Authors Notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to Friday. Good luck with the weekend ahead, but for now... Enjoy the final Chapter part for Chapter 2!

The following day, Judy was stuck in the Police Station, luckily she was granted an actual laptop so she sat with Clawhauser at the front desk for pretty much the entire day until breaks came in.

There was honestly not much information about Augustus Chao...

Birthdate: N/a
Location: N/a
Species: Panda Bear
Photo: N/a

There was pretty much nearly nothing about Augustus. The only good information was the species being a Panda. That's certainly unique, and it certainly would also explain the Tiger relations with the Panda. Tigers are mostly Asian, while Pandas are Asian. Which would be useful to know. Not only that, but Pandas are the easiest thing in the world to spot. Check out for locations selling Bamboo, and Dumplings. Not that hard. Could be easy to track too... That is if Chao buys everything himself.

Since Judy was stud in the office, Amelia ended up getting partnered with Nick for the day. More field work for Amelia, but this also gave Nick the change to get to know Amelia this time, since she was officially Judy's partner instead of Nick... and Amelia was especially curious upon what happened to the unstoppable duo... At least, it was an unstoppable duo. Now it's nothing.

While Nick was driving silently, acting like he was top vulpine of the city... and he pretty much was, since he is basically the only fox in the city. He was still being quiet and looking around the streets, everyone was behaving normally. And with the silence, Amelia couldn't stand it anymore so she finally broke it.

"So... Wilde," Amelia started and Nick looked over a bit before looking back at the road. "What ever happened between you and Hopps?" She finally asked, and Nick nearly stomped on the brakes from the sudden question but he stopped himself from hitting the brake.

"What kind of question is that?" Nick asked kind of coldly as he continued driving again.

"Uhm... A stupid one." Amelia spoke softly looking forward again.

"Mhmm." Nick hummed as they continued once again. He thought about the question, and he was kind of saddened becuase the memories flooded back. He almost wasn't paying attention to the road anymore, it wasn't until Amelia yelled his name for him to pay attention because he was drifting.

"Wilde!" Amelia yelled out, and Nick flinched. She almost sounded like Judy calling his name like that and he quickly corrected himself before slamming into a truck.

"You alright?" Amelia then asked and Nick looked at her and then back at the round.

"I'm fine." He responded and sighed softly thinking for a moment. He looked at the time and then said "Streets seem pretty fine... want something to eat?" He asked and she looked over.

"Sure." Was all she spoke as he nodded and pulled into a nearby fast-food joint and parked the car. He shut off the engine, taking the keys out and he opened his door carefully making sure no one was coming.

As they walked into the restaurant, Nick looked around kind of quietly. He felt like something was wrong, like something bad was going to happen. And knowing his gut, there probably was going to be something to happen. Which is why he is taking extra precautions as he looked around. Once he was inside, he looked at everyone inside. No one looked familiar, no one seemed suspicious. That was good for him, but he still felt like something was wrong.

Him and Amelia went ahead and ordered their food, and they sat quietly while they ate. Some people were looking at Amelia because of her Hybrid ways. She was used to it at this point, but Nick was realizing that she was an outcast all her life... just like him. He then decided to talk.

"Me and Judy stopped being partners because we got into an argument. I decided it was for the best to not be partners for a while." Nick spoke and Amelia looked up at him and nodded.

"Well... if you don't mind me asking, what was the argument about?" Amelia asked.

"I made a bet with Clawhauser, you know, the cheetah at the front desk in the Department." He began and she nodded. "Anyways. I made a bet that Judy likes me, and Clawhauser didn't believe it. So we made a bit if she did... she was not happy about it after she found out.' Nick responde dand Amelia nodded.

"Well. I guess she started that argument first didn't she." Amelia asked and Nick nodded quickly. "Make sense, I would've ripped you a new one if you tried that move on me." Nick spoke and he got a little bit nervous there and chuckled a tad bit.

Judy was still trying to find information about Chao. She then looked at Clawhauser who seemed to be a bit bored with no one coming into the department right now. She then started to talk "You know Clawhauser..." She began, and he looked up at her. "I appreciate that you were not like Nick. At least you told off on him for starting it." She finished off, and Clawhauser had a small smile grow on his face.

"Thanks Judy." His voice spoke and Judy smiled back at Clawhauser.

"You don't need to worry about me being mad at you, No one could be mad at you." She spoke and smiled rubbing his head and she went back to working on her dead-ended research.

Clawhauser smiled at Judy, and then reached down and grabbed a doughnut and gave it to her. To which Judy looked and smiled at him "Thank you." She spoke and then continued to look through the reports, just trying to find SOMETHING that could lead them to new information. Before she resorted to beating it out of the Tigers... wait... She can't do that... She sighed softly, she would need Nick for something like that. And she was too Innocent, and the same for Amelia. Nick would be perfect for interrogation, but after the recent incident.. even though it's a month ago. She couldn't do anything about it.

