The Unplanned Detour - Chapter 16
A/N: I had considered a confrontation between Randall and Dylan and dropped it.
I had also waffled back and forth over the mutation idea before going with it. As for the mutations, they're all very minor and will only impact the story at the end. It's basically like someone having 20/10 vision as opposed to 20/20 - they can see slightly better but that's about it. So, please bear with me.
If you still disagree where my story is going, I encourage you to write your own story, I would love to read it!
Warning: A very brief sex scene is depicted in this chapter. And I do mean brief, you'll see what I mean when you read it. You have been warned. Not sure if I'm going to be putting trigger warnings at the head of any chapters that may have questionable content. This fic is labeled 'Mature' after all.
"Dylan! Listen, there's been a massive jail break at the Zootopia prison! We still don't know how many prisoners have escaped but it looks like most of the Happy Slayers are missing. Every officer is on the streets right now. Be on your guard!" Then the line went dead.
"Dylan? Love? Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Dylan was still in shock when he looked over to his girlfriend "There's been a prison break, at least most of the Happy Slayers have escaped. We need to talk to your parents."
Taking his hand, Zoe led him to her dad's office and knocked before she entered. Both her parents were there, her mother sitting on the corner of her dad's desk as usual. They seemed a little surprised at Dylan and Zoe practically busting in, but they could see the worried expressions they had.
"I'm sorry for coming in like this," Dylan said "But my friend, Nick, had been trying to call me and let me know that there's been a breakout at the prison and most of the gang members that Zoe's attackers belong to have escaped. Would it be okay if she stayed here until they were recaptured?"
"Dylan!" Zoe said reprovingly "I can't stay here. I'm a medical resident, I have responsibilities! Besides, I'm not leaving you."
Dylan turned and looked into Zoe's eyes and she could see the fear in them. Not of the gang members, but fear for her.
"I just don't want you to get hurt Love." Dylan heard Robert cough and saw him trying to hide a smile behind his paw.
Cynthia said "Zoe is right Dylan, you can't let something like this dictate your life. Be watchful and be careful, but live your life."
Robert got up and placed his paw on Dylan's shoulder "You've already lost this one son, trust me, I know." He said as he glanced at his smirking wife.
Dylan sighed. "Okay, then can one of you drive us home? My Jeep is a bit conspicuous."
Robert laughed. "I think we can do a bit better than that." He walked over to a cabinet and opened the door. On the inside of the door were rows of hooks with keys. Grabbing a set, he threw them to Dylan.
"Those go to one of my newer vehicles, a Saharan Motors Growler. Just be careful."
"I will Si.. Robert."
Zoe gave her mom and dad a hug and kiss bye.
Dylan shook Robert's paw again before turning to Cynthia where he paused, unsure whether he should shake her paw, kiss it, or what. The decision was taken from him when Cynthia stepped up to him and embraced him as she did her daughter. She whispered in his ear "Thank you for making Zoe happy."
Dylan smiled back at her as he said "Always my pleasure."
Zoe led Dylan out and around to the enormous garage attached to the side of the house. They entered through a pedestrian door to the side of the garage doors. Dylan paused when they stepped inside and Zoe turned on the lights. There were rows of high end vehicles parked inside.
"Daddy likes to collect cars too." Zoe said with a smirk. She took him to a small, two seater coupe convertible. Dylan helped Zoe in on the passenger side before climbing into the drivers seat. It felt very comfortable, especially as it wasn't designed for human comfort.
As Dylan started the car and pushed the remote for the garage door, Zoe remarked "You know, My dad has never let anyone drive one of his cars before. And, he even called you 'son'!"
Dylan thought about that as he pulled out of the parking spot before he answered. "You know my Love? You're right, he did." Things couldn't have gone better if it wasn't for the jail break weighing on his mind. The drive back was uneventful, even if Dylan started getting on Zoe's nerves by driving by their apartment several times to look for any lurking gang members. Finally, Dylan pulled into an open parking space and they went inside.
oooOOOooo
This was Nick's favorite thing, being able to spend time with his bunny. Especially when she was on her paws and knees with her rear end high in the air on the bed in front of him while he stood on the floor, her little fluffy tail vibrating so fast it was a blur. Nick slowly slid the tip of his penis up and down her center making Judy whimper in need. Finally, he wedged himself at her opening and grabbed her hips as Judy let out a "YES!" while fisting the sheets.
