It was a wonderfully calm day at the Police Department in Zootopia. Nothing could have gone any better, apart from two specially small mammals having to avoid a certain mammal's new favourite song. After avoiding the cheetah on the front desk, Benjamin Clawhauser, who appeared to be staring way too closely at his tablet watching a new music video released today, the two of them sneaking off to their joint office on the second floor.
"Hey Nick," Spoke a certain bunny, who had proved everybody wrong, even Chief Bogo himself, in being able to solve a certain case within an impossible timespan. Albeit that she had figured out the answer after her time away from the city.
She still didn't understand why she had gone to Nick in the first place, but apologies felt to be her top priority at the time. For he was her first true friend in Zootopia that she could rely upon and at the time who she didn't want to be the last either.
"What's up carrots?" Spoke Nick. Nick was not a bunny. He was, surprisingly to the whole department, except to the rabbit, a fox. Even though he was once slightly skinnier than the usual form for a fox, but since the academy, he has put on a decent amount of muscle since. Enough to make the rabbit steal a glance every now and then when off duty, hoping he wouldn't notice her stares and gazing at his muscular body.
"You got anything planned for the weekend?" the rabbit asks, with a hopeful look on her face. Nick could detect the hint of free-time, which meant that she'd like to hang out whenever she would like to. But this wasn't the usual style of the bunny he knew. She was almost all the time being the "work-a-holic" type.
"Who are you, and what have you done with my carrots?" He replied, knowing that it would get a response in the form of a punch to the arm. Yup, he knew exactly what she was going to do. 'aagh' "Ow! What was that for Judy?" This punch was a little stronger than her last one, where she'd almost knocked his coffee from Snarlbucks into his top.
"Haha!" Laughed Judy sarcastically, before sharing the sly smile that Nick usually wears. "Well, I think I've been working too hard lately and with the lack of cases 'like that one' to work on, I figured it was time for a short break."
"That's the carrots I know." He replies, taking another few gulps of his coffee. 'Thank god it's a Friday!' He thought, as they left the bullpen after a roll call. Another patrol for the two of them, but only to masquerade as the cover image of the ZPD's finest cops, before they were allowed a two week paid vacation by the ZPD itself.
The rest of the day was slow and uneventful, but not in offence to the speed of a sloth nonetheless. A few odd stares every now and then,but a lot more positive mammals said nicer things anyway.
During their lunch break, Chief Bogo had secretly gotten word from BBPD that a fox had been murdered near the border to Judy's hometown of BunnyBurrow, but his gut told him something was up. He didn't care a lot, or much about such things like this when it came to foxes, really, but when he heard the shocking news about the DNA tests from the corpse, he changed his mind and decided to report this to the three of his highest ranking officers about this new case.
None of those officers were Nick or Judy.
