A/N Sorry for the long wait! Life got ahead of me but here's 2 chapters worth of it as an apology enjoy!
The Next Day
Amelia stood in her room staring at a wall covered in pictures.
"Who are you?" she asked aloud staring at a blank piece of paper with 'Bomber' written across the top and a big question mark.
"Delivery!" came a voice from the front door.
She groaned and made her way to the door. She signed for the letter thanking the mammal before shutting the door.
Hello Amelia! I hope you are apt to play the game! Solve the missing mammals' case and I just might introduce myself! And this time it won't be with a gift in your locker!
Sincerely,
The target of your obsession
She snarled before taking a thumb tack and putting the letter on the murder board, tying a string to it and connecting it to the paper labeled 'bomber'. When her alarm clock blared she sighed before getting dressed and heading towards the precinct. When she arrived, Amelia walked in with her usual smile.
"Morning Amelia!" Clawhauser called.
"Good morning Ben" She retorted with a small smile.
"Someones excited.." he teased.
"I guess you could say I am...you know that missing mammal case?" she stated smirking slightly.
"You mean the one Bogo is pacing about?" Ben gasped leaning forward over his desk.
"The very same! I'm about to go and ask Bogo if I can get my paws on it," she stated with a slight chuckle.
"Go get him, sister! Oh and bt dubs I heard from a certain otter you are having tod problems?" ben teased.
Amelia groaned as she turned and started walking away "I'm gonna kill that Hose lover" she grumbled as she stalked up to Chief Bogos office.
"Enter Snowpaw" Bogo shouted from his desk.
'How does he do that?!' she wondered as she opened the door and walked in and stood at attention.
"At ease Snowpaw" Bogo stated as the cape buffalo stared down the Vixen.
"Sir, id like to take on the Missing Mammals case...I feel it is a good chance for me to get my paws back in action" she explained.
"I agree, Starting immediately you are assigned to the Missing mammals' case, But I don't want you in just a single district I want you running point. Start with EmmittOtterton" Bogo stated handing her a case file that had only a single sheet of paper in it. "It's the smallest file but I know you can handle it...prove them all wrong Amelia" Bogo stated hiding his smirk.
Amelia had the biggest smile on her face as she looked over the file on her way out the door only to stop dead in her tracks. Something about the picture was bothering her. She made her way to a computer and zoomed in. her eyes widened when she saw that familiar russet fur covered tail leaving the picture. She groaned as she face-planted onto the keyboard.
'Anyone but him...' she grumbled before printing off his file.
She slowly trudged her way towards the motor pool.
"Morning Amelia! Someone's starting the grind early" Blake called out as he began fishing out a set of keys "where ya heading?"
"City center, gotta track down a certain fox," she stated with a chuckle "and it's never too early to serve and protect"
"Yes, ma'am!" Blake laughed as he tossed her the usual set of keys "drive safe"
"When don't I?" she retorted as she headed towards the squad car. She opened the door and climbed in. no sooner did she have the car cranked up than she was speeding out of the motor pool.
"That fox is gonna be the death of someone" Blake laughed as he hopped down from his stool before going back into the office.
Amelia rode around the city center before she spotted that russet fur pushing a stroller.
Whoop Whoop the siren blared as she pulled the car over beside the fox and his partner in crime.
"Nicholas Wilde, stop right there," Amelia stated as she hopped out of the squad car.
"What is it now officer Snow? I'm currently walking my son" he smirked teasingly.
"I have some questions about an otter that went missing" Amelia sighed "I'm sure your ten dollars worth of pawpsicles can wait" she faked adjusting her uniform slightly as she clicked on the body cam.
"HA! I make two hundred bucks a day! Three hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve. So time is money so why don't you go and bug some other mammal?" Nick grinned.
"Looks like we have to do this the hard way, Nicholas Phiberius Wilde turn around and place your paws behind your back. You are under arrest" Amelia smirked.
"Under what grounds?" he asked appalled.
"Felony Tax evasion, I got you red-pawed. I may not be a bunny but two hundred dollars a day, for roughly two decades that's One million four hundred and sixty...again I'm no bunny but I think I did that math right" she teased.
"Ha! It's my word against yours!" Nick retorted.
Amelia cuffed him and led him to the squad car "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one will be provided to you by the courts. Do you understand your rights as I have read them?"
