Here is the third chapter. This week I was a bit lazy so I published a bit late. I want to keep a weekly publication if I can but won't make any promises.

I have the general idea where I want to take the whole story. What is hard is to come with every detail and may get stuck at some point.

Chapter 4 is a work in progress and I hope by next Friday it will be edited and ready and have started with 5.
Want to give thanks for the ones that stopped to read my work. I know it is not the best but I try, special thanks for the few commentaries and to johnback84 the only one so far that shows not as a guest.

Well here is chapter 3, enjoy it.

Nick snorted under the blanket making it move over his nuzzle, one eye open up showing his green iris coming to focus, resignedly his mind forces to woke up even with weight from the events hours ago, crawling out from his bed head to his shower, for this time he allow himself be more sloppy dropping his clothing on the way. As he turn the knobs of the shower making the first drops wet his fur follow by the torrent of water soaking his body, keeping the head down coming close to the wall, putting his forearm over the wall he rested his head, for a moment growl baring his teeth turning to the side and look at his reflection in the mirror, the glow of anger in his eyes was still there, a heavy sigh help to calm himself, throw back his head letting the water washing his face, the water smooth the fur flatting over his body, the damp fur reveal the scars, reminders from old battles.

Once he finished he took the towel and wrapped it around his waist, moved to the sink where the medicine cabinet was, opening got two yellow bottles, popping some pills into his mouth, with a glass drank some water, the drugs slowly made their effect as the pain subside, moving this head and shoulder making his joints pop out.

Coming out from his bath he look down to the mess he left, shaking his head pick every single piece of clothing before walk to his kitchen, his breakfast would be simple a good cup of french press coffee with some toast and blueberry jam, he enjoy the silent his apartment provide, he loved his job but be in silent relax him a lot. Picking his phone he made a quick call to Mr. Big letting him know that will come to visit soon. Once finish he put his cup and plate in the sink, dropping his suit from last night into the laundry basket he spin heading to his wardrobe, opening the wood door the suits hanging in the rail come to view, in a drawer the cufflinks and small collection of elegant watches where present, he wear one of his suit with a set of cufflinks, a titanium watch slide over his wrist and he lock it in place, looking at the mirror a grin form in his handsome image. Taking the keys of his car went to the garage where his red AMG GT 63 Mewcedes was waiting to take him.

The car stopped at the entrance of the old yet beautiful mansion located in the high part of Tundra Town, one of the polar bear guards came to his window and rolled it down, once Nick recognized a nod was given, a signal that prompted the gate to open welcoming him back.
Once parked he walks to the front doors as the polars bears bow to him, Nick was one of the few that can roam freely inside the huge mansion. Strolling calmly reach the dark wooded door and as it open it the bright room was waiting for him, entering he close the door behind him, he smirk looking down to the trap door amuse to some old memories came, a velvet chair was in front and he sit waiting while watched the outside of the huge window, the snow flakes falling down dancing in the air till land on the ground, with soft sigh soon enough other door on the side of the room open, crouching down Kolov pass the threshold entering, Nick and Kolov exchange glances for a moment , the bear gave nod as he move to the office and place on the top what he was carrying.
Gently he put the massive paws over the table office and opened, an old shrew was sitting in a leather chair, as soon he saw Nick open his arms welcoming, NIck stood up with a smile and kissed the cheek of the shrew - Nicky my son, I see you have come.

Mr. Big, I have taken care of the situation at the club, the police took the evidence and collected statements, the club was set up to collaborate, I pay close attention to the process and if necessary… will personally help - this last word was said with some spice, Nick had detest the police for the many years of miss treatment, then he glance at the polar bear - Kolov if you allow a private moment with Mr. Big.

For a second the bear studied the fox and bow - Master Nicholas - whispered , walking out and closing the door as he exited the room.

The shrew raises an eyebrow, rare where the occasion when Nick asks for a private time and those times were never good.

Our honor has been taint - declare Nick

I'm aware of this my son - the shrew said heavily - this is the first transgression we had in a long time - Mr. Big thought for a moment - that boot usually is reserved to whom?

Usually it is reserved for the ambassador Kuznetsov, that night he gave his place to some wolves whom I didn't recognize - Nick calmly explained while his arms were behind him and he held his wrist with one of his paw.

And what are you planning to do? - ask Mr. Big

I'm going to pay the embassy a visit - Nick says in an almost frightened tone.

Nicky - softly but stern the shrew talk - don't cause problems, I know you can be reckless at times, we are tie depending a lot from the trading with them - he sighs a bit - I know your pride is hurt, remember we need to keep the good relationships.

Letting out a long sigh, Nick rolled his eyes and gave a cheeky smile - Ok ok, I will behave and be friendly with them - he pinch the bridge of his nose and massage for a moment - can a meeting be arranged, please.

Waving his paw the shrew in a dismissive gesture - Don't worry Nicky, I will take care of it.

The door opens again and Kolov re-enter the room, a squeaky female voice was heard calling for Mr. Big - Daddy - semi singing tone came from the paw of the bear - Oh daddy.

Gently Kolov put the small female shrew in the table which run to hug Mr. Big - Daddy you didn't told me that Nicky was coming today - she pout for a moment putting the paws on her waist and stomp one feet over the table, the image was silly and cute at the same time, then she turn around and smile to the fox and extended her arms - Nicky come here, miss you so much, how the club is going?

