A/N Nice guesses from some, and yes most are noticing that I am making them primarily prejudice to all the raccoon characters, mainly for obvious reasons Lifty/Shifty con-artist, thieves, potential murderers, Belize as the slight psychopath brought under control by his little sister, but a strong candidate for murder, so if I was killing random people I would make sure to make people check through them while I eliminate evidence to me.
Belize: You know I hate you right now?
I love you too now let's see who he runs into.
Belize stopped and slowly turned around, he expected someone else, but the voice sounded familiar to him. The minute he turned around to see who it was he was surprised by a small figure jumping on him catching him off guard and knocking him to the ground.
Belize then started laughing a little as the figure started to tickle him a little, Belize was about to say something, but he still couldn't. "Okay Rose, I think Belize had enough." Lammy said after laughing a little, Rose slowly got off of Belize, "Oh sorry big brother." She started to grin in a way saying to Belize in her way 'We will continue this war when big Lammy is not around.'
Belize slowly got up and looked at Lammy she smiled "Yeah, I got the medicine, but..." Lammy kind of looked around and saw Rose was the only one around, she sighed. "Rose go play on the swing facing the opposite direction." Rose looked at Lammy a little confused, but decided to enjoy being at the park.
Once Rose was on the swing, swinging back and forth facing away from Lammy and Belize Lammy grabbed the syringe needle, "Okay, now that she is not seeing this, much of the awkwardness of this injection will be gone."
Belize looked around, looking at her confused, Lammy sighed "Well it's a shot in an area opposite of the behind." Belize was still a little confused until he remembered, much shots are in the back thigh area, but then he realized what was opposite of that and knew that would have been awkward if his sister was watching that.
Belize grabbed the syringe, looking at Lammy if she was sure that's what she heard, Lammy knew he was hesitant about it, she then grabbed a note and handed it to Belize, after Belize read it, she was right. Belize sighed and decided to get it done and over with before anyone saw…
Shortly before Belize accidently got the sniper rifle to fire
"What the hell was all that about, why did he run?" An orange beaver with a yellow hard hat said, everyone looked at him, then knew he asked the million dollar question, they all then turn to Mark, because he arrived along with him and Lifty. "Well, how can I put this without causing a ruckus type of thing?" Mark said.
"What do you mean by…" Before Handy finished the sentence he heard something hit the top of his hard hat and landed in the dirt kicking up a little bit of dust, everyone saw it, a police officer that stayed to make sure everyone stayed calm walked over to where the dust was kicked up, he then reached down and pulled up a bullet.
"Everyone get down, there's a sniper in the area." Everyone knocked over tables and started to hide behind them, while the police officer was looking up to figure out where the shot came from.
After everything was settled and the police officer received a message on the walkie-talkie that they found the gun, but nothing was there, other then the weapon, everyone calmed down a bit, then Handy went over to Mark.
"Okay now tell us who that was stranger was." Mark sighed "Well his name is…" before Mark finished Derrick stepped in, "His names Jack, he arrived to town shortly before I did, we were talking while we were being bailed out of jail, for things we did not do." He then noticed most of them saw the news report and think he's lying, but the few that believed him started to converse on how they can find Jack.
The ones that were still suspicious of him were; a tan bear with a red robe on named Pop, a light blue squirrel with a red mask and a steely glaze many don't know his real name, but they didn't care; they just called him Splendid, because of his track record of catching criminals.
A teal colored otter with a red and white striped shirt, and a hook for a right hand was also there, they normally called him Russell, but they make fun of them sometimes calling him hook, or hooky, and another light tan bear with an orange jumpsuit and an orange afro was also suspicious of Derrick.
"Ah I remember seeing you on the news, how dare you run over Toothy." Pop said as he glared at Derrick, Derrick looked around at the group that were now all glaring at him. "Look I didn't run over Toothy as you call him on purpose, I was just driving down the road and saw the gas station, I was about to turn around to stop there until I felt a bump in my vehicle. I thought I ran over someone's pet on accident." Derrick then sighed "Look I have been hard on my self from that accident okay, so you mind leaving me alone about that, I don't give a damn about answering just about anything else, but do not bring up what happened."