"Again you have no proof!" Nick shouted.
Amelia sat in the front seat and pulled up a form holding it out for him to view "your tax form says no income reported..." she smirked before pressing play on her laptop. Nick's voice came over the speaker.
"HA! I make two hundred bucks a day! Three hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve. So time is money so why don't you go and bug some other mammal?"
"How's that for your word versus your word?" Amelia grinned. "It's called a hustle sweetheart"
"She hustled you good!" Finnick shouted from outside the car.
"I don't know where he is, I just know where he went" Nick sighed.
"Then let's go, tell me where" Amelia stated from the front seat.
"Oasis Springs" Nick smirked.
The car sped down the streets heading towards the club. Amelia had a slight smirk on her face as they pulled up.
"I love the jewelry but can we ditch the bracelets? It looks so unprofessional" Nick joked.
"Oh yeah of course," she stated after she got out and helped him down. She unlocked the cuffs and put them on her belt again.
The pair entered the building as they spotted the lone yak at the front desk.
"Go see if the yak knows Emmitt Otterton, I'll be right there" Amelia stated before she walked into the bathroom.
Nick shrugged as he walked over to the yak. "Hey, buddy how's it going? My friend and I are wondering if Emmitt Otterton has been here?" He asked.
"Oh yeah old Emmitt, I ain't seen him in a couple of weeks but you should talk to his yoga instructor. I'll take ya back" He stated as he began to walk towards the door.
"You Coming Sow-" Nick started before he turned around and saw a very nude police officer.
"What? It's a naturalist club, gotta fit in" she teased walking past him as her tail swiped under his chin closing his open mouth.
"Ahh Welcome back Amelia, Here to see Nangi? She's in the middle of a class right now" The Yak stated.
The pair followed the yak. Nick's eyes were glued to Amelia's form, her silky white fur, and her fluffy tail. Amelia was doing her best to hide the blush covering her cheeks, as she felt Nicks eyes on her. She gripped her notepad and pen tightly as they made their way to the elephant leading a yoga class.
"Nangi these guys got some questions about Emmittthe otter" Yax stated looking towards Nangi.
"Who?" the elephant replied.
"EmmittOtterton been coming to your class for like six years" he retorted as Amelia produced a picture from her notebook.
"I don't know this beaver," Nangi said.
"He's an Otter actually" Amelia sighed.
"He was here a couple of Wednesdays ago remember?" Yax chuckled.
"No" Nangi replied tersely.
"Yeah he was wearing a cable-knit sweater vest and a new pair of corduroy slacks, and a paisley tie with a sweet Windsor knot, real tight remember that Nangi?" Yax smiled.
"No" Nangi replied once more.
"Yeah and we both walked him out and he got into this nice white car with a silver a tune up cause the third cylinder wasn't firing, remember that Nangi?" he chuckled again.
Apparently, the yack has a better memory than the Elephant Amelia thought with a smirk as she jotted down the notes.
"No" Nangi replied again.
"Did you happen to catch the plate?" Amelia asked with a grin.
"Oh yeah, it was 2-9-T-H-D-0-3" Yax replied.
"Thank you were such a good help!" Amelia grinned. "Namaste Nangi" she bowed politely.
"Namaste Silver One" Nangi stated with a small smile.
"Wait you are a member?!" Nick asked in awe.
"Huh? Oh yeah, Little Amelia has been coming here for several months now" Yax smiled.
"It helps calm the nerves, shall we go?" Amelia questioned as she turned around giving Nick a full frontal view.
Nick stood still his eyes wide as saucers and his jaw dropped. She walked past him with a giggle.
"Easy tiger, can't play with the goods" she stated closing his jaw with her paw.
Nick shook his head before following after her. He couldn't understand this cop, one moment she was all business the next she's naked.
Amelia quickly got redressed before joining Nick out at the squad car "it's going to take forever to run the plate from this computer" she groaned.
"Why don't we go see an old friend of mine? He can run the plate for us and be done in a jiffy" Nick smirked.
"Nice try Slick, but I think I'll take my chances with my computer" She laughed quickly inputting the tag number. "That was fast, ok it belongs to Tundra town Limo Service"
"Tell me how do you keep your fur so soft?" Nick asked.
