'Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
Clang clang Maxwell's silver hammer made sure that she was dead'

Wally awoke to the sound of this song at 9:30 PM, a half hour after his night course began. Grinning, he looked around his apartment. "Class time..." He laughed to himself as he rose from his bed and walked over to a wall where he had three post its placed. One read 'Classmate', and there was an X through it... The other two read 'Teacher' and 'Judge'. Slipping on his usual attire, Wally also pulled out a drawer by his dresser and it was filled with hammers of all shapes and sizes.

He grabbed a pocket-fitting weapon and slid it into his jeans with a devious grin on his face, and then he left for class...

Mrs. Lumberg, the professor, was sitting at her desk as she watched the rest of the class take their exams. Then, 45 minutes late, Wally swung the door open and it hit the wall with a thud.

"Mr. Beatles!" The teacher exclaimed, "You're almost an hour late!"

"Whoops..." Wally grunted, pretending to look at a watch that he wasn't actually wearing, "S'pose you're right..."

"Wallabee! You will not be given extra time, so why don't you take a seat and do the best you can at this point?"

The blond looked around at his fellow med students and laughed, "Well that's certainly not fair!" He went over to one girl's exam and picked it up. "I should level the playing field! It's not right that everyone else should have a 45 minute advantage on me!" Wally chuckled as he shredded the girl's exam, leaving the victim in awe.

"Mr. Beatles!" Mrs. Lumberg shouted, "They have a time advantage because they arrived ON TIME! Something you should have assured you done before walking into an important exam so late! Now... I don't wish to cause an unpleasant scene... So take an exam, a seat, and remain quiet... I'll see you after class."

Grinning widely, Wally thanked her, "You don't have any clue how good it is to hear you use those words, Mrs. Lumberg! Alright! I'll just take my seat and wait for my punishment..." He plopped down at his desk with his exam and smiled, humming the tune to track three on Abbey Road.

And so, after everyone had filed out of the class, all that was left was Mrs. Lumberg, Wally, and his hammer... "Now, Wallabee, if you insist on acting like a child, you'll be punished like one... Now write, 50 times, that you will be more respectful..."

Wally simply nodded and began writing, his teacher looked down at her papers to grade and drifted off as the australian wrote... and wrote... and wrote some more...

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times, "I must not be so"
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

"Oh Mrs. Lumberggggg!" Wally called cheerfully. He walked to his desk to pick up his exam to give to the teacher.

"Done already?" She asked, getting up and observing the board. "Hold on, this isn't what I had you write... Isn't this some song-" But she was cut off by Wally, who whipped his hammer out his jeans pocket...

"Damn it all!" Hoagie shouted, kneeling down next to the mangled body of the teacher... "I knew it was coming! That idiot Josh convinced me I was crazy! Well now who's the one in the wrong?" Looked at the board to see the lyrics that the murderer had left, and then noticed hammers drawn on the board, and another scribbling a little bit away from the lyrics...

follow the four

"... What could this possibly mean?" Hoagie asked himself. He immediately grabbed hold of one of his fellow cops and pointed to the corner of the chalk board, "Look!" He hissed.

The man looked at the three words, "... Follow the four?..."

"What do you think?"

"I think you're letting yourself get too caught up in this psycho's game, Gilligan..."

Hoagie lost it, turning red, he shouted, "Damn it! Don't you see? He's clearly mimicking the song! And he's leaving clues behind for us to follow!"

His coworker shook his head, "Hoagie... Why on earth would he want us to find him? What kind of idiot in the right mind would want to lead us to their location?"

The brown haired man looked away in embarrassment, it was a little strange that the murderer would be leading them to something important... But he maintained belief that he should still look into the 'clue'... "He's clearly NOT in the right mind!" He shouted. "W-whatever... I'm gonna head out, I can't handle this right now..."

"Yeah, just go get some rest and don't think anything more of this 'game' our hammerer wants us to play..."

As Hoagie left the classroom, he walked outside and immediately started pondering about the 'follow the four' comment... He got in his car and started driving aimlessly. He opened his window to let a breeze in and he peered out his window, and saw something...

"Wait a second... Route 4!" The man exclaimed as he saw a sign for it out his window. He drove down the route and continued for quite some time, approximately an hour, before he soon realized that this was leading nowhere fast... He growled in frustration seeing as this was leading nowhere... Hoagie returned home and crashed on his couch.

Think Gilligan, think! What can I say about someone I haven't met?... He's got a thing for the Beatles... That much is clear... And more specifically, Abbey Road and this song... He sat and pondered, he went to his own CD collection and grabbed a copy of Abbey Road, not wanting to go to his car for the murderer's copy. He looked at the song list and tried to see what he could obtain... He looked at track four... 'Oh! Darling'... There's not much to take from that... Frustrated, Hoagie spent hours trying to figure out what the code could mean.

He awoke the next morning in a daze, on his couch. He looked at the cover one final time and then he noticed something... "Wait!" He shouted, "Could it be?"

He jumped into his car and drove down to the abandoned music studio and quickly hopped out, running into the building, gun at the ready. He reached the door and angrily kicked it in, and he charged into the building. He didn't see anything, but he heard what sounded like a bass echoing around the halls. "Is that..." Hoagie pondered, "The bass line to 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'?..."

The brown haired man ran in the direction of the sound and finally the bass was coming through clearly right through a door that Hoagie stood outside of... Gun at the ready, he slowly opened the door to reveal Wally sitting on a stool with a bass and an amp. The blond looked up at Hoagie and gave a slight chuckle, "So... You figured it out, eh?"

Hoagie, gun still pointed at the man, hissed, "Yeah... I got it... I followed John, Ringo, Paul and George across the only marked crosswalk in town... The one right outside... You know, it was actually a very clever trick to say 'follow the four', much more complicated than merely putting 'track 3' on a copy of Abbey Road..."

Wally simply shook his head and said, "Oh rest assured, I was hoping you'd get it..."

Hoagie gripped his gun and began to sweat, "Don't pull anything funny, I've got the weapon advantage!"

The australian man rose from his stool and put his hands in the air. "I know when I'm beat... Now why don't you get those shiny cuffs of yours and restrain me before I decide to leave?... Oh I'm Wallabee, by the way." He tried to offer in a friendly tone.

Surprised by his calmness, and quite a bit scared, Hoagie ignored Wally's attempt at exchanging names and quickly cuffed his criminal's hands behind his back and hissed, "You are under arrest, anything you say can and will be used against you-"

A/N Well... I don't know how appealing this fic is to some people, but let me just say this... It's a crapload of fun to write! So I'll probably leave things at a close in the next chapter, but I haven't decided yet. It all depends on stuff... But anyway, I love to hear what you think, even if it isn't necessarily praise, so go ahead and review ;)
