Well hello, my friends. I have another chapter for you today and I hope you enjoy it! Though sadly it will be the only one for a week or so. I'm going on a vacation and I may not be able to post anything during it. So I hope this chapter suffices for now. Enjoy!

Judy sighed as she walked down back down the stairs. The same private security staring her down, most likely looking at her ass. Judy shook off the thought and quickly descended down the rest of the stairs.

Her target for tonight, Jackie Wilson the cheetah, was alone. She was the only mammal here who was apart of Sorrento's operation. She pulled back her cuff and checked her watch and her watch read eight thirty-five. The party doesn't end till eleven and unless she leaves early, Judy and Jackie will get plenty of time to 'bond'.

Judy eyed her through the crowd and saw that the cheetah was finally able to shake off the rich tiger from earlier. He looked aggravated, his pride in his physique and status probably hurt by the simple cheetah's rejection. Judy chuckled as she watched the male tiger angrily storm off, only now recognizing him as a CEO of some aeronautics company.

Judy continued to watch as the cheetah walked away from the stage and towards the bar under the second-floor balcony. She seemed to be irritated and as she rounded around the room and found herself a stool to sit on, Judy smiled.

She's known for her friendly nature and why would a Sorrento thug turn away a friendship from Zootopia most famous public servant. If she got precious information from her, which she never would be able to anyways, it would be a good thing to return to the boss with. Well, that was her thought at least. She and Nick could always just drop by if talking didn't work, but Judy preferred to be let in through the front door than trying to break through it.

"This goddamn party is full of shit if my friend didn't convince me I wouldn't have come to this damn place," Jackie said bitterly as she pulled out her phone.

Judy smiled as she approached the cheetah from her left, her friend obviously being Sorrento. Her ears were down and her tail was slightly twitching. Looks like it's time for Judy to make a friend.

"Not your type of party," I asked inquisitively

The cheetah looked towards Judy but it took her a second to look down. She raised a brow in surprise at Judy and easily sized her up, the suit probably confusing her. She examined me for several more seconds before looking away from the bunny, looking just as irritated.

"Hey waiter, get me a scotch" she yelled out to the deer behind the counter.

Judy frowned at her response and didn't waste any time as she easily jumped up to the seat next to her. The deer slid the scotch down the table to her and she didn't hesitate to grab it and down several mouthfuls of it. She didn't look back over at Judy and she seemed to be trying to ignore her.

"Surely I'm not that hard to talk to, my name is J-"

"Judy Hopps. I know who you are bunny" She interrupted with a sneer.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk for a little bit,? This is a party after all." Judy asked again, a hopeful smile on her face.

The cheetah glanced back over at Judy with a glare in her eyes "Positive" she stated firmly.

"I'll buy you A drink," Judy asked with persistence.

The cheetah's glare only hardened "Beat it bunny" she said in a dangerously low tone.

The bartender stopped in response and several other patrons glanced over at the two as well, a slightly tense atmosphere in the air. Judy let her smile fall for a second before smiling again, her demeanor mostly unchanged.

"Alright alright, I know when to take a hint. Have a good night" Judy said cheerfully to the cheetah.

The cheetah almost growled and as she hopped off her chair, Jackie eyeing her in the back until she reached the stairs. She walked a few steps up them and made sure she was out of view from the cheetah before leaning against the railing. She let her friendly demeanor fall and let her more serious one take hold, alternative plans for later tonight moving through her mind since this approach didn't work.

Sadly, they all meant breaking down the door.

_Nick_

Nick smiled dumbly as he placed a few documents into his inside coat pocket, most of them pictures of the target. He looked around and noticed that it was mostly empty, most of the sound coming from the musicians and dozens of guests downstairs. He got up with a huff, rubbing his still hurt side as he made his way to the balcony railing looking over everything.

