Judy looked to see a fulf just shorter than James waving. On his arm there was a pure black wolf in a lovely blue dress that matched her bright sapphire eyes.
"Rogue! Leafarna!" James called out "Tell Gideon his delivery is here!" the two canines did as they were told and Judy held the white gate open.
"Oh, um thanks" James said. he hadn't met any mammal, let alone a prey, who would just help him out like that. the front door to the house opened and there stood Gideon and Nick. Nick looked up at the feline next to his bride-to-be.

"Panda's been waitin for ya, Jim" Gideon said taking hold of one of the baskets. "She's out back. we'll get these."
"Um.. okay, if you're sure Gid," James looked down at Judy "I guess i'll see ya later, jenna?"

"Yeah, you can come over and pick up some bananas whenever ya like."Judy said with a smile as Nick and Gideon pulled her wagon into the house. they all went into the kitchen and nick turned to Judy.
"We have a problem," he said
"What is it Nick?"Judy asked with concern
"Chief Buffalo Butt and Our good Doctor are here for the reunion." Nick said mirroring Judy's worry
"I know i just met her brother." Judy said "It was weird it felt like he knew me from someplace else at first."

"Did ya meet em in the big city?" Gideon asked
"I think i'd remember meeting a leotigon." Judy said. Nick hadn't actually payed any attention to the pattern on the feline's fur.
"Did you say Leotigon?" Nick asked

"Well i may have gotten it backwards, the proper term may be Tigonard" Judy stopped trying to figure it out when she saw the way nicks eyes began to stare at her. "Carrots, we've got to go,"
"What?" she looked at him incredulously "Nick who exactly is this feline?"
"There's a cat with both spots and stripes" Nick looked from Judy to Gideon and back "he was known as the rebel chemist. he used to tear relationships apart with a concoction of scopolimine and methemphetamines" Nick stopped "We have to get the chief and get out of here!"
"Nick why" judy asked as Nick pulled her toward the back door
"Could you stop arguing and just come on!" nick said still pulling her away
"Someones coming!" Judy hissed.
"Follow my lead" Gideon pulled out his wallet and Nick hid behind one of the baskets.
"No way gid!" Judy said with a loud fake laugh "Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Stu wouldnt hear of it!"

"Come on jenna! that's bad for business." gideon said as Mira walked in with Chief Bogo
"Gideon Grey, put your money away before i stuff it down your overalls" judy said
"Jenna!" gideon said sternly

"You want to pay them, go do your own dirty work!" Judy said lifting one of the large baskets down "Besides there was more than enough from the harvest and we need to keep our best customer, who else bakes crepes like yours!"

"You are infuriating," gideon looked up "Oh hey Mira,"
"Hey Gid, whats going on?" Mira asked staring at Judy, who felt the blush creep up her cheeks.

"Oh just dealing with a stubborn rabbit," gideon said putting the money in an envelope "You've got how many cousins at that house? not to mention all Bonnie and Stu's Grandkits?"
"You just don't know when ta quit do ya Gid?" Judy laughed, brushing her ear off her face and picking up the basket that nick had been hiding behind. "i'm not sitting through that lecture again!"

"Okay! you win!" Gideon held up his paws in surender. "I'll take it over after the reunion" he set the envelope on the counter. "So who's your friend Mira?"
"Oh!" She was snapped out of her thoughts "This is Kgosi Bogo, he's the chief of the ZPD."

"Well good ta meet ya" Gideon said "You and Mira must be pretty close for you to come to the reunion."
"He wouldn't let me leave without him" Mira said with a smirk as she noticed Bogo was now staring at Judy

"Have you told james yet?" Gidion asked his voice filled with concern
"Why do you ask me like that?" Mira and gideon argued for a moment
"You look very familiar," Chief bogo said as he watched her struggle with the second bushel of berries before helping her get them out of the wagon. as soon as the bushel was on the ground Bogo noticed the faint scar upon her cheek "Hopps?" Judy turned at her name and looked up at the cape buffalo.

"I can explain sir," Nick said taking a step towards the large bovine
"This should be good" Bogo said crossing his hooves, making the red flannel shirt streatch over his back accentuating his muscular build.
"We have a lead," Judy said
"Wilde! i told you not to work on the case!" bogo raised his voice.
"I didn't the lead just..." Nick tried and failed of a good explaination "showed up helping get the blueberries here. and that lead is going to try and get you next if we can't make it out of here before he see's you. Let's go"
Nick pulled Judy through the back door and weaved his way with her through the mammals. He had expected Bogo to simply follow him without question. But he hadnt looked back to make sure the bovine was.
"Oh Jack dear! i want you to meet my godson!" Panda said taking hold of his paw. "James! over here!"
"Aunt Panda, I would love to stay and chat but I really~~" Nick heard a howl from his side and knew just how sly a bunny can be. Leafarna, who was next to Rogue, began to howl along with Panda. Then Rogue and Josh joined, then James and John, soon everyone was howling.

Nick took his cue and he pulled Judy along with him through the gate and up into the trees between the properties.

the howling stopped and Mira looked around for the runaway patients, and then her eyes settled upon James.
"James!" she called as she walked toward him,"I want you to meet my Friend, Kgosi."

"This is your friend?" James said in an agriveated tone
"Yes, James" She said defensively "He's a fine Mammal!"

"This oversized Bison?" James yelled. "He could kill you just as easily as his kind killed Mom and Dad!"
"James, He's a cape buffalo, Not a wildebeest!" Mira yelled back

"He's still a cow!" James said vehmently "And they are still dangerous!"
"He is not!" Mira defended
"You don't believe me?" James asked pulling a weapon from his coat "then let me show you what happens when you take the bull by the horns!"
It all happened so fast:

James fired 2 shots
Bogo shielded Mira
Nick and Judy laid on the ground at Bogo's feet,

"Jenna?" James questioned lowering the weapon and dropping it to the ground "Jenna!" he ran forward but abruptly fell to the ground just short of the fox and rabbit couple.
