Here's chapter 88.
In another part of town, Jack was having lunch at a hotel along with Nick, Judy, Finnick, Nicole, Jerry, Stu, Bonnie, and Mrs. Wilde. On this particular occasion, they didn't order room service for their meals, as the two older rabbits, as well as the older vixen, wanted to prepare food for all of their relatives (even Jack and Finnick whom they regarded as part of the family) During the morning they prepared a common Zootopia breakfast (in the case of Mrs. Wilde) and a common Bunnyburrow breakfast (in the case of Stu and Bonnie) Everyone enjoyed them. But when it was time for lunch, the vixen and the two rabbits surprised their relatives with something special.
While Nick's mother and Judy's parents made dinner; Jack was currently sitting in one of the armchairs, with his son Jerry sitting on his lap, next to him was Judy, and on the other side of him was Finnick. Nick was sitting on the other side of Judy holding his daughter Nicole. While they were chatting, the striped rabbit suddenly began receiving a call on his communicator, he got up from his seat to answer, and dropped Jerry into Judy's lap before momentarily going into another of the rooms to answer the call and see who was making the call. He didn't stay in the living room because if it was something very important he didn't want Mrs. Wilde, Stu and Bonnie listening to worry them; and although these three were in a room that could be used as a kitchen, they could hear what was happening in the room from there.
When he pressed the buttons to answer, he saw that it was his boss who was calling him.
"Good afternoon, Agent Savage."
"Good afternoon, boss. Has something serious happened?"
"No, for the moment everything is calm. I came to let you know that yesterday the construction of the new radars to locate the missing chaos emeralds was finished."
The rabbit was surprised to hear that. He didn't expect that 4 people doing it could make the amount they told him they would the day before. "I understand. Do the other agents already have theirs?
"Yes, when Agent Winters returned to the base, she brought several of them for the agents who are here. She also handed three of them over to the agents there who are in contact with Shadow and Rouge. All that remains is for you and Officers Wilde and Hopps to receive yours."
"Okay, then, we'll go look for them in a bit."
"It won't be necessary. They will be delivered to you during the afternoon, you just dedicate yourselves to rest. You already went through a lot over the weekend. Your order is to rest until it is necessary for you and your companions to become involved. The mobians or I will contact you in case something happens."
"The agents who will take them will notify me when they have delivered them. Well, that would be all for now, I wish you a good rest for now."
"Thank you very much, boss."
"You're welcome, Agent Savage."
After that, the communication ended.
Jack returned to the living room with the rest of his family, he told them not to worry about anything, everything was fine. For now. He told them about the radars that were going to be brought to them during the course of the afternoon, and that the only thing they would have to do for the moment is relax, they would not receive any calls from the mobians or the agency unless it was for a situation considerably important. That made them all feel calm, they just waited for Eggman to have a few days of relaxation too so they wouldn't worry that he was going to attack the city, although this would obviously be a dream, nothing more. At least they could enjoy a little more free time.
Once the explanation was finished, a delicious aroma began to be felt that would make the four adults and two children present in the room hungry. For Jack, Finnick, Nicole and Jerry it was a new smell, but for Nick and Judy those smells were familiar to each of them. They hadn't felt them since each of the two were little children. It turned out that they were the aromas of the meals that their respective parents made for them on special occasions. That brought back fond memories of their respective childhoods, and in Nick's case when bad things didn't happen to him related to herbivores. Now they understood why Stu, Bonnie and Mrs. Wilde had insisted on preparing everyone's food that specific day. And it is that in secret, during the previous days when they went out for walks, they bought the ingredients to prepare that day's food.
Once the two rabbits and the fox arrived in the living room, they presented everyone with the food they had prepared. Both Nick and Judy's mouths watered at what their respective parents had prepared. And they weren't the only ones, since Jack, Finnick, Nicole and Jerry had the same reaction when they saw that. It was a reaction that looked as if neither of them had eaten in days. Even Nick, Finnick and Nicole could be seen watching their tails wagging from one place to another, and though among them Finnick tried to control the wagging of his tail, he couldn't do it at the moment even if he tried with all his might. They were pretty much drawn to the smell of the food anyway, which at the time, they didn't care much for anything else at the time.
Food and cutlery were placed on the table. In front of each of those present there. After that; Stu, Bonnie, and Mrs. Wilde sat down and began dividing up everyone's portions. The others just looked at them excitedly as they did so. They all looked like excited kids at that moment even though only two of them were kids. When they saw that everything was already served on their respective plates, they took the cutlery and began to taste the delicious food freshly prepared by the two rabbits and the vixen.
