Chapter Two: Affirmation
A/N Some of you might hate me by the middle of this chapter. ;-)
Whoo! That took long to write! I made it long so you can really get to know Skye's character before we introduce Jack briefly at the very end. This is one of those odd chapters where Judy's got the majority of the funny lines.
6:05pm At Nick's apartment.
Nick was getting ready for his date with Judy. Finnick was hanging out in the background, making more pawpsicles. "Took you long enough to ask that rabbit out." The old fenneck fox said.
"I've been getting up the nerve for a year now," Nick replied. "That said...I'm still not sure this is right."
"What do you mean?"
"What if I'm wrong about my feelings and I screw up the best friendship I've ever had?"
"Second best."
"No hard feelings Finn."
"None taken brother. Judy's a good woman. I was taking you down the wrong path, but Judy? She turned your life around. Mine too to be honest. I mean, look at me. I've actually gone legit! Who'd have thought that would ever happen?"
"Yeah...I'm getting older and older Finn. Getting a little white on the muzzle. I want a family! I have to settle down someday."
"Not me! I love being free! You'll never see me tied down to one woman."
"Not while you're still wearing diapers. You know we're not doing any cons anymore right?"
"Couldn't kick the habit."
Nick turned around. He was wearing a pastel-colored, striped suit with a straw hat. "So...How do I look?"
"I'd say your mother dresses you funny, but I know your mother and she has WAY better taste than that!"
"Thanks a lot. It's a classic style ice cream parlor so I thought I'd match the old, turn of the century look."
"You look like my great, great grandpa."
"It's charming! Anyway, I gotta get going. Our date starts at 6:30."
"See you later man. Oh and Nick?"
"Yeah?"
"Make sure you get a kiss from her tonight."
"It'd be a horrible date if I didn't, but why?"
"You're not a hundred percent sure on your feelings for her and probably neither is she. You kiss her, you'll both know for sure."
"I know. That's the part that scares me."
A little while later, Judy made it to Jumbeaux's and Jerry took her to the small mammal table in the corner. "Can I get ya started with anythin'?" the big elephant asked.
"Just a diet coke," she replied.
"Oh sure. Gotta watch yer figure when also havin' a big bowl of ice cream," Jerry replied sarcastically. "One diet soda comin' up."
As Jerry was walking toward the soda machine, Nick had entered the cafe'. Jerry stopped and looked at him. "I told ya before fox. We have 'da right to refuse service 'ta anyone!"
Nick glared at the elephant. "Well then. I might need to have the health inspector give this place a good look."
The two glared at each other. It lasted a few seconds before they finally started to laugh. "You sly old fox!" Jerry chuckled. "How's Finn doin'?"
"He's getting another batch of pawpsicles ready as we speak," Nick replied.
"Good 'ta hear. I expect him around tomorrow mornin'. Yer partner's waitin' over there."
Nick looked over and saw Judy sitting in an elegant dress. He felt like a slob in comparison to her.
Judy saw Nick and just had to laugh. "Are you planning on joining a barbershop quartet?"
"No, but I might do the Charleston later. I mean, this ice cream parlor has that 'turn of the century' look so..."
"Charleston was the roaring 20's."
"Close enough."
"Well you look cute."
" 'Cute'. Great. Now I know why you hate that word so much."
"...I like the straw hat."
"Yeah?"
"It brings out your ears since they poke out of the top."
"Thanks."
He scooted over to her and Jerry came back to take their orders. They both ordered the baby bowls as they were still larger than most smaller mammals could finish. As they ate their sundaes, Judy started to talk.
"So Nick?"
"Yeah Carrots?"
"...Why now?...Why after all this time?"
"Well I've always kind of admired that dress style and I think a straw hat looks great on..."
"I mean dating me! Dating your partner of over two years! Your best friend of three years!"
"Honestly, I've been wanting to do this for a long, long time. I just never knew how to approach it. You know I've dated quite a few vixens over the last few years."
"Right. I was your wingman on two of them."
"Right. But whenever things got serious...I bailed out. You see Judy...foxes mate for life."
"Hold that thought!" Judy got out a large card from her purse and put a stamp on it. "There! Only one more to go!"
"What's that?"
"The Zootopia fanfic trope bingo card. I got the phrase 'foxes mate for life'. All I need is a mention of my eyes being 'orbs' or we meet a human in Zootopia and I win!"
