Conceal… Don't feel… don't let i-
ARG! Forget it! Those two were getting it! This was the last straw!
Of course, after taking his migraine pill. Bogo took a big gulp of water and swallowed his pill. He sighed as he waited a few moments for the pill to take over. He placed the glass of water over his desk and slowly made small circles on both sides of his head. He sighed.
One day more… One more day….
…until his vacations. His well-deserved vacations.
So, many of you might be asking, what did the dynamic duo of a certain fox and bunny did to give their chief another migraine?
Simple answer: their existence. There were no jokes or pranks this time nor unauthorized cases. Just that those two had decided to…
…get wounded in action.
Yes, that was it. No, he was not worried for them. They were just a thorn at his side who just happened to make their way into a little corner of his well-guarded heart. That's all, really. It wasn't Wilde's head wound or Hopps broken leg what almost tore him apart. They were stupid, yes they were. It was an unexpected car chase with an unexpected turn of events with an unexpected trap that came with unexpected injuries. The car was hit by the second thief's car and send them straight into a light post. And he had arrived at the same moment they crashed. If he was going to be honest with himself, that was one of the worst accidents he had to witness in his whole career. Hopps was driving and her leg was squashed by the impact and her head hit the side window, gaining her a few glass cuts. Wilde did not had his seat belt. Half his body was outside the window while he tried to shoot the thief's car's tires before the incident. He had seen the other car coming and went inside to tell his partner, but he couldn't put his seatbelt in time, therefore, he suffered the worst injuries. A concussion, broken arm, two cracked ribs and glass cuts. He hadn't hit the side window with his head. No, he had smashed his head!
They were both in the hospital, thankfully, in stable conditions. But Wilde had lost more blood than Judy did. It is said that bad things last longer than good ones. Just for once, he was thankful that Wilde was really bad.
So no, he was not worried for them.
They were out for a month, twice the time he was going for vacations. Luckily, they had called for backup right before the incident, so the thieves were caught.
But for a moment out there, when he saw their unconscious bodies, he actually thought they weren't going to make it. Judy looked like a bunny made out of glass, so fragile. Nick simply looked dead. Some cops thought he was already dead! But no, he had to wake up for a moment and insult the paramedics before passing out. That's when he knew everything was going to fine. Kind of.
They were both so tiny compared to the other cops. It was easier for them to die in a car crash like that. But no. They lived. They were alive and safe. He wasn't sure of the medical staff, though. Those two could drive a doctor insane.
It didn't matter what amount of migraines they have costed him, he will always admit they were his best team. He will never admit he actually admired them. Not now, not ever.
There was a knock on the door. Bogo looked up. "Come in."
The door opened and Benjamin Clawhauser stepped in. "Sir? Did you drink your pill?"
"Yes."
"OK, then. Well, I'm about to leave and I suppose you are as well. So I was wondering if you wanted to accompany me to the hospital?"
Bogo looked up in surprise. "Why?
"To see Nick ad Judy."
Oh, right. "Well…" He looked at his watch. "I suppose I could. But as soon as Wilde insults me, I'm leaving."
OOO
The trip to the hospital wasn't exactly as quiet as Ben kept talking his ear off about Gazelle. Not that he minded, but he stayed quiet most of the journey and gotten some donuts for the duo. After parking the car, they directed themselves to the reception.
"Sorry, sirs. But only family can visit." The nurse, a rather bored zebra, said.
Ben looked down in disappointment, but Bogo was not having any of it. "Miss, with all due respect, this is rather important related to a case."
"Sorry, sir. But I cannot allow you. Unless their chief arrives, I don't see why I should let you in."
"Miss?" Bogo asked.
"Yes?"
Bogo held up his badge. "I am the chief."
The zebra blushed in embarrassment. "Oh! I am so sorry. Room 267."
"Thank you." Bogo said and walked towards the elevator, Ben followed with the donut box. In less than five minutes they were standing in front of the room. Bogo slowly opened the door and stepped in. His eyes first laid over Nick's unconscious body. He was bandaged and looked like he was on the brink of death, although he knew the fox was stable. Judy, on the other hand, was reading the lasts issue of Animals (the equivalent of People) and her leg was hung up in a cast. Her head was bandaged, but otherwise she looked fine. She looked up and smiled at them.
"Chief! Ben!" She said with her brightest smile. But Bogo could still detect the hidden pain behind her words.
"Judy!" Ben ran towards her bed. "Thank heavens you are alive!" He gasped as he hold back tears of joy.
Judy lowered her ears and stared. "Are you… are you crying?"
"No?" Ben dried off his face and smile. "We brought you donuts!" He opened the box. "Carrots and blueberries! You guys favorites!"
"Did someone… did someone said… blueberries?"
Everyone in the room turned to see Nick smiling at them with sleepy eyes. He extended his good arm. "Thank you guys for coming, now, give me one…" They all chuckled as Ben passed the donut to the fox, who gladly took a bite. He glanced at Bogo, who was standing awkwardly on one side of the room. "Hey, chief. Glad to know you care about us."
"I care about all my officers, Wilde."
"Good, good. That's a good chief." Nick said in a mocking kind of way. Bogo wanted to slap him, but decided at the last minute that the fox had had enough for one day. "So, this means…" Nick started. "… that we get a longer vacation time than you, sir?"
Bogo glared. 'He was in a car crash. He had enough. He doesn't need one more injury, although I wish that he had also smashed his mouth.' He thought. "Yes, it appears so." He bitterly said. But then, he added. "But I'm going to Hawaii and you're not."
Nick lowered his ears and stared in shock. "I wanted to go..."
Judy looked at both of them with an awkward smile. "Well, we're glad that you came down here to visit us, chief."
"Yeah, we are…" Nick said in a weak voice. "Now, get out, I want to go to sleep."
"Nick!"
Nick weakly smiled. "It's a joke. But seriously, I don't like people watching me sleep. It's creepy."
Judy smirked. "Well, I was watching you sleep."
Nick looked at Judy like she had grown two heads.
"Did you know you wiggle your nose in your sleep? It was so cute! I wish I had my phone to take a picture."
Nick gasped, even though it made his ribs hurt. "Hopps! Were you going to blackmail me!?" Then he gave her a smug smile. "It seems I am rubbing off on you."
"Oh, shut it, you!"
Then, they gave each other some goofy, love-struck looks while Ben kept talking on and on about Gazelle again. But Bogo caught them. This only confirmed his mind-blowing conclusion on them dating. Look at them… glancing at each other like lovesick teenagers. It was disgusting. But surprisingly, not that unwelcomed, just as long as this didn't interfere with their work.
"Are you two dating or something?" He voiced aloud.
Judy and Nick looked at him like a flock of pigeons pooped on him while Ben had the biggest grin on his face and whispered something between the words 'I ship it…'.
"I mean, I am not against interspecies relationships, just as long as it doesn't interfere with your work."
"Sir! We-we are not-!" Judy started. "We aren't dating!"
"Oh yes we are, Carrots…" Nick said.
Judy looked at the fox with an incredulous look. "What…"
"Don't you see!? A whole new world-!"
"Nick?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up." Judy said as she glared and munched on her carrot donut. "Or I'll break the rest of your ribs."
Oh, yeah. Those two were up to something. Luckily, this meant they were going to be fine. There was nothing he should worry about during his vacations. No migraines, no car crashes, no fuzzy wuzzy flirting between a fox and a bunny.
Yeah, they were going to be fine.
Now, finally, vacation time.
Again, sorry if any of the characters felt OOC. Remember, I accept some ideas. Your reviews are love!
