Judith Hopps, My Friends Call me Judy

Luckily, the sewer entrance wasn't hard to find. Nick managed to pick the lock with little effort. Navigating the tunnels, on the other hand, was much harder. The weight of the officer was started to wear on the fox the more twists and turns he took. Finally, he stopped at the mouth of a small alcove. There were large pieces of machinery that hummed with life. This was as good a place as any to examine the officer. Nick grunted lowering the unconscious bunny on top of one of the large rectangle machines. Once he was free of the weight, he arched his back wincing as it cracked. Nick watched the rabbit's chest raise up and down. Her breathing seemed to be more regular now and not quite so shallow.

“Let's have a look at you, Officer...Hopps.” Nick reminded himself looking at the gold name tag below her badge.

Judith was very pretty, for a rabbit, he thought. Not very big, though. An all prey police force seemed like a good idea in theory, but Nick couldn't understand why the ZPD would allow such small mammals join. True the bunny was fast but she wasn't very strong, at least, she didn't look it. Nick decided that it wasn't very important to dwell on. He was sure they had their reasons and it wasn't for him to worry about.

Nick took her head in his hands turning it so he could see the wound just above her right eyebrow. It didn't look too bad but it was impossible to tell because of the blood crusted in the fur around it. It was a good sign that the wound was closed. If Nick had access to clean water he would have attempted to clean it. Since he didn't, he decided that it was best left alone.

“Alright, Officer Fluff. I'm gonna leave you here and be on my way, got some errands to run. As fun as this has been, let's not do it again.”

Whether she heard him or not, he didn't care. What he did care about was she wouldn't have any trouble finding her way back to the surface. Nick turned to leave when he felt something cold around his wrist followed by the sound of something ratcheting closed. Nick whipped around to see a pair of handcuffs. One on his wrist, the other she clicked around her own wrist.

“Don't count on it, fox.” Judy moaned and touched the side of her head where the cut was.

“What are you doing? Take 'em off, right now.”

“Over my dead body.”

“That can be arranged.”

“You'd kill a cop? You're stupider than you look.”

“Fine, don't take them off. I'll just take the key- No!”

Judy popped the key into her mouth and swallowed it, giving him a smirk. “You can have it. You just have to wait, shouldn't be more than a day or two.”

Nick grunted and slammed his fist against the metal casing around the machine. “Well, jokes on you, Carrots. I have friends that can take care of these.”

“Stop calling me that!”

“Then what would you prefer I call you?” Nick glared at her.

“Officer.”

“Then, Carrots it is.” Nick turned starting to walk with no regards for her.

The force of the fox's tug pulled her from the piece of equipment causing her to fall to the floor. She cracked her knees against the concrete. Nick didn't stop, he continued walking forcing her to fight to get to her feet. When she finally did, Nick could see that she had a visible limp. Nick looked down at her, instantly feeling bad for causing her to get hurt.

“Sorry, I hurt you,” Nick said solemnly.

At first, the bunny looked him, surprised by the sudden compassion in his voice. It was only a fleeting moment before she scowled at him. Nick fished a cigarette out of his shirt pocket putting it in his mouth. Quickly he lit it casting an amber glow around them. Judith looked up at him disgusted by his smoking. He smirked at her blowing a puff of azure smoke into her face. She coughed and jerked the handcuffs hard to cover her mouth.

“Don't be a dick, fox.”

Nick wasn't surprised by her fiery response.“I could say the same thing for you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The wonderful display of justice up there.”

“What?”

“Can't you see what you did was wrong?”

“Oh, you mean by arresting your sorry ass?” Judy smirked, wincing when he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth.

“You were electrocuting that lion for no reason.”

Judy's steps slowed, her ears falling back against her head. “For your information, he was becoming aggressive. I have a job to do and it's keeping everyone safe.”

“Well, what about him. You weren't doing a very good job keeping him safe when you were electrocuting him.”

Judy stopped pulling hard on the cuffs to spin the fox around. Nick struggled to hold on to his cigarette. The two looked at each other in the low light of the wall lamps. Judy's eyes were beautiful but the crook of her eyebrows hid something deeper. Nick could tell she wasn't just some token bunny. There was a determination in those eyes that very few possessed.

“Listen here, Fox.”

“My name is Nick.”

Judy took a deep breath and sighed out. “Judith...my name is Judith but my friends call me Judy.”

“Judith, I don't know what you witnessed back there, but that lion wasn't being aggressive. At least not until you started patronizing him. He bumped into that zebra, it was an accident. That zebra blew it way out of proportion and then you charged in there and exacerbated the situation.”

“Why is this my fault?”

Nick rolled his eyes and grunted, starting to walk again. “You should have just listened to both sides and then defused the situation. Instead, you let that zebra talk over the lion and then chastised the lion for it. If you're going to be racist that's fine, just don't do it under the guise of justice.”

“First of all, Nick, don't tell me how to do my job. Secondly, I'm not racist. All I could see was a lion getting ready to harm a zebra for no reason. I'm the hero, pal.”

“Then what do you see when you look at me, just a fox. I'm a predator, ooh, and you're prey. I could eat you up.” The sarcastic look on his face was gone with a puff of his cigarette. “But I'm not going to because that's gross.”

“Don't do me any favors, I'm still recovering from the last favor you did for me.”

Nick turned the corner and hopped over the small ditch of filthy water forcing Judy to trudge through it. She gagged and pushed the fox closer to the wall, kicking the muck off of her filth encrusted feet. Nick laughed and gave her a wicked grin before blowing a puff of smoke away from her.

“What are you talking about, last favor?”

