Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances

Chapter 12 – Sorry not sorry

POV Cammy

I was happy with how that went. It was an investment of about eight thousand dollars for me, but that would triple over the next half year anyways. The meeting was done already, officially, but we all stayed here until we finished our drinks at least. Now, I didn´t want to hear anything about all this stuff anymore. The only thing I was interested in now, was that black fox I already saw when I entered the club. I was taking a look at him from time to time, and it seemed like he was a little interested in me also.

He actually just made his way towards the bar and talked to the waitress, who has been serving us. That was the right direction already. Since he took his shirt off, I couldn´t really think straight anymore. The itching on my fur got a little worse again, and now I really was fairly confident, that he could help me with that problem as well by now. Whatever happened when the others were gone, my plan was to get in touch with him later, hopefully more.

After he was done with talking to Sarah, as she introduced herself to us at the beginning, he turned his attention right onto me suddenly, onto me and just me. It really looked like he wanted to talk to me, and that already flattered me of course. He even came closer to our table for that matter.

"Told you" Victoria whispered with a chummy grin.

I tried my best to ignore her and don't mess it up.

"Now or never!" she continued teasing me. That wasn´t helpful. My fur burned and it stressed me to the core. Keeping my calm nearly was impossible.

"Excuse me for a second gentleman!" the black and gray fox began, with nearly the same, unbelievably sexy and calm voice that Nick had. I already was imagining him to be his twin brother or something.

"Mind if I interrupt you for a second?" he asked politely, smiling at all of us quickly.

"I´m sure you´re not low on company over there, buddy?" Chester, the boss of this whole deal, the wolf with the black fedora-hat told him calm-but explicitly.

He wasn´t impressed by that at all.

"Don´t be so harsh on him" I told him, "What is the matter?"

"Yeah, what is the matter, Chester?" our guest asked him with a slight grin. That made me giggle a little, also I didn´t want to.

"Where the fuck you my name from?" he wanted to know, now more intriguing.

"From Sarah" he explained calmly, as she just in time handed him a metal bucket for some reason, "I simply asked her…"

His calm style, his supreme smirk over the wolf and his voice made me suffer from it even more. The itching nearly drove me insane, and he noticed that, as it seemed. Without that perfume, I think I would have gone mad a lot sooner.

"But I´m not here because of Cammy either, as you probably imagined. At least not only because of her…"

He even knew my name, and that did nothing but flatter me even more at the moment. I wanted him so bad, I even thought about climbing over the back wall of the bench and rushing towards him. I wanted to push him into another corner of that nightclub and shred him apart. But I pulled myself together, he had our attention with that now.

POV Nick

I´ve anticipated this moment since I saw her here, and now she was about to receive the payment. My presence nearly drove her insane, and now it probably was because of my scent again. But she didn´t know about it, and that would be bad for her from every possible perspective. She looked a little disappointed already, when I told them that I was not here because of her, but what followed was much better.

"What are you then here for?" Chester asked me, ignoring the stupid smiles from his mates.

"As you surely noticed..." I began again, while pointing at the white vixen in their middle shortly, "does she suffer quite badly from the mating season this year…"

That shocked her a little more now, but the others just nodded slowly.

"…that's because she has a crush on that one guy, …And that guy…" I made a small pause as I noticed Judy, Wolfheart and Fangmeyer sneaking in and splitting up behind the table slowly. Since I had all the attention, they didn´t notice it anyways, so I continued, fully concentrated, "…that guy looks quite similar to me, in fact. He has the same green eyes, the same build, and as she probably just noticed, the same voice as well! …Only difference is, that he has red fur, instead of the black and gray one I have…"

Cammy caught herself nodding at that a little. I tried my best to hide a little grin at that.

"Why are you telling us this? Do we look like we care about…"

I presented them the bucket of water I was still holding in my hands, before I continued.

Sarah was still standing in earshot and watching, and even the two other vixens came a little closer to witness what was going on. I lifted the bucket over my head and turned it over quickly. The warm water hit my head with great impact and washed nearly all the black color out of my fur with one giant flush. I anticipated that to make a giant mess on the floor, but I didn´t care about that too much at the moment. In a matter of seconds, I was transformed into a red fox once again, and seeing their reactions was just priceless.

My friend Nastia made some awesome artwork of this scene, head on over to Tumblr ( : / / artvopros . tumblr . c0m / ) and take a look if you want. Show her some love if you liked it. Thank you ;)

"What the hell!" one of the shouted out, as he pulled his feet away from the flood of water. Cammy covered her mouth with her paws because of that shock, and Judy, who was standing sort of behind her, just grinned widely.

