It was time once again for Judy to push her usual kindness away and embrace the violence her new life demanded out of both her and her husband. Kristoff had made a huge mistake and paid for it with his own life, now it was up to the Savannah bosses to clean up this mess.
Nick actually had ulterior motives for the upcoming attack, he had another big statement to give, those jerks had tried to kill his wife and it was time to let all Zootopia know that nobody targets his bunny and gets away with it. He was growing more frustrated and territorial with each passing day, his own hormones and instincts were playing against him while he entered in heat and his stressful job was driving him insane.
As they rode towards his destination the couple stayed in silence during the whole limo ride, both coordinating the details of the takeover with their respective seconds in command. Before they knew it the car arrived to the tunnels that border the Nocturnal with the Savannah, so the fox and bunny had little time to polish their upcoming course of action.
Garraza was already waiting for them with several mammals standing behind, the cheetah's tail lashed in apprehension and excitement. The duo recognized a few of them from their own family, mostly beavers and wolves from the middle of the chain of command that followed their comrade, behind them a large group of bats, moles and foxes stood hesitant.
Nick knew the reason why Garraza looked so smug, with Lobato out of the way he saw it as a chance to move up the ranks, in a big hostile takeover like this he might have the opportunity he desperately waited for to prove himself. If Nick's trusted wolf didn't make it out of the hospital in fully working condition he feared the position would have to be given to someone else. Of course Damian would never be abandoned, he could easily land a good spot on the second wave, but his hopes of climbing the ranks would be destroyed and behind him there were many capable mammals willing to fill that position.
Because in the upcoming fight, the decisive factor was ambition.
The fox knew that the best weapon in the underworld was greed, he saw it twinkling in the eyes of every nocturnal mammal standing in front of him. Greed was an asset he could exploit even more than the money it pursued. He would use their hunger for power to achieve his own goals, it was easy to remember how his original boss had often maneuvered the minefield of the crime world riding only on his ability to manipulate others, if Mr. Big were still alive he would be so proud of the strategy.
After clearing his throat Nick addressed his future employees. -"Very well ladies and gentlemammals, as you know the whole Nocturnal is about to change paws and a few leadership positions are gonna be available. So to those who are making the wise choice of joining us early I have a big prize to give you, bring me the heads of the gang leaders that are against our family and I will give you a territory to rule over in Happytown at ten blocks per head, the more heads you give us the bigger your turf. Now of course you will still respond to the new Boss of this district, Garraza"- he said addressing to the feline –"Make sure everything runs smoothly and that one will be you"-
The glint of joy in the cheetah's eyes was unmistakable and his posse already salivated at the prospect of power. The same ambition and malice irradiated from the nocturnals behind them.
A very large black van parked near the whole group, four bunnies and two tigers got out of it and begun giving away large weapons and Kevlar vests to the trigger happy crew, while the Savannah bosses got inside the vehicle to change their formal attire into something more suitable for a violent invasion. Minutes later the married couple came out in their black assault gear.
Once all of them were ready the nocturnals practically hummed with excitement at the upcoming massacre and the opportunities that lie ahead of them, they could taste their growing domain already. But Judy knew what they were thinking and soon was putting a stop on their vicious train of thoughts, letting those gangsters run free packed with weapons could mean a lot of stray bullets and a lot of honest mammals would get killed in the crossfire.
-"Here is the thing though, when you go on your rampage you will be wearing small cameras on your bulletproof vests"- She said pointing to the inconspicuous round lenses hidden right in the middle of the black jackets –"you can kill as many gangsters as you want but your cameras will be monitored by the second wave crew. If you kill one innocent citizen, if you hurt one child, you better run away from Zootopia because you will be our enemy as well."- The way her voice authoritatively boomed into the cold night and right onto the group's soul reminded Nick of Chief Bogo.
-"Happy hunting fellas, I expect the heads to be at the front gates of the Tundratown manor in exactly twenty four hours"- Nick's casual stance somehow seemed even more imposing than Judy's stern orders.
After the group dispersed the mobsters awaited for their own warriors, it was up to them to kill all the members of the nocturnal mafia that were still loyal to Kristoff and opposed the Savannah. Ten minutes later five more vans parked around them with at least forty members of the first wave, armed to the fangs and carrying a lot of firepower
About eighty percent of the nocturnals were happy to get rid of the useless elk, but there were a few of them in the high ranks who really were faithful to him. They made their bet on Kevin or Raymond, expecting that either of them would be chosen as leaders of the whole mafia. This hostile takeover would obviously mean the Savannah would try to seize power by force, so when the more powerful and experienced bears charged against the fox and the bunny those guys wanted to be on Kevin or Raymond's good graces. Yet while the mobsters in the higher ranks were plotting about the upcoming boss, the poorer members of the mafia only wanted the respect and camaraderie the Savannah counterparts liked to brag about, so they quickly switched sides.