Suddenly, both their phones gave off three extremely loud, short, bursts of obnoxious sound one after the other, followed by a high pitched tone that made Judy grunt in pain. Nick immediately let go of Judy's hips to let her up, his erection forgotten about. "Recall, recall, recall... All units are to report to Sahara Central. There has been a prison break at Zootopia Prison. Multiple inmates have escaped and there are reports of injuries."
"SWEET CHEESE AND CRACKERS!" Judy screamed in frustration. The announcement repeated another two times before it ended. Nick was worried that maybe Bellwether was one of the escapees. That is, until he looked over at his wife and saw the look in her eyes.
"Carrots?"
"They've cost my my fox time! By Nemesis, I will make them pay!"
Oh shit! Nick thought some mammals are going to die tonight! They both got dressed faster than they ever had before and ran to their police cruiser. Judy jumped into the drivers seat while Nick keyed the radio.
"Unit Z-240 10-8"
"Copy Z-240, 10-98, 10-39, Head to Highlake and Vine. We're setting up a perimeter before working our way toward the prison. Number of escaped inmates is estimated at fifty, that is 'five oh' inmates. Advise when 10-23"
"Copy Highlake and Vine, estimated 'five oh' inmates escaped. Request sitrep on the prisoner Bellwether."
"Z-240, be advised that prisoner Bellwether is already accounted for."
"Z-240 copies, 10-76 Highlake and Vine." Nick sighed in relief as Judy punched the accelerator forcing him back in the seat. He'd never gotten used to how wild Judy drove during emergencies. But, she'd never had an accident so, hopefully, she wouldn't this time either. They were close to their assigned area when Nick spotted a flash of white go into an alleyway just ahead of them.
"Alley" he said, letting Judy know he saw something.
"Saw it" Judy replied as she slammed on the breaks causing the tires to squeal and pushing Nick forward into his seatbelt. They jumped out and drew their dart pistols, not taking any chances. Reaching up with his left paw, he keyed his portable radio. "HQ, Unit Z-240, 10-75 possible escapee, alleyway on Vine between Overn and Breakfront. Request backup."
"Copy Z-240, 10-75 Overn and Breakfront. Be advised, no backup available, proceed with caution."
"Great." Nick mumbled as he used both hands to grip his pistol. Nick covered Judy as she jumped across the alley. Being a bunny really helped in times like this. The distances Judy could cover still amazed him. Covering each other they made their way deeper into the alley checking under and over objects, not just around them.
Even though they were being alert, they were still surprised when a mammal exploded out of a pile of garbage aiming for Nick. He was able to get off one shot before he was bowled over. The sound of the dart hitting a dumpster indicated he'd missed. Judy, with her bunny reflexes, was able to lead the target, fire, and hit center mass. The escapee, a serval, stood up and started to try and reach the entrance to the alley only to quickly begin to stumble around before falling over.
Judy rushed over to Nick who was groaning and trying to sit up. "Nick! Are you okay?"
"Ugh, just got the breath knocked out of me."
Judy helped her partner and husband to his paws when she noticed that her paw was sticky. She raised her paw near her nose and sniffed. Blood. "Nick! You're bleeding!"
"Just a scratch Carrots, I'll be alright. Let's get this done."
"Yeah, well, that's assault on a Law Enforcement Officer added to whatever his original sentence was, plus the escape." They dragged the serval to the street and paw cuffed him before putting him in the back of their cruiser. Judy got in the drivers seat as Nick once again keyed the radio. "HQ, Z-240. 10-95."
"Copy Z-240."
Judy took off and headed for their original objective. Once they were a few blocks away from the location of the prison, they started seeing other patrol cars. When they reached their assigned location, Nick called it in and they were told to stand by. About a minute later they heard Chief Bogo on the radio. "All units, begin foot search for any escaped mammals. Maintain intervals. Leapfrog by street starting with even numbers, odd numbers cover. Be advised some mammals could be armed and dangerous, proceed with caution."
Judy looked over at Nick and he just shrugged, wincing a little as it pulled on his clawed arm. Walking down the center of the street, they each took one side to scrutinize. There were no alleys here so they were mainly looking for building or vehicle break-ins. The first block was clear, as was the second. However, on the third Judy noticed the front door of a townhouse slightly ajar with the glass broken.