"The reason why I had this big of an effect on her this evening is, that I am in fact, that guy!"

"My god!" she whispered in disbelief, but she actually wasn´t too sad about it at the moment. She even looked happy because she suddenly believed that I was here because of her again, and that probably was everything that was on her mind right now. But I popped that bubble soon afterwards.

"But I´m not only that guy…" I told the absolutely stunned mammals on the table, while pulling my ZPD- badge out of my pocket and flipping it open, "…I´m also a police detective, and you guys are in mayor trouble now!"

"Fuck!" the coyote at the edge of the bench yelled out, as he tried getting up from the table in order to run away and escape, but the ground was slippery because of the water I just had spilled, so he wasn´t coming far before I had my finger-gun pointed at him. Judy knew what I did of course, and she had her tranquilizer gun pointed at him too, ready to knock him out anytime I liked her to.

"Is that a joke?" Chester asked me in disbelief. The others still sat there not knowing how to react, "How do you think you get out of here alive? You´re just a little fox and you don't even have a gun!" he tried to warn me.

With that, I pulled my finger-trigger on the coyote, Judy´s dart hit him, and a second later he collapsed with his head on the table a second later. That shocked not only Cammy and the others, the Wolf with the black mafia-hat was scared of me as well now, all over sudden.

"Does that count as a gun for you?" I asked with a smug grin, pointing it at him now.

"Run!" he yelled at his mates in panic, but remained still for some reason. One of them actually really tried it. This time the Jaguar who has been sitting on the other side of the table, but before he even got up, Fangmeyer´s tranquilizer-dart hit him and he collapsed onto the wooden plate as well. I didn´t even had the time to point my finger gun at him.

"Oh, looky here! My paws are magic, as it seems!" I chuckled, „Wonder where that comes from…"

All of them where still looking at me in fear that they could get knocked out too, and Judy still ironically shook her head at me and my show.

I still was soaking wet of course, and I was the middle point of the whole club in the meanwhile. Everybody was staring and listening.

"I´m sorry, Cammy!" I told her with a smug but unforgiving grin, "I always loved your coffee, and I always liked you as a person, but that was not a good idea…"
She just stared at me with a mixture of pure hate and disbelief, but I wasn´t done with her yet.

"And no, I´m not going to help you with that other problem either, although I know how painful that is!" I said, while pointing at Judy, who had surrounded the table in the meanwhile, showing off her tranquilizer gun with a confident smile, "…Because of her!" Judy nodded a little, Cammy must really be hating on her right now, as it looked like. "…Sorry not sorry!"

"The Fuck, Cammy?" Chester asked her with a very confused gaze, "When you´re in heat because of him, you should have smelled him miles against the wind!" he wondered loudly and utterly disappointed. She didn´t care about that too much though, she was busy with her itching fur.

"Good idea with the repaint!" I told Judy proudly and clearly hearable for them. The gray Wolf now let his heads drop onto the table as well, when he heard the clicking of the handcuffs behind him, and the others weren´t looking too amused about it either.

I removed the flooded and broken little speaker from inside my ear in the meanwhile and put it into my pockets alongside with my ZPD-badge. Still, everybody was looking at me, quite in speechlessness.

"I´d call that a day if you ask me!"

"That was freaking epic!" Max let me now with a proud grin, as he put handcuffs onto the jaguar lady´s arms and locked them up, "You sure know how to crash a party!"

I gave him a little smile, before I turned my attention towards Sarah once again. I let the others do the important stuff from now on.

"I´m very sorry for the mess I made! I´m going to stand up for this of course!" I told her, looking for a mob or something.

"Nah" she waved it off, "Don´t worry, it´s fine! That move was worth it!" she chuckled.

"Thank you very much for telling your brother about it!" I told her once again, and Judy instantly agreed with me when she joined us soon afterwards.

"Yeah, that clue was just what we needed!" she added with a thankful smile.

"Speaking of my brother" the wolf lady giggled, as she waved Max shortly who was just about to put another set of handcuffs onto another suspect´s wrists. It was Cammy this time, and we all wanted to see that particularly, of course. It shouldn´t be a big deal for him, but she was sort of the middle point of the whole gang for us. She made this mission special.

