Tammy Talk
Naomi checked the reservation list for what felt like the 10th time that night. The pretty snow leopard in a white dress blouse let out a soft sigh as she scanned the names and then closed the screen.
"Right…so that's done…again..." Naomi grumbled to herself as she scanned the empty lobby of the swaying grass hotel. The lobby had a bright feel to it, even at night. The white walls and dark green furniture made everything look modern and clean. It was late in the evening so the predator was the only one in the vast lobby.
Naomi took a moment to scan the counter to make sure everything was in order for the day shift that would be arriving in a few hours. Once again she was annoyed with the fact she had gotten everything done.
"Gods why did I take the grave shift manager spot…" The leopard burst out angrily as she pounded her head lightly on the glass counter. She looked up and noticed her fur had smudged the glass. "Well at least I have something to do now…"
Nothing ever happened here late at night. Sure the occasional business mammal would arrive after a late night flight or a group of party mammals would stumble into the building after a night of nocturnal hijinks. Short of that though Naomi would be lucky to see another mammal till the day shift team came and saw her off. The only reason she had taken the boring post was it was the only way to promote herself into the company. At least that's what she had been told. She couldn't help but notice that a certain lioness had no problem getting promoted to the evening manager after being there for only a few months.
"Maybe I need a shorter skirt…or tighter shirt..." Naomi grumbled as she sprayed the smudged glass and proceeded to complete the only task she thought she would have the whole night.
"I don't know, I think you look pretty good from here," Came a playful female voice.
Naomi nearly jumped as she turned around to see who had spoken.
"Sorry! Couldn't help it!" A lovely looking cheetah in a ZPD uniform blurted out as she held up her large paws in defense.
Naomi put a hand to her chest, "Geeze! You are sneaky!"
"Yeah…well I can like that when I am hunting!" The ZPD officer said confidently.
Naomi burst out laughing, "Oh really? And what exactly are you hunting hmm?"
The officer merely smirked and gave the snow leopard a wink which caused Naomi's cheeks to warm, "Oh my gods! Don't push it girl! Your teasing is either gonna get you arrested or handcuffed to a bed!" The leopard thought to herself as she returned to the other side of the counter.
"So what can I do for you this evening officer?" Naomi said, returning to her duties.
"Tammy," The officer said kindly as she leaned against the counter casually, "I need a room for 4 please."
Naomi gave Tammy a kind smile and proceeded to type away at her computer. Tammy grinned as she eyed the snow leopard in front of her. For some reason recently Tammy had been in a rather aggressive mood when it came to other feline predators. She hadn't had nearly as much luck as a certain bunny when it came to finding mammals to have fun with though.
"What species?" Naomi asked as she continued to type away at her keyboard.
"3 bunny and 1 fox" Tammy said with a toothy grin.
Naomi looked up at Tammy and raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah sorry, guess you won't get to deal with me the whole night" Tammy said playfully. Tammy then thought for a second and then realized how odd her reservation had just sounded. "Long story, two of them are officers for the ZPD though! So nothing to worry about!"
"Alright, one moment," Naomi proceeded to type away at the reservation screen.
There was the sound of small paw steps coming from the entrance of the lobby. Tammy and Naomi looked up in time to see Stu and Bonnie walk into the lavish lobby. The two farming mammals looked rather out of place in the hotel. This was amplified by their stunned looks as their wide eyes took in the beautiful design of the lobby.
"Here are two of our guests right now," Tammy said happily as she waved the two Hopps parents over, "Find a parking spot Mr. Hopps?"
"Yes Officer Thompson," Stu said formally as he removed his hat. Tammy couldn't help but let out an internal squeak as she watched the old fashioned gesture of removing a hat indoors.
"Sir please! It's Tammy!" The cheetah said kindly.
"Tammy! Its Bonnie and Stu," Bonnie reminded the cheetah of her own slip up. Tammy rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yes ma'am- sorry yes Bonnie!"
The doe smiled warmly as she and her husband finally reached the front desk which was easily two heads above them.
"For our records I need a name on the reservation" Naomi said as she looked at Tammy and then to the bunnies.
"Hopps," Stu said firmly.
Tammy held up a paw and shook her head, "Sorry Stu, can't put that name down right now, gotta keep a low profile."
Stu was tempted to protest but in the end understood what Tammy was talking about. It caused a flicker of anger inside him though towards the mammals that had kidnapped his daughter.
"I'll put down Smith, it's just for our records," Naomi said quickly as she typed in the false name.
