"Oh hey, Johnny, what's up?" Mark replied as Johnny approached him and patted him on the back.

"Psst, Nick," Judy whispered, trying to get Nick's attention. It wasn't working; over the past few years Nick's hearing had slowly begun to degrade, so if you were to attempt to talk to him from beyond a distance of seven or eight feet he would start to struggle to hear you. After a few more vain attempts to catch her husband's attention Judy promptly threw one of the Nordstrom bags at his head, smacking him square in the back of it.

"Ow!" Nick tried to stifle the yell as to not attract the attention of Johnny and Mark. He turned to Judy, "What?!"

Judy took a quick glance and saw the eccentric otter starting to look. Quickly she grabbed two bags and said "Which one do you think brings out my eyes?"

"The fushia one." Nick answered and began to turn back to the shelf of mis-cut jeans he was looking at. Judy grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him closer.

"It's not about the bag, is it?"

Judy tilted her head at Johnny and Mark, who were casually having a conversation and throwing a football to each other, a three foot distance set between them. Occasionally Johnny would laugh in his accent, saying something completely unrelated out of the blue.

"What about them?"

"That guy Johnny's with," Judy pointed out, "he seems strange, but I can't seem to put my finger on why."

"Well, we need to ask Johnny if he's sold any Nordstrom bags lately, no? Couldn't hurt to see what happens." Nick turned to face the otter, "Hey, Johnny! We have a question for you!"

"Of course!" Johnny said as he turned towards the police officers, "How can I help you?"

Judy slowly revealed her badge, "We're with the Zootopia Police Department. We're on an investigation and we think one of the suspects bought a bag from you."

"I would love to help! Hahaha!" Johnny said rather quickly, but in an earnest way, "I just want to thank you for keeping us all safe, important job!"

"Great," Nick said, donning the Aviator shades that had become a part of his schtick as a ZPD officer, "we don't have much of the bag left, but we know it was a Nordstrom and that it was a beige color."

"Hahaha! What a story!" Johnny paused, "My best friend Mark bought one for his girlfriend, probably had some girl trouble - you know how that is?"

"Is that so?" Judy said, diverting her attention to the rabbit hanging out by the counter of the store, "Hey Mark!"

Mark took a look at Judy, but did not acknowledge her. She was somewhat hurt by this.

"Let me try." Nick said, walking up to Mark. Immediately Mark noticed him, and suddenly looked very nervous when he finally noticed the bag in Judy's paws.

"See you, Johnny!" Mark yelled, bolting out the door. Judy and Nick immediately ran off after him.

"Officer Hopps, we have a suspect! No backup required yet!" Judy yelled into her radio hooked to her uniform as she and her husband pursued the rabbit throughout the streets of the main city square.

Johnny looked at the sudden departure of both his friend and the police officers he was so proud of as a member of Zootopia's society and shook his head. "Nordstrom, that's life." he said, chucking to himself as he made sure the store counters were clean.