She looked really aggressive and overhyped all over sudden, her eyelids twitched slightly and she released little roars and yelps of pain and displeasure from time to time. It really was frightening, and in that very moment I really wondered, if I had looked equally bad yesterday, as she did right now. I actually felt a little sorry for her, even if she had been planning something very illegal here. I wasn´t really hating on her because of it, but I couldn´t just make an exception for her of course, no matter how much we liked her coffee. But I wasn´t convinced if she earned those painful desires holding on for a few weeks either. I didn´t want anybody to suffer from that, since I knew what it felt like. That actually spoiled the moment for me a little. Even Judy felt a little sorry about that.

Wolfheart already had his handcuffs prepared and was about to get them in position on her wrists, but he wasn't even coming that far. He didn´t expect her to go this violent.

POV Max Wolfheart

When I was about to cuff Cammy, the white vixen we usually got our coffee from, I actually missed her wrists with the handcuffs because she pulled them away in just the right moment. She even managed to free herself from where she was sitting, and then she turned around and hit me in the face with her claws vigorously. That made me release her for a second, and she used that opportunity to climb onto the table and get some distance. She was completely mad right now, her whole body was shaking like crazy, she was scratching her ears and arms in great pain and displeasure and she obviously had just one goal. It was Nick of course.

Judy wasn´t lying, she really had a crush on him. Her senses where completely blurred as it seemed, because without further hesitation she ran into his direction on the table and lunged at him when she reached the edge of it. Nobody was able to react or stop her in any way, it all went too quickly. Because I was still on the other side of the bench, I couldn´t reach out for at all. I knew from own experience how painful and frustrating that was, and I could even understand her behavior on a certain level, but I couldn´t do anything about it right now.

There was one thing she wasn´t considering however, and that was Judy, who was still holding her loaded tranquilizer in her hands, accompanied by her lightning fast reactions. In the moment Cammy jumped off the table, Judy´s tranquilizer dart hit her neck and knocked her out completely. Everybody stared in shock at the scene, but Nick contained his calm once more and did just the right thing, which was even more fascinating to look at. He knew he couldn´t dodge her attack anymore because of the slippery floor he was standing on, and she was in mid-air already. So, last second, he prepared himself for the impact and caught her unconscious body with his arms, instead of letting her just hit the floor. Although he slid half a foot backwards because the recoil of her weight, he remained stable and unharmed in the end. He just panted a little, as he stood there with the white furred vixen in his arms and didn´t know what to do with her.

"Good catch!" Judy remarked, still reasonably calm about all this.

"This is getting out of hand…" Nick sighed, before he carried the unconscious but now peacefully sleeping Cammy back towards the bank she had been sitting on. He laid her down besides the Wolf Daniel had just cuffed and secured.

"At least she´s quiet for now!" Nick chuckled ironically, not looking too happy about her suffering though. He obviously had it as well quite recently, because he knew very well what she was going through right now. I noticed that from own experiences also.

Chief Bogo had entered the club and seemed to have witnessed that with Cammy as well, I just noticed. His footsteps usually where to be heard from quite a distance already, and we all were used to that. It was predictable he would show up here as well.

"I´m sorry, Wolfheart!" Nick told me suddenly, "But I think you can handle that little scratch anyways…"

I waved it off and nodded without making a drama about it. It hurt a little, but that was not important.

"Can I get one of those darts too, please?" the now totally frustrated Wolf with the black fedora asked with a deep sigh. He had witnessed the whole spectacle of course, but he didn´t really care about it anymore. He had pretty much accepted his fate by now.

"So, we have to carry your ass up those stairs too?" Nick asked him, certainly not in the best of moods anymore either.

Chief Bogo had arrived us in the meanwhile and inspected the situation quickly.

"Are all of them here?" he asked then, referring to the suspects.

"They are" Nick told him dryly, while making his way back to Judy once again.

"Alright! Wolfheart, Fangmeyer, get to work!" he commanded, pointing at the drug dealers.

We did as we were told and started with the guys who were still conscious.

The other guests of the establishment still stood around us and dumbfoundedly stared at what they just witnessed.

For me, it was a pretty unusual nightshift also, but not necessarily a bad one because of that. At least something happened finally, and we really got anywhere. It was always exciting, working on cases with Nick and Judy.

POV Rachel Fitch

My god, this was so hot. My original plan for tonight was to just get down here, forget about work for once and have a good time with my best friend and probably some handsome male company, but this was way better. I had the headline before my eyes already: "Heroic ZPD-Detective solves Power-Cut case!"

