A/N
Well here is my next chapter, still some stuff to come and a good ending which I know what I want for it but still undecided if I should make it longer or just short and sweet.
Oh yeah I made a small edit to the previous chapter. I forgot that Skye was writed his way and not only Sky, sorry for that.
Well hope you like this one is a bit more long that my usual but got inspired and decided to finish it.
This shouldn't have to end this way?
Nick Wilde
After have a good rest in his home Nick was strolling the streets near the border of Happy Town, municipality have done none to improve the neighborhood since his youth days, basically had a blind eye but nevertheless it was better thanks to him and Mr. Big, through minimizing petty crime, giving more secure and legal avenue and fixing thing here and there it wasn't the run down place but keeping the image as one so the powers above didn't come steal their work and credit, Mr. Big learned that lesson a long time ago with little Rodencia.
Pass incognito around that place wasn't to hard, just a colorful pawaiian shirt a khaki short and his usual aviator did all the the trick to be overlooked, he enjoyed this it was very unusual of him be out with the sun high warming his fur and feeling the soft breeze combing his fur, it keep a very joyful smirk in his lips while walked to the nearby alley corner.
Thanks to Finnic and is better network of street informant, the whereabouts of certain weasel was easily obtain, he was avoiding locations near Starry Sky after hear that Skye was very piss at him, so while laying low he was on his old grounds playing safe with his usual bootleg things, he was hiding between building in a corner bringing some clients between the ones that he sell his copied movies or other products.
Nick walked with a calm phase in the dirty alley seen the old table with some cases of cds over and in front of the table on the floor, Nick stand in front of the small stand and reclining in a plastic chair was snoozing Duke, this make the fox giggle, he couldn't understand how this weasel was so careless specially knowing that was on the bad list of Skye. Tapping his claws over the table with a rhythmic motion he call to the weasel with a sing song tone - Oh Dukey - the weasel barely move giving some soft groans and shake his shoulder, Nick sneer a bit and turn his paw to knock the table with his knuckles and raising his voice a bit call - Hey Duke wake up - the weasel jolt up spook of the sudden call out, holding his chest while heavily breathing look around till his gaze was fixed to the fox - Wilde - was the disgust response coming from the weasel - What you doing here and what is it you want? - asked as he crossed his arms and looked to the side.
Shaking his head with a smug grin the fox look at the weasel - Tsk tsk Dukey Dukey besides you have piss Skye now want to get me angry - with a sharp look and a semi maniacal smiles Nick looked down to the weasel making him shrink in the chair and dryly swallow - now I came here to make you a favor - the fox smile darkly showing all his teeths - I'm going to take out of your paw the drug business and take it for myself - the weasel look at the fox confuse at first, then disgusted and finally angry - And why I should give you my business - he argue - Well first that drug you sold to Skye's girl kill her, second I will alleviate things with Skye for you and third keeps your paws clean again, otherwise I will tell Skye where to find you and you know what will come - the last statement was given with finality making the weasel to cower a bit and shake of fear - Ok Wilde what you want me to do - with this Nick smile and calmly told - Call your supplier tell him there someone is interested in become a dealer, that wants to be a mayor dealer, give him a basic info about me and set me a meeting.
Duke clicking his tongue took out his phone and made a call, while he was speaking with another mammal Nick took the time to check the videos that Duke had and raise an eyebrow to some of the titles that seem very dubious. After 45 min Duke cut the call and look at Nick - Ok meeting is set in one of the warehouses on the Rain Forest district - to this he wrote something in a paper and handle it to Nick - it be by 7 pm - then he took a look at the time and grumbling started to pick his stuff - got things to do, remember help me with Skye Wild - point a claw to the fox - Don't worry I will smooth things for you Duke, good luck - turning around Nick walk out from the alley while Duke was finishing gather this thing.
As soon Duke put all his things together and also walked out from the alley he stumbled with a Rhino police officer.
Judy Hopps.
The day for Judy has been quite monotonous, come to the precinct, roll call, paper work, patrol, the usual, so far a normal day, she was patrolling near Sabana Central and Sahara Square when the radio crackled.
Calling officer Hopps, over - the voice of Clawhauser came from the radio bubbly as always.
Yes Clawhauser I'm here, over - promptly answer back Judy.
Remember that APB you ask for a weasel name Duke, over - Clawhauser informs her.
Yes, what about it ?, over- asked curious with ears standing straight with nose moving.
Well we have a weasel with the name of Duke detain in the cell if you want to question him, over
I be right there Clawhauser thanks, over - putting the mic of the radio back in place Judy turned her patrol car and returned to the precinct, with this she could advance the drug investigation.
As soon she arrived at the precinct and park the patrol went to see Clawhauser, arranging with the bubbly cheetah a interview room and to brink Duke took a bit of time but was set and Judy was sitting waiting for the weasel.
While waiting for the weasel Judy took a moment to read the file for his detention, officer Rhinowitz stumble with the weasel while doing his foot patrol, he wouldn't have detained the weasel if he hadn't do the rude gesture towards him and the officer remember the apb, in the small list of belongings that had in the moment were the bootleg dvds which wasn't a big crime and unfortunately for the weasel some small bags with some substance that was send to the laboratory for test, a grin from the bunny came to her lips and quickly send a text to Clawhauser.
