Taking Stalk
Once upon a time, in a busy city, a police captain known as Chief Shnooker informs his partner aka his dog, Lieutenant Mumbly, of his next mission.
Chief Shnooker: Mumbly, I have a new case for you.
Lieutenant Mumbly: *mumbles* That's great! What is it this time?
Shnooker: ...How can you not notice what's wrong now? All you have to do is look out the window.
They look out the window of Shnooker's office, and they see a giant plant sprouting out of a nearby crossing.
Mumbly: A beanstalk?
Shnooker: Yep. Right in the middle of the city. How could you possibly miss that?
Mumbly: *mumbles unintelligibly*
Shnooker: Working too hard, eh? More than likely you couldn't see anything because your car's a mobile fog machine. Do you know how this thing got here?
Mumbly: Uh... no. Do you?
Shnooker: Sorry. I have no idea how it got there either.
Mumbly: *mumbles* Someone planted it.
Shnooker: That's obvious, but I have no idea who did this and why it's here. What I do know is that it's screwing up traffic. Everyone thinks they're getting green lights. There's also been a series of bank robberies, jewelery thefts, and various other valuables since this thing sprouted up.
The dog detective salutes.
Mumbly: *mumbles* I'll be right on it, chief!
Shnooker: Good. I would catch whoever's responsible for this mess myself, but I need some time off, er, important work to do.
Mumbly: *mumbles unintelligibly*
Shnooker: So you're saying that I couldn't catch a koala bear- hey! I'm not a slowpoke!
Mumbly: *laughs*
Shnooker: Go check out the beanstalk and leave me alone.
Mumbly is about to leave his owner's office.
Shnooker: Oh, and Mumbly?
Mumbly: Yeah?
Shnooker: Watch out for giants.
Mumbly: *growls*
