Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances
Chapter 41 – The strength of a wolf (POV Camilla May)
„Oh, look who it is!" she snickered right after she was brought into my prison cell.
At first, I really was a little excited as I heard that they would bring another vixen here to be my cell-companion, because I was bored to death in here already, but right after her first sentence I knew that this wouldn´t start out well at all. She just saw me and she was going on my nerves already, clearly being in the mood for fighting. Even worse for me: I knew exactly who she was, and that she knew nearly everything about me as well already.
"…Miss I´m-just-going-to-act-up-a-little-so-he-finally-makes-me-his-bitch" she snickered, "…what a nice surprise!" she added ironically.
At first, I was about to reply something equally disrespectful and bitchy to her, but then I figured that it would hurt her ego a lot more if I just smiled about it proudly. The only reason why she was mentioning that could be that she was jealous. Jealous on what he did to me. I was right with that in the end, but right now she just shook her head I disbelief.
I heard the prison-door of the cell next to ours being opened and closed once again soon afterwards, so she must not be the only one who got moved here today. The police officer in charge, probably Delgato or Wildeheart, went back towards the entrance to the hallway and slowly disappeared into the distance.
"Why don't we start with a friendly hello?" I asked my new cellmate then, instead of provoking her back even more like she probably expected me to, "The name is Camilla, but you can call me Cammy if you want…"
She didn´t reply anything to that for now and checked out the bed she would be sleeping on for the next few months.
"…what does it feel like being the reason your drug-dealership failed this badly?" she continued on trying to tease me, and that was pretty ballsy considering I knew why she was here as well. I was hoping I would get along with her sooner or later, but right now I wasn´t ready to ignore all this nonsense. It seemed like there was no other way right now.
"Are you feeling stupid about t-"
"Rachel" I interrupted her by her first name now, "Compensating your envy by insulting me won´t help you at all. And I wouldn´t recommend you to act like the big shot right now either, considering what you´ve done to get here…"
That shut her up for dead right now.
"…If I was Nick, I think I would have at least considered to really do that to you. No matter how much you hated him, calling him a rapist was just utterly false and stupid."
"How do you know about that?" she asked, now noticeably lower and less aggressive.
"One of the officers showed me the video a few days ago. I know a few of them pretty well, they always got their coffee from my coffee-shop…"
She just nodded a little but kept her quiet now. She understood slowly that I wasn´t impressed by her appearance at all.
"…I made mistakes as well" I confessed right afterwards, "I´m not even trying to deny it, but you know it just as well as me how painful it is to be in heat because of somebody. I mean…look at the walls of this prison-cell…" I pointed out with a slight chuckle, hinting towards the claw-marks and scratches I had decorated the walls with earlier.
Her view went over the walls quickly, then she sighed suddenly.
"Was it at least good?" she wanted to know then, and she even smiled a tiny little bit now.
"Wouldn´t want to have it like that again" I answered her dryly.
She examined me for another moment, but unlike I expected she wasn´t looking that surprised about hearing it.
"…he´s quite a beast, isn´t he?"
"I think he can be quite gentle as well, but not when he´s on a mission and/or trying to find out the truth about something… and trust me, considering that getting raped never is funny I assume, you really wouldn´t want Nick Wilde to do that to you."
"Why? What´s wrong about him? What did he do to you?"
"You´re very curious" I told her coldly, because I didn´t really want to talk about that right now.
"This must have been so exciting still" she totally ignored it, "His body is so utterly perfect. I think I still wouldn´t say no if I had a chance to…"
I sighed once again, then I decided to just get it over with right away. "It was exciting…but then it quickly became terrifying and very painful."
"Painful? Terrifying?"
"…how was it hanging in the air by just one of his arms?" I asked back in return, "Yeah…don´t tell me you weren´t terrified when he did that. You must know very well how strong he is…"
That shut her up for a moment, finally. But just for a moment.
"Did he make you cum at least?" she kept on asking.
"What do you expect?" I grinned now, "He didn´t even need the knot for it. He´s endowed like a wolf and has the strength of one too…"
"God that sounds so hot!"
"Oh really? I would have traded with you with what he did to me before that…"
She looked at me right now like she wanted to know every single detail, but I kept shaking my head. That was all she was going to get right now. I left her hanging there on purpose, because now I had something I could annoy her with, if she wouldn´t stop that very soon.
"…at least he did you the favour" she chuckled.
"Yeah…I was thankful for it in the end…"
"Oh really?" she asked ironically, "You were thankful for a night with the hottest fox in town?"
"Come on, really?!" a male voice besides suddenly groaned in annoyance, it must have been the new guy they just brought in here, "…Could you stop talking about that dude already? It´s like every girl in the city is talking about him…" he complained.
"Oh yeah" Rachel snickered back, "so what?"
"…I´m sick of hearing it!" he replied, "…does that make him something better than everybody else?"
"Sounds a little like you´re jealous to me" Rachel fired back right away.
