Dear reader,
Come, sit with me and talk a while. Do you want something to drink... No? Okay then. Ah yes, the story. As you may have guessed, this chapter takes place in the underground, or the Nocturnal District, which appeared in earlier versions of the movie. As you may very well expect, there are minor references to drugs, and all sorts of naughtiness... Exciting stuff, really... In any case, if that's not your bag, then may I suggest waiting until Thursday for the next chapter? What's that? Drugs totally "are your bag?" then by all means; make yourself at home.
-Enjoy
"So needless to say, that's probably why they don't let kids work the district anymore" Nick smiled down at Judy whom giggled at his childhood story.
The pair were a blast from the past. Having elected to go "under-cover" in pursuit of their next lead; Nick and Judy were dressed in civilian clothes for what seemed like the first time in the two years since Nick joined the force. Nick straitened his tie as he rolled his shoulders about the confines of his green Hawaiian button-down. His tan khakis clung to his legs and Nick thanked the heavens he did not have to carry his police equipment. Judy had elected to wear a faded pair of blue-jeans and a pink flannel with the sleeves rolled up. Nick thought she looked adorable.
"It's good to see that destruction of miniature-public-property isn't a new quirk for you, Mr. Wilde" Judy giggled as she and Nick made their way past Little Rodentia.
Nick shrugged and shot Judy a coy smile as he said; "I'm nothing, if not consistent." Looking up at the metro-entrance style building which was tucked away next to the mini district, Nick took the opportunity for some explanation. "So I've got a guy… who may be able to help us."
"Great!" Chimed Judy as she made to dart down the throat of the building. "Then what are we waiting fo-"
Judy's roll was cut short as Nick snatched her up by her arms. "Whoa there, Carrot's" Nick said as he set the surprised bunny back on the ground next to himself. "Not so fast, energizer-bunny. Cute little farm-girls don't usually handle the underground to well. So I want you to follow my lead, and just try not to stare too much."
Judy met Nick's smug gaze with one of contempt. "Don't call me cute, and get a move on. We've got a case to solve."
Nick chuckled at Judy's suppressed rage, and offered her an outstretched paw. Begrudgingly, Judy intertwined paws with her partner and the perfect-odd couple began their pilgrimage to the under-belly of Zootopia; The Nocturnal District.
Despite it being the Heat of the Day, the subway-style station was surprisingly cool and damp. Judy's ears perked up at the thrum of what she assumed to be machinery. Looking about, she noticed the station was surprisingly clean and sterile. Light gray concreate and white tile flooring composed the interior of the room and harsh white light seemed to emanate from nowhere. Judy cocked her head in confusion as they reached the bottom platform of the stairs which wound their way down the throat of the hidden district. Instead of subway turnstiles, there was a wall of elevator doors. Above them, a sterile black and white sign read; "Welcome to…"
"I thought it'd be more…" Judy's sentence trailed off as Nick held up a single digit to silence her. Leading the rabbit by the paw, Nick and Judy stepped into one of the elevators which opened automatically as they approached. Looking about the small room's interior, Judy realized there were no buttons for floors. A hiss caused Judy's ears to twist about as the doors closed behind her and Nick. The pair stood in silence for an impassable moment as Judy waited for the sinking feeling of an elevator going down. However, Judy's grip nervously tightened on Nick's paw as the clean white light of the cell died down to a near perfect darkness.
"Nick…"
"Shh…"
Judy's heart began to race as she searched the darkness for Nick's emerald gaze.
A loud hiss caused Judy to jump in shock before her jaw dropped at the completely beautiful and alien scene that sprawled out in front of her. A bustling subterranean metropolis unfolded before Judy's eyes as her world turned upside down. Strings of colored lights hung over the streets bathing everything in festive shades of pink, purple, yellow and blue. Threads of neon decorated windows and signs, drawing in mammals like moths to a flame. No cars traversed the streets of the bustling under-district; rather everyone made their way on foot. A massive archway stood in front of them, sporting "The Under Ground" in gorgeous neon.
