Ok... This is my first story and I am trying not to stress out about it. Please be patient with me because I am just trying to figure this out as I write it. But anyway, this story takes place after Judy and Nick become a couple. Trying not to put that much sex in the story but the T rating exists for a reason. You have been warned. (most of it is for violence)

this story has underwent some serious re- writing so if some authors notes don't make sense dont worry about it.

Chapter One: Desperation

The worst thing about it was that she wasn't there; no one was. Everyone but her had already heard before Bogo pulled her aside to break the news to her. She watched the traffic cameras over and over at her desk computer, utterly devastated as the footage showed once again the coyotes dragging Nick into the unmarked van after beating him unconscious with their baseball bats. She repeated the video again, memorizing every swing, every moment, and every face.

"Nick..." she sobbed.

"I thought the chief told you to go home," McHorn asked quietly from behind her.

"... he did bu-"

"Judy, go home. We'll find him," McHorn interrupted, showing much more compassion than he ever had in the past. When no reaction came from her, he somberly pleaded, "Judy, please."

"Ok... I'll go," she sobbed, tears now flowing freely onto her once spotless police uniform.

Walking through the streets of Zootopia hadn't been hard. Her feet carried her home without a thought on her part. Many stared at the lone bunny in a police uniform, crying her way through the city center, but she didn't care; if animals did try to help her, their voice was lost within a storm of emotions in her mind.

Staring at her smartphone in her bed gave her no solace. Nick's picture shook in her hand as she wailed. Curling up into a ball in her bed felt like the only thing she could do. Sshe was cold, afraid, devastated and angry so very angry.

The van,

"You think you can just run from the boss, Nick?" he taunted to the bleeding pile of fox that was limp against the unmarked van's doors. "You gonna' be in a world of hurt!"

Snickering echoed throughout the van as the group drove through the slums of Zootopia.

"You fucked up," he coughed weakly as some blood also escaped from lips.

"And how did we do that?" one of the coyotes jeered, kicking him in his broken ribs, again receiving the whimper he desired.

"You pissed her off... you shouldn't have done that," he whispered as the van carried him to his destination.