Judy's attempt to talk to the cheetah is most likely going to fail, she already looked aggravated and annoyed enough. For all Nick knew, simply going to talk to her could tip her off, but Judy is a talkative and friendly bunny in public so we shouldn't have to worry. He looked over the crowd and leaned against the railing, buffalo butt and the Lionheart standing out most prominently in the sea of mammals.

"So I'm not the only fox in this place" a feminine voice stated playfully behind me.

He raised a brow at the voice and turned around, his eyes widening somewhat at the sight of a snow white fox, or an arctic fox to be precise. She was wearing a stunning crystal blue dress that went down to her ankles, going well with her eyes. Her fur was beautifully combed and her tail looked as poofy as his.

He smiled slyly and leaned back against the railing "If I wasn't a hitched mammal, it would be love at first sight" he said slyly.

The female fox rose a brow at his comment and placed a paw on her hip. She stared at Nick for a few more seconds and he began to wonder if the comment offended her when she suddenly smiled.

"Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Wilde," she said respectfully.

I raised a brow again "Do I know you?" I asked inquisitively.

"No, but I know you. Name's Skye, FBI" she said with a smile as she pulled out her badge from somewhere and flashed it to him.

Nick kept a straight face and his breath the same as he examined her badge, his mind blowing up in a fury of worry and the slightest amount of panic. He looked away from her badge and smiled as she smiled back at him.

"What can I help you with Skye? A dance? A drink?" he asked as she stepped forward and leaned against the railing herself.

"Just a few questions then I'll be out of your hair," she said seriously, her smile fading quickly.

My own smile faded as well and I leaned back forward and stood up straight as she leaned against the railing. He thought over his options, he could push him over the edge but that would most likely just hurt her. There was also eyes everywhere and with the FBI here as well, he couldn't do anything.

"Shot," I said with a fake smile.

"Have you seen any… shady behavior in your department officer Wilde?" she asked as she kept her eyes on the crowd.

Nick sighed internally, the mere mention of shady behavior making him uneasy.

"Shady behavior? Most of the mammals in the precinct still see me as the untrustworthy and/or most likely to be the bad cop. So whenever I'm around them they try and out do me" he said truthfully, the glares from Mchorn and others flashing through his head.

Skye's head dipped down slightly, most likely due to the mention of their shared hardship. Skye pushed off from the railing and turned to me. Her face was more serious and as she stared him down he slipped his hands into his pockets.

"If you mean dirty cop behavior, I've seen none of it. The chief is exemplary and other than what I said before, everyone is clean. Though if they are dirty, they probably wouldn't invite me given who my partner is" he said with a slight smile.

Skye stayed quiet after that, but she still wore her serious look like a glove. I looked back down at the crowd, immediately spotting Judy talking to Lionheart. She looked to be enjoying herself but even from this distance, Nick could spot the small irritated twitch in her ears. He looked back to Skye and she was still staring at him.

"You go to the chief with this yet?" he asked as he tapped the camera button on the back of his phone.

"No, and you won't either. This is a classified investigation and we've only come to you because we're close and because we may need your assistance" she stated seriously.

"Ah, well then my lips are sealed," I said with a smile, pretending to zip my mouth shut.

"Good, and don't tell your mate either. She is not privy to this information." Skye said suddenly, actually surprising him a little bit.

Skye stepped forward with a card in her hand, her number, and fax under the oh so familiar FBI logo.

"We'll give you a call when we require your assistance officer Wilde. Have a good night" She said with a smile.

Nick smiled back as he grabbed the card from her hand "You as well Skye" he said politely.

She nodded her head and turned away. A glare forming on Nick's face as she walked away. He kept his eyes on her as she made her way to the stairs, her tail annoyingly swaying from side to side. She took her time to make it to the stairs and when she finally disappeared into the stairwell Nick quickly looked out to the crowd again. His eyes quickly landing on Judy who was looking right back at him.

Well, what do you think? Was it good? Bad? Is my grammar utterly terrible? Let me know in a review and have a good day!
