Chapter 4 is out! The wait is over, >.O Explicit material ahead. =D


Nick got himself buried in the crowd before stuffing the flash drive into his pocket with his gloves. Judy was leaning up against a phone pole just a ways off from the stage alongside Kayla. It looked as though the two were having a deep discussion.

"So you don't mind it?" Judy asked.

"Oh please, doesn't bother me anymore. All these guys are trying to do is get your attention, you just have to keep your head up." Kayla explained taking a sip of her margarita. "Sides, you look like your here to have a little fun, huh?" She giggled, nudging Judy's side.

"Yeah, it's my first time with this crew though." Judy replied. "I just can't help but feel so, dirty."

"Oh honey, it is dirty." Kayla waved off. "But sometimes it's nice to get a little dirty and just have fun. Every girl here is in it for a good time. Get a few free drinks, hang out with some cute boys and dance till our feet fall off. You know I work my ass off through the weekend managing a clothing store in the Rainforest District? Dealing with angry animals about not having the right sizes, staff that can't fold clothes to save their life or keep them sorted by size. I need a breather from it you know? I get Thursday's and Friday's off, that's my weekend baby and I just wanna cut loose and have a blast!"

"Huh, guess that makes a lot of sense." Judy smiled. Kayla put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Look baby, you ever feel unsafe, you just come right to me and Tyler. He's all bluff and tough on the outside, but he's such a softy inside. We're all in it to have some fun tonight." Kayla insisted giving Judy a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Aww, thank you!"

"Anytime baby." Kayla giggled taking one last sip.

"Hey Candy, can I buy ya another drink?" Nick called out with a smile. Kayla snapped from Nick back to Judy and asked.

"You good with him?"

"Yeah, here to have a good time, right?" Judy shrugged and smiled.

"Good." Kayla agreed, walking toward Nick she gave him a quick shove on the shoulder. "You treat her right, fox."

"Yes ma'am." Nick saluted. Strolling over to Judy he grasped her hips and pulled her in closer. "How you holding up, for real?"

"I'm ok I think. Did you-"

"We're good." He quickly interjected. "Why don't we hit the dance floor huh? No reason we can't enjoy a little time here."

"Haha, I see." She smiled, rubbing his arms. "This your way of getting back at me for cancelling our dinner last week?"

"Nothing like that. I just wanna have a little fun, you know?"

"Cut loose?" She smiled.

"Yeah, seems like we've been buried in work lately and sometimes the squeaky clean fun get's a bit dull." Nick explained, taking her hand and guiding her back toward the bar. He waved the bartender down and ordered. "I'll get a Sahara Sunrise for her and I'll take three shots of Rainforest Harmony."

"You got it." The bartender agreed, taking Nick's cash.

"What are you getting me into now?" She giggled.

"You said you wanted something sweet, baby. We'll this will kick ya off your feet." Nick winked.

"Here ya go." He announced handing the drinks off to them. Nick pushed the rather sweet looking drink to Judy while lining up the shots in front of him.

"Haven't done this since my twenty third birthday."

"Gonna drink all three?" She laughed.

"Back when it was me Finnick and Patrick working together, we called this a safari. Line up all three, shoot em back, boom, boom and boom." Nick laughed.

"Patrick?"

"He's an arctic fox, old friend of ours; he left to work in Predaton a good while back. Had to take over for his dad's business after he got sick." Nick explained. Cracking his knuckles he took a deep breath and said "This is for you guys." And one after the other he threw each shot back in rapid succession. "WOOOOO!!!" Nick shouted, slamming the last glass down. "Damn that burns, wow! Ahh that was so good." He laughed. Judy felt a little more bold and tried a sip of her drink.

"Whoa!" She exclaimed, the sweet taste of orange juice hitting her. "This tastes like, really smooth orange juice with just the right amount of kick!"

"I figured you'd like that." Nick stated laughing. The bartender scooped up the empty shot glasses while Nick gave him a smile and nod. Nick took her hand and rushed out to the dance floor. It was a bit less crowded; the music was a little more calm, the beat steady and slow. Judy decided to play up her character a bit and took hold of Nick's hands, pressing them on her waist while she grinded down his leg. Nick spun her around and pulled her up on his hips, letting her head dip back, almost to the ground before pulling her back up. Judy laughed, grabbing hold of his ears and pulling him in to her lips. Nick felt along her body, his hands gliding over her lace dress down to her thighs.

"Easy boy." She whispered bounding down from Nick, she spun herself around and began to swivel her hips against him. "This is what you want, isn't it?"

"Hey Candy!" Kayla shouted, snaring the twos attention. "Come on hurry! You're gonna miss the best part!" Judy giggled and lead Nick toward the finish line. Nick cringed though as Oshu was clearly in the lead with Flash a close a second. Wolford was waiting at the finish line, noting that Nick had now shown up with Judy at his side.

