A few hours have passed since the secret meeting. Our favorite duo has already clocked in, and are doing some paper work. Well, mostly Judy. Nick was doing anything BUT his paper work. "You know, Chief Bogo is going to kill you if you turn in your paper work in late…. For the 10th time in a row." Said the gray rabbit, focusing on her work.
Nick leaned back in his chair and smirked his larger than life smirk. He looked to his partner on his left and replied, "My work is already done, fluff." Judy choked on pretty much the air. "WHAT?! How can you be done before me?! We've only been at this for half an hour!" Nick chuckled and closed his eyes. "I ain't telling~." He sang so his partner.
Judy huffed out of her nose and focused back on her work. As she wrote down her report, her ears keep picking something up. She looked out of her cubical and saw some of the other officers looking their way, acting somewhat strange. Unbeknownst to her, they were all thinking the same thing. That their money was on the line weather she jumps on the fox or not. Well… not EXACTLY like that, but that's what some of them are hoping for.
They all shuffled and went back to their work when she saw them. Judy leaned towards her partner and whispered, "Hey, um, Nick?" Nick's grin grew wider slightly. "Yes, sweetheart?" He said loud enough for the other officers to hear. Judy picked up slight change in their behavior. She looked back to see most of the officers have fallen on the ground. Some were looking their way again. But slowly returned to their duties. They seems anxious.
Judy returned her attention to Nick. "Keep it down! I think some of our fellow cops are watching us." Nick opened his eyes and dropped his smirk. He looked out of their cubical and saw some of the officers did seem to be acting strange.
Nick sat up and leaned on the table with his elbow. "Hm. You're right. They do seem watching us. Welp. Not really the strangest thing to happen to us. Remember what happened last week? When Clawhauser thought that doughnut was talking to him?" Judy Snickered remembering the incident. They had somehow convinced their friend that Gazelle was turned into a doughnut.
From his office, our cape buffalo friend returns and calls out to our duo. "Hopps, Wilde! Officer Jackson and Blue have both called in sick. I need you two to take on their case." Judy perked up with a goofy smile on her face, and Nick jumped out of his chair and whooped in excitement.
Their chief groaned. "Why can't you be quiet for one day, Wilde?" Nick let out one more and quieter whoop. Bogo rolled his eyes and read out their case. "You'll be heading to Tundratown. Three limousines stolen from a rental." The looks on their faces. PRICELESS.
Judy drove their squad car down the roads of Trundratown, as Nick told her one of his old conning stories. "And that, Carrots, is why Finnick and I don't talk about pineapples." Judy was mortified. She has been holding her breath since he said the phrase, 'Like a chicken rolling in mayonnaise on the back of a dinosaur in a disco club".
When she finally came back to her senses she noticed they had reached their destination. "Nicholas Wilde, you have the most grotesque history in the world." She said as she and her partner exited the car. As much as she loves hearing about Nicks obscure past, she regrets its whenever she does.
They make their way towards the shop, noticing one of the gates has been cut open. The headed inside and noticed Koslov there, presumably holding Mr. Big in his hands. They walk closer, their heart jumping out of the chests. Nick was able to squeak out a hello. As much as they like Mr. Big, he still scares them a little.
Koslov looked down at them and brought Mr. Big to their level. They greeted him with kisses. He looked at the two officers in front of him with a smile. "Nicky, Judy, it is so good to see you again. And this time, under less stressful matters." Said the artic shrew. You must be thinking about how he helped them during the night howler case being the stressful encounter he is referring to. Nope. He's talking about little Judy's baptism. Their still not sure how they set the holy water on fire. It hasn't been put out, yet.
Judy smiled at the old mammal. "It's good to see you too, Mr. Big. As much as I would love to have a social chat, I think it's best it we talk about the matter at hand." Mr. Big nodded in agreement. "Of course. The faster we do this, the faster we can get my limo's back." Koslov walked into the office behind the front desk, Nick and Judy following him.
The large polar bear sat down and placed Mr. Big on the table, and the two sat on a chair. "As you two are aware, three of my limos have been stolen. Our camera footage shows us two female tigers, and male rabbit cut the fence around 2 am, and stole the vehicles. One did that stupid doughnut thing. I have already taken the plate numbers and copied the footage on a… usube-stick? Technology isn't really my thing." Koslov handed them and envelope, containing the info and USB-stick.
Judy smiled and took the envelope in her paw. "Thank you Mr. Big! Now, do you have any idea about who the perps are, or who might want to rob your legit business?" She asked. The shrew shook his head. The bosses have all agreed to leave our honest work out of our… other honest work. I think they might just be kids trying show how big tough guys they are."
Nick nodded his head. He asked, "Any witnesses? Guards?" "No witnesses that we know of. As for our two guards, let's just say, they are on vacation." Both Nick and Judy gulped down their tongues. They can only imagine what horror they must be facing right now. Meanwhile, two polar bears were screaming as they went down a waterslide.
Our two officers hopped out of the chair. Nick took in a short breath. "Well, this seems to be everything we need. Thank you for your time, Mr. Big." "I still don't like you Nicky." He figured as much.