"You´re talking about him like there are no other male foxes in this city whatsoever…" he told her with a slight chuckle.
"There are others, but they´re all jokes compared to him…" she answered him.
"That is bullshit…" he let us know, and I already began to like this guy a little. He managed to trigger her already with just these few words, and I really enjoyed seeing her being annoyed.
"…and you´re sounding like the most basic-bitch I have ever heard by the way" he added with a chuckle, "I know a lot of quite kind and awesome guys who are easily as cool as him, just saying…and not a single one of them would even consider dating somebody as small-minded and hateful as you…"
"Just shut up over there, nobody was talking to you anyway!"
"Remember my words, darling" he chuckled, "You´re probably going to land on your big mouth once again sooner or later…"
"Shut up! Who do you even think you are talking to?" Rachel asked.
She still shook her head in disbelief, and I couldn´t help but shake my head about that. She probably thought I was still on her side and found that guy equally annoying as her, but she was so wrong with that. Actually, she was more by far worse than him right now, and his answers and arguments also where a lot smarter and by far more mature than the crap she was talking.
"Such an idiot" she whispered lowly, "Who does he think he is?"
I just shrugged my shoulders for now.
"…my life really is fucked up right now" she complained loudly, "It all started in that stupid sex-bar, didn´t it?"
"You were there too?" I asked her, really being a little interested in that topic though.
"Yeah…I was there with a friend, originally just to calm down a little and have a good time…"
"Oh yeah…I remember…you two were flirting with him, right? When he had the black and grey colours in his fur?"
She nodded shortly, "But we didn´t come very far before he blew his cover…" she chuckled, "Goddamn did I feel stupid afterwards…we were even talking about him…with him…"
"That was one hell of a performance from him, wasn´t it?" I agreed with a little smile.
"…but it seems like he fucked up your life with that just as much as he did with mine now, didn´t he?"
Now I shook my head again, "No…I messed that up for myself. Without that stupid thing with the weed and cocaine I wouldn´t have ended up in this prison. I would just have had a few very unnerving and painful weeks because of him…"
She just shrugged her shoulders a little. She was not looking very pleased about my answer, probably because I wasn´t sharing her hate on him. That was so goddamn stupid from her, I wanted to make her feel that even more.
"…and you shouldn´t blame him for it either, you were the one who called him a rapist and caused all that trouble" I reminded her.
"Couldn´t argue with that" the guy in the cell besides us suddenly found his voice again, "No matter if you like him or not, that was just a weak move and very disrespectful…"
"I know!" she yelled out loud suddenly, "I know that was not the right thing to do, okay?" she asked.
"I´m sorry to say it" I told her a little lower, "…but I must agree with him, Nick had a right to be pissed on you…"
"But I was pissed to!" she tried defending herself, "…and I was scared! He hurt my friend Delilah during his escape, and like you´ve said: he pushed me against a wall with just one arm and even threw me on the ground afterwards!"
"You should consider that he got sort of raped right before that…" the guy chuckled lowly at what Rachel said, "…and I´m pretty sure it´s quite understandable that he reacted like that."
"Nobody was asking you!" Rachel yelled back at him, obviously very annoyed, "Shut up over there, stop listening…"
There was a short silence after that.
"…you know" the male voice returned again, "…just think about it: would you say its fair if he was in prison for raping you, although he didn´t do it, and you were on free foot?"
"I wasn´t asking for clever words, thank you!" she spat out hatefully.
"Well…you must be happy with yourself…" he commented with a little chuckle, and I nearly slipped another giggle because of it.
"Oh yeah? And what about you, huh?"
"Me?" he asked back, "I´m actually having a pretty good time right now…" he chuckled, "Quite amusing to listen…"
"Really…" she sighed, "Why don't you little asshole just mind your own business and stop listening?"
"…you´re getting very aggressive just because of hearing the truth" he commented, "and do you really expect that I´m not listening when there is nothing else to do in here?"
"He has a point with that" I chuckled, "There is not much to do here…"
"Whatever…he can go fuck himself" she said, loud enough so he could hear it.
"That´s not very mature either" he chuckled, and found myself agreeing with him yet once more.
"One more word and I come over and beat your ass!" Rachel told him angrily, "I´m not joking, I´ll-"
"I´d love to see that" he laughed, "And I´d bet you would regret that idea as soon as you´re over here."
"Ha! You think I´m scared of you?" she asked, "You already sound like you´re a little looser with a two-inch wiener!"
I had a hard time to stop myself from chuckling about it in the meanwhile. Rachel really was that sort of cocky bitch that likeed to mess with everything and everyone. Seeing her being this annoyed really made me a little happy right now.
"Nope…" the guy on the other side of the wall answered calmly, "Can´t complain actually. More like ´the strength of a wolf and endowed like one too´" he told her with the words that I used earlier and another little chuckle in his voice.