"Everyone get clear now! The drivers are coming in hot!" The DJ announced as Oshu spun in over the finish line. The crowd gathered around while Flash and the other racers pulled in to a slow stop. Nick casually strolled over to Flash's car and peered through the window. Slowly his head was falling toward the wheel.

"Damn...... Damn....... Damn."

"How much did you lose?" Nick questioned with a smirk.

"A....Thousand....Bucks.."

"Ouch." Nick winced. "Well, you don't have to lose anything more, we're good to go."

"Hey Sloth!" Oshu called out, as the entirety of the crowd seemed to part. "Where's my money?" Flash slowly produced a wad of cash and dangled it out of the window in front of Nick.

"Here.... You....Go..." Oshu smiled and strolled over to collect his winnings, snatching from Flash's hand and started counting. He stared down at Nick briefly and gave a quick huff.

"This your crew? No wonder you lost."

"Easy whiskers, no need to be a sore winner." Nick fired back with a grin.

"Whiskers, yeah you're a real wise guy aren't you? Foxes, all the damn same." Oshu fired back.

"Pretty high and mighty coming from a spackled cat called a cheetah, no?" Nick was quick to fire back, keeping his calm composure.

"What did you say?" He glared, leering down at Nick.

"For someone who just won three grand, you're awful touchy aren't you kitten? Almost like you didn't earn it the hard way."

"You callin me a cheater?" He scowled down, meeting Nick face to face. Nick just chuckled, his eyes relaxed and ready to meet Oshu's.

"Relax, no one's here to start a fight. Sides, I gotta get to work on Flash's car so he can make all that back." Nick dismissed, turning back toward Flash and leaning on the window.

"It ain't always about the car, it's about the driver. A real racer knows that." Oshu stated.

"If you say so." Nick smiled, taking hold of Judy's hand and pulling her to his waist. "Least we both walk away with a prize tonight. You go ahead and enjoy yours. We'll be back soon." Nick announced.

"A rabbit?" He laughed. "What, you need a snack before bed?"

"Depends what you mean by snack." Nick suggested, throwing up his brow. Oshu gave a quick laugh, turning away to wave them off. But just as he did, the thought hit him, a flash back to when he saw a fox like him, helping Judy Hopps out of her cruiser. He scowled as he looked back, seeing her being ushered into the vehicle and Nick leap in. He couldn't be 100% sure, but he knew a good way to find out and quickened his pace toward his car. Pushing others aside and leaping in, he revved his engine and aimed his headlights toward Flash's car. Nick's ears flopped back, reaching over to Flash's shoulder and tapped him repeatedly.

"Go, go now, HIT IT!" He exclaimed. Flash Laid on the gas and spun around, heading back down Delta Road. Oshu gunned it and followed, hot on their tail, slowly creeping up on Flash's bumper.

"It's you isn't it." Oshu spoke to himself. "You're not getting away this time Hopps!" Flash was pushing it as hard as he could, sailing over the bridge and dodging a few cars that remained on the roadway. Oshu managed to catch up, making a few hits on Flash's tail, sending Judy around the back of the car flopping. Oshu aimed a gun out his window, firing at Flash's car. A shot broke through the rear window, just grazing over Judy's head before burying in the dash.

"AHHH!!" Judy cried out, ducking down low.

"Judy! Are you hit!?"

"Keep going, I'm fine!" She managed to get a hold of her seat belt and strapped herself in. Finally making it into Savannah Central, Flash swung up Baobab Boulevard and aimed toward downtown. "What are you doing!?" Judy cried out from the back. "If we head down town we could have civilians hurt!"

"His.... Car.." Flash said, taking another sharp turn onto a single lane street. "Is.... Built..." He carried on, taking another turn with Oshu hot on his tail. "For....Speed."

"Of course, he's all muscle. He'll crush us on a straightaway but he can't out maneuver us!" Nick surmised. "Take him through Acacia street and use the alley's to cut up to Herd."

"Right!" Flash agreed. Swerving into an alleyway, kicking up newspaper and knocking over boxes and trash, they weaved through up onto a side street. Another quick right sent them down another ally, bursting through a fence and almost clipping a fire escape. Drifting out, it sailed them near the river and out onto the road that fed up to Herd Street. Oshu was having a tougher time, forced to slow down quite a bit to compensate for the sharp turns and was beginning to lose them.

"There! Left onto Herd! Go buddy!" Nick shouted. Flash answered with a tire screeching turn that just dodged a huge truck being driven by a rhino who laid on the horn. As Oshu burst from the alley, Nick could hear sirens coming up from behind. Oshu fumed, slamming his fists on the wheel and spun himself around. The police cruisers tried to cut him off, but clipping onto the sidewalk let him pass. One cruiser spun and followed, while the other took to pursuing Flash's car.

