Hello my friends its been a little bit, doing good? Well I hope so because now I have another chapter for you. This is a short chapter, but I plan to make the next one much longer and with even more "unlikable" actions and horrendous villainy. *Wink wink guy wink wink*
Enjoy!
"-OMG Judy!" Clawhauser yelled.
I slowly sipped on my coffee as I walked away from the front desk and towards the bullpen. Judy was staying back with Clawhauser for some unknown reason and since I have no desire to deal with his above cheery attitude this early in the morning, I'm moving on. Though I guess I can't blame the guy for his attituted with all the sweats he eats; oh wait, I can.
I rounded the corner and frowned as I heard the word cute echo from the fat cheetahs mouth. Thanks to that cheetah I begin to realize why bunnies find that word annoying, given he says it any time we're around him. If it was up to me, I would have cut out his tounge already, but sadly I'm a cop. So as long as I am an 'officer of the law' I can't commit any harm unless I feel threatened.
"I'll just steal his donuts... that should do it right?" I asked myself with a lazy chuckle.
I shook my head at my own lame joke and focused back on my objective. Precinct 1 held a small portion of their records in small room that wasn't by the boiler in the basement. It was mostly current stuff; but it never hurt to look, especially when it concerned our little ocelot friend named Mary.
The door to records was just up ahead and I was about to reach for the handle when it suddenly opened a crack.
"Did you hear about the FBI agent coming in yesterday?" my ears shot up at the question, but I kept my cool and kept on walking past the door.
I glanced back behind me as I passed the voices and the crack in the door to records shutting in an instant.
I would have stopped and asked questions about it, but regarding my last encounter with that white fox at the party, I decided against it. If they have us under watch, asking questions about the FBI would only confirm their suspicion, and judging by how they slammed that door shut, it's hush hush. So it has to come to me or Judy naturally. Whether that be through helping them investigate or going on the run.
"Already so much going on," I said tiredly as I walked down the hall towards the bullpen.
I stopped in front of the door to the bullpen, content on sipping a little more coffee in my last fleeting moments of peace.
I must have stood there for too long because Buffalo Butt seemed to see me through the shaded glass "Get in here Wilde!" he yelled.
I jump slight and almost dropped my coffee, my peace is now gone and my annoyance with Bogo reaching normal levels once again. I pushed the door open and walked into a room that was half full, me and Judy were 15 minutes early for roll call and it looks like Bogo decided to come in earlier too. My familiar smile graced my lips and I walked over to my seat, Bogo's eyes on me the whole time.
"You came in early to finish those inspirational greeting cards right?" I asked as I pulled my seat out, Bogo letting out an irritated huff at the old joke.
A few others chuckled around me, but it quickly quieted back down as I jumped up to my seat.
"Clawhauser caught Judy?" Fangmire asked to my right, one of the few friendly cops in this damn place.
I looked over at him and nodded with a smile "wrapped in his puffy paws" I said dramatically with a clenched fist..
_Judy_
"I still can't believe you two got together! I mean, you were already a cute pair before but now it's almost unbearable." Ben said in his usual excited voice.
I nodded with a chuckle and looked down towards the hallway to the bullpen, Nick's tail disappeared behind the corner. A small portion of records was down that hallway so he should have 10 minutes or so to look around it if no one else is in there.
"Well you better get going to roll call, Bogo came in early today," Ben said with a smile.
I raised a brow and looked back up at Ben "Really? I thought Bogo liked sleeping in when he could?" I asked with curiosity.
"He only comes in early when something important is going on," Ben said as he eyed a donut on the table in front.
"Important huh?" I said to myself as I looked up to Bogo's office three floors up.
"Yeah, something about the FBI or something… " Ben said carelessly.
I had to resist the urge to smile too much as I looked back up at Ben, his face currently neck deep in a donut.
Disgusting.
"Well I'll see you later Ben, don't go too crazy with that donut," I said with a fake smile before walking away.
A small shiver went down my back as heard him eating away, the sheer vulgarity of it making me want to puke. The guy is already three hundred pounds plus and he eats a pack of donuts a day, it's a miracle he hasn't had a heart attack yet.
I glanced back at him and immediately looked away as he pulled out another donut, unwilling to look at the disgusting scene. The only reason I put up with it is that he is the 'gossip king' of precinct 1 and sometimes tips me off about things I normally wouldn't hear about, like how the FBI is here, which means Skye may be here as well.
