It has been a few months since the Night Howler case was solved, Just a month ago Nicholas P. Wilde finished his Police Academy training, after being suggested to join by a certain dumb bunny who was the first bunny in the police force. Though he has come to grow upon the job, and his ways as being a once con-artists are still with him, he made a great cop for Chief Bogo, since he knew where everyone was. As well as good locations for crimes to happen, so it was easy for him to check out and mark someone as suspicious and then his partner, Judy would follow them for a while until something happened.

But behind every joke that he made, every nickname he called Judy. The dumb bunny had a place in his heart that he unfathomably upheld with every step that he took along her side. He honestly liked the bunny, a lot. Judy made him realize many things about himself that he was so much more than just a sly-fox who was nothing more than what everyone wanted him to be. She made him realize that he was actually a really good person, with the ideology that no one could get to him, he made an absolutely brilliant officer out of Judy. Heck, he was almost as good as Judy was, then again she can have her bad-ass moments when it came the criminals.

While they were driving through downtown, Nick happened to look over at Judy for a second and it was almost like she was waiting for him to do that so she could strike a conversation with him. "Nick?" she first started, making the fox, who had his reflective shades on raise an eyebrow and continue to look at her. "Have you ever though about how life would be today if it wasn't for meeting each other?" she questioned

The fox smirked and made a snappy come back. "You mean if you never blackmailed me with that Carrot pen?" He snickered lightly and Judy looked over giving him a look before looking forward again.

"You know what I mean dumb-fox." She spoke and rolled her eyes.

Nick smiled at her and said "I have, a few times. I'd probably still be doing the Pawpsicle routine that I always dud." he spoke as he raised his reflective glasses onto his forehead, his emerald eyes looking around at the street, and then back at Judy again.

"Hm." Judy simply responded and chuckled lightly then.

"And Belleweather would still be mayor." Judy spoke then

"And you'd still be a carrot farmer." Nick spoke back and smirked again.

"Probably." Judy spoke and laughed softly and suddenly she saw a car in the distance flash through a red light. She looked at Nick and smirked, he saw it too and he flicked his shades back down and turned on the sirens.

Judy punched the car forward by stepping on the gas, and quickly rounding the corner as they took off in pursuit.

"This is Officer Wilde, We have a 510 in the southern area of the Downtown District. Vehicle appears to be a 1990's Nissan 300ZX, Red." He finished and then dispatch (Clawhauser) responded back. "10-4 upon that Officer Wilde, need any back up units?" the radio reported back, and Nick held the microphone up to his mouth again and said "One additional unit is all." He spoke and then placed the microphone for the radio back onto the radio.

"All available units in the Downtown area, respond Respond Code 3, One unit only needed. 1990 Nissan 300ZX, coloured red." Clawhauser then spoke and then another voice, deeper than Clawhausers responded.

"Officer McHorn. in pursuit respond, Code 3." He said and Nick watched the Nissan as it tried to evade them. But Judy was better than that. Nothing can really escape her vision, or her period. Especially with her bunny ears that could literally her a pin drop from half a mile away. Exaggerating of course, unless the city was absolutely quiet.

Though suddenly the car spun out of control as it passed through an intersection, and then Judy saw another car spinning in circles in the same direction. The driver of the Nissan hit a car at the intersection.

"10-83, 10-83! Impact at the intersection of 2nd and Main street!" Judy fumbling as she was saying into the radio before a responce came back. "10-4! Injuries reported?"

"Standby" Judy then responded as she skidded the car to a stop at the intersection.

Both Judy and Nick got out of the car. Judy went towards the Nissan as Nick went towards the other car that was hit.

As Judy got to the Nissan which was upside down, she didn't see the driver and she looked around. Suddenly shots began ringing out. Nick's ears fell flat the second the shots rang out "Judy!" He yelled out looking around for where she went. She went hiding the second the shots ranged out, but she was out of his view, and Nick got really worried suddenly.

"This is Officer Wilde, Shots fired." He spoke as he ran towards the Nissan, and then dove for cover as more shots rang out. Feeling something sharp hit his thigh as he landed and he yelped as it did getting up against the car.

Judy heard the Yelp, and then yelled out Nick's name "Nick!" To which Nick heard it, and looked around for it.

"Officer down!" Nick responded into the radio again, and Judy got really worried suddenly, and went looking for Nick through the streets carefully. She couldn't find the person who originally shot.

But she was worried about Nick a little too much, and suddenly another shot rang out and Judy instantly collapsed onto the ground in pain as a bully went right through her shoulder, breaking the bones she had right there.

More sirens came up suddenly, and McHorn and his Wolf partner came out and shot the suspect twice, since he was firing upon officers. The suspect, an Arctic fox, fell to the ground with a pretty satisfying thud to McHorn and the wolf as they came up to Nick and Judy, who wasn't far from Nick. But still out of Nick's view.

Nick was in better condition than Judy. The bullet kind of dug into Nick, but it was still like a graze. But for Judy, the bullet went right through her shoulder, and broke her collar bone, as well as nicked her shoulder blade. She was bleeding out currently, as the bullet also hit a blood vessel.


Later that day, while in the Hospital, Nick did not leave Judy's side for one minute. She was subdued on her way to the hospital and she went into surgery very quickly since she was loosing blood.

Once she was out, Nick stayed by her side the entire time, Her shoulder was repaired to the best of it's ability, the bleeding had stopped. But her shoulder was in a cast and wrapped up pretty good.

She woke slowly, looking around quietly at the white room. The only thing changing the contrasting colours of white was Nick's Red fur that was near her. He was resting his head on the bed, away from her. She smiled softly, but was still a bit sleepy. She placed her paw against his head, lightly stroking his red fur, and suddenly he snapped his head in her direction and quickly started smiling "Carrots!" He spoke up and gave her a half hug.

Judy was a bit surprised at the hug, but smiled softly and hugged him back with her one good arm.

"Thank god..." He spoke softly as he sat back down in the chair he was sitting in.

"What happened?" she questioned softly as she rubbed her head lightly.

"You were shot..." Nick responded a little bit more softer, but the Bunny heard him.

"No... you were shot." Judy responded.

"Hey dumb bunny.." Nick responded and uncovered her lightly showing the shoulder cast. "You were shot." he spoke and chuckled lightly.

"Oh.." She responded back and gave a nervous little chuckle and smiled at him.

"Yeah." He responded and smiled softly, and suddenly the door opened.

"Ahh. Ms. Hopps, I see you're finally awake." The Doctor that came in said as the door closed behind her.

Judy nodded softly and smiled at the Doctor.

"Your friend Mr. Wilde here didn't even leave your side since you got out of surgery. He cares a lot." The Doctor said, and Nick kind of gave a nervous chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked away suddenly.

"Alright Ms. Hopps, First off, you need to be careful with your shoulder. So, you won't be able to do much with work until it heals properly. Which may take a few weeks." The Doctor first started, and Judy sighed. "Secondly, I haven't talked to your boss yet... So you should more than likely talk to him about what to do for the next few weeks while you're out." The Doctor then finally finished and Judy nodded.

"Thank you Doctor." Judy spoke lightly and sighed as the Doctor nodded and then left the room.

She sighed again after the Doctor left. She was going to be out of field work for a few weeks? That bullet may as well have hit her in the head then, because this was going to be a long few weeks... She looked at Nick, who was still looking away. She raised her eyebrow, not knowing what was with Nick just then. But she was getting really tired again, and started to close her eyes softly before finally she fell right back to sleep.
