Big thanks to MrShurukan for his help.

Hope you enjoy!

Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances

Chapter 35 – Exciting guests and spicy stories (POV Rachel Fitch)

I couldn´t believe that that really just happened. None of it. My neck was still hurting five minutes after he had lifted me into the air and pinned me against the wall in order to make me talk. He lifted me up with one arm like I had the weight of a feather. I never was this scared and amazed at the same time before in my life. The security guys chased after them and got out of my sight before I even got all of my senses working correctly again. It even took me a little while until I got back up on my feet again.

„Did I really just see him naked right before me?" I asked myself, „Did Delilah really try to suck him off right in front of his girlfriend?"

That question answered itself pretty quickly as it turned out, because I had all of the video footage from the camera saved on my notebook right here besides me, and that in an amazingly detailed and sharp quality. I was watching all of that live right when it happened, and they probably didn´t even know about it. I also had their police badges, their wallets, their phones and his clothing lying right here besides me. I just realized how much I could fuck them up with that, and a slightly evil grin wandered onto my face immediately. "Revenge, oh sweet revenge, Mr SMA" I thought to myself, "This will be so good!"

A few minutes later, some of the security guys returned into this hallway and cursed a little.

„You fucking idiots! How could you lose them here?" one of the wolves blamed his colleagues, „They didn´t even have any armour, he is freaking nude out there in the snow storm!"

„I don´t fucking know!" the other wolf yelled back, „I bet Delilah that little slut messed that up! I don´t even know why she still gets jobs like that, she keeps on fucking stuff up all the time!"

I kept my mouth shut on that matter right now, I didn´t want to get her into even more trouble than she had already. The security guards stopped shortly when they reached me.

„Did you get what the boss ordered?" they asked, referring to the video obviously.

I nodded slightly, "I have something even better" I told him, pointing at the security cameras of the hallway, "That is going to explode like a bomb in the news!"

They nodded quickly.

„What´s up with those polar bears?" somebody else asked, „Those guys are freaking useless! They can´t even take out a little fox and a bunny anymore…" the other wolf complained while taking a quick look into the room.

„We need a medic" I informed them, „One of them got injured very badly…the others got tranquilized…"

The leader of the security nodded in agreement slightly. „Go and talk to the boss as soon as possible" he advised me shortly, „We´ll take care of this shit in the meanwhile…"

POV Judy

We had been running down the street for nearly five minutes after we got out of that building. Nick was not a polar fox and used to cold weather obviously, and he surely suffered a lot because of his nudeness. His whole body was shaking and he was wincing in pain besides his unsteady breathing.

"W-we need to get out o-of the cold" he told me lowly, as the first multistory houses came in sight alongside the road, "I can´t take it for very much longer!"

I was believing him that. Even I was suffering now, my uniform was cold from the snow and my feet were freezing as well. I took a quick look behind me, but the road was still clear behind us.

"We have to hide anyways!" I suggested, "I´ll ring at a house and ask a citizen for help!"

A few seconds later, we arrived the entrance of a four-story building. Since we couldn't just leave the dart guns somewhere on the ground, we still had them with us, and I asked Nick if he could hold mine as well for a second.

I rang the first bell I saw and hoped that somebody would answer.

"Hello?" a friendly female voice answered after a few seconds. So far so good.

"Hello! This is police officer Judy Hopps. We need your help, please!" I told her plainly.

"What did we do… why…?" she wondered fearfully.

"We´re not here as police officers, we are here as normal people, and we need your help please! This has nothing to do with you, we need to hide for a little while…"

I took another quick look at the freezing, shaking Nick who was dancing around with his feet because of the cold.

"…we got abducted by a criminal clan and we got threatened with our lives, but we managed to escape. There is a snowstorm going on outside, we really need your help please" I added beggingly, "We are freezing to death out here!"

"Alright, that's no problem, I´m sorry…" her voice reappeared, "Come in, second level!" she told us, before we heard the noise of the door lock opening.

"Thank you so much!" I told her, before I opened the door and Nick followed me as quickly as possible.

