Fanfic: The Call (PG-13 for mature themes)

Summary: Nick makes the call no officer ever wants to

I have written Zootopia darkfic. God help me.

There were days when Chief Bogo could still feel good about being a cop. When they collared a criminal that the force had been chasing for too long. When a civilian said “Thank you” in the tone that let you know you really had made the world a little better, at least for one person.

Today was not one of those days.

“Sir, I'd like to make the call, if you're willing,” Wilde asked. His tail was limp, his ears were flopped down in exhaustion, but there was no hint in his stance or voice of the need he had to be feeling to either scream or break down sobbing.

“What you need to be doing is reporting to the ZPD counselor, Officer Wilde,” Bogo said. “This part is my job.”

“Chief, they don't know you,” Wilde said, his ears flicking back in challenge. “I've visited that little farm of theirs, played with their kids. They know me. They trust me.” He didn't have to add, They trusted me to keep her safe.
