Record 8 - Here I am!

Recording - Wilde 1-H

I would usually laugh at Carrots' blind optimism, but I think she's not entirely wrong...

lately things are getting better for she and for me... the mammals have been slowly forgetting her disastrous press conference and have started to respect her more, and me... well, not to brag, but I'm the second best in my class... but for Carrots and what she knows, I'm number one... even my classmates have stopped the silly jokes and the speciesist comments... Who knew that the only thing I had to do was to save their lives!

MuzzleTime October 23 2016 - 7 am.

Carrots-92:

I don't believe you lasted 5 minutes in combat testing!

DumbFox:

Well, believe it or not Carrots, I'm the best...30 seconds away from beating a certain obsessive cadet's record... By the way... When are you going to fix my username!

Carrots-92:

Oh poor old fox, I forgot you're too old and don't know about technology.

DumbFox:

I will take my revenge Hopps, you won't know when or where or how...

Carrots-92:

You're too far away to worry me, you won't know how.

DumbFox:

Remember, I've got Finnick there a few steps away from a certain bunny

who thinks she outsmarts me, remember my words young lady!

Carrots-92:

I already knew the apartment wasn't free. Well, I gotta go,

I finished my paperwork on case 23 and I can patrol today!

DumbFox:

23r? The one with the killer cheese?

Carrots-92:

I already told you, you're not good at naming cases...and that attack was serious.

DumbFox:

Yeah, those soy cheeses are super dangerous... I should consider if I'm ready when I leave the academy for something like that...

Carrots-92:

jar, jar, see ya slick!

- And why are you so smiling Hopps? No one can be happy working the 7 a.m. shift. - The tigress placed her coffee on the coffee table and gave a loud yawn.

- Oh it's just that I'm more of a morning person.

- Don't listen to her Fangmeyer, didn't you see she was talking to her "friend" the fox? That's why she's so happy.

- Of course Wolfard! Now it all makes sense...

- You look like a couple of kids. Ready to patrol? We got to Sahara Square, but despite the heat I think it's gonna be great because...!

- Woah, woah, stop right there Ms. Speedster, obviously someone spent so much time on paperwork. I'll get the keys and we'll go.

- We'll wait for you outside Tim. Jude, I need to go to the restroom, wait for us out front.

- Sure Thai!

The doe turned around when she noticed a couple of Griffe d'or tickets falling out of her tiger companion's pocket.

- What could it be?- Judy grabbed her cell phone, and obviously turned to her trusted source of zootopian information.

WhatsApp:

Carrots:

Hey Nick, do you know what Griffe d'or is?

Slick Nick:

Only five minutes and the little bunny can't live without the sly fox...

Wait, Griffe d'or, the fanciest restaurant of Zootopia?

Wow I don't know who's courting you, but he's going serious.

Carrots:

No, it's not me, forget it. Get back to training!

Slick Nick:

Hey that's not fair!

You can't just come in here and drop something like that

and send me off to study.

Carrots?

Hey Carrots don't be unfair!

I'll get my revenge.

The little gray bunny laughed to herself and put her cell phone in her pocket.

- Well, off to make the world a better place! - She literally skipped merrily down the hall to the door. - Bye Ben!

- Take care Judy!... One of these days she'll get crushed!

Just as her partners said, the patrol, with its special seat, was waiting for her.

- Ready, fellows! - She said enthusiastically as she climbed into her seat.

- Well Hopps, you're about to see this handsome wolf's talent in action!

- Aren't you related to Nick? You both act exactly alike!

- I think it's more of a canine thing. - Officer Fangmeyer joined in the mockery.

- Very funny ladies! But what can I expect from a feline, you know, you guys are too... self-centered, aren't you?

- What! Of course not!

- Oh no, and what about Priscilla Miauness? That lioness can't love herself more because it would be illegal.

- Hey! Leave Priscilla out of this! She's my favorite actress! - Judy screamed.

- It couldn't be any other way... you ladies...

-We know how to recognize real talent not like you guys… who can get nuts with a howl?

- Hey, this time you went too far Thai!

Judy was enjoying the usual banter of her companions, when suddenly, a dark shadow at high speed entering under an old bridge caught her attention.

- Stop Tim! Stop now! 1024 to the right! - Judy shouted, unbuckling her seatbelt, and a second later she shot out of the vehicle.

- Do you think Bogo will take it badly that we lost his most promising officer?

