I woke up to the sound of knocking on my bedroom door.
"Unless the building is burning down, I think it can wait." I yell burying my face into my pillows
"The press will do that if you don't talk to them." Nick replies from outside my room
"Give me five minutes." I say literally dragging myself from bed.
It took me 7 minutes to get dressed in some simple clothing and get downstairs.
I look through the peephole to see three reporters
I open the door and begin to speak.
"Before any of you ask any questions. After this interview, if any of you show up here without my approval, I will have you arrested for harassment of a LEO." I say while rubbing my temple "Okay, one at a time."
The ZNN reporter goes first. "Earlier this morning, the Times campaign released a statement apologizing for the warrant incident. Any comments?"
"I have not seen it yet because I have just woken up, so no comment."
CBC'S turn "Are either Mr. Wilde or Ms. Hopps ready to make any comments?"
"Let me ask them that." I say stepping inside and closing the door "EITHER OF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO THE PRESS?" I yell
"Can you politely ask the press to fuck off?" Judy replies
"And tell them that I won't hesitate to have them arrested for harassment!" Nick comments
I return outside "Judy says fuck off, and Nick is considering having the next reporter that approaches him arrested."
A reporter for the local newspaper speaks up "Do you have any quotes for tomorrow's issue?"
"Let me ask." I say as I lean inside my apartment. "Hey Judy, can the paper use your last comment as a quote?"
"Go ahead." She replies
I lean back outside "Please quote Judy Hopps as saying 'Can you politely ask the press to fuck off' if that's okay with you."
He writes it down and they all thank me for my time.
I return back inside. "So what time is it?" I ask
"7:32, Bogo wants us at the precinct by 8." Nick says
"Better hurry up then." I say as I walk upstairs.
20 minutes later, the three exit Cameron's truck in the parking lot of Precinct 1.
"You really going to arrest the first reporter to ask you a question?" I ask Nick as we approach the door
"Yep." He replies as the crowd sees us approaching
"Mr. Wilde any comments?" Asks a reporter.
Nick grabs him and puts him in cuffs. "You are under arrest for harassment of a LEO, You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you..." He says walking him inside
I turn to the crowd "Let that be a warning to all of you. He has had enough, and so have I."
Me and Judy walk inside to hear Bogo's voice "Did Wilde really just arrest a reporter?" He asks
"Yep, he did warn them." I reply
"Once he is done processing him, have him come to my office."
"Yes sir."
30 minutes later, Bogo's office.
"The media has gotten out of hand. Are you going to make a statement any time soon?" Bogo asks
"Actually yes, Bogi Bear." Nick says
"If you call me that again I will force you to make a statement now."
"We are going to release after work today." Judy says
"Okay, good. Cameron, I want you to be full lawyer today. Keep the badge and gun, but be fully legal counsel for the next 7 hours."
"Yes sir. Let's go write a report, I always thought that I would end up being on TV for being the Crown Prosecutor at a major trial, but no, instead it's for being the lawyer for the focal point of the interspecies rights movement."
"You are doing it right?" Judy asks
"Of course I am. You think I'm loony or something?"
