Nick had Finnick is his baby disguise and in a stroller, when Judy and The Bad Guys rolled up to them.

Judy:Hi! Hello! It's us again.

Piranha jumped out and tried to attack Nick, but Shark grabbed and reeled him back in.

Tarantula:So you're to jerk who scammed our friend.

Nick smugly smiled.

Nick:Hey, it's Officer Toot-toot and the big bad wolf! And they brought a few friends.

Judy:Ha-ha-ho... No. Actually, it's Officer Hopps.

Wolf:And Mr.Wolf

Judy: And we're here to ask you some questions about a case.

Nick:What happened, meter maid? Did someone steal a traffic cone? It wasn't me.

Judy, getting annoyed, blocked his path with her cart, and The Bad Guys blocked the other side with their car.

Both Judy and The Bad Guys stood in front of him. Judy pulled out a carrot pen and a clipboard

Judy:This is important, sir. I think your ten dollars worth of pawpsicles can wait.

Nick:Ha! I make two hundred bucks a day, Fluff. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve. And time is money. So I suggest you all run along.

Julie:Dad was right, he IS annoying.

Wolf:Just look at this picture.

He showed him Emmit Otterton's picture.

Diane:You sold Mr. Otterton that pawpsicle, right? Do you know him?

Nick smirked.

Nick:I know everybody. And I also know that somewhere, there's a toy store missing its stuffed animal. So why don't you get back to your box?

Judy's smile dropped.

Snake:Do you try to get people to hate you?

Judy:Fine. Then we'll have to do this the hard way.

In a millisecond, she booted the stroller.

 Nick:Did you just boot my stroller?

Tarantula:Yes, yes we did.

Judy:Nicholas Wilde, you are under arrest!

Nick scoffed amusingly.

Nick:For what? (mockingly)Hurting your feewings?

Diane raised her fist, but Wolf pushed it back down.

Judy smiled slyly.

Judy:Felony tax evasion. Yeeaah... two hundred dollars a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year since you were twelve, that's two decades, so times twenty which is... one million four hundred sixty thousand - I think. I mean, (Chuckles) I am just a dumb bunny, but we are good at multiplying.

Piranha and Shark chuckled.

Julie:Both of you get your heads out of the gutter.

Judy:Anyway, according to your tax forms, you reported, let me see here, zero!

Nick's face froze in fear.

Judy:Unfortunately, lying on a federal form is a punishable offense.

Diane:Five years jail time tops.

Nick:Well, it's my word against yours.

Judy pulled out her carrot pen and plays back Nick's confession.

Recording: ...two hundred bucks a day, Fluff. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year since I was twelve.

Judy:Actually, it's your word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to help us find this poor missing otter, or the only place you'll be selling pawpsicles is the prison cafeteria.

She and The Bad Guys grinned.

Judy: It's called a hustle, sweetheart.

Wolf:Boom.

Nick was shocked.

Finnick:They hustled you.

He opened the stroller laughing.

Finnick:They hustled you good! You're a cop now, Nick! You're gonna need one of these.

He put the sticker from earlier on him.

Finnick:Have fun working with the fuzz!

He then walked away.

Judy:(To Nick)Start talking.

Nick:(Sigh)I don't know where he is, I only saw where he went.

Judy:Great! Let's go!

Both she and The Bad Guys got in their respective cars. Nick grinned

Nick:It's not exactly a place for a cute little bunny.

Judy:(Annoyed)Don't call me cute! Get in the car.

Nick:Okay, you're the boss.

Nick got in and both groups drove.
