Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances

Chapter 11 – No, you´re not!

POV Cammy

At first, I didn´t want to go there. When I got home, I didn´t even had the motivation to call Suzanne and tell her about my new problem. The itching was bearable at the moment, but it stressed me. Before I went home, I was in the drugstore and got myself a new perfume for this evening. One, that should help against the mating season issues a little. I used it immediately after taking a shower, and it really made a difference. It really me forget the itching and the desire a little.

Now, I felt like I could stand through this night in the night club, the place of the dealership discussion this evening. At first, it wondered me a little why they planned it exactly there, but then I only noticed the upsides of it. Nobody would expect a sex bar, they weren't allowed to film in there, other guests around would be distracted anyways, and probably, just probably, I could find someone afterwards, who was willing to help me with certain problems. Maybe sex would help a little, even if I couldn´t have it with the man of my dreams. I hated that bunny so much all over sudden, I clenched my fists every time I was thinking about it.

But the perfume really made me forget about it for now, and I could fully concentrate on the important part of this evening. Alongside with coffee and donuts, I have been selling other substances to certain customers since a few months already, and that worked even better that I ever imagined it would. So naturally, I wanted to keep that business running, and therefore I needed more material to sell. I wanted to get a solid and big part of the latest shipment for me. I was hyped about this deal of course, but I didn´t want to mess it up as well, so I went for my most serious outfit, fixed my fur, took another spray of the new perfume and went for it, even if I was a little bit early. Better early than late. I hated being late.

POV Nick

"Hey Sarah!" I greeted Max´ Sister, after I had entered the club and found her downstairs at the bar, where she was cleaning glasses and stacking them at the moment.

Just like him, she was looking rather good for a wolf. She shared the same sort of humor and patters with him, the same fur colors, and she was a happy nature too, a little like Judy even. It seemed to me like she had seen many things down here before, she was confident, calm, and I knew from the first few sentences that this wouldn´t be a big deal for her.

I reached her my paw and she shook it a little confused, "I´m Nick Wilde, the ZPD-Detective and colleague of your brother he announced" I introduced myself to her.

"Oh hi!" she greeted back, now less skeptical, "I´m sorry, I thought your fur was red for some weird reason…"

That made me grin a little, "My fur is red normally, but my partner re-painted me as a disguise…"

"Oh…I see!" she chuckled, "Looks good though!"

"Thanks!"

"So, how can I help you?"

"It´s very simple" I began explaining, "I´m going to install a little camera, where it´s not to be seen, and it´s just pointing at that big round table over there. Don´t worry, nobody gets the records of that, we just need that for investigation purposes. Under the plate of the table will be a few microphones and that´s it basically. I´m going to search for a table not too close to them and pretend to be a normal customer here…"

"So, I basically do what I do here usually?" she wanted to get sure.

"Yeah, just act normal, don't be extra friendly or something! You helped us very much with that info already!"

"What happens, when you really find out about something illegal here?"

"If we got enough evidence, you´ll probably witness a police hare rushing this basement like a hurricane and shooting all of the suspects unconscious with a tranquilizer gun…or we simply arrest them alternatively" I added with an ironic chuckle.

"What, really? You mean Judy Hopps, the bunny who solved that thing with the night howlers?"

"Ever seen another bunny cop before?" I asked back with a warm smile.

"No, I didn´t" she chuckled, "But I haven't seen another fox before either!" she confessed with a little wink, "But why isn´t she here as well?"

"She´s not a canine. She would gain a lot of attention here…"

"Yeah right…" she chuckled, "That makes a lot of sense!"

"Don´t worry! That´ll be easier than you think, you´ll see!" I waved it off with a little smile, as I went on my way to place the equipment I brought with me. She watched me doing that for a few moments, but then she went back to work.

When I was done with that, I went outside of the club once again and joined Judy in the undercover police car she had parked behind the house. She had a laptop ready and running in front of her, and she had connection to the cameras and microphones as well already.

"Hey hotshot!" she greeted me, as I closed the door behind me, kissing her on the forehead quickly, "Good work with the camera, that´ll do for our purposes…"

"Do I look like one of the normal guests down there?" I asked her, still a little skeptical.

She nodded with great confidence, "You are, but you´re by far more attractive than the other guys…" she teased me with a dirty grin, "be careful not to get overrun by all the vixens down there!"

"Don´t worry, Carrots! I do not even slightly care about them, even if I have to get my shirt off or something!"

"I know that!" she replied happily, "And I trust you totally, why wouldn´t I?"

"Oh, there we go!" I pointed out, as the first customer took a seat at the big table with the ´reserved´ sign on it. It was a jaguar lady, wearing a black business dress, golden ear rings and a fancy looking purse.

"Yeah, she looks serious" Judy agreed, "Time for you to get to work!"

