The home smelled like wallpaper glue and fresh lilacs. Detective Wilde eyes fell on the many family portraits that hanged on the floral print walls. The portraits stretch from the door towards the end of the hall. He followed close behind Judy Hopps, his eyes falling on her wavy dress, bouncing slightly from each step and sway of her sinful hips. Detective Wilde placed a cigarette in between his lips, and snapped against his silver lighter.

Judy Hopps's ears sprang up from the noise and whirled around. Snatching it from his mouth. He raised a brow when she held his last cigarette in the air, holding it in between her two fingers.

"There is absolutely no smoking in this house." She said sternly and set the cigarette down on a nearby tabletop.

Detective Wilde sniffed. "It helps me think."

The bunny flicked her head back, letting out a scoff as she turned away from him. "You mean it makes you intolerable."

Detective WIlde slid his paws into his coat pockets. "That's how all you bunnies think." He leaned towards her with a smirk. "Why don't you try it out, Doll? It would be good for you to sin a little." He chuckled, making her huff irritably at him. She turned away from him, with her pink nose in the air. He saw her puff her cheeks and scoff at the idea. She walked off, quicker than she was before. He followed her to a small office space. He noticed how the large mahogany desk was clean of papers but full of dust, as if no one had entered the room. The large book cases were filled with family albums and fairy tale bedtime stories. They too, were also covered in dust. The only thing that was misplaced was a crooked frame that held a watercolor painting of a serene meadow, tossed aside on the floor. In a wall, was a metal safe, it was as big as a cardboard box. Enough of a size to keep priceless jewels in.

"Tell me what happened." Detective Wilde asked, diving straight into it. He slid his paw inside the empty safe, sweeping up the excess dust. He rubbed it between his fingers.

"I was alone in the house, it was during the middle of the night but my family were away at a Festival here in Bunny Burrow."

Detective Wilde brow furrowed. "Why didn't you go with them?"

Judy leaned her shoulder against the wall, facing him when she answer. "I have a job in Zootopia that I...go to time to time, I was tired and I came home late. I wanted to get some sleep." Her ears lowered. "I heard a crash, and I ran in here to find the thief with all the jewels stuffed in a bag."

"Did you see what type of animal it was?"

She shook her head. "It was too dark, the thief ran out through this window." She said as she walked over to a lone window behind the desk. He noticed that there was a piece of wood in between the the bottom frame. "This window could be open from the outside, which is why, I took precaution. It was the same day I went to you."

"What type of jewels they were?"

"Rubies, all rubies."

That made him rub his chin. That was the one thing that connected the thief to the last robbery in the museum. Taking a single ruby and moving on to rubies. The thief must have been smart to break in the safe and figuring out the combination. With a stethoscope and a little bit of patience, it must have taken less than an hour. His tongue went dry and he was in need of a drink. He would have to settle for water, since Judy told him she carries no liquor. It came to him with no surprise. The cool relief of the water cleared him of his headache and his thirst. Judy Hopps sat on her counter top, her sculpted legs placed over each other. Her dress dangerously showing off her hips. He watched carefully as his eyes slowly went up to her lips. She sipped at her hot tea and gently blew against it. The warm steam danced and kissed her lips before she took another drink.

"Are you sure you do not want any tea? Detective Wilde?" She asked softly.

He sniffed when he looked down at his empty glass. "Doesn't' suit me, Doll."

Her ear sprang up and she calmly placed her cup down on her lap. "I thought I told you not to call me that."

"Well get used to it, or do you prefer me to call you Carrots?" He smirked, his canines gleaming. She jumped down from the counter top when she set her cup aside. Her dress whirled like a ballerina ending her dance when she faced him with a scowl.

"I prefer neither, Detective Wilde."

She took a step towards him and took his glass cup away. "Is there anything else?"

He tipped his hat at her when he stood up. "Thanks for the drink. That will be all for now." There was a few places he needed to scout. If he will have any luck into finding the Ruby Thief he would have to go to the first scene of the crime. He paused when he felt a small tug on his sleeve. His whiskers twitched when he saw Judy's small paw.

He saw her lower lip quiver at him when she spoke.

"Mr. Wilde, please find this animal." She asked gently. "Those jewels, were suppose to help my family keep our farm. We will soon lose it and without the jewels...we will lose our home."

Detective Wilde snorted and jerked his arm away. "Listen, Doll." he said with a slight roll of the tongue. "I ain't makin' any promises I can't keep. So save your voice, if I'll find them, I'll find them. If I won't-" He shrugged making her widen her eyes at him in disbelief. She wrenched herself away from him.

"What made you this way?" She demanded suddenly. "I come to you, desperate and you were nothing but cold to me in the very beginning! What have I ever done to you?"

He chuckled at her again and crossed his arms. "I'll make it simple for you. The reason you came to me, was because I'm sly. Is that right? Because I'm crafty?" Her nose twitched when he continued. "Because I'm a fox? The police didn't want to help you because they see you as a naive little bunny, they must have thought you made it up, and that perhaps you misplaced them?" He placed his paw on his chest. "Sly Fox." His paw moved to her. "Dumb Bunny."

"Don't you dare say that to me." She growled.

"Be as angry as you want, Doll. It's the truth, that's how you see me and that's what I see in you. I'm doing this to get paid, Sweetheart. I don't care about you, your family, or this little farm of yours. Just let me do my job, hmm?"

Her eyes narrowed hatefully, making him lift his chin up. "Fine." She growled. He smiled and walked away, heading out the door. He went over to his car, ready to leave The BunnyBurrows and head back into the smog filled city of Zootopia. His eyes caught a glimpse of the young bunny, Benjamin. Hiding in the cornfield, staring at him when he began to drive away. Detective Wilde lifted his eyes up to his rear-view mirror to see Judy Hopps, step outside on the porch, with his cigarette in between her lips.
