He's back...its...
Chapter 23
"Are you coming back in with Ben and Nick Judy? There won't be any blueberry pie left by the time...is that Ben?" The grey furred and green eyed rabbit that was Jerry questioned as he looked at the fearful faces of both Nick and Judy who were looking toward the now savage and crazed looking Ben.
"Jerry...you need to slowly make your way...back into the café...don't make any fast movements just slowly make your way back." Judy whispered in fear as she continued to keep her purple eyes fixed on the auburn red furred and leaf green eyed fox that was Ben as said fox continued to growl menacingly toward both Nick and Judy.
"OK...I'm gonna do just that..." Jerry said as he began to slowly back up into the café whilst Judy quickly glanced toward her brother with the worried and fearful look still adjourning her grey furred face as she quickly mouthed the words "Hurry" to Jerry.
"Ben...listen If you can hear me...I want to help you..." Nick said in a calm but cautious tone of voice as said fox took a small step forward which only caused Ben to growl more as said foxes attention was now focused solely on Nick as he took another step forward.
"I...don't know who did this to you...or if you can hear me...but you have to fight it Ben..." Nick said as he quickly looked toward Judy before motioning his head toward the cafes entrance which was just behind said grey furred rabbit in an attempt to signal Judy to get into a safe area.
Upon seeing Nicks signal Judy nodded her head slowly at said fox as her bright purple eyes quickly went from Nick to Ben only to see that Bens attention wasn't focused on Judy at all but instead solely on Nick as Ben continued to growl loudly at the fearful looking Nick.
Nick closed his grass green eyes briefly as he took a deep breathe in before said fox began to glare at Ben eye to eye as the fearful look that was plastered on his face not a few seconds ago was turned to one of confidence and hope as Nick began to approach the still growling Ben.
After just three steps forward Nick was practically in front of the savage auburn furred fox that was Ben as said fox bared his teeth at Nick whilst his ears flattened to the back of his head in an aggressive stance and manner.
Nick took another deep breathe in as he looked upon the growling savage fox that was Ben before Nick began to reach out his black furred paw towards Ben at a painstakingly slow pace as not to startle the savage fox.
"I just want to help you Ben...please let me help you." Nick said as he was within touching distance of Ben with his right black furred paw outstretched whilst Ben on the other paw began to cease his growling as his ears slowly began to rise to the top of his head in a more curious manner than an aggressive one as he stared at Nicks outstretched paw.
Nick watched in hope and slight amazement as the once savage and aggressive fox that was Ben began to step back away from Nick as said fox watched as Bens demeanour completely changed from an aggressive manner to curiosity as he began to slowly re approach Nick with a nervous but curious look in his leaf green eyes.
Nick continued to watch in awe as Ben began to sniff Nicks outstretched black furred paw in curiosity which caused Nick to nervously chuckle as he continued to look on as Ben continued to sniff his paw... before said foxes head was suddenly smashed by a fast swinging baseball bat which rendered Ben unconscious on the sidewalks concrete ground.
"Phew...that was a close one Nick...I guess you owe me one for saving you." The tired but strong familiar voice of Finnick said as Nick looked at the unconscious form of his brother in shock and anger as he began to clench his black furred paws tightly before Finnick began to speak again.
"You know Nick I'm surprised you didn't take him out yourself. I mean being a cop and all I would have expected you to know how to take a mammal down safely." Finnick said whilst Nick on the other paw began to growl slightly which Finnick in turn didn't notice as he continued to speak in a confident and proud tone of voice.
"So moving on who is this fox?" Finnick said as said fox finally noticed that Nick was growling rather loudly whilst glaring daggers toward the light furred and hazel eyed fennec fox.
"Why are you so angry Nick? I just saved you from that savage fox. It's not like you knew him or anyth...oh...shit." Finnick said as he noticed the familiar clothes that the unconscious fox was wearing as it finally clicked in his head who said fennec fox had just knocked out as he slowly looked back up at Nick with his large pale brown ears folded against the back of his head.