"I´ll talk to them for a second, maybe I can get you a towel or something" I told him quickly, because he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with being naked in an unfamiliar staircase of a multistory building. He just nodded shortly and I made my way up the stairs as quickly as possible. When I arrived at the door she told me, she had opened it just a little bit, but when she recognized that it really was me, she opened up and greeted me in a friendly way. I couldn´t stop a tiny little grin from wandering onto my face. She was a vixen, and I was quite sure that I must have seen her at the ZPD party as well yesterday. What a coincidence that was, but I didn´t complain about it at all.

"Thank you so much!" I told her happily, still shaking a little for myself because of the cold outside, "We really didn´t know what to do anymore…"

"We?" she asked with a little smirk of anticipation.

My smile widened a tiny little bit. "Could you lend us a towel or something?" I whispered, "He´s still downstairs and…well…only covered by his wet and freezing fur…"

"What? Really?" she asked in shock, covering her mouth with her paws.

I nodded a little.

"I…I…" she stuttered, "I´ll find something, just a second!"

With that she went inside her flat quickly and came back just a few seconds later. She had a clean white towel in her arms and handed it over to me quickly.

"They are searching for you by the way" she told me lowly, but with great excitement, "It was in the news! A lorry crashed into your car and they couldn´t find you after that…"

"I will tell you everything about it in just a second" I calmed her down with a little smile, "I´ll just get Nick up here before he freezes to death…" I excused myself.

"Alright!" she agreed, "The door is open!"

POV Ivonne

This had to be a dream. I was just talking to her like she was a good friend of mine, and she told me that Nick was here too. I couldn´t help myself but grin stupidly. My whole body was shaking in anticipation.

"Who is it?" my roommate Sarah asked me, coming from the kitchen as officer Hopps quickly made her way down the stairs again.

"I can´t believe it" I stuttered, "Officer Hopps and Wilde are here! They need our help…because of the snow-storm…"

"What, really?" she asked with great excitement as well now. I just pointed at the staircase where they were coming up the stairs to our flat once again.

"Oh my god!" she whispered at what we saw.

She has not been lying. Nick was totally nude, apart from the towel he had wrapped around himself temporarily, and he really looked beat and tired. His whole body was shaking because of the cold, his fur was messed up and standing into every direction, but nevertheless it was nearly impossible to look away.

"Hi" Judy greeted Sarah with a little smile, while I was holding the door open for them. She carried two guns with her now and hurried to get in as quickly as possible. Nick also greeted us with a thankful little smile. I closed the door behind them quickly and nearly stepped on his tail because I was so nervous.

They were just standing here. In our flat. And to top all of that he was not wearing anything apart from a towel around his waist. I was surprised that I was still conscious right now.

"I-Is there a bathroom I can use f-for a minute please?" Officer Wilde asked lowly and stuttering, his body was shaking like crazy because of the cold, "A warm shower would be so nice right now…"
"Oh…I´m sorry" Sarah whispered ashamed, "I think our roommate Rico is still in there…"

He waved it off already, but he wasn´t coming far with that.

"Rico?!" Sarah asked through the bathroom door loudly.

"Yeah?" his all-time friendly voice asked through the door, "What is it?"

"You done soon? It´s urgent!"

"No, no" Nick tried stopping her smoothly, "There is no need to hurry…"
"I´m finished anyways…" Rico just told us, before he carefully opened the bathroom door and stepped out.

He was quite surprised about our guests as well, and even more about the state they were in.

"Oh, hello" he greeted them just as shyly as we had before, "Can I help you somehow?" he wondered.

"Hey buddy" Nick greeted him back shortly but in a friendly way, "Mind if I take a quick shower? It´s freaking cold out there…"

"N-no…not at all" Rico excused, making way for him quickly, "Help yourself! Oh, and you have to wait for a little while until the water gets warm..." he added quickly.

"Alright, thank you very much!" the other male fox told him with a little nod.

Judy just smiled a little as Nick made his way through the bathroom-door quickly. He didn´t even close it completely, he just was bothered to get under the warm water quickly. It wouldn´t have been that complicated, but I was just too shy to peek through the open bathroom door in her presence.

"What an honor…" Rico told Judy excitedly, as she also shook his paw shortly, "What brings you here?"

"I´m not quite sure actually" she told us with a shrug of her shoulders, "We just woke up after that car crash and…"

"Yeah, right!" Rico interrupted her carefully, "I heard that in the news just an hour ago! There was an accident with a truck and your police car! They were searching for you two already!"