"Lots of hard work" she laughed before she drove off.
"Ok, why can't I be in the front seat?" Nick grumbled from the back.
"Are you a cop? No, no you aren't" Amelia teased.
She rolled down the window as she drove down the streets of tundra town, enjoying the cold air rushing through her fur.
"I'm freezing can we close the window?" Nick asked shivering slightly.
"No can do slick, I for one enjoy and need the cold" Amelia stated.
"So that's how you keep your fur white...you legitimately are an arctic vixen" Nick grinned.
"Took ya long enough slick" she laughed as she pulled up to the Limo company.
Amelia got out and opened the door for Nick, before proceeding towards the front desk.
"Welcome to Tundra town Limo Service how can I help you?" a Polar bear asked.
"Hi I'm Officer Amelia Snowpaw with the ZPD, I have a question about one of your Limos. Tag number 29THD03" She stated.
"Anything for a fellow cold mammal in the 5-0" the polar bear chuckled before going onto the computer. "Let's see it was last rented to Mr. Rasputin Big" the bear stated.
"Mr. Big? Come on Snow white let's go" Nick remarked trying to drag her out of the motor pool.
"Nice try slick," she stated shrugging him off "can I get an address for Mr. Big? I have a few questions for him"
"I can't give you an address without a warrant but I can make a call and see if he would be ok with me passing on the information" the polar bear smiled softly.
"That would be amazing, thank you" She grinned.
"Hey us cold weather mammals gotta stick together" he stated.
Nick pulled Amelia away for a moment, looking slightly panicked.
"How about this...you delete the footage and I'll walk away now...you got this in the bag..." Nick chuckled nervously.
"How about no slick Nick? Why are you so scared?" Amelia asked curiously.
"I may or may not have sold him a shag rug...that was made out of the hair of skunk...butts..." Nick chuckled again.
"You did not..."Amelia groaned as the polar bear spoke up.
"Mr. Big would be happy to talk to you" he stated "he's sending a car to collect you right away"
"Oh, crud..."Amelia grumbled.
A few minutes later a limo pulled up outside of the motor pool. Two big polar bears stepped out and held the door open for the two mammals to enter the vehicle.
"If we die I'm killing you" Amelia seethed glaring at Nick.
"Wait how can you do that?" he asked nervously.
"Just watch me" she growled as they climbed into the car.
The two foxes sat between the massive polar bears as they rode to Mr. Big's house. Nick was fidgeting the entire time while Amelia sat calmly beside him.
"Why aren't you nervous?" Nick asked.
"Ever been in front of an explosive device? Kits crying as they think this might be their last day alive?" Amelia questioned "I have, this is nothing compared to an explosive"
"What on earth made you get into that line of work?" Nick asked wide-eyed.
"I have a knack for it, Small hands and a quick wit, besides...Had War- He not found me I would still be passing out tickets in Tundra Town." She laughed.
"Right...and it has nothing to do with your explosive personality" Nick teased.
Amelia shook her head and looked out the window as they approached the big house.
The two polar bears escorted them inside the moment they pulled up. Amelia watched from where they sat as one after other polar bears filed into the room before one set down a tiny seat.
"You come here unannounced on the day my daughter is to be married" Mr. Big stated.
"Actually sir we called ahead.."Amelia stated as Nick gasped slightly.
"And who are you?" Mr. Big asked.
"She's no one!" Nick tried to lie.
"Amelia Snowpaw, ZPD" She started producing her badge.
"Wait I know you, ain't you that fox that worked with Old man Tusk?" Mr. Big asked.
"Y-Yes" she stammered her back going rigid.
"I owed Tusk a debt, I was sorry to hear of his passing," he nodded "How can I repay the favor?"
"I have some questions for you about Emmitt Otterton" Amelia smiled softly.
"Otterton was my florist. He's like a part of the family. He had something important he wanted to discuss. That's why I sent that car to pick him up. But he never arrived." Mr. Big explained.
"Because he was attacked?" Amelia questioned, to which Mr. Big shook his head.
"No...He attacked. He went crazy. Ripped up the car, scared my driver half to death, and disappeared into the night" Mr. Big explained.
"But he's a sweet little otter" Amelia gasped in shock.