POV Cammy

I went there extra early today. I was a little restless somehow and I wanted to get used to this place a little before the meeting started. I always was a little tense in environments I´ve never been to before. I didn´t know very much about this place. Just, that there were only felines and canines allowed, and that that could get pretty good later, potentially.

When I arrived, I went for the basement and already found the bar besides the big and round table, which the boss had reserved for us. It was nearly completely surrounded by a nice looking wooden bench, the lighting wasn´t too bright but just comfortable, and it was a little isolated from all the other tables, which was just perfect for our purposes. And it wasn´t empty, when I arrived.

I instantly recognized Victoria, who was and presumably stayed the only other female besides me in our partnership. She was a Jaguar, she was really pretty, and she was really badass in her attitude, as I would call it. But I liked her since the first time we met. She was tough on the outside, especially to the guys who tried flirting with her, but she was really kind and nice to me and other girls she was talking to. She always called a spade a spade, was openly talking about woman´s topics with me, and that really had relaxed me a lot and made me feel more comfortable at my first meeting with these guys.

I waved her shortly when she recognized me, then I took a first quick look at my surroundings and the other guests. I was by far not the only vixen here, but there also were wolves, coyotes, lions, cheetahs and all different sorts of cats too, and it really was a wild business already. It was a big basement, had many dark corners and fancy tables, and it was busy already. One of them caught my attention the first time I saw him, although he didn´t even noticed it presumably. He was a fox, he looked very hot, friendly, and the best of it all, he was alone at the moment. He had a pretty similar build to a certain police officer, the same green eyes and pretty similar style of moving about as well. The only difference was, that he had a mixture of black and gray fur, instead of the marvelously beautiful red one Nick had. Nevertheless, I liked what I saw. Already, I was playing with the thought of going over to his table and starting a conversation with him later. When we were done with our business here, of course.

"Cammy!" Victoria greeted me with a happy and welcoming smile, as I arrived at the table, "How are you, sweetheart?" she asked me, when I hugged her back cheerfully.

"I had better times before, but right now its fine!" I answered her with a little smile, "How are you?"

POV Nick

"I´m better now! I finally got over the heat, which drove me absolutely mad this season!" the Jaguar Lady began telling her casually.

I could understand them perfectly well from where I was sitting, because of the microphone under the table and the little speaker I had in my right ear.

"Oh, you lucky girl!" I told her, "That´s a really big problem for me right now…"

"Really? Who is it for you?" she asked with a mischievous grin, „Is he hot?"

"Yes, very! He usually comes to my shop for coffee every day of the week…" the white vixen sighed. It was indeed Cammy, and I didn´t want to believe it at her first initial sight. "What the hell was she doing here?" I asked myself.

"Oh god, that must be horror for you then I guess?"

"Well, I´m sort of alright, because it hit him too this season and he couldn't come to work in the last few days…but it didn´t hit him because of me" she explained with another sigh.

Since Judy was listening to that too, she had the same thoughts on my mind as I.

"Didn´t I tell you about it!?" she chuckled, "But what is she doing here?"

"I have no idea" I replied into the microphone on my watch lowly, "But this could be a big problem, since she basically is a cop indicator now…"

"Can you smell her scent down there?" she wanted to know.

"I do, but just very slightly. I think I just noticed it because I know it is her…but there are too many canine scents here anyways…"

"Just stay calm and try not to stare…"

"Don´t worry, I got this" I calmed her down, before I began listening more closely again.

"…but you´re really beautiful as well!" the Jaguar lady complimented Cammy, "Are you sure it´s not because of you?"

"Pretty sure, yeah…"

"What does he look like? You have any details?"

POV Cammy

I had to think about it for a second now. I couldn´t tell her that he was a police officer, that would probably make me really suspicious, and I couldn´t use too much details -like his bunny colleague- either, so I just went for his looks.

"You see that guy over there? The black fox who is alone, white muscle shirt, green eyes…"

She took a quick look and nodded then, her smile turning a little dirty now.

"He looks pretty much like him, but his fur is red and even more gorgeous…"

"That guy over there indeed looks good!" she grinned, "Why don´t you go and talk to him later? …Better than nothing in any case!"

"I was thinking so too, yeah…"

"Come on, sister!" she grinned with a little push on my shoulders, "Just go for it! Even if he is an idiot, at least he has a penis!"

That made me giggle a little, I loved her direct way of saying things like this. And it really gave me a little more confidence. I took another look over the back part of the round bench that surrounded our big round table, and just by chance, he was looking right at me in that moment. Our gazes met for a second, and then he winked me shortly, before he lifted his glass and calmly drank a few sips of it. But then his gaze wandered into a different direction.

"Holy shit" I whispered lowly, "It´s like he sensed it, like he heard us!" I whispered in excitement. My right arm itched a little, and I scratched it carefully.

