Chapter 3
A/N: Just a heads up, the story moves to the more mature side with some explicit language coming from two certain foxes!
When Judy finished tidying Nick's scruffy uniform up, they walked to briefing where they were given their assignments. They were assigned to go on patrol around the city by Bogo. Since Nick was new to the force, Bogo put Judy with Nick to show him what it is about. Nick was very happy with that decision he almost sprang out of his chair with joy in front of Bogo and the rest of the officers in the briefing room. Luckily for him, he managed to contain his excitement and instead, blurted out one of his clever responses.
"Oh sir, you not sure that you should put me with Higgins over there? He looks worried." he said.
Officer Higgins arched an eyebrow at Nick, feeling insulted.
"No, Wilde." boomed Bogo from the front of the room. "Officer Hopps needs to show you what to do in this section of police activity."
"Very well sir." Nick said, with a cool tone.
"Any questions?" asked Bogo. Officer Snarlov began to raise his hand. "Well, don't bother because, I really don't care." Everyone began to chuckle slightly except for Judy and Nick. Well, really Judy. Nick began to snigger until he got punched on the elbow by Judy, signalling him to behave.
Boy, he liked Judy's touch when she made any physical contact with him. He thought it was the only type of punch on the arm he could take and convert it to soft pats on his elbow. He loved her small round head, tall erect ears, pink nose, her slim curvy torso and her purple eyes. Damn, those eyes are so mesmerizing, they hypnotized him whenever he looked at them deeply. Nick was secretly in love with Judy.
"Dismissed." Bogo said as he left the room, slamming the door shut as he walked out.
Everyone started to talk at once, discussing the assignments they were given. Nick and Judy followed them out of the briefing room and headed towards the garage where the cruisers, parking duty vehicles and SWAT vans were. Judy unlocked their cruiser and then opened the door. But there was a slight problem, she was not that tall enough to get in the cruiser without struggling. Judy hated the way that car doors were a bit too high for her reach so she can get in with ease.
Judy tried to get in to the drivers seat of the cruiser, but once again, she struggled. Nick saw her struggle and went over to help her get in. "Here, let me help." he said. He took her by her torso and picked her up to place her into the drivers seat. He was struggling to let go of her. He thought her build was so perfect, yet fragile.
"What's up. Nick?" questioned Judy, looking concerned.
"Oh, it's nothing" Nick said, quickly removing his paws of her. "Just wanted to make sure that I got you in the car alright."
"Aw, thanks Nick! You are really helpful to other people." said Judy smiling as she put her paw on his shoulder. Nick started to melt like warm butter inside as he soaked in every second of Judy's soft and delicate touch.
"Well, are you getting or not, partner?" Judy asked excitedly.
Nick's heart nearly exploded when she said 'partner'. He totally thought of a different meaning of partner when she said it.
"Oh, yeah. Can't wait to get started carrots!" Nick said giddily.
As Nick got in the car, strapped on his seat belt, the cruiser started up. Judy pulled on the gear stick and stamped her foot on the acceleration. The car speeded out of the garage, nearly as fast as they Flash went in his car the other day when Judy rejoined the force. They went on to the main road to their lookout position. They were there in a blur.
Judy pulled up in a dark alleyway and put the car into park. Judy took her binoculars out of the glove box and began to keep lookout.
"So... what do we do on patrol?" Nick asked, knowingly what to do. He just wanted to hear her talk.
"Oh, it's very simple Nick." Judy said "You just have to keep look out for any suspicious activity. Just like I did when I watched you sell those pawpsicles to those lemming fellow a week ago."
Nick's eyes widened, his smile still growing. He forgot about that week. Damn, was that a week to remember. That was the first time he laid his eyes on Judy. When she butted in to that argument at the ice cream parlour, that was the moment he first saw her.
"And when you sold those sticks to the construction site claiming that it was redwood, and you melting the giant pawpsicle on that rooftop in Tundra Town, and the-"
"Okay, I get the idea gobby!" said Nick sarcastically giving her a gentle noogie. She giggled as she pushed him away gently.