Nick just glared at Finnick with is green eyes as he continued to clench both his black furred paws tighter and tighter in anger before he began to approach Finnick with a menacingly cold look plastered on his auburn furred face.
When Nick was in reach of the scared looking fennec fox that was Finnick he immediately lunged forward with his right black furred paw as he grabbed onto the collar of Finnicks black button up t shirt before lifting the fennec fox up so that said fennecs eyes were looking directly at Nicks own.
"Nick...I didn't know it was Ben I swear...I mean me and him were only just recently conning together." Finnick said with a joking smile which only seemed to anger Nick more as said auburn furred fox growled menacingly at Finnick.
"How many times have I told you Finnick. If I catch you conning mammals again then I will arrest you. Especially if your conning mammals with my brother." Nick said as he inched his face closer and closer to Finnicks in an attempt to get his point across to the small scared looking con fox.
"I don't know how Ben got into being a con mammal but I will not let him continue down that road. I won't let him become our species stereotype." Nick said in a loud and affirmative voice as he let go of his grasp on Finnicks shirt collar which caused said fennec fox to drop to the concrete pavement.
After hitting the ground with a yelp Finnick took a few seconds to regain his composure before said fox picked himself up off of the floor before he glared at the still cold looking expression that adjourned Nicks face.
"You...you think that because you made it out of our stereotype that every fox can do the same? That's foolish Nick...it's impossible for some of us to change just like that." Finnick said in anger as he dusted some dirt off of his shirt that he had picked up from the pavement before said fennec fox glared at Nick with his hazel eyes before he began to speak again continuing his aggressive tone of voice.
"I thought you understood that Nick. We can't all change how we feel about ourselves and how society portrays us. Why do you think I dress up as a child to con mammals Nick?" Finnick asked the still glaring green eyed and auburn furred fox that was Nick whilst Finnick on the other paw continued to glare at said fox in anger.
"I do it because almost every day some mammal mistakes me for a child. And how can I help that? I'm a fennec fox Nick I've always been small so I turned a disadvantage of mine into an advantage. And I don't care what you think Nick but how can I change what mammals think about me like you did in such a short amount of time. I cant." Finnick said as he looked down at the floor as he lost his aggressive tone of voice towards the end of his rant at Nick.
Before Nick could respond to Finnicks rant said fox turned his head towards the cafes entrance as the huge light grey furred and hazel eyed buffalo that was Bogo stormed out of the café as his huge eyes settled on both Nick and Finnick before said buffalo began to make his way over to the two foxes.
"Finnick I know how hard it is to change yourself for the better and trust me when I say it's worth it. But you had better scamper off before Bogo gets here." Nick said as he turned away from the advancing form of Bogo before turning his auburn furred head toward Finnick as he gave said fox a cold calculated stare which caused Finnick to step back slightly.
"You've changed Nick...but you can't keep Ben from making his own decisions. I won't stop him if he wants to do some cons with me and I'm sure even if he did he wouldn't tell you. Unlike you he may still understand how I feel about our kind and how hard it is to change." Finnick said in a spiteful and aggressive tone of voice as said fox gave the oncoming buffalo that was Bogo a hateful glare as well as Nick before he ran off away down the street in a hurry with his bat in paw.
"Who was that fox Wilde?" Bog questioned Nick as said Buffalos eyes watched as the smaller fox that Nick was just with scampered off down the pavement with a baseball bat in his right paw.
"And why is he carrying a baseball bat in the middle of the day?" Bogo questioned Nick as said fox let out a frustrated sigh before he pointed his right black furred paw being himself to where Ben was still lying unconscious on the pavement.
"What are you pointing at Wilde...oh...what happened to Ben? Did he fall flat on his face again." Bogo said as he gazed down at the unconscious fox that lay unmoving on the hard concrete pavement whilst Nick on the other paw turned to face Bogo with a menacing and cold look plastered on his auburn furred face which caught Bogo completely off guard.
