Shocked. A story of Predator and Prey.

"Daddy's Home!"

Nick continued to show the officers around Wild Times. Once they reached the control room, Nick felt his heart drop down into the bottom of his stomach with a great force when a seemingly simple question was asked by the officer who happened to be a moose;

"Do you have the legal documentation of ownership for this....park?" He asked, his voice obviously irritated.

Nicks breathed hitched before falling and his ears flattened.

"W-well....sir. You see....I don't–I don't-" Nicholas got cut off by a fast knock on the door, but the door was open, and in the doorway, stood a grey-furred, purple-eyed bunny.
Nick gave a sigh of relief but tried to act surprised to see Judy.

Judy clearly knew Nick was acting, but the other two officers weren't that smart. Nick would typically have to lie to get out of other situations before the park had opened, he even lied straight to Judy's face when they first met.

"Officer Hopps?" The wolf asked as he turned to the door, along with the two other mammals in the small room.
Judy's ears stood straight up.
"Hello. What seems to be the problem here?" Judy asked simply as she stepped inside the control room, standing beside Nick, her arms folded behind her back.

The moose Officer scoffed.
"Listen, Hopps. I don't know what you're doing out of your hidey-hole. But we're on a case."

"A case? This doesn't look like a case to me. I've been following you two for quite a while now, and it seems you've been simply intimidating Mr. Wilde. Now. Officer Garrett, Mr. Wilde does have the proper documents but he–"

"That's enough from you, Hopps. We got it here. Go back to giving out tickets before I tell chief you were abandoning your post. Again."

"Oh. Go right ahead." Judy laughed softly as she stood right beside Nick, knowing her husband would calm down a bit by her. Or at least, she hoped.

The moose Officer raised an eyebrow, and before he could open his mouth to speak. Judy continued;

"I'll just go ahead and tell chief about all those times I saw you at the mall off duty using your son's handicap pass without him being present at the current location."

The wolf officers eyes widened and he turned to his partner.

"Whoa. Michael. You do that?" He asked in shocked.

The moose, clearly taken off guard tried to cover himself;

"I certainly do not! That must not be me you're seeing. You can't lie your way out of every situation, Hopps. That's his job." He inconsiderately mentioned as he pointed towards Nick.

Nick narrowed his eyebrows and his collar shined yellow. He began to feel less fear and more anger building up at this point.
Judy's ears perked up, quickly noticing Nicks collar.

"Now-now. Listen. Officer Garret. You can just head on your way. And I'll take care of Mr. Wilde's situation from this point forward." Judy said as she cheerfully placed her hands behind her back, lifting herself on the balls of her heels.

The moose scoffed again and shook his head. He glared, at both Nick, and Judy, before exiting the room.
The wolf glanced up at Nick for a few seconds but stared at Judy a little wide eyed before exiting the room with his partner.
Once the two officers exited, and the door was shut. Nick fell back onto his chair, having his hand placed against his racing heart.

"Judith......." he said softly, his ears flattening.
Judy turned to Nick and her ears flattened as well. She approached him and stood in front of him, being that his seat was low.