The armed vehicles rode to the crystal caves, a fancy neighborhood located at the centre of the underground district. They parked close to a large two store house that could pass for a small manor, the place where Kristoff used to live, now as the mobsters approached the property they were greeted by a storm of bullets.
Several other elks, bats and bears were shooting at them from the front windows in the manor. The entrances that weren't used to attack the Savannah mob were sealed shut by thick iron curtains.
The nocturnal mobsters attacking the duo were fewer but much better armed, a fact stated by the large impact a bazooka left right next to them. There were plenty of mammals from the Savannah returning the fire so the numbers were on their side, the firepower… not so much.
The Savannah's best snipers were located around the manor, the ground crew was shooting behind the bulletproof vans, and eventually their superior number would prevail. But the problem with attacking a fortified manor is that it's much similar to attacking an actual fort, it's a long grueling process and even when the surrounded mammals are bound to lose; it can be exhausting and ammo draining for the attackers.
Judy knew that time was another factor that ran against them; it was likely that both polar bears would find out about their antics and would soon retaliate. They could overpower the small group of nocturnals but they had to do it fast before both the Sahara and Rainforest brought their own cavalry into the shootout, because if not they would be dead once the much larger armies came to the manor's defense.
Judy doubted a truce could be salvaged from this disaster but she guessed there was no harm in being optimistic. Time dragged on and the situation begun to look hopeless, this siege was taking too long, she knew they needed to finish this whole issue fast and hard. Then an idea struck her, one of the impulsive kinds that usually bring more trouble and damage than good, but desperate times call for bunfuck crazy measures.
-"We need to get inside the manor and finish those fuckers off"- She heard Nick say through their intercom
-"No Nick! Stay back, all of you!"- Judy yelled –"I have an idea"- her devilish smile could be heard through the device.
-"Carrots I'm kinda afraid to ask, what that idea of yours is?"- His ears stuck to his head and his face grew apprehensive.
-"Guys you'll have to trust me, stay away from the manor and try to distract them, I'll be right back"- She sprinted far from the shootout and called her sister –"Sam I need you to contact our weapons supplier and put Mouser on the line"- The face of the other gray doe was quickly replaced on the phone screen by a burly mouse with a permanent scowl on his face.
Michael Mouser was the most cunning and brutal bomber in the entire city, several large mammals had learned not to anger the tiny rodent the hard way, only a few have managed to survive and tell others about it.
He had worked with the prey supremacist groups but quickly switched sides when the mob tore it down. The mouse claimed he didn't care about the group's ideology, he just joined them because; in his own words "He liked to blow shit up". Back then the mafia reached the wise conclusion that it was better to have the pyromaniac on their side and not as an enemy.
–"What is it boss?"- The bomber grunted.
-"Sam will give you a package and I need you to infiltrate into Kristoff's manor to deliver it, come as fast as you can"- Judy kept her voice steady in spite of her apprehension, she really needed this to work out or they would all be dead.
-"How big is the package?"- The mouse said with an eager grin, he wasn't actually asking about the size of the bomb since he was pretty small and could only carry so much weight, what he actually wanted to know is how big the explosion would be.
-"Enough to turn a fortified manor into rubble, but our guys are close it cannot hurt them. I want you to talk to the supplier and see what you can do"- She said worried, the bomber liked to go overboard sometimes and in this case that could be very damaging for her comrades.
-"I get it, you don't want and actual explosion, you want to implode the place. I'll be there in a jiffy"- Michael said winking at her.
After she hung up she heard Nick's exasperated voice over the intercom.-"Carrots we are wasting too much ammo whatever you're planning to do, do it now!"-
-"I need you guys to hold on for a few more minutes, can you pull that off?"- Judy said worried.
-"Yeah I'll think of something"- He grumbled, then ordered his comrades to space out the shootings and aim more for accuracy than blunt force. When the trapped nocturnals got cocky enough to try to leave the manor the sly fox made one of the weasels working for him to drive one of their vans right at the gate and slink away at the last minute. The gasolines inside the vehicle exploded spectacularly, but the fire combusted too fast and not hot enough to leave severe damage; so it only served as a distraction.
