Chapter Eleven: Scuttled

Rainforest District

On board the Alba Varden sat Finnick tied to a chair, guarded by the machine gun toting stag, as well as a skunk, beaver, porcupine and arctic fox hanging around the living room area. Finnick pretended to be tough around all these guys, but the one that seemed to be able to break him was this arctic hare in a black and white suit that was beating the shit out of him

Wham!

"Ah," groaned Finnick, "I don't even know enough! Just let me go!" "That won't be happening anytime soon mate," said Jack Savage as he punched Finnick in the stomach.

Biff!

"Fuck you commie," howled Finnick. "Commie eh," retorted Savage, "do you really think I'm one of these jokers?" "Well you are hanging out with these assholes," replied Finnick. "I'm more of a capitalist than you," snapped Savage as he clocked Finnick in the jaw.

Bam!

"I only told the cops that I laundered gold for these guys," said Finnick, "I don't even know any of the inner workings. I just told them about the gold and the boat! They didn't learn anything else! Please for God's sake, STOP NOW!"

Savage reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. "Smokes," he offered Finnick. "No thanks," said Finnick nervously. "That's too bad," said Savage as he let out a puff of smoke, "I just wanted to be nice to you before I did this."

Sizzle!

Savage drove the lit cigarette butt into Finnick's cheek, causing him to howl and bellow in pain as he felt his flesh roast.

"So," said Nick awkwardly as he and Judy climbed back up the dune to Nick's car, "is the engagement still on?" "Oh, it's way more than on," replied Judy as she made her way up, "I've just been dying for you to make a move." "Even though it got caught short by a damn airstrike," said Nick. "I couldn't think of a better mammal to dodge bullets with," said Judy sweetly.

Whup! Whup! Whup!

Nick and Judy turned around almost immediately with their weapons drawn, thinking that the East Germammals sent another chopper after them, only to notice the ZPD markings on the blue and white helicopter.

"Boy are we glad to see you two down there," said a familiar voice through the helicopter's loudspeaker. "Clawhouser," they both asked in unison. "'Tis I," said Clawhouser as he landed the helicopter. Then as the helicopter got to the ground, he exited.

"What's going on," asked Judy. "You haven't been listening to the scanner have you," said Calwhouser. "We were in the middle of something," said Nick. "Well," said Clawhouser, "things are really bad tonight. We have two officers dead, one wounded and a missing witness. It seems that East Germammalny has declared war on the ZPD."

"Who'd they get," asked Judy nervously, "anybody we know?" "Unfortunately," said Clawhouser, "yes. Stripervich and Wolford are both KIA and McBoot is currently having a couple of bullets removed from his legs." "What about Finnick," asked Nick, "Danny was guarding him." "They took him," said Clawhouser, "probably to the boat." "Then let's get him," replied Judy. "No," said Clawhouser, "all ZPD Officers are under orders to stay away. I'm sorry Nick," he said with regret, "your friend is as good as dead."

"No," said Nick. "What," asked Judy and Clawhouser. "I said," Nick pointed down dramatically, "Noooo! It took me ages to find any real friends in my life," he continued, "and now that I have them, I'm ordered to turn my back on them? No way in hell am I gonna be a coward that lets a good friend of mine die when I can still save him." "Nick," said Judy, "this would be an act of war! We can't just attack foreign diplomats!"

"What the fuck do y'all call this," shouted Nick as he extended his arms, pointing to both the dead wolves and the wreckage of the helicopter he shot down. "They killed two good mammals, injured a good friend of mine and I'm supposed to let that go?" He took his badge out of his pocket and said, "If this is how it's gonna be, then I'm no cop tonight." He threw his badge into the sand and stormed off to his shot up car.

"Nick wait," pleaded Judy, "don't do this! I don't want you to get yourself killed!" "If it keeps them from getting to you," replied Nick, "then it's worth it." "Please Nick," begged Judy, "I need you! I can't let you do this! I can't live without you!" "Where's your sense of bravery, huh," replied Nick as he dragged a duffle bag out of his trunk, "I remember you as the brave," he continued, "stupid, but brave bunny that dragged me all over town for one of the most crucial cases in this city's history, holding me hostage with a goddamn novelty pen. Where's that version of Judy? It's a little too soon to be getting domesticated on me."

Click-Clack!

Nick revealed the MP5K submachine gun that he kept from the Shadow Company case. "I am going to save Finnick and stop Wiesler from leaving the country if it's the last thing I do," said Nick, "and I'll make sure to be back in Bunny Burrow in time for the wedding! You coming with me or not?"

"Alright enough," barked Clawhouser, which was rare as the usually mellow cheetah was hardly ever forceful, "it has been a bad night for the ZPD, I get it! But will you both calm the fuck down and tell me what the fuck is going on right now?"