Chuckling at Judy's frozen shock, Nick began to drag the stunned rabbit through the gateway of the under city. Judy's eyes jumped from sight to sight as Nick lead her through the alien-scape by the paw. Droves of nocturnal animals and subterranean mammals which Judy had never seen before pushed past the duo overloading the dumbfounded rabbit. Judy's head spun on a swivel as she looked from patches of dark green ferns to droves of bioluminescent mushrooms. In an overpowering moment of child-like wonder, Judy slipped Nick's grasp and ran off into the crowd.
"Carrots!" Nick shouted as he lost sight of Judy in the sea of mammals. "Come back!"
However, Judy was in a world of her own. Spinning circles as she ran, Judy absorbed all the sights and beauty of the artificial night time forest. Something caught her eye, and Judy came to a stop.
The excited rabbit stood in front of the trunk of a very large tree. Climbing it with her eyes, Judy was reminded that she was underground when she saw that the tree broke through the vaulted ceiling about fifty feet above her, presumably continuing on the surface. Turning her attention back the base of the tree, Judy was shocked to realize there was no grass where she was standing. Instead, her feet sunk into an invitingly soft layer of pale-green moss. Judy giggled with wonder at the amazingly alien sensation before her eyes were abducted by a beautiful distraction. Making her way over, Judy's breath caught as she stood in front of a bioluminescent flower.
The flower was like nothing the country rabbit had ever seen before. Its solitary leafless stem erupted from in-between the roots of the massive tree. The singular flowering bulb glowed with a pail white light which was punctuated by the flowers yellow inner stems. Sniffing the air, Judy caught a whiff of the flowers otherworldly-sweet scent. Entranced, Judy outstretched a single paw to pick the mysterious and enthralling orchid.
"That's not a good idea," came a voice, snapping Judy from her trance. Nick had grabbed Judy's outstretched wrist, stopping her paw meager inches from the glowing bloom. "That's a Siren's Orchid, Carrots. They're good luck, but kind of dangerous…" Nick smiled Down at Judy as her eyes focused back in on her partner.
"Why can't I pick it?" asked Judy looking longingly at the enticing flower.
"They're a powerful narcotic…" explained Nick with a smirk "And even stronger aphrodisiac."
Judy blushed deep-red at her almost blunder.
"But if that's your thing, then far be it for me to stop you…" Nick shot the flustered rabbit a coy smile, warranting a punch to the arm.
"Har, har, Mr. Wilde" grumbled Judy, recovering from her lapse in direction. "So what are we doing down here again?"
"We, are going to go see an old friend of mine" replied Nick, taking Judy by the paw. "He 'works' a… bar… around these parts. If we're lucky, he may just help us."
Judy shot the Siren's Orchid a longing glance over her shoulder as Nick lead her away into the flow of midnight mammals. Basking in the neon and bioluminescent glow of the nighttime-district, Judy was surprised when they finally stopped out front of their destination.
"Dee Dee?" asked Judy, craning her neck to look up at the massive neon sign which adorned the front of the windowless building.
"It's pronounced 'Double D'" instructed Nick. "And this joint used to be the place to be back in the day. If it's anything like it used to be…" Nick trailed off as he was swept up in the past. Snapping back to the present, Nick was horrified to see Judy disappear into the club. "Carrots, wait!"
Judy covered her mouth in shock as the den of debauchery enveloped her. She felt her ears burn red-hot as she looked about the hoard of half-naked, dancing, drinking and partying animals. Music assaulted her ears as she watched the rhythmically twisting sea of bodies. Judy felt embarrassed at what she was seeing, and let out a surprised yelp as a set of paws grabbed her shoulders from behind.
Nick, having caught up with his partner, steered Judy around the outskirts of the massive dance-floor to the bar area, which overlooked the swirling mass of dancing fur. Sitting her on a stool at the bar, Nick took the opportunity to poke fun at the flustered bunny.
"What's a matter?" Nick teased. "I thought you've seen everything before…"
Judy held her paws to the sides of her face, forming make-shift blinders to keep the swirling mass of bodies out of her vision.
"Carrots, I didn't know bunnies were such prudes… what with the propensity for-"
"Nick," Judy turned a fiery glare on the offending fox. "if you say it, our names are going to be on the front page of the Zoo-times; and not for solving the case!"
"Easy there, fluff" chuckled Nick, raising his paws in mock innocence. "I'm just trying to loosen you up a little."
"I don't need to relax," hissed Judy. "We need to find your friend, get our lead, and leave this… place."
