A dawn rises upon the city, but behind the clouds. Lucy didn't went home that day, she knew it's gonna be a mess, somehow in her room. So she slept on a bench in the mall, using Lance's tail as a pillow.
"Hey, wake up! You're eating my tail!"
Lance barely slept at all, mostly because Lucy pushed him off the bench ten minutes after she fell asleep and took his tail as a pillow. He didn't mind at first, he played on his phone until it dies. Soon after that he felt extremely bored and tired. Though the uncomfortable he still managed to fall asleep on the ground, he been through worst in military school. He didn't know that it was, he felt his tail was bleeding and he was right, Lucy had sharp teeth for a animal that is not supposed to eat fish. She apparently was hungry, most animal walked by and looked at them, Lance saw the sun rising through a window, behind the buildings of the center of the city. He carried Lucy when he sees yelling at she isn't gonna wake her up.
"This is so embarrassing."
He walked to straight to the station, so they won't be late for work, it didn't took long, but it sure did make lots of animals turn around and look at him.
"Hey Benjamin, you're here early."
"I know, they have a buy one get one free on donuts this morning so I decided why not? It's saving money." He said it while chowing down some corn flakes.
Lance smiled awkwardly at him, and pointed at his neck. "Not for long if you keep getting them stuck in your neck and forgetting about them."
Benjamin wiped his neck and a few donuts fell out, some of them probably days ago.
"Keep an eye on those donuts, I'll see you around." He laid Lucy down on a sofa in the resting area and poured himself some coffee.
"Seriously Lance, what's with you and this girl?"
"Friends, really good friends." Vera smiled, "No, you two have something deeper then, 'only friends.'"
"Really? What about you and Sirien?"
"Lance he's my boyfriend since last June."
"So, you two are a thing now?" Vera rolled her eye and Lance seemed a bit frighten.
"You should've know this- get back here!"
Lance dashed out of the room to upstairs the other side of the hallway, his office.
"He needs to be taught a lesson."
"I agree Vera." The creepy sound came behind Vera, she felt her fur went straight up, her ears on full alert and the fact Lucy made she can't stop shaking.
"What is it Vera? You seem like a bit scared." A bit? You scared the living soul out of me! She silently yelled in her mind.
"When did you wake up?"
"Soon enough to see Lance running out of the room, now come on let's get to work."
Lucy chugged the rest of the coffee down her throat, Vera sat down on the sofa.
"I just barely dodged a bullet."
She soon calmed herself down and went out to buy some chemical and on the way out she saw a bunny with a black dress talking to Benjamin at the front.
"Hey, can I help you?"
"Yes, I understand Judy Hopps works here can you tell me where her office is?"
"You're not allowed in there."
"It's a family matter, if you're not gonna help I'll find her myself."
"Upstairs 208, Nick maybe in there if you're scared of foxes, just warning you."
"If one thing I am, is not scared of anything." Her tone was a bit warning.
"How old are you?"
"22, what do you care?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Vera went out the front door, and Aura went to her office.
"Ms. Hopps you have a visitor." Benjamin called Judy before Aura went in so she have at least a second to prepare what's coming. The door slammed open, a few files fell from the table to the ground, petals of the flower dropped onto the pot.
"Do I know you?"
"Yes, I'm supposed to be your sister." Judy took a closer look at her
"Aura? Mom and Dad are looking for you all over the place what are you doing here?"
"Like you, getting out of that place."
"Hey Judy, who's this?"Nick entered the room with a cup of coffee freshly made from the resting area,
"This is Aura, my sister, and that's-"
"Nick Wilde I presume?"
"Y-yes, have we met before?"
"Probably not, first fox officer."Aura smiled, faked it of course. Nick scratched his neck uncomfortably.
"You sure know lot about me for someone I haven't met before."
"I agree."Aura turned to Judy again.
"We have some catching up to do, you mind having dinner with me sis?"
"Sure, can Nick come?"
"This is more of a family dinner don't you think?"
"Well yeah if you say it that way, sorry Nick."
"Great, I'll pick you up at six."Aura slided down the handlebar of the stairs, and ran out of the building.
"A bit weird of her don't you think?"
"I have more than 200 sisters Nick, there's is gotta be one or two weird ones."
"You have a point, are you gonna take her back to your parents farm?"
"I'll at least try to convince her, if no maybe she will be living with us. To be honest I never really seen her around the farm when I was young."
"That sounded even more wired. Well, keep working you got a big night coming up."
Nick exited the room, thinking of stalking them so everything turns out right.
5:50 PM, ZPD
Aura was at the front door, sitting on Benjamin's desk playing on her phone, most likely texting someone.
Judy finished her work early, she waved at Aura from her office. Aura nodded slightly and texted Jack.