Judy ears perk up and listen to the steps of the officer that was bringing the weasel, she close the folder and wait for the door to be open, few second later the door open and enter a wolf officer who was escorting the detained, the officer situated him on the chair on the other side of the table and lock the pawcuf.
Soon Dukeglance at Judy a sneer form and with despise he asks - What do you want copper? - Judy didn't react and with a calm yet commanding voice address him - Mr Weaselton you were brought here for some questioning, correct me if I'm wrong but your usual line of work is selling bootleg movies - softly growling he turn the head and cross his arms - Yeah usually and is not a crime that requires interrogation - Judy remain unmoved to the reaction of the weasel - Yes you are correct but between your belonging was found some substance that might be drugs, I'm waiting for the lab and if those drugs are what I think are, you're going be in serious problem - Duke open his eyes like saucers and started to feel quite nervous about the situation, a cold sweat run on the side of his temple and looked around the room like trying to find a escape - I don't know what you talking about bunny cop - in that second a ping sound in the phone of Judy, picking up and reading a big wicked smile form in her lips and with a malicious gaze turn to the weasel - Well well well turn out the result are here and is the same drug that is related to a murder - in a flast Judy jumped over the table and walked towards the weasel - Tell me Mr. Weaselton are you involved with the distribution of this drug - Duke desperation grew with every step the bunny gave - Did you sell the drug to a mink ? - the world seem to sink for the weasel feeling trap with no scape - You can face many years in jail if you don't answer my questions Mr. Weaselton - holding the sides of his face sweating like crazy, his eyes looked everywhere in the room till he couldn't take any more and burst - OK OK I CONFESS THE DRUGS ARE MINE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO SELL THEM, I NEVER KILL A MINK OR SELL TO ONE, I'M SORRY I'M SORRY - Weaselton was reduce to a babbler ball, crying and panting with a panic state made the bunny stop and recoil a bit, to calm him she came close and caress the back - Shh is ok, I'm sorry Mr. Weaselton - listen if you got something that could help me, I can put a good word and see that your punishment is lighter - slowing calming and the frenetic panting lowering he hears the works of the bunny and a small ray of hope show for him - Really you promise? - softly smiling Judy nod - There is not much I can tell you to help you - then he remember the meeting he arrange for Nick - but I know a important meeting that will happen today - Judy turn and look at Duke - Tell me everything - with that Duke just told her that a very important mafia capo would meet with the sellers of the drug at noon in the Rain Forest district.
After the interview Judy made sure to mark the cooperation of Duke, the meeting would be a couple of hours so she had time to be ready to go where indicated, now all she needed to do was wait and this would make her career blow and Bogo will be proud of her.
Nick Wilde
Checking himself on the large mirror of his dresser, admiring the view on the other side he look at the polish suit he always wear for this occasion, the black suit with silver details on the custures make him look quite sharp and professional, a lovely deep aquamarine tie with a double windsor knot, giving himself a tooth grin say while holding the lapels of his jacket - Elegant and handsome as always huh Wilde - chuckling move to pick his gun, his old reliable one his costume Nighthawk GRP, powerful enough to quickly drop an enemy and to leave a good reminder tho the ones hurt with that pistol to never fuck with this fox, finally his smoke granade, rarely he need to use but in a dire situation it was good distraction to run for the nearess exit, Nick had a system, the grenade was place in his back under his coat the pin hold on one hook and the grenade with a thin thread that is invisible to plain site that would go over the line of his belt to his front, pulling it would pull down the grenade and activate giving enough time to doge and run, it had save him couple of times giving him a good escape. Lastly was the ten thousand zoodolars, his moto offer a good amount of money but not much so they don't suspect of you and no to little so can see you're serious enough, for this in his experience found that opening a negotiation with that money was a good foot into any organization, he could later recover it with either the club or raid to one of the locations of the drug dealers, with that he pick the keys of his car was ready for the meeting.
After a long drive to the Rain Forest district Nick park his car in a very secluded park lot, not to far or close to the meeting place, secluded enough so in case of a run away could return without been seen, at the end no situation was guarantee to go smooth or well and be prepared was something this fox was always ready.
After some min of walking he arrive to the warehouse, the complex was a bit rundown, nature have made some damages with some trees coming from the inside leaving the place with plenty of exits, knocking on the door with the pattern that knew the door open, as he enter he notice that the party whom he was about to negotiate was one that had never seen before, they look canid with short snout, bit more smaller than him and had a very mark latino accent, short tail and the fur seem to be thin having a color reddish brown been lighter in the head, as soon he was in front of them Nick proceeded with is introduction - Greetings gentle mammals my name is not so much important as my pseudonym, I'm know in the underworld as "The Rosso Volpe", and I'm here to make negotiations with you for this new drug you bringing to the city.