"You have all the time in the world to give me noogies," said Judy. "but now is not the time!" She place her binoculars back on and carried on her lookout for any criminals or any wrongdoing.
Nick sighed heavily with love as he leaned back in his chair when Judy said that. "You have all the time in the world to give me noogies" repeated in his head several times before snapping out of his daze and began to act serious and looked out for criminals too before Judy asks what's going on with him.
10 minutes went by, but nothing interesting came up, yet. Nick was looking around, boredom invading his body. Until, he saw something that caught his eye.
"Oh my god." exclaimed Nick.
"What!? What is it Nick?" Judy said loudly pulling the binoculars off her face.
"That's my homies van coming up." he said excitedly, half closing his eyes smiling cunningly.
"Oh, Nick! I thought we had something!" said Judy in an annoyed tone, glaring at him.
"Well, I'm sorry about that. I just get too excited sometimes." explained Nick.
The van pulled up to a parking lot and then stopped. As the door opened, a familiar fennec fox jumped out. He then pulled out a box of cigarettes and then lights one. He was wearing a black short sleeve shirt and ripped pair of jeans. It was Finnick. Nick hasn't seen him since that pawpsicle stunt a few weeks ago. Nick jumped out of the cruiser and walked towards Finnick.
"Nick! Come back! We are supposed to be on duty!" Judy shouted from the window of the car.
"Cool it, carrots. I'm just going to speak to Finnick. I have not seen him in yonks!" Nick replied. Judy let out an annoyed "Mm!"
Finnick flicked his cigarette out of his paw as he saw Nick approach him. Dumbstruck, he could not believe that Nick was in the force now.
"Nick..." Finnick uttered. "How things been with you?"
"Oh, not bad actually" Nick replied. "You?"
"Shit." Finnick said seriously. "I haven't seen you in ages. Now I see you are working for the pigs."
Nick lost his smile. "Oh, yeah. Look Finnick, I joined the force because I thought that I-"
"Thought you could make the world a better place?" Finnick interrupted. "Bullshit. You did that to get away from me."
"No Finn." said Nick worryingly. "No bullshit happening here, you hear? I just thought that I had more meaning in my life. But I still want to see you mate."
Finnick sighed heavily, thinking about it for a minute. "You promise?"
"I shouldn't have to make a promise." Nick replied. "I made a vow to still be mates and see you. But things are going to be different. I'm working with the force now, so no hustling anymore you see?"
"Fine. But just remember this" Finnick paused. "You fucking made that vow. So stick to it."
"I promise, Finn."
"Alright. I trust ya big lug." They both stared into each others eyes for a few minutes. Awkward.
"So, what's been happenin'?" asked Nick.
"Haven't done a hustle for a while now man." said Finnick. "Shit, I am kinda gettin' shakes from cold turkey alone."
"Sorry about that." Nick said with remorse looking down at his feet, clearly feeling guilt.
Finnick looked behind Nick's shoulder. He saw Judy sitting in the cruiser looking through the binoculars. "That your partner in there?"
Nick looked behind himself "Yeah. Her name is Judy. She is my partner for patrol duty."
"She good with you?" Finnick asked concerned.
"Oh she is fucking perfect." Nick answered. "She has such a kind personality, a great face and a super fluffy tail."
"It sounds like you want her to me." sputtered Finnick "Shit man, she is a bunny."
"I know, but it shouldn't really matter who I like. She is a great person to be around." said Nick.
"Nick!"
"Huh?"
"We've got hit and run! Come on! Get in! Get in!" Judy shouted urgently.
"Oh god! I- I will see ya later Finn!" shouted Nick as he rushed to the cruiser, slamming the door.
"Yeah, whatever man." Finnick said quietly as the cruiser sped away.
Lightning up his mood somehow, he smiled and said to himself; "Nicholas P. Wilde, it's great to see you again."
