Here's chapter 82.
Meanwhile, Jack and Judy were finishing shopping for parts for the new radar. After they finished talking with Bogo and Clawhauser, the two couples went their separate ways, as they still had things to do, but they were promised not to tell Nick or Finnick anything about their dating until that themselves cape buffalo and cheetah told them on their own. As they continued walking, they finally located the last store they planned to go to. And there they found the last two pieces of what they were looking for. Once they paid for them, they put both objects in the bags they brought with them, where the other pieces were kept.
Once they left the premises and seeing that all the pieces they needed were there, it was time to go deliver them. Luckily, they weren't that far from where the mobians were. They would only have two blocks to go before they reached their next stop. So it would take them less than 15 minutes to get there. As the two were walking Jack mentioned to Judy that the day after they met the mobians, Tails told her about many of the things he had built. The striped rabbit had been surprised by everything he heard. Then he took into account that although at first glance the pieces they had just bought didn't seem to be for something so advanced, seeing how the fox built several functional communicators with little material that he had at hand, it would not seem strange to him that with these things he could do something big.
"I still can't believe that I had the opportunity to meet such a brilliant mind as Tails, that breaks the scheme that has been had towards foxes a lot" Judy said.
"It is very true. He's the second fox I've met in my life who's a genius when it comes to mechanics or building gadgets," Jack said.
"Do you know another one?"
"Yeah, she's a vixen who works at the detective agency I work for. She is the one who made the devices that I use in the missions and the one who is in charge of the maintenance of my vehicles".
"Wow, I'm surprised that in the time we've been dating they've never mentioned that, although I understand that since they are people you work with, for my safety and that of others you cannot tell us much."
"I'm glad you understand. Although unlike Tails, I don't have much contact with my co-worker, unless it's absolutely necessary before going out on a mission. What's more, I don't know much about her life either and we've never talked or met outside of working hours. But looking at her inventions and comparing them to Tails's, I can see that both of them are absolutely smart."
"With that you tell me, if it weren't for the fact that you both come from different dimensions, I'm sure that both of you would have been friends and even Tails could work in the same agency as you and be her partner."
"It's funny, I thought the same thing as you when Tails told me about his invention last week. Although the strange thing is that when I took the mobians to the agency, my co-worker was nowhere to be found. I hoped that she and Tails could meet and they could both agree to collaborate to build devices that will serve in our future battles to stop Eggman."
"Well, I'm sure that very soon they will be able to contact each other in some way, it will just have to wait a bit."
At that moment, the gray rabbit shook hands with the striped rabbit while continuing to walk. She liked spending quiet times with both him and the red fox, and she wouldn't have liked more if her both mates were with her at the moment, so she could hold both Jack's hand and Nick's hand. She hoped that Nick would be able to finish his bass playing class soon. If that were the case, perhaps the three of them could have a little romantic evening before heading back to the hotel to join the others.
...
In another part of the city, Bogo and Clawhauser went to eat at a small restaurant. After that little encounter with Jack and Judy; and as Clawhauser said before; both felt that they had lost a great weight that did not let them move forward. To celebrate that the cape buffalo invited the cheetah to a nearby restaurant. Fortunately they had enough money, so they could have a meal that would satisfy them, at least until it was dark when it was time for dinner. There were interesting things on the menus, so they ordered what caught their attention the most, and by chance they both ordered the same thing. While waiting for the food to be brought to them, they decided to chat a bit.
"Who would say that would be easy, I mean, revealing our sexualities and relationship would be easier than I expected," Bogo said.
"That's why I suggested that we start by telling them, and although with Jack and Judy it was because they discovered us, for others, we can take the first step to tell them" said Clawhauser.
"We just have to wait and see if they're free to talk to them soon. Since Officer Wilde and his old partner are busy and we don't know where they are right now, maybe tomorrow we'll be lucky to find them."
"Well, we know where they're staying. Tomorrow we could go early shortly after breakfast. I don't think it will take long to go there if we take a taxi."
