Unsolved Crime Series
Part 4:
(While the members of one of the crime families discuss what to do about Wordgirl coming into their neighborhood, Wordgirl and Capt. Huggyface are still looking for any clue, pertaining to the unsolved murder case.)
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't know what we're going to find here, Huggy. And it's starting to get too dark. We need to get home soon. (Just then, she sees someone's shadow in a dark alley.) Hey, did you see that? (Huggy, yes.) Let's go and see who it is. (She then desends towards the alley to see who's shadow that was.)
(Meanwhile, back in Fair City.)
Mr. Big: So are we all in agreement as to what we need to do?
Dr. Two-Brains: Yes.
Ms. Question: (Scoffs!) Can't we wait until tomorrow? Why do we have to go and keep an eye on Wordgirl anyway? Can't she take care of herself?
Mr. Big: Well, we all know how powerful Wordgirl is.
Dr. Two-Brains: But what if she runs into a situation she can't handle?
Chuck: And the only back up she has at this point is her sidekick.
Granny May: And those criminals in the old neighborhood carry guns, knives, and who knows what else.
Mr. Big: And I believe that those crime families are still residing there as well and even though she'll be able to defeat the regular criminals, the crime families are something entirely different. And as much as we don't like it when Wordgirl stops us from committing our crimes, we can't let her face those crime families alone. She will surely get killed.
Tobey: We can't let that happen.
(Meanwhile, back in the old neighborhood, the residents are now aware of Wordgirl in their neighborhood and are now coming together to discuss what to do with her.)
Quincy: (Alex's father.) So, I called this meeting at this time of night because we have a crisis. My son and his friend, Justin came into contact with this young girl who came from the newer part of town and they overheard that she's investigating that crime that my grandfather and several others participated in.
Rob: (One of Quincy's cousins.) I heard about that too. But I thought our family and their allies made sure that the evidence was buried deep enough so that no one was able to find it.
Thomas: (An unrelated member of the crime family.) Apparently somehow someone found the body. Maybe that girl and her monkey companion is one of those who found it.
Quincy: Then we have to make sure that no one else finds out about it. We have to silence her.
Rob: I'll let the rest of our people know and have them keep an eye on her.
Quincy: (He then turns to face his son and his son's friend.) And boys, would you like to do a small job for me?
Alex: Anything for you, Pop.
(Meanwhile, Wordgirl and Huggy are persuing the person they saw hiding in the shadows of the alley.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Whoever you are, show yourself!
Serial Killer: (He comes up and grabs her from behind.) Are you following me, Little Brat?
Wordgirl/Becky: (Trying to free herself from his tight grip.) What are you doing here? You're suppose to be in jail.
Serial Killer: I'm a genius when it comes to breaking out of jail. Especially that horribly weak jailhouse you sent me to. So now I reside here and I am forced to live in the shadows of this place. Now that I found you again, I'm going to commit my first murder here in this part of town.
Wordgirl/Becky: I don't think so, Creep! (With that, Huggy pounces onto the back of the serial killer and he releases Wordgirl and she goes to tie him up and then she grabs the knife that he was about to use on her and destroys it with her strong grip.) You don't need this anymore. (She then throws it into the garbage dumpster within the alley.) Let's go, Huggy. (Huggy, are you ok?) I'm fine. Thanks Buddy. I owe you one. Come on, let's get back home. We can try to continue to investigate more on this case tomorrow. (She and Huggy zoom home back to their area of Fair City.)
(The next day, after school and after finishing her homework, Wordgirl and Huggy are heading back to the older part of Fair City.)
(What Wordgirl doesn't know is that, as she heads towards the older section of Fair City, she was spotted by Hal Hardbargen, who's shop is the closest to the border between the old town and the new town.)
Hal: (He goes to call Mr. Big, who's sitting in his penthouse office lair.) I just saw Wordgirl zoom past me and into the old town.
Mr. Big: Thanks Hal. I'll let the others know.
Hal: Good.
(Wordgirl and Huggy reach the old town and zoom pass the shops, restaurants, and other businesses, they head for the more residential part of town, where they come across apartment buildings and townhouses.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Wow, look at these apartment buildings. (Huggy, do you think the crime families reside here?) I don't know.