"My child, we may be evolved...but deep down, we are still animals" Mr. Big replied "you want to find Otterton? Talk to my driver. His name is Manchas, lives in the rainforest district...only he can tell you more"
Amelia nodded as she and Nick left from the compound.
"I didn't know you knew Mr. Big" Nick said shocked.
"I don't...he knew my predecessor" Amelia sighed.
Nick followed behind her in disbelief and sorrow. The man he had helped kill was turning out to be an upstanding member of the ZPD.
"Before you get in the car...paws behind your back" Amelia stated as a polar bear stood beside a car.
"Wait really?" Nick gawked.
"I'm dead serious... I still don't fully trust you.." Amelia retorted.
Nick sighed putting his paws behind his back.
"Nicholas Phiberius Wilde you're under arrest for felony tax evasion, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney if you cannot afford one then one will be provided by the courts do you understand your rights as I have read them" Amelia sighed.
"You really gotta do that every time don't you?" Nick laughed.
"Every time I cuff you I have to read you your rights otherwise I lose my badge" Amelia shrugged as she put the cuffs around his wrists and put him into the back of the limo.
As soon as the two canids were in the car the polar bear drove off. Nick sat quietly beside her as he looked out the window.
"Tell me about Warren," Nick asked.
"it's none of your concern" Amelia spat.
"Jeez, just wanted to know about the guy that gave a fox a chance" Nick scoffed.
"S-Sorry...it's just..he's not an easy subject for me to talk about..." Amelia whimpered as she glanced out the window of the car enjoying the sights of tundra town.
"Well from what Mr. Big said he sounded like a great guy...wish I coulda met him" Nick smiled softly.
Amelia just nodded her, she could feel the stinging in her eyes as tears threatened to pour out.
The duo rode in silence for the rest of the way to the squad car. Nick didn't know what to tell her..he wanted to take the blame for it and let her hate him instead of herself but he was more afraid of how she would react. When the car pulled up out front of the tundra town limo service, one of the two polar bears opened the door for the two canids. Amelia watched as they drove off.
"So off to tundra town?" Nick asked.
Amelia went to speak but her gaze narrowed as she saw something on the windshield of her car. She walked over removing the paper and reading what was written.
Dearest Amelia,
I hope this finds you well. You are doing so good, Ol Tusky would be proud of you...NOT! You are so far away from what needs to be done...and to think a clue to me is like a side view mirror...
Sincerely,
Your favorite bomber
Amelia growled slightly as she folded the note up and put it underneath her vest.
"Something wrong?" Nick asked curiously.
"Just some propa-" she started as a glint caught her eye "Nick get down!" She shouted as she tackled the orange canid as a stinging sensation radiated from her neck.
She keyed the mic on her vest.
" Zulu 221 to city central...10-71 Officer down" Amelia growled as she began to feel weird.
The radio could be heard blaring from the squad car.
"All Units! All units officer down tundra town Limo Service all available units respond!" Clawhausers voice blared.
"Amelia! W-what can I do?" Nick asked worriedly.
"I-I don't know.," she growled before she got down on all four legs and growled softly at Nick.
"A-Amelia? A-are you ok?" Nick gulped.
She stalked closer to Nick with her teeth bared. Nick gulped as he tried to think of a way out of this.
Come on slick Nick...think... he pondered as he gauged their surroundings. His eyes locked on the handcuff keys on her side. If I can get those keys I might be able to do something...
Nick circled around with Amelia his eyes finally moving up towards hers and all in a moment she stopped moving. Nick took the chance and tackled her to the ground as sirens could be heard coming closer.
"Amelia! This is Sharpe I'm almost there! Do you copy?" a voice called over the radio.
Nick laid on top of her as he used his own weight to hold her down. Her tail began twitching very slightly.
"Amelia, what are you? Oh god," he groaned as a familiar scent hit his nose. "What is going on with you...are you really in heat right now?"
Amelia murred as she ground her backside against his crotch. Nick groaned as he felt a tingle of arousal surge through him.
"Hands in the air!" a voice shouted.
"Easy! Easy! I'm cuffed! She took the shot for me" Nick stated as he felt someone lift him up.
"Snowpaw, you alright?" the painted dog asked as she growled.
"Savage animal!" another cop spat as he shot a dart into her hindquarters.
Amelia swayed slightly before she collapsed to the ground.
