Big thanks to my great buddy and corrector MrShurukan for helping me once again!
Zootopia – Springtime Circumstances
Chapter 44 – Delivery for Mr. Wilde (POV Max Wolfheart)
That motherfucker wasn´t lying. For me as a police officer, this whole day has been one single nightmare. Spencer literally told me where to drive the car and when, he forced me to watch a huge dealership where several smaller drug-dealers received new resources to sell, and he forced me not tell anybody about it. When the last hour of our shift started, we met up with Fangmeyer´s cruiser and he changed car with Anderson, who literally treated me the same as Spencer did before. Fangmeyer got forced into it as well, obviously, the short eye-contact we exchanged told us everything we needed to know.
Precisely at the end of our shifts we all met up in the ZPD garage again. Before we left the car, Anderson suddenly reached an envelope over to me and told me to open it. It was quite a thick envelope, and when I opened it I found not less than 5000 dollars of bare cash in it.
"That´s the beginners-bonus" he told me dryly, "Just keep your mouth shut and the cash keeps on coming. Don´t you dare talk to anybody about this. Just go home, don´t even think about talking to Fangmeyer about it, not today, not on any other day. He has one of the GPS-trackers with him as well by the way. Just go home like nothing happened. Just live your life like nothing happened. Enjoy the extra cash, have a nice dinner …I don't know…fuck your girlfriend maybe…who cares...just keep your mouth shut."
"So, you guys want to listen to my private life as well, huh?" I asked coldly.
"Stop complaining already. I´d fuck her myself if it was necessary. And I will if you mess something up! We just need to make sure you don't tell the other idiots about it. You got me?"
I just nodded with a little sigh, what could I do about it anyways?
I never considered keeping that money, not even for a single second. This was just so wrong. But I didn´t want to get in any trouble for now. I just noticed that Spencer handed the same envelope over to Fangmeyer in the other car and very likely told him the same that Anderson just told me.
"You and Fangmeyer know what to do from now on. You´ll continue with your patrols like it´s always been tomorrow. Howlton and I will do the same."
I nodded again.
"You two got forced into it like that as well?" I asked him plainly, while grabbing the handle of the door already. That wasn´t a question he liked to hear, obviously.
"Have a nice evening, Max" he replied coldly, before he opened the door on his side and left the cruiser.
Daniel and Spencer left the other car as well and we all went on our way to pass the car-keys to the nightshift. Nobody said a word.
But Daniel had a brilliant Idea that I hadn´t even considered before: He signalized me to write it down by hand. He obviously had to wear that microphone on his body as well, and good old pen and paper were the only thing they couldn´t watch us doing. I nodded a little and they didn´t notice that either luckily. I was happy that Daniel thought about this the same way I did. He didn´t want to keep the money either.
We waved everybody goodbye shortly and went home. Nobody said a further word and nobody looked back.
That nice evening with Jennifer I was anticipating for this whole time was messed up anyway. Acting like nothing happened would be close to impossible. Those assholes would get their payback for that, that was for sure. People needed to know about this and they needed to know that as soon as possible.
POV Judy
I had been anticipating for this evening actually. I already liked where the rivalry between Nick and Jack was going and we finally got some detectives work to do again. Nick and I had been investigating this whole afternoon already. We were talking to the Chief, we´ve been talking with some guys from the archives and from the evidence-storage, and although we couldn´t really find any clear leads, we´ve found some quite interesting details. We were pretty sure that what Jack and Skye had told us must also have something to do with the dealership we stopped in the sex bar already, because the lorry they "allegedly" had checked for drugs really got an "ok" to enter the roads of Zootopia back then. And the poky little rest of that truckload was already spread among the dealers before they confiscated it, at least that´s what we were told today. They even showed us pictures of the lorry and the storage hall when they encountered it, but even that smelled like it was faked to the core. We didn´t say anything, but we didn´t believe them either. We just said thank you and took the pictures with us.
"Those photos are nowhere near reality" Jack told us right after taking a short look at them. Skye nodded to support what he said.
"We´ve been in that storage hall two weeks ago. They normally store wood in there" she told us, "…those guys from the lumbermills must get a piece of the cake as well, we saw multiple pallets of several different substances laying around in that hall..."
"We were told by the Chief that they had three police cruisers to secure the evidence…" Nick shared our knowledge, "You really think…"
"Just as we said" Jack explained, "A lot of your colleagues are part of it in the meanwhile…"
"They must make quite some profit from that…" I wondered, "…all of them took an oath to reject and fight against any sort of corruption."