(As they walk pass the apartment buildings, Justin and Alex see them and begin to follow them.)
Alex: Dad, I see that girl and her monkey companion. They're back in town. What should we do now?
Quincy: You did a good job at spying, Son. We'll take it from here.
(Meanwhile, the Fair City villains have come together.)
Dr. Two-Brains: So, how should we do this?
Mr. Big: Who is willing to go into that part of town?
Chuck: Well, my mom always told me to never go there. But Wordgirl is going to get hurt.
Ms. Question: What if Wordgirl doesn't like us following her?
LRW: Ms. Question, is right, correct, factual. Wordgirl may not like the idea of us following her.
Butcher: But we're only doing this for her own good. I'm sure she'll understand.
Big Left-Hand Guy: Besides, there's more types of crime in that part of town, that doesn't exist here.
Invisi-Bill: What kind of crimes? We steal things and so do they.
Big Left-Hand Guy: Yeah, but they are also known to kill the people they rob.
Mr. Big: Ok, enough of this. So, who is willing to do this?
Chuck: I volunteer. I don't like it when Wordgirl stops me from committing crimes but she's a very good listener.
Butcher: I volunteer also. I agree with Chuck. Wordgirl is kind of a nuisance when persuing us, but she's also very helpful when I have trouble with words and their definitions.
Dr. Two-Brains: I'll go with them. Wordgirl and I go back a long time and she did save my life from Miss Power.
LRW: She is very encouraging and this town wouldn't be the same without her. I'll volunteer, undertake, offer to go along with you.
Tobey: I would go along with you all, but I know my mother would ground me until I graduate from college, if she knew I went to that part of town. I'll stay behind and only help if you really need it.
(After a long day of debating, Dr. Two-Brains, LRW, Chuck, and the Butcher decide to go into the old part of town to give Wordgirl some back-up, without her knowledge. The rest of the villains, including Doc's henchmen, volunteer to stay behind and will only help if they are really needed.)
(With that said, Dr. Two-Brains, Chuck, LRW, and Butcher hop into Doc's van and they head straight for the older part of town.)
(Meanwhile, after escaping the serial killer, Wordgirl and Huggy continue to look for anything that will help them in their investigation.)
(Just then, as they walk past the last of the apartment buildings, Wordgirl and Huggy come to a neighborhood, filled with townhouses.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (She hears someone behind her and she turns around, only to see the two boys she met the previous day.) What are you two doing?
Alex: We live in this neighborhood and we were wondering what you're doing back here?
Wordgirl/Becky: Why I'm here, is none of your business.
Justin: It sure is our business. You're in our neighborhood now, Girl and we don't like outsiders coming here and sticking their noses around places that they don't belong.
Wordgirl/Becky: Look, we really don't have time for this. If you must know, we're here investigating a crime that happened 50 years ago.
Justin: Yes, we know.
Alex: And we informed our families about you, snooping around.
Wordgirl/Becky: (At this point, Wordgirl and Huggy become very nervous and they step back away from the two boys.) And?
Alex: And, we have ways of making sure that our families' secrets stay secret.
(Just then, more of the boys' friends, who's families are also a part of the city's crime families, come out of no where and, before she has time to react, they apprehend her.)
Wordgirl/Becky: Let me go! I don't want to hurt any of you!
Justin: Some superhero. She doesn't want to hurt us.
(As this is going on, Huggy tries to help his girl.)
Wordgirl/Becky: HUGGY! GO GET HELP!
Alex: (Sees the monkey trying to get away.) Guys, get the monkey!
(His friends try to catch Huggy, but he flees from the scene and goes to seek help.)
(As soon as Huggy leaves the scene, Alex's father comes out and casually walks over to Wordgirl.)
Qunicy: Good job, Boys. We'll take it from here.
Alex: I'm sorry that we couldn't catch her animal companion.
Quincy: Don't fret about that, Boys. What can a mere monkey do? Besides, catching this little spy is more important. (He then walks over to Wordgirl, who is being tied up by Alex's friends.) Hello there. You must be the little nosy spy that my son and his friend told us about.
Wordgirl/Becky: (Even though she is captured, Wordgirl remains as brave as always.) You won't get away with this! I'll see to it that you and your associates in crime pay for this.