“Oh, you must have forgotten when you threw me on the train tracks to escape.”

“You're delusional! You tripped over your giant feet and fell on the train tracks in your pursuit of this sham you call justice. Can't wait to see that on the news tomorrow.”

“Sham! You're the one wearing a deactivated collar.”

Nick stopped and slumped down so he could look deeply into her eyes. “You know why? Because I don't want to be electrocuted every time I so much as smile at another mammal. No thank you, I like my laughs to be loud and crazy, not contained and quiet for fear I might upset the all mighty collar.”

Nick didn't let her say anything before he started walking. He jerked the handcuffs hard and started up a shallow slope. Judy followed close behind him lost in thought, which was nice because it gave Nick a chance to think. His sense of direction was impeccable, he knew that if he kept following this path and took the left at the fork, it would double back to the back entrance to the enclave. The entrance was well hidden and there was a locked door to keep it safe. He didn't have a key, but he could just have someone let him in.

“It's not like that?”

“What?”

“The collars. It's not like that at all.”

“Have you ever worn one?”

“Well, no-”

“Then shut up, you don't know what you're talking about.”

Nick dropped his cigarette into the sludge rushing down the slope. He felt his blood starting to boil into his face making him feel warm all over. He wasn't prone to getting angry so easily but lately, things have been getting under his skin. All he wanted to do was get this all over with. It would give him a chance to make all of it disappear. That's where his strong point was, smoke and mirrors.

“I don't have to wear a collar.”

Judy stated the obvious. Nick's inner voice demanding that he not get involved. Demanding that he not react to what she was building too. It was too late, though, his mind was already wound up so that if she spoke again he was going to have to say something.

“Bunnies aren't known for being savage like foxes are.”

It felt as if she were trying to agitate him, like pulling one hair from his tail at a time. “Oh no, well I suppose electrocuting someone to death is consider Prey normal then?”

“God, you're like a broken record, fox. You know, I could kill you right now and there isn't a court that would convict me since you were resisting arrest.”

“Gonna kill me because I don't want to wear this thing that punishes me for just being born. Now, who's being savage.”

“I told you, it's not-”
Nick grabbed her by the shoulders and slammed her against the wall harder than he meant to. He got so close to her their noses were touching. His eyes looked deeply into her soul. 'You're a good boy' the voice reminded him. The voice continued, bringing a realization to him in the form of a whisper 'she's a good girl'.

A soft look washed over him as he whispered to her. “If I was so savage, I would have left you to die on those train tracks but I didn't because that's not who I am.”

Judy relaxed against his touch sighing as if she realized he was telling the truth. “That's...a fair statement, Nick.” The fire came back to her eyes in the same instant as she shoved him away. “Maybe, I'll mention that in my deposition. So, instead of being Euthanized, you'll only get life in prison.”

Nick backed away and looked her up and down in amazement at how strong she was for being so tiny. Nick jutted his chin in the direction they'd been traveling in. He could see by her reaction that she was surprised he even let her know that they were going to start walking again, instead of just pulling her along.

“Listen here, Judith. Have you ever spent time with a pred before?”

“Yes, and most of them were very pleasant.”

“See?” Nick said, self-satisfied by her answer.

“But I've also spent time with you, which wasn't pleasant. So, I guess it balances out.”

“Ugh!”

Nick took a sharp left where the lights grew dim. Way down the tunnel was a soft glow. It was the opening that led to the back docks. That was where he'd find the doorway home. Once there, he'd be able to lose fifteen pounds the easy way.

“Where are we going?” Judy sniffed the air, the hint of salt from the ocean could be smelled over the muck.

“We're going to my place, so we can get these cuffs off. It's big and bright, full of preds too. You'll love it there.” Nick smirked at her and started down the walkway again.

“I can't go there, I'll be eaten alive.”

“Don't flatter yourself, Flopsy. You're too small and sickly looking. You should be fine.”

“Oh har har, Nick. You're a laugh riot.”

Nick chuckled as he looked at her out of the corner of his eyes. “That's so sweet of you. Sorry, I can't say the same thing for you, bunny.”

Nick slowed his steps reaching back to undo the tie around her neck. Judith froze, a red tint filling her ears at his soft touch. Nick's keen ears could hear her breathing go shallow. When she gripped his hands with hers, he could feel they were cold even through the fur. Nick raised an eyebrow teasingly.

“Is this exciting you?”

“What? No! You're disgusting. I just don't want you to touch me. What are you doing?”

Nick pulled her tie from under her collar before leaning close to her. “I can't have you figuring out where we're going.”

Nick quickly tied it around her eyes. Making sure to bring it back around for another sweep. She fought against him for a second but relaxed at his touch. Nick was sure to be gentle and not hurt her but making sure it was tied tight enough so she couldn't see anything.

“I'm afraid-”

Nick was surprised to hear the tremble in the bunny's voice, it made his heart skip a beat. Nick would never dream of hurting someone, especially someone so helpless as Judith was now. Nick leaned close and pressed his lips to her ear.

“Trust me, nothing's going to happen to you while I'm around. You have my word.”

“But I don't trust you.” It sounded as if she were going to cry.

“What choice do you have? Besides, I didn't let you die earlier. Just have a little faith in me.”

“Alright...”

Nick swept the bunny up in his arms and carried her along the path. Her one arm was pinned at her back because of the cuffs, the other clung to his neck for dear life. Nick couldn't help but smile at what a good sport the officer was being. She was brave, that was one thing she was above all else. A thought played its way across his mind, in another life, in a different world, Judith and he may have been best friends.