"That didn´t look too bad, did it?" Victoria chuckled with a big smile, "You reserved him for you already, didn´t you?"

"Oh, come on!" I chuckled back at her, "Stop it already!"

Her gaze changed a little all over sudden, "There they are" she pointed out, as two wolves and a coyote were coming down the stairs and made their war towards us. Victoria was right, those were the guys we had been waiting for.

"Finally!" I whispered lowly.

"Don´t be too impatient darling! You´re gonna get what you want later!" she chuckled, before we stood up to greet them properly.

POV Nick

"No, you´re not!" I said lowly but with a little chuckle. Judy was still laughing her ass off, which wasn´t really helping my concentration.

"Come on, carrots! I need to stay professional" I told her once again, while more and more people were joining the big round table Cammy was sitting at.

All of them were dressed much fancier than the normal guests here. The guys wore smoking´s and hat´s, the girls wore black, decent business-dresses. It actually suited her very well, I´ve never seen her in something like this before. But it also was a little more special than when I normally met her in her coffee shop. She was scratching herself from time to time, but she really got it together well for now. Since I winked her the first time she looked at me, she took a few closer looks at me every now and then, but she couldn´t do that too often without looking suspicious.

Soon later, a male Jaguar arrived at the table as well and took a seat besides Victoria, who kissed him quickly.

"Alright, Ladies and Gentleman" one of the Wolves lowly began with his very deep and smoky voice, "I´m glad you all made it! I assume we get something to drink first, before we talk about business. The first round is on me, take whatever you fancy!" he opened up the evening.

"I already have a slight Idea what this could be about" I let Judy now through my watch, while Sarah was asking the suspects for their orders.

"That´ll be?" Judy replied after she noticed that I was talking to her.
"I always wondered how she could run that coffee shop here in the city center with those low prices and discounts for the whole ZPD…like financially, that must not be easy, I guess…"

"You mean she is selling something under the table too?"

"Yeah, probably…"

"Good point actually…" she agreed, "Let´s see what this all really is about…"

"Who are you talking too, Mr. Handsome?" I suddenly was interrupted by two very loud and near female voices.

Before I could even reply them anything, the two vixens who shocked the hell out of me took a seat on the comfy bench besides me and came a little closer.

"Holy shit" I acted alongside with the real stress I had right now, "Hey there, Ladies" I greeted them, trying to calm down a little "…Having fun?"

"We came here to have fun!" one of them told me, still giggling and much too loud.

Both of them have obviously been drinking before.

"…but it´s the first time we actually got down here!" the one in gray and white told me.

The first few sentences and they really were going on my nerves already, but I couldn´t just send them away either.

"It´s my first time down here as well" I told them calmly, to slow them down a little bit. I hoped that Judy was listening to the important stuff in the meanwhile.

"Why don´t weee have a drink together and see where this night leads us?" one in red suggested, pushing me with her elbow a little.

"Don´t you think you had enough drinks already?" I asked.

"This is sooo lame! Why do always the sexy boys have to be this boring?"

"Excuse me? I´m not boring! I´m just not here for the same reason as you, probably!"

"Oh, that's sooo cute! …hes still a virgin!" the gray vixen laughed out in excitement.

"No, I´m not" I answered, still totally calm. I got used to the situation in the meanwhile.

"What is the matter then?" she asked.

"Nick, I need to talk to you! Alone, it´s important!" Judy let me know, which distracted me from my new company for a second. I already thought about how I could get rid of them.

"I´m sorry" I asked the red vixen to repeat the question she asked me.

"Do you work out a lot for that body?" she repeated.

"No, I´m a restaurant tester for a big fast food chain" I said ironically, in hope it would piss them off.

"Haha, very funny!" the other one continued arrogantly, "I bet he just has a small dick and is afraid to show it!" she snickered.

"No, can´t complain on that either…" I replied, still totally calm, which really annoyed them already.

"I don't believe you!" the red vixen chuckled then.

"Me neither!" the other one agreed.

"Alright" I said in a somewhat mysterious voice, "You girls mind if I go for little boys for a second, before we continue on that discussion?"

I finished the glass of water which Sarah had brought me earlier and put it back down on the table.

"On one condition!" one of them grinned, „You leave that shirt here, as a guarantee you come back!"

For a second I thought about it, then I agreed with her and pulled the white muscle shirt over my head carefully. The color still stayed on perfectly, luckily.

"Woohoo! If that doesn´t look tasty, I don't know what does!"

I just grinned a little and tossed the shirt onto her head with that, "Take good care of it!" I told her with a little wink. I was already making my way towards the corridor with the bathroom signs on top of the arch, "I´m going to get that back soon!"

And with that, I finally left the giggling vixens out of earshot and was able to talk to her.

"Oh my god, please kill me!" I told her, utterly unnerved from that already. She still giggled about it.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?"