"Oh, yeah…we should probably tell them that we´re alive…" she wondered, before she took a quick look at the bathroom door. Nick already had the water running. I now just realized that she was shaking a little too, although she still wore her blue police uniform.

"You look like you´re freezing too" I carefully told her with a little smile, "Are you alright?"

"It´s getting better already" she waved it off, "I think I´m fine compared to Nick…"

"I was just about to set a cup of tea" Sarah told us, "Do you want some as well?"

"Oh yes, please" she agreed happily, "That would be so kind of you!"

"I think the living room is the best heated room here" Rico pointed out, because we were still standing around in our cold little hallway. Then he began leading the way and we all ended up following him there, apart from Sarah who was heading into the kitchen quickly.

I was offering a chair to our guest and she gladly took it after laying down the two dart guns she was carrying with her. I almost was a little scared because of having something like this in my flat, but with the presence of a police officer it just felt alright. She was a professional and she obviously knew what she was doing.

POV Judy

I felt quite comfortable right now, considering the circumstances. It surely wasn´t the jackpot for Nick when I told them that we rang at a shared apartment of three foxes, but they all were friendly and helpful, and that was by far more important. And since there was a male fox in this household as well, we could probably even ask for some spare clothing he could borrow until we could get home finally. And I liked all of them immediately, they were helpful, friendly and in a good mood.

Rico´s fur pretty much had the same color as Nick when I had painted him in black and gray for the last undercover mission, but it was a little thicker than Nicks. He nearly matched the same body size as him as well, although he didn´t have the same workout, but nevertheless, he wasn´t a bad looking fox either. His roommates were quite nice to me as well, although I believed that there was a slightly different reason for that. Sarah´s fur was white and pretty thick as well, Ivonne on the other hand didn´t look like she was made for those temperatures, her brown and red fur was equally thin as Nicks I believed.

He still had the hot water running soundly, but I couldn´t blame him, it surely hadn´t been easy for him out there. I was in good company, and I was sure that Nick would be fine with that as well. He was cool with nearly everybody, and they would be no exception.

"Are those guns police equipment?" Rico lowly picked up a topic after a few moments of silence.

I shook my head a little, "No, we got those from our abductors…" I explained shortly, "…and those types of guns are not even legal" I added.

"Who are these guys?" he wanted to know with great interest.

"I´m pretty sure they belong to the same group we captured two weeks ago already…they had the same security…and they now surely had a reason to be mad at us…"

"How did you get out of there?" Ivonne asked lowly, but loud enough so he could hear it.
"We punched the shit out of them" Nick commented her question dryly, as he just joined us in the living room, again with the white towel around his waist.

I didn´t have much more to add to that for the moment so I just pointed at the half naked fox with a little smile.

"…oh, hey! Are you better now?" Rico wondered, because his roommate just kept on staring at him.

"Yeah…I´m slowly defrosting now, thanks for asking" Nick affirmed, now calmer.

Just now the other vixen came back from the kitchen and brought a tablet with a few cups and a pot of tea with her.

"Where is your uniform, Officer Wilde?" Rico wanted to know, still being quite interested in that topic.

"If I only knew that…if that was my only problem right now…I´m missing my phone, my badge, my wallet and my freaking gun as well" he sighed, "…oh, and the name is Nick by the way" he told them, shaking their paws one by one, "Thanks a lot for your help, we will remember that of course!"

"That´s no problem, I-I´m happy we could help…I´m Ivonne…" she told him shyly.

He replied her a little smile before greeting the other vixen.

"I´m Sarah…"

"Rico" the other male fox introduced himself as the last one to shake his paws.

"Nice to meet you guys."

"I´m sorry for my manners" I said while standing up for myself, "You can call me Judy of course" I let them now, shaking their paws shortly as well, "Nice to meet you!"

"Tea should be ready in a couple of minutes…" Sarah told us lowly, still a little fixated on Nick, who was stretching himself a little right now.

"We should maybe talk to the Chief in the meanwhile" he then suggested right away. I agreed by nodding.

"Is there a phone we can borrow for a moment?"

"You can use the one on the shelf over there" Rico pointed out for him, because Nick looked like he wanted to get that done as soon as possible. He turned around and spotted it right away.

"Oh yeah…thanks!" he told him, before he moved there and picked it up right away. Then he went into the hallway and dialed the number.