"Chief it may humour you to know but the fox on the floor right there is my brother." Nick said as he began to advance on Bogo with the same cold and menacing look still present on his face whilst Bogo raised his eyebrows up in surprise as Nick stopped his advance just a few feet away from Bogo before he began to speak again.
"And even if your my chief I will not let you insult a member of my family let alone my brother when he has just been assaulted by a mammal with a baseball bat right under your nose." Nick said as Bogo let out a small huff before said huff turned into a chuckle before the big light grey furred and hazel eyed buffalo that was Bogo began to laugh much to the confusion of Nick.
After a half a few seconds of laughing Bogo began to calm himself down before said buffalo brought his attention back toward Nick who was looking at Bogo in utter confusion as Bogo began to talk.
"Wow. So you actually can talk back to me in my presence then Wilde. I thought that it was only a one-time thing for you and that only officer Hopps had the potential and the bravado to do it." Bogo said as he approached Nick before patting said shocked looking fox on the back in a reassuring and impressed way.
"I understand that the joke I just made was a bad decision and I'm glad that your sticking up for a close member of your family." Bogo said before his demeanour changed completely from happy to serious as said buffalo looked down at the unconscious auburn furred and leaf green eyed fox that lay motionless on the hard concrete ground.
"I think Its best if we get your brother to a hospital Wilde just to make sure he's alright. By the look of things the baseball bat that hit him must have been swung with some force to knock him out cold." Bogo said in a concerned tone of voice which surprised Nick as said fox began to nod his auburn furred head in answer.
"But before we do that Wilde did you see who nocked Ben out? All I could tell was that the perpetrator was a small fox of sorts." Bogo questioned Nick to which said fox growled slightly before shaking his head quickly from side to side.
"Are you sure? This is a serious matter." Bogo said once again whilst Nick turned to the direction that Finnick had run off in before he let out a brief sigh before said fox turned back around to face Bogo.
"Sorry chief. I didn't know the offender. If I did then I wouldn't withhold information from you chief." Nick said in a slightly regretful tone of voice as Bogo nodded his huge head in answer before said buffalo knelt down to where the unconscious form of Ben was lying as Bogo began to inspect Bens body over for any more injuries other than his head.
"Also chief I'm not sure if Judy told you...but...Ben went savage before he was knocked out." Nick said as he gazed down sadly at his unconscious brother whilst Bogo on the other paw began to stand back up off of his knelt position before looking at Nick with a small smile.
"Don't worry Wilde. Officer Hopps informed me of the details when she came in to get me." Bogo said before he let out a brief chuckle before speaking again in his strong and gruff voice.
"I guess the perpetrator in some ways saved you from being attacked by Ben." Bogo said in humour to which Nick shook his head in answer to Bogo's joke before said fox began to speak in a serious tone of voice.
"He didn't save me chief. I don't know why...but Ben didn't attack me...or Judy for that matter. He just growled and whined at us...but he didn't attack." Nick said to which Bogo let out a confused sigh as he put his right giant hoof to his chin in thought of the matter.
Bogo's train of thought was interrupted as the doors to café opened again as Judy, Jerry and Ryan all made their way out of the cafes main door and toward Bogo and Nick.
"Chief is Nick Ok?" Judy questioned as she quickly made her way toward Bogo before said rabbits bright purple eyes settled on the surprised looking face of Nick which mirrored the same expression that Bogo was wearing.
"Hopps I thought I told you to wait inside with the others not bring them all out here." Bogo said with a hint of anger and annoyance to his voice whilst Judy on the other paw chuckled nervously as her long grey furred and black tipped ears folded down against the back of her head.
"Don't be so stuck up Bogo. Judy was only worried." Ryan said as said whit furred and blue eyed wolf made finally reached both Bogo, Nick and Judy whilst Jerry on the other paw bounded straight up to the unconscious form of Ben.
