~First Tuesday Evening~
After Judy handed the case in and got her I.D. clocked out, she made her way down to her apartment. She lifted her amethyst eyes to her landlady, whom pointed her thumb over her shoulder as she mumbled, "You got a visitor. Come in through the staff hall."
The grey rabbit nodded lightly as she was granted permission to go through the door with a sign that said 'Staff Only' on it. Once she came to her 'visitor', she closed her eyes as she recognized the mammal.
"Ah… Elena… what brings you here?" the grey rabbit inquired as she opened her eyes to face her thirteen-year-old sister with a plain, but concerned expression.
Elena, the young doe with the soft orange fur, looked up to her sister. She stood up as she stirred up the details in her mind, "I wish to learn a little bit from you and I mean in the phys- person."
Judy pulled her cPhone from her pocket and checked the time on it, "Do mom and dad know about this?"
"Yes, it took me three days to persuade them to let me go," the young doe confirmed as she hopped off the chair, reached for her sister's paw and made a warm grip.
The first bunny cop shifted her attention back to her sister as she turned her cPhone to sleep mode and responded, "So they agreed to let you… survey my work? Is that what you're saying?"
"Yes," Elena exclaimed happily as the sisters walked their way out of the staff hall.
"Alright then. You should have let me know beforehand," Judy said as she shook her head before she shifted her attention to her landlady and explained, "This visitor is my sister, and she got permission from my parents. So it's ok. Thank you for notifying me."
With a 'rabbits those days' sentence mumbled to the grey rabbit, the sisters made their way to the fourth floor of apartment. Judy unlocked the door and escorted her sister inside. Once Judy shut the door, Elena sat on the bed.
"So… is the job that tough?" the young sister asked. She asked one at a time so she didn't overwhelm the first rabbit cop.
Judy joined her sister by sitting on the mattress. She answered, "Yes. After all, I was at the top of my class a year ago."
"Is your boss also that tough?" Elena asked the next question as Judy unwound her gauntlets.
She tossed her gauntlets onto the desk where they joined her police belt. She turned to her sister and spoke, "Well, Chief Bogo is a caring boss on the block. But yesterday he was discharged. On top of that, the mayor has not explained the reason he was replaced."
The grey rabbit inhaled before she actually gave the answer, "So yes, Chief Bogo kept all of us on our toes when working."
"Hm, I see… so that means you're really tired from a long day today?" the orange-furred rabbit gave out the new question with a constant tone.
"Yeah," Judy said, monotone, before she hugged her sister and laid down with her, "Let's get a little sleep. Then we can go out for the dinner."
~Two hours later~
The bunnies cuddled together, having missed each other's comforting embrace. Elena squeezed inside Judy's arms, which made the latter twitch her nose once it touched with her sister's forehead. Suddenly, the female grey rabbit opened her amethyst eyes as she realized the difference. Now fully recovered, she shook her young to gently awake her. Once the orange-furred doe rolled from her sister onto her back, Judy got up to change into her casually clothes.
"Em, let's go," the first rabbit cop commented as she walked to the door and unlocked it.
Almost as if it was programmed into her mind, Elena bolted from the bed, fully awake, and hopped off the bed to join her sister. Judy shut the door and they made their way down to the first floor. They waved a goodbye to the landlady as they worked their way down the hall to the outside. They managed to catch a cab within a minute.
"Thank you," Judy said as she paid the fare. The cab dashed out of the scene.
The bunnies were standing in the front of the restaurant, 'Herb Garden'. They started to walk toward the building. After they entered, they asked for a table for two and they were led by a buck to the table, which was the correct size for the rabbits. The rabbit waiter handed the menu to each girl before he departed to get them cups of water.
While they were waiting for the waiter to returning, Elena spoke up as they scanned through the menu, "So is it true that you had to take training in the academy for six months?"
"Yeah," Judy responded as she shifted her attention from the left page to the right before she added, "Those months were the only time you have to train and prove your worth. The reason I got in Precinct One was that I was the top student in the class. Any lower, and you're in another Precinct."
The young sister laid the menu on the table as she made up her choice, "Um… what was that word again…? Verdet… Vender…?"
"The word would be 'Valedictorian', Em," the first rabbit cop responded as she closed her menu and laid it on the table, showing that she had made her choice too.
The waiter returned with two cups of water and the bunnies gave him their orders. With the menus taken away, the girls returned their attention to their previous thoughts. Judy laid her back on the seat back and crossed her arms. She and her sister spent a minute of silence together.
"Hey," a voice called out startling the bunnies. They looked up to the wall that revealed the predator waitress, "What brings you here? Has your husband lost a bet or something?"
"Charlotte? No, Nick and I are not married yet. This bunny is my sister, Elena Hopps," the grey rabbit responded as she recognized the black-furred feline, who was poking her head over the wall that separated preys from predators.
"Hello," Elena introduced.
"Oh, hello, Elena," Charlotte greeted with a smile.
Judy sighed lightly before she explained, "Beside Elena's too old to be my kit, ya'know. And if I had been married, I would had you as my flower girl. Since my husband would be a predator, you'd be approved for it."
"I see. Glad that you are seeing predators differently," the jaguar added with a kindly tone before she looked over her shoulder, "I gotta go… enjoy dinner."
With her returning to her job, the bunnies returned to their silence. Finally, their meals were served and they started to eat their lettuce leaves.
"So what happened to the fox partner of yours?" Elena inquired after she swallowed her third bit of the meal.
"Please call him either 'Nick' or 'Officer Wilde', if you must," Judy complained before she picked a bit and swallowed it, "As for him going dark on me, I don't know. The last I know about him - he was called to Chief Bogo's office yesterday and I haven't heard from him since."
"That's same time Chief Bogo discharged, no?" the doe said, as she recalled the details that her sister had explained earlier.
Judy finished her meal as she realized something, "Hm… you're right. I will try to find him tomorrow."
Elena finished her meal as well and the female grey rabbit paid for the meals before they departed the restaurant and headed back to her shoebox apartment. She made her decision to do multitasking in the morning…