"Just keep going a bit further then pull over, ok bud?" Nick advised.

"Ok." He agreed.

"Judy." Nick spun around, holding on to the seat. "Carrots are you hurt?!"

"Grazed right over my head, I could feel it." She explained. Flash slowly pulled off to the side of the road, as Mc Horn and Higgins bolted from the cruiser with weapons drawn.

"Get out of the car!" Higgins shouted. Nick pat Flash's shoulder, nodding to his friend.

"We got this, you'll be fine bud." He assured him. Nick slowly opened the door and stepped out with his hands up. "Easy guys, you can relax. It's me, officer Nick Wilde."

"And Judy Hopps!" Judy exclaimed, walking out from behind the car. "We were on an undercover assignment, sorry for the scare boys." Higgins and Mc Horn eased their weapons but stood slack jawed at Judy. Sighing she tilted her hip and flopped her ears back. "Eyes up here." She indicated.

"Flash here is the driver; he helped us so ease up on him." Nick advised. "We need to get to the station fast; we have something important to drop off with the chief."

"Yeah alright." Higgins agreed. "Delgato's on tonight, we'll lead ya there."

After dropping off the flash drive with Delgato at the station, Nick and Judy were more than happy to greet the sight of their apartment. Flash had stayed behind, the station doing an evaluation on his car for damages. Thanks to both Nick and Judy's commendations, he was getting his fully car reimbursed and even a little extra for helping.

Judy lead the way through the door and groaned, flopping onto the couch.

"Long night." She said, her voice muffled by the couch.

"Long night indeed." Nick agreed. He took a spot beside her head, lovingly placing it in his lap to stroke her ears. "Proud of you tonight, I bet that wasn't easy."

"Mmm." She moaned, enjoying each stroke through her ears and over her head. "I've had tougher roles. I just."

"Just what." Nick whispered. Rolling over to gaze up to Nick she asked.

"Is this something you'd want me to be? All sexy and just, all over you?" Nick just laughed, shaking his head.

"I just wanted to see how far you'd step outside your little comfort zone. I should have known you'd tough it out. Brave little bunny." He complimented.

"But you know, don't guys like that?"

"Some, yeah." Nick agreed. "With girls like that it can be easy. No attachment, no strings. Just a good time. When I was younger I probably would have liked it a lot more but."

"But?" She questioned, reaching up to scratch his chest.

"Now that I'm with you, it's different. I kinda wanna keep you all to myself you know?"

"Mmm, I know." Judy sighed, rising up from his lap. "But this bunny has to hit the shower, wash all this chocolate off and relax."

"You know it might actually be fun to watch a chocolate bunny melt." Nick joked

"Ha-ha." She laughed, disappearing behind Nick's bedroom door. Stretching out his arm, Nick thought to himself for a moment. How close Judy had come to getting shot, how fun it was to dance, have a few drinks with her. The rush of the chase through the city. It was a lot to take in all at once. He could feel an urge welling up within. Just to hold her for a bit longer tonight, he almost craved going to sleep with her in his arms. His eyebrows shot up though as he thought of an idea and started toward the room. Inside, he could see Judy's outfit on the floor, half buried under the bed, the door to the bathroom partly closed. Slipping from his pants and boxers, he gave the bathroom door a quick tap and peeked inside spotting a naked Judy discarding something in the toilet.

"Hey." Nick greeted in a rather unusually shy manor.

"Nick!" Judy exclaimed, closing the lid on the toilet and covering herself up. "What are you doing?"

"I figured you could use a hand, scrubbing those hard to reach places. So." Nick explained, revealing himself to Judy. Her hands slowly fell away from her body. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, resuming his cool little smile. Judy bashfully nodded while Nick walked in, his tail swishing the door closed.

The shower stall was quite large, built with a larger predator in mind. Nick could have easily laid the length or width of it in comfort. With a turn of the handles, the shower came on with Nick ushering Judy inside. They let the water wash over them both, Judy nervously holding on to Nick's side, gazing up into his eyes. Nick gave her ears another good long stroke before taking hold of the shampoo bottle. He cradled her down into his lap, Judy now facing the shower with Nick behind her. Drizzling the shampoo along her back, he moved in circular motions, up to her shoulders and down her back. Much to his surprise, the dye was coming out rather fast, plums of brown and near black foaming up with the shampoo as the grey fur beneath began to show.

Judy moaned in a state of bliss, she really was quite tired and this was more than an exceptional treat for her. Nick moved up her neck to her head, gently scrubbing the color away. He gave her fur another coating of shampoo to ensure it wouldn't thin out. Judy loved the feel of his paws on her head. Each scratch around her ears, the foam ebbing down her chest and just a hint of his claws tickling the surface of her skin. Nick stepped up and plucked the shower head from its holster and flushed out the remaining color on her head, neck and back with smooth strokes. Placing it back he sat back down and kissed Judy's neck.