Nick threw his head back in a hearty laugh. "Oh, Carrots" Nick shook his head as he spoke. "We don't find Rocket; he'll find us. But in the meantime, let's get you nice and loose" Nick made to wave down the bartender, but Judy struck down his raised paw.
"Nicholas P. Wilde," Judy all but yelled while feeding the fox a death-glare. "We are on shift!"
"We're also supposed to be blending in," whispered Nick with a subdued hint of frustration. "So you need to relax… Otherwise we're not going to get anywhere." Nick raised his paw to signal the bar tender again. Nick rested his free paw on Judy's shoulder, pulling her into his side in an attempt to reassure his partner.
"Well if it isn't Slick Nick!" yelled the bartender as he stopped in front of Nick and Judy. "Far be the day I thought we'd see you again! What can I do you for?" The opossum bartender threw a rag over his shoulder before shooting the duo a lopsided smile.
"Jazzy-Jazz, my main opossum-man!" Nick smiled rubbing Judy's shoulder reassuringly. "My little bunny here found herself a Siren's Orchid today. First time underground and everything!"
The bar-keep flattened the front of his shirt before shooting Judy an excited smile. "You found yourself a handle, eh? You know, we nocturnals say that's good luck!"
"That's what Nick said," replied Judy, relaxing a little under the opossums welcoming gaze. Extending a paw, Judy continued; "I'm Judy, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Ja'Zarrious, but all my buddies call me Jazz" the opossum heartily shook Judy's paw before turning to Nick. "Strait off the farm with this one, eh Nicky?"
Nick shrugged briefly in response to the bar-keeps assessment. "She's not as green as you might think. So, can you hook us up with some drinks?"
"Absolutely!" bellowed the opossum with a genuine air of excitement. "And I've got just the kick for the lucky-rabbit's foot!" Jazz winked at Judy as his long prehensile tail fished colorful bottles from under the bar. Mixing and shaking together two concoctions, the opossum made a brilliant spectacle of producing their drinks. Nick's drink was a swirling black ichor which was served in a rock glass with a single ball of ice. Meanwhile, Judy's drink was a shimmering white martini which Jazz garnished with a slice of bioluminescence mushroom on the rim. Nick slid his card towards the bar-keep upon receiving his drink, only to have it pushed back at him. "It's on the house!" Jazz smiled as he spoke. "But I gotta warn you; The Big Boss is in tonight. And last time I checked, The Iron Pony and you aren't on very good terms."
Nick nodded and shook the opossum's paw. "Thanks Jazz, I owe you one!"
"No sweat," replied the opossum. "Just howl if you need anything." The opossum smiled at the duo before excitedly ducking away to serve other patrons.
Nick and Judy clinked the rims of their glasses together before sipping their respective drinks. An explosion of flavor almost knocked Judy off her stool. Pulling back to admire the beautiful cocktail, Judy's ears caught the sound of Nick chuckling.
"What do you think, carrots, you like the underground?" Nick took a long pull from his own drink as he waited for a reply.
"If everyone's as charming as Jazz, I think I'll make it." Judy took another, larger, sip from her own respective cocktail before smiling at Nick. While not normally a drinker, Judy found the shimmering concoction quite enjoyable.
"Don't get any ideas," laughed Nick, elbowing Judy playfully. "Hay Carrots, check this out." Nick opened his jaws allowing his long flat tongue to hang out of his mouth. Much to Judy's amusement, Nick's drink had died the surface of his tongue jet black. Snapping his jaws shut, Nick leaned forward and locked Judy into a deep and passionate kiss. Judy's eyes bulged in shock and fluster as Nick's tongue swept across her own.
"Nicholas!" Judy scolded as she broke the foxes exhilarating kiss.
Nick held a single digit up to silence any protest as he allowed his mouth to fall open again. As Nick's tongue unfrowned, Judy's fluster turned to excitement and wonder as she saw that Nick's tongue was now glowing a pail blue. Judy couldn't help but laugh in amazement as she craned her neck to look for the opossum bar tender. Catching her gaze from across the bar, Jazz simply nodded and winked at the excited rabbit.