"Whoa what happened to Ben?" Jerry questioned out loud which caught the attention of both Ryan and Judy who looked toward where Jerry was knelt down as said rabbit began to poke at Bens unconscious body.
"What happened?" Judy said in shock as she looked toward Nick and Bogo whilst Ryan made his way to Jerry before he too began to look at Bens unconscious form in more detail.
"Ben was knocked out by a baseball bat not long after you left." Nick said to Judy as said rabbit looked at Bens unconscious body in sadness before she began to speak in a low tone of voice.
"I should have stayed with you Nick...maybe then.." Judy said before she was cut off by Nick who made his way over to the saddened grey furred rabbit before he wrapped his auburn furred arms around Judy in a comforting hug to which Judy accepted almost instantly.
"It's not your fault Judy and I'm just glad that your safe. Besides I'm sure that Bens going to be fine. He's much tougher than he looks." Nick said to which Judy nodded her head as the two of them separated from the hug before Bogo began to speak up which gained everyone's attention.
"Alright then enough talking. Me and Wilde will take Ben to the hospital but I want you to stay here Judy to scan the area for a small fox in the possession of baseball bat. The suspect in question might be hostile Hopps so be cautious and keep safe." Bogo said as he briefly pointed in the direction he wanted Judy to search to which Judy saluted before she turned to face Nick.
"Don't worry Nick. I'll catch whoever did this to Ben and I'll make sure they get a well-earned trip to jail." Judy said in confidence and determination as said rabbit began to make her way toward where Bogo had pointed in the direction to check.
"Judy wait." Nick yelled to which Judy stopped in her tracks before she turned around coming face to face with Nick as said fox gazed at Judy with a serious expression adjourning his auburn furred face.
"What is it Nick?" Judy questioned the concerned looking auburn furred fox that was Nick whilst said fox brought his muzzle up to Judy's ear before whispering.
"Finnick did it Judy. But trust me. I've already talked to him and we won't be seeing him for a while. Just...don't go looking for him please. He's in a really unstable mood." Nick said as he brought his muzzle away from the surprised and slightly shocked looking face of Judy as said rabbit slowly began to nod her head before speaking in a low and soft tone of voice.
"Alright Nick...I trust you...make sure that Ben gets to the hospital. Ring me when you get there OK Nick." Judy said to which Nick nodded his head before Judy quickly jumped up to Nicks face giving Nick a quick kiss on the cheek before she began to run off in Bogo's given direction.
"Sly bunny." Nick said in shock as he put his right black furred paw up to the cheek that Judy kissed.
"What about me and Jerry Bogo?" The strong and deep voice of Ryan said as both Bogo and Nick turned around to face both Ryan and Jerry who had determined expressions on their faces as they waited for Bogo to answer.
"Well I think that well be OK without you two for now. No offence or anything but Its best if we handle the situation from here." Bogo said as Ryan's ears began to fall against his head in slight sadness whilst Jerry on the other paw grumbled slightly in frustration.
"Thanks for asking anyway you two. Besides I overheard you and Hopps speaking Jerry. Don't you have a trip to plan?" Bogo said to which Jerry nodded his head as he looked toward the direction in which Judy had gone off in before said rabbit let out a tired sigh.
"You had best go on after her Jerry. She's the fastest officer I know." Bogo said as he gestured at the direction that Judy had gone in whilst Jerry stared at the big grey furred buffalo in surprise.
"But I thought you said that you didn't want me or Ryan to get involved in this?" Jerry questioned Bogo in surprise whilst said grey furred and hazel eyed buffalo folded his arms over his chest before chuckling.
"I'll let it slide this time alright. I know how hard planning things can be but you had better hurry up. Hopps is the fastest officer I know." Bogo said as he smiled at the nodding Jerry as said rabbit took off after his sister.
"Well Bogo buddy I guess I'll see you around." The strong and friendly voice of Ryan said as Bogo turned to face the white furred and blue eyed wolf which was his long-time friend.