-"All right guys clear the area NOW!"- Judy's commanding shout sounded like orders from a military leader to her faithful troop. The Savannah mobsters wasted no time following their orders, those with acute hearing noticed the sounds of several approaching vehicles coming their way, they made it just in time before the Rainforest and Savannah cavalry arrived.
The manor's foundations blew up, its cement turned into grey dust, and the whole structure collapsed over the remains of Kistoff's crew.
The black van sped on the dark deserted street as fast as its engine allowed, carrying the heavy weight of several mammals and their weapons.
-"Are they chasing us?"- Judy asked unable to calm her twitching nose
Nick looked at the rearview mirror of the now very cramped vehicle, since one of their vans had been sacrificed mere minutes ago and the extra mammals had to fight for space in only one of them. All he saw past the back windshield was a dark empty road –"Nah carrots, we're clear"- he said relaxing a little
-"Are you sure?"- The bunny had trouble believing the rival mobsters would just give up on their chase.
-"Yeah fluff, they came here to pretend they were helping out but had no intention to actually stop us. Remember that Kevin and Raymond are fighting to see who would be the next boss and we just got rid of the competition for them. Besides Kristoff's crew was even more useless than him"- The fox's brain was already scheming a new plan, even when he already had several hidden cards on his sleeve.
-"But are they still coming to get us?"- She already knew the answer but wasn't ready to give up hope on a peaceful outcome.
-"Of course they will, our only chance is to ask Koslov for shelter since he's still kinda neutral and then we'll try to explain ourselves. If we are really lucky he might help us negotiate so they don't kill us"-
…
Once back on their manor they requested an urgent meeting with the current leader of Tundratown, by being frontal about their intentions from the beginning they might escape the accusations of treason, that was of utmost importance because traitors are NOT well treated within the mafia. For almost an hour the bear listened to their plight with careful consideration, only after both bosses of the Savannah stopped talking did he give his verdict.
-"Your only chance is to choose between Kevin or Raymond. Give both the Savannah and the Nocturnal to him in exchange for his protection; whichever you choose will then rule three out of five districts so the other one will have to give up his claim. But be careful, remember that they share more trust with each other than to you"- Koslov told them solemn, a bitter sigh condensed a small cloud on his lips as he gave a melancholic stare at the large painting of Mr. Big behind him.
-"We choose Raymond"- Nick said flatly, at Judy's inquisitive stare he elaborated –"He's the only boss that rules his turf without any issue; we both know Kevin has had some trouble with the Sahara. Let's face it fluff, that guy is the strongest"- He looked as his wife knowing she hated how he took such an important decision without consulting her, but after mulling the idea she had to admit he had a point so she nodded as well.
With a sharp nod the polar bear told them -"Very well, I will call a meeting to both of them for tomorrow morning, until then I give you my word you and your family will be safe"-
…..
Back in their luxurious bedroom it dawned on them that they only had one night of guaranteed peace, they had no way of knowing if their proposal would be taken or if they would be killed for their betrayal. So if only a night they had, better make the most out of it.
The fox wasted no time grabbing his mate and throwing her on the bed, his slim long body quickly roamed over hers. But for the first time since they met, all she gave him was a cold stare and the grumbled response of "not being in the mood". Whether it was during their angry thrusts blowing off steam, when he took all his frustrations on her soft form, to the first time he saw her half naked and terrified in the Down Low. She had never, EVER told him no.
-"Carrots what is it?"- He said panicking, he never felt more rejected in his whole life.
-"I'm not gonna let you get your rocks off and use ME while thinking about HER"- She said pouting and burrowed below the sheets
-"Her? Who's her? I don't know what the hell are you talking about"- He said exasperated removing the covers from her face, wondering if his wife had lost her mind
-"The VIXEN Nicholas! The one you were groping tonight on the dance floor"- The powerful mafia boss doe was pouting and whining like a little kit –"You didn't even bother to hide it! Don't you dare saying you had no interest in her, if those guys from Happytown hadn't broke in you two would be doing the horizontal mambo by know"-
The fox laughed as hard as his lungs allowed, was his little bunny actually jealous? She was always cute, but the way she pouted all snuggled below the covers, big purple eyes watery and droopy ears flopping over her face made her so adorable he had no choice but to snap a picture of her to keep as blackmail material.
-"It's the tail isn't it? Hers is so long and silky, mine is just a fuzzy little stump"- She muttered miserably while her husband's laughter died off.