"I gotta check mine when I get home. But seriously, that means I refuse to have sex with them unless I know they're the one I want to be with for life and when I got real close, I ran off. So far...the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with...is you."
Judy kept eating her sundae. "I am a pretty hard act to follow."
Nick chuckled. "True. Then there's the fact that I'm getting older. I'm 36 now and I want to settle down a bit and have children."
"You want out of the police force?"
"No!...No I just...I want a family. Don't you?"
"Kind of, but there's something you need to..."
"Let me finish. This is why I'm looking forward to going to detective. Not being a beat cop or going undercover means less danger for the both of us. I know we'll be at desks a lot, but we'll still be making the world a better place..."
Judy checked her bingo card again. "Not on there."
"...and still have some downtime for some kids."
"Nick.."
"I know what you're going to say. You're a bunny, I'm a fox. The chances of us conceiving a hybrid is only 20 % and there may be complications, but..."
"Stop!" Judy yelled. "Nick...the chances of us having children together are zero percent."
"...What?"
"By the time I hit 15, I found out what periods were. I also realized I never had one. My mom took me to the doctor and we found out that I was infertile. I had a birth defect along the Fallopian tubes that cut them off. I...I can't have any children. I'm sorry."
Nick sat there. A depressed look came across his face. "I'm...I'm so sorry Judy. I never knew."
"Barely anyone knows. In bunny culture if you can't breed, well...some will treat you like your worthless."
"Y'know, there's a lot of bunny orphans would could use a good home. And besides..."
"Nick!...Look...I love you. You are closer to me than anyone in my life. Even my own siblings! But I...I'm just not sure I feel the way you want me to feel towards you."
She caressed his cheek and brought it to her face. "Nick, look at me. I want you to find yourself a good woman. I'll always be there for you. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be happy to be 'Aunt Judy' to your kids. Okay?"
Nick gave a warm smile back. "Okay." They then both heard "The Charleston" playing on the jukebox. Nick chuckled. "Oh that HAD to be Jerry! C'mon Fluff. Let's trip the light fantastic!"
The two danced the Charleston and laughed together. The rest of the date went well. After a little while, Nick drove Judy back to her apartment. They stopped at the curb.
Judy looked up at Nick. "Thanks for tonight. I promise you this Nick. No matter what, I'll always be there for you. You're my partner. You have my back and I have yours."
"Always." Nick said with a smile. "That said, this is the end of a date and...and I need to know for sure."
Judy understood. "So do I. Come here."
Judy pulled Nick close and their lips met. Moments passed and their lips then parted. A confused look was on their face.
Judy was the first to speak up. "That wasn't very..."
"...Yeah," Nick replied. "That was weird. One more?"
"Okay. With a little tongue this time."
"Alright."
The two kissed again. This time more passionately. They parted their lips again. They had their answer.
Nick smiled. "That was..."
"Awful, right?!" Judy said excitedly.
"R-Right! It was gross! Like french kissing my mother! And this isn't the fanfic for that!"
"I didn't feel any kind of sexual attraction at all! And I experimented in college!"
Nick quickly hugged Judy. "Carrots! Do you know what this means?!"
"It means our close, platonic relationship over the last three years caused us to have a sibling-like bond. So while we love each other, we don't find each other physically attractive!"
"Exactly! I can date vixens now without thinking 'What if?!' Finnick actually gave me good advice!"
"I find even the thought of having sex with you repulsive!"
"Me too! Isn't it wonderful?! We're like siblings! It's like a huge weight's been lifted off my shoulders."
"I'm so happy for you Nick!"
"Thanks Carrots."
Judy then undid her seat belt. "Well, make sure to pack up everything for our trip!"
"You got it. I still have a little more shopping to do."
"You wanna go shopping together tomorrow?"
"Nah. I wanted to say goodbye to my mom. I told her that we're doing some undercover work overseas with another police force."
"Good one! I think I'll use that with my parents. Then our stories match. I'm so glad that we got our feelings sorted out."
"Me too Carrots. I'll pick you up in the morning Thursday."
"Good night!"
"Goodnight." He watched her go up into the stairs until she was out of sight. The sad fox immediately covered his head, leaned it against the steering wheel and sobbed. In truth, he still had feelings for her. "That was a great acting job Nick," he said to himself. "Never let them see that they get to you."
Two mornings later...
Nick and Judy were being driven by police van. Wolford was dropping them off to their destination. He was listening in on the GPS.
"In two miles, turn right and you'll be at your destination." The GPS said in a monotone voice.