"Your bait is almost ready."
Aura grabbed Judy's hand running as far as away before Judy have noticed something.
"Where are we actually going?" Judy had saw no animals passing by for the past ten minutes.
"No where, now if you don't resist I can finish this much faster." Aura pushed Judy to the ground, covering her mouth and nose with one hand. Judy punched Aura with a heavy strike, but it did nothing at all, Aura fought back with grabbing her arm and nearly breaking it!
"Mmm!"
Judy couldn't catch a single breathe out of the fight, soon she blacked out.
Aura took out her phone and called Jack, "Come and pick me up, I got what you want."
Nick sneaked in while Neilson was on a break and saw all of this right before Aura's ride arrived.
Aura looked at the and shot it down, soon Nick only have a black screen, there was nothing to track them, the car's number pad was taken of, it's planned so well. Nick covered his face,"I should've know better!"
Tear burst out of him, he swore he won't cry after what happened to him when he was still a little kid, but he did plenty of times.
He shaked his head, "I must've been dreaming, how did this happen?"
"Nick, why are you in here?"
"It doesn't matter Neilson, please call Chief Bogo for me, it's important."
In less then a minute Bogo appeared in the room,"Nick! What's the situation?"
Nick hold his head said every word slow and clearly,"Judy got kidnapped."
He showed him the video, still holding his head with one hand.
"We need to plan a rescue."
"We can't track them, we got nothing."
"We have the cameras, I'll keep an eye on the car, you guys go get planning."
"I have to do this alone." Nick's one foot stepped out of the room
"Nonsense Wilde! You're not gonna do this alone! Judy means something to all of us."
Nick's heart shocked, maybe there is something good about Bogo.
"We'll figure something out, now come on, we're all gonna help to save her."
"Thank you Chief."
"Now let's get planning." Bogo pats Nick in the back, to comfort him, Nick smiled slightly, went into his office and locked the door. As soon as he heard nothing from outside, he broke down. His keels fell straight to the floor with the hot tears that won't stop falling. If he still was the fox that sells popsicle on the street, he won't cry, especially for a bunny, but it's all different now. She saved her life, gave him a job and shelter, even a honor of the 'First fox officer'
"Get your games together Nick." Nick said to himself, punched the ground, whipped his tears off and start going through the video, trying to find as much information as he can.
Lucy's house 8:00 PM
"Hey Lucy, have you heard?"
"Heard what? I still haven't have dinner yet."
"What have you been doing all afternoon?"
"My room is a mess Lance, who know what your sister and my brother did in this room."
"Well Chief just texted me, he wants us at the station."
"Really? At this time? What's it about?" Lucy threw a half ripen pillow that is wet.
"They say Judy got kidnapped and wants us to help with a plan."
"Kidnapped? What happened?"
"I have no more information, let's go, meet you at the station."
"On it, see you then."Lucy took out the trash and looked back at her room, still a huge mess. She sighed and took the bus to the station.
Lance entered the place before Lucy, the station was more crowded then he think, almost everyone was here, even some of the SWAT members.
"Anymore information then kidnapped?" Lucy tapped Lance on the shoulder, "I don't know I just got here too."
"Neilson is keeping track on it, the rest are are either helping him or comforting Nick."
"I'll go help Nick, he's my old classmate he'll listen to me."
Lance went into the camera room helping Neilson to track down The kidnappers, Lucy went upstairs found out a crowd blocked outside of Nick's office door.
"Lucy help us, he won't open the door." She is a SWAT member, black paws, a short thin tail with self painted pick spots, a Caribou.
"He doesn't know I'm here right Annie?"
"No, he doesn't what are you-"
"Is his window open?"
"Yes, but you're not gonna-"
Lucy took a shortcut under Nick's office's window, she jumped and grabbed on a pipe, climbed above his window and swung herself into his room.
"Hey tough guy, What's wrong?"
"Judy! That's what's wrong!" Nick pointed his gun at her and growled
"Alright Nick, calm down now." Lucy closed in and took his gun away.
I'll help you getting her back, let's see that you have found."
"That you'll have to ask Neilson, I have nothing here, I only know the kidnapper is Judy's sister, Aura."
"That's something, do you have her personal information file?"
"I've read it, nothing in there besides her name and gone missing four years ago."
Another cold case fell on Nick's shoulder, he opened the door and made his way through the crowd, outside to the streets, Lucy followed him to Judy's apartment.
"Thank you for your escort Lucy, I'll be fine."
Lucy stood by the door for a while and then left without a sound. Nick bought out his laptop viewing the news on the internet, putting a stuffed bunny toy on the left side. The news haven't spread yet, but a secret can only hold that long from the public. Once again his mind was full of tracking Judy and getting her back. He didn't know, he broke his sworn once again that night.
