Episode 2: The Strange Man

                It was a cold dark night at the OT police station, where Officers Gevock and Uzzbuzz are filling out paperwork. Officer Bluji is patrolling the OT area right now to watch for the vandals that normally come out at night. The OT police force has been on a busy schedule for a while now after two officers resigned from the force. Gevock and Uzzbuzz’s current job at night is to look at all the police reports and act accordingly on what to do about them and the amount of paperwork that they have to do grows by the day. That’s all boring stuff though. While filling out their paperwork, a boy frantically rushes inside the office crying. Officer Uzzbuzz gets up to confront the boy rushing towards him. It was NinjaChameleon.

“HELP! HELP!” Ninja screamed rushing towards Uzz.

“What’s wrong?” Uzz said, confused as Gevock just continues with his paperwork.

“He…He had me strapped to a table, with a bunch of knives and…and a gun,” Ninja said frantically.

“Who! Who did that to you?” Uzzbuzz asked?

“It-it-it was Adv0! He’s going to kill me!” Ninja exclaimed with fear.

Uzzbuzz holds him in his arms and says, “Don’t worry, everything is going to be ok. Adv0catus isn’t going to hurt you.”

                Later that night. Adv0catus was arrested and Ruudi was called that same night to defend him in court. The next day, Ruudi arrives at the police station where he’ll talk to his client about the recent events. Before entering, two detectives encounter Ruudi and stop him.

“Ah, it’s Ruudiluca! I am detective Holy and this is my partner detective Ilneutrino,” Holy says as he flashes his badge.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Ilneutrino said, “You should really fix your hair though, it’s bothering me.”

“Hello, is this about the Ninja Chameleon case?” Ruudi asked out of curiosity.

“Actually, we are currently investigating it,” Holy responded.

“Do you think he did it?” Ruudi kindly asked.

“Ha, I would say yes, but Holy thinks Ninja is bluffing so we are going to figure out how he made this up,” Ilneutrino said, giggling.

“Well, I have to go to court tomorrow. Do you think you can prove his innocents before then?” Ruudi asked nervously.

“Just stall them if we don’t,” Holy said, “I met with the prosecutor and I know he’s going to be ruthless towards your client,” Holy explained to Ruudi.

“Yea, maybe if you fixed up your hair and learned how to dress properly, the judge might allow you to stall for a bit,” Ilneutrino butted in.

“Ok, thanks guys and good luck!” Ruudi said with excitement as the detective duo walked away.

                Ruudi walked inside where he was greeted by Officer Uzzbuzz. He escorts him down the hall towards to room Adv0catus was in. Uzzbuzz slowly opens the door as Ruudi sees an emotionless Adv0, sitting at the table. Ruudiluca steps in with his brief case and gives Uzzbuzz the nod to shut the door. He sits across the table from Adv0 and pulls out his paperwork ready to take notes. Adv0 just stares and finally opens his mouth.

“You know he is just making this up right?” Adv0 said to Ruudi.

“I know, but the judge, jury and officers don’t know that now do they?” Ruudi said.

“Why in the hell would I do that?” Adv0 said with a hint of anger, “I’ve been wanting the leave the city for years now. I don’t want to be in this shithole part of town.”

“Alright, so you think he’s making it up?” Ruudi asked.

“Of course, he will make anything up just to throw someone under the bus,” Adv0 snapped at Ruudi.

“Well then, I don’t have anything to prove your innocence yet,” Ruudi said with a bit of a stutter.

“What do you mean, you don’t have anything? You’re my lawyer,” Adv0 said.

“Well, there are some detectives working on proving your innocence. Worst case scenario, we stall,” Ruudi explained to Adv0 as he rolled his eyes.

“Fine, well do it this way I guess,” Adv0 said in a monotone voice. “Can you go now?”

“Fair enough,” Ruudi said and quietly left the room and headed home.

 

                Meanwhile, at Mao’s Diner, detectives Holy and Ilneutrino are eating their meals and discuss the case. There wasn’t a whole lot of people there being the evening. Holy is looking at his notebook where he has written some notes while Ilneutrino pokes around with her food.

