"Nick's tail is so soft however the burnt parts need to be taken care of."
I murmured quietly to myself while groping his long appendage.
His tail was pulled out of my paws much too soon.
Scoffing at me while smoothing out his tail Nick displayed his unpleasantries towards other mammals touching a fox's tail.
"You can't just touch a fox's tail, it's a very intimate thing that only mates are allowed to do," looking at the ground he sullenly continued "not even my mother touches my tail."
His cold glare made a giggle escape from between my lips which was a little odd now that I tried to think about it.
For some reason I was so into the fox that my rational mind was having difficulty processing correctly.
The suppressants were supposed to help curb the massive desire and lust I held towards the fox however when I had picked up the prescription and taken them at my apartment things went south quickly.
As I recalled the past few days my paw drifted closer to Nick's in a desperate attempt as closeness with him.
He rebuffed my sneak attack at trying to hold his paw so I went back to remembering the first day back at my apartment after resting and taking it easy while recovering from the fire.
I was sitting on my bed while listening to my annoying neighbors argue about who drank the last soda when a very strong desire to nest took over me.
Cleaning the room in all its tiny entirety I had made my bed several times for no reason. Each time noticing a slight wrinkle in the bed sheet that wouldn't do if I was going to bed down with my mate.
Stopping mid thought. I had to sit down and ponder why I was thinking and doing such odd things.
My fur was hot to the touch, my pulse felt slightly elevated. I didn't have a boyfriend, had never even kissed someone let alone mate, so why was I-.
That's when pictures of the fox surfaced in my mind and my body responded in kind by dry humping the wooden chair with the mental image burned into my thoughts.
Moaning out loudly I couldn't control the swirling desires and demanded release within my body.
Grabbing the carrot pen off my desk I made my way to the bed while stripping down to my bare fur.
The heat from my ears was too much and I was panting heavily.
Gently stroking my paw across my body I cried out in ecstasy from even my own touch.
My neighbors heard my moans and loudly asked if I was ok only to have me yell back at them a tad loudly, "I'm fine."
I had gotten up quickly and tuned the radio to some music then turned up the volume to a level I had never gone too however once the guitar from whatever song was playing out, Guns and Rodents I then leaped onto the bed while spreading myself in a lust filled raged that needed to be fixed.
After using my own paw to spread my lips in between my legs I had felt out which parts drove the feelings deep in me the most and then I had found a rhythm with the music that played out loudly.
My paw pads quickly felt slick and the fur on my paw dampened while a sticky moisture formed a puddle below me.
Belting out a scream of enjoyment as I drove myself to the brink of heightened pleasure I pushed my body hard into the small bed all while plushy bunnies scattered onto the floor in my trashing orgasmic state.
The act of only my paw rubbing my nub was not enough and I snagged up the carrot pen next to my side. The pen was retracted inside and for a brief moment I gently rubbed it back and forth on my open wet slit.
Feeling excited more and more with the big plastic device entering my loins I started grinding into it lovingly and without even thinking I screamed out Nick's name while working the pen in and out of me.
The pressure was too much and as I squirmed from my own forceful paws I pulled the wet carrot pen from me just in time to squirt all over the middle of my bed.
Panting very heavily as I calmed down the offending pen still lightly gripped in my paw, it brought a smile to my face as I imaged Nick to be twice it's size and with twice as much force.
Sleep was calling me but I needed to turn the loud music down and dig out a new set of sheets however just as I went to turn down the music Gazelle's hit, Try everything song came on and I waited a moment for the line that says try everything and I responded back to the little radio while giggling to myself, "I will try him."
As soon as the music was turned down the neighbors made a comment.
"Nick sounds like a lucky guy."
Ignoring them I dug out a spare sheet then pulled off the completely messy ones and made my bed yet again.
Tossing my stuffed animals on the bed once the new sheet was on I needed my meds before going to bed so I took a puff of the inhaler and another suppressor.
The new pills were not working on me. I was going to have to ask the doctor about them but sleep took hold and I found myself lulled to dreamland by the thought of going to see Nick the next day.
…..
…..
"Nick Wilde," his name was called out pulling me back to reality as he stood up and I quickly stayed by his side.
The same otter nurse gave me a questioning look as I went to follow them into the back hallway towards the examination rooms.
"Um Miss I am sorry but you can't come ba-, oh hey it's you Miss Hopps!"
Her chipper tone didn't fool me for a second and as fast as I could I swooped up next to Nick and looped my arm around his.
"I am helping a friend who needs help getting from point A to point B now which room is it?"
I practically growled out at the poor female nurse as if her being close to my potential mate caused some primal rage to surface out of nowhere.
The nurse stepped back a few feet while talking in a lower tone, "if Mr. Wilde is ok with you being in the exam room then there is no problem. Take the third door on your right please."
I watched Nick as he nodded at the nurse before showing the otter who he wanted.
"She is ok to join me in the room, having a dear friend and officer by my side will ease the burden on any pain I need to endure while she can also take down criminal hospital bills that comes from this visit."
I laughed at the humor in his words while responding in kind, "how about I cover your visit while you cover mine?"
Instantly his paw shot out as I opened the door for him.
"Deal!"
Upon entering the exam room I stood next to Nick and helped him up on the table covered in parchment paper.
