Note: Here is chapter six of The Adventures Of Crimson Darkness. This Chapter was supposed to have launched today, but yesterday was a crazy day for me that it slipped out my mind. Anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter.
Chapter Six:
Cops Giving The Motto
"Serve And Protect" A Bad Name:
The next day, Crimson and the twin went to the stadium where the super bowl will be held. They decided to go there in order to find any possible clues on Femora's whereabouts.
Rose: Okay, so whoever did steal Femora, must have left some clues.
Coach: (Sees Crimson and the twins and runs towards them) Excuse me! (Now standing in front of Crimson and the twins) Can I ask what you three are doing here?
Crimson: Helping finding Femora and search for some clues.
Coach: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to see some ID.
Ruby: Oh, let's not go into much detail, how about we talk in somewhere more private?
Coach: Alright then. (Crimson and the twins follow the coach to his office, where he closes the door once everyone is inside) Okay, so you mind explaining WHY you're doing here. As I said, I'm going to have to see some ID.
Crimson: ID huh? (Remove his hood) Did this answer your question? The name's Crimson Darkness.
Coach: (The coach jumps back due to fright) T-T-THE CRIMSON DARKNESS?! I thought you were just a myth!
Crimson: And I would like to keep it that way.
Coach: (Look at the twins) Who are they?
Crimson: Two best recruits on my team.
Coach: Okay... w-what you want?
Ruby: We want information about Femora the piranha plant!
Rose: When was the last time you saw her?
Coach: Well it happened yesterday during our training for the super bowl.
Crimson: Go on.
Coach: Well, we left Femora in the locker room when we went to train. And when my boys came back to the locker room after training, Femora was gone. We called the galactic police to file a missing person report, and this is what the guy on the other line said to me: "If you think that we're going to waste our fucking time finding a stupid fucking plant, then you're out of your fucking mind you fucking stupid idiot." That's what the guy on the phone told me. (Ruby rolls her eyes, and Rose shakes her head of the annoyance of their former chief being an asshole)
Crimson: Why am I not surprised? Cops are giving the motto "Serve and protect" a bad name. Did any security cameras record the thief in action?
Coach: Yes, but we couldn't get a good look at the thief, as he/she was wearing a cloak to cover his/her face. Now, we did train Femora to defend herself if anybody tried to hurt her in any way. However, the thief seemed to have sprayed something at Femora to make her fall asleep. After Femora fall asleep, the chief picked Femora up and carried her way, but not before giving the camera, AKA: "US," the middle finger.
Crimson: I see.
Rose: You don't mind if we search the locker room for any clues do you?
Coach: Well, you'll have to wait until my boys are done changing after practice. (Jokingly) Not unless you want to see a bunch of naked men running around? (Crimson growls which makes the coach flinch a little, he then holds his hands up in defense) Hey, calm down buddy, it was a joke!
Crimson: Okay, we'll wait after their done, and make sure you tell them that three people are doing business around here.
Coach: Alright. Anyways, since the three of you are helping me other than the police, will you do anything with your powers to save our team's mascot for the Superbowl?
Ruby: What do you mean?
coach: We treat Femora as like part of a team and sometimes like family since she's been missing, the team can't keep their spirit up without her.
Rose: That's sound awful.
Coach: Yeah, and you three seem like the ones who got this, and we hope you can do it.
Crimson: (Smile and give a thumbs up) You can count on us, coach!
Coach: Let's hope so. Anyways, I got to report to the boys on what's going on. So excuse me, please. (Takes his leave)
Crimson: Okay. (Thinking) So the mysterious person was wearing a cloak and kidnapped her, it seems he or she hates the plant, like blaming her for everything and even ruining the game.
After a few minutes, after the players exited the locker room, Crimson and the twins entered the locker room.
Rose: (Covers her mouth and nose) EW! What is that smell?
Ruby: (Covers her mouth and nose) It smells like somebody took a massive shit and didn't flush!
Crimson: I got this. (Pulls out a can, shakes it and sprays at the entire locker room, and the smell of the air becomes a refreshing) There, this spray can is what I like to call anti-stench odor, the spray cleans every horrible smell, stinky bathrooms, germs, bacteria, clothes, you name it, and now you girls can breathe now.
Rose: (Takes a sniff) Oh, that's much better.
Ruby: Yeah, now I can think straight.
Rose & Ruby: Thanks Crimson.
Crimson: No problem, the coach said that the thief stole Femora in this locker, (Look at the twins) lets the search for clues.
Ruby: Roger that!
Rose: Got it! (As they begin to search around the room, Rose found a spray can on the floor that read" Knock Out Plant-Sleep Spray.") Hey guys, come here for a second.
Crimson: (Crimson and Ruby walked towards Rose) What did you find Rose?
Rose: This. (Shows them the can) The thief must've used this can to put Femora to sleep.
Ruby: But why would the thief leave it here?
Crimson: Must've dropped it when he was in a hurry.
Rose: (Just then, her cell phone began to ring) Oh, that's me, hold on. (Answers her phone) Hello? (A slight pause) Oh hello Mrs. Greenword... (A slight pause, then Rose looks worried) What?! (A slight pause) Okay, we'll be there shortly. (Hangs up) Guys, you're not going to believe this!
Ruby: What is it, sis?
Rose: Its Leon... He's dead!
Crimson & Ruby: WHAT?!
Rose: Yeah, according to Mrs. Greenword, he jumped out of his balcony, falling to his death.
Crimson: Why would he do that?!
Ruby: We better go to the apartment building and see
They nodded as Crimson took the spray gun with him, and his x-ray to check for any fingerprint and put it in his pocket.