He really had been listening this whole time, and now I couldn´t hide a little chuckle about it actually. We really were talking to a wolf, so it made sense that he wasn´t afraid of her in any way, although she couldn´t get out of this cell anyway. Because of what he said earlier I was thinking there was a fox sitting on the other side of that wall this whole time, and I liked the humour in that already. Rachel seemed to be less amused about it, obviously.
"And even if!" Rachel told him in total annoyance, "Shut up already, you´re annoying!"
"I find him quite funny actually" I told her without any shame, "…and he´s not telling lies…"
She just stared at me hatefully and shook her head in pure disbelief. Now she seemed to hate me a little more once again, but I didn´t care too much about that right now.
"Who are you, what´s your name?" I asked the guy on the other side of the wall just for fun.
"The name is Nick" he told us, "…and I´m pretty sure we know each other already…"
"Do I know a wolf named Nick?" I asked myself, "Was he a customer at my coffee-shop who came regularly but never told me his name?"
I was a little puzzled.
"How close do I know you?" I asked as a test, "Can´t really remember, I´m sorry…"
Now he chuckled a little once more. "…we know each other as close as that I have saved you from your heat three weeks ago" he told me calmly.
It took me another moment to understand that, but then I realized it, finally. Now I couldn't hide a huge grin anymore, I even started giggling a little. It felt so good to laugh, I haven´t done that in quite a while already.
Now it also made sense why his voice seemed to be so familiar all along. He actually was the fox we were talking about this whole time, only that he had been talking in the third person about himself. I didn´t quite get what the purpose of all that was or what he was doing in a prison cell in the first place, but it was funny to watch Rachel´s expression right now nevertheless. She immediately froze in shock right where she was and didn´t move a single muscle anymore. We suddenly heard how the lock of the door right next to us opened electrically and the door opened slowly. Without another word, just with a little smile, he strolled out of his cell and wandered a few feet down the hallway into our direction. He was looking as good as ever, wearing his blue police uniform and that mysterious little smile on his face. Rachel on the other hand looked like she wanted to sink into the ground right now.
"Told you" he chuckled, "…you would fall on your mouth with those words pretty soon…"
Then he grabbed the handle of our cell-door suddenly and simply opened it. It wasn´t even locked this whole time since they brought Rachel here, and just now I noticed that.
Rachel knew nothing to reply on that. She has just said all those words about him -again- he heard every single one of them -again- and she had no chance to deny it, also just like at the first time that happened. I couldn´t even imagine how ashamed she must feel right now.
"I´m sorry about that" Nick told me with a little wink, "This was the last stupid thing you had to stand through" he explained, "…but I´ve heard everything I needed from you: You know what you did wrong and you regret it."
I nodded a little, still not quite believing it.
"…I did that just to test you a little, and you did nothing wrong at all. You´re not a bad person, Cammy. You just got on a wrong path a little…"
"…but…but…I…what?" I stuttered, because he gestured me to take the lead out of the prison cell.
"You just did some harmless drug dealing in the end" he calmed me down with a little wink, "And you helped us massively with finding the other guys."
"I…I…" I stuttered. I didn´t know what to say to that.
"This is all her cell now" he told me while hinting towards Rachel, "You´ll stay on probation for half a year, but you can head home now…take the lead!" he added with another friendly little wink.
"I…I…really?"
"Yeah, go already!" he chuckled, "…before I might not be able to control myself anymore and do god knows what with a certain person in this cell…"
I slipped another little giggled because of that, as I finally managed to move my feet and slowly walked through the open cell door.
"You little asshole" Rachel muttered hatefully, but he just grinned about it.
"I´m standing right here if you still want to ´beat my ass´, Miss I-mess-with-everything-and-everyone…" he told her teasingly, "…but I wouldn´t recommend that, because I won´t have a problem with shutting you up once again."
She just kept on staring at him hatefully, but she wasn´t that enthusiastic about finding out. He just turned around a moment later, followed me outside the cell and closed the door gently. He gave her one last little smirk, and then, automatically, the electric lock snapped close right before her.
"Sweet dreams, Rachel" Nick wished her with one final little wink, before we started moving again, "…and thanks for the roses by the way."
Holy shit did I feel good right now. Just two minutes ago I still was thinking I would have to endure that stupid bitch of a reporter for a few months or longer, but now that angel of a police officer saved me once again.
We were walking side by side until we reached the end of the corridor, the electric lock on that door opened automatically for us as well and Nick even held it open for me. I was just flattered by everything he did for me. This felt like the best day of my life already.
POV Max Wolfheart
"Pah!" I grinned at him, "The strength of a wolf?" I snickered, "I want you to prove that to me, we´re arm-wrestling later, buddy!"
Cammy was not the only one who couldn´t hide a little smile at the trash I was talking.
"Those were her words actually" Nick chuckled, shaking his head with a little smile while taking the clipboard that Judy handed him.
"Quite a method to test somebody" Judy remarked Nick´s idea with pretending to be locked in a prison cell.
"Too bad it won´t work like that with most other prisoners" Nick commented in amusement.