She still hasn't even thanked him for saving her life...

Nick finished eating his lunch, and sat back in the chair as he thought for a moment about Amelia, she was just like Him for the most part. An outcast, no on liked her, everyone stereotyped her... being a Hybrid meant your parents were two different species... SOME hybrids were tolerated, Ligers for example were okay. But she was a Chiger. Cheetah Tiger Hybrid, that was a unique hybrid, and no one likes unique. Even though society advanced, people still don't like others...

Nick sighed at this just as Amelia finished her meal as well. The two talked quietly, getting to know each other a bit more. But in the mean time, someone had walked into the shop, picked out a table. Ordered something, and then left a brief case under a table. That happened about 5 minutes ago, and Nick didn't notice it at all.

Around 2 minutes more and suddenly the waitress was looking around wondering where the man had gone before she shrugged and brought the food back to the counter. After she did that, suddenly a white flash, and a large bang boomed through the restaurant, causing smoke to fill as glass shattered, and many people were injured. Nick and Amelia especially, as they fell to the ground their ears ringing loudly. The bomb was too far away to kill Nick and Amelia, but it did kill a few.

Nick coughed hard as he grabbed his radio and started speaking into it "This is Officer Wilde! Officers down! Repeat, Officers Down at the Bug-Burga. 10-80, REPEAT 10-80!" He spoke as looked towards Amelia who was covering her ears and then slowly looked up at all the smoke.

Judy, hearing the radio. Quickly sprang to her feet and took off before Clawhauser could even stop her as she left the building and quickly got into her Squad Car. When she got in, she turned it on and quickly proclaimed "This is Officer Hopps, 10-4 on recent message, I am on my way!" She spoke as she started to going, but she heard Chief Bogo on the radio just then

"Officer Hopps, Stand Down!" He spoke and Judy stopped the car.

She wanted to help. "Sir! Let me go down!" Judy responded, and Chief Bogo replied back.

"Fine, But be careful."

Judy smiled at the Radio, and took off sirens blaring as she drove her way down there. Once she was there, she quickly got out and ran inside looking for Nick and Amelia. Once spotted, on the ground. She helped Nick up first, and got him out of the way and then she helped Amelia out. As she came out, Nick was slowly standing up looking at the ground before looking at the restaurant and all of the windows that were blown out, and the smoke that was also coming out of it.

Judy got Amelia against the car and she got some sense back into Amelia. "Come on Amelia, snap out of it!" She spoke and Amelia looked at Judy and jumped quite a bit seeing her there. Judy looked at Nick and said "Nick, help others inside!" She responded, and Nick nodded instantly. Completely ignoring the fact that Judy was there, but he didn't ignore the words.

As Judy attended to Amelia to get her going again, someone slowly came up behind Judy and she then felt a gun press against Judy's head "Move." A deep voice said as Judy slowly turned around to see a Tiger in a suit pointing a gun at her and he motioned her to move to the side.

Judy slowly did as what was asked and the Tiger crouched down to Amelia and smirked. She was aware of him there, and was frightened now.

Amelia looked at Judy, and then back at the Tiger, as suddenly the gun was placed against Amelia's head. Judy didn't do anything, She froze. She couldn't help. If she tried to help, that may kill Amelia...

But Nick could. His gun was already out as he aimed at the Tiger through the smoke and thought about his angle for a moment with the bullet, and then shot the Tiger's hand. One of the things he was good at was having a steady hand. The Tiger dropped his gun instantly when the bullet sharply hit the tigers paw. He backed away in pain as he grabbed his hand looking down at it.

Judy took that moment to jump at the Tiger and get him on his chest and begin to cuff him. As she finally cuffed the Tiger. Judy looked at Amelia, and then at Nick and then back at Amelia. This tiger didn't care about Judy. Only Amelia, but why? Judy thought about it as she stood on top of the grounded Tiger and then she looked back at Amelia after giving a frightening saying to Amelia. "Chao knows. He's trying to kill you." was what Judy said to Amelia. Though it seemed quite far-fetched, it honestly made sense.

The Bomb, The gun, it's possible they are specifically targeting Amelia just because she knows too much, but who would know about Amelia? Not on a personal level, but just enough to get her killed because she knows too much.

Amelia was so close to crying, first a bomb, and then a gun at her head. Judy crouched down next to her and rubbed her cheek lightly. "Hey, hey Amelia. Calm down alright?" Judy asked and she smiled at Amelia. "Come on partner. Let's get you to the ambulance to make sure you're okay." Judy finished and Amelia nodded and Judy lifted her up and brought her over to the Ambulance, walking right next to her the entire time.