Rose: Okay, let's go. (They take off)
Crimson and the twins arrive at Leon's apartment, where they see the police just putting Leon on a body bag.
Rose: Oh Leon!
Ruby: Come on, let's go to his apartment.
Crimson and the twins take the elevator to the thirtieth floor where Leon apartment room was. When Crimson and the girl arrived there, the police were all over the room, asking the neighbors about what happened. The twins then growled when the saw the former boss there.
Ruby: Hey Laendov!
Laendov: (Looks at the twins and Crimson) Oh God! What do you two want?!
Ruby: We want to know what happened here.
Laendov: Well, I hate to break it to you, but this here is official police business, and since you two are no longer in the force, I'm going to have to ask you, ladies, to leave, NOW!
Crimson: Why can't you just tell us, Leon was their friend, they deserve to know what happened.
Laendov: What's to tell, the guy committed suicide, I don't know why he did it. Maybe the news of you two leaving the force was too much for him to handle and he decided to end it all.
Crimson: (The twins get mad and attempt to attack Laendov, that is until Crimson stopped them from doing so and shook his head no to them, then he turns his attention to Laendov) You know, I somehow don't believe you.
Laendov: Are you calling me a liar?
Crimson: I never said that now did I? (Crimson then started to take a look around the place) Tell me, did you guys take a good look around the place.
Laendov: (Chuckles) Like I said, he committed suicide, what's there to look? (Arrives at the balcony and looks around, Laendov then walks towards Crimson) So... Fire Shadow, are you now convinced that this was obviously a suicide.
Crimson: Hmm, well, I would... if there wasn't that spot of blood on the railing there! (Leaves and Laendov takes a look at the railing, where he did indeed see the spot of blood) Would you like me to explain how this happened? (Laendov says nothing) Alrighty then. (Walks back to the living room) Leon went out after work, he had a few drinks and went back home, but he wasn't alone, someone else was with him in this apartment, there was a struggle, which led to the balcony. Then, Leon's visitor threw him over the balcony, making Leon fall to his death. In other words, Leon did not commit suicide... he was murdered. (The twins widen their eyes after hearing Crimson out)
Laendov: (Chuckles) That's an interesting story, but there's that one little thing that us police officers go by, and that is... evidence.
Male Officer #1: (Laughs) Take that asshole.
Crimson: Of course... how... foolish of me... Laendov, (Offers a handshake) good work. (Laendov attempts to shake Crimson's hand, only for him to move his hand away at the last second, making the girls giggle, Crimson then takes his leave, but then he remembers something) There is just... one more thing chief, (Points at Mrs. Greenword) This is Mrs. Greenword, Leon's neighbor, she said that she heard a scream in this apartment, (Looks at Mrs. Greenword) Isn't that right ma'am?
Mrs. Greenword: That's right.
Crimson: And this here is Leon's housekeeper, Ms. Amber Zick, (To Amber) You said that you had to open the balcony door when you keyed your way into the room?
Amber: Yes, that's right.
Crimson: (Smirks and walks to the balcony) Interesting.
Laendov: WHAT THE POINT SHADOW?!
Crimson: (Now standing behind the balcony door) Only this! AHHHHHHHHHH... (He closes the balcony door which nobody could hear him scream) AHHHHHHHHHH... (He closes the balcony door which nobody could hear him scream) AHHHHHHHHHH... (He closes the balcony door which nobody could hear him scream) AHHHHHHHHHH-AH! This is double pane sound prove glass. There's no way that Mrs. Greenword could have heard Leon's scream on the way down with that door shut, the scream that she heard took place in this apartment before he was thrown over the balcony and the killer closed the balcony door before he left. YES! YES! OH YEAH! CAN YOU FEEL THAT BUDDY?! (Starts thrusting his hips) HUH?! HUH?! HUH?! I have... (Puts his arms up) exorciiiiiiiiiiiise the demons! (Folds his hands together) This house... is clear. (This makes the twins giggle, and Crimson soon chuckles) Galactic Police Officers? More like... Galactic Losers.
Laendov: GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
Crimson: Smell you later suckers ! Let's bounce girls!
Rose and Ruby: Right behind you!
As they went off, Laendov is seen suddenly sweating a little for some odd reason.
Male officer #2: Hey boss, you okay.
Laendov: I'm fine, it's just a little warm in here. Let's get out of here.
Later, Crimson and the twins are at a fast food joint having some supper.
Rose: You know Crimson, that was pretty good detective work back there.
Crimson: What can I say? I'm crazy enough to bring laughter and a smile for the people, even if I "Crack" a few cases along with it. (The twins laugh)
Ruby: But seriously though, do you think that the police have been slacking off in their jobs lately? I mean, Leon was murdered, and they were just going to file it as a suicide. I doubt that they even bothered to look for any clues.
Crimson: Perhaps it's like this, the chief who don't care for the plant, and same with the police, as the chief who is in charge of everything, so I guess he ordered them for a certain deal, because something is amiss, when we left the apartment, he sweated a little. Meaning he's up to something, and you two knew Leon very well, as he never even thought of committing suicide, seems out of character for him.
Rose: So you're saying that the police may be in on stealing Femora?
Crimson: Not sure, when I saw the spray gun form the locker room, I used my x-ray vision to see fingerprint and I scanned for D.N.A, we better go ask the coach some questions.
Ruby: We'll have to go back once their back at the stadium tomorrow, I'm sure everybody has left for home by now.
Rose: Yeah and I think we're almost done solving this case , but we still don't know where she is.
Crimson: Don't worry, we'll find her in no time. (Smiles)