"You know my offer still stands Ryan. It would be great to have you around the precinct again. That and you could teach some of the younger officers a lesson or two." Bogo said in a joking tone of voice as he smiled at Ryan in hope before Bogo's smile began to fade slightly as said wolf shook his head.
"Sorry Bogo it sounds nice but the garage has been really busy at the moment so I'm not sure If I can." Ryan said to which Bogo sighed in slight sadness as he nodded his head in understanding.
"But hey you never know. I might change my mind at a later date. Later chief." Ryan jokingly said to which Bogo chuckled as said wolf gave the grey furred buffalo that was Bogo a brief salute before he began to head off down the street.
"I didn't know you could be so...normal chief." Nick said before said auburn furred and green eyed fox let out a frustrated groan as he put his right black furred paw to his head as said fox looked down at his unconscious brothers body.
"I can't believe I just said that. I literally quoted what Ben said to me and Judy." Nick said in both an annoyed tone of voice and a regretful one as Nick felt a tap on his shoulder before he turned his head coming almost muzzle to muzzle with Bogo.
"Bloody hell chief..." Nick said as he nearly fell over onto the concrete pavement due Bogo's sudden close proximity to said fox.
"Stop mucking around Wilde and start calling for an ambulance. I think your brothers been waiting long enough on the floor for us." Bogo said as the grey furred buffalo watched in slight amusement as Nick tried to regain from his shock as he placed his paws over his heart before breathing heavily.
After a few moments Nick had finally calmed down enough to pull out his phone from his beige trouser pocket before he began to dial 911.
"Hello this is Officer Nick Wilde. I'm here with the chief Bogo of the ZPD. We need an ambulance at cats café down on south paw street as there is a mammal out cold on the sidewalk." Nick said whilst Bogo on the other paw began to inspect Bens unconscious body once again before he let out a small sigh as said buffalo noticed the distinctive mark that was often left by the impact of a night howler pellet.
"Remember to mention that Ben was hit by a night howler pellet Wilde. We don't want him waking up savage in the middle of a moving ambulance now do we." Bogo said as he stood back up before looking toward Nick with his big hazel eyes whilst Nick on the other paw nodded.
"Sorry if you didn't just hear that but the mammal in need of the ambulance has been hit with the night howler serum so...err...bring the vaccine and a lot of sedatives." Nick said as he ended the call before pocketing his phone into his beige coloured trousers before both himself and Bogo began to wait for the arrival of the ambulance.
"Wait up Judy. You're going too fast." Judy heard the tired voice of Jerry yell as Judy stopped dead in her tracks before she turned around coming face to face with the grey furred and black pawed rabbit that was Jerry.
"Jerry? What are you doing here?" Judy said in both surprise and slight anger as she put her right grey furred paw on her hip in a questioning stance as she continued to glare at Jerry with her bright purple eyes.
"We...phew...we still need to discuss the trip to Bunnyburrow Judy." Jerry said as Judy continued to look at her brother with a questioning glance before she began to speak in an understanding and friendly tone of voice.
"Yeah your right Jerry and to be honest I'm pretty much done searching for the offender." Judy said whilst Jerry on the other paw gave Judy a confused and serious look as he began to speak in a concerned tone of voice.
"You can't be done searching already Judy. I'm pretty sure that five minutes of looking for a mammal isn't good enough. Especially on a mammal you know." Jerry said as he continued to look at Judy questioningly with his green eyes which clashed with Judy's bright purple ones as Judy's expression began to turn into slight anger from her previous questioning look.
"Listen Jerry I've done what Bogo wanted of me. I've searched the area for the culprit but I couldn't find him or anything that could be connected to him alright." Judy said with finality as she stepped forward in an aggressive manner to face her brother who continued to stare at her with the same questioning look.
"Right...I don't believe you Judy." Jerry said unmoving from his position whilst Judy on the other paw let out a frustrated sigh as she took a step back away from her brother before said rabbit began to speak in an irritated tone of voice.
