Chapter 3

"Never do that again." Nick said wide eyed as he slowly got in the car.

"Awe did the little fox not enjoy his date." Judy teased as she headed out on to the road.

"Never. Again." He repeated himself and Judy laughed as she headed back to Zootopia. "Where are we going?"

"To inform Officer Bonita about what we've learned, maybe the victim knows someone." Judy said as she headed back to the hospital.

"So, what are your thought on all of this?" Nick asked as he looked out the window as they drove down the road.

"the case? Or interspecies?" She asked as they turned into the tunnel that lead back to the city.

"Well both." He replied and she looked over at him.

"Well if two animals love each other I don't see really any problem with it, but I'm more into my own species." She replied and Nick rolled his eyes.

"Well I think I'm done with foxes after that whole expierence." Nick replied and Judy chuckled.

"So what species now?" She asked

"I'll see whats out there." He said in return.

"Now the case I think we're making progress." Judy answered his earlier question as they pulled into the hospital. They walked up to the reporters room and knocked on the door, they didn't hear anything in response. Nick put his hand on the door knob and Judy put hers on her tranquilizer gun, Nick quickly opened the door and rushed in with Judy.

"Freeze!" Judy yelled out as she pointed the gun at Crista who was on top of Cres. Her face went solid red as she realized what they were doing. "I...I...I...I..." She quickly covered her face as Crista realized they were standing there and turned bright red.

"GET OUT!" She cried and Nick and Judy rushed out of the room shutting the door. After a couple minutes they knocked on the door. "Come in." Crista yelled out and they slowly opened the door Crista was fully clothed now along with Cres. "I'm um sorry you um walked in on us..." She said shyly still blushing bright red.

"Its...fine...so um." Judy struggled for words.

"We...found some things out." Nick replied trying to get over the elephant in the room.

"What?" Crista's ears perked up.

"Someone else has been buying nighthowler, we know they were a small prey, wore a mask, and had a scar on their paw." Judy gave the information to her and she wrote it down.

"Wasn't there a rabbit who said something to us at the restuarant?" Crista looked over at Cres and he sat up.

"Yeah but he didn't have a scar." He replied

"I know that but maybe he could know someone." Crista replied.

"And he'll talk to a cop about a case he may have taken part in?" Nick commented and Judy looked at him.

"I guess you have a point." Judy replied

"Well don't dress up like a cop Officer Bunny." Cres said and the cops looked at him. "Pretend you wanna go out with him or something, how do you think Crista and I met." He laughed and Crista rolled her eyes.

"Never going to let me live that down are you." She muttered.

"Well not anytime soon, since you thought I was a drug dealer."

"It was my first case ok." Crista snapped and Cres shut up.

"So you want me to pretend to go out on a date with this guy?" Judy looked over to Crista.

"Well I mean it could work. You'd just have to doll yourself up, act somewhat specist, I bet he'll tell you what we need to know. You'll just need to hide a recorder somewhere."

"Alright then we can start this tonight."Judy said before anyone could object to the plan she turned to Crista. "Can you help with the make up." Crista nodded and the two girls left out of the room.

"So you two met..."

"Because she thought I was a drug dealer yes." Cres laughed before getting out of the bed. "So you and Judy?"

"What no, we're just partners." He replied and Cres shook his head.

"Don't think I didn't catch you wanting to object the second you thought about her going out." Cres said and Nick sat down.

"Maybe I was just concerned..."

"For her safety. That how it started with Crista except reversed." Cres struggled to put a shirt on.

"You don't think you're coming with us do you?" Nick asked

"Maybe." The grey fox replied. Meanwhile in the bathroom down the hall Crista was doing her best to make Judy unrecgonizable.

"Hmmm what else." Crista looked through her bag for anything that could be useful.

"So um my disguise is fake glasses?" Judy asked

"Well you don't look like yourself with them on." Crista said in her defense.

"You have a point there, so anything else?" She asked and Crista dumped the contents of her bag out beside them. Crista dug through the mess and pulled out some lipstick and blush and went to work on prepping Judy.