Nick with a warmth smile lower himself to give the female shrew the tip of his nuzzle - Sorry Fru Fru, was talking with Mr. Big over some problems that happen in the club - she gave a caring hug and pet the nuzzle for a moment while smiling softly - Oh you mean… - she stopped and looked at her father waiting for approval - yes I hear what happened, be sure to take care of the problem.

Nick gave a soft bow with his head, happy to see the female shrew, he grinned and scratched the tip of his chin - So how are things with your boyfriend? - look at her with the corner of his eyes while holding a joking smile.

Fru Fru for a moment blush and extend her paw to show a very tiny ring, Nick opens his eyes in surprise perking his ears - He proposed already and you didn't tell me.

I didn't have much time, it was just last night and daddy was the first to know, besides you were busy with the problem at the club - Fru Fru lowered her head feeling a bit guilty.

Nick offer a gentle smile - I will wait for the invitation, would love to arrange for the celebration but with the predicaments I won't be able - the gently smile change for a soft sad one - but you can count to do the bachelorette party at the club, will let know Finnick to prepare the party.

A big smile drew on the face of Fru Fru, she ran to her dad jumping and beaming with enthusiasm.

I'm sorry I can't stay for long, have to go for now, need to visit some places - Nick bow himself, kissing on the cheeks of Fru Fru and Mr. Big he gave his goodbye and exited through the door.

Mr. Big watches for a moment how Nick departed and then turns to look at Kolov - Bring the telefone I need to make a call to the Purrusia embassy - the bear moves the telephone closer to the shrew and dial a number.

Judy Hopps

The comfort of the bed and the dreamless night didn't give her too much rest, her optimism and ideals were shaken, she knew will confront hard moments, this was what she signed up for entering the police academy.

With a swift movement of her arm she uncovered herself, turning to look at the ceiling for a moment, sighing heavily she dragged herself out of the bed and slapped her cheeks - Come on Judy you can not get defeated by this, you have to overcome it - with this her resolve once again reestablished, strong determination show on her face.

Judy came out from her tiny apartment, she still was kicking herself for fall into such a cheesy scam, she was so eager to live in Zootopia that took the first apartment she could sign in, getting a mock of apartment a shoe box of one, she had to share bathroom with other tenants, every night hear the yells of the neighbors, yet she still was happy for a time, now she was looking to get out as soon as possible.

After the quick shower she was fresh and ready for the new day, she dressed in the uniform and went back to her apartment, looking around to confirm if she didn't forget anything, close and lock the door to make her way to the precinct one.

She was getting use to the daily commute to the precinct one, walk to the metro, reach the station near the work, she enjoy watch every day the different mammals on her route the lil things while listen to Gazelle.

In the front desk officer Clawhauser was eating his cereal, since she started there he welcome her happily, thanks to his nice personality and the share taste over Gazelle they became good friends

Soon she enter the building she greet him with a soft smile - Morning Ben-

with a big childish smile he greeted back - Morning Judes .

The usual chit chat between them was short, feeling more happy thanks to the mood of the chubby cheetah she was ready to confront the day. The bullpen burst with the sounds of morning mammals, hopping to her sit turn to look at the entrance of… chief Bogo, his strict demeanor keeped his officer in line, with a hard "Shut up" noise stop and all eyes went to the buffalo.
A stern look went around the room gazing over the waiting officers, shuffling some papers he started to give assignments, as names were called with a task, the bullpen slowly emptied it leaving only two officers waiting for the cape buffalo.

Officers unfortunately you stumble into a dire situation last night, a murder is not a light case to treat - the buffalo started give the explanation with a soft yet serious tone, he adjust his tiny eyeglasses on the tip of his nuzzle - due to budget shortage right now cant put detectives to work on it, wish I could put both of you to do some digging - he look upon the tigress and bunny - Fangmayer has to resume her duties with her partner and help in other case, which leaves me with you Officer Hopps - throws a folder over the table and the ears of Judy perk up looking at it, the buffalo cross his arms over the chest thinking - I don't like the whole thing, the background of that fox are quite shady.

Judy reviews the file, reading each page thoughtfully- What do you mean by shady chief? - asked, a bit distracted and not paying too much attention to what she was saying.

Did Fangmayer tell you about the history of the fox bouncer that helped you last night? - Bogo showing a bit of irritability while tapping his hooves over his arm.

Judy's ears perk up and look confused at the tigress, Fangmayer simply shrugs, turns to look back at the buffalo not understanding what he is trying to say.

With a soft sigh the buffalo takes another folder and opens, takes a moment to read the content - Nicholas P. Wilde, age 32 , species red fox, mostly link to a series of violent act, probably murders among other thing, obviously nothing never stick to him or was able to be prove in court - he closes the files and looks at the bunny - despice how he behaves now the rumor say that is the right hand of Mr. Big - for a moment look at the door of the bullpen - he is not much of a fighter but with a gun or rifle he is remarkable, no one knows why he is just a bouncer now, he may just have retired, so be careful how you deal with him, Hopps.

For now the investigation will be froze -lowering his head while shaking it - even with the full collaboration of the club we can't question the Purrusia. I know Hopps, despite this you will continue, there is little to none information over the arctic wolves, so till there more info for now continue your patrol, that all with a salute the buffalo say with a commanding voice - dismiss.
