Author Notes
The setup for these chapters are a little bit different, whole chapters are split into 3 or 5 different parts to allow for more flowing reading instead of one major text wall for everyone to get bored of reading after a while. So every chapter is more like part of one major chapter such as now. This is the beginning of chapter 1, or 1-1 on the Chapter navigation panel.

Nick Wilde was already at the police station once Judy had arrived in the afternoon. He and Clawhauser were discussion privately, police gossip as Judy called it, and Clawhauser was in the middle of all of it. Both Nick and Clawhauser were eating a doughnut while they spoke in low tones for no one to hear, though the rabbit can hear literally anything, even a light breath in a quiet apartment.

"So, how much are you wanting to bet?" Nick spoke to Clawhauser to which Clawhauser pondered quietly.

"A dozen doughnuts plus $50" Clawhauser spoke and smirked to which Nick also smirked and then stuck out his hand to seal the deal.

"You're on Cheetah." Nick spoke and said "I'm going to win, There is no way she doesn't like me." he continued on whispering still as he looked to his side and saw Judy looking at them but then walking towards the bull pen quietly. Nick's ears pinned back wondering if she heard him, which she did hear them, and they were wrong. Judy didn't like Nick, or at least. She thought she didn't like him in the relationship type of way, more of a friend than anything.

Then again, Nick said'her' not anyone specific. But who else would there be? There isn't even another Red-fox in town. But still, the only person Nick has opened up too, as far as she knows, is herself. So what could he be talking about...? Judy bet's it's her, and Nick was going to owe Clawhauser a dozen doughnuts... and $50.

As Judy went into the chief's office, she was alerted about what was going on. There is a school bus that went missing from an unsupervised road earlier this morning. Some police were already there, but Chief Bogo was waiting for Judy to come in so that she and Nick can go out and check the area. To which Judy had nodded, and just then Nick opened the door slightly and Judy looked over at him, as well as Chief Bogo.

Judy looked at Chief Bogo again, and then hopped off the chair and up to Nick "Come on now Wilde. We have worked to do." She spoke and smiled at him, and Nick looked at Judy then at Chief Bogo and Chief Bogo tilted his head at him and raised an eyebrow at Wilde, before Nick pulled back his ears and slowly closed the door.

Judy was going to pay no mind to this matter, about the possibility of her liking Nick, it was preposterous. There was no way she would. They're supposed to be natural enemies, but yet here they are. A sly-fox and a 'dumb bunny' working together side by side on the police force, she wasn't going to make it be the best of him. The whole thing about her loving Nick was meant in a friendly way, which happened right as they were stopping Flash going 115 though an intersection.

Judy and Nick walked out of the police station, he wondered if she heard him talking with Clawhauser earlier. He really hoped she didn't, since if she did she would probably forcefully change the answer. He only has a week to find out, so he needs to get the answer out before the week is up.

"What do we got, Carrots?" Nick asked as they both got into a police vehicle and she began to drive onto the roads.

Judy first rolled her eyes; "Missing school bus, with the children and the driver." she finished up and continued to drive on through the city.

"Seems simple enough," Nick spoke and grabbed his reflective shades and flicked them open and placed them on. Honestly, he looked nice in them, it matched his uniform nicely. Making him seemingly 'bad cop like.'

They arrived at the road about three minutes later and then at the scene of tire marks in the road that resemble that of a bus being stopped quickly. There was also another set of tire tracks that were stopped in front of those, almost as if the first vehicle, which is possibly an SUV based on the marks, stopped the school bus. But the bus was now missing, and the question was lingering. Where was it?

Nick and Judy investigated slightly, wondering where the bus possibly went. Based upon the tire marks, they set off heading north towards where the bus was supposed to meet at the school, and along the road Nick notices a purple pencil on the road.

"Carrots stop the car." Nick spoke up, and Judy stopped the car then and there, she hopped out as Nick did as well.

Nick walked up to the curb and crouched down and picked up the slim purple object and looked at it. Judy was just walking around the car when she looked at him, and then spoke finally

"If I were being kidnapped, what would I create so someone would notice?" Nick asked Judy and she simply shrugged and they both looked down the road seeing more pencils going in one direction "A trail!" They both said when looking at each other.