-"Look carrots you know I'm crazy about that cottontail of yours, nobody is allowed to insult it in my presence, not even you"- In spite of his playful tone he sobered up and was actually serious about it –"Look it's kinda hard to explain but I wasn't actually flirting with Miss Storm, the way we acted is kinda part of fox culture, it means nothing."- His wife gave him a "you're not fooling me" look before burrowing deeper below the covers so he took a deep breath and elaborated.
–"When a vixen flirts with a tod he has to flirt back, otherwise he would send her the message that he finds her so undesirable he doesn't even want to waste time on her, what I'm trying to say is that not flirting is actually considered an insult. But when a tod actually wants to get in a relationship he will use his pheromones to signal both her and other males around that he has chosen a mate, he marks her"-
Judy blushed at the many times her fox has possessively marked her entire frame, she could tell by his body language that he wanted to do that right now.
Nick gave her an affectionate lick on her puffy cheeks before continuing –"Besides I think she wasn't into me either, looks like we both have the same tastes after all."-
At her questioning stare he whispered the answer on her long sensitive ears –"She was imprinting on the rabbit you were getting chummy with"- the ghost of an accusatory glare on his green eyes.
-"Says the fox that was groping a vixen a few hours ago"- She grumbled swatting his arm with force, but when he once again crawled on top of her and his sharp teeth nibbled on the delicate skin of her neck, she didn't push him away. They removed their clothes with practiced ease, so efficiently after months of rushing in their lovemaking that they could be naked in a blink of an eye.
Judy could tell her husband was worried, she could feel it in the extra tension of his muscles and the way his tail frizzled making it look twice its size. –"Nick what is it?"- she asked gently, maybe it was time to talk and figure out a way out of their problems than to rut like the honeymooners they were supposed to be.
His warm rough tongue barged its way into her sensitive intimate folds and all thoughts about talking went out of the window, she had been reduced to a gasping and mewling puddle almost right away. His claws gently scraped her tail, proving that he did love that fluffy little cotton spot.
He liked to have her like this, to reduce the confident and effective dynamo to a helpless creature incapable of coherent thought much less language. To have her as the way nature made her, fertile, amorous and defenseless.
He lifted his gaze from the comfort of her soft thighs to admire the fruits of his labor, she was panting with her legs spread exposing herself fully to him, skin so warm and flushed that made her nose and ears look deep red. The only way she could command him to take her was a soft moan and a glazed look on her luminous eyes, he obliged anyway.
She knew what he wanted, he wanted to be enveloped in her soft arms and comforted from the thousand thoughts and dreads lurking on his mind. He wanted to be told everything would be all right, to focus on the warm affection only her sex could envelope him in.
-"Take me baby, do it as hard as you can. I'm yours"- She whispered softly on his ear, her small tongue licked his whole face, grooming him. A slow whimper was heard from the fox at the sheer joy of hearing those words, his thrusts became deeper and a little faster but not exactly rough. She moaned louder as he pounded her hidden pleasure spots with the expertise only a long passionate relationship could provide, only he could make her scream in ecstasy and loose all her self control, only he could see the careless free spirited side of Judith Hopps.
The climax wasn't coordinated, she came much sooner than him, but it was no problem to ride along until he came as well. Once they were knotted he told her between pants –"I love you"-
Morning hadn't come just yet, looking at his watch Nick groaned, he was too comfortable snuggled next to his wife and the world around their bed felt much colder than usual, the Tundratown climate was not to blame. But life goes on and his recent scheme needed to begin.
-"Carrots wake up"- He shook her shoulders gently
-"Is is morning already?"- She said sleepy
-"No but I arranged a private meeting with Sam before we meet the other bosses and give away our turfs, it's kinda of an insurance or a plan B."-
-"Why didn't you tell me sooner"- Judy grumbled while hastily putting her clothes back on
-"I didn't wanna ruin the mood, and I really wanted to tap that booty of yours before getting to business"- He said with a sly grin, gentle knocking sounded from their door and the vulpine rushed to open it. Samantha strode in with a dead serious expression and after a few courtesies and updates she wasted no time in explaining what Nick had asked her to do.
Judy heard of the scheme Nick had made with an angry frown –"First of all, I know this is a dangerous occupation but you are getting extremely paranoid. And second, I refuse to follow up on this, seriously Nick I won't do it"-
-"If you're so sure he's being paranoid then what's the problem? If nothing happens on the meeting there would be no harm"- Sam asked gently, both her and Nick knew her sister would hate the idea and some serious convincing was necessary if they wanted their plan to succeed.