"Ouch" the gray fox now commented lowly, "What happened to his back?" he asked, after he saw the huge cut on Nicks back.

"How can you not know that?" his roommates wondered with a little chuckle.

I couldn´t hide a little grin for myself right now.

"Should I know?" he wondered, shrugging his shoulders lightheartedly.

"He´s the SMA of this year!" Sarah told him dogmatically.

"The what?"

I just waved it off with a big smile, because he was looking a little puzzled at me right now, and even a little ashamed that I might get mad at him for not knowing that.

"This is a girl´s topic" I told him quickly, grinning even wider, "He didn´t even know that for himself before they nominated him…and he isn´t too bothered about it either…he pretty much hates being reminded about that in the meanwhile…" I chuckled.

"…Listen, Chief!" we suddenly heard Nick talking from the hallway, "We just got abducted by them and we barely survived that! I was just running two miles through a snow-storm and I was completely freaking naked! I don't have my uniform, my phone or my wallet! I´m sorry, we simply were not able to call any sooner!"

We all just kept on listening now, and Nick actually noticed that, but he wasn´t really bothered.

"…yeah, Chief! We found help, somebody let us in luckily…"

…

"Where that was? I have no idea… somewhere up the street from where we are right now. Judy and I were unconscious because of the chloroform they used on us. When we woke up, I was tied to the ceiling of an empty room, and I sort of got violated right in front of Judy´s eyes by some weird wolf lady with a knife in her paws! And we probably even got filmed during that, it was a freaking nightmare!"

…

"…yeah, we managed to free ourselves and run away from their security, and now we´re here, that's all I can tell you…"

Our hosts covered their mouths in shock of hearing that, but Nick wasn´t bothered about the words he was using. I guessed he even wanted them to listen so we didn´t have to tell the story once again when they asked about it.

He was quite pissed about all that, and he wasn´t afraid to show that to the Chief with his words.

"Doesn´t sound like you guys had a good day so far" Rico commented very carefully, just to get rid of that weird silence.

I nodded weakly.

"I can take a quick look and search for some spare clothing I could lend him for now" he suggested, "If that is any help to you…"

I immediately nodded thankfully, "Yeah, I think he really would appreciate that" I told him with a warm little smile, "That would be very nice of you!"

"Alright, I´ll see what I can do" he announced then, as he lifted himself up from the couch with that.

"Thank you so much! You guys are great!" I let them know.

Rico got on his way and passed Nick in the hallway carefully, before he disappeared into another room.

"Quite a nice guy as well" I asked the other two ladies with a little wink.

"Yeah" Ivonne chuckled, "He´s a nice guy…"

"But?" I wanted to know with a mischievous smirk, because they both had shrugged their shoulders a little.

"But he´s quite shy usually…a bit too nice…"

"Why don´t you do something about it?" I asked with a chummy smile, "He´s quite a handsome guy, isn´t he?"

Both of them shrugged their shoulders again, and it looked a little like they weren´t expecting me to talk this open about it.

"You think?" Ivonne asked shyly.

"I´ve met by far worse foxes before" I told them with a little wink, "That one out there in the hallway for example" I explained, "The first few times I met him weren´t exactly nice experiences…"

"Really?" the asked in unison, "What was the matter with him?"

"He was a con-artist back then" I told them, "And he really was good at it. He was acting like the most adorable gentleman with the best manners you can ever want from a guy, and all of that was just to make profit out of it in the end. It really wasn´t easy to change his mind back then…"

"Wow, really? How could he change that much?"

"I forced him to help me with the Nighthowlers-case, which you may have heard of" I whispered lowly, "I discovered his brilliant talent for that job, and when he realized how much fun that actually can be and how well we got along with each other, he quickly became the best friend I ever had…" I explained the story, "He wasn´t always like he is today…"

"That is so awesome! I never knew about that…I thought it was just…"

"…he wasn´t always a hero, and he really is a little ashamed about his past, but I think it´s more important who he is right now and what he made out of himself."

"You two really are the most awesome people of this city, if I´m allowed to say that" Sarah remarked, now with a little more self-confidence, "...and you are so much nicer to normal people like us privately than I expected…"

"Is there a reason not to be nice?" I asked with a proud little smile about her words, "...and you are the ones who saved us from the snow-storm!" I added with a warm chuckle, just as Rico joined us again silently.

