5 o'clock in the morning ~~~

Hey carrots…carrots it's time to get up.

No…never…let me sleep forever, she said as she pulls the covers to hide.

Remind me when did our roles switch I thought I was the lazy one in the morning.

Nick I love you but don't make me hurt you. Last night took a lot out of me. She said as she sits up in their bed.

Nick softly laughs. Like you could ever fluff.

Don't tempt me...oh that coffee smells good is that for me.

Nope this is all me.

Really nick, she said with a tired expression.

Well there is a cup of coffee on the kitchen table with breakfast for some bunny but that bunny doesn't want to get up.

(Sighs) Yes I know I'm getting up eh I need a shower…ah damn it I forgot to lay out my clothes for today.

Don't worry I lad out your clothes for you last night and I made sure it was a professional look.

Wait you laid out my clothes and made breakfast, what else have you gotten done. She said as she headed toward the bathroom.

Oh, you know just Figured out how will operate on this case. He says as he takes a sip of his coffee.

You what?! Judy said stepping out of the bathroom door. When did you figure that out?

Yesterday while you were talking to your mom.

Nick why didn't you tell me. She said as she rubs her temple.

Eh, well I was going to tell you last night and...well...you know how that turn out. Nick said winking at her.

So…okay...so just (sigh) just feel me in after my shower.

What's some company. Nick said standing in the bathroom door frame.

No, she said dryly as she shuts the door in his face.

Meanwhile somewhere else ~~~

Hey John?!.. John?!

Ugh what do you what Ray, can't you see that I'm busy working.

Oh! yeah, sorry I don't mean to disturb you but Dre is asking for you.

And he sent you all the way down here to my workshop just to tell me that? John says as he takes off his goggles in frustration. There's a reason we have these radios plus he has my cell for fuck sakes. (Sighs) Tell him I'll be up when I'm done.

Sure thing and also (gulps) there's one more thing.

Ray I swear to god if this is another question about the Wi-Fi box, I will calmly walk over to you and rip your only good eye you have left!

Ah no y-you don't have to do that.

Then whatever you have to say better be good then.

Umm, I don't know if you were aware but Annie is here, and she's asking for you.

And the punches just keep on coming, he said as he lights up a cigarette. Invite her in....and tell Dre I'm going to be awhile and don't tell him about Ann.

Back in Zootopia on the road ~~~~~

So my role is to stay close to Ms. Potter and learn what I can to see why someone would want her dead.

Yes you stay by her side with your personality it will be easy for her to open up to you, get as much information as you travel with her during her activities and keep an eye out your her second line of defense.

Wait? Second line, nick what are you planning on doing exactly? Were both supposed to be at her side at all times.

Yes I know but hear me out on this. I'm sure Ms. Potter will announce us as her protected Security. The whole Zootopia knows who we are and what we done so-

“Whomever” is try to kill her would hesitate to make a move. Judy said finishing his sentence. We get no clues, no movement, no suspects.

Yup setting ducks just playing the waiting game. So before the news gets out we needed to have a word with her and just have your name be brought to the light.

Why just my name what about you slick? Statistically speaking now I think about it wouldn't they hesitate if it's one of use regardless.

True but if it's you visibility by her side they would pay me no mind that would give us an advantage, ironically my eyes are sharper than yours especially here in Zootopia I know when something is up.

"As”Judy comes to a stop light she looks at Nick in awe. Ok who are you and what have you done to my Nick.

All Nick could do was laugh. What? Surprise your fox can be as smart as his bunny. Nick said as he puts on black shades.

Ah there's the cocky bastard I know and love.

Now in John workshop ~~~

I see you upgraded the shop since the last time I saw it. Said a female Mongoose.

Annie...it's been awhile. John said coming down from the second level of his shop.

I don't consider three years awhile old man. She said as she found a chair to sit down.

Hey I'm 37 not 73 still far from old. He said as he pulled out a cigarette.

Keep smoking those and you'll never reach your seventies.

Why did you come here Annie I doubt you came to talk about my health, I told you not to come back here.

(sighs). To see how you're doing, feel you in on how my life is going. I don't know John I've missed you guys... I miss you.

John blows out a puff of smoke. I told you to forget us Ann.

And how exactly was I supposed to. I tried to believe me I've tried but how could I you guys are my only family.

Well that ring on you tells me that's not the case.

Ok you've got me there. His name is Tyler. A smile escaped from her as she said his name. His a great guy, after being married to him for two years he gave me something that I never thought I would receive after what I've done in the past. He gave me Becca.

Becca? John said as he puts out his cigarette.

My daughter she said as she pulls out a photo of the three of them.

Wow, so this your guy huh not a bad looking fella...and this little one here is-

Yes that's Becca...and if you think about it your granddaughter. She said giggling.

(Sigh) This is good Annie I'm happy for you I'm happy that you Kept your promise to me. This new life you deserve it.

Annie was about to say something but John radio had cut in. John it's Dre how much longer are you going to be down there I need to discuss something with you.

John frowns as he pulls his walkie from his waist. Oh? so you do remember how to use our radios.

Oh, quite being a smartass and just make your way up here.

(Sighs) I'm on my way.

Well it looks like I've come at an odd time for you. I was only in town just to get some papers signed for my employer. I'll be on the first plane back to Zootopia in the morning. As she gets up and heads for the exit she stops, if you ever find yourself in Zootopia look me up Annie Bird.

Bird? He said with an eyebrow raise.

Strange I know but that's the name I took, see you around.
