stress leave and told not to work for a while?"
Judy scrunched her face up briefly at him, "Oh shush you."
Judy pov
The two foxes finally made it to Nicks bridge in the park, since they were in no hurry they stopped for lunch and picked up food for dinner all during their scenic route, Judy took a seat out in the sun by a crate/end table Judy watched over her shoulder as Nick disappeared in the shadows under the bridge, suddenly her phone began ringing, it was her parents, quickly she accepted the video call, "Oh hey it's my parents," She smiled nervously.
"Hey there Jude, we just saw on the news that there was a fox injured in a police matter something about kidnapping," Her parents responded.
Judy's eyes widened, "Oh yeah that... I'm okay, I wasn't the one shot."
Her mom cut her off, "Oh my Judy you were there, I told you it was dangerous."
Judy sighed, "Yes I was there I was looking into the kidnapping."
This time her father cut her off, "Alone?"
"No dad, Nick was there," She managed to get out
"WHO THE HELL IS THIS NICK," Her father roared.
"Is he your police partner?" Her mom asked.
"um... well," Judy cleared her throat, "No Nick isn't an officer, I met him on my first day and he asked me to help when his friend was kidnapped."
Nick peeked over Judy's shoulder and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
Judy turned to look at him startled she replied, "My parents."
"Judy who was that?" Her dad asked.
Nick moved his face closer to Judy so they were both on the camera, "I'm Nick, Judy's boyfriend."
Judy's dad responded in shock, "Judy's WHAT?"
Her parents gasped, "Judy his shoulder was he shot?"
Nick grinned deviously, "Sure was, took a bullet for Judy."
"Judy we told you it was dangerous, you need to come home now it's not safe..."
Judy panicked, "I have to go we can talk some other time and I'm not going home," sighing she ended the call and scowled at Nick, "Are you happy now? and since when do you think were dating mister?"
Nick chuckled as he set up his own lawn chair beside Judy, "I am very happy, thank you for asking and I kinda figured since I you know took a bullet for you, you know?"
Judy crossed her arms and stared away from Nick, "ass," she mumbled.
Both foxes heard a vehicle approach it was Fin his van coughed and sputtered until it came to a stop, out came the small fox as he made his way to them he yelled, "Yo I brought your shit, and I'm not too impressed with you leaving me with all that paperwork."
Nick laughed, "Hey it was Judy's idea."
Judy shot Nick a look, " Thanks for throwing me under the bus."
Fin scowled at her, "Damn cop," He muttered.
Judy glared back, "Damn crook."
Fin laughed at that, "Man you alright for a five'O hey Nick hows the arm?"
Nick glanced at his injured arm, "Still hurts."
Fin asked, "Didn't they give you any of the good shit?"
Nick sighed, "No the prescription won't be ready until tomorrow."
Fin smiled mischievously, "You know I have a herbal remedy for that."
"Don't think now's the time for that Fin," He said looking at Judy.
"Ah suit yourself," Fin grumbled as he went back to his van
Judy looked at Nick, "Whats up with him?"
Nick flicked on the aviators and shrugged as the small fox returned with a chair and a bong, in the shape of a white bone, that he put on the crate before dragging it into the middle of the three chairs, Judy's eyes widened at the sight.
Fin laughed as he lit up, Nick asked him, "Fin what the hell are you doing? She's a cop, that's illegal."
Fin exhaled, "Ah whatever she's off duty besides we've got her for breaking and entering anyways, so stop being a Lil bitch and light up you will feel better," He held out the lighter.
Nick shook his head but to his surprise, Judy grabbed the lighter and bong both the boys stared at her wide eyed, "What I'm on stress leave, right?" With that Judy took a toke herself and almost instantly began coughing, the guys just laughed at her.
Nick still laughing told her, "You are so cute and innocent," Before he began smoking as well.
Judy :O I for one am shocked
I still haven't really decided if my other story Strange Land will be a sequel to this one, on another note, this will eventuraly be coming to an end I might do a little about Nick joining the force or something. XD