Sadly, I hadn´t been quick enough to record all of it with my smartphone camera, and the light was much too dim also, but it certainly was enough to recreate the scenario in a text.

Since that sexy fox told us that he was about to turn a club upside down, Becky and I decided to follow him and check out what he meant by that. He was charismatic and good looking in black and gray already, but the natural red suited him even better of course. Considering what we said to him earlier, and that we were talking about a certain police officer, I felt really stupid now. But how could we have known it was him? He was so calm and professional all the time.

But what I could understand was, why that white vixen on the gangster´s table was in heat because of him. And I was a little proud that she wasn´t in his league at all. He showed no interest in her whatsoever. He really was good at keeping his cool, considering what we got on his nerves with earlier.

The other police officers had already started escorting the suspects out of the club, and Judy Hopps, the face of the ZPD and hero of Zootopia, was working on this case as well. I knew that officer Wilde was working with her on the nighthowlers-disaster already, but I didn´t expect her to show up in an establishment like this either. I already wanted to switch into my professional reporter-mode again, but then I relized that I should probably apologize for unknowingly hindering his undercover work, first of all.

He was helping the barkeeper girl at the moment, who had served us the drinks earlier this evening. Like a gentleman, he supported her with cleaning up the mess he made on the floor, and he actually volunteered to help her with that. Where only could I find a man like him?

His police partner stood beside him and stared at the handsome red fox with an amused grin, just like a few other´s. Among the little group of police officers were a wolf, a lion and a buffalo, who joined them a little later. When they were finally done with escorting the suspects out of the night club, they all met up at the bar once again. I was still trying to figure out how to start a new conversation with him. But I would find a possibility, in always did.

POV Judy

"Thank you very much once more, Miss Wolfheart!" Chief Bogo told her, when we all met up down here for one last time, "You saved us a lot of time and work with your information!"

"Oh, I´m glad it was helpful! And it was interesting also…" she chuckled happily.

"I´m sorry about the action and the mess our detective made here! Apart from his task, which he did very well, that was not very professional!" he apologized to her and told him passively, but Nick didn´t feel bad for it at all. He didn´t even try to hide the little grin that crept on his face.

"It was not professional, but it was really cool therefore!" Max chuckled at the chief, and he certainly was not alone with that statement.

"First day I´m back at work and the job is done!" Nick grinned at him.

The Chief just sighed a little at his insolence, but then he nodded slightly. He couldn´t deny that he was right.

"What do we do with that vixen now?" Max asked casually, "That will probably take a while until she´s ready to be interrogated…"

"What, why? What´s wrong with her?" Bogo asked in slight confusion. He hasn´t even heard of it yet.

"The white vixen..." I began explaining for him.

"Cammy?" he asked, „The one from the coffee shop?"

„Yeah, Cammy…she´s having the same problem he had recently!" I said, pointing at the half naked and still wet Nick, before I added the most important bit, "…because of him!"

The conversation was interrupted by a little pause filled with awkward silence.

"Why didn´t you think of that earlier?" the chief asked a little louder suddenly, and noticeably annoyed about it.

"We didn´t know she would be here…" Nick sighed, "I just noticed her when this all started down here…"

"And you think taking off your shirt will help about it?" the chief fired at him, actually more infuriated than he should be.

"You think it would have changed anything if I didn´t?" Nick asked back harshly, "I didn´t do that because of her either! I wanted it to look realistic and I didn´t want to get my ´company´ mad at me! You know what this place is, Chief? You see what they do in that corner over there, for example?"

His mood right got a little tense right now, and I haven´t witnessed that from him very often since I know him. But it made him even cuter for me, I loved when he was out of his cool sometimes. But I really felt a little bad for him in that moment, because he really had an eventful evening already and the chief was still complaining about him. I found that a little unnecessary right now. For now, I wanted to be alone with him as soon as possible. I wanted to hug and cuddle with him and calm him down from all that. But I had to stay professional for a little longer. So I decided to cut it here.

"Chief, we can´t change it now anyways" I told him plainly, "We´ll sort things out with her later…"

The chief surely was mean sometimes, but he couldn´t really do anything against my words anymore. He respected me more than most of the other colleagues, and that probably was due to the public image I still enjoyed. But right now, he also realized that I was just right with what I said.

"Alright" he sighed, now calmer, "You´re right, I probably shouldn´t criticize an operation I haven´t been on myself!" he confessed.

"Mind if we finish this tomorrow?" Nick asked with a little yawn.