He had a few pieces of clothing in his arms, and because Nick was still talking on the phone in the hallway, he brought it into the living room for now and took a seat besides us on the couch once again.

"Damn…he´s quite in a well shape, isn´t he?" he commented, "…never expected that…is that part of the police training?"

"No, it´s our private workout after work" I let him know with a chuckle, "I managed to push him into that as well, I wanted him to keep up with me physically…"

"Probably one of the reasons why he won the title" Sarah chuckled.

"If you only knew how annoyed he is by that already" I let them know with a little grin, "He never really wanted that to happen, but it mostly were the recent happenings that caused all that I guess…"

"Title?" Rico asked, still confused about our topic.

"SMA stands for sexiest man alive" I explained to him quickly, just as Nick was joining us again. He noticed me saying that as well, but he ignored it completely, just as I was expecting it. He wasn´t even giving us the chance to get deeper into that topic.

POV Rico

"The Chief is as concerned as ever about us" the red fox told his police partner shortly, after he had brought the phone back to where he found it, "Some colleagues will pick us up here later, they give us a quick call when they´re in Tundratown…"

Judy nodded in agreement shortly.

I just noticed that Sarah and Ivonne both still kept on staring at him with big eyes. Like I´ve never seen somebody stare before, it was like they were addicted to look at his body. He surely noticed, but he seemed to be used to it already. Considering what has just been happening to him, he kept his cool quite well I would say. I couldn´t quite believe what I just heard him talking on the phone to his colleague.

"You surely are not used to those temperatures, are you?" Judy chuckled at him with a little smile.

He just spared her an ironic little sigh for that comment.

"Rico has found some spare clothing you can borrow for now" she told him then.

"It´s nothing special, but it will do for now I think" I affirmed while pointing at the little stack of clothing I had placed on the other end of the couch.

"Oh man, yes! That´s perfect!" he told me happily, "Thank you so much, brother" he told me with a chummy smile, "I really owe you one for that!"

Then he took a quick look at the combination of a T-shirt, boxer shorts, long blue jogging pants and a warm gray hoodie I never wore. Then he nodded confidently, "That´s just what I need right now! I will personally make it up to you someday!" he announced, and he really was happy about my help. I felt a little proud about it actually.

"Glad I could help" I waved it off, "You don't even have to hurry or anything…"

"You´re awesome, dude!" he told me once more, while he put the stack of closing back down to free his paws. Then he simply undid the towel he had around his waist and started dressing himself right here in the living room. There certainly was a reason why the girls where fawning over him this much, but watching their reactions to that was even more entertaining right now. Not even Judy could hide a little smile at the girly giggling from my roommates.

"Live it´s even better than on TV, isn´t it?" Judy asked Sarah and Ivonne without any shame, "Such a show off!"

It surprised me a little, but he just shook his head about it in slight annoyance. He wasn´t bothered about our staring and just acted like it never happened. He surely had nothing to hide, there was no other word for it, but he wasn´t even slightly bragging about anything. He just finished dressing himself and took a seat besides me on the couch when he was done.

"That's much better" he commented happily, before he started folding the wet towel carefully.

Sarah had begun to prepare some cups of tea in the meanwhile, probably just to distract herself a little from that picture in her head. Both of my roommates were clearly excited to have him here, and I had the feeling that Judy noticed that also.

Sarah now handed a cup of tea over to Judy, who gladly took it with a little smile, and the next one she had filled found its way to her police partner soon afterwards. The both waited patiently until everyone had a cup and then we all took the first careful sips of the hot beverage.

"Oh that´s so good right now" Nick told us happily, "I can´t thank you guys enough for what you did! You really saved us from that nightmare!"

"We couldn't just let you freeze to death out there…" Ivonne chuckled, now a little calmer.

"And you were running for over two miles until you got here?" I asked with great interest, "I couldn´t even do that in warm weather…"

"That wasn´t the worst part of the story" Nick explained with a little sigh, before showing us his slightly bruised wrists, "When I woke up, I was hanging from the ceiling just by my paws which were tied together…"

"That looks painful!"

"It was. But the even more worse thing was that crazy bitch of a wolf with her stupid knife."