"Gotta do your legs now." He whispered.

"Mmm." She submitted, flopping onto her belly. Nick pulled her legs in, just enough for them to slightly straddle him. He could see her delicates in much more detail, but tried to stay focused on his work. He drew lines of shampoo down her legs, scrubbing up her thighs and back down to her feet. Once again, plums of brown popped up, washing down the drain as the water cascaded over her legs. He moved higher, scrubbing her backside and tail, even grasping it lightly to wring out the color. Judy caught her breath in her throat, it was almost as if Nick was teasing her. Nick rolled her over, face up. Judy had kept her eyes close, listening to the water brush passed her ears as it faded into the drain. It was so relaxing and yet, with her body so exposed to Nick it was quite exciting. Nick worked the top of her thighs and moved down once again, scrubbing the last bits away until at last, Judy was herself again.

"There, no more chocolate bunny." Nick whispered.

"Do you have to stop?" She barely managed to eek out. Nick ran his fingers between her toes, before sliding his hands back up to her waist. Judy grabbed hold of them while he pulled her up. She could feel how stiff he was, right between her legs. It was enough to cause her to stammer. "Nick." She whispered, leaning her nose into his. Nick gave the only response he could, rasping his lips over hers and pulling her tight to his body.

Judy and Nick kissed repeatedly, all the while she found herself grinding on the flesh between her legs. The suppressor had worn off and the urges from her state of estrus were all she could think of after such a long night. Breaking from his lips, she began kissing down his chest, grinding harder and harder on Nick's growing cock.

"Judy." He whispered. She understood what he wanted, throwing her caution to the wind, she took hold of Nick's sheath and guided his tip between her legs. With one long drawn out stammer, she lowered her rump, allowing him inside. Nick's eyes bloomed, she was incredibly tight, hot and spastic. Judy winced a little trying to get him in as deep as possible. Before she could react, Nick began to thrust upward in slow rhythmic motions. She decided to let him set the pace, this being her first time mating with anyone.

Leaning onto his chest and grasping the fur tight, Nick continued to mate her. Judy gasped with each thrust, feeling it press inside deep before withdrawing. It seemed with every push he was growing thicker inside, stretching her with each press and alleviating with a withdrawal.

"Oh Nick." She moaned, holding his chest tighter. It started as a tingle at the tip of her folds, but with each rushing heartbeat it spread further inside her. Her legs felt weak for the first time in her life as she all but convulsed on him, the orgasm surging through the walls that Nick was now eagerly mating. His knot exposed, but unable to penetrate was bouncing between her legs with every thrust. Nick took hold of it as he gave one more good press and began his own climax. He squeezed his knot tight as streams of seed were expelled into Judy's body. Like the water over her back, she could feel it welling up and soaking her inside, cooling the heat her body had sent her in.

The two breathing heavily took their time to come down from this exertion. Judy slowly picking up her head to meet Nick's eyes. He was still inside, but the thickness of his flesh was fading away. Judy rubbed up his chest, a warm rush of tingles trickling down her back.

"Carrots." He gasped, clasping her cheek in his hand. "I love you."

"I love you too." She answered, basking in his warmth with her head on his chest.

"Oh no no." He chuckled, pulling her up a bit and withdrawing from her body he cradled her head in his neck, nuzzling and holding her tight. "Much better."

"Mmm." Judy moaned, returning every nuzzle and cuddle he offered up. They laid there for a few more moments, embracing the new, intimate level they had reached. Though it was interrupted by a few rather cold splashes of water on her back. Her eyes grew wide when she realized. "Uh oh."

"The hot water." Nick concluded.

"Cold!" She giggled rising to her feet in a hurry. Nick shut off the shower and opened the door. Judy grabbed a towel and began patting herself down while Nick followed suit. Throwing the towel around her, Nick pulled her in for a few more kisses, while she let her own towel fall away. Giggling she broke free, twirling away from his towel trap and leapt into his bed and tried to bury herself in the sheets. "Come and find me."

"Ahem." He fake coughed. Judy poked her head out from the sheets while Nick slowly slid over head. Her eyes popped wide for a moment, realizing he was mounting her again.

"Oh sweet cheese and crackers." She stammered. Nick just smiled down, slowly retracting her back beneath the sheets.

"Gotcha."

Nick and Judy strolled through the doors of the station, cups of hot coffee in their hands while Judy hefted a small box of donuts. Bounding over to Clawhauser's desk, she leapt up and beamed.

"Morning! Present for you." Ben's eyes bloomed wide as a kitten as he clasped his cheeks.

"Oh yay!" Wasting no time he snatched up the remaining doughnuts inside and scarffed them down. "Oh, I needed this so bad. The usual place we order from has been late the last two days! So rude!" Judy laughed, turning around to see Nick greeting Fangmeyer with a fist pound.

