Chapter 1
"There. Up ahead."
Three police cars rounded a corner into a narrow alley of New York City, sirens piercing the otherwise silent night. They came to a stop in front of a shadowy mass lying motionless in the road, and several men in blue suits with handguns raised quickly exited their vehicles.
"That's a body right there!" said one of them as they approached. He started to rush forward. But didn't make it far before being tackled by Anthony Hargrove.
"Stop!"
A referee blew his whistle while an officer wearing sunglasses approached. "Let me handle this," he said.
The police officer wrestled with Anthony as the man with the sunglasses knelt beside the body. It was facing away from him. He rolled it over, and as he did so, several of the men gasped. One let his lunch loose on the floor.
"Got 'em right between the eyes," he muttered, A nearby police officer asked "WTF are you talking about? He doesn't have any eyes anymore." , "Shut up and gimme a Tool kit," said the man in the sunglasses, and one of the police officers asked "QT or GWT?" The man quickly swung around and ♥♥♥♥♥ him. Telling the officer "you know which one." The officer, with a red mark across his face, handed him a small box with the name "Wexler" scrawled on it in black marker. He pulled out a pair of thin metal tongs and then beckoned two of the other police officers. "Hold the skin apart while I try to extract the bullet," he said. One of the two police officers questioned, "What are you talking about? There's no skin to hold apart." The man just pulled out his pistol and shot the officer in the head, right between the eyes. The officer that lived just dropped to his knees and pretended to hold some skin apart, looking away from the gore oozing out of the blown cap in disgust. The man with the tongs just poked the ground where the victim's head lay for about a minute, causing a grotesque sound.
"Good God, Sam," said the police officers holding the skin apart. "Make it fast or I'm gonna vomit!"
"Jimmy," said Sam, raising his sunglasses, "I got to take you to a slaughterhouse one day." He then smirked, lowered his glasses, and went back to work. Jimmy muttered "but I don't play Warcraft anymore....."
Jimmy then proceeded to scowl, then made faces at Sam while he wasn't looking. Sam, meanwhile, without looking back at Jimmy, said "Quit it or you're going to end up like Bill." . The other officers winced. Sam held up a burnt piece of rock and then turned it around in the tongs. "Like I thought," he said. "Spartan Laser."
At that moment, something else caught Sam's attention. He leaned over the body and then pointed towards a spot on the pavement.
"Oh my," said a female police officer, drawing her hand towards her mouth. Lying next to the dead man's body was a smiley face roughly five inches in diameter drawn in piss.
Sam stood up slowly, and not taking his eyes off the dead body, said, "It's him."
"Morning Dave."
"Morning Dad."
Sam Wexler was sitting at his old wooden kitchen table enjoying an egg and bacon sandwich on an English muffin. "Where you going?" he asked his son, who quickly grabbed a bag off the kitchen counter.
"To school."
"But your first class isn't for another two hours! And did you eat any breakfast?"
Dave grimaced. "No, Dad, but I'm fine."
San whipped out a shotgun "Eat or Die. It's your choice."
Dave sighed "Fine. You douchebag."
Sam smiled, "Here, I'll make you an egg sandwich.…what the heck are you doing anyway, going to make out with your girlfriend or something?" he teased.
Dave turned at the doorway and smiled. "Yeah, you can quit with those jokes dad, You know I'm homosexual." he said, walking back to the kitchen and sitting in an empty wooden chair matching the table. There was a minute of silence as his father cooked. Dave, lacking anything better to do, looked around the room, at the white tile floors, the wooden kitchen counter which was shaped like two balls, the white walls, the fluorescent lights, the windows - it was a sunny day and the neighbors' children were playing TF2 in their yard. Only with real grenades and sandviches. A pleasant sight.
"So how's school been?" asked Sam. "You leave so early and you come home so late and I hardly ever get to talk to you anymore."
"Well, you know, I'm pretty busy--"
"Yeah yeah yeah, and you have a life and you're all grown up and yadda yadda yadda. I get that. But you didn't answer the question." Sam was in a good mood, and was smiling as he put the English muffin in the toaster oven.
Dave thought for a moment. "Well, it's Columbia. What do you expect? The professors are great, the faculty is great, everything's great."
"Well, the coffee and drugs suck, that's for sure."
Dave grinned. "Oh come on, Dad! You know I quit taking heroin....well...."
"Never," offered Sam, and they both laughed. "Ah, well, any classes in particular you like?"