"Oh god, don't remind me" Judy sighed, "That scared the hell out of me!"

"What did she do to you? Did she try to threaten somebody with that?"

"I´m not quite sure what that all was about. But she found another way to annoy us even more" he waved it off, apparently not wanting to tell us any more details about that, "…But when she was looking away for a second, I kicked her to the ground with my feet and bit through the fabric of the strings. When I was free from that I stole her knife and used it to untie Judy as well…"

"And you didn´t find your uniform after that?" I asked in amusement.

"There was no time. We literally took out their first two security guards and ran away from their backup…"

"Damn…" I told them, being quite impressed, "…and you two are sitting here like nothing happened…"

"Could have been worse" Judy pointed out, smiling at us while doing so.

"Yeah…" Nick agreed with a little sigh, "…anyways, can we please stop talking about us right now?" he asked with an ironic little chuckle, "We have to hear this for the rest of the week anyways…and I´m so tired of talking only about myself all the time."

Judy nodded in agreement. She didn´t seem to be in the mood for that either.

"What do you guys do?" Nick asked us with great interest.

"I´m a teacher" Sarah told him plainly, still fixated on him, because he was the one who asked.

"That sounds fun, actually" Nick told us excitedly, "I always wanted to be one as a kid…"

"Really?" Judy also wanted to know, "I always though you wanted to become a body builder" she giggled.

"Haha, very funny! Haven't heard that before…"

"I´m just kidding" she calmed him down with a little grin.

"…and you two?" he asked us then, "What do you do for a living?"

"I´m a pharmacist" Ivonne told him quickly, "Nothing special…"

"What do you mean ´nothing special´? Thats not bad either…" Judy remarked, "I find that quite interesting!"

"You think?"
"That´s some to be proud of in any case" Nick agreed, "There are by far worse ways to earn your money with…" he sighed lightheartedly. The three girls seemed to know what he was referring to, I didn´t once again. But it didn´t seem to be that important this time.

"And Rico, what do you do?" Nick wanted to know after another little pause filled with awkward silence.

"I´m…well…" I began hesitantly, "I´m a musician."

"That´s awesome too" Nick remarked, "I always wanted to learn an instrument…"

"Have you ever tried it?" I wanted to know.

"I have" he chuckled, "But I have no talent for that at all..."

"I always thought you work in the movie industry…" Sarah asked me a little puzzled.

"Yeah…I do" I explained, while our guests where listening with great interest as well, "I´m a music producer for movies" I brought it to the point finally.

"Damn" Nick commented, "And you think I am cool?"

"Really? …how come we never hear you playing or practicing here at home?"

"I have a lot of time for that at work…" I said while shrugging my shoulders, "…and I don't want to annoy you, when you´re stressed out and coming back from work…" I told them, "I´m playing here sometimes as well, but only when you´re not at home…"

Now they both giggled a little.

"You really are the easiest guy I ever lived with…" Ivonne remarked.

"He really is a gentleman" Nick pointed out, "You should respect that, because there are a lot of assholes out there as well! And I mean that! ...and you also should be careful about the silent ones" he continued, winking me a little for some reason, "They´re often in for a big surprise when their moment comes…"

I didn´t understand why he was trying to make me more interesting than I actually was, but soon later I figured out that he was probably just tired of all the attention he got all the time.

"Am I allowed to be honest on that for a second?" I asked shyly but with a little smile.

"I beg you to be honest" he affirmed in excitement, not being suspicious at all.

"If I´m honest, I really expected such highly popular people as you to be like that as well, privately, although you don´t seem to be on TV…that was just the first thought that came to my mind. I feel sorry for even thinking like that now…"

Nick just grinned a little and Judy spared me a warm little smile as well, but they both shook their heads about it.

"I´ve met a lot of people like that backstage, they were unfriendly, egoistic and treated everybody like little peasants. I get sick when I even think about that…I never wanted to be like them, and I also don't want to get treated like somebody special" he told us plainly, and Judy agreed by nodding.

"It was so great in the show when you mentioned that" Sarah told him with gleaming eyes, "I loved that moment so much! That arrogant tiger earned it so much in my opinion…"

Nick nodded a little about that, but then he waved it off with a little smile.

"I really need to watch a copy of that, don´t I?" I asked with a little chuckle, because I didn´t get what all that was about once again.