“The food isn’t bad,” Holy laughs while looking at Ilneutrino.

“But these fries are cold, and this chicken has too much flavor,” Ilneutrino says in disgust.

Holy grabs a fry from Ilneutrino’s place, “It tastes fine.”

“Ugh,” Ilneutrino grunted, “why are we here anyways?”

“Because I’m hungry and this is my favorite diner,” Holy explained.

“Fine,” Ilneutrino said, as she was cutting her chicken, “so you really think Ninja is lying huh?”

“Ninja is known to be the little boy who cries wolf,” Holy said shuffling through his notes, “A boy also known to get into trouble.”

“Ok, but we can’t just go out on a hunch like that,” Ilneutrino said.

“Yea, I shouldn’t be going out on hunches like you do on fashion,” Holy said with a smirk.

                Holy looks out the window and across the street in the alleyway he sees a mysterious dark figure standing there. His white eyes just staring at him as Holy looks at his. Holy takes a quick bite out of his cheeseburger and looks at the window to see those white eyes disappear. Holy finishes eating his food as the owner approaches him.

“Then yet again he may just be a little misguided,” Holy said and shrugged as Maowee approached him.

“Hi Holy and friend!” Maowee said in excitement, “Did you guys enjoy your meal?”

“No it was terrible just like your hair,” Ilneutrino answered.

“Just ignore her she’s so critical about everything,” Holy explained, “Your food is nice as always!”

“I know!” Maowee said, giving Ilneutrino a dirty look, “Anyways, do you want your free milkshake for today?”

“YAS Please!” Holy shouted in excitement and Maowee walks away.

“Wait, you came here just to get a free milkshake?” Ilneutrino asked angrily.

“Ya, I’m a loyal customer who shows up all the time!” Holy said, smiling as Maowee returns with his milkshake and the bill.

“Here you go,” Maowee says and gives Holy the milkshake and a wink.

“I don’t get one?” Ilneutrino asked in confusion.

“I don’t like your face enough,” Maowee said and leaves.

“UGHHHHH! So what are we going to do after this?” Ilneutrino asked out of curiosity.

Holy sips on his milkshake and replies, “Well we have to find a guy who has wrote several stories on the account of the Strange Man. Ninja probably made this up on the account of one of his stories.”

Ilneutrino nods and replies, “So where do we find him?”

“He actually lives in the city, I have his address we can go there tomorrow.”

“Yea, but isn’t the trial tomorrow for Adv0catus? Not that I care if he goes to jail or anything.”

“Ruudiluca is one of the best lawyers out there, I’m sure he’ll take my advice and stall if he has too.”

                Holy finishes his milkshake and goes to pay for the bill as Ilneutrino heads out to the squad car. After paying, Holy looks out the window one last time to see the dark figure appear in the alleyway again. Then a truck passes by with the dark figure disappearing in front of him. Holy gets in the squad car where they head off to the police station to take their separate ways.

                The next day, Ruudiluca wakes up and prepares to head to the courthouse to defend his client to the best of his ability. He drives up to the courthouse with Ricesnot who gives him a peck on the cheek before sitting down. Ruudiluca doesn’t see the two detectives anywhere, but sees Adv0catus in position looking lifeless as ever. Across from him, he sees the prosecutor, Ubermorgen and Ninjachameleon who is frightened that he has to even be in the same room as Adv0. The jury prepares to sit in their seats. Before they could, the judge with a mouse with a magician hat on her shoulder walks in and Officer Gevock tells everybody to rise. Adv0 looks over to Ruudi and quietly whispers.

“We are screwed.”

“Why is that?” Ruudi whispered back.

“That judge hates me,” Adv0 whispers back as the judge tells everybody to be seated.

                The court starts out with Uber preaching out his opening statement. He describes how sick of a man Adv0 is for the acts (that he didn’t do) that he has done to Ninja. Then he talks about how bad this deed was in the eyes of God, and how deep in Hell Adv0 is going to be in. Adv0 and Ruudiluca stare at each other, not believing the crazy stuff coming out of Uber’s mouth. After Uber ends his preachy speech, he calls up NinjaChameleon to the stand.