Splendid was still eyeing him heavily, Splendid then sighed, because much of what Derrick said was in his intuition true, but he knew that the knowing of 'Jack' was a lie. "Well then tell us who Jack really is, I have kept an eye on your reactions to everything so far and yeah, you said the truth about running over Toothy." Derrick then smiled and used his hand motions saying 'See this squirrel here is a great guy knowing that he was telling the truth', but then Splendid continued "How ever you gave a lying tale when you were talking about Jack, so tell us who is Jack, Really?"
Derrick sighed looked at Mark to see if Mark will give him any help, but Mark just started to make his way over to Sobbles and help console her about the foot, Derrick looked around, "Fine its Belize, Damn." The second Derrick said that everyone was looking at him. "Yes, Jack is Belize, okay damn, now you know, would you mind leaving me alone?"
Splendid walked up to Derrick and held out his hand, Derrick was looking at it and started to reach for it, but then he stopped and backed away from the squirrel, as he saw Splendid's eyes start lighting up getting ready to burn through a target.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you trying to kill me?" Splendid then growled at Derrick grabbing him and slamming him in the ground "That jerk has caused much damage to this town, and he needs to pay for what he done. He's also a high level criminal that could go on a killing spree and be in a stable sane mind on the plotting."
Splendid lifted his right hand made a fist and got ready to punch Derrick, but before the punch landed Splendont tackled Splendid, "Brother stop this, remember you are supposed to be the good one. Now stop trying to take my job or you will have to fight me." Splendid sighed "Yes sorry, I got a bit carried away,"
Splendid started to calm down a bit, but he kept a 'you better watch it mongoose, or you will not like what will happen.' Derrick looked around at everyone, "What ever, but you guys really need to understand one little thing about Belize, I don't know if he was faking or not, but he seemed to look serious about not talking, because of some sickness he didn't really mention."
Derrick took a deep breath and then continued "So don't rush anything, he can't make any explanation by talking." Derrick looked around; He then started to walk away from the party but was stopped by one of the police officers. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, were do you think your going? I just checked with your statement in the station, there's no response, meaning until its confirmed you been bailed out, you are not leaving my sight."
Derrick just groaned, 'You have to be kidding me.' In his mind, Derrick got through the thought fast as he could and broke his smile for a second, but got back into character before anyone noticed he was lying.
"Okay no problem." Derrick said trying to play it and give hints to Mark to find a way to make it look like it actually happened. Mark knew someone that he could convince to sign the bail confirmation papers. He quickly ran to the station.
After getting to the station he went around the desks and started searching for the papers that they give to lawyers as witnesses to the signing, so it wouldn't be forged. Mark finally found it he then was going to go to Lumpy's office to get information on which officers, and interns that could sign it without a lawyer witness.
He got down to the jail cells and saw Mime rocking back and forth next to a wall slightly covered under the window in blood, from Mime rocking back and forth hitting his head against the wall. "Mime, what's going on?" Mime quickly looked up and saw the tall pink chipmunk outside the jail cell.
Mime got up fast and started to run to the cell doors, but lost his balance and fell down. Mark was going to help him, but he had something to do first, so he quickly went into Lumpy's office he slowly opened the door and walked in.
Mark walked up to the desk and started to search the records Lumpy had on the police officers and interns to sign the bail confirmation. Mark noticed, there were three and he knew two would sign it for sure, but he didn't have much time to find them, so he went to the closes one, which would need a lot of convincing to sign.
Mark went back to the cells "Hello again Mime, I have a little proposition for you." Mime ran up to the cell doors and looked at him confused, "Well you see a couple of my new friends are in trouble in a way for breaking out of here, but for a good reason." Mime looked around and face palmed for not realizing the few Mark was talking about.
"Well as they escaped someone killed Lifty, the other two and just about everyone else is in danger of being killed, and we need to have a verification signature by you that you received a bail to let all three of them out." Mime looked angrily at Mark and started to use hand gestures, 'Why would I sign that and help out convicts who escaped custody?' Mark did a sarcastic laugh.