"That doesn´t seem to stop them…" Jack said.
"We need to find out who ´helped´ securing that evidence and we need to talk to them" Nick concluded.
"But I doubt that they will tell you anything as long as you don´t signalize that you want to join in on whatever it is as well" Skye added to that.
Nick still wandered across his living room and shook his head a little. He still wasn´t quite sure about that idea and I could understand him pretty well. That wouldn´t be believable at all.
Jack and Skye still wore their serious and expensive looking black business-suits and sat on his couch in a relaxed pose. I still had my police uniform on me, since I didn´t have anything else with me at Nick´s flat, and Nick wore just some shorts and a muscle shirt. He didn´t care too much about looking serious at home, not even with that sort of guests around.
"I´m not sure…" he mumbled, "I think we shou-"
He got interrupted by the doorbell suddenly.
"Who might that be at this time of day?" I wondered.
Nick just shrugged his shoulders and went towards the phone besides the door of his flat.
"Hello?" he asked softly.
"Nick?" a stressed and out of breath female voice asked through the connection.
"That voice sounds familiar…" he replied warmly.
"It´s Jennifer" she told him hastily, "Can I talk to you guys for a moment please, it´s urgent! Very urgent!"
"Yeah…of course" Nick told her after thinking about shortly. Jack and Skye signalized that the would hide in the kitchen if needed, "Come in, third floor."
"Thank you!" she panted while Nick pressed the button for the door lock.
"Well that sounds interesting" he wondered lowly.
I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Should we leave you alone for a minute?" Skye asked.
I shrugged my shoulders again and waited for Nicks reaction shortly. He waved it off as well, so I guessed it was fine. Just half a minute later she was at the door and Nick opened it for her.
"Oh thank god you´re here!" she panted, "It´s a freaking nightmare!"
"Hey Jenny" Nick greeted her, closing the door behind her smoothly, "…what´s up, what´s a nightmare?"
She had a backpack with her and got it off her back as quickly as possible. I got off the couch as well to greet her quickly. She wasn´t even coming into the living room, although she saw me sitting there.
"Hey Judy!" she greeted me quickly, just as she was about to open the zipper of her backpack.
"Max came home from his shift just as always, but he was barely talking" she explained, "He just showed me this…" she said, as she pulled an envelope out of her backpack and reached it over to Nick, "…and he wrote me these sentences!"
She gave me the piece of paper and let me read.
"Don´t talk about it loudly, I have a mic and a GPS-tracker on me! Howlton and Anderson forced Daniel and I into some shady drug business today! Got this envelope with 5k as a ´bonus´ at the end of our shifts. Dan and I are not supposed to tell anyone! We´re told to just act like everything is normal and we didn´t see any of the deliveries. Drugs and Weapons, huge amounts, nothing of that has ever been registered as evidence! Howlton and Anderson seemed to be forced into it as well, but I´m not sure. Bring this to N&J please, somebody needs to know about this!"
"Holy smokes, Jenny!" Nick told her, "That´s a lot of cash!"
"I know! But why would a police officer do something like that?"
"Something like what exactly?"
"That´s the answer we´ve been searching for! Read this, Nick!" I told him, before I handed him the paper with Max´s handwriting.
"I don´t feel safe anymore!" Jennifer told me lowly while Nick was still reading.
"Did somebody follow you?" I asked her.
"I´m not sure…but I really was worried after reading that! Max showed me the little black box with the microphone and the GPS-tracker inside it. He pointed at his phone and shook his head while doing so, so I believe they have control over that as well…"
"Little fuckers!" Nick grumbled as he finished reading, "So that´s how they did this! No wonder nobody talked about this before!"
"I´m so glad I found you! You´re probably the only ones who can help us!"
"Come follow us into the living room" Nick waved her, "We need to introduce you to somebody!"
POV Agent C4 (Hospital-room 32.6)
My day has been as boring as anything. I woke up this forenoon and now I was just laying here. My right arm was broken and one of my legs had the same issue. Moving was close to impossible right now, I was connected to some tubes and the tv program was just horribly bad. An elderly Zebra lady checked out on my every now and then, but that was all the attention I got for today. Not a sign from my colleagues, nobody seemed to care about me. That was not a nice feeling, but those were the rules of this job, sadly. The only status of our mission I got were the interviews from the news that were shown from time to time, but that was not exactly what I liked to see either. But when the evening slowly arrived, things got a lot more interesting all over sudden.