"How's it going woofy?"

"Heya Nick. Judy, how's it going?" He waved.

"Good! Great to see you Jason."

"Hey you two coming next Saturday?" Jason asked.

"To?" Nick wondered circling his hand.

"Annual police and fire barbeque. Matt and I are heading up the baseball game for it, you in?"

"Sure." Nick agreed, giving a quick shrug. "Sounds like it could be fun."

"Where is it happening?" Judy asked.

"Oh here!" Clawhauser spoke up handing her a flyer. "I keep forgetting to give this to you guys. Starts at five in Savannah square." Judy tucked the flyer into her pocket and smiled to Nick.

"I'm sure we can squeeze it in." She winked. Nick raised his glasses and returned one back.

"Hopps! Wilde! My office." Bogo called from upstairs. "Clawhauser, tell everyone we're starting role call in 15."

"Got it boss." Ben saluted. Nick and Judy proceeded up the stairs and into Bogo's office, both taking the seat across from him. He clasped his hands on the desk, taking to his usual scowl.

"We need to have a talk."

"About?" Judy asked, raising up her ears.

"Look I'm no fool so let's get this out of the way fast. I know the two of you are involved with each other. Policy is clear that workplace relationships are prohibited."

"Got any proof?" Nick casually threw out.

"Don't get smart with me, fox. Besides, we're not going to be completely black and white on the issue. I'm willing to allow this so long as it does not interfere with your ability to perform your jobs. The moment it does, I'll have no choice but to reassign one of you, or fire the most recent between you hired. Are we clear?"

"Clear sir." Judy submitted.

"Got it."

"Good. Now on to the more troubling issue. The flash drive you recovered from Wolford brought in some rather disturbing news. For one thing, we may have seriously underestimated the threat this new duo poses. We've verified that he is Alexander Kasi, and the fox he's working with goes by the name Psych. His real name remains a mystery, no one among the crew know it. We have Aiden Valor, panther from Predaton. Bryan Baxter, racoon from Fairways, a township outside the city and Jordan Avana, an Impala from right here in Zootopia."

"And Howitzer." Nick laughed lightly.

"Howitzer?" Judy questioned.

"The alias Wolford is going by."

"Shut your tiny mouths for a moment." Bogo cut off. "Psych is a much larger threat than we originally anticipated. He's an incredible hacker, with knowledge on disabling security systems, traffic cameras or hijacking them. His list of offenses in Predaton include causing massive blackouts, hiding money trails, possession and creation of explosives and stun weapons including a particularly nasty claw based one; hacking banks for vault codes and stealing money digitally. The only good news is that their hideout in the Rainforest District has some restrictions. Psych can only access emergency network lines that were established years ago. These are patched in to the city's power grid, traffic cameras and call centers, but not to the banks, city databases or police databanks."

"So we know where they are, how should we move in and stop them?" Judy questioned.

"An emergency bunker, would be hard to break into wouldn't it?" Nick assessed.

"But not impossible. Maybe the air vents or blasting open the front?"

"Psych and Oshu are well fortified within. Besides, we need more information about their motives, more evidence that directly connects them to the explosion in Tundratown and any other crimes. Wolford is hard at work, compiling just that, all the evidence we need to put them away for good. We'll look for an opportunity to move in and hit them on our terms." Bogo stated.

"Sheesh, so they're no small timers."

"Duke did say Oshu and the fox were the perfect brain and brawn combo." Judy noted.

"He may have been very right. Psych will likely make an attempt to patch in to the city networks soon. We've been monitoring traffic on our servers but haven't noticed anything yet. While Psych is attacking us digitally, it seems Kasi has an obsession." The chief trailed off for a moment, turning directly to Judy. "With you."

"Me?" Judy nervously sat back. Nick folded his ears back, taking the matter much more seriously.

"Wolford noted that Oshu has obsession with finding and killing you. He thinks of you as a beacon for hope in this city, and he wants it extinguished."

"He is NOT, getting to her." Nick reinforced.

"Agreed. As of this moment the two of you are on paid leave. I recall you were heading out of town this weekend anyway, yes?"

"Yeah, visiting my parents in Bunnyburrow." Judy acknowledged.

"It might not be a bad idea to stay there until we take care of this."

"I can't just abandon this assignment, chief you need my help to stop these two." Judy protested.

"I will not recklessly put an officer in direct danger from a psychopath with a affinity for eating prey!" Bogo retorted pointing a finger at Judy. Calming himself down, he sat back and rubbed the bridge of his nose for a moment. "Check in on Monday, I don't care what time. If we truly are stumped than yes, we'll bring you back into this. But for now, for safety sake; stay out of this." Bogo advised. "Take the day off, stock up on food and make any preparations you need. If things are still volatile on Monday, we may need to move you to a safe house."

"Understood." Judy agreed. Nick wrapped an arm around her and held her close.