"I'm not sure this things workin'," Wolford replied. "I see nuttin' but a lot of nuttin'!"
"I know where we're going asshole."
"Alright! Alright! Sheesh! Touchy GPS."
They then looked out their window and saw their destination. A dumpy-looking garage out in the middle of nowhere. Nick took a good look. "I think we're being bamboozled."
"'Dese are 'da coordinates Bogo gave me. What's 'dis all about you two?"
"Top secret," Judy replied.
"Whatevah. Just hurry up and get out. I gotta head back."
Nick panicked. "Wait! What if this is the wrong location?!"
The GPS sounded off. "Are you calling me a fucking liar?!"
"No-No! It's just...Something seems off."
"Don't mess with 'da GPS." Wolford added. "I got orders 'ta head right back. Sorry guys."
Wolford threw their luggage out and took off. The two looked at each other. "Well...no turning back now," Judy said.
"Right," Nick replied.
The two headed inside. By all appearances, it was the lobby of a car repair garage. There was a bell on the desk. Nick rang it.
A southern, feminine voice shouted back. "Ah'll be thar in two shakes of a rattlesnakes tail!"
Judy looked at Nick. "Doesn't sound like a secret agent."
"Appearances can be deceiving," Nick replied. They then were surprised by a small, polar bear cub running past the desk to meet them.
"Hi!" the little bear said. Smiling and waving. "I'm Morris!"
Judy waved back. "Hi there little guy! Are your parents here?"
"No. Just aunt Skye. Guess how old I am!"
"Five hundred." Nick joked.
"Ha-Ha! No. This many!" The cub held up one paw and one finger. Indicating he was five.
Judy knelt down. "Oooh. You're a big bear aren't you?!"
It was then that the lady with the southern voice came out from behind. "Morris sugar, you know better than 'ta just meet strangers without me around!"
Nick took a good look at her. She was an arctic fox with incredibly fluffy fur. Despite wearing a baseball cap with overalls and being covered in grease, she was stunningly beautiful to him.
"Sorry 'bout that. Ah'm Skye. Skye Chaser."
"Are you from S.N.O.U.T.?" Judy asked.
Skye leered at her suspiciously. "Ah don't know what yer talkin' about, but..." She squinted at Judy. "Yer oil change will be done in a hour."
Judy was totally confused. "...What oil change? We were told to come to these coordinates."
"...Yer oil change will be done in an hour. Wink, wink."
Nick and Judy stared at her in confusion. Finally, Nick spoke up. "Were we supposed to give you a password?"
Skye looked upset. "They didn't give y'all a password?!"
"Ummm...no."
The vixen threw her arms up in frustration. "Dag-nabbit! Now I gotta get some info on y'all! Hold on. Ah gotta make a call." She got her cell phone out. She then pointed at Nick. "You! Orange peel. Can you hold still fer a moment?"
Nick was confused. "Umm...sure. But why'd you call me 'Orange Peel'?"
"Ah have a hard time rememberin' names of people unless ah'm really fond 'o them. Ah babysit Morris here and he's very dear to me, so ah remember his name. Ah'm just takin' yer picture real quick and sendin' it 'ta mah momma."
"...Why?"
"'Ta see if you'd be a good potential mate. Now, if'n y'all excuse me fer a moment. I gotta call 'ta make. Ah need yer identity."
Morris chimed in "I know them aunt Skye!"
Nick interrupted. "Wait, what's this about a potential mate?!"
"Hush!" Skye replied. "What are ya sayin' Morris?"
Morris pointed at the two. "That's Judy Hopps and that's Nick Wilde! They're famous cops. My dad almost iced them!"
Nick then realized who the bear was. "Wait a minute! You must be Koslov's kid!"
"That's right! He's my poppa!"
Nick and Judy then looked at each other. "Waait a minute! What's Koslov doing with some top secret organization?"
Skye explained. "Frosty? Oh, he's been with us fer a year now. He quit the crime life 'cuz he wanted a better future fer his son. He's not only good muscle but he's very smart too. He couldn't get anyone 'ta watch Morris, so ah became his nanny." She picked up the cub and hugged him. "Ah love takin' care of him. He's such a little sugar booger!"
Morris was fussing. "Aunt Skye! You're getting grease all over me!"
Skye let him go. "Sorry sug, but yer just too huggable! Well, since he identified you, ah guess y'all can come in the back. Welcome to S.N.O.U.T. officers...ummm."