"Good evening, Mr. …" she wanted to greet me, "Charlie?"
"Good evening" I greeted back with a little smile, "Charlie is fine, thank you."
The nurse that came into my room this time was not a zebra. She was a red vixen and she was quite a looker, even in the dull hospital outfit.
"How are we?" she wanted to know.
"I think that wasn´t my best experience yet…" I chuckled.
"What happened?" she wanted to know. I was pretty sure she knew that already, but I didn´t want this conversation to end just yet. I liked what I saw.
"It seems like I´ve underestimated my mission a little."
"Mission?" she asked in surprise, "Are you an agent or something?"
"Not sure if I´m allowed to tell you more about that" I told her with a mischievous smirk.
"Oh…okay…" she chuckled light-heartedly.
She ticked a few boxes on the sheet of paper she had on her clipboard and walked around me slowly.
"What´s your name, darling?" I asked her while she inspected the cast on my arm and the catheter that was connected to a tank with some transparent liquid in it.
"Uhm…yeah…" she grinned, "Not quite sure if I´m allowed to tell you that…"
"Can I take a guess?" I asked, looking at her a little closer.
"Reading the nametag doesn´t count, sweetheart" she chuckled.
"At least I know your name now" I told her with a cheeky smile.
"So…you just wanted to become a police officer to get close to them?" she asked, and that surprised me a little now.
"Was that in the news as well?"
"No, but have a guess who else was here this morning…" she told me while rising her eyebrows a little.
"…" I sighed shortly, "…alright…how much do you know already?"
"I know that Nick wasn´t even that mad at you this morning. But I still don´t know what the reason for that could have been, else than causing trouble for them once again…"
"That precisely was the reason" I affirmed, "But it wasn´t my idea and I wouldn´t have done this either, but it was my job and I had to do it."
I really didn´t want to get any further into this. That topic had destroyed the slightly better mood I gained when she arrived just as fast as it came. She still was examining my body quite closely, and I also noticed her looking at parts of it that weren´t even injured.
"How much do you weigh?" she asked me then.
"What kind of question is that all over sudden?" I wondered.
"I still wonder how he could throw you against a wall hard enough to break a leg and an arm…" she explained herself.
"This guy is a beast already, injecting night howler´s serum into his back is the most stupid idea you can have basically…" I sighed, "…but as I said, I wouldn´t have done this to anybody if I wasn´t told to…"
"You had to pay for it in the end…"
I just nodded a little.
"Well…it´s not like Nick had a good time with this either, they had to send him back to sleep for a second time because the dose was so high…"
"Is he still here?" I wanted to know.
"No, Judy came to take him home this morning."
"Guess I have to wait for another day to say sorry…"
"Not quite sure if he would come here for that" she grinned, "You probably should wait for your legs to work as they should and get to him for that…"
"Yeah…"
"Sorry" she apologized for that comment.
"It´s alright, Suzy" I chuckled, "Guess I´ve earned that…"
She tucked the pen back onto her clipboard with that and went on her way towards the door.
"I´ll check on you later once again, always let us know if something´s wrong…"
"Thank you. Guess I won´t run away anyways…"
She chuckled a little at that but then she just closed the door behind her.
My grin widened a little when she was gone. I liked where this was going already.
POV Jennifer
"So…what can we do to get Max and Dan out of there?" I asked after Nick had introduced me to Jack and Skye shortly. He gave them the envelope and the piece of paper and let them take a look at it as well.
"They hear every of his words and know his position you said?" Judy asked.
"Yeah. I know just as much as you. He came home and showed me this."
"We need to bring this to the chief first of all…" Judy suggested, "We need lots of support for this, they are by far too powerful meanwhile!"
"We should be careful with telling anyone…" Jack interrupted.
"How do you think that should work? We´re just two bunnies, two foxes, two wolves and a lion! Half of the freaking ZPD seem to be on the dark side all over sudden…"
"No…yes" Jack corrected, "I agree, we need manpower for this, but I wouldn´t be quite so sure about who you could trust and who not…"
Just in that moment the doorbell rang.
Nobody said a word. I felt pretty uncomfortable all over sudden. Without making a noise, Nick went towards his door in the hallway and took the phone of the connection.