"Thank you Naomi," Tammy said as her eyes went to the leopard's chest and read the nametag for the first time. Obviously not having paid attention to that part of the chest yet.
"No problem Tammy," The predator said sweetly with a wink, "Is there any other special needs at all? I can put them on a floor with fewer guests if that would help the ZPD?"
"It would thank you!" Tammy said, not having thought of the request. The cheetah began to think of other ideas that may help, "Also closest to an elevator or stairwell, preferably no dead ends!"
"I have one that would be perfect actually!" Naomi announced triumphantly, "It's one of our suites! 2 bed rooms, 2 full beds and a queen, also has a nice kitchen and dining area. Bit pricey but I can see what I can do about that. How many nights?"
"Don't worry about the price!" Tammy said happily as she pulled out a bright blue card with the image of a shield on it, "ZPD is covering the bill. As for time frame I am not so sure. Can you put us down for maybe 3?"
"Company card, fancy," Naomi teased as she took the card and began to type the information. "I will be happy to put you down for three, I will also block out the room for a few additional nights in case you need to extend the stay."
"Thank you so much," Tammy said grateful. She then looked over to the Hopps family and gave them a smile. Both the bunnies looked very appreciative for the gesture of the free room.
Tammy gave them a kind nod. She hadn't really had a chance to talk to Judy's parents that much. After the hospital they had headed straight over to the hotel and now was the first time she had a chance to talk to them.
While Naomi continued to set up the reservation Tammy took a moment to speak with the bunnies, "I am sorry for earlier by the way, it was not my place to let slip about what Judy has gone through..."
Both the Hopp's gave the cheetah a surprised look. "Oh dear you have nothing to worry about!" Bonnie said in a motherly fashion.
"Yes! Judy should have told us the day it happened! What was she thinking keeping that kind of stuff from us?" Stu said sternly, the tone directed to the absent Judy and not Tammy.
Before the cheetah could speak Naomi gave Tammy a gentle tap on the arm. As the officer looked over she saw her company card on the counter along with 6 room keys. A small piece of paper and a pen sat on a tray.
"Everything is set up, if you need more room keys I can get them made for you," Naomi announced as she tapped a claw paw on the paper, "If there is anything else don't hesitate to ask!"
"Thanks Naomi you have been amazing!" Tammy said as she quickly signed the receipt. She spied the price and her eyes bulged, the suite must be very nice for costing so much. She hoped Bogo wouldn't mind the expense. "So what time do you get off Naomi?"
"Not till the morning," Naomi said casually, already knowing where the conversation was going. The leopard leaned in close so only Tammy could hear, "and before you get your hopes up I am sorry to report I don't really swing that way."
"Can you blame a girl for trying?" Tammy asked with a slight blush. She quickly grabbed the 6 room keys and tried to escape the embarrassing situation. She paused however when she felt a large white and black paw on her own.
"Of course I would love a coffee and maybe we can talk," She said sweetly. Tammy beamed and nodded. Life wasn't always about meeting felines to hook up with, sometimes it was about coffee with a cute predator.
A few minutes later Tammy and the Hopps were getting situated in the beautiful suite that Judy would probably be calling home for a few days. Tammy thought that if getting mammal napped would land her in such suite digs she may have to give it a whirl sometime. While Stu and Bonnie got settled Tammy texted away to several different numbers. She had informed Bogo of the room she had gotten and apologized in advance for the bill. To her pleasure Bogo brushed off the expense and said he would just take it from Wilde's pay. She then texted Nick and gave him the address of the hotel and the room number. Nick knew of the hotel and was surprised Bogo approved such a big expense but was more than happy to stay on the company dime.
Tammy informed Nick that Bogo had suggested taking the expenses out of Nick's pay. The fox quickly demanded no room service and to start stealing towels. Tammy busted out laughing at the fox's comments. "Oh Judy you really know how to pick'em," She muttered as she took a moment to sit back on the large couch in the suites living room. She looked over at the TV and saw the clock was flashing a series of super low numbers. It was no longer night, it was morning. "Thank you chief for overtime..." Tammy said as she closed her eyes and rested her head back.
"Excuse me Offic-"
"I swear Stu if you call me Thompson!"
"Sorry Tam, old habits," Stu said defensively as he strolled into the room with his wife.
"It's alright sir, it's actually very refreshing to meet someone so polite, we don't get that too much in our line of work," Tammy pointed out as she sat up straight. She gave the two bunnies a friendly smile as they sat down across from her in a very large and comfy looking chair. The bunnies easily shared the furniture and could probably fit another 5 family members on the seat.