"Maybe this is for the best for now, Carrots. Just take a breath before we dive back in it, hey?"

"Yeah." She sighed.

"Judy." Bogo announced standing up as the two were about to leave through the door. "Be careful."

"Yes sir."

"Happy now?" Psych smiled up to Oshu. The two were in Psych's little den, watching the monitors light up. "Thanks to your little distraction last night, and Aiden and my covert job, we have full access to the city, albeit a bit slow."

"You got the vault codes?" Oshu questioned, resting his hand on the chair.

"They're downloading now. Here's the trick though. We can get the code easy enough to unlock the safe's default lock, however. There is a digital pass key that constantly changes every 15 seconds that you have to enter first." Psych explained.

"Well how the fuck do we get passed that?!"

"It'll take a bit of time, but I can create a copy of that digital pass and sync it with their server to get the code at the time we hit them. I'll send Aiden out to pick up a few extra parts I'll need and in the mean time start downloading the cities data banks and police records."

"Why do you want those?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have your little bunny toy's address? Phone number?" Psych smiled up to him. Oshu offered up right back to him.

"Well look at you, offering up presents like its Christmas."

"Tis the season." Psych chuckled. "It'll take some time, I have to reroute the traffic through a few VPN's so hopefully they don't realize it's coming to me."

"What's all that mean?"

"Means take it easy on watching the balloon porn for a while." He quipped. Oshu playfully slapped Psych's ear.

"Shut the fuck up." He laughed.

"It's not what they meant by wear a rubber." He carried on. Oshu covered his face, nearly keeling over laughing alongside Psych. It took him a moment or two to catch his breath.

"Alright old timer, you do your thing. I'm gonna have Baxter check out new potential safe houses, in case the cops get wise to this place."

"Sounds good." Psych agreed.

"I'm actually pretty glad we got the day off." Nick announced, pushing a shopping cart down the soup aisle of a grocery store. "Been putting off shopping for a while, and it's always nice to have an extra set of hands to carry the bags."

"Yeah, nice." Judy half-heartedly agreed, clinging to the side as they walked along. Nick shook his head with a smile and parked the cart, walking alongside Judy he draped his arm over her.

"Here we have rookie sensation, officer Judy Hopps, benched for the first time in her career." He played up. "Officer Hopps, officer Hopps! Could ya tell us why the chief decided to sideline his star player?" Nick swung around and folded his ears back, doing his best Judy impression. "Well, was this a safety concern? Yes, yes it was. Cause when your star player is singled out by the opposing team, it's best to let em rest instead of risking further injury."

"Knock it off." Judy pushed him back with a chuckle.

"Well, you do get why the chief made the decision he did, right?"

"I guess. I just hate leaving things unfinished. You know me, Nick."

"I never quit." He joined her, saying in unison. "You're asking me, the guy you strung out to every corner of this city to find a missing otter if I know you never quit?" He warmly smiled. Judy shook her head before falling onto his shoulder and taking in a good hug. "I get it. Trust me Carrots I really do. And you're not off the case; he's just taking the bull's eye off your back. If these guys are really after you, especially some nut job that's eaten someone? I think it's a good idea to take a step back and re-evaluate things."

"I suppose your right." She consented, snatching up a can of vegetable soup. "Sides, if I'm going to be staying at your place. We're gonna need a little more than orange juice and snacks."

"Lead the way." Nick smiled. The two went on quite the shopping spree, the cart filling with bread, cookies, flat bread, carrots, celery, apples along with a half dozen other varieties of fruits and vegetables. Nick picked out a few packages of salmon, tuna, crab meat, shrimp and even throwing in a few artificial steaks and bacon strips. Judy giggled, covering her mouth as he loaded it all in.

"Predator food, are you gonna make me try this?" She winked up to him.

"I think you might like shrimp, but we gotta get some good dipping sauce with it too." Nick replied. Grabbing some milk, popsicles, orange juice, carrot juice for Judy and a case of cub soda, they concluded their shopping and headed for the checkout. Judy strayed from the cart and took to holding Nick's side with him pulling her in nice and close as the slowly made it through the line. Nick couldn't help but notice the odd stare and nervous glances they were attracting around them. It didn't bother him too much, but he knew he had to be wary while they were out. Oshu and Psych could literally be anywhere, while his new responsibility was dawning on him, it made him all the more eager to get home.

Bursting through the door, each of them hefting several bags, they restocked the fridge, dumping out the now expired food and drinks and replacing them with the fresh. Judy snared herself a glass of carrot juice and flung herself on the couch while Nick cracked open the case of soda and opened up a can, taking a spot beside her.

"All stocked up."

"Yep, should be good for a while." Nick agreed. Taking a sip of her drink, she folded her ears back as her eyes bloomed wide.

"Oh no."

"What?"

"I totally forgot to get more suppressors!"