"Well you don't have to believe me. I'm the officer here and when I say I've looked I've looked OK." Judy said before folding her small grey furred arms over her chest before looking away in annoyance which caused Jerry to start laughing.
"What's so funny Jerry?" Judy questioned the laughing grey furred and green eyed rabbit that was Jerry as said rabbit ceased his laughter before he looked at Judy with a warm and caring expression on his face.
"Oh Judy. Your acting the same way you did when I questioned you on a police fact on your fourteenth birthday which If I remember was a correct fact." Jerry said as Judy on the other paw grumbled to herself before she looked Jerry directly in the eyes before speaking whilst her right hind paw began to tap on the floor in frustration.
"Well I remember that the question you asked me was wrong. I mean you're looking at a rabbit officer right now so I was right." Judy said in a know it all kind of way which nearly caused Jerry to start laughing again.
"Judy there wasn't a rabbit officer back then so I was right. Not you. But you're the first one Judy and I'm really damn proud that it's you." Jerry said which seemed to turn the annoyed looking rabbits demeanour almost straight away as Judy to let out a shy chuckle before she looked at Jerry with a bright happy smile plastered on her grey furred face.
"Thank you Jerry. That really means a lot coming from you." Judy said as she stepped forward again towards Jerry before enveloping her brother in a hug which Jerry gladly excepted.
"So this is why you had to leave me out in the cold Jerry." A low and gruff voice spoke out behind Jerry and Judy's back as both rabbits broke from their hug before the pair faced the owner of the voice.
"Dave? What are you doing here? I thought you were covering for me at the bar?" Jerry questioned the wide smiling polar bear who surprisingly to Jerry was still dressed in his black work suit as said polar bear held up his left white furred paw before he began to speak.
"Before you continue Jerry why don't you introduce me to your friend here." Dave said in a friendly and warm tone of voice as he gave the grey furred and bright purple eyed rabbit that was Judy a wide smile before Jerry began to speak again.
"I will Dave...once you tell me why your here." Jerry questioned Dave as said polar bear gave Jerry a small nod before he cleared his throat and began to speak in his low and gruff voice.
"Well Jerry. Let's just say that we won't be guarding Mr Big's personal bar anymore. But instead well be guarding...well instead we'll be guarding Mr Big's house." Dave said with a big wry grin plastered on his white furred face whilst Jerry on the other paw looked at Dave with in pure shock and joy as he tried to form some words to say back to the smiling polar bear that was Dave.
"Th...that's...that's brilliant Dave. Were finally moving up in the security guard business. No more lame bar guarding duty for us." Jerry said as he jumped up in the air in excitement before bumping his right black furred paw with Dave's huge white right furred paw as Dave let out a deep chuckle as Jerry landed back on the ground.
The pairs happy and joyous attitudes were shattered as Jerry was quickly pulled away from Dave by a furious looking Judy who dragged Jerry by his camouflaged hoody before said angry rabbit turned Jerry around so his green eyes were facing Judy's bright angry purple ones.
"Jerry. I'm going to ask you this once. Who is Mr Big? And you had better hope it isn't the Mr Big I'm thinking of." Judy said as Jerrys grey furred ears began to slowly fold down against the back of his head whilst Judy continued to glare at said rabbit in anger.
"Do I...um...have to answer the question Judy?" Jerry questioned his sister in fear and worry as Judy let go of Jerrys hoodie before she let out a big huff of frustration as she turned her attention to the surprised and slightly scared looking polar bear that was Dave as her bright purple eyes locked onto Dave's hazel ones.
"If you won't tell me who you work for Jerry then I'm sure that Dave won't mind telling me instead." Judy said as Dave began to slowly back away from the still furious looking grey furred rabbit that was Judy as said rabbit stopped in her tracks before glaring at Dave in an aggressive manner.