I rounded the corner and immediately noticed the records room was occupied, my ears easily picking up a conversation between two mammals.
"To the bullpen then," I said quietly to myself, a little bit irritated by the small delay.
"Officer Hopps?" someone asked from behind me, an unfamiliar female voice.
I stopped in my tracks and turned around, immediately having to stop a glare from forming on my face as I realized who it was. A thin but muscular female arctic fox in a nice suit stood in front me, her picture in her file I created on her instantly popping up in my mind. As well as Nick's story about how he talked to an FBI agent at the party.
Skye.
"Yes, Ma'am?" I asked, making it look like I didn't recognize her.
Her analyzing blue eyes looked me over as a slight chill went down my spine, her suit and stance giving off an aura of authority that few can effectively give off with a skirt. Let's just hope I don't have to run because it looks like she means business.
She reached into her coat jacket and pulled out a badge "Agent Skye Savage, FBI" she introduced.
My eyes widened in fake surprise, time to put on the act.
"The FBI!" I said with enthusiasm and a wide smile, she nodded with a smile.
"Yes yes, I'm Judy Hopps!" I said giddily.
She seemed amused by my little display, but given that I'm publicly known to 'love' law enforcement and the system, she didn't look too surprised.
"I'm gonna need you to come with me to Bogo's office, there's some business we need to discuss" Skye explained as she walked around me.
"What business?" I asked with curiosity and concern, my ears going down ever so slightly.
"An investigation is in progress concerning one of the crime families, we're gonna need your help," She said as she turned back around to me with a bright smile on her face.
Shit!
"Really!?" I said with interest.
"Yes, now come on, we have much to discuss," she said with a wave as walked back the way I came, away from Nick.
I looked back down the hall towards the bullpen with a little worry, being careful not to lower my ears. Hoping to the gods that this wasn't some trick and I wouldn't have to go on the run.
I glanced back at Skye, quickly following after her - but at a distance.
_Mr Big's estate_
"Mr. Big I believe I've found a lead concerning Mary," said the voice of Andrew, sounding a little more confident through the speakers, a cocky smile on his face.
The room the two were in was dark, one of the basement rooms in the mansion used for - nefarious purposes.
"Daughter, what do you think we should do?" whispered the voice of Mr. Big, the computer screen lighting both him and Fru Fru up in the dark room.
Her breath was slightly ragged and her frame was slightly hunched over due to lack of sleep, though intentionally keeping her gaze away from the screen.
"Kozlov and I were able to locate a friend of Mary who still lives in Zootopia, surprisingly, she never deleted her facebook and these two were in the same pictures frequently" Andrew explained
"Where is this friend of hers?" Mr. Big asked calmly, keeping a comforting hand on his daughter's shoulder.
"Happy Town. His name is Peter Schultz, a raccoon. He hasn't had an address for the past year and is mostly seen in the northern side of the Happy Town in ragged clothing. Most likely homeless." Andrew explained.
"Hmm… " Mr. Big hummed, thinking over the situation.
Fru Fru finally looked up at the screen, a hard look in her eye.
"Bring him here" Fru Fru ordered.
Mr. Big looked over at his daughter, surprised to see a side of Fru Fru that he rarely gets to see. A side that he has been trying to draw out for many years - the side that would succeed him.
Mr. Big smiled proudly "Andrew, inform Judy and Nick of their new assignment. However, if they are preoccupied with the feds, have Kozlov deal with him." he ordered, remembering their possible predicament.
"Yes, sir. In what "state do you want him delivered?" Andrew asked wit.
"Damaged." Fru Fru said with venom in her throat.
Andrew's smile seemed to widen at her words, his own bloodlust for those responsible for his niece's death briefly showing through his usually calm and arrogant face.
"Yes ma'am," he said with a dark chuckle.
Hello my friends, how was the chapter? Was it any good? Bad? Fantastic? Terrible? Was it to fast or rushed? Be sure to let me know in a review or a PM or I'll never know what my audience thinks or wants from this little story of mine with bad grammar.
Though if anything, I hope you like how Nick and Judy are progressing so far since they're technically the bad guys.
Well that's it from me and I hope you all have a good day!