"Hello?" he asked.
"…"
"…I didn´t order any pizza, buddy. Have a good evening!" Nick told whoever it was.
"…"
"…no, thank you, not hungry" he said, before he hung the phone back onto its stand.
"Shit" Judy whispered. He nodded.
"Do you think they followed me?" I asked fearfully.
"I don´t know" Nick sighed, "But it shouldn´t be too hard to get into the staircase…"
Judy had her dart-pistol unbuckled in the meanwhile and checked how much ammunition she had left.
"You think they got Max?"
"Calm down, Jennifer" Nick told me lowly.
"5 Shots" Judy informed us, "Got to be thrifty with the ammo…"
"That might be not enough" Jack told us calmly while he opened the black suitcase once again that lay on Nick´s couch-table. He took a black plastic-cover out of it and tossed it to the side. What lay below that plastic-cover were two more dart pistols and two extra magazines.
"That suitcase is cool!" Nick chuckled, "I want one of those as well!"
"Sorry Nick" Jack told him with an ironic little smile while he passed one of the pistols over to the white vixen besides him, "…only the cool people get those…"
"Yeah, sure…" Nick sighed, just as somebody knocked at his door.
"Lot´s of steps in the staircase" Judy whispered, get cover somewhere!"
"Idea!" Nick suddenly told us, before he rushed off into his kitchen quickly.
"Mr. Wilde?" a male voice asked through the door, "Not sure who ordered this pizza, but is says your Name on the box, so…"
"Alright, fiiine" Nick answered with a little sigh, as he began pouring a whole bottle of olive oil in front of his apartment door, "You know what, buddy?" he told him, "Why don't you leave it in front of the door? I´ve just taken a shower and ran out of dry towels…" he lied.
"Oh that´s fine…" the other voice chuckled, "I don´t mind about that too much…" he told Nick chummily, "I guess the SMA can´t look to bad anyways…"
"Seriously" Nick acted a little chuckle, "…leave it in front of the door or have it yourself if you´re hungry…"
"That´s really nice of you…but…you know… I was about to ask for an autograph as well, I´m such a big fan of your work…"
"Oh thank you so much, man!" Nick acted, "So nice of you to say that!"
Nothing happened for a few moments.
"…You found a towel by now?" the other guy asked ironically.
Nick just ignored it and waited for a few seconds.
"Ok, stop this stupid bullshit now! Kick in the fucking door!" some other voice came from the hallway yelled suddenly. Nick got a few steps back slowly, the others prepared to attack as well.
"Idiots" he chuckled at them as the first big hit slammed against the wooden door. The red fox flexed his muscles a little and prepared himself to throw the empty bottle at them. Judy, Jack and Skye had positioned themselves with their guns already and aimed at the door.
"…you know, that was a lot of work to convince me of your bullshit…" Nick told them, as they repeatedly try to crack open his door.
"…but I still would recommend to fuck off and go eat your pizza in a park somewhere…"
Just when he finished saying that the door flew open suddenly and the first wolf rushed his apartment. He slipped on the oil immediately and fell onto the floor very uncomfortably. Nick had thrown the glass bottle in the meanwhile and hit the next one right on the head with it. It shattered on his forehead and knocked him unconscious. But there were many more standing outside the hallway and they all began firing at us blindly. Nick got out of their firing line just in time and the others had to take cover as well.
"Get in there, watch out for the fucking oil!" their leader yelled, just as the first one managed to get back up on his feet again. Nick had dismounted his floor lamp in the meanwhile, swung it like a bat and hit him right on his head with it.
The others still fired darts at us with their guns while trying to jump over the puddle of oil. They really had loads of ammunition and big riffles with them, because neither Judy nor the other two had a chance to fire at them. It was just Nick who took another swing with his lamp, but then he had to start running and hiding as well. A few of the attackers still slipped on the ground, but soon they managed to get into the living room. I pulled my head down and hid behind the sofa again. I was in total panic.
Judy elegantly threw her gun over to Nick who asked her for an idea with a short eye contact. He began firing at the wolves and polar bears slowly and got their attention with that once again. Judy used her speed and rushed into Nick´s kitchen like a lightning, dodging all of their shots luckily.
"This is the revenge for Delilah you bitch!" one of the wolves yelled at Nick, who was now hiding besides me behind the couch I just noticed.