The room itself was slightly larger than the room I had used but all the equipment was the same and so was the layout.
Once he was settled on the table he shook loose of my hold I had of his arm the process caused my ears to droop coincidentally.
I felt rejected and to make matters worse the otter was back and had her paws on my fox while opening his shirt.
My teeth involuntarily chittered as I watched her take his vitals.
As the nurse finished up she gave me another questioning glance before speaking up.
"What brings you in here today Mr. Wilde?"
Nick chuckled slightly while answering, "my tail got a little burnt and I have some bruising going on with my chest and shoulders."
The nurse wrote down everything then she looked at him as if expecting more.
That's when he shrugged and said in a joking manner, "what can I say fluff here plays a little rough on a hard wood floor."
My face got all flush with warmth and I turned around without saying a word much to the gasping surprise of the otter.
After taking a moment to compose herself the nurse spoke up.
"Ahem, well, the doctor will be in to see you shortly."
I playfully responded while she opened the door feeling much better knowing she was leaving, "bu bye now."
However once the door closed Nick turned to me.
"Are you ok? You seem to be overly jumpy and what was with the teeth chatter? You're more on edge than me and I haven't seen a doctor since I joined the fire department."
His questions were legitimate and I couldn't even answer him since I didn't know either.
"I-I don't really know, my body is feeling hot and just being around you is filling my stomach with butterflies and when that other female got close I wanted to-."
I stopped talking and looked away from him in embarrassment.
His paws draped themselves on my shoulders and his gentle soothing voice whispered into my ears as I stared at the wall on the other side.
"You know what you just said sounds like you are in lo-," A loud knock on the door prompted a halt in his words.
"Open," Nick's voice was farther away and his warm paws pulled away from my now shaking body.
I quickly took a seat in a chair across from Nick just as the doctor came in.
His twitching nose and quivering whiskers bristled as he leaned his head in.
The doctor was Mr. Johnson and he let a loud sneeze that rang out loudly the further into the room he came while talking in a rather loud voice that I didn't care for.
"Whoa, this room has got a very good sm-," his eyes locked onto mine then his demeanor softened.
"Miss Hopps, how nice to see you here. I thought a Mr. Wilde was in here."
His gaze shifted to the table reluctantly and fell upon the reynard who glared back at the rabbit doctor.
"Ah Mr. Wilde there you are," the rabbit made his way over to the desk and went through the papers the nurse filled out, "I see you have some burnt fur on your tail and some bruising on your chest and shoulders."
As he came over and looked his tail over the rabbit doctor looked over at me then ask Nick about me.
"So how long have you known Miss Hopps over there?"
His tone felt robotic as if he just wanted to distract Nick while pushing on his body making him wince when a tender spot was touched.
At each hurtful cry from Nick my anger increased and my paws formed into fists ready to pound the jerk who was causing pain to my fox.
My thoughts shifted to that thought 'my fox,' it had a nice ring to it but no sooner had that thought crossed my mind did another cry spill out into the small room as he pushed on Nick's ribs.
I was at my limit but just as I was going to say something Dr. Johnson spoke up.
"We will need to do a chest x-ray and see if the lower ribs are broken."
Walking over to the door and opening it the rabbit doctor called for the nurse who quickly came running.
"Sara, could you take Mr. Wilde to get some x-rays done on his chest."
She nodded politely, "yes doctor."
As I watched Nick leave with the nurse I failed to notice the doctor close the door till my vision on the red fox was gone and a clicking sound was heard loudly while the male buck locked the door for some reason.
"What are you doing?"
The words came out of my mouth but I had a sinking feeling as to what he wanted.
"Miss Hopps you need to be checked out as well don't you? You seem to be feeling a little off no?"
I did feel off and allowed him to check my breathing on my back however I failed to take into account of him sticking his face close to my back and smelling me deeply.
"Ouch!"
A sharp prick on my shoulder had me jumping up knocking the doctor away while tipping the chair over as I skirted to the other end of the small room with my back to the wall.
"You-you put something in me? Why."
I checked my shoulder and the small hole had my blood leaking out while a slight numbing sensation was starting to take effect.
I quickly held onto my carrot pen in my back pocket just as he started to talk.
"My dear this is not the first thing I have put in you and it won't be the last, how are the enhanced hormone pills working out for you? I knew you would be coming back here but not so soon and not smelling so heavenly."
"You won't get away with this, Nick will come back here any min-," my whole left side where he had injected me was numb including my mouth making it hard to talk or scream.
Johnson went on prattling while removing his white coat, pants and stethoscope and set them on the table.
"My dear with that overpowering aroma emanating from your beautiful body I simply can't hold back and since he's not willing to lay claim to you I shall, plus they won't be back for a few hours."
His whiskers bristled wildly as he breathed in deeply, I took noticed as his leg came down slightly to ready himself to launch at me.
This was a first for me, I had been sought after by a few bucks back in the burrows but had sent them packing when they demanded I become a simple house wife raising their kits.
This however was over the top.
The crazy eyed buck before me seemed lost in a lust filled savage way and before I could finish my thoughts he lunged for me.
I swung my left numb body side at him as hard as I could, my completely limp arm connected up side the bucks head knocking him to the floor. Not showing any hesitation I used the last of my strength to Kick him square in the face laying him out cold on the smooth cold floor.