"Well then...Dave was it? Wont you tell an officer of the law who you work for?" Judy questioned Dave as she took out her police badge from her uniforms trouser pocket before presenting it to Dave as said polar bear began to look around in panic.
"Um...well...you see...me and Jerry work as security guards for...Mr Big." Dave said as he whispered the last of his sentence which didn't do much to stop Judy from hearing the name as said rabbit turned around to face her fearful looking brother.
"Jerry. Is what Dave just said true? Because if it is then you had better start running because you'll soon find out how I became the first rabbit officer on the ZPD." Judy said as she began to advance on Jerry whilst said rabbit looked to the still scared looking polar bear that was Dave in hope of rescue whilst Dave just shook his huge white furred head in response.
"Listen Judy...why don't we just forget about this and talk about the trip to Bunnyburrow...does that sound good Judy?" Jerry questioned the light grey furred and bright purple eyed rabbit that was Judy as she began to cease her advance before putting a paw to her head in thought.
"I mean...we can talk about it later...and I promise that I'll tell you the truth Judy. Heck even Dave will come along and back me up right Dave?" Jerry said in slight confidence and hope as Judy looked from Jerry to Dave as she watched as said polar bear began to nod his head quickly in answer.
"Fine. But you'd better tell me the truth Jerry." Judy said in a slightly aggressive and calculated tone of voice before she turned her grey furred head to face Dave as said polar bear looked slightly fearful towards Judy.
"And I would greatly appreciate it if you would come along as well Dave. It would mean a lot to me and if I want the truth out of my brother then it would be good to have you along to make sure that Jerry is telling the truth." Judy said in hopeful and warm tone of voice as Dave quickly looked toward Jerry who gave said polar bear a slight nod.
"Um sure Ms Hopps. I don't have anything else planned as of now so I'd be glad to be of assistance." Dave said trying his hardest to sound happy and fearless as Judy chuckled to herself lightly before she began to speak again.
"Thank you Dave. And don't call me Ms Hopps. Judy's fine." Judy said as Dave nodded his head in understanding before a catchy ringing sound caught the attention of all three mammals as Judy recognised the familiar tune of "Try everything" as said rabbit began to quickly reach into her trouser pocket before bringing out her phone.
"Hello? Oh hi Nick. Have you reached the hospital yet?" Judy questioned Nick in a hopeful and happy tone of voice as she waited for a response from Nick.
"Yeah were at the hospital now in fact and Bens just been take into a room for a check-up." Nick said in worried tone as he looked toward the pure white doors that Ben had just disappeared behind a few minutes ago on a wheeled stretcher which was being pushed by a pair of female wolf nurses.
"I've asked the main reception if I could go in and see him at any point but they said it would be dangerous for me to go in." Nick said as his tone of voice began to become more and more worried as Judy began to talk back on the phone.
"You do have to consider and remember that Ben went savage Nick. Maybe there worried for your safety because they haven't given Ben the antiserum yet?" Judy said as Nick let out a sad sigh.
"Yeah...maybe your right carrots it's just...that..." Before Nick could continue said fox was interrupted by the strong and deep voice of Bogo as said grey furred buffalo began to make his way over to Nick from the seated position that he was in a few seconds ago.
"Wilde is that Hopps on the phone?" Bogo questioned Nick in his deep and authorities voice as said fox nodded his head before Bogo began to speak again.
"Ask her if she's caught the offender or at least if she's seen them anywhere." Bogo said to Nick as said red fox repeated the words that Bogo had just said to Judy as he waited for a response from said rabbit.
"Nick could you tell the chief that I didn't manage to catch or see the offender. Tell him that the perpetrator must have gotten into a vehicle to escape. Also could you tell him that I'm on my way to the hospital to report my findings." Judy said as Nick turned his head to face Bogo before Nick began to repeat what Judy had said to him to the grey furred and hazel eyed buffalo that was Bogo.
After repeating what Judy had said to Bogo said buffalo gave a nod towards Nick before he began to speak briefly again.
