Sollux searches through the trunk of the car "Look at all of this!" The cop pulls out some of the drugs and drops them into a bag, "Meth, cocaine, soper slime, and Mariana?" Officer Captor pulls out a bag of brown mush that mysteriously looks like shit, "I don't even know what this is."
The rest of the pow-wow watches him from the sidelines, "So what's the game plan?" Vriska asks sitting on the hood of the car. "Are you going to find out who did this or are you going to sell this on the streets?"
Jade disappointingly looks at Vriska, "Of course we're going to find out who did this." The human turns to Sollux seriously, "How are we going to handle this?"
"Well," lisps the officer, "You and Karkat are going to return the car back to its owner and find out if they know anything about this." He turns to Vriska, "You're returning to the station with me."
Vriska throws her hands up, "What? Why do I have to go back to that boring place?" she argues in defiance. "Things were just starting to get interesting with these two!"
"That's exactly why, you're still a civilian and not very trustworthy while we're at it," the troll explains. He snickers, "Don't worry, you can fill out the paper work with me over this case. It'll be fun."
Vriska screams in aggravation but leaves with Officer Captor stomping. Before they leave, Captor shouts from out the car door window, "We'll be sending someone to take the evidence away, so break that to the owner." And he drives off to the station.
Jade turns to Karkat, "Well we better get going." Karkat doesn't respond, but continues to stare at the car's trunk with wide eyes like he has been since he finished calling Sollux over. "Are you okay Karkat?"
He smiles, "Think Jade, this is huge."
"What are you talking about?" Officer Harley queries the troll officer.
Karkat throws his hands out as if he's presenting the trunk as a games show prize, "A car is found with five million dollars worth of illegal goods. This is big." He grins at Jade, "Bigger than the stolen jewels."
The human gawks at Karkat, "You-You're not serious are you?"
The troll throws his hands to his face, "This is it! This is my fucking redemption! This'll prove that I am better than you and you are just some stupid fucking kid that is a total nuisance to my career! You'll be gone in no time," the troll laughs to himself and pulls out another cigarette to celebrate.
Jade face palms herself shaking her head, "You are serious."
"I can just see it now," Karkat continues ignoring his partner, "Chief Sweat-Head will come up to me and say, 'Well Mr. Vantas,'" poorly impersonates Karkat puffing out his chest, "'I can see that you don't need that bitch around. I'll just have Mr. Captor deal with her. In fact, I think it's about time you had a promotion. Why don't you take my job? Now if you will excuse me, I believe that I need a towel because I am a sweaty ignoramus.'" Jade surprises him by pulling him by the back of his collar and forcing him to the cop car.
"Let's just go, you can day dream later," she grumbles. The human officer pushes him into the driver's side, and she heads toward the passenger side. By the time Jade has buckled up, Karkat was still snickering over the juicy idea of him winning this case and not getting ready to move.
Annoyed, Jade crosses her arms and waits for Karkat to start. After five seconds she hits him in the arm hard, "Ow! What the fuck Jade?" The injured troll complains.
"Can't you just start the car, so we can get going already?" she grumbles.
"Fuck your impatience." He smiles darkly at her, "Lucky for you we're still partnered up."
Jade uncrosses her arms and looks confusingly at Karkat, "What do you mean by that?"
Karkat grabs another smoke and relaxes, "We're waiting for someone before we leave."
"Who?" Jade cautiously questions. Karkat does not reply, but instead continues to snicker over his plan for after the case. Jade sullenly pulls out the documents over the car and person to look for any clues for the case.
Seven minutes later Karkat jumps up in his seat, "She's here, and shit she's driving." Outside in the fields a small red car comes swerving closer and closer to the cop car. It slams to a stop right before hitting the cop car.
Jade and Karkat quickly climb out to see what kind of idiot was driving. The owner of the red car opens their door and climbs out.
"Terezi? You brought Terezi?" questions Jade. "When did you even have time to call her over?"
Karkat snickers, "After calling Sollux, duh."
The bounty hunter pulls out her smacking cane and grins at the cops, "What's up you two? This better be good, I was in the middle of Troll Judge Judy. She was going to hang a guy for insubordination." She drums her fingers over her cane.
Karkat throws his extinguished cigarette down, smashes it, and pulls out another one, "We found drugs in a stolen car and we need you to tell us if they belong to the owner."
"Oh, sounds like fun," Terezi responds honestly. "Probably not as fun as Troll Judge Judy, but it'll do."