The first bite was delicious for them, although in the case of Nick and Judy they began to shed several tears of happiness when they tasted said food. Both hadn't realized how much they'd missed eating this all those years. And they liked the idea that they could share this deliciousness with Jack, Finnick, Nicole and Jerry. Which, seeing how they ate synchronized, gave them the idea that they really liked what they were trying for the first time. At that same moment Stu, Bonnie and Mrs. Wilde also sat down to have lunch with the rest of the family watching with happiness how what they had prepared really liked those who ate it for the first time. They were also happy to see how their respective children still liked that food like they did when they were kids. They also helped themselves to a portion to eat with the rest of the family.
Once they were done, everyone was satisfied and decided to rest for a bit. So they decided to talk to pass the time.
"I didn't expect you were going to make my favorite childhood food mom and dad, thank you very much" said Judy.
"Same with you mom. This was a big surprise for me, thank you," said Nick.
"It doesn't matter. We knew they would be delighted by this surprise" said Stu.
"We had been planning to do this since the day we got to town," Bonnie said.
"Although it took us a bit of time to get it done, as we had to find the specific ingredients we were looking for, in every store we went to these days," said Ms. Wilde.
"I have to say with all honesty that what you prepared is the best I've ever tasted, and this comes from someone who has been to various parts of the world and tried food from various countries," said Jack.
"In my case, this is pretty good, that's all I can say" Finnick said in a serious way, although the way he said it made everyone realize that it was his way of leaving a compliment in this situation.
"We loved it. When can we eat that again?" Nicole and Jerry said in unison, their eyes sparkling with happiness.
Everyone let out a small laugh, since it was the first time they saw children asking something like that, usually they never showed that emotion to try something they just ate for the first time, so they must have liked it so much to they will react that way.
"Well, it will be very soon. But we won't tell you when, as it might ruin the surprise for you," Bonnie said.
"And if they're good kids, they'll both get a double helping," said Mrs. Wilde.
"And your portions will be bigger than everyone else's," Stu said.
Nicole and Jerry, upon hearing that, approached their grandfather and grandmothers and gave them a hug.
Just at the moment it was heard that someone began to knock on the door, Jack at that moment guessed who was outside, so he got up from the armchair and went to answer it. Just as expected it was Honey, Hugo and Morris who were there. The three of them carried in their hands the radars that they came to deliver to Nick, Judy and Jack. They kept them in small bags that they brought with them so as not to attract anyone's attention, since they suspected that Eggman had cameras everywhere to see what was happening around the city. Fortunately in that room they had all the curtains closed, no one could see them from outside. And once they entered, they noticed that there were no cameras or anything following them and they finally closed the door while still looking around.
Once reunited with the others, Jack introduced Honey, Hugo, and Morris to Nick, Judy, Finnick, Nicole, Jerry, Stu, Bonnie, and Mrs. Wilde. Seeing them, Nick and Judy were shocked to see two of them. Since Hugo looked a lot like Clawhauser, they might even be brothers. On the other hand, Morris looked a bit like a certain polar bear they had met years ago, named Koslov. They were identical, except that Morris was much younger. When Jack saw them and realized that they looked familiar, since they had told him years ago in detail about the first case they solved together, he told them in a low voice that Morris's father is Koslov, but that Morris wanted to follow a different path in his life. And that's why he's an agent, he's been the youngest member to become a full-fledged agent, since he was a minor when he joined the agency.
After that, the three newly arrived agents took out the radars from their backpacks. They were exactly the same as the ones the mobians had. They explained how these worked, since they had a more complex method of use so that not everyone (even Eggman) knew how to use them. So Nick, Judy and Jack were paying due attention. Finnick, Nick's mother and Judy's parents also paid attention that if one of them had to participate in the search for some reason, it was also better to know how to use the device, since with everything what was happening, no one would know if they would end up involved in any situation that required them to search for the missing emeralds.
While all this was happening, the children decided to entertain themselves by watching television. Their parents put the TV on for them to entertain themselves, and they were just showing the program that Koka and Hana liked to watch on television, so they decided to watch a few episodes. They had already seen some in the previous days, and they had found it interesting. So other episodes every time they aired. At that moment Nicole and Jerry began to wonder what their friends were doing at that moment. They hoped they were okay. Perhaps they could communicate with them through their comlinks to talk to them. You would as soon as they finished watching the show.
So far the chapter. I hope you liked it.