Returning her attention to Nick, Judy stifled a laugh as she caught Nick's now luminous smile. "You're teeth are glowing!" Nick simply pointed to the mirror which stood behind the stock of bottles at the bar, prompting Judy to lock eyes with her own glowing reflection. "I love it!" laughed Judy as she admired her own glowing smile.
Clinking glasses with her partner, the rabbit-fox duo downed their respective glasses and Nick raised a paw for another. Judy's brain began to swim with chemicals as the stiff concoction made its way through her body. Looking about the club, Judy marveled at the beautiful shades of bioluminescence and neon which filled the dance hall with vibrant hues of pink, blue and yellow. Returning her attention to Nick, who had just finished ordering their second round, Judy locked her partner in a deep kiss.
"How come we've never done this before?" asked the chemical rabbit as she giggled at the duo's renewed mouth-glow.
"We've always been busy with work" replied Nick with a shrug. "And you just never struck me as the type who would like… all this" Nick waved a paw in the air for emphasis, as Jazz slid the duo their second round of drinks. This time, the opossum served them two glowing shots which were accompanied by a salt shaker and matching wedges of lime. Nick grabbed one of the shots before shooting Judy a concerned glance.
"Hay Carrots," Nick locked eyes with Judy in a sober moment before continuing; "I don't want you to get in over your head. If you're at your limit, or you don't feel comfortable, you'll let me know, right?"
Judy smiled as she met Nick's concerned gaze. Placing her paw on top of Nick's, Judy nodded reassuringly.
Giving Judy a quick peck, Nick snapped back into the spirit of the party. "This one's called a body shot," explained Nick as he handed the glowing mini-drink to Judy. "First you take the shot," Nick counted on outstretched digits as he explained. "Then you lick the salt, and then you bite the lime. Think you can swing it, carrots?"
Judy swirled the mini drink in its glass as she smiled at its soft green glow. Returning her attention to Nick, Judy's ears blushed red-hot as she watched Nick loosen his tie, undo the top buttons of his shirt and pull the collar of his button-down off to the side far enough to expose his left-side collar bone. Finishing his prep work, Nick scrubbed a paw-full of salt onto his neck and clenched one of the lime wedges between his front teeth. Smiling from around the sour fruit, Nick chuckled at Judy's blush in the lime-light.
Judy's heart raced a million beats a second as she mentally prepared for the task at hand. Throwing back the glowing shot; a fire caught in her throat, and a cough cut Judy's swallow off at the pass. With an explosive back-fire, Judy blew the shot all over Nick's excited face.
Recoiling in horror, Judy covered her mouth as she looked to Nick, whom was coated in a mixture of salt, glowing liquor and rabbit spittle. Expecting a violent reaction of disgust, Judy was surprised when Nick erupted in laughter.
Nick spat the lime back onto the bar-top and attempted to wipe the offending mixture from his face-fur, all the while cackling at his predicament. "I guess that answers the whole 'spits or swallows' question" laughed Nick as he scrubbed his fur with a paw-full of napkins.
Judy thought that she very well may die of embarrassment, as she watched her partner clean up her mess. As Nick finished scrubbing his face, his ears instinctively twisted to the dancefloor as they caught a familiar bouncy synth tune. "I haven't heard this song since grade school" blurted out Nick, smiling excitedly at Judy. Throwing back the remaining shot, Nick drug the still embarrassed rabbit by the paw into the ocean of dancing bodies.
"I don't know this song!" yelled Judy over the deafening beat.
Nick smiled coyly at the rabbit as they stepped into line with the mass of strangely organized animals. "Just follow my lead!" Nick kissed Judy on the cheek as the lyrics moved into full swing.
"S-S-s-s…"
"A-A-a-a…"
"F-F-f-f…"
"E-E-e-e…"
"T-T-t-t…"
"Y-Y-y-y…"
"Safety, Dance…"
Judy couldn't help but laugh as she matched Nick and the crowds clapping. "The Safety Dance?" Judy asked, turning to look at Nick, whom was uncharacteristically very excited to dance.
"Absolutely, Fluff" Nick replied, hooking Judy's elbow as the pair rotated in sync with the crowd. "Mammals Without Hats; 1982"
Unhooking arms, the two danced across from each other to the music. Judy's bubbly excitement was complimented by Nick's ancient dance moves, as he mockingly sung along with the olden dance-tune. "Cause if Carrots don't dance, and if she don't dance; well she's no Carrots of mine!"