Judy introduced her and Nick. "Morris just said. I'm Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde."
"Well ah ain't-a gonna remember that so he's still Orange Peel and you're ummm..."
Nick interrupted. "I call her 'Carrots'. Her family are carrot farmers down in Bunnyburrow."
"Well howdy neighbor! Ah'm from Deerbrooke! Ah used 'ta date a feller from Bunnyburrow. Carrots it is!"
"I still don't know why you called me 'orange peel'"
"Because yer color is a dark orange but ya got a bit of white underneath. 'Specially around the muzzle.'"
Nick felt around his muzzle while Judy laughed. "HA! You're getting old Slick!"
"I'm not that old Carrots."
"By the way Orange Peel, how old are yew?" Skye asked. "This is important."
"I'm 36. Why?"
"Good! Ah'm 33 and mah biological clock is-a tickin'!" Skye then checked her phone. "Momma called back! Hold on...Yes Momma...I could do worse. Yea." She put the phone on her shoulder. "She says you look handsome and I agree somewhat."
"Somewhat?!"
She then put the phone to her ear again., "What's that momma? Okay I'll ask. How's yer sperm count?"
"What?! I don't know that?!"
She went back to her phone. "He says he don't know...Well ah can't get a sample right here! There's a little one present! Ah'll do it later."
"I agree that would be bad. Also, while you are attractive, you are being WAY too forward!"
"I gotta go momma. Luv ya!" She hung up the phone. "Ah'm sorry, mah social skills are somewhat limited. Keeps me from getting potential mates and mah momma keeps buggin' me fer grandkids. Ah'm super intelligent, can build almost any machine and program in every language but...it's like all mah smarts moved to one side 'o mah brain. Ah can't remember names well, ah can't remember what day it is and ah tend to focus on unimportant stuff. Doctors say ah'm either dyslexic or low level autistic. Still, mah technical skills have been a valuable asset to S.N.O.U.T. Lemme show ya!"
As she led the way, Judy nudged Nick. "She's near your age and wants kids! Single and ready to mingle!"
"And a bit crazy." Nick replied. "Gotta admit though, she is cute."
She took them to what looked like a closet. There was an odd plate on the side that she had to dip her face into. It scanned her eyes and fur to make sure she matched up. The closet unlocked and it was revealed to be an elevator. "We're headin' downstairs noOOOOOWOOOOOW!"
"What on earth was that?!" Nick asked.
"Ah am so sorry! Ah got IHS."
"IHS?"
"Irritable howl syndrome. I sometimes just howl out of nowhere and frankly, mah howl is terrible! Mah grandpa on mah mother's side was an arctic wolf so ah got a little wolf in me. Ah also got IBS, but that just means ah fart some."
"Pull her finger!" Morris said excitedly.
"I'd rather not," Judy replied.
The four of them went into the elevator and Skye pressed the button for the bottom floor. Within moments, the doors opened and both Nick and Judy were stunned by what they saw. Above them was a flying car just hovering. It was shiny and beautiful, they could see it was a marvel of engineering. Monitors were everywhere, showing the insides of S.N.O.U.T. headquarters along with some of the rooms in Skye's garage. "Welcome to Skytech!" Sky said. "This is where ah work on some of mah inventions. The garage upstairs is just a front of course! Although we still do repairs on cars if asked, but we charge a high price 'ta try to keep folks away."
Nick then saw another arctic fox who looked just like Skye working on an engine. "Is this your twin sister?" the red fox asked.
"That thar's Two. She's an android duplicate o' me ah built 'ta work on repairs and keep me company when ah ain't watchin' Morris. She's got a bit of mah personality so ah don't feel so lonely out here."
"Howdy," the android said with a monotone voice. "Pull mah finger."
Skye moved Nick closer to the android. "Go ahead! Watch what happens."
Nick complied. "Ummm...okay." He pulled the finger of the android. It let out a simulated fart noise that made Skye and Morris crack up.
"Ain't that great! She has twenty different fart sounds that ah recorded from mah own tooter!"
"Hilarious." Nick said sarcastically.
"She can hold a conversation with me too. Ain't that right Two?"
"...yes." the android replied. In a monotone voice.
"See? She's a real motormouth."
Judy was still shocked. "I can't believe there was a hidden S.N.O.U.T. Base underneath Sahara Square this whole time!"
"Oh this ain't the base. This is just one of mah garages ah work out of. Ah've got a few of these all over the United Plains. In order to get to S.N.O.U.T. headquarters, we gotta head to northern Canida."