"You acted this out so perfectly" Cammy chuckled light-heartedly, "I knew that voice was familiar somehow, but I didn´t expect that at all…"
"Yeah, your performance was quite impressive, Nicky" Jennifer agreed from above me, because she rested her arms on my shoulders this whole time.
"Thank you" he calmly said while noting a few things down onto Cammy´s release-documents with his pen. Before was done with it, Chief Bogo stepped through the door.
"Hopps, Wilde!" he greeted, "The new apprentices are here for their first exciting experience at the ZPD…"
Nick´s shoulder dropped a little immediately, "Yeah…right, that…" he sighed, "…there was that as well…"
"Aww" Judy giggled at him, "Come on, little Nicky. Everybody has their first day you know? This will be fun!"
"Why is Wolfheart grinning like he just won the lottery?" Nick asked suspiciously.
I couldn´t help myself but grin even more. There obviously was a reason for me to be this happy, and the Chief couldn´t hide it either, apparently.
"Not that important" Bogo waved it off in a clever way, before he went on his way again already, "Meet you in the briefing room in five minutes. Wolfheart, you know your part!"
I nodded.
"Oh great" Nick sighed once again, before he finally signed the document he had filled out for Cammy and handed the clipboard back over to a quite amused Judy, "This can only end well for me…"
"Come on" Judy chuckled, as she signed the document herself and handed it over to Cammy afterwards, "It won´t be that bad, will it?"
Nick wasn´t in that bad of a mood actually, he was quite amused about it as well obviously, but it was nothing compared to the vixen he just got out of her prison cell. She looked like this was the best day of her life.
"…If I only had a cup of coffee before that" Nick joked ironically and with a little wink, before he shook his head again at my stupid grinning.
"Yeah…I wouldn´t say no to that either" Judy chuckled with a warm little smile.
"Thank you so much!" Cammy told them happily, still not able to believe it apparently.
"It´s alright, Cammy" Judy smiled, "Just be careful of who you surround yourself with in the future…"
"Yeah" Nick agreed, "Make something out of your life, it´s not like you´re chanceless."
"I will! Thank you so much!"
"Bye, Cammy, have a good day!" Nick told her.
"See you around for a cup of coffee" I added with a little grin while also waving her shortly.
Jennifer already was on her way to guide her to the place where she would get back her personal belongings, and Cammy followed her immediately of course. When they were out of earshot I grinned at him one more time.
"Freaking show off" I teased him once again.
He just yawned deeply.
"Yeah, yeah" he chuckled with a little wink, "…better make sure to shut your mouth in front of the cadets later!" he warned, as he and Judy got on their way as well, "I´ll pay you back someday, you know that!" he warned.
"You can always count on me" I grinned back ironically, "You´re going to have fun with that now, let me tell you!"
POV Nick, five minutes later:
The Chief was right earlier: there where a lot of new recruits this year. There where quite a few apprentices here to visit the city-centre today, and all of them were excitedly waiting for it to begin already. Judy and I had some good timing to get in there as it turned out, because nobody noticed us when we sneaked in and went far back into the last row as quickly as possible. We were about to answer a million questions today anyway, so I wasn´t exactly begging for them to notice us just yet. They were too excited while talking to each other anyway.
Soon later I found out why Bogo and Wolfheart were so excited about this: It was not one but three foxes who apparently had joined the ZPD academy this year. But that wasn´t the only surprise for us, because there was also another bunny who wanted to try his luck. This was about to get more interesting than I thought initially.
The Chief was already here, a minute later Wolfheart joined us as well and closed the door behind him quietly. He took a short look at everybody, and it immediately got quiet in the room as they noticed him. I signalized him to not mention Judy and I sitting behind them just yet and he nodded with a short little wink, before he suddenly turned off the lights in the room and the ZPD logo became visible, which Bogo´s projector had thrown at the wall this whole time already.
"Cadets!" Bogo began from the left corner he was standing in, being as direct as ever, "Welcome to your first day in the ZPD city-centre!"
He got a short clapping from the fifteen or so people.
"To my left you can see officer Max Wolfheart, who I didn´t send on patrol so he can join us here today, my name is Chief Bogo, and this is the first presentation I´ve done in quite a while."
He wanted to start it off by switching to the next page of his presentation with the little remote he held in his hooves, only to find out that it wasn´t working like he had planned it. I really had a hard time to not give him a stupid comment for that. That has happened before and he still didn´t get it fixed since the last time. Max wasn´t even trying to shut his mouth.
"You didn´t really had to mention that you haven't done this in a while, Chief" he chuckled.
"Shut up, Wolfheart" Bogo grunted back, "You should rather go over there and hit the spacebar on my notebook when I tell you too!"
"Alright" he agreed light-heartedly while walking over to his desk. Everybody was chuckling in amusement already.