"Nick" Judy said as she nodded her head in the direction of the door.
Nick nodded as he used his radio "HQ. Z-240, possible 10-31 at 1204 Highlake, checking it out."
"Copy Z-240. Advise when 10-24."
Being smaller, Judy knelt down beside the door. Nick stood on the other side of the doorway. Fortunately the lights seemed to be on. Both glanced inside but saw nothing. Slowly stepping into the entry they saw a stairway going up to the left and a door right next to it. On the right was a set of double doors, both closed. Catching Nick's eye, Judy nodded toward the double doors while she covered the other door and the stairs. Nick nodded back and, standing off to the side, used his off hand to open the door slowly. Peeking inside, he could see it was a medium mammal town home with two more doors in the north wall. Moving into the room, making sure no one was hiding under the bed, Nick checked the first room. It turned out to be an empty bathroom. The next door was a closet. "Clear" Nick voiced quietly before leaving the bedroom.
Nick covered Judy as she tried the other door which turned out led to a garage. No vehicles were present and the garage door was down. Backing out of the garage, Judy joined Nick as they began slowly climbing the stairs, keeping their weapons trained above them. The second floor consisted of the living room, dining room, and the kitchen which they were able to quickly clear.
Continuing upwards, they ended up on the third floor landing with a door to their immediate left, and then a door further down a hallway. Judy watched the door down the hallway while Nick tried the door. I was another bedroom, this one with another door in the same wall and a set of double accordion doors, probably a closet given the slats. Nick entered and checked out the room and the closet before opening the other door to find a unoccupied bathroom. "Clear" Nick said in a low voice and took up the support position behind Judy as they made their way to the final door.
When they pushed the door open, they could see a bush pig standing behind a nanny goat holding a kitchen knife to her throat. The goat looked terrified, sniffling and trembling, trying no to whimper.
"Don't come any closer!"
Judy could see the wild look in the pigs eyes. She took her left paw off her gun and held it pad out toward the pig as she moved to her right and further into the room.
"Okay, let's not do anything rash okay? No one wants to hurt anyone else." While she was trying to talk to the pig and de-escelate the situation, Nick moved in and to the left of the door.
"I SAID DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! I'LL KILL HER! I MEAN IT!" the Bush Pig yelled.
"No!" Judy exclaimed. "You don't want to hurt her and we don't want to hurt you."
"PUT YOUR GUN DOWN!"
"I can't do that. I promise that you won't be harmed."
"PUT YOUR GUN DOWN OR I'LL KILL HER! HIM TOO!" the Bush Pig threatened, pressing the blade of the knife harder against the Nanny goats throat. She closed her eyes and whimpered.
"Okay. Okay, you got me. I'm putting my gun down." Judy made a show of taking her left paw off her gun and showing the pad to him again. Then she moved the gun so that it was pointed toward the ceiling with it's side facing him. Nick started bending down as if he was putting his gun down as well when he abruptly snapped his pistol toward the pig and shot him in the foot.
Judy had used a phrase they came up with so that Nick would know to back her play. 'You got me' wasn't a statement to the pig, it was code for Nick to be ready, and ready he was.
The Bush Pig tossed his head back and howled in pain, dropping the knife to the floor. Shooting a suspect in the foot wasn't recommended since shooting the extremities wouldn't deliver the dose of tranquilizer as quickly as needed. However, it made for a great distraction.
When Nick's shot connected and the pig dropped the knife, Judy moved. Most mammals had no idea how far a bunny could leap. Even though Nick was familiar with Judy and her paw to paw combat moves. He could barely make out when she leaped toward the pig, her left leg kicking out and hitting his right arm forcing it out away from his body as her right leg kicked up and caught him just under the muzzle, causing him to fall backwards and crash onto the floor.
Nick walked up to the unconscious mammal and said "You've been watching too may cop shows." and then shot him in the chest to make sure he stayed out. Judy helped the nanny goat to her feet after she had fallen getting away from the Bush Pig.
"Are you okay Ma'am?" Judy asked.
"Am I okay?!" the nanny goat responded "I just got rescued by the Wildes! My husband is never going to believe this!" She then gave Judy a hug so tight that Judy was only able to grunt out "You're welcome. Tight, too tight!"