"No, you really don't" Officer Wilde waved it off, "I wouldn´t care about that either…I never even knew something like that existed. And right now, I find it much more interesting what you do for a living…"

"…yeah, Rico" Ivonne chuckled, referring to that again, "Why do you never play anything for us?"

I just shrugged my shoulders a little, not really understanding what their point was right now.

"You never asked me to…" I told them then the truth plainly, "And I´m not the kind of guy who likes to show off with anything…"

That made them quiet for a little moment, and I believed that I slowly got why they were mentioning all that. But surprisingly, exactly Nick was the next one to say something.

"I don't think somebody would believe me this, but I´m actually not trying to do that either…but whatever I do seems to be made of gold" he sighed, actually not really that happy about it.

"He is not lying about that, actually" Judy giggled, "You should see how annoyed he is about that every time it happens…"

"We´ve had so much trouble because of that already…" he agreed, "Thinking about it now really makes me regret it…"

"Honestly?" Sarah asked, "I always thought you two have the most awesome life ever…"
"That´s probably just what it looks like in stupid shows like that" Nick sighed.

"Yeah…and working undercover also should be quite a lot harder now" Judy added, "That was not exactly ideal for our job…"

There was another little silence after that, in which some of us got a refill of their cups from Sarah, but then that one topic was brought up once again.

"What does it cost us if we want to hear you playing some music for us someday?" Ivonne wanted to know with a motivating little smile, "I´m quite excited about it now…"

"I don´t know" I chuckled with a mysterious little smile, "Do I look like I wouldn´t do that for free?"

"Nothing is for free" Nick told us dogmatically and with a dirty little grin towards me. I never expected it, but the girls actually liked that kind of humor. But that was probably because it was him who used it. I felt pretty cool right now, because he was the one who was saying it and I had the possibility to just wave it off and be even more of a gentleman.

I already liked this guy. He seemed to be my best buddy already, although I just gotten to know him just half an hour ago. I liked both of them already. They were honest and they were openly talking about everything. I almost forgot that they really were police officers at one point of the conversation. They respected us totally, didn´t cut us off or brag with anything at all. Not even he showed off with anything, although the girls still were fixated on his body nearly all the time. We had a lot to laugh about, talked about everyday topics, about our jobs and so on, and the time passed by like it was nothing.

We had quite an interesting evening already, but then our phone rang suddenly, and when I answered it, I was talking to another police officer, who was in front of the entrance already and kindly asked if he could pick up his colleagues. I was pretty sure I knew that face as well when I saw him coming up the stairs and shook his paw soon afterwards. The gray and black wolf in the blue police uniform was quite in a relaxed mood as well, and when they met him, Nick greeted him back with a little fist bump, before he gave his attention back to us once again. He and Judy thanked us for our help once more quite kindly, and then they simply waved us goodbye and followed their colleague down the stairs, outside into the night. Nick had also promised to personally bring back the clothing he borrowed and make sure to properly return the favor we did them to day. I was excited about that actually, and the girls were too, because I´ve never witnessed them like this, after the three police officers were gone. They were talking to me much more openly, it was much more relaxed than it has been before, although I never had any problems with them, and it turned out to be a great really evening for all of us, before we all went to bed happily.

That meeting today had changed my life a little, and that in quite a good way. I was proud of myself for the first time in quite a while, and I surely had a little different view on police officers now.

They are just like us, basically. They were no gods, they needed help too sometimes, and that was quite cool, simply. I already was hoping to hear from them again soon. They were in the news quite often recently anyways, and what happened today would surely reach the media as well by tomorrow. It would be an interesting today tomorrow anyways, because finally I had something I could talk about at work, and finally I had some self-confidence to play with. It didn´t feel like nobody was interested in my anymore, even Sarah and Ivonne had opened up to me a little now, and that was nothing but a good feeling. Maybe I was no hero, maybe I had no six-pack and maybe I didn´t carry a dart-riffle to work with me, but that didn´t mean I was worthless. I was a great person too, and I noticed it finally. I loved those guys, and I loved myself because of them. What a great duo and what a great day.

Chapter 32 is taking shape slowly, but writing the sex stuff in a good quality is hard work and takes a lot of time. Sorry for the long waiting times again.

See you later, have a great day!