-"It's the principle of it! I refuse to use you as a decoy for our possible enemies to kill, my life isn't worth more than yours. Nick I can't believe you would be so cynical to come up with something like this"- She eyed him disdainfully
-"Think about it Judy, if Kevin and Raymond are honorable we'll give away our turfs in exchange for our lives and maybe the chance to run it in Ray's name. Sam is very similar to you and they wouldn't notice the difference, everything would turn out fine! But if those guys don't play fair at least you will be alive and able to keep their paws away from our family"- He said in the submissive gentle tone he used to con mammals many years ago, even when Judy knew it was a façade she couldn't help falling for it. –"If they choose to kill us anyway at least you will be safe, and you'll be able to take action from the outside"-
…
All the current bosses of the largest mafia to ever rule Zootopia stood at the cold office where Mr. Big had often iced his enemies. When the bunny and the fox explained to Raymond they would give him their hard earned turf in exchange for peace he agreed, and made the promise to Nick he would let him rule the Savannah under him.
Kevin wasn't happy about the outcome but at least he had to follow someone he could respect, yet before he gave up on his claim the disgruntled white bear felt there were a few issues to deal with, so he removed a knife from below his jacket and gave it to Nick.
-"Raymond will probably name me his second in command, am I right?"- Kevin stared at his comrade and lifelong friend who nodded solemn.
-"It is because of your wife that I had lost the respect from my henchmammals. I'm sorry, but the only way I can assert the power in my new place and make sure no one ever questions it is that the bunny that shamed me dies. It is only a business decision, I have no hard feelings for you"- He told the doe coldly, Nick placed himself in front of the trembling bunny in a protective stance.
-"So that's it? You'll kill Judy so you can ensure your place on top of the food chain?"- The fox said outraged
-"No you will kill her so your place can be settled. Kill your wife, make it painless and fast, and both of us will rule the city below the leader you have chosen yourself."- Kevin smirked at the angry fox, he also knew the power of Greed. Greed had always been a powerful motivation, making it way too easy to turn against those who love you, what the bears offered was a prospect of power and wealth against the life of a small rabbit.
-"This is not an appropriate way to deal with a fellow leader"- Koslov told Raymond –"Do you agree on this?"-
Raymond grumbled but nodded in Kevin's direction –"I do not like it, but it has to be done. Today, under my rule, we begin a new era. We have to get rid of our petty issues before moving forward, Nick has to prove his loyalty to the family and that he won't let his feelings get in the way of our business"-
-"And if I don't want to?"- He would tear his own pelt with a rusty blade before he hurt the bunny next to him.
-"Then I kill you both right now, she will die either way. Choose Nicholas, your family or your wife"- Raymond told him, he was in on it with Kevin. They had come with an olive branch to him and he still took violent actions against them, some leader he turned up to be.
Koslov growled louder this time, placing himself in front of the smaller mammals –"This is not honorable; they came with a fair offer!"-
Raymond spat at the large bear –"Stay out of this! We're talking business. I am the leader now you cannot question me anymore, now bow down and show respect!"- Ten minutes as the leader or the whole mafia and the title had already gotten to his head.
For the next hour the fox tried to reason his way out of it using all the skills in negotiation he collected for two decades, as time went on he even ended up stomping his pride begging on his knees for Kevin and Raymond to spare her life, in the meantime the scared doe hid behind him trembling with fear.
And then Gazelle sang.
"Oh oh oh oh oooh, try everything!" the obnoxious pop song rang in the cold tense room; the bunny looked at her ringing phone and took the call, leaving the pretense of fear –"Hey Judes, did you just hear what Kevin told Nick?"-
-"Yep every word"- Judy's cheerful voice sang from the device
At the shocked expression of all the three polar bears the fox snickered and dropped his scared and desperate act, his pride was a small price to pay in order to distract them –"Guys did you actually think I would bring Judy to this meeting? I knew you had it against her Kevin, for a long time! I knew you might try to pull off something like this, so I made her sister come in her place. They're like two drops of water dontcha' think? Well I didn't really saw it coming, I thought you might just kill us both not try to mindfuck me into killing her, that's sick."- The sly fox shook his head in disapproval, then a smug smile plastered his muzzle as he explained -"While you guys were trying to make me kill my bunny, Judy has been coordinating an attack on the Sahara, and judging by the happy way she sounds I'm guessing she succeeded. Right Carrots?"- He chuckled while looking at his wife smiling on the cellphone screen.