"That's fine." Bogo said as he made his way back to the hospital seat that he had been previously seated in before said buffalo pulled out his own phone as he began to type a message into said phone.
"Oh and before I make my way to the hospital Nick I just want to let you know that I'm bringing Jerry and a friend of his with me as well. I still have to discuss the trip to Bunnyburrow with Jerry and his friend wanted to tag along. I hope that's okay with you Nick?" Judy said whilst Nick on the other paw let out a small chuckle before he began to talk back to said rabbit in a slightly up lifted tone of voice as said fox looked back towards the plain white doors that Ben had gone into.
"Yeah that's fine Judy. But be quick. It's quite lonely being here with just buffalo butt and I would like to have a friend with me for when I'm allowed to see Ben." Nick said as he and Judy both said there goodbye before Nick turned off and pocketed his phone.
"Um excuse me officer?" A slightly deep and gravelly voice said from behind Nick as said red fox turned around to face the owner of the voice as his emerald green eyes rested upon a black furred wolf who looked at Nick with a wide smile on his black furred face.
Said black furred wolf was dressed in a dark black suit which had a ghostly white tie which hung lazily upon said suit as well as a pair of black trousers which matched the wolfs suit. The wolf was also a lot skinnier than most wolves that Nick had met and the fur on the wolf head seemed to have been gelled back to give the wolf a more slick appearance.
"Yes...what is it that you want?" Nick questioned the black furred wolf in surprise and concern as said wolf continued to smile at Nick before he began to speak again in his deep and gravelly voice.
"Oh I was just wondering why an officer such as yourself was waiting round in a hospital that's all?" The wolf questioned Nick in an innocent tone of voice as Nick couldn't help himself as he noticed the wolfs piercing and cold blue eyes that seemed to see straight through Nick.
"Oh I'm just waiting to see how my brother is. He's just gone into that room and...wait how did you know I was a police officer. I'm not wearing my uniform." Nick said to the black furred and cold blue eyed wolf as said fox gestured to the light green Hawaiian shirt and beige trousers that he was wearing whilst the wolf began to laugh in amusement which sent chills down Nicks spine.
"Oh I'm sorry for laughing officer Wilde...It's just that...well everyone knows you. You're the first fox officer on the ZPD am I right?" The wolf questioned Nick to which said fox nodded his head slowly as he continued to eye the black furred wolf suspiciously as said wolf continued to talk.
"Well its and absolute pleasure to meet you in the flesh officer Wilde. And I'm sorry about your brother being here in the hospital. I do hope that nothings bad has happened to him and that he is alright." The wolf said in a saddened tone of voice before he began to speak again in a much happier tone of voice which caught Nick slightly off guard.
"I'm actually quite a big fan of yours as...well...you're the first fox officer in the ZPD. That's something to be proud of isn't it?" The wolf questioned Nick in a happy and inquisitive tone of voice as said wolf gave Nick another wide smile.
"Yeah it is. I'm just surprised as I'm not that used to being greeted and noticed that often by the public." Nick said as he rubbed his right black furred paw behind his auburn furred head in slight embarrassment.
"Now I know that's a lie Nick. When you graduated from the police academy the news was all over you. A bit like it did for when that rabbit became an officer of the ZPD...Judy I think her name was." The wolf said before he abruptly stopped speaking as he covered his mouth with his left black furred paw.
"I'm sorry before I continue Is it ok if I call you Nick? Wilde just seems a bit...well...a bit to familiar to me." The black furred wolf said as his tone of voice became slightly more aggressive as he said the name "Wilde" to which Nick nodded his head in answer to the wolfs question before speaking.
"Well if you're going to call me Nick then I should at least know your name. I think that's only fair." Nick said as the black furred wolf let out another slight chuckle which once again sent chills down Nicks spine as the wolf began to speak.
"Yes that seems fair to me Nick. The names James. James Joseph Spire."