"Speaking of line of work," Stu said as he leaned forward. Tammy could already tell this would be interesting. "Is there anything else our daughter hasn't told us? Any high speed chases or gun battl-"
Tammy didn't let Stu finish as she raised a paw, "First off there is something you should know about your daughter."
Both the Hopps 'parents leaned on the edge of their seat, wanting to know everything they could about their daughter and her work.
"She is hands down the best officer in the ZPD! I can't honestly think of a better officer! She is brave, kind, driven, friendly, focused, and a great deal of other nice words!" Tammy began as she brushed off the front of her uniform. Her badge glinting in the light of the room. She felt proud to wear it. She also felt proud knowing that Judy wore one too. "That being said you should know Judy is going to find danger in the city. There is no hiding that fact. But it's important to understand she is the most capable at handling it!"
"What about that army looking guy? Cant mammals like him take care of things instead?" Stu asked, hinting at Delta and the tactical teams.
Tammy let out a soft laugh, "You ask him that when he gets here. I am willing to bet a week's pay even he would say Judy could handle herself better than him. I mean look what happened at the hospital. The guy was running from your daughter! I have done the same thing too! Judy is as tough as nails and even the biggest of preds know their place around her!"
Stu and Bonnie looked at one another and Tammy detected a smile on their faces. She stretched her powerful arms for a second and then continued. "You know I have gotten to know Delta recently. Met him a few times before. He is a nice guy. He told me once that in our line of work things will happen. It's our job. There is no point worrying our families. He said once Never tell them the problem, always tell them the solution."
Bonnie began to nod, "Sounds like a smart mammal."
Tammy shook her head, "No he is an idiot!" Tammy was of course just teasing. "He has his moments though."
Stu seemed to still be unconvinced so Tammy decided to lay it on heavy.
"There is another reason we need Judy here..." Tammy said in a lower voice. Her expression becoming colder. "It's about this case. This cannot leave this room. You cannot let anyone know I told you this!"
Stu and Bonnie gave Tammy a concerned look but both agreed to the cheetah's terms.
Tammy pulled out her cellphone and proceeded to flip through her pictures. When she found the album she was looking for she handed her phone over to Stu. The farmer took the phone in his paws and tilted the screen. The image was of two grinning cheetahs. Both their mouths covered in green mint ice cream, a ferris wheel in the background.
"Beautiful! Is this your daughter?" Stu asked as Bonnie leaned over to take a look.
"She is very lovely!" Bonnie complimented.
Tammy let out a soft chuckle, "No that's not my daughter, well technically not. I treat her like my own though and would do anything for her. That is Angie Tops. Bogo's god daughter"
The confused looks she received at this point made her grin.
"Years ago before Bogo was our chief he was a regular patrol officer like Judy and I. He had a partner like Judy had. A cheetah named Hank Tops," Tammy could already feel the tears forming in her eyes. She did nothing to hide them though. "One night something happened though, Hank gave his life to protect Bogo and the city. He was killed in the line of duty." As tammy spoke she reached over to the phone and pressed a paw to the screen and slid it. Another image of Angie appeared, wearing a bright pink top hat and giggling. The pictures had been taken at a festival of some kind. Image after image showed a beautiful young cheetah. Her smile was bright and friendly. Some images were just of the young predator. Others had Tammy with her arms wrapped around Angie. Occasionally one of Bogo would appear. The Hopps were surprised to see the image of the chief appear in such manners. To them he was Judy's stern and commanding boss. The pictures showed a completely different mammal. He did not even try to look fierce or intimidating. A goofy grin on his face as he held Angie close, the cheetah nuzzling into his side. One picture even had an image of Angie and he with their faces painted, making a series of goofy faces.
"Oh I love those! That was for a family event at Angie's school..." Tammy said as tears poured down her cheek, "she asked me to go! That was the first time…oh my gosh I'm sorry it's just, she told me she thought of me as her mother, paws down greatest moment of my life!"
Bonnie put a paw on her mouth as she tried to keep in a surprised gasp at the news. Stu's lips began to quiver.
"This poor girl lost her mother in child birth. Then her father was taken from her…." Tammy explained. She then took in a deep breath, "And then she was the first predator to be attacked by this new night howler threat..."
"Oh that poor dear! How is she? Is there anything we can do?" Bonnie offered as she reached into her pocket to retrieve a cloth. Stu was practically bawling at this point and Bonnie dabbed her husband's cheeks.