"First of all" the Chief finally began, as a picture of this very room at a morning briefing showed up, where Judy and I sat in the front row as usual and Bogo was explaining something, "What does a day at the ZPD look like, usually?" he asked rhetorically, "We begin with a morning meeting…" he explained then.
"Well" Max interrupted just for the giggles, pointing at the buffalo, "…he is, usually. We´re just physically there…"
"Wolfheart!" Bogo became louder, sounding a little annoyed by the laughter already, "Next page!"
The next picture we saw were Delgato and Jennifer sitting in front of the monitors in the control-room of the prison area. "We have a department only for the purpose of taking care of the prisoners we have here. Every day and every night there is somebody to make sure everything is as it should."
Max switched to the next page already. It showed the garage with all the police cruisers in it. "This is our fleet of vehicles we use for patrol and other purposes. Normally, that annoying wolf over there would be in one of those as well right now, joined by the other clown who likes to hang off buildings in his spare-time…" he commented dryly to take revenge on him.
Max just grinned about it shortly, took it with an ironic little smile like he always did, but then he switched to the next page right afterwards. This time it was a picture of me, sitting in an interrogation-room and looking at the data-sheet of a prisoner. I was resting my head on my palms in that shot and looked a little like I would fall asleep pretty soon. They all were giggling about that as well, obviously.
"Yeah…this is one of our interrogation rooms, in case you wondered…" Bogo commented with a little smirk.
The next page switched to the beginning of a video, and this time it was the whole cut of our last undercover mission, the one in the sex-bar. Max commented it.
"That one is my favourite" he began with a little grin, "This is a great example of undercover-work, and it´s by a certain couple of detectives from our department you may have heard of before…"
Right at that moment the video showed the shot from the security camera where I went over to the table of the dealership, half-naked as I was.
"…If you asked me if he is the biggest show-off I've ever met in my life…" he chuckled, before he left a little comedic pause, "…yes, without a doubt."
His sister just handed me the bucket of water I asked her for in the video.
"In case you didn´t notice because of the grey colours Judy painted him with, the fox you see there is no one less than our detective Nick Wilde, our SMA of this year…" he added, "Quite fitting they choose him for that mission, isn´t it?" he grinned.
They were all laughing and giggling about it in excitement, and even the Chief looked like he had planned to annoy me with it right now.
"…anyways, his disguise works quite well so far, doesn't it?"
They all were enjoying that video with great excitement, and it ended when I used my magic finger-gun on that coyote. Luckily the cut it off there, I wouldn´t have wanted them to show the part with Cammy which followed after that.
When they all had calmed down from their laughter a little, a short silence appeared before Max switched to the next page again.
"Just to annoy the hell out of him" he chuckled, "We´re going to show you what else we´ve seen him doing in this house so far, if you haven´t seen it on the SMA show already…"
Obviously, what followed was the video where I walked through the hallway without any clothes on, when Judy and I fought the guys in the Nox-clan, when they pranked us in the new youth-activity-centre and finally, when I waved everybody on the stage of that SMA show. When all of that was over, the Chiefs presentation was at its end and Wolfheart activated the lights again. They waited for the short happy applause from the new recruits, and shortly afterwards the first ones raised their paws to ask their questions already.
"Yes" Max picked the first one, and she was one of the vixens who was in the audience.
"Are they here today? I…I mean officer Hopps and Wilde…I would love to meet them in person."
"Yes, my darling" Max chuckled, "I´ll personally make sure you´ll get an autograph and a selfie with them later!"
She just smiled in excitement as she heard that, but Max picked the next question right away.
"Is it true that you and officer Fangmeyer got stabbed in the back with your own prank you used against Nick?" a lioness in the audience asked with a little giggle.
Now it was I who grinned widely, and there was no doubt that he saw that.
"No…I have no idea where you got that from…" he lied with a little smirk, "…I´ve no idea what you are talking about…"
"I do" the Chief grinned at him, and everybody laughed about it loudly.
"…I just wanted to add" the lioness said quickly, "…I really enjoyed seeing you three on stage at the SMA show. That was the coolest part of it, and not only because you´re police officers!"
"Aw" Max smiled, "Thank you so much!"
Bogo just shook his head with an ironic little grin.
"…see, chief?" Max added, "At least somebody appreciates us…"
"I knew you were useful for something" the Chief replied dryly.
Max picked the next question in the meanwhile.
"Will there be such a surprise party again?" somebody else asked.
"Hopefully" Max chuckled.
"Is it true that officer Hopps and Wilde have their own office in this building?" somebody else wanted to know.
"Yeah…that´s the next thing I wanted to ask, Chief!" Max grinned, "When do I get my own office?"
"How about never?" he replied dryly.
"Dammit" Max complained with an ironic little smile.
Now it was one of the vixens who raised her paws.
"About that made-up rape story we´ve all heard in the news: Did you ever witness him as mad as on that day?"