"Yeah…I really like my Forensic Science course. The professor's great…I think he knows you, actually. Chiess Burger ring a bell?"
"Chiess Burge-ow!" Sam rapidly drew his hand away from the pan in which he was making the eggs. "Sunnuva....... Sorry, just burned myself." Sam said as his entire body lit on fire.
"Yeah....... you all right?" asked Dave.
"Yeah, just fine. Why do you ask?"
"Uh.....nothing." said Dave. "nothing."
Sam got off the subway at 103rd Street on the west side of Manhattan. He climbed up the staircase to street level, paused, adjusted his trademark sunglasses, and then started to sing a Mike Posner song. He was soon warned of the copyright and a law enforcement official told him "sing that gay song again and you get sued."
Sam then turned and walked down Broadway. Sam was in his late forties but looked significantly younger, and occasionally would joke that when you move to the city, you stop aging. He was a good-humored man outside of work, but when he was working he was as serious as a man could ever be. He was white, about six feet tall, had blue eyes and brown hair, and was at a healthy weight, as of his last visit to his physician. He was also part of a gang that killed black people. Which is why most people in Manhattan avoid him.
He smiled to himself as he rounded the corner of Broadway and 100th, and soon he reached his destination, 151 100th Street, the 24th Precinct of the New York Police Department. Sam was a detective for the NYPD, a detective who had a very interesting case on his hands. Briefcase in hand, he entered the building. He took off his coat and hung it on a hanger in a short corridor between the entrance and the dead body of another man who hung himself. He then pushed on through the second door and was instantly met by the sound of rapid typing and the smell of coffee. "Ah," he said, "coffee that's not from Columbia." He turned right and walked towards a block of cubicles, patting several of his coworkers on the back (a few on the ♥♥♥) as he passed and occasionally exchanging greetings. Finally, he reached his cubicle, equipped with a desk, chair with wheels, pens, pencils, paper, a Macintosh which he had bought himself since the police department would only pay for PCs, a mouse, and a keyboard. He sat down and turned on his computer.
"Morning Sam."
Sam turned to see Jimmy Sanborn daggering a female office worker . Jimmy was another detective in the department and a good friend of Sam's, He was also perverted in the sense that he always assaults a female worker in the office, but no one really cared to stop him. "Morning," the latter replied. "Got any information on the victim from last night?"
"Yeah, name's George W. Patton. A 63-year old man who lived near the scene of the crime. Got banned from Columbia for a classified case. This is his apartment address and I also got you the address of his family's residence." Jimmy gave Sam a sheet of paper.
"Nice work," Sam said. "All right, go tell the boss that I'm heading out to snoop around."
"Got it," Jimmy said, turning away from the cubicle.
Sam looked at the paper for a moment, On which said "Steve Job owns a PC." then kicked his chair back. "Hey Jimmy!" he called.
"Yep?"
"Very funny, I'm going to kill you while you sleep, Okay?"
"Sure thing."
"Right, thanks!" Sam stood up and grabbed his briefcase. Time to try and make sense of everything.
CAN'T BEAT MY, CAN'T BEAT MY, NO THEY CAN'T BEAT MY BICYCLE.
Chapter 2
Here were the facts. Seven headshots had been committed by an unidentified sniper who was only linked to all seven murders by his two signatures: his preference for head-exploding bullets and taste for drawing smiley faces next to the dead bodies using his own piss. None of the murders had witnesses, so the law officials were all stumped, even though they were pretty sure it wasn't American. It was just the kind of case Sam got erections from. He had not had a case as interesting as this one since the one that put him on the map several years prior, in which he solved a complex mystery involving one black Scottish cyclops and twelve murdered. But enough of old glory. Sam had a job to do. He picked up his coffee and took a sip. Mmm…nothing like Cuban Coffee.
He parked his clown car on the side of 666th street next to an apartment building about four stories high. He climbed up a staircase to the third floor, then walked down a hallway to a door labeled "3:CB" Sam noted that the building was fairly old and decrepit. He pulled a giant silver key that Jimmy had given him and whacked the door with it. The door immediately disintegrated, and Sam stepped inside. The room was musty and covered in a layer of dust. It was a small apartment, but certainly adequate for one person. Sam was not optimistic about his search; the last six victims turned up nothing. Nevertheless, he did a thorough search of the room, from the kitchen counter to under the burning barrel in the corner. Once again, his search turned up nothing. Disappointed but not surprised, he turned to leave when something caught his eye. The ceiling was made of a soft cowpie-like tile, and one of the tiles was particularly smelly. He took a chair and stood on it, then pulled the tile shoved his hand deep in it. With it came chunks and pieces of things that would never wash out of his clothes. Ah, thought Sam, I guess this is what they call getting your hands dirty (And before I continue, shut up Dennis.), disgusted. Now we're getting somewhere. He immediately left the room and returned to his police car. He picked up a walkie-talkie like device connected to the radio.
