A Son of his own Chapter 11: Press conference chaos

An Easter egg is in this chapter for a story I might do in the future, if you spot it, send your PM and let me know if you want me to do it or not.

Nicks apartment, Savannah Central, 9:00AM

Nick had Nathan close to him, he had his fluffy tail covering him and they both slept peacefully.

Nick then began to slowly open his eyes, he looked down and saw his son against his chest while his arms and tail covered him, nearly hiding him.

Nick smiled and gently licked Nathan's head instinctively.

Nathan then opened his eyes and let out a soft yawn.

"Good morning Nathan, sleep well?" Nick said as he kissed Nathan's head.

"Yeah, some time we had together right?" Nathan said as he preened against his dad's chest.

"Yeah, but, you got clawed and tased, I wish it was me" Nick said with sympathy.

"Well, it's not the first time I got clawed" Nathan said.

"Yeah, but let's put the past away and move on shall we? I've some pizza in the fridge we can have for breakfast, sound like a deal?" Nick said as he undone the covers.

"Yeah, I've never had pizza for breakfast before" Nathan said as he and Nick hopped out of the bed and got dressed.

Nick was in his usual clothing, a green Hawaiian shirt with palm leaves, a red and blue tie with grey slacks while Nathan wore a blue shirt with white pants.

They both walked to the kitchen and Nick got some pizza out of the fridge, put it in the cooker and let it cook the pizza.

Nathan sat down on the couch and turned in the TV to see news of the solved missing mammals case.

"According to ZPD officials, new ZPD Officer Judy Hopps and 2 witnesses solved the missing mammals case yesterday, careful planning and strategic leads gave these three mammals the upper paw in solving this case, there'll be a press conference today at the ZPD at 10:00AM, in other news, space telescopes have reported sightings of strange looking satellites floating around Jupiter and its moon Europa, scientists are still discussing if this is either alien contact or simply space debris" the ZNN news report said.

Nathan switched it to another channel and a show about Morning cooking and baking was on and it was being hosted by a Tigress.

Nick through two pizza slices to the table and set them and the two foxes started munching on the pepperoni and cheese pizza.

While Nick munched on his pizza, he looked at Nathan's bandages and saw that the wound inflicted was healed up.

"Son, hold still for a moment" Nick said as he attempted to take the bloody bandage off.

Nick removed the bandage and Nathan shedded a few tears when he did.

Nick noticed this and quickly wiped the tears away with his padded fingers.

"You alright?" Nick asked gently as he rubbed the back of Nick's head.

"Yeah, ish" Nathan said gently.

Nick started to get that feeling again, a feeling he couldn't describe, it was happiness, comfort, caring, warmth, all in the same basket.

"Let's finish our pizza, get our teeth brushed and comb our hair shall we?" Nick said as he and Nathan finished their pizza and walked to the bathroom.

The both washed their faces, brushed their teeth and combed their head fur, they looked ready for action.

"Well, the conference doesn't start for a while, what do you wanna do?" Nathan said.

"Nothing I can think of, I'm still a little exhausted after that case we done" Nick said as he and Nathan walked into the living room.

"Well, I'm starting to feel, a little, sleepy" Nathan said as he nearly fell onto the floor but Nick catched him before he faceplanted.

"I guess we'll nap the time away, nothing wrong with that" Nick said as he lay down on the couch, set an alarm on his phone and fell asleep with Nathan at his side.

1 and a half hours later...

Nicks phone started to vibrate and the two foxes woke up in fright.

"It's 10:30, we better get going" Nick said as he got up.

Nathan got up and the two foxes left the apartment building and walked to the Precinct 1 building.

As they reached the Precinct 1 building, they noticed the amount of news vans parked outside the Precinct 1.

Ranging from tall cars for giraffes to smaller vehicles for beavers and mice.

They had the news logos like ZNN, 9 news now, Channel 5 and Good Morning Zootopia.

Nick and Nathan walked inside and Judy was waiting for them at the reception desk as news reporters and camera mammals looked and waited at the podium.

"Oh hey guys!" Judy said as she ran over to the two foxes.

"Hey carrots, what's been happening?" Nick asked as he walked with Nathan to Judy.

"Not much, just more and more news reporters walking in, how's Nathan doing?" Judy said as she looked at Nathan and noticed his missing bandages.

"He's holding in there, he's still a bit fatigued but he'll be fine" Nick said.

Just as Judy was about to walk up to the podium, snarling was heard.

One of the news reporters who was a lion started snarling and going on all fours.

"RUN! HE'S GONE SAVAGE!" voices throughout the entire Precinct shouted as the lion started roaring.

Judy immediately realised this and ran off to set off the alarms.

Everyone started running as the lion attempted to attack the news reporters but knocked over some microphone boxes which made an ear piercing sound that caused him to run out of the building.

Just as Nick grabbed Nathan's paw and turned around, they both saw a familiar face.

Somehow, Manchas got out of his cage from the back and a metal chain collar was hanging from his neck, he didn't look happy to see Nick and Nathan.

"Dad?" Nathan said with a scared tone.

"Don't, make eye contact" Nick said as he slowly backed up.

Manchas snarled as he kept into the air and Nick and Nathan ran as fast as they could before Nathan tripped and scraped his padded feet, leaving him crying in pain. Nick rushed over to help him but Manchas knocked his over to the wall, knocking him out cold.

"Dad!" Nathan cried as he came face to face with Manchas again who snarled angrily as he came closer to Nathan, Nathan closed his eyes and waited for what was imminent.

But then he heard an aggressive growl and a sharp of pain.

Nathan opened his eyes and saw that it was the savage wolf from Cliffside Asylum that made friends with him, he launched at Manchas and knocked him out.

He then rushed over to Nathan and gently sniffed him.

But then he grabbed Nathan by the scruff of his neck and started dragging him out of the Precinct, he didn't try to fight it.

Chief Bogo and Judy ran into the reception room which was an absolute mess of smashed furniture and paper and saw Nathan being dragged away by the savage wolf.

"Nathan!" Judy shouted as Chief Bogo took out his tranquilizer pistol and aimed it at the wolf.

"No! You might hit Nathan!" Judy said, trying to prevent the Chief from shooting the wolf.

Chief Bogo fired anyways and missed the wolf and Nathan, he let out a silent curse and ran back into the room he came from.

Nathan tried to grab the door knob but ended up ripping it off as the wolf refused to let his prisoner go and charged out of the building.

Just ran over to Nick and shouted "Nick! Nick! Wake up!"

Nick moaned as he opened his eyes and asked "What happened?"

"I have no clue" Judy said.

Nick looked around and saw that Nathan was nowhere to be seen.

"Nathan?! Where's Nathan?!" Nick shouted.

"Gone, the same wolf at the Asylum took him away" Judy said.

Nick and Judy rushed to the front door and looked at the outside if the Precinct but Nathan and the wolf were nowhere to be seen, the only clue they had was Nathan's ripped shirt which hung on the door knob as Nick took it off and felt his heart break with sadness as he had no idea where his son was.

"Nathan, please stay safe" Nick said as he shedded a tear.