"I never witnessed a day as epic as that before" he chuckled, "But trust me, although it´s not easy to get him out of his calm, you wouldn´t want to find out what happens to you if he does. Judy and him stormed that building like a hailstorm on that day, Daniel and I nearly couldn´t keep up with them. They knocked them all out in just a few minutes and he punched that one psychotic wolf lady into hospital just with his fists…" he told the story once again, "…on that day I really was scared of him in more than just that one perspective…" he added with a dirty little grin, "…the freaking casa-nova…"
I knew he would bring that up at one point, but I still hated him for it right now.
POV Max Wolfheart
I had more fun doing this than I had expected. It wasn't only that he was sitting right behind them, watching his expression was utterly satisfying as well. I knew I would get punished from him for that later, but that was so worth it.
"You think he lied about it in the show?" one of the two vixens asked me with a dirty little grin, and that was the most perfect thing that could happen.
I took a quick look over to Nick, who was resting his head on his palms in annoyance meanwhile. He sighed a little and stared at me with an annoyed gaze, Judy grinned at him just as much as I did. They already must have been wondering already why I was smiling like an idiot this whole time.
"This may sound weird…" I chuckled, "But I´ve heard that questions a couple of times already…"
"Really?" the lioness from earlier wanted to know.
"Yeah, it´s weird isn´t it?" I asked, "…as if I knew that…do I look like I was trying to find that out?" I chuckled.
"Can I say…" Nick suddenly took the word from the last row, "…normally, the Chief would just have told him to shut up, take this Q&A seriously and stop this nonsense immediately, but he knows just as well as Max how much that annoys me, and that´s why he is not stopping him..."
"That is correct, Wilde…" the Chief confirmed with an amused grin, "…have a guess why I wanted you to be here…"
"Goddammit" Nick just sighed while shaking his head.
Now they all stared at him dumbfoundedly. He just raised one of his eyebrows with a little smile. The vixen who asked that last question covered her mouth in shock and I used that little moment of silence to grin at him even more. It took another few seconds until they were able to believe it finally and started laughing and cheering in excitement.
"We´ve been sitting here this whole time by the way" Nick commented dryly but with a little chuckle, "Quite exciting here, isn´t it?"
"Exciting enough to not notice you, apparently" I chuckled, "But tell us, Nick…what does it feel like to run naked through the ZPD building, you little show-off?"
"How does it feel like to hang from the roof of the highest building of Zootopia, Max?"
They all were still giggling uncontrollably from our little bickering, while Nick stood up from his chair and walked towards Bogos desk slowly. Judy decided to stay back there and watch him in amusement.
"It´s quite refreshing to see you dressed in your police uniform every once in a while…" I grinned, "You wouldn´t want to know what I found when I searched your name online for…you know…research purposes…" I grinned ironically, "…I had to search for quite a while until I found a photo of you wearing anything…"
Nick just cocked an eyebrow at me. Everybody around us was still laughing their asses off.
"Research purposes?" he asked me dryly, "Really? I never searched for myself on the web…" he told us, "…I find doing that with yourself a little weird to be honest…"
While he explained, he went for the Chief´s notebook without asking him for his permission and closed the presentation.
"Do it, Nick" Judy chuckled loudly, "I´m quite interested in that as well right now…"
"Oh yeah?" he asked her ironically, "Why? …research purposes?"
She just grinned a little more.
"Hey Chief" Nick told him, just as I noticed it myself, "Nice wallpaper by the way…"
Ever since I was here, Chief Bogo had the same, plain and boring standard desktop Wallpaper on his Notebook, and I never thought he would change it one day, but now it clearly showed something different. It was a picture of Daniel and I hanging on that stupid tower. Nick grinned widely and everybody was laughing even more about it now.
"That´s…that´s" the Chief stuttered, "I didn´t do that, …how?"
"Have a guess who did" Nick grinned, "…but since you haven't noticed it earlier, I would say you´re pretty cool with it, aren't you?"
"Wilde!" he complained loudly.
"Yes, chief?" he asked.
"Get away from my laptop! Stop changing stuff!"
"No idea how that happened, Chief" he grinned ironically, while was opening the internet browser. Bogo crossed his arms, but he didn´t actually do anything to stop him.
"Okay…" Nick sighed, "Let´s see what we got here…"
Then he typed his own name into the search-bar slowly. A few thousand search-results popped up immediately, and the first word that was suggested at the most-searched list was ´nude´, followed by ´SMA´, ´career´ and ´heat´.
"Oh god, really?" he asked with a little sigh, as everybody was laughing about it. He went on the pictures button in the search results, the first few images loaded, and then he closed the browser again immediately.
"Yeah…" he concluded while everybody was still chuckling, "…so that´s that... I think that was enough that for now…"
"Told you" I chuckled as everybody continued on giggling happily.
"Whatever…" he sighed with a little smile, "What am I even doing?" he asked, before he turned directly towards the new cadets, "Welcome to the ZPD, everybody! How are you all doing?"