Good thing I trained hard to be a police officer or I would be a helpless bunny at this point.
The momentum I had put into kicking him swung my very heavy feeling body to the ground placing me on my back while my face stared in the direction of my assailant.
Taking out my phone before my right side went useless I pulled up contacts to call Nick then I remembered I took a photo of his number instead of entering it into my phone.
Instead I pulled up notepad and typed in one word, 'HELP'.
After that my vision became hazy, darkness took hold of me yet again for the second time this week.
….
…
…..
A warm feeling was on my mouth again as a bright light shone through the darkness that was beyond my eye lids.
I couldn't raise my arms or eyelids but my hearing was working fine and the first words I heard was music to my paralyzed body.
"Judy!"
"Come on Judy, please wake up!"
It was Nick's voice and the warm feeling on my mouth must be his, I needed another taste.
The mobility in my paws and feet started coming back plus I could move my tongue now but wanted Nick to come back and find out.
A looming figure soon blocked the bright light over me and as I gently puckered my lips the warm feeling was on them and without hesitating I snaked my tongue into the mouth that was on mine all while my now mobile paw grabbed the back of the mammals head holding it from pulling away 'ha your not getting away' I thought to myself however the more I felt the soft fur on my paws the more confused.
A more silky smooth texture feel made my eyes pop open only to be completely mortified by the mammal I was frenching.
Nurse Sara pulled away from my open paws and a deep blush permeated her dark fur but was visible around her short ears.
Both my paws came up to my mouth in utter shock.
Nick who had an ice pack on his shoulder was looking down at me smirking profusely.
My mouth now fully allowing me to speak could only summon out a few words.
"I am so, so, so very sorry."
Looking around the room I was having a hard time recalling how I had gotten down on the floor in the first place.
I looked at my right paw and saw the word 'help' written out but that was too vague to make anything stand out.
Chuckling from his high vantage point while clicking away on his phone a message blipped on my phone from a unknown number.
Slowly clicking on it, brought a picture of a otter and- is that me kissing an otter.
"DELETE THAT NOW!"
Sighing deeply Nick held up his phone and his delete button then in a nonchalant voice said something I didn't want to hear.
"Yeah it might make the value of the video I took go down."
I couldn't believe the words I was hearing so instead I asked the real questions.
"How did I get down here?"
The nurse and a big bear doctor came in and took a passed out Johnson away leaving me alone with Nick then he slowly slid off the table and helped me to my feet.
"We were gone only half an hour the x-ray machine got broke by a hippo before me so we came back to the room but the door was locked, I could smell that you were still inside but not responding to us banging on the door or yelling for you, so while the nurse went to get a key I panicked and broke the door down.
He looked away from me for a moment while scratching the back of his head before continuing.
"With the door open we found a half naked rabbit doctor laid out on the ground knocked out by the looks of it and you were on your side by the wall unconscious, I started to give you muzzle to muzzle but the nurse took over after coming back then well you took over and-."
I held up my paw to stop him while shaking my head, "none of that explains what happen though."
Looking down Nick swiped something from the ground.
"Is this yours?"
He held my carrot pen in his paws and twiddled it for a moment then hit the button on it's side and Johnson's voice spilled out after rewinding.
"My dear this is not the first thing I have put in you and it won't be the last, how are the enhanced hormone pills working out for you? I knew you would be coming back here but not so soon and not smelling so heavenly."
Both of us were stunned at what we had just listened too and to make matters worse I started to recall what had happen.
"H-he drugged me with-," I searched around the room for a moment and found the empty syringe under the table.
Nick had some other questions going through his head it seemed as he still toyed with the pen in his paws.
"Hormone enhancer pills. Why are you on those?"
Shaking my head in earnest while responding I tried to snag the pen from his paws and failed.
"I wanted hormone suppressors not enhancers."
He seemed a little upset by that response.
"Why would you need to suppress anything?"
Teasing me now with the pen by holding it over my head and raising it as I tried to grab it I continued the conversation.
"I met someone who I like and he was making my hormones go a little out of control and I can't have that happen when I go back to work," I jumped up but missed the pen again.
Holding the pen to his mouth while humming Nick gave the pen a deep sniff with it being so close to his nose.
"This smell, what is this!"
Nick's main focus turned fully on the orange pen in his paws.
His tongue snaked out and gave the orange plastic carrot a long lick then a thought came back just at that moment to me 'wait I used that last night for-'.
"Nick please give me back my pen," my face was now beat red as I recalled what I had used the pen for but couldn't tell him.
He shook his head no, "just a moment, I normally don't care for carrots but this thing is covered in something that I have never tasted, it's better than blue berries even."
Completely mortified now yet again my body betrayed me and as I watched him lick the pen again and again I whispered quietly, "yeah I bet you never tasted something as good as this bunny."
His ear twitched and I covered my mouth as his keen hearing heard every word I had said.
He started stuttering now while gently pawing back the pen to me.
"I- you mean this is your- but you -I just."
I raised an eyebrow at him while stuffing the pen back into my pocket, "you like carrots now huh?"
Defeated he could only nod in agreement.
Shaking my head I had another matter to take care of that was more pressing than having a fox lick my pleasure device.
