Say Something I'm Giving Up On You

2: Jaws

Nick walked home late that night all alone in the dark. Usually he and Judy walked home together, but Nick had walked her home earlier. He sure hoped that Judy was feeling better than she did earlier in the day. Something definitely was up with that bunny.

Nick sighed and walked on the dark sidewalk. Of course the city was bright, loud, and active, but it was also dark on Nick's sidewalk. He was bored without his partner walking beside him. Judy usually was good about keeping him company, but she wasn't there right that moment.

Nick's ears perk forwards as he heard something unusual going on in an alley. He creeped up to it and sniffed quietly, only sensing the foul stench of criminals. He crouched down as he investigated the scene: a burly bear picking on an arctic fox. Nick cocked his head, curiously. He hadn't seen many arctic foxes in the heart of Zootopia. Usually they were in the snow district.

"Give me all you got and you're free from your side of the deal," the bear grunted. "No more working for him and no more taking orders from anybody."

"I earned this money fair and square. Nobody is going to take this from me," the fox said. It sounded like a vixen. Nick got even more curious. This was looking like a good case so far...

"Just hand over the money and you're free for forever," the bear said.

"Ha, nobody is free forever," the vixen snorted. "I rather keep the money and keep working for him."

"Alright, it's time to do this the hard way," the bear growled. He walked towards the vixen, his paws balled into fists. This is my chance! Nick thought. He grabbed his gun from his police belt and made himself visible.

"You better take some steps back, mister," Nick snarled. "Leave this lady alone."

The bear saw the gun pointed at him. Reluctantly, he back off, scowling. He squeezed his fists tighter, obviously angry that he had gotten caught.

"Why were you trying to take her money?" Nick questioned.

"We had a deal. She promised. She promised!" the bear roared. He took a step towards the vixen. Nick loaded his gun, and when the bear heard the cracking sound, he took some more steps back.

"You had no right to be doing this," Nick said. He walked forwards with his gun still pointed at the bear and snapped some handcuffs (or in this case, paw-cuffs) over the bear's wrists. He grabbed out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.

"I need backup," Nick spoke. "I just arrested some guy who tried to take a young vixen's money. I have him under arrest, but I need someone to come and take him away."

"Good job, Officer Nick," Chief Bogo said. "I will send backup right away."

Nick smirked at the bear who was growling.

"May this teach you a lesson to leave young vixens alone," Nick snarled. The vixen blushed as Nick winked at her. The bear rolled his eyes, still angry.

The backup came quickly. Two officers ran up and grabbed the bear and walked him towards the car. As the bear passed the vixen, he whispered in her ear, "You won't get away with this."

She smirked and whispered back. "Oh, but I already have."

Then the bear was taken away.

Nick cleared his throat. The vixen looked at him.

"Thank you, Officer..."

"Nick Wilde," he said. "I'm Officer Nick Wilde."

The vixen shook his paw. "I'm Alay Flake," she said. Nick smiled widely.