POV Suzanne
I couldn´t believe it when I heard her voice on the connection to the entrance. But I opened up for her of course and she really was coming up the staircase when I opened the door of my flat to check it out. My eyes nearly watered because of the joy that came up inside me. It really was her.
"Cammy!"
"Oh my god!" she greeted me excitedly, "I´m so happy to see you!"
I hugged her right away very tightly, but then I pulled her into my flat quickly. There was so much I wanted to talk about.
"How…why…" I stuttered, "…did they?"
"They let me out on probation! Can you believe it?"
"Told you it was the right thing to do!"
"I know!"
"So proud of you!" I whispered, "And I´m so happy you´re back!"
"I´m happy too, you can imagine!"
"There is so much I need to ask you!" I told her right away, "How was it in your cell…I mean…yeah… …and have you seen the SMA show this year?" was the next thing I had to ask immediately.
"Hell yeah I did!" she grinned, just waving off the first question "They even asked me if they were allowed to talk about it before that…"
"They?"
"Officers Fangmeyer and Wolfheart…" she explained, "They asked me personally if I was cool with that. You know, that thing about Nick, where I ripped apart all of his clothing…"
I couldn´t hide a dirty little grin right now.
"…I told them it was okay, as long as I could see the show somehow…"
"It was so great!" I grinned, "We all have to thank you so much for this! He´s such a beast, isn´t he!"
"Oh, I bet you would have liked that…" she chuckled with a dirty little grin.
I just grinned even wider.
"No way!" she laughed, "…don't tell me…"
"I took care of him in the hospital for nearly a whole week…you know, after he got injured that badly…"
"Oh, I can imagine it already" she grinned, but she wasn´t that mad about hearing it, "I just know you too well, this must have been so funny for him to see your reaction…"
I nodded with a wide grin. "You haven´t been lying though…" I told her then.
"Would I ever?" she grinned back.
"God that was so good!" I grinned.
"How did you even get him this far?"
"I just had to annoy him long enough, and then he made me shut up finally…"
"Clever girl" she remarked.
I just waved it off with another dirty little smile. We would come back to that later anyways, there was no doubt about that.
"And they just told you that you can leave today?"
"Got to tell you that story as well" she giggled, "So…this morning this reporter-bitch was brought into my prison cell…"
"Rachel whatwashername?" I asked, knowing who she was talking about right away.
"Yeah… you´ve probably heard in the news about it…so she came in and immediately started fighting with me…"
POV Judy
"Alright" I interrupted the little Q&A with the new cadets finally, "I think those were enough questions from you guys for now, because now it´s my turn" I told them with a little smile.
Bogo was still standing on the side and listened in amusement, Nick was sitting on Bogo´s chair like he was the boss and Max thought it was funny to take a seat besides the two vixens who were among the new ones and listen to us from the first row.
"I´m curious about your inspiration" I told our little audience, "Why do you want to become a police officer? What´s your reason?"
"Never had the looks to become a model and haven´t got the body for the erotic-business either…" Max chuckled with a big grin.
Nick grabbed a pencil from Bogo´s desk and threw it at his head because of that comment, we all were laughing about it once again.
"Yeah…" I grinned at him, "Nick, what are you even doing here?" I asked him ironically.
"You be glad I´m all out of pencils right now, darling…" he sighed with a little wink.
"No, but really…" Nick switched the topic, "What were your reasons?"
A few of the cadets raised their paws now and I picked the first one just by chance. It was the lioness who was asking Max about the SMA show earlier.
"I always thought it was pretty cool. I love to help people and I like being taken seriously."
"That´s a good answer" Nick told her with a little nod. Then he picked the next one right away. He was a male wolf with completely white fur.
"I have an older brother who bullied me all the time when I was a kid" he began telling us, "Later I found out that he has joined a very powerful criminal clan and was earning his living that way. Since my parents aren't there to take care of us anymore, I thought I would make something better out of my life and become the opposite of my hateful brother…"
"Damn" Nick grinned, "That is a cool lead! Respect, man! You should be proud of yourself"
"Thanks. Glad you appreciate it" he smiled happily, "Means a lot hearing it from you! Oh, and by the way: My brother is sitting in prison now, missing a tooth and lots of his massive ego. Thanks a lot for that by the way!" he added with a little grin.
"You´re very welcome" Nick smiled back with a little wink.
"…anyone else who wants to share their story?" he asked, because nobody seemed to have anything more to add.
But then suddenly another one raised his paws. It was the only male among the three foxes.
"I-I always loved the idea, even as a kid already…" he began lowly, "…but I was told all my life that I was just an untrustworthy fox and could never do something like that in my life. I had given up on that dream a few years ago already… but you know…" he whispered, now even with some tears in his eyes, "…then there was this bunny coming along and showed everybody how wrong they were."
"Aww" I smiled, being very touched by his words.
"…she meets this guy from the parallel-class of my elementary school and makes a police officer out of him as well. And when I saw you on the news for the first time… when I saw how you proved everybody wrong and showed that you can be a hero whatever you´re made of…a day later I quit my job and changed my whole life…" he told us, and everybody kept listening very closely, nobody was interrupting him.
