Rocket woke up in an unknown located blinded by the light as his vision was coming back to him, the only thing he knew was he was on his knees and his hands and legs were tied.

"Well well well, look what they pulled out of the trash" A voice said slyly, Rocket knew who it was instantly.

"What the fuck do you want with me Nick?" Rocket replied.

"Oh, did I say you could speak?" Nick said coldly, picking something up off the ground.

Rocket's eyes darted to the object, his eyes now adjusted to the light, and those same orbs widened with fear as he saw what it was, a metal rod. Nick placed his paw on the raccoon's shoulder.

"Now. We can't have you killing my clients now can we." the fox lifted Rocket to his feet but then slammed the rod in his left knee.

Rocket screamed and fell to the ground in pain, he had tears in his eyes and Nick started laughing, "You don't remember?"

Rocket hesitated because he knew exactly what he meant but did end up mustering up, "Why me? others have (cough) killed more than I have"

Nick didn't respond with words only with his metal object, again to his left leg. Rocket again screaming to the point that it burned his throat. 

"Yo boss! "a voice said, Nick spun around and grumbled at something Rocket couldn't hear.

Then Rocket could hear the sound of a police car and the sound of gunshots.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" Nick was pissed prompting the fox to then grab Rocket's head and kick it.

Rocket now laid limp on the ground, he winced seeing his completely destroyed left leg with blood pouring out of it. He followed the fox with his eyes and that same bunny came through with 3 others to the place he was being kept.

"ZPD! Put down your weapons!"

Shots fired in every direction as more and more officers came in, his gang surrendered (or died) almost immediately. Nick snuck out the back door, unseen by the officers. 

"Hey! We need a medic over here.." The bunny's voice fading as Rocket passed out due to the pain.

(48 hours later)

Rocket laid in a hospital bed, cast around his left leg. Quickly he noticed the bunny was sitting a his side.

"What? Why are you here?" Rocket asked, now regretting it as it sounded like he was pissed, well more than he was because of the wearing off of the pills.

"Wow, no introduction? I'm Judy by the way," the bunny replied coldly.

"Ok, Judy but you didn't answer me, why?" Rocket now somewhat annoyed for no apparent reason.

"Hey man I'm trying to comfort you here, but anyways I thought I'd come check on you because you were the only alive witness that will talk to us about what just happened." Judy replied as she got up out of her seat, pulling a notepad and pen out of her backpack.

Rocket grasped the situation, then relaxed. "What do you want me to say, I'm a bounty hunter, I killed a person's client and the employer kidnapped me and turned my leg into his own personal pinata?"

Judy wrote some things down on a notepad and then sat back down in her chair. "Well yeah, you said exactly what I wanted thanks I guess," Judy shot a playful glare at Rocket.

Rocket smiled and asked, "So, how long have you been a cop?" Trying to make conversation, facepalming mentally at how absurd his conversation starter sounded.

Judy pretended not to hear him as she kept writing on her note pad, "What?"

Rocket sighed and looked at the ceiling for a while. Judy looked up from her paper and stared at Rocket for a few minutes, until he found her gaze and tilted his head, confused.

Judy looked away and blushed, hard, the red broke through the fur and Rocket noticed, he chuckled.

"Got the hots for someone in here?" Rocket teased

Judy didn't answer and kept to her notepad. The room was silent for a few minutes until Judy's phone rang and broke the silence. She answered and it was her chief, Bogo, calling her back to the station.

"Hey, I gotta go, see you later I guess," Judy threw that in the air, not expecting a reply.

Rocket chuckled, "Look, you really need that excuse to see me?"

Judy just blushed, luckily it wasn't visible this time, she again, didn't reply and left the room. 

(3 hours later in Judy's bedroom)

Judy flopped on her bed mind still on the conversation at the hospital.

"Why... why" her mind raced wondering why she was stuck on that, again she kept asking herself the same question in her head. She jolted up as her phone rang again, "Fuck"

She didn't recognize the number but for some reason, she answered anyways.

"Hey, um, you dropped your stuff," That voice, she knew that voice

"Rocket?" She asked.

""Yeah, still burned on me huh?" Rocket asked with no reply. "Anyways, I don't got enough money on me to get home, this is gonna sound like an odd question but can I crash at your place?"

"What? I mean we've only know each other for... you know what sure," she slammed her fist on her forehead at the quick switch of her opinion.

"Wow, I mean, I didn't expect anything but thanks, you sure?" Rocket asked

Judy sighed, "Fine, I live on Kingston road, not far from the hospital, it's the blue house"

"Ok I'll be there" Rocket replied "I promise I won't try anything if that's what your thinking."

Judy blushed hard but chuckled. As she hung up she got some blankets and pillows and placed them on the couch neatly. After that she paced around the house until she heard a car pull up, it was in fact, Rocket.

(A/N: Sorry Judy's decision to let him stay over was kinda odd, but I'll explain why she did later)