Both Judy and Nick were stunned. "NORTHERN CANIDA?!"
"That's hundreds of miles away!" Nick shouted. "How are we supposed to get there? The flying car?!"
"Naww," Skye replied. "That'd take forever. We're taking the Bubble Blaster!" She then used a remote to reveal a large, sphere-like vehicle right at the beginning of a tunnel. It was clear on all sides like a giant window. The large sphere was attached to four tracks that went deep inside the tunnel "This here baby goes from zero to a thousand mph in ten seconds. The G forces are harsh at first, but you'll survive!"
It was then that they all heard a loud, ringing noise. "It's the video phone. Hold on!"
She hit a button and a large monitor came on. Koslov was on the other side. "Miss Chaser! Are you there?"
"Howdy Frosty!" Skye replied. "Ah got the two officers here."
Koslov looked at her sternly. "You should have informed us the moment they arrived."
Skye was nervous. "A-Ah'm sorry! There was some complications. The agency didn't give them the password so ah was gonna call, but then Morris..."
"Leave my son out of this! You had orders to call us the moment they arrived."
"Ah...ah'm sorry sir. Ah was just about 'ta head out with them now."
"Vell see that you do. Once they arrive, you can come back to garage."
Skye's ears drooped. "B-But ah was gonna show them around mahself!"
"Vee don't need you here right now."
Nick saw the sad look on Skye's face and decided to speak up. "If I may interrupt, she's been nothing but nice to both me and Judy and we'd love to have her company a bit longer."
Koslov was surprised. "Seriously? Hunh...I thought only Morris cared for her silliness...Alright, she can stay at our headquarters for the time beink. But hurry up! Tusk does not like beink kept vaiting." Koslov then hung up.
Judy was upset too. "Well that's a lousy way to treat her! Skye, you're a very sweet girl and you deserve better than that."
"I agree," Nick added.
"Me too!" said Morris.
"Ah am programmed to comply," replied Two.
Skye was almost in tears. "Aww you guys!" She hugged the two of them together.
This upset Judy. "Hold on Skye! You're still covered in grease!"
She immediately let go. Nick and Judy now had grease all over them. "Ah am so sorry! Quick! Let's all shower together."
"What?!"
"It's okay! We'll keep our clothes on. The 'Skye Wash and Dry' (patent pending) washes and dries both you and your clothes while you're in them!"
"It's fun!" said Morris. "It's like a car wash!"
Moments later, they were cleaned and boarding the Bubble Blaster. Nick sat in front while Judy sat in the back with Morris.
Skye was attending to the bear cub. She handed him a video game system and strapped him in."Here's yer Pawstation Snitch! Now you be a good bear while aunt Skye steers this thing."
Nick was a little confused. "Pawstation Snitch? Don't you mean a Nine-Ten-Doe Snitch?"
"Ah reversed engineered the two systems and combined them into one."
"Cool! Can you make one for me?!"
"Sure thing sweetie! You stay there while ah say goodbye 'ta Two." She went over to her robotic duplicate and gave her a huge hug followed by a kiss. "Now you hold the fort while ah'm gone darlin'."
"Yes dear," the digital doppelganger replied.
Skye went back to the car and sat down. "Now you and...Carrots was it? Hold on tight, cuz this here's the fastest ride on earth!"
Judy was bummed. "Great, now I got two people calling me CarrOOOOOTS!"
The Bubble Blaster shot into the tube at full speed. It was going so fast that Nick and Judy were being crushed into their seats. Meanwhile, Skye kept talking. "Ah was able 'ta make these tunnels usin' a large drill of mah own invention. A giant drill with sonar built in so ah don't accidentally hit pipes or power lines. Easy 'ta do when yer deep underground. How are y'all enjoyin' the trip?"
Nick could barely speak. "My eyeballs are hitting the back of my skull!"
"You'll get used to it. Y'all just gotta adjust to the air pressure in here. Wait until we reach the earth's core!"
"EARTH'S CORE?!" Nick and Judy shouted together.
"Relax! It's harmless. You get to see some molten lava and stalactites! But what you really wanna not do is use any sprays or add any other chemicals into this car. It's air tight and circulates oxygen from a tank in the back. What comes in here, stays in here and furtherm-PPFFFFFRRRRRTTT!......Ah am so sorry. It's mah IBS. That's gonna be with us the whole trip."