Nick had stood up from Bogo´s chair in the meanwhile and was walking around his desk slowly.
"…today I´m here and the sources of my inspiration are standing right in front of me, live and in person" he finished, just as Nick arrived at his place in the second row. Nick opened up his arms as he arrived him, waited for him to stand up in total disbelief and hugged him carefully, patting his back while doing so.
"This is the best day of my life" he smiled happily, "I can´t believe this is happening…"
"You won´t regret your choice" Nick told him, "I promise it to you personally..."
"…Yeah…" he agreed, "…I know I won't" the other fox grinned unexpectedly, having a superior looking smile on his face from one second to another.
Without giving him the chance to react, he suddenly moved his arm behind Nick´s back and now I saw it: He had an injector in his paw. He rammed it into Nick´s skin with a lot of force and emptied the whole thing with one big push.
"Ouch! What the hell?" Nick asked in shock, just as he was about to release him from his little hug again.
"I´m a good actor, aren't I?" the other guy asked, as he took a step away from him quickly.
Now we all were in high alarm as that other fox let the empty injector drop onto the floor visibly.
"What the hell was that about, what did you…?" Nick asked, just before he stopped in his tracks for a worryingly long moment.
The other red fox didn´t care to explain and just kept on grinning in anticipation.
"What the hell was that guy doing?" I asked myself.
"Oh fuck!" Nick growled suddenly, this time noticeably more aggressive. I noticed how a little shock of rage went through his whole body and his growling became louder. I knew immediately where I had seen that before.
"Nick?" Max asked in fear of his sudden change of mood.
"Wilde, stop that nons…" Bogo tried to say.
"Freaking nighthowlers!" Nick yelled aggressively, "Why would you- FUCK!"
He already gritted his teeth, his eyes went wide, his muscles began flexing and his claws came out.
"Yeah…" the other fox just smiled in superior, "Have fun explaining that to the press, officer Wilde…" he told him low- but distinctively.
He obviously knew what he was doing as it seemed, because he wasn´t scared of what was about to come at all. It looked like he still had everything totally under his control. But a second later it looked like he had underestimated it by a lot, because he couldn´t handle what followed at all. Nick rushed towards him suddenly, landed a massive blow on his face and nearly got him unconscious with that one hit, "You little fucker!" he yelled, and the word ´fury´ was not even enough to describe his appearance right now. Nick lifted the other fox off the ground again and threw him against the wall like he had the weight of a pillow. The impact was so massive that it even ripped the whiteboard off the wall, before he collapsed on the floor and kept on laying there.
Nick on the other hand locked like a bomb that was just about to explode. His rage would stop just there, obviously. I knew exactly what was happening to him, and the dose he got into his system by that injector was huge. A drop of that substance would have been enough easily, but that dose could have been enough to kill him.
"Everybody get out of this room!" I yelled in pure panic, "Get out of here already, this is not a joke!"
Just when I said, Nick turned around again and grabbed the next thing he could throw. It was the wooden table Max was sitting at. He lifted it into the air like it had no weight at all and smashed it onto Bogo´s desk and everything that was on it. Pieces of wood, plastic, shattered glass, ceramic and paper flew through the room and they still kept on staring at him with big eyes. They were too afraid to move because of what they saw.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!" I yelled at them, and now they finally realized it. Nick had already grabbed thing he could destroy, nothing was stopping him anymore. I was surprised that he hadn't attacked somebody else already.
"Wilde, calm down!" Bogo yelled at him, staring in shock at the remaining pieces of his shattered notebook.
"He can´t!" I told him loudly, while I opening the door of this room for the others, "That dose was so big it could kill him!" I yelled, just as Bogo tried the most fatal thing of them all. He went towards the rage-controlled Nick and tried attacking him. Although he was quite a bit taller and heavier than him, he was by far to big and clumsy to even have a chance. Nick jumped into the air, turned around more quickly than I had ever seen it from him before and hit the Chief´s face with a disturbing amount of violence. He barely had missed his eyes, but he drew some huge scratches along his face nevertheless. Bogo just held his bleeding right cheek in fear and pain as he stepped back quickly. All the fleeing mammals stared in shock at the scene, but I still was hesitating on what to do.
Although I would never really try to hurt him or punch him k.o., right now I simply couldn´t. I didn´t even have a tranquilizer with me right now.
Bogo had realized the fatality of the situation as well finally and helped me saving the others now. Nick had lifted up another chair in the meanwhile and smashed it right through a window. The others had stopped in front of the door and blocked the way out, still not able to believe what was happening.
"Get out of here!" Bogo yelled once again to stop them staring already, "Save yourselves and close the fucking door!"
Goddamn that took long to finish! Hope it was worth it though, what do you think? Ready for more?
Hope you have a great summer and a great world-cup, no matter where you live, see you guys later! ;)