I quickly pulled out my phone and called up the ZPD and low and behold the big cheetah manning the responders desk picked up.
"ZPD how may we help you today?"
Taking a deep breath I readied myself for the coming onslaught of questions.
"Ben it's me, Judy."
The reaction was instantaneous, "oh my goodness, WHAT! Judy is that you? What are you doing calling in? Shouldn't you be resting we heard you were in a fire."
Pinching the bridge of my nose I tried to slow him down by answering his questions before stopping him.
"Yes Ben it's me, I am calling to report an assault on me and a failed attempt at rape plus he drugged and prescribed the wrong medication to me as well, his name is Dr. Johnson over at the general hospital."
Typing could be heard in the background as well as heavy breathing then the big cats voice came back over the phone.
"Judy this guy sounds like a real creep I will send a cruiser your way, they should be there in a few minutes, please stay safe cutie."
I cringed at his use of the c word and as if just realizing his mistake his voice quickly came back through the phone.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to-."
I stopped him knowing full well that chastising the big guy wouldn't get anywhere.
"Just don't Ben. I will talk to you later, bu bye now."
I groaned out right after hanging up as a smirking fox leaned up on the table staring at me.
"You know Carrots, you are very adorable when you're frustrated."
His words made my leg twitch and my eyes narrowed to loving slits while I decided to messed with him.
"So now that you know what's down the rabbit hole you think I am adorable?"
His cool exterior faded.
"But I- you, we," he looked me over for a second as if taking things in a different direction.
The nurse came back in that moment stopping him from saying whatever it was he was going to say making him revert back to a stock smirk instead of his relaxed demeanor.
I wanted him back to being relaxed and crossed my arms while glaring at the nurse.
"You can leave now everything is being sorted out and the ZPD will be here shortly."
Still a little embarrassed by getting kissed by me the otter looked at the floor while talking.
"I just thought I should let you know that Dr. Johnson is making his way out of the hospital."
I looked at Nick and he looked at me and in unison both of us spouted out at the same time, "son of a kit!
Quickly leaving the exam room I spotted him making his way down the long hallway heading for the exit, he was sporting his bare fur.
"STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!"
I shouted out loudly while racing after him, Nick keeping pace a little ways behind me while staying silent.
Hearing and seeing me the scared rabbit bolted towards the door as quickly as his feet would carry him.
The sliding glass doors whooshed open allowing the offending jerk to escape all while I was still several doors down but closing the gap quickly.
Once at the sliding doors opened for myself I glanced back to check on Nick only to find him running quickly out the now open doors, "hurry up Carrots, he's getting away!"
I smiled at having someone there for me and if I could would love to have him as a partner.
My mind full of hormones played a cruel joke on me by invading my thoughts, 'partner in the bedroom'.
For a moment I lost focus as a mental image of a naked fox on my little rickety bed danced before my vision causing me to shake my head but in that moment I lost both the rabbit and fox.
My pace slowed down as I came to a halt at a street intersection, "oh carrot sticks, where did they-."
A loud crashing sound rang out just a few feet down a alleyway pulling my attention.
The alleyway was closed off with a very high fence at the end of it however what was near the fence had me gasping in horror as I quickly made my way down the dark place.
Nick was being cornered by two rams while Dr. Johnson lay passed out on the ground by the other corner.
"Hey knock that off."
I shouted as I came to a halt before the two deviants.
The rams were big, one had a green shirt with a skull of a ram on it while the other was wearing a black shirt.
Nick was curled up in the form of an asterisk on the ground unmoving as one of the rams went to give him a kick before turning to look at me.
"Beat it rabbit, we are just teaching this predator it's not ok to chase after prey, so hit the road."
The ram with the skull shirt went to Kick Nick again after speaking but at this point I was beyond enraged, enhanced hormones or not he was my friend and possibly more and I was not going to stand by and let some large mammals get away with criminal activity.
"Stop what you are both doing or I will arrest you, I am officer Judy Hopps of the ZPD step away from the fox who was helping me catch a criminal, the bunny next to you."
My words gave them pause as they looked at me then back at Nick.
The ram in the black shirt belted out in a cold stern voice, "you mean you are defending this piece of trash?"
He started to come closer to me and I stood my ground while surveying my surroundings encase I needed to defend myself from the two.
"We don't care for pred sympathizers either just grab her," the one with the green shirt shouted while resuming his assault on Nick.
As soon as the big ram with the black shirt went to grab me I quickly dodged under his grasp and was behind him twisting my body around in the blink of an eye.
"Huh, hey where did she go," the assailant shouted while turning around.
Using his body mass to my advantage I threw a punch at the back of his knee causing his leg to buckle as he shifted mid turn.
"Oww!"
The downed ram spiraled onto the ground in a spectacular fashion however the other ram watched his friend go down and had came up behind me and wrapped his hoofed paw around my neck.
I choked while struggling in his hold then suddenly his grip loosened and I fell to the ground almost at the same time as the ram who had ahold of me.
Behind the fallen body of the ram I saw him holding a pipe in his paws, my fox, my savior, the one who seems to always be there to save me like some knight in shiny floral shirt.
My heart was beating so fast I almost didn't feel him pick me up in his big strong paws.
"Carrots are you ok?"
Batting my eyelashes lovingly at him I responded in kind, "only when I'm with you."