-"Oh yeah that one was fun! Sorry Kevin but your crew likes me more than you so they belong to me now"- She mocked him feigning sympathy.
For weeks Nick had made a few arrangements in the Sahara on Judy's name, little by little he used his contacts on the lower platforms (his friend Finnick had been extremely useful) to set everything up for a riot within that district, leaving everything like a row of dominoes waiting for a little tap to tumble down.
When it was time, all she had to do was show up with her most experienced warriors from the Savannah and Nocturnal into the Sahara's HQ with the proposition to either join her or be killed. Half the turf right there didn't doubt to follow her, since they had always looked up to the brave bunny that killed the nefarious Ke'elan . The rest of the Saharans made the math and realized that while they did like Kevin, he wasn't worth dying for. The few that stayed faithful were promptly killed by their fellow comrades as a sign of loyalty, the few casualties happened without the Savannah crew needing to lift a paw or stain their clothing with blood. It might have been a technically violent invasion but it was short lived.
In less than an hour the Savannah had indexed yet another turf, this one without much bloodshed.
Nick dropped the antics and turned sober as he looked at Kevin –"Had you've been honorable we wouldn't have attacked, but now that you made clear you want a fellow boss dead she had no choice but to take the turf, am I right Fluff?"- He grinned proudly at his brave wife.
-"I did like you Raymond, but you know what? I think we'll keep our turfs, thank you very much. And while we're at it we're taking yours, all of it. Three against one, I think that is a lot of leverage, what do you say Nick?"- Her smile was cute and her voice was cheerful but her eyes were pure evil.
When they realized the slick fox had played both of them Kevin and Raymond lunged at him and Sam but Koslov blocked their paths. -"They offered you a fair trade and you betrayed them, he is right Judy can take over the Sahara. Since they were the only ones that followed our honor code I give them Tundratown, that means four out of five, the family will belong to them."-
-"How dare you betray us for those tiny furballs!"- Raymond said outraged –"We will kill them now and you won't be able to stop us!"—
-"Now I wouldn't do that if I were you, remember I have control over four armies! Touch my fox or my sister and by the time I'm done with you, your pelts will be nothing but a comfy rug on my new office"- The determined venom in her voice made the bears shiver while the fox merely begun to feel horny, he found her very sexy when angry.
-"You have lost Raymond, Kevin."- From her phone Judy admonished both of her new enemies –"As one half of the new leadership of the whole family I sentence you to banishment, you have two hours to leave Zootopia or our wolves will tear you a new one. If you ever put a paw on our city again I will personally make sure that you will be iced, piece by piece."-
The bears hung their head in defeat, they could kill Wilde as revenge but the doe's rage would be unstoppable and either way she would rule the family. If anything considering how they broke the family code by trying to kill a fellow boss they should accept banishment as a magnanimous sentence.
…..
It was depressively familiar for agent Frost and Savage to be tossed into a large bag, again. After the massacre in the Hidden Garden they were supposed to be taken to Cliffside and be held as prisoners, until the mafia could figure out what to do with them. But the hare's acute hearing noticed the mobsters carrying them were talking about a big invasion in several turfs and they couldn't waste too much time dealing with their new prisoners, so they threw the agents into a sports bag seized for an elephant and drove them around.
The vixen suspected the mobsters would kill them once the limo reached its destination, her sharpened claws easily tore a small hole in the bag where they could escape as soon as they left the car. This could be extremely useful should they be thrown into a river, which is a common practice among mobsters so their victims drown.
In the meantime Jack used his own tiny claws to pry open their pawcuffs, he had artificially sharpened and strengthen them for years.
One of the advantages to be huddled close to his partner is that he could whisper into her ears so softly not even a fellow lagomorph could hear him –"As soon as they drop us we jump out and scratch them, all we have is our claws and teeth"-
-"That is useful for me but I doubt you could do much with that cute little muzzle of yours"- Sky smirked playful, Jack lifted an eyebrow and snapped his front buck teeth millimeters away from her face. He may not have sharp fangs but he was more than able to cause harm with those chompers.
–"Point taken"- The vixen conceded.
They felt the bag changing paws and being gently placed into a cold hard surface, the zipper was opened and before the agents could launch their improvised defense they saw several guns pointed at their direction. It wasn't the abundance of firepower directed at them what filled the agents with dread and confusion; it was the fact that the ones holding the guns weren't mobsters but police officers.