- Shut up and chase her, Tim! Alert dispatch.

The experienced officers ran trying to catch up with the bunny, who was already well ahead of them. Luckily for them, she arrived just in time to stop an assault. Judy jumped between the assailant, an old angry jaguar.

- Stop in the name of the law! I... - The officer looked back and was perplexed. - You? What are you doing here?

Recording - Hopps 1-H

I had heard that sometimes fate surprises you with crazy and improbable coincidences... but I think this time it was too much... I mean, how likely is it to know the mugging victim?

Stop Recording- Hopps 1-H

…

- Listen slackers, just because you successfully passed the midterm 2 test, doesn't mean you can relax. You lived it a few months ago, crime doesn't stop and we must stay current. Today we will start with weapons training. We don't usually use them, but I repeat, you never know...

- Finally we get to weapons! - The bison gave a little jump of joy.

- Wow Spongy, I didn't think you were the violent type.

- It's just that maybe in reflexes and speed I haven't been the best, but my aim with weapons is excellent!

- Have you practiced with them before?

- Sure, since I was a kid, for hours in Call of Fury!

- Why am I not surprised! - The fox rolled his eyes and smiled slightly.

- All right, line up according to your numbers. You will enter each booth, put on your goggles, gloves and on my signal you will fire.

The 10 cadets obeyed the polar bear. Although seeing the weapons up close like this brought back bad memories for Nick, he picked up his machine gun, sighed and concentrated on the target markings.

Unexpectedly, however, platforms with armed animals emerged from the ground and began firing at the cadets with what, not so obviously to them, were dummy bullets.

- Grizzby move! Bali, tiger, shame on you! Trunkers look like statues, you two would be dead on field by now!

- It wasn't fair, Major. - The elephant tried to coordinate and raise his gun. - We didn't know what would happen.

- Oh excuse me Trunkers-male! When you get assigned to a precinct, remind me to tell the criminals not to forget to text you! MOVE!

As the bullets hit the animals, they exploded and sprayed them with red paint, simulating blood. After 3 intense minutes, which seemed like an eternity, Major Friedkin looked with shame at her cadets who were practically covered in paint, except for a certain fox who was surprisingly intact.

- Wow Wilde, you defeated your opponent... I must say I am pleasantly surprised, especially after the pathetic efforts of the others, I haven't seen such marksmanship since...

- Cadet Carl Latrans, over 20 years ago. - A deep voice made them all turn to watch an old, burly, one-eyed coyote in a sergeant's outfit enter the room. - Good to see a promising cadet... Cadet Wilde. - He said, emphasizing each letter of the last name.

Nick felt a shiver run through his being, he opened his eyes wide, failing a little to hide the fact that the old cop had unsettled him.

- Sergeant Latrans, it's a pleasure to have you visit! You're just in time to help these cretins... they're going to need it.

- Don't worry Friedkin, they're all mine from here on...

…

Recording - Wilde 2-H

Well, I have to give some credit to fate...apparently it will make me face every stone of my past before I became an officer...if I ever will... Is this a sign?

Stop Recording- Wilde 2-H

…

- Help me... please... - The sweet, almost imperceptible voice of the victim reached the officer's big ears, as well as the threat of the assailant, a furious jaguar.

- Step aside cottontail! This is between me and the lady!

- She doesn't look happy at all, paws in the air!

- Oh, the bunny wants to play huh? - The thief reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pistol which he pointed at Judy, making her and the victim, who was still lying on the floor, trembling with fear, nervous.

- Try to calm down... - Damn, the whole weaponry thing... I was never any good at it! ... What would Nick do at a time like this?

- What will happen now is that I'll take the lady's paw, we'll go slowly... or I'll blow her head off, you decide Officer.

- Or option three! - Wolfard appeared throwing a kick at the jaguar's hand, the jaguar could feel it coming, reaching out to shoot him.

- No!- Shouted Fangmeyer before knocking out the jaguar completely, once he was immobilized she immediately handcuffed him.

- Are you ok? What's wrong with you idiot? - The tigress ran to help her companion. - Why did you run before I could cover you?

- Calm down Thai, it's not the first time I've been hit by a bullet... but it's the first time it's landed in my ass... What a humiliation!...

- Stay still you idiot! I'll call an ambulance. Hopps are you ok?

- Yes, look, the victim is injured too and I would waste too much time changing the seats to be able to drive your patrol. You go and drop the criminal at the police station and I will wait for the help.