Tammy began to laugh, "You know even for all the hardships she has been through she is still an amazing and wonderful young lady..." Tammy flipped through the pictures and stopped on one where Angie and a handsome looking Zebra were sharing a gentle kiss as they sat on a couch. Tammy slid through several images which played out a funny story. Bogo's head popped up in the background. Each image showing him getting closer and closer until the last image showed him sitting on the couch in-between the two young mammals holding a bowl of chips. A triumphant look on his face as the Zebra gave the chief a weak smile. Angie glaring at her god father for interrupting her fun little moment.
"That was the other day after her now boyfriend Jerry was released from the hospital" Tammy said as she began to laugh. The two distraught bunnies watched the images play out and both seemed to calm down. Stu let out a laugh at Bogo's antics while Bonnie just rolled her eyes.
"Don't get any ideas mister, Judy is an adult!" Bonnie said as she gave her husband a nudge.
Tammy laughed at the thought of Stu getting in between Judy and Nick. She would pay good money to see that actually.
"Don't think of the problems Judy has to face," Tammy began to say, bringing the conversation back to the main topic, "Like Delta said look at the solutions she will help bring. Someone like Judy is just what the city needs to solve its problems. So mammals like Angie ad Jerry can live out the life's they deserve to live. Your daughter is an amazing mammal and I am lucky to count her among my friends. Just know that if she doesn't tell you everything it's not to hurt you. It's so you do not worry about her as she makes the world a better place…"
Stu and Bonnie began to understand where Tammy was coming from. They admitted that though they were both still terrified about Judy being an officer it was nice hearing such kind words about their daughter from one of her coworkers. The conversation changed not long after that. Tammy wanting to try and get some embarrassing stories about Judy from when she was a little kit. Much to her joy Bonnie actually had a few family photos loaded up on her phone. The cheetah almost lost it when she saw the pictures of Judy dressed up as a police officer.
"Oh gosh so doomed from the start eh?" She asked as she kept looking down at the adorable picture.
Stu nodded and gave a shrug, "We tried to warn her, but you know how Judy can be..."
The three mammals sat around and shared a few stories. Tammy was starting to fall in love with the Hopps parents as she listened to them. They were simple folks but were very kind and caring. They constantly asked Tammy about her life and actually seemed interested in what she had to say. At one point she even let slip about her love interests. Admitting she was more interested in female felines than anything. Bonnie began to talk about the cute receptionist downstairs and when Tammy informed them she had been kinda shot down Stu just waved a paw to the side, claiming that Naomi was missing out. Tammy felt like she was talking to her own parents at one point.
There was finally a small knock at the door followed by a text from Nick saying they were there. Tammy hopped up from her seat and strolled over to the door. When she opened it she was surprised to see the whole gang was in the hallway. Atom and Delta stood on either side of the group, their eyes scanning the hallway as if daring a door to burst open and cause a problem. Judy and Trisha were arm in arm as they strolled in. Nick had been given luggage detail as he carried a stuffed ZPD bag full of Judy's things into the room.
Everyone was in awe of the hotel room. Except for Atom whose nose began to twitch. Delta watched his partner closely as the detector walked into the small kitchen and began to put his nose to the cupboards. His tail began to wag quickly as he threw open a door that revealed a small hotel mini bar that was packed full of pricey spirits and snacks.
"Get away from that you goof ball!" Delta demanded but his partner ignored him as he grabbed an armful of expensive snacks and darted for one of the bedrooms. "OI! Come back! You are gonna have to pay for that!"
"So you reveal any more big secrets while we were gone?" Trisha teased Tammy as Nick and Trisha headed back to the couch with the cheetah. Judy found herself standing alone with her parents as the rest of the group scattered.
Her ears drooped slightly as she looked from her mother and then to her father. The trip to her apartment had been a nice escape however she now had to face them once more. She was so tired from the day's events she wasn't sure how much more of a fight she could put up. To her surprise however there was no fight. Just the warmest and most love filled hug she had ever gotten. Stu and Bonnie wrapped their arms around their beautiful daughter and held her close. Informing her of the conversation they had with Tammy. The cheetah putting things into perspective. They admitted that though they would still worry they wanted her to know that they would always support her.
Judy was in tears and nuzzled her cheeks into her parents as she put her arms around them. Loving every bit of affection she received. "Thanks you guys…" She whispered as she gave them each a kiss on the cheek. "I am sorry I didn't tell you about what had happened before..."
