Chapter 19 - Back To The ZPD Part 2
Nick and Judy managed to arrive at the ZPD Headquarters with extra more time left. Both of them headed to their lockers where they grabbed hold their uniforms and other equipment that they required for their very duties. After they donned their ZPD Uniforms, Nick faces to Judy.
"Judy, I'm going to tell Clawhauser and Chief Bogo of what Splero said." - Nick said -
"Ok, Nick. I'll wait for you in the cubicles." - Judy replied -
Nick sets off to tell the 2 ZPD officials. First, he reminded Clawhauser.
"Hey there, Clawhauser!" - Nick greeted -
"Oh hey there, Wilde! What's up?" - Clawhauser responded -
"I have something to remind you about Splero." - Nick started -
"What's the news?" - Clawhauser asked -
"Splero's going to be here late because he was just carpooling his lover back home. He also says that he wants to do some overtime when he gets here." - Nick explained -
"I see." - Clawhauser listened hard -
"By the way, is Chief Bogo's around?" - Nick asked -
"Not yet but he'll be at his office later on." - Clawhauser replied -
"Thanks, pal!" - Nick thanked him -
"You're welcome, Wilde." - Clawhauser replied -
Nick then went to the Cubicle Room. Judy was just sitting on her very cubicle when Nick approached her.
"How did it go, slick?" - Judy asked -
"I finally informed Clawhauser but Chief Bogo's not here yet. I think I'm going to wait here for a while until he arrives at his office." - Nick replied -
The fox took a seat on his own cubicle. He then started to read some of Splero's books that he borrowed earlier.
While Nick was reading the book entitled "The Royal Coup" for a straight 10 minutes, Judy approaches him.
"Hey, Nick?" - Judy called -
"Yes, Carrots?" - Nick responded -
"Chief Bogo was in his office now." - Judy said -
"Oh, ok then. Thanks for reminding me." - Nick replied -
"Don't mention it." - Judy remarked, smiling -
Nick stood up, places the book on his desk and he went to see Chief Bogo. Upon arriving at his office, he knocked the door.
"Who is it?" - Bogo asked -
"It's Wilde, sir." - Nick replied -
"Come in." - Bogo said -
Nick entered the office.
"Sir, I have something to report. It's all about Splero." - Nick reported -
"What is it about?" - Bogo asked -
"Well...Splero says that he was going to arrive here late because he was fetching someone home but he wanted to do some overtime later on when he arrives." - Nick explained -
"Is that so?" - Bogo asked -
Nick nodded. Chief Bogo then sighed.
"Alright. In that case, please give these files to Splero when he comes for duty." - Bogo requested, handing him a pile of papers to Nick -
"What are these, sir?" - Nick asked -
"Those were just usual documents of the ZPD, Wilde. Not else." - Bogo simply replied -
"Ok, sir. I must be get going now for my our tasks at hand. Thanks for the timely moment." - Nick thanked him -
Bogo gave him a simple wave of his hoof. Nick carefully went out of the room with a pile of papers on his paws.
Upon arriving at the cubicles again, Judy saw him and she helped him.
"Nick, what are these?" - Judy asked -
"This is a pile of ZPD documents that were reserved for Splero when he arrives here late. It's from Chief Bogo as well." - Nick replied -
The fox took a seat and wiped his furred forehead with a handkerchief.
"Man, I'm tired." - Nick remarked, weakly -
Judy's telephone rang. The bunny took the call.
"Judy Hopps reporting!"
"Judy, It's me...Clawhauser." - Clawhauser replied -
"Hey, there. What is it?" - Judy asked -
"Splero is finally here now. He's heading in there now." - Clawhauser answered -
"Ok, Clawhauser. Thanks for the call!" - Judy thanked him -
When she put the phone down, she turned to Nick.
"Nick, Splero's just arrived." - Judy reminded -
"Really? Oh thank god." - Nick replied, sighing with relief -
An exhausted Splero appeared.
"Hey, guys. I'm sorry for the delay. Something slashed the tires of my car. Good thing I have spare ones stored in the trunk." - Splero explained -
"By the way, how's Michelle?" - Judy asked -
"She's fine now, Nick. Looks like she's getting attractive to me by the minute." - Splero replied -
"Boy, I'm jealous." - Nick teased -
"Cut it out, will ya?" - Splero said -
Nick then handed the pile of papers to Splero.
"Since you wanted to do some overtime, here you go." - Nick said -
"Thanks, Nick. I'll start on these now when I'm done on donning my uniform up." - Splero replied -
"Take your time." - Judy said -
Splero nodded and went to the Locker Room. As Judy started to work on her desktop computer, Nick places a bookmark on the book that he's reading. He then started to his work with his paperwork.
This is the end of Chapter 19. Nick and Judy were relieved when Splero finally arrived to the ZPD at last. Stay tuned for Chapter 20, everyone!