“Do you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth SO HELP ME GOD!” Uber asked Ninja.

“Y-y-yes Uber,” stuttered Ninja.

“So can you tell us what happened the night Adv0 tortured you?” Uber asked Ninja.

“Well it was dark and I was just walking by and a dark figure showed up and snatched me,” Ninja said in a frightened voice.

“And what happened next? What did you see?” Uber asked Ninja again in a calm voice.

“Well, all a sudden I was in a room strapped to a table,” Ninja explains, “Then there…..there was all swords of knives and weapons everywhere on the walls and a lamp over my head.”

“And then?”

“One of the arm straps was loose. I broke free and ran to the OT police station as fast as I can.”

“No further questions.”

                Ubermorgen walks back to his spot as Ruudiluca walks forward to cross examine him. Ninja was sweating bullets as Ruudi adjusts his tie before asking a few more questions.

“So this dark figure, you know it was Adv0catus?”

“Yes, who else would it be?”

“How do you know it was him?”

“He-he didn’t speak much, but I know him well enough that he would do such a thing.”

“So you didn’t exactly see his face?”

“N-n-no I didn’t.”

“Your honor and the jury. Please take note that Ninja did NOT specifically see Adv0catus. He just believes it was him on what he thinks!”

NinjaChameleon starts crying, “Why do you say that? It has to be Adv0. Why would you defend a sick bastard like him?”

“No further questions.” Ruudi said to quickly get Ninja down from the stand. He looks at Adv0 who gives a chuckle.

                Ubermorgen walks back up and calls Adv0 to the stand. Adv0 looks at Ruudi who gives him the nod and walks up next to the judge. The judge gives Adv0 a glare as Adv0 rolls his eyes.

“Do you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth SO HELP ME GOD!” Uber said.

“Screw off,” Adv0 said.

Uber gets riled and says, “So we know you did those terrible things to Ninja Adv0catus.”

“No I didn’t.”

“You know lying is a sin right?”

“Uber, the only reason why you are persecuting me is because you want me to go to jail, and you’re using Ninja to help with that.”

“Uh huh, you’re an author right?”

Adv0 pauses then answers, “Why yes I am.”

“And what do you write about in your stories?”

Adv0 sighs and says, “Dark stories such as rape, murder, kidnapping, and abuse.”

“Ahhh! So have you thought about acting out those sick fantasies that you….write down on a piece of paper?”

“Heh, based on how Ninja described it you might be thinking of a different fairy tale.”

“Why do you lie? You were once an OT officer correct?”

“OBJECTION!” Shouted Ruudilcua and the judge looks at him.

The judge then turns her head towards Uber and says, “This better be connected to the case Uber.”

“Fair enough, no further questions,” Uber said and returns to his spot.

                Ruudiluca steps up to ask Adv0 some questions to prove his innocence. The problem is that there is nothing to ask him, but things are looking bleak for Adv0. Then Ruudi remembered Holy’s advice. He needs to stall and wait for Holy and Ilneutrino to come back. Ruudi looks at Adv0 and he looks at him. Ruudi brushes his hair and begins to ask him a lot of questions.

                In another part of the city, Holy and Ilneutrino walk up to a bookstore where they are to meet the author of the “Strange Man Chronicles”, Zhs0. Before entering, a strange man walked passed by the two detectives and tipped his fedora towards Ilneutrino. Ilneutrino looks at the strange man who takes the fedora off of his head and throws it at Holy like a Frisbee. Ilneutrino shouts at Holy and pushes him out of the path of the razor sharp fedora. The fedora returns back to the strange man and he sees the two looking at him. The strange man takes off while Holy and Ilneutrino follows. The two detectives chase after the strange man as he pushes people out of his way and runs into an alley. Holy splits off from Ilneutrino as she follows the strange man into the alley. The strange man throws a trashcan at Ilneutrnio and she dodges the speeding metal can. The strange man then sees a large fence diving the alley. Thinking he was trapped Ilneutrino pulls out her gun and points it at the man. The man with his super human strength jumps at the fence and climbs over it while Ilneutrino stops. The strongman who is passed the fence glares at Ilneutrino and catches a quick breath before taken off again. Ilneutrino looks as the strange man runs from the alley where he is then tackled down to the ground unexpectedly by Holy. Holy then wrestles the man down and takes off his mask.