Before they could continue their conversation, the servers brought their food. After they thanked for the food they brought them, they began to observe it. Everything was appetizing. What they had in front of them were Nigiris (a portion of rice that is partially covered with tortilla or raw fish), Sashimi (a type of cut of fish and seafood and that was served with pieces with soy sauce, ginger, wasabi and vegetables ) and finally Gyozas (some dumplings of Chinese origin that were served with a lot of garlic and little salt, and was stuffed with meat and vegetables)
Once they started eating the food they ordered, which they thought was very delicious, they decided to pause their conversation to savor each dish of typical Japanese food, that they were different from the others they had tried. Sometimes they were surprised by the variable flavors that were in the food of that country. They should definitely take advantage of all this food until the day came to return to Zootopia. Now that they thought about it, they both thought they saw a restaurant that sold food from different parts of the world in their city. Maybe they could go when they got home. Thus they could even populate foods from other parts of the world. If they were as delicious as this, they would already know where to go every time they go on dates.
After they finished eating and rested a bit, they continued with their previous conversation.
"I think that if we are going to visit them at the hotel tomorrow, we should at least find out first if they will be there for the whole day or for the whole day, and if not, at least what time they will leave" said the cape buffalo.
"Not to worry about that, while we were eating I sent Judy a message on the phone, and she just replied…" Clawhauser said taking her phone and looking at the answer. "She says that tomorrow they have no plans to leave, that they will stay resting in their hotel."
After they both got up from the table and paid for what they had just consumed, they both left.
On their walk they started talking about various random topics, when suddenly they could notice some acquaintances they had seen a few days ago, across the street. They were the blue pheasant and the brown fox (Falco and Fox) but they were not alone. They were accompanied by other people, and even what appeared to be a robot was coming with them, although most passersby would think it was someone in disguise.
"I wonder where they'll go," Clawhauser said.
"Me too. From their serious faces it doesn't seem that they are taking a walk. I don't think it's anything serious though. If it were, Officers Wilde and Hopps, or Agent Savage, would have tipped us off by now. In any case, we must keep an eye on any type of call or situation that may occur in the course of the following hours." Bogo said.
Clawhauser nodded to what Bogo said. Finally they both held hands and headed towards their hotel to rest a bit.
...
At the agency, Skye was putting the finishing touches on one of the cars that Jack used on many of the missions. It was a multi-terrain car as it could be used on water, land and air. According to what the vixen found out through her boss, the striped rabbit's parents had died in a vehicle like this. And even she came to hear that inadvertently, he was initially reluctant to ride one. She never witnessed that situation, although perhaps it is because she started working for the agency 2 years after Jack, perhaps by that date he had already agreed to use them, although she wondered what he had to do to overcome what she thought it was a phobia.
Once it was done she came out from under the vehicle, she had a small oil mark. Quickly wiped it off. She was definitely proud of her work. If anyone in that place deserved to have the title of "expert mechanic" it was her, since many people, including her superiors and many of the best agents only entrusted her with their vehicles or devices to be repaired. And it was not for less since she knew how to win on her own merits. Since she in her early years was able to demonstrate to everyone her true value and how important she could be there. Definitely she had been born for this, and even she in her own words said that this life would not change her for anything.
On the other hand, she was fine with her single life. She knew that she didn't need to tie herself to a relationship with another person to be happy as she was. That's why as far as she knew, she and her boss were the only girls in the agency. It wasn't that either of them weren't interested in the opposite sex, but they both had their reasons for not being interested in forming a relationship with someone else. Either way, Skye was the only girl her age who had never taken a romantic interest in Agent Savage years ago. She could still remember how all the other girls tried to get his attention, but without success, he seemed to realize, which was why he never went on missions with any of them. The vixen let out a small laugh as she remembered when they all found out that Jack had formed a relationship with a rabbit that was not part of the agency, and that he had met on his most recent mission, and not only that, but that he shared his relationship with her with another person, who was said to be a fox.
Suddenly her thoughts were brought up by a voice on the loudspeakers in the area where she was working. It was her boss who called her asking to go to her office. She wondered what it was because of her, if she called her directly to go meet her there it must be something important. But what would it be was the question that passed through her mind. She put her toolbox away, and took it out to the place she was called to. Fortunately she wasn't that far away. Once she knocked on the door and was given permission to enter. Both the vixen and the female mouse were facing each other. It could be seen that the female mouse had an expression on her face where her real emotions couldn't be read.
"Agent Winters, I asked you to come, because someone have asked me to send the most expert person with the construction of gadgets that we have in the agency, and that is you" said the female mouse.
"Oh really? And who asked you for that? asked the vixen.
"The Mobians".
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