"Yeah, I noticed that." Nick smiled, turning on the TV. Judy gave him a rather playful shove.

"You noticed and didn't remind me?"

"Carrots hun, I think it's safe to say you don't have to worry about suppressing anything around me." He smiled.

"Ha." She scoffed taking another sip. "Well my heat should be over soon anyway."

"Residents of Tundratown are starting to feel relief today as power to the underground cooling systems has been restored." The leopard news reporter stated.

"Indeed, just days after the explosion that devastated the towers, reconstruction efforts have been well underway. With hazard teams successfully cleaning up the interior, a volunteer crew headed by activist and songwriter Gazelle have pushed the deadline up from three months, to just a little under one." The moose reporter added in, cutting away to Gazelle and a lioness reporter on the scene.

"Gazelle, we can't thank you enough for your time, could you tell us how exactly the volunteer crew have been helping?"

"We have amazing animals here, and they have been working with city crews day and night, assisting in every way they can. Moving materials here with their trucks, training with construction workers and lots of heavy lifting, dedication and hard work." Gazelle turned back and gestured to the mammals behind her. "Everyone here, is here because they care about this city. That's also why I'm here, and to show the people who have done this to our city, that our spirit is not so easily broken."

"That's wonderful Gazelle, thank you so much again for your time."

"Yes, I have to get back to work." She giggled.

"Back to you in the studio."

"Thank you Karen." The leopard smiled. "Chief Bogo has stated that every effort is being made in the investigation into the attack on Tundratown, including into the murder of Montador Big. Big's mansion was also the subject of a bombing, most of the building had collapsed while fire crews were able to extinguish the flames with relative ease thanks to the return of cool temperatures. It's believed up to six of his associates have been killed either by the blast or by gunfire, the chief stating there is likely a link between the two incidents."

"So Big's death is now public." Nick noted.

"It's probably just what those two monsters want."

"Mmm?"

"Think about it." Judy turned to him. "Blowing up the towers, taking out Big. They're not afraid of making themselves known."

"Himself." Nick corrected. "We didn't even really know about Psych until Wolford gave us the info on him."

"Yeah." Judy pondered for a while. "You gotta wonder if Psych's really the one masterminding this whole thing. Keeping Oshu up front, right where he loves it."

"So he can work in the dark, where he's best." Nick finished.

"Exactly."

"Well it's nice to see your not thinking about work." Nick quipped. Judy winked and nudged him before snuggling under his arm.

"Who do we have at work that's good with computers?" She asked more quietly.

"I don't know. I'd say bring Finnick on board, but he's not overly great with them. Just enough to copy-" Nick cut himself off. Judy glanced up at him with a devious little smile. "Flyers for missing cubs."

"Nice recovery."

"Thanks." Nick laughed.

"Weather wise, this weekend is looking pretty good, sunny and warm right up until Sunday night. However as a low pressure system moves in from the south, we can expect thunderstorms, at times heavy in the afternoon hours Monday and into the evening. We might get a break overnight but that rain won't be going anywhere, temperatures dropping into the low teens, 15'C for Tuesday, only 13'C on Wednesday. Thankfully by Thursday afternoon we should clear up enough we could see some sunshine in the evening."

"Lovely, we skip town during a nice weekend." Nick commented.

"Mmm, lemme see what it'll be like in Bunnyburrow." Judy replied, cracking open her phone. Nick kissed her head, setting his drink down and cuddling her in even tighter. "Mmm, about the same, actually it's looking like it'll be a bit hotter on the weekend."

"Something's certainly hot right now." Nick commented, kissing her cheek.

"Nick." She playfully moaned, latching her lips onto his. Nick kissed her three more times, reaching down he unbuttoned her shirt and started moving down her neck and chest. Judy laid back on the couch, letting Nick go to work, kissing right down to her belly button, before moving back up to her chest for a quick kiss and lick. Judy unzipped herself from her pants and slid them off, Nick taking hold of her waist and sliding her panties down and discarding them on the floor. He opened up her legs, seeing the slightly red, swollen lips and began bathing them. Pushing his tongue inside, he licked the walls of body almost clean, giving the entirety of her folds a good long kiss. Judy moaned and pressed her head against the arm of the couch. Taking a breather, he slipped a finger inside and began rubbing upward.

"Told ya, very hot in there right now."

"Oh you're such a tease." She panted. Nick continued fingering her, putting pressure on her g-spot while her pussy generously leaked. "Nick!" She shouted, pulling herself back. She suddenly leapt up and pushed him back flat on the couch. "My turn." She smiled, hovering over him. Stripping him of his shirt and Nick eagerly kicking off his pants, Judy grabbed hold of him and started stroking the red meat, protruding from his sheath. She toyed with the tip, grazing it over her pussy again and again as she stroked the shaft.