Jade pulls Karkat close for a whisper, "Why did you call her? She's a civilian!"
Karkat doesn't bother whispering, "Yeah, and one who used to be a cop! She can help speed up the case; trust me we used to work together." He pushes Jade away and turns to Terezi, "You follow us and we'll lead you to the owner of the vehicle." Terezi shrugs an okay and heads inside her car.
"Wait!" Jade commands, "Why are you driving? You're BLIND!"
The bounty hunter sadly frowns at Jade, "Thanks for bringing up my disability again, jerk." And she goes inside her red car.
"But-" Jade stutters.
"Let's go," Karkat says pushing Jade into the cop car. The partners drive silently to the owner of the stolen car.
"That troll makes no sense to me," Jade huffs inside the car. Karkat shrugs pulling a fresh cigarette out.
The two vehicles eventually arrive at the owner's house in a poor area in the meaner parts of town. A run down building with weeds growing everywhere and shingles dropping from the rooftop. "Definitely the house of a drug dealer," Karkat proclaims confidently. A dog runs in front of him nearly tripping Karkat and causing the officer to shout a list of profanes.
"Innocent until proven guilty, Karkat" Jade corrects getting out of the cop car.
Terezi comes up from behind them, "Actually it's guilty until proven innocent I believe Miss Lime."
They walk up to the porch and stand in front of the door, Jade quickly rings the door bell and they wait. A crash from the inside occurs and a woman's yelling screeches throughout the house. A tired older human woman opens the door clutching a human toddler in one hand and a frying pan in the other. "What do ya' want?" she barks.
Karkat steps forward, "Are you Mrs. Harrison?"
The lady begins to take in the partners' uniforms, "Oh you're the cops, right?" Jade nods. "Come in, come in dears. Sorry for the mess." The group comes in to the run down house and smells something close to rotten food and baby shit. Dirt, clothes, toys, and spoiled food can be found anywhere inside. Jade spots two siblings chasing each other with the chaser carrying a dirty diaper. Mrs. Harrison turns to the toddler, "You go tell your siblings to all go to your rooms. I don't want to hear nothin' until I say so. Do ya' hear me?" The scared toddler waddles to another room calling for his siblings. The exhausted mother turns to the officers and bounty hunter, "So did ya' find my car yet?"
Jade answers twiddling her fingers in nervousness, "Yes madam, but there seems to be an issue involving your car."
The woman instantly turns deep red in the face and raises her frying pan offensively, "What do ya' mean there's an issue? I want my god damn car back!"
Karkat steps up to the plate physically pushing Jade back, "We found drugs in it, so it's officially evidence until we solve this fucking case." He pulls out a new cigarette.
The woman frowns, "Drugs? How did drugs get in there?" She turns to Karkat, "Can ya' please not smoke in here? I got kids ya' know." Karkat blows right into her face.
Jade smacks the back of the troll's face, "Try to be nice," she whispers. She turns back to Mrs. Harrison, "That's what we are trying to find out, but you see-"
"We'll contact you when we have more information," Terezi interrupts. The blind troll then pushes the officers out of Mrs. Harrison's house.
"Terezi what was that for?" exclaims Jade once outside of that filthy house.
"No drugs there," she answers, "I smelled a lot of things in there, but not drugs. It surprises me considering that human. I would've resulted to drugs by then, but nope not her."
Karkat looks at the blind officers smoking a new smoke, "Are you sure?"
"Definitely," Terezi confirms. The bounty hunter turns to leave, "I have to get away from this place. Talk about a shit house." The female troll shudders and turns to leave in her car as fast as she can.
"Wait!" Jade calls, "Aren't you going to help us finish this case?"
Terezi scrolls the car window down, "Sorry this town is far too big for me to take in such a common smell." She turns back to the wheel, but turns back to the partners grinning, "Besides, this is your case, remember?" And with that the blind troll speeds away nearly hitting two cars before she is able to leave the street.
"So what now Mister Wanna-Be-Chief-Of-The-Police-Department-Whoses-Going-To-Fire-Me?" mocks Jade poking Karkat's head.
He brushes her away and thinks for a moment savoring his cigarette, "You're fucking terrible with insults you know that?" The human frowns. "Don't worry; I got this fucking figured out." Karkat grabs his cellular phone out, "I just need to make a quick call."
Jade wraps her arms around herself to fight the slightly chilly weather, she looks at Mrs. Harrison's house, "Remind me to notify child services later."