One of the canines responded to the greeting - Placer, my name is Severiano and in case you are wondering we are deer dogs, we are from south Animalia between Paraguasu and Arfurtina and it would be a pleasure to make business with you señor.
Judy Hopps.
The meeting set time was coming close and she was desperate to get to the place, her foot was stomping like crazy over the floor of the metro and watching the time pass with of each station, Judy feel so idiotic for leave the cruiser but she follow the rules and this was her no authorize investigation so metro was, as soon the metro reach the zone near the meeting she dart out of the wagon like a bullet. She was late by couple of minutes which still give her ample time to reach it and maybe find all the parties in the middle of negotiations, soon she saw the warehouse she scout a moment around the complex, lucky no guards so slowly approach the place, coming near the door her hearing capture the voices of the occupants inside, as she move found a small hole and peek in, only be able to see the weird canids and someone in a suit that could not identify well but could tell was a medium size mammal, once in front the door she could hear that were in the middle of negotiations and she was in the perfect moment to interrupt them, taking a couple breaths she recoil her leg and with a very strong Kick open the door and yell - ZPD you are all under arrest!
Some minutes before.
Nick just finish listening to how the drug was made and the means how they enter to the city, he have suggest where he could sell the first bach and how in time they would grow to better and more lucrative partnership, his usual first offer had been quite agreeable and were about to shake paws to seal the deal when a bang open the door of the warehouse and from there came the officer Judy Hopps yelling - ZPD you are all under arrest ! - in that moment many emotions crossed the fox, admiration, surprise, shame and wanted really hard to face paw himself, this bunny is going to be the demise of the fox, fortunate he didn't show any emotion and the only thing that he said was - Carrots?
Nick's right paw went quickly at his buckle where the thread was set and wrapped it up around his finger, he knew the length that had and unless he fully extended his arms in the air the grenade wouldn't be dropped.
Judy nose twitch rapidly as he move smoothly and slowly towards them, not taking the eyes from the deer dogs came to see a table where a big plastic bag with the drugs was on display and soon she turn her weapon to the fox and frown - So at the end you use me Fox, should have know all that you told me in the car was a lie, I was about to trust you.
Those words sting a bit in the heart of the fox but he couldn't blame her, at the end she didn't know about how he dealt with drug cartel or dealers and could't trust her because he would end up in jail but what neither expected was that the deer dogs would pull their own weapons and point one to Judy and the other to Nick believing that both were working together - Bueno seem Señor Fox you wanted to betray us with his bunny, shame that this business have end it before start - seen this Nick raise both arms fully to the air and curb his tail, the grenade fall into his tail and with a quick swept of his tail send the grenade silently between the deer dogs.
The can rolled to hit one of the feet of the deer dogs, he looked down not knowing what it was and with an explosion the smoke started quickly to fill the room. As soon the explosion distracted most of the mammals Nick ran towards Judy and picked her by the waist. She was surprised and tried to get herself free but as soon the bullets started to sound she just held onto him as he jumped through one of the holes in the building.
Nick run zigzagging between trees, bushes and branches, he had some moments of advantage and the sprinkles haven't yet started the new cycle of rain, due to the hurry exit he didn't much of option and ran to the opposite way where his car was park, with luck he will miss them, reaching a couple of thick trees he hide and the bunny jump to the other side to start to yell at him - What the hell you think you doing? - he looked at her aghast then frown - Trying to save your life, what you think was trying to do? - Judy hiding behind the other tree peek to see if their pursuers were near - I dont know may be start a new drug empire and become a kingpin - Nick face paw himself and grumbles to the absurdity - I was trying to destroy them, there's a process which you ruin now - annoy she look in disbelief to the fos - What you mean there's a process? - in that second bullets started to impact on the trees behind them forcing it to duck. Judy quickly pointed her tranq gun and shot two darts that hit two mammals, she quickly checked how many darts still have and unfortunately only had four more and were eight mammals six still standing, she looked at Nick - Care to help a bit or are you unarm also? - Nick didn't want to take his weapon but giving the situation had no other option, he took the gun from the inside of his jacket and pull it out, the ears of the bunny pointed straight and her eyes open wide when saw the pistol, Nick pointed to the ones shooting at them and before he pull the trigger Judy yell - Don't kill them - Nick roll his eyes and with sighs took aim and shot gracing the arm and leg of three more, Judy shot two more time putting to sleep other two mammals. Nick took a moment to look around and recognize where they were, there was a low path where both could run and return to his car and it be camouflage enough so they could lost them, he look at Judy and signal with his paw about the scape way, Judy nod and jump towards him in that moment when she was in the air passing to his side a shot grace her shoulder and fall next to Nick, quickly he took a shot and hit the knee of the last mammal then look at Judy and pull a handkerchief from his coat and rapidly made a bandage for Judy's arm, as soon he finish the sprinkles started to work and rain poor heavy as always is on that district, he pick her up over his chest and make his retreat.
Lift a big leaf and slid under a branch where found the trail and quickly ran to his car, soon he reached it, put the hurt bunny in his passenger side, both were very wet but he didn't care all he wanted was to run from that disaster, closing the door he got into the driver and drove to his home.