"You were absolutely right with the drugs!" she informed me, "They used the power cut as a distraction, they were the ones who did both of them! They got a truckload of different substances beyond the city borders and deposited it in an old storage hall in Tundratown" she explained quickly, "Some of the colleagues are already going there!"

"Alright, that was effective then…good call from Wolfheart!"

"Yeah, that saved us a lot of time and work, probably!" she agreed.

"So, we´re done here, basically?"

"Sort of, yeah! They´re still discussing about the amounts everybody gets and how much they pay for it, but no matter what, they won´t sleep in their own beds tonight!"

"I cannot arrest them all by myself down here. I don´t have a tranquillizer, I´m not bigger than them, and Cammy gets totally crazy, if I come any closer to her!"

"Don´t worry! Fangmeyer and Wolfheart will be here any minute!"

"Alright, I´ll tell you when I´m ready, then you can sneak in and take them out, if you need to" I explained.

"Alright, sounds good to me!"

"What do I do with those drunken vixens in the meanwhile? Any ideas?"

"Think of something!" she giggled, "…play truth or dare with them, or something like that!" she told, just before I left the corridor again. I wasn´t even inside the man's bathroom, but the timing seemed believable.

"Haha, very funny, carrots! Someday I get my revenge for that!"

"I´m curious!"

"Alright, I´m going undercover again, see you in a minute!"

"Good luck!" she ended our conversation, as I went back into the room again.

This time, Cammy noticed me too as I went back to my table, and she looked at me like she wanted to eat me as a whole. The itching and burning got worse for her too. But she still didn´t knew about it. She had no idea.

I just passed their table calmly, winked Sarah quickly who was preparing drinks at the bar again, and with that I went back to my original table.

The two vixens where still laughing and pushing each other in excitement.

"She…haha…she said you look like that one porn-star she had seen quite recently!" the lady in white and gray laughed out, while the other one tried to shut her up in the same childish manner.

"Looks like I missed some pretty important topics…" I sighed with a little smile, "But I take that as a compliment, I guess."

"Oh, it was a compliment!" she teased her friend, "She´s just too shy to tell you personally!"

I used the little pause that suddenly occurred and took another quick look over to the important table. They were clinking glasses over there, like if they were done with their dealing, and I knew I wouldn´t have a lot of time until they probably split up and leave the nightclub, so I had to get cracking in the next few minutes.

"What is your name, hotshot?" I was asked a moment later, and that was the only thing I hadn´t prepared for this evening.

"Uhm…Piberbius" I told them my actual middle name. Although I really hated it, that was the best option I had this quickly.

"Oh, like Nick Wilde?" she asked me with an excited grin, and I nearly chocked because of that. But I kept my cool.

"Sorry?"

"Nicholas Piberbius Wilde, the first fox to join the ZPD! He´s my biggest hero ever since" she began explaining, „I´m sure you heard of him! I was like sooo in love with him, he´s so cute and he´s looking so good in his blue uniform…"

"Yeah, I heard of him" I interrupted her with a little sigh, not only because of Judy´s giggling.

"But you´re looking good too!"

"Thanks…"

"Nick, the others are here, we´re ready if you are!" Judy let me know in that moment.

"You´re a good-looking motherfucker as well!" the other vixen chuckled, and rattled my shoulders a little with that.

Just when that happened, Cammy took another look at me, and she wasn´t looking happy about it. She wasn´t amused about my female company at all. But she wasn´t about to worry about it for very much longer anyways.

"I´m sorry girls!" I told them, now with a bit more power in my voice, "I have to turn a night club upside down! …Has been nice talking to you, keep that shirt as a reminder or whatever…" I told them with one last little smile, before I made my way towards the bar, where Sarah was washing glasses once again. They sure looked a little dumbfounded, but they weren't following me or shouting after me. Cammy noticed that too, and she was watching every single one of my steps now.

"Judy, did you copy that?" I asked her lowly, as I went.

"On our way, we´ll wait for your sign!"

"Okay then, Showtime!" I told her, before I arrived at the bar.

"Excuse me, Sarah?" I asked her.

"What can I do for you, sir?" she asked me with a wink and a little grin.

"Could you bring me a bucket or something with warm water in it please?

"Yeah, sure! Give me a second!" she told me, without even asking for the reason.

"Thank you very much!"

And with that I made my way towards the big round table. They noticed me pretty soon, and when I came to a halt in front of them, they all stared at me with great interest about my intentions, which was predictable.

I had my leather covered ZPD badge in my left pocked and ready to deploy it.

"Excuse me for a second, gentleman!" I began.

I was excited, I´ve been looking forward to that. I wondered how she would react since I´ve seen her here, and now my moment finally has come.

"Mind if I interrupt you for a second?"

Sorry for the badly placed cliffhanger again :P

Watcha think?