Nick was surprised when the Nanny Goat released Judy only to slam into him and give him the same bone crushing hug. Even with the notoriety he'd gained from the Night Howler incident, and all the good work he'd done while a cop, this was the first time anyone had actually hugged him in thanks. It was the best he'd felt in a long time.
Nick was finally able to break from the hug when she ran to the bedside table for some paper and a pen for their autographs. Nick pawcuffed the Bush Pig and then signed the paper for Clara, the nanny goats name. 'To Clara, stay safe, the Wildes' It made her night.
Nick and Judy dragged the pig down the stairs to the outside. And if his head bounced on the stairs on the way down, at least they were carpeted. After the first set of stairs though, the fun was over for Nick. So he asked "Carrots? Maybe we should drag him down shoulders first?" Judy looked over at Nick and he could see the fire in her eyes "They interrupted my fox time!" May Eleos grant them mercy because my bunny has none right now. Nick thought.
Reaching the ground, Nick removed one pawcuff before wrapping the pigs arms around a streetlight and cuffing the paw again. He'd be secure until he could be picked up and taken back to prison. Nick radioed in before him and Judy continued their advance
"HQ, 10-91 1204 Highlake."
"HQ copies, good work!" Nick sighed, it was going to be a long night.
oooOOOooo
Of course, Amanda and Desiree, being the kind of mammals they were, had been waiting all day to get the inside scoop. Dylan hadn't even finished opening the door before Amanda was there asking "So, how did it go? Must not have been too bad, Dylan still has all of his limbs attached."
Zoe puffed up with a big grin on her face and said "Girls, I'd like you to meet my parent approved boyfriend!" Then she grabbed his arm and hugged it to her as she danced on her toes.
Amanda let out a loud "Yes!" as Desiree settled for the more subdued fist pump. Zoe gave Dylan a quick kiss on the lips before telling him she would go take a shower. Unfortunately, that left Dylan to field all the questions from their roommates. Dylan described everything that happened from the time he got to Zoe's parents house until they left. Both Amanda and Desiree would give little squeals of joy and excitement, coupled with dancing in their seats, during certain parts of his recitation. They both grinned and high three'd each other when Dylan explained how Zoe had told him that her and her mother would be collaborating on his and Zoe's upcoming wedding. They made him well aware of their displeasure when he admitted he hadn't asked her to marry him yet. Amanda and Desiree were only mollified when he promised that he planned on asking her soon, as in by the upcoming weekend. T
hey giggled when he mentioned about how Zoe's dad asked him 'the question'. Then he told them about how Zoe's younger sister, Tara, had a crush on him.
"I swear, that girl is trying to grow up too fast." Amanda said disapprovingly. The bathroom door opened and all three of their heads swiveled toward the sound. Zoe exited out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and disappeared into the bedroom after catching Dylan's eyes.
Dylan stood up "Well ladies, time for my shower. I'll wish you both good night and sweet dreams." As soon as Dylan closed the bathroom door, Amanda reached under the coffee table and pulled out a large magazine that Dylan would have recognized if he saw it. He didn't know the title, but all three of his other roommates did, Penelope's Party Dresses, Bridal Edition. Brides, Maids of Honor, and Bridesmaids dresses for every species.
Dylan walked into a cloud of steam. It was humid and smelled like Zoe's fur cleaner. He had to wipe the mirror down with a towel to be able to see his refection. He brushed his teeth and then stripped out of his clothing, placing them in the dirty clothes hamper. As he stepped into the shower, his eyes were drawn to a can on one of the recessed shelves. It was his body spray, Rruff. The one he'd left in the bottom of his shaving kit. Dylan exited the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Being focused on Zoe, he failed to notice the look that Amanda and Desiree shared before they grinned and giggled.
A/N: Okay, had quite a bit of action in this one. I've never written something like that before so I hoped that y'all enjoyed it! Pretty much all of my research is by way of Google, just saying.
Nemesis is the Greek goddess of vengeance. And I felt that, if I were in the situation where Judy was, I'd want to invoke her as well.
Eleos is the Greek god of mercy.

A/N: Next chapter will have another sex scene in it. I want to be descriptive without being pornographic and I feel that it's a pretty fine line between the two. I've never written one before but I will do my best.