- Do you think you can...?

- Don't worry... everything will be fine.

The tigress looked at her embarrassed and wounded partner, gave a big sigh and rubbed her temple.

- Okay, we'll do it like this, I'll be back as soon as I can... be careful.

Fangmeyer lifted the unconscious criminal and carried him to the patrol car.

Judy turned to accommodate the wolf and then walked over to the still frightened black sheep.

- Are you okay? Did he hurt you?

- No Judy... I'm fine... thanks for helping me...if you hadn't come along, I...

- Don't worry my friend... the important thing is that you're okay.

- Uh sorry to interrupt, but girls, do you guys know each other?

- Oh, my manners. This is Officer Tim Wolfard, my partner on the force.

- And mentor, don't forget it.

- Yeah, after today, I won't forget it. - The doe scoffed, looking down at her wound.

- This is Lana Sheepling, my childhood best friend at Bunnyburrow.

- It's a pleasure officer... I'm so sorry for all the trouble I caused.

- It's not like you were looking to get mugged, don't worry. - The wolf tried to sketch a smile, which was complicated by the back pain he was feeling.

- Lana, what are you doing here? Since when did you leave Bunnyborrow?

- Well, just a few days ago... I came here to study fashion design...

- Really! I'm so glad! You were always the best in art class.

The sound of the ambulance distracted the three animals and they turned to look at their rescuers.

- Perfect, help is here! Come on Lana!

- Actually, Judy... you don't have to worry, I don't want to go to Hospital, I'm ok.

- You have to, then we'll get you to Precinct 1, don't worry...

- The precinct? Why?

- You have to give a statement, it's absolutely necessary. Don't worry, I'll be with you the whole time. Then, we can go out for lunch to catch up.

- Oh girls, your plan is so boring compared to mine! - Said the doe's partner as he was lifted onto the stretcher.

- Males...so dramatic! - Judy and Lana laughed at the wolf.

The first fox aspiring to become a police officer, was anxiously awaiting his turn in the shooting booth, his instructor and former enemy of crime was about to enter, he felt the pressure in his chest and how his breathing was quickening.

- Worst of all, is how much I will disappoint Carrots when I get arrested... - He sighed and shivered as he heard the door open.

- Nicholas Wilde, I thought I'd never see your ugly face again... - The coyote entered and slammed the door.

- Let's not talk about faces because you would lose out...

- Now you're laughing at my lack of an eye, curious, considering you were to blame for my losing it.

- Sorry to differ, that day things...

- You were in that harbor as much as I was!

- But I had nothing to do with that smuggling, I was there for other things...

- Conveniently eh...

- On the contrary, you and I both know who the top distributor of the Rainforest district is, Sergeant.

- Are you threatening me, cadet? - He looked at him with contempt.

- Take it any way you want.

- Go and tell Friedkin everything, it will be your word against mine... a famous and successful Sergeant, against a fox with a dubious criminal past... I can already read the headlines.

- Now you're going to add blackmail to your list of specialties?

- To quote the biggest idiot of all... "take it any way you want"... As far as I'm concerned, you'll never see this badge with your name on it. This is a powerful symbol. - The coyote flashed his big badge. - It's what separates us mighty mammals from... wretches like you... worthless, unimportant in society... If one day you were to disappear, not even your mother would shed a single tear. - He smiled slyly, but Nick didn't change his calm expression, on the contrary, he drew a bigger smile on his face.

- Trying to pull at my heartstrings? Pathetic! I'm no longer that impressionable young man you knew... I've had my chance to learn new tricks too!

- I couldn't expect anything less from a fucking bad motherfucker like you Wilde... Now I understand why it was so easy for the naive Hopps to fall into your trap, with an idiot rabbit like her...

The coyote could not finish the sentence, the cadet had thrown him to the ground, he looked at him very surprised, almost as much as Nick himself.

…

Recording - Wilde 3-H

Wow... I think my plan of "quiet facade and going unnoticed" is officially over... lately it's not working anymore.

Stop Recording- Wilde 3-H

…

- I will no longer let my past or anyone else tell me what to do... If you want to say what I did that day, I accept it, go for it, I know you were the only one who was at that merchandise exchange, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lately I have learned that not all mammals are manipulable and prejudiced, so tell it to Friedkin, or to the new Commissioner... I'm not going to run away anymore.