Judy twisted, hopped, danced and laughed along with Nick's excited chorography. Spinning about, Nick caught a paw full of glowing paste which was being chauffeured about the dance-floor on trays carried by waitresses whom effortlessly wove through the dancing sea. Eliciting a giggle from Judy, Nick smeared the luminous body-paint under his eyes making for two stripes of war paint. With the remaining paint, Nick drug his thumb across the chemical rabbit's forehead leaving a trail of luminous blue.
Sucking the residual paint from his thumb, Nick removed the digit from his mouth to offer a painted index finger to Judy. Giggling, Judy took Nick's outstretched digit in her mouth. Seductively swirling her tongue about the pad of Nick's pointer finger, Judy's brain kicked into overdrive as the luminous-mushroom-based body paint began to coarse through her system.
"Whoa," said Judy as a cloud of steam began to swirl inside her lungs. Locking eyes with her partner, Judy was filled with a mighty need for Nick.
The chemical duo danced with and ground into each other for what seemed like an eternity. Judy reveled in how amazing Nick's rough paw-pads felt on her fur, and Nick was lost in the soft expanses of Judy's gray body. Breaking the eternal moment, a slender and gorgeous vixen slid in-between the dancing odd couple.
"Little Nicky," spoke the vixen as she separated Nick from Judy. "The best ones always come crawling back. So what'll it be tonight, the regular?"
"Excuse me," interjected Judy, sobering up with her rising anger.
"Oh, you brought a friend…" the vixen smiled sharply at Judy before returning her attention to Nick. "She can watch, but it'll be a hundred extra."
"Whoa!" barked Nick as he held up his paws in an attempt to separate himself from the assailing Vixen. "That's real kind, Becca, but I'm not here for… that"
Becca crossed her arms in disappointment as she watched Judy reclaim her position at Nick's side. "Then what can I do for you, Mr. Wilde?"
"We're here to see Rocket," replied Nick, reassuringly rubbing Judy's shoulder.
Without another word, the female fox spun on her heels and wove her way through the swirling mass of animals. Following close behind, Nick and Judy made their way through the club towards Rocket's lair.
After passing through several guarded and sound-proofed doors, the trio now stood outside of Rocket's lair. Judy's ears still wrung from the blasting dance music, as they transitioned to the much more manageable level of rock, which played from the other side of their final door. Standing in tense silence, it was Becca who spoke first.
"This would be your stop…" spoke the fox vixen with a hint of edge in her voice. Stepping out of the way, she offered the duo passage.
Walking through the final gate way, Nick and Judy were assaulted by the scene of carnal excess which was trademark of powerful figures in the underground.
"So I said 'Rectum?' Damn near killed 'im!" The raccoon exploded into laughter prompting his nocturnal harem of six women to match his joy. Catching sight of Nick and Judy intruding, the raccoon snapped his jaws shut and fixed Nick with a death glare. "Will you look who it is…" The raccoon pushed several bodies off of himself as he stood to great the intruders.
"Rocket!" Nick said, raising his paws in good faith. "You look good, you been working out latel-"
"YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE," Rocket cut Nick off as he started towards the duo. Judy thought that the raccoon might look funny, dressed in nothing more that Zootopia flag underwear and a sunset yellow kimono, if he weren't so intimidating. "Where do you get off, waltzing in here, with your Bunny in tow…" Rocket snapped his attention to Judy, taking on a murderously sweet smile and composure. "Rocket raccoon, pleasure to meet you."
"Judy Hopps… Nice to meet you to," Judy gingerly shook the raccoon's outstretched paw, tilting her head in confusion as the raccoon politely kissed the back of her paw.
Snapping his attention back to Nick, Rocket renewed his anger. "Waltzing in here, with your Judy in tow… You know what I think?" Rocket now stood directly in front of Nick. While the raccoon was shorter, Nick somehow looked small as the furious mammal stared him down. "I think I should call in the old 'Iron-Hoof' to send you packing!"
"Oh, no no no…" Nick waved his paws in front of him, as a murderous smile grew on the raccoon's face. "Listen, pal, we don't want any trouble,were-just-looking-fo" Nick lost all of his normally collected composure as the raccoon continued to bare down over him.
