Nick and Judy stayed in bed for a little while longer until Judy got up and started packing.

"We should start packing. I told my mom that we will be leaving this morning."

"But the bed is so soft…..I don't want to get up," Nick whined.

A few minutes later they were both up and dressed with their suitcases at the front door.

"Sorry about Stu, Nick," Bonnie apologizes.

"It's fine. It didn't kill me."

Nick and Judy gave hugs to Judy's mother. Stu was inside and didn't want to see them. He was still mad after what happened this morning. They loaded the luggage in the back and drove away. It was a nice day. They were silent for pretty much the whole trip back until the radio went off.

"Hopps, Wilde," Bogo said into the radio.

Judy answered, "Hopps and Wilde here. What do you need?"

"Sorry to interrupt your vacation time, but we have found something that you may want to see."

"We are on our way back now. We will be at the station in a little bit."

They have completely forgotten about the case they were on. Nick could only think about what his mother told him when they were over at his mother's house. Bogo said that they would send groups over to the old and abandoned warehouse to find out if it is the suspects' hideout. Nick looked over at Judy in confusion, "I wonder what they have found. I hope it is something that will help us solve this case. Honestly, I'm tired of it."

"We're getting there Nick. We just need more information about the group."

When they arrived at the ZPD, they were happily greeted by Clawhauser. Like always, he is eating his doughnuts.

"Hi guys!"

"Hi Clawhauser, How have you been," Judy responded.

"Fine, Chief Bogo wants you two down at the warehouse."

"Alright"

Nick and Judy both got changed into their uniform and headed out. They had no idea on what they could expect over there. It could be something very bad or very good. Judy was worried about Nick because she remembered what happened on the first date. Nick was shot. She didn't want to lose him. She could think of their future. They could get married and have kids and have a great life. Judy wanted all of that to happen. On the other hand, Nick was worried about Judy. He doesn't want her to get hurt in any way, even if he has to kill someone to protect her. He would fight for her life even if he dies as well. As they pulled up to the front of the warehouse, they realized that there multiple cars there. They immediately went over to Bogo to find out what was going on.

"Sorry to ruin your vacation, but we have a few hostages inside the building. It turns out that this is their base and they have bombs everywhere. We need you two to go inside and help talk them out of killing the innocent people that are in there. There are a few other officers inside and they need your help as well. Be careful and be safe."

Nick began to worry about Judy. The place was filled with bombs as well as many drugs and weapons. They looked around for a while until they found the hostages. Nick gave a quick look at them until what he saw next nearly kills him. Sitting in one of the chairs is his mother.

"M-m-mom," Nick said and almost started crying.

Standing right next to her was Alex. He saw the two officers and started talking.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here."

Nick pushed Judy back behind him to protect her.

"What are you doing!?"

"What does it look like I am doing? I am holding some of these people hostage, including your mother."

"Why are you doing this?"

"You see, animals these days can do whatever they want. They think that they can do anything to be better than another animal, even when the other animal is a predator. I thought hey, foxes are the most species that does that, so let's get rid of them. I remember years back when I killed your father."

"So you are just jealous that some other animals believe that they are better than you!?"

"Exactly, this is a way to show other people that I am better than any other animal. Let's get down to business. If you dare to take one shot out of that gun or tranquilizer, I will kill all of the hostages I have and blow up the place. If you let me go, I will let all of your people free. I will give you some time to think about that."

Nick and Judy walked back out the front door until Nick collapsed. He was terrified that his mother was going to die. Judy was right by his side and helped him back up to his feet. Nick had a plan and he needed to talk to Bogo about it. Nick raced over to Bogo and told him about what Alex said. He also began to talk about his plan, "I have a plan to stop him. I will let you go in and talk to him while I sneak around the side and attack him. It is dangerous, but I will do anything to save my mother. There are other guards around the building, but there are none around him. If we take out all of the guards, I can take out him."

Bogo replied, "Fine, but be careful."

Nick then walked back over to Judy, "Carrots, I need you to stay out here."

"Why, I want to help!?"

"I can't let you do that. It is too dangerous. It is a risk that I have to take. Bogo and I are going in with a couple other officers to take down the guards. Once we do that, I will take out Alex."

"No, I'm coming in with you!"

Nick signaled a couple officers to come and take Judy over to the car. She tried to fight it, but they were too strong. She kept on yelling and screaming until a pain rushed through her body. After a few seconds, she was out. The officers put her in the car and stayed by it to make sure that she doesn't get out. After all of that, Nick, Bogo, and a few others went in from the side entrances. They took out all of the guards until it was just Alex that was left. Nick got into position.

"Alex, we have made a decision….."

Just then, both of them heard a gunshot. Nick was in complete shock as he saw his mother fall to the floor.

"MOM!"

Nick got up and started shooting at him. After a few seconds an extremely large amount of pain swept across him as he fell to the floor. Just seconds after, he saw Alex fall to the ground dead. Nick put his paws over where the pain was. He saw his own blood; then he saw Judy running to him. She must've gotten out and ran in. It was hard to hear what she was saying.

"NIIICK! I'm right here Nick. Stay with me…..come on stay with me….everything will be alright….."

Nick looked up and told Judy, "I-I l-love y-you Ca-rrots."

Nick then was out.