"Jimmy," he said. "This is Sam. Do you read me? Over."
A yawn, then, "Yep, Sam, loud and clear."
"All right, classify the case as a conspiracy case. I found a stash of old Godzilla, King Kong, and Titanic movies. This might be some major DVD deal gone bad or something. I'm going to question the family now."
"All right, Sam, I have to confess. I'm out."
"Out what?"
"Well........you know."
".............Never speak of this again. Please."
Thirty minutes later, Sam was in the company of Mrs. Patton. The two were sitting in her first-floor apartment in a living room on two plastic chairs facing each other.
"I understand what you're going through," said Sam, "but I need you to answer a few questions for me so I can understand what's going on. Will you cooperate?"
Mrs. Patton, a woman of perhaps eighty years of age, was senile and was speaking quite uncontrollably, and it was hard to make out the "yes" through the horse neighs.
"Good."
Sam flicks out a lighter, lights it out in front of the senile woman, and repeats-
"What did you see, old mam?"
Mrs. Patton grabbed a pillow and held it close. "...G...Gojira.........Gojira.....................Gojira!"
"Cool.Can you sign the names of the actors in the movie on this notepad" Sam asked politely.
"Yes…of course, officer…."
Mrs. Patton took the notepad and pen that Sam offered her and wrote down five names and then decorated the notes with more chicken spit.
"Mrs. Patton…Luke's father…"
"Died *BAWWWWK* inside the second *BAWWWWKKKSPOILER* Death Star *SPOILERBAWWWWWKK*," replied Mrs. Patton, clucking even more uncontrollably. Sam felt bad for making her answer so many obvious questions, but he had to do what he had to do.
"I'm sorry," said Sam sincerely. "Only a few more questions and I'll be out of your way. As far as you're aware, George was not involved in any illegal activities, correct?"
But at that moment, a man jumped out a window of the apartment, and immediately said "Yo, great story and all, and I'ma let you finish, but I'm gonna raep this old beotch, mmkay? "while tryin' to raep Mrs. Patton. Sam jumped out of his seat and ran to the window only to see a vague figure disappear around a corner. He pressed a button on a gadget in his pocket, activating the springs in his heels while forcing him to shout "GO GO GADGET LEGS.", and then jumped through the broken window and started hopping. He went around the corner, but the shooter was nowhere in sight.
"Dangit," Sam said. "Missed him."
"He must have been an idiot and a rapist, I think. That's all I could make out."
Sam was back at the police station explaining what had happened to his boss, Dan Hibiki. Sam was not happy. He had a great opportunity and he blew it. Sigh.
"Well, I still think I would have pwns that Rapist if you had taught me the Saikyō-ryū," said Sam. "It's the awesomest style in the world, which is why you're my favorite Street Fighter character."
"Awesomest in the world?" Dan nearly jumped out of his seat. "So I'm even too awesome for this world, am I? Space! The final frontier!"
"You can't travel to space now, Dan. Considering how big space is? You'd be lucky if your Gadouken could destroy a Covenant Dropship from a long distance away."
Dan sighed. Sam was right and he knew it.
"All right. But I can't stay here. What if an assassin hears word my awesomness and tries to murder me before I can reach space?"
"We expected you'd say that. We don't care, but we did something about that anyways. Johnson's going to be on a 12-hour watch of you, and I'm gonna keep rotating guys into that position whenever I can."
Dan shook his head. He didn't like it. "All right. I'll stay here, but you'd better be sure nothing happens to me. I want to be able to escape to space if I needed to." He waved his hand to signal Sam to leave his office. As Sam walked to his cubicle, Jimmy came up to him.
"Hey Sam!" he said. "What happened man?"
"Our culprit tried to raep the witness while I was questioning her." He took out his notepad and ripped off the front page. "Here. Look up these guys. They're terrible actors. I'm guessing that you'll find at least one of them linked to an illegal conspiracy scheme of some kind. Look into it and get back to me. I'm going home."
"Got it," said Jimmy, taking the paper and running off. Sam then grabbed his briefcase from his cubicle and went home.