“Zhs0?” Holy said in shock as Zhs0 looked into his eyes.

“Get off me!” Zhs0 said as he pushes Holy off and they both stand up.

“So this man is the strange man?” Ilneutrino asked after climbing over the fence.

“No, I am not the strange man,” Zhs0 said, “However he is real. Don’t be fooled by that.”

“You write the stories on his accounts. They are quite interesting to read.” Holy said in excitement.

“So why did you tackle me down then?” asked Zhs0.

                Holy and Ilneutrino explain the situation and the three head off to the courtroom. They enter to see an angry judge and Ubermorgen as Ricesnot is at the stand.

“And who’s my pookie pookie bear? Hmm?” Ruudiluca asks Ricesnot in a playful manner.

“You areeee,” Ricesnot replies and giggles.

“No further questions,” Ruudi said smiling and blows a kiss at Ricesnot. Uber walks up to cross examine her.

“So you know looking at porn is a sin in the eyes of God right?” Uber asks in an angry manner.

“OBJECTION!” Ruudiluca shouts, “Uber is asking-“

“No no I got this,” Ricesnot interrupts, “Screw off Uber, I don’t care what you or your god thinks ok.”

“Order, Order! This is getting ridiculous. Ruudiluca if you have no other serious witnesses left I will have to charge you for holding up the court,” The judge snapped at Ruudiluca.

                Ruudiluca is sweating as he knows his stall time is up. He turns around to see Holy and Ilneutrino return with Zhs0. He smiled and looked at the judge and said, “Your honor I have one more witness. I call Zhs0 to the stand.”

Zhs0 comes up to the stand.

“Do you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you Greg?” Ruudi asked.

“Yea whatever,” Zhs0 answered.

“Ok, so what is your occupation?”

“I am an author. You may have heard of my famous work, “The Strange Man Chronicles”

“So the story is about a fictional character who puts people in strange tasks is that correct?”

“The strange man is real, but it’s not Adv0.”

“Are you sure?”

“Adv0 is too…….well too weird to be him ha ha.”

“So based on these stories about the strange man, do you think Ninja made up the whole thing based on one of them?”

“Maybe, maybe not. The strange man might have gotten to him, but seeing how is still here without a scratch on him I’m pretty sure he made that up.”

“No further questions,” Ruudi said and returns back to his spot next to his client.

“So if there is nothing else to discuss, has the jury reached the verdict?” The judge asked and one of the jurors stands up to give their answer.

“Yes your honor, we the jury find the defendant Adv0catus not guilty!”

“Dammit!” Uber said and hits his fist on the table. He sees Ninja who is shaking violently right now.

“Good!” The Judge said, “Now as for you Ninja for falsifying a police report and almost having an innocent man in jail. You are going under arrest for falsifying a police report.”

“But…I WAS TAKEN AWAY BY THE MAN!” Ninja screamed as officers Gevock and Uzzbuzz take him away, “YOU GOT TO BELIVE ME! I ALMOST DIED! HELP ME!”

                The two detectives meet up with Ruudiluca and Adv0catus who give each other a thumbs up for a job well done. They split off and head home. Another day, another successful case taken care of. However across the street from the courthouse, staring at the mini celebration, a dark figure appears for a brief moment. He gives a smirk as he sees Ninja going to prison where he belongs. The strange man tips his fedora and vanishes out of thin air. After all, the strange man makes no mistake, and to insult him by saying he did results in consequence. Who do you think called Ruudiluca to defend Adv0 in the first place?