Acting as if he didn't hear me I confessed my feelings to him in the middle of a dirty dingy alleyway, to a fox of all mammals.
"Nick, I am in love with you!"
Setting me down on the ground I waited on bated breath for his reply only I had a sinking feeling as his face resumed its stock smirk.
"Aw now that's sweet, I hope the suppressants help you when you get them."
My face welled up as tears lightly flowed from my eyes, my paws gripped onto his fur as I yanked on him to see me eye to eye.
"Nick I mean it, I have never felt like this about any-," he cut me off with a wave of his paw, "just hurry up and call the fuzz I don't need any pity for being what I am."
"Nick stop, you're not like them, you're not that kind of predator."
His voice was raised up a notch while proudly standing tall.
"It's always the same with any girl I save and I don't want the same look of regret on your face like every other female who has 'fallen in love with me'. I just can't bare to see you hate me because I like you too much, my world is not for someone good, like you."
I couldn't stop my tears as I flopped to the ground sobbing.
"Please don't leave me," I pleaded for him on my knees.
With a sigh from him as flashing lights came from the road, officers Mchorn and Wolford came down the alleyway just as Nick turned to look at me.
"Good bye Carrots, it's better off this way so just quit while you're ahead."
I blinked and he was gone, had walked out of the alleyway and out of my life just as quickly as he had come into it.
Without a second thought I pulled out my phone to call him his number was saved from messaging me this time, only to hear something buzzing in the corner of the alleyway and the longer I let it ring the longer the buzzing continued till I crept over to the buzzing noise and fished out Nick's buzzing phone from a small pile of garbage.
Loudly I wept and both approaching officers exchanged looks of distress at hearing my wailing cries.
Wolford taking the lead helped me up as I continued to snivel out profusely.
"Shh now, it's ok, can you tell us what happened?"
The wolf's cooing words were drown out by my sobbing as I blurted out my issue.
"H- he left- ma- me, I - he-," my words got stuck in my throat as I tried again.
"Nick left me. I need my fox, please bring him back!"
The ram with the black shirt had recovered and was standing up, he then snickered loudly, "fox's all need to be muzzled just like this wo-, ah ahh."
Officer Mchorn picked up the tiny ram up by his throat and squeezed tightly then tossed him to the ground while snorting, "mind you tongue speciesist."
Not even Mchorn defending Nick stopped me from crying and Wolford even left the alleyway to check and see if the red fox was within eyesight but came trotting back shaking his muzzle.
After a few minutes to calm down I explained to my fellow officers what had happened then was escorted to the cruiser where Wolford called in for backup.
As I leaned up against the cruiser I rubbed Nick's phone in my paws as if it was a magic lamp and had hopped that my dumb fox would magically appear.
But this was no magical fairy tail, this life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true, I would have to just let it go.
Gripping the phone tightly to the point the plastic made a grinding sound I shook my head definitely while talking to no one.
"I don't know when to quit."
After looking at his phone and failing to guess his password I began looking for a cab while thinking 'if he thinks he can run from this bunny he has another thing coming'.
As the yellow cab pulled up and I got in a raccoon driver glanced back at me.
"Where to toots?"
A smile crossed my face while saying my destination.
"ZFD please."
The raccoon turned on the meter and started driving while speaking as if he had said it to a million mammals, "no problem honey."
The ride was short and within twenty minutes I was yet again standing before the fire department only this time I was on a different mission than eating dinner with a certain red fox.
I paid for the fair and got out of the cab feeling slightly nervous.
Crossing the long driveway to one of the open doors a loud whistle rang out from inside while someone yelled out, "hotty in coming."
The wolf that was hanging around Nick soon trotted out to greet me before I lost my nerve.
"Hi - uh Richard was it?"
Nodding politely he wiped his paws on his pants and asked me the question I wanted to know more than anything at that moment.
"Where's Nick? I thought lover boy was hanging out with you today?"
I raised an eyebrow at the wolf while repeating something he said.
"Loverboy huh, why would you call him that?"
Someone from inside the firehouse yelled out loudly, "because he's in love with a little bunny."
Richard glared back into the firehouse causing a loud resounding, "sorry," to sound out.
Shaking my head while playing this to my advantage I started to grill the wolf.
"Would you happen to know where my fox would be hiding? He's playing a game of hide and go seek and it's my turn to be it but gee, I don't have a clue as to where he could be."
I talked in the most innocent of ways while looking my cutest and without fail the answers came flooding in.
"Well if you can't find Wilde maybe check with his parents they live at one, nine, five, five Cypress Grove Lane and if they are no help maybe find his friend Finnick who is normally parked in the back alley around Savanna Square."
Writing all the information down on my little note pad I thanked the wolf. "Thanks you have been a really big help and I promise I won't tell him I got help from you."
He laughed while shaking his head, "no problem, in fact be sure to ask him out around here so I can get some more money off of him.
At that the wolf laughed again while making his way back into the firehouse while I returned to the cab that had stuck around.
Getting back into the cab the raccoon piped up again.
"Where to next sweetie?"
I quickly pulled out my notepad and gulped loudly while repeating what I wrote down.
"One, nine, five, five Cypress Grove Lane."
He whistled loudly while turning on the meter, "no problem darlin."