"It's probably for the best, think I would have had a heart attack!" Stu admitted.
"Just try not to keep so many things hidden ok? We want to support you but we need to know what's going on!" Bonnie said firmly as she took Judy's paws into her own.
Judy nodded and gave a slight sniffle, still recovering from the tears.
There was a commotion from one of the bedrooms and everyone heard Delta curse. All eyes went to the doorway in time to see Atom running from the room carrying as many pillows as he could. Delta came out seconds later after his partner. When he noticed all eyes on him he paused and just shook his head, "He just ate $70 in junk food and is now proceeding to build a pillow fort. And Westpaw thinks I am the trouble maker?" With that the canine chased after his partner into the other bedroom.
Everyone burst out laughing at the hijinks of the detection team and soon returned to their own conversations. Stu and Bonnie led Judy over to the couches where Trisha, Nick, and Tammy were busy gossiping.
"You didn't! Him? What would make you do that?" Tammy asked as she scrunched her nose in mock disgust. "Canines are so gross!"
"Hey now!" Nick said feigning insult.
"I know what I said and stand by it!" Tammy announced as she stuck out her lounge at Nick.
"I don't know, heard they make great kissers..." Trisha said, giving Judy a playful wink. Judy wanted to stop Trisha but it was already too late, "Isn't that right Judy?"
The gray doe's eyes went wide as she glared at Trisha who just smiled back.
"Oh that's right! How did your date go?" Stu asked as he took a seat next to Nick and gave the fox a pat on the shoulder.
"It was fun! We had a lot of fun!" Judy interrupted, trying to keep the conversation under control. "Mom Dad, you two must be exhausted from the drive into town. Plus Nick and I are pretty wiped out from today so maybe it's time to call it a night?"
"Smooth..." Tammy said playfully but started to stand. The cheetah took a moment to stretch. "Stu, Bonnie, it was very nice meeting you two! Hope we can see each other again sometime!"
Bonnie and Stu both stood up and shook Tammy's hand, "Thank you Tammy for everything! It was truly a pleasure meeting you!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"Take care darling," Stu said kindly and gave Tammy a nod.
Tammy looked down at Trisha, "You drive here?"
Trisha shook her head innocently as her ears flopped about.
"Need a ride?"
"Yes please! Can I play with the siren! Delta let me play with his!" Trisha exclaimed.
"Bet he did," Tammy muttered, "I will be happy to give ya a lift home, my shift is almost done."
"Thanks! Let me just go say good night to Atom and Delta. They said they have to stay here for a bit anyways!" Trisha explained as she jumped off the couch and headed to the bed room where Delta and Atom had ran into.
"So what's the bedding situation?" Nick asked casually as he looked over at Stu and Bonnie.
"2 full and 1 queen," Stu said slowly as he looked over at the fox, "What do you think?"
Judy's mind began to do some simple math. Maybe her parents would want the queen while she and Nick shared a full. Or maybe her parents would want the full since they were used to the smaller beds anyways. Judy however wasn't thinking of another factor. These were her parents! Nick however knew he was being tested.
The fox mulled it over for a bit, "Well I am used to a couch so I can just sleep out here while Judy gets one room and you two get the other."
"Oh dear there are 3 beds though! You shouldn't have to sleep on the couch!" Bonnie said sweetly.
Nick's ears flicked which told Judy he was slightly anxious now. His first plan had been shot down. She also noticed how her father was starting to stare the fox down. Almost daring the male to suggest sharing a bed with his daughter.
Nick however thought quickly, "Well maybe if the girls don't mind sharing a bed Stu and I can split the two fulls!"
"Great idea Nick!" Judy exclaimed. Trying to get everyone on board and away from this awkward conversation.
"Oh that sounds lovely," Bonnie agreed as she looked at her husband.
Stu nodded and gave Nick a smirk, "Smart boy"
Nick had apparently passed the test and earned a little more respect from Judy's father. Judy let out a sigh of relief. The rest of the conversation was interrupted by Atom as he stomped back into the room. A look of defeat one the canines face as he carried some pillows back to the other bedroom.
Delta and Trisha however remained absent. Judy excused herself from the others and went to go check on Trisha and Delta. As she walked into the other bedroom she heard hushed voices which caused her to freeze. Her ears perked up slightly as she listened to the conversation between the spotted dog and the bunny.
"Maybe just a little slow is all," Trisha whispered playfully.
"Last time I checked you were the one who attacked me!" Delta pointed out.