"She has quite a skilled tongue" Nick panted back teasingly, just as he fired his last shot at them.
Now Judy managed to distract a few of them a little with throwing several sharp objects she found in Nick´s kitchen at our enemies´ armoury. Jack and Skye quickly searched for a new place to hide.
"Shut your mouth you little bastard, she´s my sister!" the wolf yelled at Nick, running towards us as quickly as possible. Nick noticed that as well obviously, and before the wolf was able to fire at us again, he stood up and threw the magazine at his face, followed by the gun itself. He stumbled backwards in shock and pain, and before he could even look again Nick had jumped onto the edge of his couch, catapulted himself into the air and slammed his fist into that guys face from above. I wasn´t dreaming, I really saw Nick Wilde take out a wolf with his bare fists.
"Greet your sister from me" the unarmed red fox commented it coldly. There was no need to wait for a reply from him after that attack from Nick.
But that wolf wasn´t the only one who ran towards us. He was followed by another wolf and one of the polar bears who also began firing at him now. But Nick was quick. Quick enough to hide behind that couch again.
Now Jack and Skye finally were able to shoot at them and take them out one by one. A few of them had to reload their guns, so that was an advantage for us as well. But they still kept on coming from the staircase.
"Can you lift me up quickly?" Nick asked me quickly and showed me how to form my paws with his own ones. I nodded in total panic but somehow managed to do just what he wanted. He stepped onto my paws with one of his legs and I helped to catapult him high above our attacker´s heads once again. He did a spin around his own axis in mid air and used that momentum to punch the polar bear into his face. He hit him unconscious as well and grabbed his dart riffle while falling back down onto the floor. They were surrounding the couch from both sides in the meanwhile. Nick fired at the other wolf first, then at the ones who surrounded the couch from the other side. The white vixen and the two bunnies were still busy taking out the other blokes and I already saw myself getting hit by their darts any second. But Nick´s aim was on point. He took out two more of the four guys on the other side. But then his rifle just ran out of ammunition.
"Shit" he yelled as his gun was all out of darts.
But he wasn´t out of ideas yet. Just before the next polar bear tried to aim and shoot at me, Nick threw the rifle against his head with great power and knocked him out as well.
But now it was over. The last of the wolves approached the corner of the couch and aimed his gun at me. Just when he fired I noticed how Nick was throwing himself in front of me and saved me from the dart. The Wolf who fired at me got hit by a dart himself just a second later and collapsed onto the floor just like all the others. Jack had taken him out just in time so he couldn´t shoot any more darts at us.
"That was the last one I believe" Judy panted from another corner of the room, "Is everyone alright?"
"N…Nick got hit by a dart!" I whispered in panic, still staring at the red fox who just saved me.
Judy, Jack and Skye came running towards us to check out on him. But Nick wasn´t even unconscious right now. He wasn´t getting back up onto his feet, but he was still breathing and able to talk, although he hadn´t a lot of power left in his voice.
"Damn…that stuff gets you dizzy" he chuckled weakly.
Judy supported his back and helped him to sit up. Nick removed the dart from his chest that hit him through his white t-shirt and tossed it to the side carelessly.
"That stuff is supposed to take you out" Jack explained in disbelief, "How the hell are you still awake?" he wondered.
I couldn´t believe it either. Nick was like the freaking terminator.
"Pretty cool, huh?" he asked the other bunny with a weak little smile.
"Wow" Judy chuckled while shaking her head, "Those seven shots I took at you must have gotten you quite immune to those darts…"
"A glass of water would be nice" Nick told her, as he took his phone out of his pocket and checked something quickly.
Jack just kept shaking his head in disbelieve and Skye changed the magazine of her pistol once more.
"What do we do now?" I asked after a little moment.
"We cannot stay here" the other bunny told us right away.
"You don't say" Nick chuckled tiredly, just as Judy reached him the glass of water he wanted.
"We need to trace their cars and find out where they came from. I heard a few of them fleeing and calling support…we must leave this place as soon as possible, that´s for sure!"
While Jack was talking Nick had emptied the whole glass in one go and tried to lift himself back up onto his feet right afterwards.
"…we need to…" Jack wanted to continue, but Nick interrupted him.
"No! I´ve just been shot by a tranquilizer, can´t you just shut up for one moment?" he told him. The bunny with the black stripes in his fur didn´t like to hear that, obviously.