The raccoons pet names for me seemed to change each time and I got a little curious as to why he whistled.
"what was the whistling for?"
Chuckling the raccoon tipped his brown cabbie hat while looking in the rearview mirror at me.
"Never would have guessed that a bunny would want to head over to the Wilde's household."
That caught me off guard and I suddenly got a tad bit more nervous the farther down this proverbial rabbit hole I went.
My curiosity kept on going strong while he drove.
"What kind of mammals are the Wilde's?"
Scratching his ear he then held out his paw, "five bucks this is a taxi not a gossip wagon."
My meager savings were dwindling fast on this trip but I sighed while digging out the desired amount and pawed it over.
Almost instantly the little raccoon turned into a regular chatterbox.
"The Wilde's are a decent size family as far as predators go and a long line of professionalism to boot, Dr. Vivian Wilde and Mr. Robert Wilde have three kids."
Taking a turn and a drink from a styrofoam cup the raccoon went on.
"The youngest son would be Robert Jr. I hear he is studying so he can be a cop one day while the next oldest is his sister Marian she works down at the hospital most of the time as an EMT and as for the oldest who I hear resents the family after taking up firefighting when his father got hurt and retired after a bad fire accident is Nick.
My ears twitched at the sound of hearing Nicks name mentioned and it forced me to want more.
"What can you tell me about Nick?"
My question seemed to peak the raccoons interest.
"why the interest in a fox family particularly a fox that holds more secrets than myself?"
I decided to mess with the cabbie by being completely honest.
"I am in love with Nick even though he ran from me and now I am going to use his family to locate him.
As soon as I spoke I had to cover my ears, laugher upon laughter spilled out of the raccoon's mouth then he responded jokingly, "ok no need to tell such whoppers to me miss, I don't think my heart can deal with another jab like that."
I only smiled back at the driver while waiting to hear more about Nick.
Clearing his throat the raccoon went on with his prattling.
"Nick Wilde, dubbed the oldest son, has basically two lives in this city while he does keep a clean record and is a fire mammal and helps out the community he also has a knack for selling things from rugs and building material to pawsicles and cheap directions to anywhere in the city with one phone call."
The more I heard the more interested in the fox I got however before anymore info was shared the driver pulled up to a very big warehouse in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Savanna Central and the rain forest district.
Being a little confused I questioned the raccoon who only nodded at a metal mail box that was made for a mammal much bigger than a fox but labeled with the family's name.
As I paid the cabbie he tipped his hat while motioning me to come close.
"Now mind your manners in there and be sure to tell Vivian Old Trigger sends his regards now off with ya."
At that the cabbie sped off leaving me in an empty lot with a looming big gray warehouse in front of me.
Gulping while not knowing what to expect I marched forward while looking every which way for any movement but finding nothing and no one outside as I got closer to a big metal door that looked like it was on a sliding track of some sort.
Thinking to myself 'well maybe his family is a little poor like my family' sure we have a big farm but it doesn't provide the family with vast wealth, however you also don't see us living in rundown warehouses with cameras, there's a camera following me.
I followed the movement of the camera as it followed me and I failed to take notice of how close I was to the door when a voice from a tiny metal box rang out.
"May I help you?"
The voice was female and I felt a deep chill run down my spine before replying.
"I am here looking for the Wilde's residence?"
A moment past before the voice sounded out again, "which Wilde and what is the nature of your business with said mammal?"
Taking a deep breath not wanting to lose my cool I responded in kind while showing my biggest brightest smile.
"I'm looking for Nick, my business is um, it's personal."
A sharp reply came back shocking me.
"He doesn't live here, please leave."
That was the last straw I most definitely did not get all the way out here only to be turned away at the door.
I didn't stop when I wanted to be a police officer and I wasn't about to stop chasing after my fox just because he's a fox and thinks he shouldn't be with a bunny from what other mammals say.
My eyes narrowed and I made a fist and before I had any other thoughts my paw was banging on the door, "open this door and tell me where he is," I demanded now in a stern voice while glaring back at the camera.
The pleasant voice that spilled out from the box was a tad bit angry now.
"Stop that banging or I will be forced to call the ZPD!"
I instantly yelled back as loud as I could.
"I am the ZPD!"
Some shuffling could be heard behind the door, sounds of a female's voice and a kids voice arguing now and then the big door slid open and a fox muzzle stuck itself out into the open doorway then in a rather high pitched tone the kit screamed, not in terror but in joy.
"Ayyye!"
"It's her, it's you, you're her, you're the bunny cop Judy Hopps right?"
A red fox kit made his way out and shook my paw before I could utter a word.
Then I remember everything the raccoon said, "hi Robert Jr is your big brother home?"
It was like dealing with a mini Clawhauser after I spoke.
"Oh my, she knows my name, she knows my brother," I failed to notice him get out his phone and flashed a photo of me.
"Mom, take my picture, PLEASE!"
My ears swiveled in the direction of the door and a very beautiful red vixen stood in the doorway her arms were crossed and she had a smug smirk on her face, in fact she looked just like Nick save for a purple sweater and brown skirt she was wearing.
Removing the overexcited fox kit who was wearing a mock police uniform from my side I dusted my paws on my shirt and held out one to her for a paw shake.
