While Judy was waiting for Nick to pick her up to do something special, she got a phone call from Chief Bogo. Judy was supposed to be picked up at 6:30, but now it was 10:00. She was worried that something bad happened to him. Bogo told her to go down to the park ASAP. She tried to ask what was going on, but he didn't tell her. Once she hung up the phone, she darted out the door, hoping that Nick was not hurt.

Once she arrived at the park, she saw a bunch of police officers standing in one area of the park. She hurried over to talk to Chief Bogo.

"What's going on chief?"

"Judy, you're partner has been shot while setting up a picnic out over here."

Judy's heart felt like it stopped for a moment once she heard that Nick was shot. She instantly started to cry. She was scared and worried about him now that they love each other.

"Is he okay?"

"He is down at the hospital right now, but before you leave, I need to show you something."

Bogo led Judy to the scene where she saw a blanket that was now covered in blood and a picnic basket. Judy went over to the basket and opened it. Once she saw what was in there, she started to cry. She didn't know what Nick was planning all day, but now she found out what he was trying to do. Judy even looked at the glorious view from where Nick set the picnic area up. A million questions raced through Judy's head as she sprinted over to chief Bogo.

"I need to go see Nick. How bad was he?"

"Once we arrived, we found him unconscious and a bullet wound in his chest. The bullet didn't exit out of the body, but he is real lucky. From what we heard, he could've died if he hadn't moved. He tried jumping to the left to avoid being hit. He was still hit, but luckily it wasn't around the heart. I'll let you go over there, but I want you to ask him what happened so we can get more information."

"Ok, thanks chief."

As Judy ran to her car, she thought about what Bogo said. He could've died.

Judy told herself, "Please Nick, I need you."

Once she arrived at the hospital, she quickly went up to the front desk.

"I'm looking for Nick Wilde. Do you know what room he is in?"

The woman at the front desk was a white tiger. She got out the room list and told Judy, "Yes, he is in room 33. He just got out of surgery from what I heard, so take it easy."

"Alright, thank you."

As she walked down the hall to his room, she was worried sick about what he would say. She was scared that Nick might die from his injuries. She didn't want to think that. Think happy things. Once she arrived, she slowly opened the door until she was able to come inside. The room was dark and quiet. She looked over and saw Nick who apparently was sleeping. He looked so miserable. She walked up to the side of the bed and sat down.

"Nick…..Nick…..Nick," she kept whispering until his eyes popped open quickly. He quickly sat up, looking scared. The pain from his surgery was still there. Once he sat up, Judy heard him let out a little yelp.

"It's okay Nick, calm down."

"J-Judy?"

"Shhh, lay back down."

Nick slowly laid his head back on the soft pillow. Once he was back on his pillow, Judy kept talking.

"I heard what happened. I'm sorry; I wasn't there to protect you."

"It's okay; it's not your fault. I found a spot to set up the picnic for us. I was getting ready to head back to my car to pick you up when I was shot. I didn't know what happened. I blacked out after a while."

"You scared me! I thought you were dead!"

"Calm down Carrots. I would never die knowing that you can't live your life without me."

Judy began to blush. Nick could see her with his night vision, but Judy couldn't see him real well.

"You should go back to your apartment and get some sleep," Nick said.

Judy responded, "No, I'm not leaving you. I'm staying here for the night."

"Alrighty then. I should get some sleep; it's getting a little late. *Yawn* Goodnight Carrots."

Judy stood up and walked over to him. She softly wrapped her arms around him, to avoid injuring him even more. Then, she softly planted a kiss on his forehead.

"Goodnight my sly fox."

She sat back down and started stroking his head softly until he fell asleep. Judy had a small grin on her face knowing that Nick would be alright. She thought, "He looks so cute when he is sleeping." She gave him another soft kiss on his head then fell asleep.
