It was a boring day in Springfield. Marge had ordered Homer out the house to buy food at the Kwik-E-Mart and he was walking around the isles looking for the things on his shopping list.
"What's next?" he pondered out loud. "Broccoli? Oh!"
Just then, a banging made him turn around.
A man in a torn red jacket was banging on the window of the Kwik-E-Mart. He was balding and fat.
"Hey, you're that guy from Moe's. Larry whatsit."
Larry banged on the window again. He snarled.
"Heh heh" Homer laughed. "Hey Apu, look at this guy!"
Apu came over.
"Oh my goodness." Apu said as he saw Larry, who growled.
"Heh heh, isn't it hilarious?" Homer said.
Apu walked away and went outside. He went up to behind Larry.
"Hello? Please go away from my shop- SWEET SHIVA!"
Larry snarled and leapt at Apu. Apu screamed as Larry tore into his chest but
quickly stopped struggling and went limp. Homer screamed and backed away from the window.
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god!"
Larry looked up at Homer and growled. He stood up and prepared to charge at the window.
"Oh my god oh my-"
Larry ran at the window and smashed through it. Homer was showered in broken glass. Larry, undeterred, ran at Homer who backed away and tripped. He fell backwards as Larry advanced.
"Dear god," Homer prayed, "I know at the best of times we haven't been very close but please just this once save me!"
Larry leapt at Homer, who screamed. Larry was suddenly thrown backwards, his head with a neat hole in it. Blood poured down his face as Homer stood up.
"What the?"
"Homer J Simpson."
A man with grey hair walked over to Homer, wearing a black suit and tie. He was holding a pistol, which was smoking.
"I'm Bill Gannon, detective. I believe we've met before."
"Err, have we?"
"Yes. I was assigned to track down your mother for arrest in the episode Mother Simpson."
"Er"
"Listen," Bill continued, "something's not right. They quarantined Shelbyville a few days ago. Other cities as well. That man just now. It's all adding up to something big, but what?"
"Listen Bill," Homer said, "this all sounds very interesting but I need to get back to what matters most."
"Your family?" Bill asked.
"Moe's."