"You tease." He laughed shyly. Judy relaxed her eyes and let him slip into her body once again. Nick's head fell back on the arm of the couch, stammering as Judy mated him. The leaking fluids squishing with each press inside, his knot grinding her folds in a vein struggle to enter her body. It was becoming too much for her, Nick grabbed hold of her waist and really began thrusting. Judy moaned and wailed, her ears folding back as he legs quivered with pleasure. She arrived, squeezing Nick's flesh tight within her, whimpering as the orgasm shook her body. Panting heavily as it subsided, she found herself becoming more relaxed. Nick kept on pushing and instinctively tried thrusting his knot inside. Judy cringed, the throbbing flesh attempting to penetrate inside wasn't relenting. The sudden pop inside sent Nick over the edge and started cumming. Judy cried out, his gushing cock pressed hard on her insides as they spurted seed continually. Nick tossed to and fro, Judy was such a unique mate, more tight than anything he had ever experienced. The main torrent slowed, but lodged inside, he could feel sporadic spurts of seed firing within. Judy looked down at the mess below her, panting heavily as all that remained of his knot was the small slip of flesh beneath it.

"I can't.. Believe it.. So... Amazing." Nick panted, gasping as he released again.

"Oh wow, you foxes. Are so big." Judy moaned with pleasure.

"Ah, it'll be in there for.... For a while." Nick smiled, sitting upright again. The two kissed as Nick continued to grunt and groan. "Come on, bed. Now."

"Ok." She agreed, keeping her eyes closed. Nick picked her up, knot inside and all and carried her off to his bedroom. Setting her down he continued to grind himself inside. "Ugh! Oh gosh Nick, easy!"

"Sorry. It's just. So good."

"So good." She stammered. "Please, let's just stay in bed today."

"Read my mind, Carrots."

After having spent the afternoon vigorously mating, Nick and Judy decided to serve themselves a late dinner in bed. Judy was naked in the kitchen, grabbing a few strawberries, cherries and blueberries, shutting the door with her foot she made a dash for the bedroom and dove right in to bed with Nick.

"What'd you bring this time?" Nick questioned, Judy straddling him as he sat upright at the top of the bed. Giggling she took out a strawberry and started running it over his lips, Nick closed his eyes, letting the fruit slip in. Nick plucked a cherry from the packaging and ran it over her lips. Judy eagerly wrapping it over her lips as Nick plucked the pit and stem from her mouth. She let a soft little moan escape and a giggle, planting her head on his chest.

"This is perfect."

"Not too fast?" Nick posed to her.

"Nah, well. Maybe a bit, but. We've been friends for so long, it all just feels natural."

"Oh, was I in the "Friend Zone" with you?" He chuckled.

"Not really." She playfully dismissed, rubbing her feet on his. "I think it was when you got so upset with me over the night howler case, I realized how much you actually meant to me, you know?"

"So I had to get mad at you?" Nick raised his brow with a smile.

"Yeah, sure go with that." Judy bopped his nose playfully with another strawberry, to which Nick gobbled up. "I have plenty of guys that are friends. Ben, Jason, Matt, Nathan back home."

"Nathan?"

"Rabbit neighbor of ours from the farm down a ways. You'll get to meet him, we hung out in school a lot. But, with you it was different. I felt so horrible after what I had said about predators and knowing how bad it hurt you after you opened up to me. It was just, there. I could feel something, you know?" She insisted, squeezing him.

"I wanted to stay mad at you." Nick confessed, stroking her head. "I tried so hard and all I ended up doing was being mad at myself for trusting you. Heh, and this fox wound up in an emotional and literal squallier living in a box under a bridge, tempted to go back to that farm with that cute puffy wuffy little tail between his legs and talk to you and make up."

"Why does that sound familiar?" Judy perked up.

"You know I never got around to saying this but, sorry."

"For?"

"For saying all that when we met." Nick said, stroking her back. "My life hasn't been the easiest. Ranger scouts included, I had a lot of bad deals come my way."

"Like." She asked, reaching for his cheek.

"My mom passing away when I was twelve. Living with my grandparents was alright but, they were both retired and had a lot of trouble paying for things like school and food. Patrick, Finnick and I started the popsicle hustle just to get by, but we got so good at it. We just stuck with it. My grandparents didn't really approve, but we were our own bosses. In charge of ourselves for once."

"And your father?" Judy questioned.

"Never knew him. Mom never talked about him with me."

"Aww Nick." Judy cooed, cuddling up under his chin and holding him tight. "Listen, you got me now ok? You don't need to hustle popsicles anymore, and you have a girlfriend who loves you."

"I know." Nick smiled. "That's why stuff really doesn't get to me anymore. I got everything I need, right here in my paws." Cuddling her close, Nick embraced her warm little body until the feel of cold food hit his thigh. "Though we might want to put this stuff back before we turn this bed into a fruit salad."

"Hahahaha."