"You call that an attack huh? Well better watch out because I can be very vicious…" Trisha said seductively.
Judy slowly glanced around the corner and her eyes widened at what she saw. Trisha had her legs wrapped around Delta's waist as her arms fell casually on his shoulders. Delta was holding Trisha up, his paws just resting beneath the bunny's round butt. Their lips were just inches apart and their eyes were just barely opened as they studied each other.
"What the hell?!" Judy's inner voice screamed with jealousy. She couldn't explain it but watching Trisha with someone like that caused Judy to just feel left out. She didn't know why these feelings manifested though. She should be happy about this! She had Nick and now Trisha had Delta. Maybe it was the fact these two were moving faster or something? Yeah that must be it! Couldn't be anything else!
"So is this too fast?" Delta asked as he closed the gap between their lips and pressed his gently against Trisha's. The brown doe left out a soft sigh as she welcomed the kiss. Her arms wrapping around the canine's lips. Delta pulled back slightly and looked at Trisha who licked her own lips, enjoying his lingering taste.
"No, think you should actually press the gas a little," Trisha whispered.
That was the final straw. For some reason Judy didn't want to see anymore. She took a few steps back and then proceeded to knock on the door. She heard some scuffling from in the bed room. She walked around the corner hoping she had given the two enough time to detach from one another.
Trisha was smiling at Judy but her expression changed as she studied the gray doe. Delta on the other hand was oblivious and smiled in Judy's direction.
"Had Atom return some of the pillow to the other room, he can be a little goofy when we work late nights so he acts up a bit. Sorry if we messed anything up!" Delta explained.
Judy gave the canine a smile and waved her hand aside, "No its ok, just wanted to check on Trisha. I think Tammy wants to head out now."
"Of course, let me go see you all off," Delta said as he walked out of the bedroom. Judy turned to follow but felt Trisha grab her wrist. Judy turned and looked at her friend.
"What?" Judy asked, unable to hide her annoyance.
"Me what? You what?" Trisha said quickly as she pulled her friend close.
Something was wrong. Very wrong. Or was it right? A carnal instinct inside Judy took over suddenly. There was no warning like the other times. No this time it was like a flash. Trisha had intended to bring Judy close so they could talk. Judy however felt her legs keep moving and her muscles flex. With lighting reflexes she pinned Trisha to the wall. One grabbing a brown wrist while the other pressed Trisha's waist so hard the brown doe was slammed gently into the wall. Judy was breathing heavy as she leaned close, her nose brushing against Trisha's as their lips remained just a centimeter apart.
"Judy what the hell?!" Trisha blurted out as her bright blue eyes darted up and down the gray doe who had lost control.
"Shut up and enjoy it!" Judy growled in a voice unlike her own.
"Judy seriously if this is a joke it needs to stop!" Trisha began to beg as tears formed in her eyes.
"No..its…its..no.." Judy said as her head throbbed. The carnal urges began to pass and now a wave of regret washed over the poor doe.
"Oh my god!" Judy whispered in panic. She let go of Trisha and began to fall ack. This time it was Trisha's turn to act quickly. She wrapped her arms around Judy and pulled her into a hug.
"It's ok Judy I got you!" Trisha said, the bunny had a feeling this was not Judy's doing and decided to focus on getting Judy in a better place now and worrying about what caused this later.
"Trisha what did I do?!" Judy began to sob. Try as she might she couldn't be quiet. The two slowly lowered to the floor as Trisha ran a paw down Judy's ears, trying to comfort her friend.
Judy heard footsteps and soon Nick entered the room.
"Nick! Help!" Trisha begged as she looked up at the fox in desperation. Judy was shaking now, her crying starting to subside.
"Hey Carrots! What happened?" Nick asked as he tried to scoop Judy up. The gray doe shook her head and suddenly tightened her grip on Trisha. Nick didn't try to pull them apart and Trisha remained holding Judy. When Nick tried to move away though Judy let out a quick gasp and grabbed his good arm. Nick looked down at Judy. His bright green eyes filled with concern. Judy pulled on Nick's arm and the fox understood what she needed.
Nick slowly got down on the floor with the two does and wrapped his arm around them. Bringing both Judy and Trisha in close. Judy remained in the center of her friends as she continued to shake, her breathing starting to return to normal. Trisha remained on one side of her friend while Nick the other.
Judy couldn't explain why she needed them both but she just did. She was happy they understood. Together they all remained silent. Nick holding the bunny's close while Trisha gently stroked Judy's ears. They would get through this storm together.