Quincy: No one is going to know about this because you're never returning home again.
(At this point, more of Quincy's friends come over and help to take her back to their main headquarters, which is located in a warehouse, that is owned by Quincy's family.)
(Alex and his friends head home to their mothers.)
(Wordgirl is looking around and she sees boxes full of gunpowder and many other weapon supplies.)
Wordgirl/Becky: What is all of this?
Quincy: You really want to know? (Wordgirl nods 'yes'.)
Thomas: (Quincy's friend.) We can't tell her. She'll snitch.
Quincy: She won't get the chance to snitch. I'm calling someone to come and take care of her. Now to answer your question, Little Spy Girl. These, my dear, what we're going to use in the war we are planning to wage against the city's super villains. Those freaks have been the top criminals for far too long. It's time that we, the crime families, made a comeback. But before we can do that, we need to get rid of the competition. And that would be the super villains.
Wordgirl/Becky: I happen to know the super villains really well and I know that you'll never be able to get rid of them. They are very powerful themselves. Trust me, I battle them on a regular basis.
Thomas: You battle the villains?
(The men begin to laugh.)
Quincy: They must be very weak if they spend their days battling a mere child. It's going to be a breeze to destroy them.
(Meanwhile, Huggy is in a panic as he hurries to get help from anyone.)
(Meanwhile, the Fair City villains have arrived in the older part of town and they begin to look for Wordgirl and/or Huggy.)
Chuck: (He looks out the window of Doc's van and is somewhat nervous about being in this part of town.) I don't know about you all, but I don't really like it here.
Butcher: Yeah, it does seem a little on the creepy side.
Dr. Two-Brains: Creepy or not, we have to find her and make sure she's ok.
LRW: Maybe they're right, Doc. I mean, Wordgirl is strong, powerful, tough enough to handle anything we throw at her. What makes you all think she can't do the same here?
Dr. Two-Brains: Because…I just have a feeling that she's bitten off more than she can chew.
Chuck: I just saw someone run into that alley. Maybe they know where Wordgirl is at.
Dr. Two-Brains: Ok Chuck, you can go and find out.
Chuck: Me? (Gulps and feels nervous.) Um, ok. (He then steps out of the van, gets his condiment ray ready and goes to follow the individual that ran into the dark alley.)
Butcher: I think I should go along with Chuck. He may need some back up. (Butcher than gets out of the van and goes to follow his fellow villain into the alley.)
(Meanwhile, Chuck is looking for the person they saw and comes face to face with a man, holding a real gun on him.)
Man with Gun: Ok, who are you and why are you following me?
Chuck: I'm sorry. My friends and I are looking for someone and I was hoping you might know where to find her.
Man with Gun: I don't know and I don't care. So quit following me or I'll blow your brains all over this alley. You got that?
Chuck: (Cowers in fear.) Yes Sir. (He then backs away from the man with the gun and backs up into someone behind him.) Who's there?
Butcher: Chuck, it's only me, Buddy.
Chuck: Butcher, thank goodness. Let's get out of here. This is no place for us.
(Meanwhile, Doc and LRW are still in the van.)
Dr. Two-Brains: Are you ok, Bea? You seem very apprehensive about being here.
LRW: I know. I'm just feeling nervous, uneasy, tense about being in this area of town. Ever since that guy, Jason tried to take advantage of me, when Dave went on vacation, and then I was almost killed by that serial killer.
Dr. Two-Brains: Look Bea, you didn't have to volunteer to come with us.
LRW: I know. It's just that Wordgirl's always there for us, even when she's trying to stop us from committing a crime, felony, violation. So I just thought that maybe we should return the favor, service, support.
Dr. Two-Brains: I have to agree with you. Sometimes we villains get into a situation where we really need Wordgirl's help and she's probably the only superhero who is willing to help us.
LRW: (She then gets out of the van.) I'm going to look for her.
Dr. Two-Brains: Will you be alright, by yourself?
LRW: I have my copies to back me up.
Dr. Two-Brains: Good luck, Bea. And, I love you.
LRW: (She smiles back at him and winks.) I love you too, Doc. (She then heads into the dark city streets.)
(Meanwhile, Butcher and Chuck are still looking for Wordgirl as well.)
