All Up in the Fur

Chapter 1

A/N - I might be a bit late on the Zootopia bandwagon, but I hope you like this nontheless. Btw, there will be a sequel. I had more ideas for that before I started working on this one lol.

Disclaimer - I do NOT own Zootopia or any of its characters!

It had been a rather chaotic week, and it was only Wednesday.

That's what Judy was thinking as she marched into the ZPD that morning, as bright eyed as she always was. Nick trudged behind her, yawning widely as he pushed his way through the revolving door.

"Ooh! Well if it isn't my favourite bunny and fox!" The large cheetah behind the desk leant forwards, his long tail swishing excitedly behind him. "How are you two this morning?"

"Very well, thank you, Clawhauser!" Judy quipped.

"She can speak for herself," said Nick as he looped his shades through a button hole on his shirt. "I was up most of the night and she wouldn't let me stop for coffee on the way."

"We were going to be late!"

"Late night. Sleepy fox." Nick's eye went down to the box of donuts on the cheetah's desk and he pointed. "May I?"

Clawhauser nodded and opened the box for the fox as he picked one out.

"Ooh, jam!" Nick took a bite out of his chosen donut and a huge smile spread across his face.

"You're gonna need the sugar," said Clawhauser. "Chief Bogo showed up early this morning. It doesn't look like things are going to calm down for you, at least not today anyway."

Judy's ears drooped slightly at the thought of what else could possibly have gone wrong. "Oh dear."

She sped off towards the bullpen while Nick casually strolled along behind her.

They were amongst the last there and quickly took their seats as they waited patiently for the Chief. Nick was noisily licking sugar from his paws when the water buffalo entered and eyed each of the filled seats in turn.

"I'm afraid I don't exactly have good news," he said flatly. "As you have probably heard, there's been two more mammals gone missing. A pair of angora rabbit twins."

Judy's breath caught in her throat as she watched Chief Bogo pin the photo to the map of Zootopia, just outside the city's centre. Two angora rabbits. From the looks of it, they were only around five or six years old, and amongst the pictures of the other missing mammals which mostly consisted of sheep and alpaca, they seemed oddly out of place.

"Add this to the ever increasing reports of 'fur fondling' and we're in for another busy day. I've already got one victim lined up for interview and it isn't even nine a.m." He frowned and crossed his arms as he looked over at the silent room. "Well. At least we won't be bored."

Fangmeyer let out a small laugh from the back of the room, which was met with strained, nervous laughter. Bogo didn't so much as flinch. Truth be told, if you didn't laugh you'd cry, and right now, as Judy stared at that picture, she did indeed feel like crying. She could practically feel Nick's eyes boring into her from his spot beside her.

"Hey, Carrots, are you okay?" he muttered.

"So here's what I want you to do," Bogo went on. His voice boomed through the room shouting out orders, and Judy was rather surprised that she was one of the first he addressed. "Hopps and Wilde, I want you two to interview the parents of the angora twins. See what you can find out about the incident."