"Mrs. Wilde, Old Trigger sends his regards and I'm sorry for pounding on your door, it was very rude of me."
She seemed to relax at that and slowly extended her paw but as she took mine in hers she pulled me forward with a strong yank and took a deep sniff of me.
"Um what are you do-."
After smelling me she released her hold on me and sighed while slowly laughing, "so that's what's going on huh, I can smell him all over you."
My cheeks felt hot and I was pretty sure the inside of my ears had turn a rosy shade of pink in the process.
Waving my paws and trying to dissuade any misunderstandings, "we're just friends I have only known him for forty eight hours or so just two days we never did any-."
Vivian waved her paw as if I was an open book and she was done reading the final chapter.
"My son does not imprint on just anyone now tell me what is going on? Why are you looking for him?"
I was a little taken aback by her words, "what imprint? I never felt him do anything to me other than-."
As if she expected me to not have any clue she moved inside the door while calling out to me from the dark room that lay beyond.
Robert Jr took hold of my paw while dragging me inside before I could muster enough courage to go in myself.
The big door shut and for a moment I couldn't see anything but the little kit was pulling me forward and after a few moments another door was shifted open and a very beautiful living room the size of a football field was laid out before me as a grand chandelier lit up the giant one room house.
Looking around the extravagant house before me I noticed a metal spiral staircase leading up to an upper level that looked like it had ten small rooms with closed doors, a kitchen was all the way at the other end of the house but took up most of the far wall.
A big room on the far right was open and looked from a distance to be a very large bathroom.
It was a very lovely home and I was so speechless I didn't even notice I was still holding the kits paw.
"Come on, hurry up my room is this way."
Vivian cleared her throat loudly making Robert Jr stop dead in his tracks.
Pointing to a room up top she called out like a drill sergeant.
"Homework first, then make your bed, then clean your room and if she is still here and feels like it she will see your room."
Dropping my paw and dashing quickly upstairs the kit made it to his room then a door in the middle closed loudly while rustling could be heard.
Shaking her head Vivian motioned for me to follow her towards a big couch set as a black set of ears twitched behind a recliner while we made our way closer.
A male voice a little deeper than Nicks spilled out from the chair.
"Oh honey dinner smells fantastic tonight what are you making-," he stopped talking while looking around the chair arm and saw me then the vixen who was now sporting a very unhappy scowl.
Before I could blink she crossed the short distance to the chair and smacked the back of his head.
"Stop being rude to our guest dear."
"Oww."
I came around and held my paw out to the male fox.
"Judy Hopps, Mr. Wilde you have a beautiful home although the outside is very misleading and the area looks abandoned."
He shook my paw back while greeting me.
"Robert Wilde, welcome to my den, sorry for the lawn outside I can't get around like I used to," at that he motioned towards his right leg that had a brace on it and a shiny black cane that lay across his lap.
"Oh my," I gasped loudly while looking at him only for him to chuckle and shake his head.
"Quite alright sweetheart, now then what brings a fine upstanding officer to our little abode?"
Vivian cut in before I could say anything.
"She's here to call on our boy who seems to have ditched her after imprinting."
He sighed deeply while tilting his head towards me, "sorry for my sons rude behavior, we don't see him much nowadays, not since he took to being a firefighter in my stead."
I sat down on the edge of the long couch and let go of a breath of air I had been holding, my lead towards finding Nick was coming up short.
A personalized beep rang out from my pocket breaking the silence in the large room making both fox parents look at me in utter surprise.
Both yelled in unison.
"Nick's phone!"
I fished the useless phone out of my pocket and pawed it over to Robert's open paw while asking the elephant size question, "do you know the password?"
Both shook their heads but Robert scratched his chin for a moment, "I don't but I know someone who might be able to get it unlocked."
He pushed on the message that had popped up it was a response from Finnick however the attached picture was displayed as well and it caused the old fox to bust out laughing.
Showing his wife his sons phone caused her to giggle then asked me if I was into females as well as males making me face paw as the thought of that unholy picture being plastered out on the web for all to see.
I quickly needed to steer the conversation back to finding their son for their sake and mine.
"So about his phone, who do you know that could help unlock it?"
Passing back his son's phone to me with a smile and pulling out his own phone Robert went on.
"Give me twenty minutes to set things up, Vi can you whip us up some blueberry pie slices and take the cute little bunny with you."
I puffed out my cheeks to protest at his blatant disregard for calling a bunny cute when they were not another bunny, it was so demeaning however Vivian stopped me, "let's leave that dumb fox to do his thing and when he comes through for us, then we can let him have it."
I nodded sullenly and followed Nick's mother to the kitchen area.
"Why does Nick stay away from here? This is a very nice warm and welcoming home I am failing to understand something I take it?"
Vivian looked at a picture that hung on the kitchen wall, a family photo if I had to guess by the looks of it.
A younger Nick maybe in his twenties stood proudly next to his father who had both legs in working order and two vixens stood next to them holding paws and all had smiles. The young Robert Jr was nowhere to be seen however upon closer inspection I could make out the baby bump.
"Yes times were different back then," Vivian went on while lost in the picture.
Nick was the only one who was not wearing some kind of uniform and that seemed out of place with his mother wearing her doctor's coat the daughter an EMT shirt while the father had on a fire mammals jacket and Nick was sporting his green floral pattern shirt.
