Chapter 25 Protective

"Mooooommmm...I thought you said when I came to work this would be cool!"
Judy rolled her eyes . Alicia was beyond bored as they made their way into the bank, avoiding the larger mammals wandering the grandiose lobby of the establishment. The little vixen huffed, yet continued holding Judy's paw. "Not everything in police work is chasing criminals, Sweetie. The paperwork has to get done."
"Alright..." Alicia glanced around the grandiose building, temporarily distracted by the golden chandeliers, marble counters...
Clink, clink, clink...
...and the odd can looking device that impala tossed across the floor towards them.
"Mom, what's that?"
Judy turned, her eyes going wide before she grabbed Alicia and pushed her behind her before a blinding flash lit the area as a concussive force blasted Judy backwards, the rabbit hugging her and Nick's kit. A few groggy seconds later found Judy shaking her head.
"EVERYONE ON THE GROUND NOW!"
Several large mammals in black ski masks ran through the building, pointing weapons at anyone near them. When a rhino pointed a shotgun, to what Judy and Alicia was a cannon, at the pair, Judy pushed Alicia behind her. "Is that a fox?" the rhino snarled. "Oh, move away bunny butt, I'm going to cap this one for funsies."
Judy's eye twitched.
Nick arrived at the scene of the bank robbery within minutes, the panic stricken fox dashing past the yellow police tape, skidding to a stop only to look frantically around. He sprinted off again when he saw a grey rabbit clutching an...ecstatic looking Alicia?
The tod wrapped both in a hug, peppering them with kisses and questioning if they were okay, if they were hurt. Judy wrapped her arms around her husband, feeling the adrenaline from the prior minutes cooling off. It was only then Nick looked around and saw them...
A gazelle in a ski mask with his head through a potted plant, dirt caking his horns.
The rhino stuck halfway through a concrete wall.
And finally, distracted by the creaking sound above, he spotted a cougar and a lion, tied together from their tails, spinning from the ceiling fan.
"Judy..." Nick said in astonishment. "What happened here?"
"They threatened Alicia..." Judy murmured while still hugging Nick. "And nobody threatens our family."
Nick turned to Alicia, who was sporting the biggest smile ever before bursting into giggles. "THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!"
