Jady sat at the station with a blanket around her, her paws shaking the paper cup of coffee in her grip, she was still in disbelief of what she saw. the forensics people were still analyzing the body they had confirmed to be Nick's. Judy raised taking a small sip not know what was going on. Her friend Benjamin sat beside.

"Judy, I just want you to know, all of us at the station are shaken up by Nick's death, deaths... the possibility of the two bodies" Clawhauser question as Judy shushed him.

"Thanks, Benjamin but I'd prefer just to be alone" Judy replied as he looked at her.

"Of course, We know you and Nick were close, The chief said you could take some time off to clear your head" Clawhauser replied as Judy nodded. she needed to hear what to forensics people had to say before she considered leaving. Judy walked to the forensics room knocking on the door as it opened revealing the forensic worker, a male deer named Kevin

"Hopps...Judy, we're still running tests on the Nicks" the Kevin said wiping a utensil in his head.

"So you've confirmed they are both Nick Wilde, how is that possible?" Judy asked a bit distraught as the Kevin shrugged.

"Their DNA is a perfect match, but the vitals are completely different" Kevin explained as this caught Judy's attention.

"Please go on" Judy requested wanting the hear more as Kevin went one telling her the differences.

"Let start with the first Nick, the one found in the Rainforest District Warehouse, we'll call him Nick A, and The Nick from his apartment Nick B. Nick A lungs show that he smoked often while Nick B's lungs are clear. Nick B has a fracture in his arm he sustained in his early childhood while Nick A doesn't have that injury. Kevin explained baffled by this as Judy was just as baffled.

"Look, Kevin, I'm gonna go home to clear my head, Tell Bogo, I decided to take him up on his offer, I'll be out next week" Judy replied leaving the chair. Judy walked out of the station into the dark sky, it was a rainy day and the pouring water soaked the rabbit's fur as she headed home in the rain. Judy covered her head wishing she knew it was gonna rain, as she had no umbrella.

Judy made her way back to her apartment shaking the rain off as she walked to her bed falling face first on it. Judy usually prided herself too much but now that she was home she let her facade fall apart. she had just lost the most important person in her life.

Judy clenched her pillow sobbing at the loss of her partner. He was special and meant a lot to her. Although she never told him, she cared for him deeply. she just laid on her bed sobbing her eyes out. Judy looked over to the shelf over her bed. upon said shelf sat a small plushie that resembled Nick to a T. He gave it to her for her birthday and it was all she had left of him as she pulled Mini-Nick down.

"even though it wasn't the real Nick she needed the comfort. clenching the plushie to her. Judy was too tired and heartbroken to leave the bed. Laying there she could not get the fox out of her head. Judy never felt pain like loss before. Losing Nick was like a part of her died. Judy held the plushie up to her face.

"Don't worry Nick, I promise I'll find the guy who did this, and they will pay" Judy promised to the plushie as there was a knock on her door. Judy sat up wiping her tears. she was not expecting anyone. Judy managed to pull herself together.

"Come on Judy, you can do this" Judy managed to pump herself opening to door, leaving the chain lock on seeing a pitbull in a tuxedo as he smiled.

"Miss Judy Hopps?" the pitbull asked as she looked at him nodding as he asked to enter as Judy just looked at him.

"Who are you, I'm not just gonna let a stranger in" Judy replied as the pitbull looked at her.

"My Name is Agent Mutz, I'm here to talk to you about your partner Nicholas Wilde" Mutz explained holding up his badge as Judy undid the chain lock letting Mutz enter as he did so.

"Mutz, that is a pretty strange named for a pitbull" Judy replied as Mutz looked around.

"Well Hopps is a strange name for a rabbit, it's an eastern name, but I'm not here to talk about my lineage, I'm here to talk about Nick" Mutz replied as Judy sighed sitting on her bed.

"What do you want to know?" Judy asked the pitbull who scratched his chin looking down at Judy as he decided it would be best to start with the beginning. as Judy sighed hating the relive the events.

"Nick was doing routine work when we got a call to attend the sight of the dead body, we got there, the body was identified as Nick Wilde, it was shot thru the chest" Judy explained as Mutz wrote down what she was saying as she continued recalling events.

"The Next day Nick did not show up for work, you should have seen Bogo, he was pissed at him, he tried Calling Nick but no response, we thought at best he just overslept at worse he was sick, he wasn't the type to blow work off" Judy continued as Mutz was writing it down.

"The morning after, I texted him to no response which began to worry me, Nick always answered my messages when I called so I went by his place to check on him" Judy continued.

"Where you found his dead body" Mutz pushed as she nodded.

"That time I knew it was Nick, not just some crazy coincidence, Nick Wilde, my friend, and partner dead," Judy said as Mutz looked at her.

"and the body was missing its head if I'm not mistaken" Mutz pushed Judy did not like to think about that. she simply nodded at Mutz as he wrote it down. Mutz looked at Judy.

"Thank you for your Help, Miss Hopps, we promise we will stop the guy who did this" Mutz said standing up as he left the room. Judy just there hoping Nick's killer would be brought to justice as she looked seeing Mutz's badge on the desk. Judy rushed over picking it up.

"Mr. Mutz wait!" Judy called out running out into the hall trying to find Mutz as she saw the pitbull adjusting a gold pocket watch. Judy scurried to him as they were both caught in a flash of bright blue light.

Judy suddenly screamed in pain before she vomited her guts out regaining her vision, she was not in her complex. the bunny wiped the vomit off her shirt. she held her body noticed she still had Mini-Nick with her. just continued carrying it as she looked for Mutz. The building looked high tech as Judy was honestly confused at what was going on as she heard a voice

"So what did you find out," a voice said as Judy poked her head thru the doorway seeing Mutz talking to a Pig in a flame-colored jumpsuit and a panther in a purple outfit.

"It was Black, he has killed the Nick Wilde of Earth C-221 as well as Nick Wilde of Earth SC-312" Mutz responded as Judy was eavesdropping.

"Are you gonna wear that all night or chance back already?" The Panther asked as Mutz looked at himself.

"Sorry, I just like dressing up" Mutz replied emitting blue light as his form changed into that of a fox, his suit turning for black to white as he held out his paw, a gold cane forming.

"Better," the fox said as they nodded as Judy gasped seeing Mutz change forms like that is would have shocked anyone as Judy forgot about being quiet

"What the hell" Judy gasped before covering her mouth as the turned to the doorway.

"Oh no," the fox said as Judy regained her composure looking at the blue fox walking up to him poking his chest.

"Okay, Mutz, who are you, where are we and how did you do that and why?" Judy asked as the pig chuckled

"You forgot when?"The pig joked as the fox held up his paw, gesturing for the pig to stop as he did so. the fox looked at Judy feeling the least he could do was explain why he had deceived her.

"First of all my name is not 'Mutz', it is Quantum, Mutz was someone I made up to talk to you about Nick so who we can stop his murder" Quantum explained as Judy looked at him.

"How about we start from the beginning" Judy retorted as the three looked at her as Quantum nodded.