The chief thought about it shortly, then he nodded, "Get some rest, finish this tomorrow! That´s probably not a bad idea anyways! … the same goes for you two!" he added, while pointing at Max and Daniel, "Get the suspects to the City Center and get some sleep! You two can take a day off tomorrow!"

"Thanks Chief, good call!" Daniel supported that idea with a little grin. They all noticeably were tired because of the last few days, and the chief was no exception.

"Why do you get a free day?" Sarah teasingly asked her brother, "You didn´t even do anything!" she added ironically.

"I had three very long shifts in a row, my beloved sister!" he replied, ignoring our stupid grins, "…and you better get on with cleaning glasses!"

"How often do you get your shirt off at work?" she asked back.

"Don't know, how often do you?"

The chief obviously wasn´t in the mood for that kind of bullshit right now, so he left us alone already and went up the stairs. Nick and I chuckled at that and stayed for another second.

"Come on, Maxie!" his sister chuckled in amusement, "I bet you don´t look too bad either…"

"Didn´t I tell you I´d get my revenge for that?" Nick asked Max with a smug grin, referring to his sister´s comments obviously.

"You did, I guess" he sighed, as Sarah pushed him a little, "Maybe I´ve earned that…"

"Probably…" I grinned at him, the others chuckled a little.

"Have a good night, guys!" Nick waved them.

I slowly made my way out of the club already and my fox followed me without the need to be asked twice.

"Good night you two!" they wished us, before we went up the stairs.

"Goddammit" Nick sighed, in relief that it was over finally, "Thanks for saving me from the chief, carrots!"

"Don´t worry about it" I giggled back happily, "I like it even more when your shirt is off anyways!"

"Speaking of that…" he stated, "It´s cold out here!"

I was just fine on that matter, but since he was still wet and half naked, the fresh night air probably had another effect for him than on me.

We weren't alone outside here either. The other police cars were parked right in front of the entrance and a few people stood around the scene and starred at us, when they noticed our appearance. Nick didn´t care too much about it though, he had nothing to hide.

"Our car is still behind the house…" I pointed, just as I got interrupted from behind suddenly.

POV Rachel Fitch

"Officer Wilde!" I yelled after him, to get his attention once again. Becky and I had even followed them out of the club for that matter.

He noticed it of course, but he wasn´t too happy about it right now, probably because a few other people were staring at them already or he just wanted to go home, but I wanted him to know it at all costs.

"Yeah?" he sighed, "What is it?"

"I…I mean…we just wanted to apologize for distracting you earlier and…" I began, as he and officer Hopps turned their attention towards us completely.

"It´s fine, don't worry" he waved it off, now not able to hide an amused little grin anymore, "You´re not the only ones who fell for that disguise…"

As he said that, I noticed that parts of his body still had some of the black color on them, his tail and his paws for example, but he still looked better than any other fox I had ever seen before. Becky was still holding his muscle shirt in her hands and also stared at him in pure awe and amorousness.

Due to my job, I still had a lot of self-confidence left, so I found my words again pretty quickly. But since I haven´t had a lot to say, and he didn´t look like he really wanted to talk to us for very much longer, I straightly went to the point.

"I´m actually a reporter for the Zootopian-New´s magazine! I just came to ask if I´m allowed to write a little article about it…I mean that you found the reason for the big power-cuts lately…"

He thought about it for a while and he surely was hesitating a little. The bunny cop besides him grinned slightly, probably because of how desperately we were staring at him, but she nodded about his asking look for her opinion.

"Alright, you can write about that if you want. But! You don´t write a single word about the white vixen! That is not fair and it´s also really out of place!" he warned, "You got that?"

"Thank you very much!" I told him, nodding understandingly.

His gaze relaxed a little again, "Thank you too, for making it look realistic" he told us with a little wink, before he turned around again and went on his way with the bunny on his side. That was all we got from him.

"Come on, Piberbius!" officer Hopps chuckled while pushing him a little, "This night isn´t over yet, is it?"

That's it for now, hope you liked it! I´d be glad to hear your honest opinions!

More is coming, don't worry, I´m just on vacation, I don't have good internet and I got a lot of company, so I can´t really work on new stuff at the moment.

But I have a lot of ideas and I´m motivated to continue. There is a lot of potential to spice things up in this story, isn´t there? Are you interested in that? Let me know!

Always feel free to contact me in the PM´s as well, I won't bite and I love talking to you guys!

Anyways, hope you have a great time! Love you!
