Into The Night

New Discoveries

Judy's P.O.V

I sat down in my desk as I took a sip of my coffee. I looked to the left to see an empty chair. I sighed. Nick has been gone for over a day now. Where could he be? That question was always on my mind.

About an hour later, after I got so busy into my work, the door burst open. I jumped up in surprise and turned around to see a red fox standing in the doorway. He was holding a folder in his hand.

"Nick! Where have you been?" I angrily said. Deep down though, I was glad he came back. I missed his corny jokes, his annoyingness, and even his pervertedness. I couldn't tell him that.

"Wow. Someone missed their favorite fox." He smirked.

"N-no! I j-just.." I tried to get the words out but I stuttered and blushed. I quickly turned right around and put my paws over my face. I then felt deep, warm breathing on my neck. I knew it was nicks. Right when I thought he would stop, he slowly wrapped his paws around my chest and leaned his head closer in.

I tried to keep still, but his warm paws wrapped around me told me not to. I soon gave him to his warm hug. I then...moaned. Yea. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me. I stopped in fear.

"Did you just...moan?" He asked. I couldn't answer. If I did he'd never let it go. I quickly firmed up my voice.

"We need to get back to work. What do you have?" I asked pointing to the folder he put on the desk. He grabbed it and started to speak.

"Do you remember the little bunny that was murdered back in 1996? Did you ever see it on the news?" He asked as he sat down in the chair next to me. A memory flashed back when I was 4 years old. I as sitting in the living room with the family as we watched the news. Reports of a female 5 year old bunny was found murdered in her room. The investigation went on for 6 months, until all hope was lost on finding the murderer. The case was never solved.

"Yea. I remember. She lived in my town." I claimed.

"Well, I went undercover for the past two days, and found this!" He claimed handing me the file. I opened it up to see that bunny that was murdered 20 years ago. But there was a new victim. Another animal had been murdered. And just recently. The first victim read,

Wow. I looked up at Nick. He was looking back at me.

"So, I told Bogo about this, and he said that we should investigate some more." He said. That sounded good to me.

"Yea. Let's get right on it!" I said as I studied the case some more. I had noticed that the John Larry was present in both murders. I jotted it down in my notebook, when I noticed it was time to leave. Today was Friday. That meant me and Nick are gonna have a movie night. I smiled at that. I always loved having movie night with Nick. Something about him made me like him at movie night. Maybe it was the fact that he doesn't wear a lot of clothes at movie night. Who knows.

I packed up my stuff and headed to Nicks place. Nick had given me a key, so it wasn't I did t have to wait for him when I came to his place.

I entered into his place and called his name. No answer. I walked over to his room and saw the door was cracked open a little. I peeked just a little and saw him standing in his room changing. Al he had on was some boxers. His back looked so toned and muscular. His head popped up as he must've heard something. This was my cue to get out.

I sat on the couch flipping through the channel on the TV. I heard Nick come out of his room and walk into the living room. He saw me.

"Hey carrots." He said opening the fridge.

"Hey Nick." I said as I patted the seat next to me, signaling for him to come over. He pulled out some Chinese food and sat it on the coffee table as he sat down next to me.

"Hungry?" He asked. I nodded as I pick the small container up filled with noodles, and started to eat.

"Okay then." He said as he started to eat as well. The noodles were pretty good if I'm honest. Nick though THAY tasted bland, but I didn't mind.

"What movie are we watching?" He asked. I got up from the couch and grabbed the plastic container that held, "Yak Machina" and showed it to him. He grabbed it and started scanning through the words on the back.

"Seems good." He said as he laid the case on the table and slouched back.

Once I finished my food, I got up and put in the disk into the movie player. We got a couple of previews that were good, but then a commercial for fox repellent came on. Nick sighed as he realized what it was. This made me angry. Angry that people would still stereotype foxes. No matter what, people will still judge you.

Soon, the trailer turned off, and I spoke to Nick.

"Nick.." I said putting my paw on his. He blushed and quickly covered his face.

"It's fine." He said.

About an hour into the movie, I heard quiet snoring and looked up to see Nick fast asleep. I giggled at the sight of this. I started to get tired myself, so I laid my body on Nick's, and drifted asleep.