Butcher: You know, my father used to live here and he said that he used to go to this place where the kids used to eat out at. Maybe we can ask someone there if they've seen her.
Chuck: That's only if they're still opened.
(They head in the direction of the diner that used to be a major hangout for the teens of Fair City.)
(Meanwhile, LRW is looking for Wordgirl and as she passes by an alley, she feels a cold set of hands, covering up her mouth, preventing her from screaming.)
LRW: Let me go! Set me free! Release me!
Jason: Not this time, Beatrice.
LRW: Jason Maxwell? What are you doing here?
Jason: Because of that little incident at the Copy Shop, I'm forced to live here in this dump. I tried to get back at that little brat for taking me to jail, but that failed so now, I'm going to get back at you for getting me in trouble in the first place. (He then slams her back against the brick wall.)
(Right above then, Capt. Huggyface is still looking for someone to help him rescue Wordgirl, when he looks down and sees one of the villainesses in trouble herself and, being the super hero he is, pounces on top of Jason, thus rescuing LRW.)
LRW: Capt. Huggyface, thank you so much! (She then goes to hug him, out of gratitude.) What are you doing here alone, on your own, by yourself? (Huggy points in the direction of where Wordgirl is at.) Is Wordgirl in trouble, distress, danger? (Huggy continues to screach and then pulls on her clothes.) Ok, but I have to get back to my group, associates, colleagues. We can all go there together. (Huggy cheers as they head back to Doc's van.)
(Meanwhile, Wordgirl is still tied up on a chair in the middle of the room, along with several members of the crime family, surrounding her with rifles in their hands, pointed at her.)
(Soon Quincy and another man, who she's never met, but looks way older than the rest of the men, comes into the room.)
Thurston: So, this is the little girl you told me about?
Quincy: Yes Sir. She knows about our operation and our agenda.
Thurston: That's very unfortunate. Hello there, I'm Thurston Smalls.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thurston Smalls? By any chance are you related to a Sheldon or Shelly Smalls?
Thurston: Yes, he's my stepson.
Wordgirl/Becky: Your stepson?
Thurston: Of course, he doesn't need to know that.
Wordgirl/Becky: Where is his real father?
Thurston: That's none of your business, Little brat. But you seem to know too much anyway, which is unfortunate. (He then takes a pistol and points it at her forehead, attempting to shoot her in the head.)
Wordgirl/Becky: You know, you won't get away with this. (She then uses her super strength to the max and busts free.)
Quincy: GET HER!
(Quincy and his followers begin to shoot at her as she attempts to tie up the criminals.)
(Wordgirl manages to tie up Quincy and his followers, but Thurston manages to escape the scene before she is able to catch him.)
(She leaves Quincy and his followers are left in the warehouse alone and tied up.)
Thomas: Man, she is tough and strong.
Quincy: I think we may need help with this.
Thomas: But now that she knows our agenda, she may tell someone unauthorized, like the cops or something like that.
Quincy: Well, at least Thurston got away.
(Meanwhile, Capt. Huggyface and LRW make it back to Doc's van and she sees that Chuck and Butcher have returned.)
LRW: Guys, thank goodness you're here. I just had a confrontation with Jason Maxwell, but thankfully, Capt. Huggyface rescued me. Plus I think he said that Wordgirl is in danger.
Dr. Two-Brains: Thank goodness. Do you remember where she is?
(Huggy is about to tell the four villains where Wordgirl is, when Chuck looks up and he sees Wordgirl.)
Chuck: Hey, I think I see Wordgirl.
(Huggy signals to her from the ground, by waving his arms and screeching as loud as he can.)
Wordgirl/Becky: (She hears his screeches and looks down, only to see Huggy standing with four of their villains and she is relieved as she zooms down to them all.) HUGGY! I'm so happy to know that you're ok. (Huggy, I'm glad that you're ok too.) (They hug.) And I'm glad to see you all as well.
Chuck: We're happy to see that you're safe.
Wordgirl/Becky: Wait? Did you guys come here to make sure that I was safe?
Dr. Two-Brains: Well, yeah.
Wordgirl/Becky: Thanks. But I'm also glad to see you because I think I know who the murder victim is.
The End…
Next…The Truth is revealed…