Shaking her head she spoke with sincerity, "when he was younger we thought he would be either a police officer or a business mammal because that boy if he had something he would find someone to buy it. He used to make pawsicles when he was younger and would come home with a big wad of money but by the time this photo was taken he desperately wanted to be a cop however."
I guessed what had happen.
"Robert got hurt?"
Nodding in agreement she went back to preparing the pies giving me a moment to look around the house some more, wooden panels lined the walls giving the place a homely feel to it prompting me to ask the vixen who was halfway in a fridge about the house.
"How did you guys happen upon this place?"
Vivian had a warm smile much like Nick would do when he wasn't smirking.
"We bought it from my son and made it our home. He had some idea to make a theme park but felt that we could make this into something better and he was right."
The reminiscing looked like it was putting a toll on the older fox so I tried taking the conversation in a different direction yet again all while she gave me a small plate with a decent sized slice of pie.
Making our way back to the couch I was curious about the rest of Nick's family however no sooner had I taken a bite of the wonderful pie did the sliding door open and a younger vixen came barreling in laughing while spouting out loudly.
"You're never going to guess who asked me to bandage them up today."
The further into the house she came the more her nose twitched.
"Wow mom, dinner smells great tonight what are we ha-," she stopped talking while dropping a small bag on the ground.
Her eyes met mine and for a moment neither of ours flinched.
Vivian piped up ending the silence.
"Sweetie we have a guest so mind your manners, this is officer Judy Hopps."
Staying silent the vixen walked closer to me and repeated almost the same reaction as Vivian, her nose took in air deeply and then her face turned into the biggest smile.
"Whoa, well that explains everything now."
Robert who had just hung up his phone turned to look at his daughter while beating her to the punch.
"You patched up Nickolas today and he smelled like rabbit?"
I tried to cover my tail while stuttering out to defend myself.
"I- we- he, all of the kissing was purely accidental, they were subsequently a happenstance, like when he saved me from the fire or when he was scared at the hospital and tried to run away, I don't really know what he was going for at my apartment but my neighbor distracted us an-."
All three sets of eyes were fixated on me and it caused me to stop mid sentence.
Thinking to myself over all the things I had just said made me bite my lower lip 'sweet cheese and crackers that all sounded bad'.
The younger vixen and Vivian spoke at the same time.
"You got him into a hospital?"
Both girls started talking to each other while slowly walking away.
Robert coughed to get my attention as I was clearly distracted by some of the things they were saying.
Writing down a few things the older fox pawed the paper over to me, "this is a friend of mine over in Little Rodentia, he's good with electronics so he should be able to get Nick's phone unlocked."
I quickly gave Robert a hug while grabbing the paper, "thank you, thank you for this."
The movement must have caught the girl's attention making Vivian sound out her disapproval loudly.
"Ahem, let go of the bunny you dirty old fox."
His paws let go and were fanned out into the open allowing me room to escape.
"Parish the thought my dear, I meant no harm."
I laughed at the whole ordeal, "sorry for getting you in trouble."
Robert tapped his cane on the floor while growling out his daughter's name.
"Marian, where is he!"
Plopping down on the couch I watched the young vixen give me a sideways glance before telling the story.
"It was the end of my shift and we were eating at that restaurant over on Clover St. He walked up to the back of the truck and plopped himself down on the gurney and after I looked him over I was surprised he even got off of it.
She turned to her mother who held her paws to her muzzle, chewing nervously on her long claws.
"He had bruising all over his chest and shoulders from being blown out of a window during a fire call, his tail was burnt but that's his problem, at least three of his lower ribs are broken and I helped him pop his arm back into joint form 'breaking down a hospital door."
Marian looked at me now while continuing, "he smelled heavily like bunny and he was hiding it but he looked depressed and maybe heart broken."
At that she stood up and pointed a questioning claw at me.
"Did you break my brothers heart?"
Shaking my head and waving my arms drastically I denied any wrong doings.
"He left me in an alleyway after helping me catch a criminal who had drugged and tried to rape me at the hospital, some speciesist rams were bulling him when he cornered the jerk and they might have gotten under his fur, but I took care of one while he took out the other and then I-."
My face fell to staring at the ground while I finished the story.
"I told him I loved him and he left me saying he couldn't be with me because he's a fox, I need to talk with him as soon as possible, I don't care that he's a fox."
My out burst caused my eyes to swell up and I made my way over to the door not willing to face his family anymore.
A paw the same size as mine crept onto my clenched fist and when I looked down between tear filled eyes a small fox face with the same set of brilliant greens that I longed for shown back at me, Robert Jr was there.
"Who did it!"
The little fox shouted at his family while holding onto my paw.
He yelled again.
"Who made her cry. I swear I will never forgive yo-."
I put my free paw on his mouth and kissed his forehead, "it's nothing they did sweetie."
I waved at the rest of Nick's family while opening the door, "thanks for helping but I really must be off to find him, bu bye."
As I left I thought 'I will find my fox'.
The door to the warehouse was almost shut when a red paw stopped it.
"Stupid door!"
Marian's voice rang out as she pushed the door open enough for her to slip out.
"Need a lift?"
She said while she jerked a paw at a smaller warehouse on the side as she was catching up to me.