Judy was choking on the fumes. "Pheeeww! I'm stuck with this?!"
"I'm used to it," said Morris who was still playing his game..
"Not that bad," Nick replied. In his mind he thought. "Why am I kinda turned on?"
The trip was a roller coaster ride of intense speed (and stink). Nick and Judy were slowly able to bring themselves forward a bit. Judy was amazed at how Morris was taking the G forces. He just played his video game like it was a car trip. "Here comes the lava Miss Hopps!"
Nick and Judy looked out the windows. It was amazing. A giant volcanic cavern deep underneath the earth. They could see stalactites above of different shapes and sizes that were lit up by the magma a good distance below them. They "ooh'ed" and "aww'ed" at the scene on display.
"This is incredible!" Nick commented. He then looked over at Skye. "You're incredible."
The white fur on Skye's face couldn't hide her blush. She had a smile a mile wide. "Thank yew fer that."
Judy saw the exchange and it made her happy. Maybe, just maybe her partner had finally found his mate.
Within the hour they arrived at the basement of SNOUT headquarters. Koslov and Ronald Tusk were already waiting for them. The floor opened and the capsule rose out of the ground. The doors then opened. Judy quickly got out and gasped for air. "Oh thank goodness! I might be stuck with this stink for days!"
Tusk was embarrassed. "Skye, did you break wind in the Bubble Blaster again?"
"Ah can't help that!" Skye explained.
"It's fine sir," Nick added. "Skye's been a wonderful host."
"Well Wilde and Hopps, welcome to SNOUT I hear you two are familiar with Koslov?"
"Oh sure. He's had his paws around my throat once or twice."
Koslov came over to apologize. "I yam sorry you two. Those, violent, creeminal days are behind me. I've lost too much. One time in crossfire, I...I lost my wife, Now, I vant a better world for my son. Speakink of...come Morris!"
"Pappa!" Morris ran over and hugged his father while holding on to his game system.
"Vas Skye good to you?"
"She always is! I love her poppa."
"That ees good. I just weesh she'd learn her place around here."
This upset Judy. "You know, for a brilliant engineer who also treats your son like family, you don't treat her very well."
Tusk explained. "Skye can be a bit of a screw up. She's brilliant, but she tends to like to tinker with things she shouldn't."
"Tinker with what?"" Nick asked.
"Ask the toaster."
Nick was confused. "The toaster?!"
Skye tried to explain. "Ah kind of gave it sentience. Oh! You two should meet muffin! Y'all will be working with him anyway."
"Muffin?" Judy asked.
Tusk explained. "He means Jack. Jack Savage. He's currently working out at the gym. Why don't you two go meet him? Then meet us at room 21B in a half-hour. Do NOT be late!"
Skye volunteered. "Ah'll take them muhself sirrrrrrOOOOOOWWW!"
Tusk cocked an eyebrow. "Ah yes. The irritable howl syndrome. Try to get that under control Skye!"
Nick and Judy followed Skye while Morris went off with his dad. Nick was getting upset. "I swear, they treat you like your the janitor or something. You make all their best tech!"
"They're just uncomfortable with mah...offbeat personality."
"So why do you call Jack 'muffin'?" Judy asked.
"On account o' he's short and sweet. We tried datin' fer a short time but we're, well...incompatible. Too big a size difference ah guess. We're still friends though!"
Nick looked at Judy. "Sounds like someone I know."
"Oh har-har." Judy replied. "Well, we're here. So where is this...ummmmm..."
It was lust at first sight. Judy was mesmerized by the hare. He was shirtless and hitting a punching bag. Jack saw the three of them looking at him. He stopped and wiped some of his sweat off with a towel.
He approached the two with the towel thrown over his shoulder. "Sorry I didn't see you there. You must be the officers they brought in for this assignment. The name's Savage. Jack Savage."
Judy eyed up and down the hare's body. His muscular frame could not have been more perfect. His face could not have been more handsome to her. His pecs were incredible. The sweat from his trunks tightened his shorts and it's indent left little to the imagination.
Nick noticed Judy was unable to speak, so he started the introductions. "I'm Nick Wilde and this is my partner..."
An aroused Judy finally spoke. "Judy Humps...HOPPS! Judy Hopps! Sorry. You must work out well. I was admiring your pecker-PECKS! Your abs. I work out very hard too. Would you like to work out on me-with me later?!" Embarrassed, she immediately pulled her ears over her face.
Nick leaned in and whispered. "Subtle."