- You'll regret making that decision, fox. - He said the last word with special contempt, kicking him and throwing him to the ground.

- Yes, I am a fox, and proud of it.

The door to the booth suddenly opened, revealing Friedkin and two elephant cops at her side.

- So, you were the dirty cop of 2004... Carl Latrans you are under arrest.

- What! You have no proof!

- The booths broadcast to watch the training, you idiot. - The female polar bear said superciliously.

- So arrest that son of a bitch too!

- I remind you Latrans, you have the right to remain silent. - Bogo's powerful voice surprised those present. - Before entering the academy he was investigated and we know what really happened. Take him away! We will process him in my precinct.

The coyote growled in annoyance and gave the cadet an angry look.

- Are you alright Wilde? - The buffalo helped him up.

- Yeah... it's not like I haven't faced worse.

- And the ones that await you.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm here to check out the young and not so young up-and-comers to see who will be my next headache.

- Oh boss... you really miss me! Don't worry, we will soon be inseparable!

- You're on the right track, but don't claim victory yet... You still have the last 4 months to go, which are the hardest.

- Oh believe me, I'll be your next headache.

- We'll see... If you'll excuse me, I have to go to the paperwork for my last arrest.

- About that... Thank you, you know, for believing me.

- That day, when you submitted your application, I warned you, I have put my trust in you, you were honest... I always take care of my officers no matter what.

- Your?...

Bogo turned and walked out of the booth, a small warmth grew in the fox's chest.

Recording - Hopps 2-H

Lana and I were best friends in Bunnyburrow, we were always together, her farm was next to mine and... although she didn't like the idea of me being a cop, at least she didn't try to stop me like all my family.

She was always a sweet girl and very creative. I am so glad to see her and out of her farm! I mean, she wasn't much for going out.

Stop Recording- Hopps 2-H

…

- Here you go, it's coffee. - Judy put a paper cup on her friend's paw.

- Thank you... you didn't have to.

- You know I have to!

-So, this is your office where you work? - She looked around.

- When I'm not on patrol, this is where I spend my long, endless hours of paperwork.

- I'm really glad you made it Jude, I'll be honest, I... I thought you were going to stay in Bunnyburrow, get married, you know who...

- Oh don't mention him...

- And you'd have hundreds of bunnies... however, you achieved your dream and didn't let even the government stop you. I feel horrible for not being a better friend and supporting you from the beginning.

- Don't apologize Lana, it was hard to believe, even I doubted myself many times.

- But you were brave and you did it... I always wanted to be as brave as you.

- But you are, my friend! How did you get here?

- I... I ran away from home Judy... and I enrolled in Zootopia Fashion Design School, my family never found out... It's horrible... I...

- You were living in the neighborhood where I found you, right?

- Yes, I am. I don't know what to do... if you hadn't come... - Tears began to wet her black curls, until her friend's paw comforted her.

- You're not alone, honey, I'm with you! I won't leave you alone...

-But...

- Don't worry, I've got a pretty big two-room apartment and... it would be nice to have a roomie.

- Are you serious? - The smile lit up the young sheep's face.

- Totally! We'll finally fulfill our dream of living together!

Both friends shouted excitedly, until a tired and worried tigress entered the office.

- Hopps! What happened to Wolfard?

- Hello Thai! All ok, he had his bullet removed and will be on medical leave for a while. He is in his apartment resting.

- Oh... perfect... thanks. - She sighed tiredly and went out to the front office.

- Judes, how nice! I've never seen an interspecies couple before!

- What are you talking about?

- About your tigress partner and the wolf Officer, it was obvious that between them there was something!

- Of course not! They're just partners! She does love someone, but... it's to another partner.

- Of course not my clueless bunny, didn't you see how she was worried about him being attacked, how they joked between them, and how much the wolf talked about her.

- Oh... I hadn't thought of it that way.

- Of course, you're Judy! You've always been dense.

- No, I'm not!

- Yes, you are!

They both started laughing until an annoying shout distracted them.

- How could you even think about it, Thalia Fangmeyer! You know I'm married! - Shouted the tiger officer.

- Of course I do! Elise and I are friends, I didn't leave you those dinner tickets!

- Judes, friend, tell me you didn't leave those tickets in her name?

- Maybe... maybe I could have believed that she noticed Officer Johnson! She was always looking that way.

- The wolf sits next to the tiger, right? - The sheep asked seriously.

- Sweet cheese and crackers...
