Second Chance.(Zootopia Fanfiction)

The Truth

After we ate breakfast, I help to clean the dishes and took that moment to talk some more to martha, she told me about how she was a nurse and how she used to help alot of animals in Sahara square hospita, for a moment the words Sahara square sounded in my head.

"Um... actually, where am I?" Martha looked at me in disbelieve, for a moment, then saw that I was completly serious.

"Sweety you are in one of the sectors of zootopia, you seriously don't know?" Her face showed some concern from my question, so I knew I had to lie for her sake.

"Hahaha, you should have seened your face, priceless" I said hoping she believe me, then she smiled.

"You got me silly fox, now go to Ben, he is probably waiting for you at the living room to go to the store." She said with a smile and giving me a little push in the back.

In the living room Ben was back in his chair reading the newspaper, with a cough sound Ben looked at me and stood up.

"Ok, are you ready to work, um... what was your name lad." He said.

For a moment there was silence and the thoughts of starting a new life, a new name, a new everything came to me, but I just didn't see the benefit of it at the time.

"My name is Jack sir, sorry it took me so long to introduce myself." I said while lowering my head for a moment, but soon a hoot set me straigth.

"Lad you dont have to do that, for some reason you don't seem like any other fox I have ever met." That made me wonder how does this world work, well only one way to find out.

As we step out of the house a heat wave hit me, that and the amazing view of a city in the sand, my jaw drops just to get sand in and make me cough a little, which made Ben chuckle.

"Careful lad the last thing you need is more sand in your system." He said as he opened the door of a really big car, well maybe big for my size, which didn't matter because he oppened the other door for me from the inside of the car. "Hop on lad we are late." And so I did.

On the way to the shop my eyes and mouth were opened as humanl... (right sorry) I mean they were opened as much as possible, all the buildings and diferent kind of animals living and working together just like the people I used to know, this might seen amusing to Ben cause se looked and me and asked.

"Lad you ok, you looked like you have never been in a city before, hahahaha."he said trying to keep his eyes on the weel.

"It just feels like I haven't been in a place like this in so long." It had been almost 2 years actually, 2 long years in the desert, I just couldn't keep the awed inside me.

After a couple of minutes we got to the place, it was a small hardware store.

"I hope you are ready to work lad." Ben said while we got out of the car.

"Sure thing, where should I start." I said, then Ben got in the store and came back with a broom.

"Would you mind to swipe the front of the store, I dont like it when it's to sandy" Ben said as he toss the broom at me which I catch easily.

"No problem." I said and started to work.

For the time it took me to clean the front of the store something became clear to me, aparently in this world there most be something against foxes because, I dont think my fur color matter much in here, but their eyer, the way they look at me is the same as the people gave me back when I was young.

Ben came out and told me "That looks ok lad come in I want to show you the shop." he said.

The inside of the store was a total mess, my eyes widen by the sight and amazed that anyone could work in a place like that.

"Umm... it is really something." I said trying not to sound as surprised as I was.

"I know... it's a mess but thats how it is and I dont mind." He said but I just couldn't believe it.

After and hour or so Ben had taught me all about the price list and the use of the cash register and after a while he just looked at me and said.

"Lad I really dont want to ask you this but, could you watch the store for a while, I need to go to the bank." He told me.

"Are you sure I can take care of the store all by myself, I mean this IS my first day here" Ben looked at me for a moment in silense then answer me.

"The thing is that not many customers comes to the store anymore, there are better places to get the same stuff." Ben said in a sad tone, and that made me think maybe I can do something more than just help in the store.

"Ok then, don't worry the fort is fine with me." I said with a smile and Ben took off.

As he got in his car I looked at the mess that was the inside of the store and decided to clean and organize all the products.

After 3 hours Ben got back with a bag on his hoofs but at the sight of the almost spotless store, his eyes widen in awe as he slowly put down the bag on a (now clean small table.)

"Did you do all this lad... why?" Ben said while checking everything clean and in order.

"Well I want to help you because you and your wife safe my life, and this store it means alot to you I can tell." I said, the old camel just looked at me for a moment then he picked the bag again and handed it to me, then turn to the front of the store and said.

"You should know I was against the idea of helping you." Ben said and went silent for a moment but then resume. "Let me tell you how things happened that day."