"We just saved your lives, Nick!" he told him just as coldly, "You would have been captured and kidnapped if we didn´t assist you with extra firepower…"
"Yeah…fine" Nick sighed, stretching himself a little, "You guys go and trace those assholes down. I go and check out on Max before he gets visited as well."
"That´s not such a bad idea actually" Skye supported him, trying to tame down their argument a little, "They must know that he told somebody meanwhile…"
"Alright, that´s not a bad idea…" Jack agreed with a little sigh.
Nick was still standing. He surely had lost a bit of his kick because of that tranquilizer dart, but he still was standing and able to move.
"Any Ideas where we all could stay for the night?" Judy asked into the room.
"We have to get back to our base" Jack informed us, "We´re going to follow those idiots now without getting noticed and contact you tomorrow again."
"Can you bring us to the ZPD quickly?" Judy asked, "We need a cruiser, some new clothing and some armoury…"
"Yeah, of course" Skye affirmed before her partner could even say anything.
"Alright, let´s go" Nick told us, leading the way out of his living room without further ado. We all followed him.
Unconscious wolves and polar bears were laying around on the floor, tranquilizer darts were everywhere and so was the oil that Nick had spilled in front of his door.
"Well…if that wasn´t a great idea…" Nick sighed, before he went into his bathroom quickly and took a few towels with him. Judy chuckled a little as he tried to build a bridge of towels over the main oil spill for us. It worked out quite well in the end. We all went out of his apartment as quickly as possible and he just carelessly closed the broken door behind him.
"Are you not afraid of somebody stealing something?" I asked him lowly.
"Well…have fun with dragging my stuff over that lake of extra virgin…" he chuckled, "…and our well-being is more important than that old junk right now also…just forget about it, that is all replaceable…"
Jack and Skye aimed their barrels at the entrance of the house as we arrived the last few steps, but nothing was to be heard outside. Nothing was to be seen either, the sidewalks were completely empty.
"Come on" Skye whispered lowly, turning left right after leaving the building.
Just a few feet down the road a fancy black limousine was parked at the sidewalk. Nick, Judy and I went onto the back seats quickly and Jack drove off almost immediately. I felt a little safer already.
POV Nick
"There are like a million buttons and switches on the dash…" I chuckled, "Can I try some of them?"
"You better keep your fingers off my dashboard, Wilde" Jack replied coldly while doing a quick U-turn.
"Is that big red button the self-destruction?"
"That´s the left-rear ejector seat."
"Cool. Is there a massage function available for that seat as well?"
"This is serious, Wilde! We´ve just been attacked by fifteen men with heavy armoury…and you´re just acting like a child!"
"Yeah, and just to remind you: it was my flat that got destroyed during that…"
Judy and certainly Jennifer slipped a little giggle because of that. Although I still felt a little weaker than usually, I still haven't lost my humour and good spirit tonight. I was used to it in the meanwhile.
"I´m sorry, Jacky, but you´re still not my boss…" I continued on our little bickering.
"I am the higher operator in this case. That is a fact…" he replied stubbornly.
"Alrighty, boss…" I chuckled, "You´ll find me in the mystic springs laying on the beach in that case. Guess your fancy equipment, great ideas and tactics, mediocre skills as a leader and impatience will solve this all alone…"
It took him a while to reply anything to that. Judy was quicker than him.
"Nick" she sighed lowly, "Let it be for tonight, okay? That doesn´t really help right now…"
"You better listen to your girlfriend" Jack muttered, just as he brought the car to a halt on the road next to the ZPD building.
I still couldn´t hide a little grin. I just loved annoying him far too much to let it be.
"We´ll contact you tomorrow" Skye told us for the farewell quickly.
"Have a good night, guys" Judy told them equally shortly, "See you tomorrow."
"See ya, 007! Bye Skye!" I said, before I lifted myself out of the car as well and held the door open for Judy.
Skye just sighed with a tired little smirk, Jack ignored it completely.
The second Jennifer closed the door on the other side of the car they pulled away and joined the night traffic on the road once again.
"Goddamn what a night" Jennifer sighed while following us towards the main entrance of the ZPD building.
"We really should get to Max as soon as possible" Judy said, "I just need a few things out of my office quickly…"
3 minutes later
"Hey guys, I think I just got an idea where we could spend the night…" I told them while holding the door to our office open for Judy and Jennifer.
Judy went to our little drawer and packed herself some clothing. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and searched for his contact in the meanwhile.