"Gotcha…" smirked the raccoon, stopping Nick dead in his tracks. With an explosion of laughter, the raccoon jumped back to point and laugh in Nick's face.
"YOU SOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR STUPID SKUNK-BUCKET FACE!" yelled Rocket, all but doubled over in laughter. "OH MY WORD! Y-YOU Really thought…." Rocket gasped for air, as he wiped a tear from his eye. Nick was not amused. "Oh, I'm sorry, bunny" said Rocket as he attempted, and failed, to reclaim his composure. "I haven't seen Slick-Nicky in years! I just had to"
Realizing they were not in any actual danger, Judy let a nervous laugh join Rocket's glee.
"Come, sit, tell Rocket of your troubles, Little Nicky!" said the raccoon, bounding over a table and landing back on his couch with his harem. Snapping his fingers, Rocket gestured for a female fox and a raccoon to break away from his harem and attend to Nick.
Taking a seat across from Rocket, Nick cleared his throat and nodded his head towards Judy, whom he had placed an arm around on the couch.
In a glorious moment of misinterpretation, Rocket winked at Nick's indication and assigned the female fox to Judy, prompting a face paw from Nick.
"Don't say anything," whispered Nick into Judy's nervous pinned-back ears as the female fox wrapped herself about Judy's free shoulder. "It's rude to deny 'hospitalities'"
Turning his attention back to rocket, and attempting to ignore the female raccoon whom now toyed with Nick's neck fur, Nick began to explain their predicament.
"That's not a case!" bellowed Rocket. "That's a disaster!" Judy's ears pinned back every time Rocket spoke in attempt to escape the raccoon, whom somehow managed to always speak just barely on the wrong side of too loud.
"All our signs lead us to the underground…" Nick finished explaining. "And with the laughter, we think it might have something to do with drug traffic. You wouldn't happen to know anything, would you Rocket?"
The raccoon scrubbed his chin in thought, as one of the four members of his scantily-clad congregation scratched at his ears. "It's not any of my guys, that's for sure. We don't push to the rodents; they never buy enough stock for it to be worth my time. And besides, my crew doesn't do abductions. That's something an up-and-comer might try to pull… yeah…" Rocket trailed off in thought as he wracked his brains for a potential culprit.
Nick took a moment to look down at Judy, who was still chemically-compromised. A thin smile graced Nick's face as he caught the look of absolute bliss on Judy's face as the female fox petted Judy's long gray ears. Returning his attention to Rocket, Nick caught the raccoon mid-epiphany.
"I think…" Rocket paused to brush away a distracting paw from his inner thigh before continuing. "There's some new boys in town; a gang of giant rats…"
Nick's attention shifted as he batted away the female raccoon's paw, which had been toying dangerously with his belt line.
"I don't know what they're on, but those fracknards never shut up" Rocket recounted. "The big boss threw a gaggle of those clowns out of the club a few nights ago. If anyone's breaking into Rodentian real-estate, I'd bet my tail it's them."
"But why would they be pulling abductions…" pondered Nick. "It's pretty counterproductive to kidnap your own clientele, if you ask me."
"I couldn't tell you, Nicky" replied the mostly naked raccoon. "What I can tell you, is that they're probably using the sewers of Rodentia as a hang out. Once ol' Iron-Hoof threw them out, they all disappeared into the access point down the way. If I were you, I'd start there."
Nick nodded his head in approval as he tried to fight back the female raccoon who was now attempting to undo his Hawaiian shirt. "I like the way you're thinking, Rocket."
Rocket shrugged at Nick from under his blanket of scantily clad female mammals. "Eh, I do what I can. 'Sides, nobody kicks up dust in my district but me." Smiling at Judy's comatose state, Rocket commented. "Now that we're done with 'buisness' how about some pleasure? I've got a brand new batch of after-glow that'll perk your little rabbit right up! What do you say?"
"As much as I'd love that," Nick said, stepping off the couch and sending the female raccoon back to Rocket's harem. "I think it'll be a high order sobering up little-miss-day-tripper here for a proper Steak-out, without any more chemicals."
With the female fox's help, Nick drug the blissful-bunny off the couch and to her feet.
"However," Nick turned his attention back to Rocket. "We could probably use some coffee."