"Before the helicopters," said Judy, "Nick," she paused, "well, uh," she finally said it, "decided to propose. And I really," she began to cry, "I was really eager for this moment. But now he wants to," she paused as she bent over crying, "I don't want to lose him now! I love him more than any other mammal ever! And now he wants to go get himself killed! Don't leave me Nick!"

Judy felt someone gently lifting her up by the shoulder. She wiped her eyes and turned around to see Nick with a much calmer, more sympathetic look on his face. "Carrots," said Nick, "is that really how you feel?" Judy nodded yes, then buried her face in his chest. "I thought so," commented Nick as he wrapped his arms around her. "I know you're scared," said Nick, "we all are right now. But I can't just let my friend die without doing something about it. I've walked out on enough mammals in my lifetime and I'm not about to start with you," he paused, "but I can't be responsible for an old friend's death. You'd be better off coming with me if that's how you feel."

"Alright," mumbled Judy, "I'll go on another rogue op with you. But please," she pushed her face out, "be careful." "Don't worry carrots," said Nick, "pretty soon, you won't be able to get rid of me."

"So are you two planning on having kids," asked Clawhouser as he, Nick and Judy sat in the squad car in front of where the Alba Varden was docked. "Well," said Nick, "seeing as carrots and I have made passionate love about a dozen times and she hasn't been knocked up yet," he paused, "I have no fucking idea." "Well," added Judy, "rabbits are good at multiplying. Maybe we'll get lucky soon?"

Nick's eyes shot open at the realization. Judy told Nick that she had 274 siblings, which he assumed was a joke until he actually went to Bunny Burrow for the first time. He remembered getting swarmed by a damn tsunami of fluff and it scared the shit out of him. The thought of him having that many kids was terrifying.

"Are you okay Nick," asked Judy. "What, huh," Nick snapped out of it, "what are we talking about?" "I bet you two are going to be so happy together," said Clawhouser cheerfully, "when can I tell everyone at the precinct." "Not now dammit," snapped Nick. "He's thinking about it," said Judy matter of factly.

"Gear up," said Nick as he checked his .45, "we still have a hostage to save and some bad guys to kill." Judy took the MAC-10, which brought back memories, as well as her service pistol. "Where did we get a rocket launcher again," asked Clawhouser as he picked up the RPG-7. "Found it on one of the choppers," replied Nick, "now remember your part of the plan." "Okay slick," said Judy as she opened her door, "fun's fun, but let's try not to get hurt." "Oh my precious carrot cake," said Nick as he climbed out, equipped with his .45, a .38 revolver as a backup sidearm, the MP5K and a sawed off shotgun, "you should be way more worried about the other guys."

Back on board the yacht, Savage was just about finished with Finnick. "So you talk to the cops but don't talk to me," said Savage, "that's just sad. And you really think your scumbag friend is gonna save your ass. His guts are spewed across the sand as we speak."

Choom!

Crash!

"Yippee ki yay motherfuckers," screamed Nick as he and Judy swung on board the yacht on a vine. They landed on the deck, each armed with submachine guns drawn on Savage and the East Germammals. "Fools," said Savage as he drew his machine pistol, "you could have walked out of this alive." "You aren't killing my friend," barked Nick.

Brakabrakabrakabrakabrak!

The stag fired his machine gun, only to quickly get cut down by Nick and Judy.

Brakabrakabrakabrakabrakabrak!

The other animals on board fired their pistols, with Nick taking out the beaver and the porcupine. Then Judy took a pair of bolt cutters and freed Finnick, only to get kicked from behind.

"Nice to finally meet you ma'am," said the british accented arctic hare, "I'm Jack Savage by the way." "Wish I could say the same," said Judy as she did a retaliatory kick. "Damnit," muttered Nick, "we gotta get Finnick and go now!" "You grab him," said Judy, "I can take this guy!" "I am not doing this again carrots, we are leaving!"

"How rude it is," said Savage as he posed ready to strike with the badger and the arctic fox standing at his side, "for our guests to leave so early." "And it's too bad the crew here has to go down with the ship," replied Nick. Then there was awkward silence for about three seconds.

"Isn't something supposed to happen," asked Judy. "I said go down with the ship," said Nick again with a touch of attitude.

Fwoosh!

Boom!

Clawhouser fired the RPG from on the dock, blowing a hole in the bow of the yacht. "Hope you boys can swim," said Judy as she, Nick and Finnick made their way to the exit. "I also here that there's bull sharks in the canal this time of night," said Nick, "so swim fast." "This isn't over," shouted Savage as his enemies escaped.