"You mean the musician?" Judy asked.
I just nodded a little and put him on speaker so they could listen as well:
"Yeah?" he asked after I let it ring for quite a while, and he seemed to be a little out of breath because of something.
"Hey Rico" I greeted him, "I know it´s late but we really need your help…"
"Damn, Nick" he chuckled, "…you and your timing…"
Female giggling was to be heard from the background. Neither I, nor Judy could hide a little grin.
"Sorry champ, wouldn´t interrupt you if it wasn´t urgent…" I chuckled.
Judy smiled a little as well as she heard it. She hadn´t lost all of her humour either after all this.
"Wh-what is it?" he panted.
"Judy and I got ´visited´ by some guys who really want to get rid of us. My apartment is totally destroyed, we barely made it out of there. Two colleagues of mine have an even bigger problem. Our flat´s aren't safe anymore for now, that really is an issue. Can we spend a night in your living room or something? Doesn´t have to be special, I sleep on the floor if needed, but we really need a hideout!"
"Shit, that doesn´t sound too good…yeah, of course you can stay a night!" he told me after explaining the topic to Sarah and Ivonne quickly. They both agreed with it instantly.
"Thanks a lot you guys!" Judy told them.
"Yeah" I agreed, "You really save us again with this!"
"You guys are always welcome" Rico chuckled, still a little out of breath.
"See you in half an hour!" I told them finally.
"Alright, later guys!"
"See you later, sweetheart" we heard Sarah singing in the background excitedly.
Then Rico ended the call.
"Are you really sure that´s ok?" Jennifer asked, "I…I mean Max and I can search a hotel for the night or something…we don´t want to disturb anybody…"
"Jenny, come on!" I calmed her down, "We need to stick together for now and nobody could possibly be disturbed by you guys. And I promise you: Sarah, Ivonne and Rico are the most adorable, relaxed and awesome guys I ever met! They saved us from that snow storm already…"
"Really?"
"Yeah, It´s gonna be fine, don´t worry."
POV Rico
"Goddammit" I sighed, being totally exhausted once again, "We should really get some covers for this couch…"
I was still laying on my back, stained in my own juices and panting for air heavily. Ivonne was laying on top of me and was Sarah massaging my ears gently.
"You´re doing good though, little Rico" Ivonne chuckled in pleasure, "You´re helping quite well against my wet dreams about that red fox from the news…"
"You know you can´t tease me with that?" I grinned back, "…and furthermore…correct me if I´m wrong but who begs me for the knot all the time?"
"I…I was just joking…" she grinned, "I didn´t say anything…"
"I think you should get a little time-out-penalty for a few days…"
"Nonono, I don't!" she chuckled, "You´re very good at that! You´re sooo good, you´re…"
"I like that idea! That leaves more for me" Sarah grinned from above me, "But you´re right, we should get a ´special blanket´ for this couch…"
"Talking about that…we should hit the showers and clean up here…"
"But…but" Sarah complained ironically, "I didn´t even get my turn for today!"
"You´ll get your private session tomorrow" I joked, "…since Ivonne isn´t satisfied with it anymore…"
"Nono…don´t…don´t" she sighed, "…please don't pull it out just yet!"
"Just look at her" Sarah chuckled ironically.
"They will be here in half an hour" I reminded them with a little chuckle.
"You´re sooo good in bed!" Ivonne told me once more with a little smirk, "I don´t think I need a break in the next few days…"
"…oh, you don't? Where does that come from all over sudden I wonder?"
"Who is this Nick guy anyway?" she grinned.
"Nice try."
"Don't be so harsh on her, Rico" Sarah told me with a sneaky grin. I just shook my head with a mischievous little smirk.
"Come on, get moving!" Ivonne chuckled now, "They´ll be here soon! Why aren´t we under the water already?" she asked ironically.
I really loved this shared apartment. I loved it so much since that snowstorm. And tonight, they wanted to visit us again? Because their own flats weren't safe anymore? This could get interesting, that sounded exciting already. Whatever that was about, it featured Nick and Judy, so it was going to be awesome. "Bring it on" I thought to myself, "Bring it on, I´m ready!"
Yeah, I know I´m a tease, but there will be another big dirty chapter eventually.
What do you think? Did you like that chapter? I´d be glad if you let me know in the reviews!
Anyway, hope you all have a fantastic summer! See you later!
