"Nick Wilde…" He picked up the phone.
"Wilde" he recognized Bogo's voice "There is wolf who wants to talk with you and with Hopps."
"Who is that?" He asked
"He just said, he's working for the ApolloSystems. We're checking now, what's he talking about."
"Ok, I think we can go there."
"Is Hopps okay?"
"Yes, she is okay now. Give us 30 mins"
"Okay." They hanged up.
"Who was it?" Judy walked in and asked.
"Bogo. He want us to go to the station. Someone wants to talk with us"
"Oh. We should go then… You know how is Bogo when he is angry" She laughed
"Wilde! Paperwork for a month!" They both laughed.
30 minutes later they arrived to the station. They just walked in, but Clawhauser immediately ran to greet Nick and Judy as he noticed them.
"Nick! Judy!"
"Clawhauser!" She smiled.
"How are you guys?"
"I'm okay now. 1 or 2 days and we'll be back at work again, don't we Nick?"
"Uhm… Yes, we will." Nick sighed. he enjoyed this little free time. As they talked, someone interrupted.
"Officer Wilde and Officer Hopps, I'm right?." They looked up, for a wolf.
"Yeah… You are the one who want to talk with us?"
"Yes. My name is Nikolav. I working for the ApolloSystems… If I can call it work. The leader of the company wants to talk with you two. I met with Chief Bogo earlier, he said there is no problem."
They went out from the station, and get in a car. In the car, there was a radio, they heard something from it:
"467, target located. Go to Oakwood street, Tundratown."
"Okay, I'm on my way with 468" Nikolav turned the radio off.
An hour later, they stopped in front of a building.
"Here we go… Just follow me, and leave the speech on me, ok?" They nodded.
As they entered the building, a security staff stopped them.
"Sorry sir, this area is locked. You can enter but guests cant."
"Mr. Sal wants to see them. Check it." The guard turned to them, and put his gun away.
"Name?"
"Nick Wilde, and Judy Hopps" She answered.
"Mmm. Okay, you two can enter." The guard inserted his card into a scanner, and a door opened.
"Come on." The wolf said. The entered to a long corridor. It was kinda dark, because of the dark blue lights.
"Uhm… Can I ask something?" Nick asked.
"Sure. Depends on what is it."
"How that guard checked us? I mean there was nothing…"
"Oh, you saw his helmet? That plexi is a screen. Basically you can control everything with a helmet like that, you just have to think, and look at something." He answered. Nick and Judy looked on each other. They were wondering where they are.
They turned to another corridor, this was white. At the end of it, there was a glass wall, and a door. Nikolav pressed a button, and the door opened. It was an office. A fox sat in a chair, back to them. He was watching some screens with informations, like camera feeds.
"Well, I guess the traffic was low. You arrived earlier than I thought." He stood up, and walked to them.
"Mr. Sal. Charmed." He kissed Judy's paw. She blushed from the gesture.
"Judy Hopps. Nice to meet you" She answered. Then the fox turned to Nick.
"You have very good taste in these things, I have to say." he winked.
"Mr. Sal"
"Nicholas Wilde" He grabbed the fox's paw.
"Soo, I think you wondering why I wanted to meet with you two, right?"
"Yes…" She said.
"Take a seat please." They sat down.
"Niko? Please bring this papers to the maintenance droids, okay?"
"Yes sir." He left to room.
"So… I have some interesting things for you two."
"What do you mean?" Nick asked.
"Hehehe. Slow down, we have plenty of time." He grabbed a plate. "Grapes, blueberries, I only have these right now. If you want to eat something, just grab some."
"So, as I said" He sat in his chair, and fixed his tie "there are few things about this company, and about you two, oh and don't forget a third person."
"Start with the first?" She asked.
"I didn't offered any chance, but as you wish." He smiled. For Nick it was a little irritating.
"Let's say, I offer a job for you two. Nothing extra, just the leader of a squad. And some bonus, like controlling these droids." A screen turned on, and showed some droids. Police class, maintenance class… Few classes, informations from them, and how they look like in the inside.
"Of course you will be still officers. Just two payment. Extra power. Sometimes a little bit extra danger tho, but the droids can handle everything if you want."
"We can't just decide i-"
"Yes, we accept it." She said. Nick looked at her. He was worried.
"We will talk about this later, okay?" She whimpered to Nick. He nodded.
"Second. I almost forgot. You two are welcome. We saved your lives."
"OH, yes, I wanted to thank you that!" She said with a smile. She was grateful because that. Nick too.
"So, You know Jack Savage?" As the fox said his name, Nick ears perked up.
"Yes we know. What's with him?" Nick asked.
"Try to avoid Jack, if you can."
"Why?" She asked, with a serious and confused face.
"Because he ki-" The fox couldn't finish his sentence, because an alarm sound started to rang suddenly. He stood up, and walked to the screens.
"Traf center, local cams down. T-10 seconds." They saw a wolf as he looked up into a street camera. Few second later, the screen turned to black, with a "Please stand by" text on it. Another few seconds, and the picture switched to another camera.
Two fox in a car, in Tundratown. They had to find a guy. As they drove, one of them noticed the guys, who they are looking for. The driver stopped the car, and they got out. Luckily they don't really had to talk to understand each other.
"Mr. Savage!" One of them yelled, while the other one grabbed his phone and his radio.
"Traf center, local cams down. T-10 seconds."
"Roger, noted." They looked on each other and nodded. He put the radio back in his suit. Then he did something on his phone. His teammate saw everything in his glasses. It was a special glass, with built in screen. He saw the devices near them, and how they connected. He saw a line between his teammate's phone and the street security camera. Few seconds later a warning appeared on the screen. It said the camera is disconnected. But there was something strange.
"Jack!"
"Sshhh… Look at him. He is probably too drunk to understand anything."
"I'll give it a try" He walked closer, and grabbed Jack's shoulder.
"Huh? What do you want, fox?" Jack turned around. He forced himself not to fell.
"Mr. Sal sent us." His ears perked up. "Just a reminder… You accepted something. Keep yourself to that, else-"
"I don't have anything to do with that damned fox!" He jumped, and hit the fox, who was talking. The fox flied few meters back. He hit his left eye. Jack was surprised, the other fox walked a little backwards and calmly watched what will happen. He knew someone, see everything in the other side of his secret camera. He didn't wanted to cause any other problem. The other fox stood up, holding his paw on his eye. Jack saw, the blood on the fox's paw. He just blinked, and when he opened his eyes, he was pressed to the wall. His two arms was held by the wounded fox. Jack tried to get out, but he knew it's hopeless. As he looked up to the fox, he noticed his reflection… In a green thing, in the place where his eye suppose to be. He saw circles moving, and other stuffs, but it was too small to understand what is it. The fox licked his lips.
"I'll hope ya know why we work out of the camera sights." Jack knew a wrong answer and he is dead.
"I'll need an answer. Are you read or not? 5 seconds."
"I'mmm… I think I'm ready"
"Correct answer. You have few days to prepare. No tricks. We know where you are. We know your every step, before you think about doing it."
"Then why you didn't see my attack?" He smiled.
"You are lucky, you are drunk. Otherwise you would be dead now." he dropped Jack. The foxes walked back to the black car. In the way, the wounded one picked something up, from the ground with his glasses. He turned back.
"The answer is: you aren't enough dangerous to waste my precious energy on you. I'll keep these systems for serious things, not for a bunny." The foxes laughed, quietly.
"We will see, who is not that dangerous." Jack mumbled, and started to walk home, as the car went away.
