Chapter Text
Judy awoke in a burst of momentum lurching into a sitting position as her built in alarm clock went off in her head, and looked around in a haze of grogginess, taking note that Nick wasn't at her side sleeping like he normally was in the morning. He rarely got up before me she thought.
I looked around my dull apartment for a note he may of left,
he didn't normally leave without waking me or leaving a note.
Maybe he went into work early?
Seems unlikely but a better place to start then nowhere i guess.
She got up, took a quick shower and got dressed into her custom made ZPD blues, she then pinned the badge that she spent more hours than she'd like to admit polishing to her left breast and walked out the door for another day of making the world a better place.
Walking down street on her way to the precinct, Judy noticed many mammals going about their daily routine, a bunch of female skunks holding a car wash, Weaselton trying to sell dvd's but noone buying, Cars driving by, a normal day in Zootopia. She saw on of the TV's in one of the windows with the news on it "We have some news coming to you at 9 about the Lapine who saved Zootopia all by her self." Wow, shame on them, I didn't do it alone i had Nick she thought. For some reason everything felt off to her though like something was horribly wrong, still no sign of Nick too. she was starting to get worried that Nick had gotten in trouble or something equally worrying.
As she pushed through the large double doors of the ZPD's entrance with some effort considering the doors weren't made for small prey animals in mind, she'd have remind herself to try to convince Chief Bogo to get a smaller door next to it installed for little animals now that the Mammal inclusion program is taking off with astounding success. She walked up to the Receptionists desk which held a big flabby cheetah by the name of Clawhouser who was currently eating a bowl of his favorite cereal "Lucky Chomps". He hadn't noticed her yet
"Ahem" she cleared her throat to get his attention.
"Oh, Judy, everyone is in the bullpen, I'm sure Bogo will be happy to know you could make it today!" He said overextubrently while still eating his cereal, Judy turned around to go to the bullpen for assignments and patrol, when she remembered she hadn't seen Nick yet.
"OH JUDY, i forgot have you heard Gazelles new album?" he said giggling like a schoolgirl
"No, but sounds exciting by how your going on about it, ill have to check it out once i get home, and i forgot to ask you..Clawhouser?" she said hesitating even though she didn't know why, something felt horribly wrong.
"Yeah Judy?" Clawhouser pressed on the question she was about to ask trying to get the possible gossip out faster
"Have you seen Nick today, did he come in early?" she asked with worry visible in her eyes
"Nick, who's Nick, i don't know anyone who works in the ZPD by that name"
"Nick Wilde...my partner?" She repeated his name hoping to jog his memory
"OHHHHHH, You have a partner?!!! How come i've never met him, you afraid to bring your boyfriend to meet o'l Clawhouser?"
"Just look him up on the computers to see if he clocked in today" she said trying to get this over with so she wouldn't be late for the bullpin.
He began typing away on the computer
After a few moments a look of shock came over his face.
"Judy, we have no records of a Nick Wilde...anywhere, ever"