"Well as I see it you want out of the cells, and my friends are trying to figure out who's killing everyone, so you rather have them back in here even though, they may not have done anything to even be here, while everyone else is being killed off one by one?" Mime started to think and did more hand gestures, 'I guess your right, but what does me signing that mean, and what are you going to do for me?'
Mark smiled, "This just keeps the police force off my friends while they investigate, and well I can get you out of the cells, but I think there's something else I could offer, but it cant be used at this time." Mime looked around and started to think what could be the harm, then he remembered all the crimes Belize has done outside of HappyTreeTown.
'Fine I will sign, but just make sure no one knows this happened, and help me call in Lumpy being dead.' Mark looked at Mime a little shocked, "What do you mean Lumpy is dead?" Mime started to talk in hand gestures again 'Yeah in his office.' Mark looked shocked a bit and then confused. "That is not possible… I just left from his office there was nothing there…" Mime looked around.
'Well I guess I may be highly stressed, I don't know any more, but I guess I can sign it.' Mark handed Mime the papers and a pen, Mime signed it, Mark smiled "Now to make sure you don't go back on the judgment call…" Mark started to walk away, without turning around. "I'm going to make copies and leave them all around the station and then hiding places outside."
After Mark finished hiding the copies of the signed paper, he went back inside grabbed the key and opened the cell door, "Okay Mime let's go." Mime just gave an 'I can't believe you don't trust me' look to Mark before they both left to find Derrick and the other police officer keeping his eyes on Derrick.
As they went up the stairs a maintenance door not too far from the jail cells slowly opened, as a figure looked out of it to make sure the coast was clear, when it was the figured sighed and grabbed a hanging uniform, and started to walk around freely looking as if it was their job to be there.
The figure opened the office door and smiled at how well they could clean a bloody scene like that, they walked in Lumpy's office and found the paper that Mark took off the desk and then saw the records, the figure smiled calmly. Then started thinking to itself, 'Good, he is just setting the suspicion up, this may still work within my plans, but I need to tie up one more loose end before they can catch up to the trick.'
The figure walked out the door and using the keys attached to the uniform and went out of the station like they finished a normal day's work shocked a little that there was little to no one in the station. The figure shrugged and opened the door to leave, but it stopped before leaving.
Back to Belize (Time passed since he's been at the park now back home)
Belize was looking around and grabbing an ice pouch for the injection spot, after getting it settled Belize just laid down and watched the television, and saw the news about what went on earlier in the day.
We are here at 19642 Tree Top Avenue, where a sniper has killed a local town criminal, Lifty, the police has been informed that one citizen that was at the party made a complete outburst and started to run from the police, came not long after a couple other witnesses stepped forward and gave the name of the suspicious character... Jack
A few seconds of pause as the reporter was getting information relayed to her for the live report.
Seems we have an update to the story, the suspicious character known as Jack, was just released by an associate of his, as being Belize, if anyone sees this character, please reach out to the news and the local police department as soon as you can, this raccoon is considered slightly insane, and unpredictable and possibly carrying a weapon, so be on high alert.
Belize just laughed at the news and started to think to himself 'Of fucking course, they love to twist things, I'm not that insane, hell I will be shocked if anyone here thinks I'm actually still highly dangerous.' Belize then laughed at himself. Belize then looked around took a deep breath and tried to talk.
Belize was just making some sound, but it didn't sound like speech, so he gave up, but compared to what happened earlier, he's glad he can almost talk still, Belize looked at the television and saw Lammy in the kitchen cooking something for Rose, while Rose was eating from a little snack pack and smiling. Belize smiled and then started to think about taking a nap.
"Rose!" Belize snapped his eyes open and looked in the kitchen, Rose was on the floor convulsing, Belize jumped up over the couch and into the kitchen he gets next to Rose. Belize looked at Rose, and tried to say something, but he wasn't sure if he could talk, he just kept silent, but gave a deep glance at Rose trying to see if she can read what he was saying with his eyes.
Suddenly Rose stopped moving, Belize and Lammy calmed down a little, until they noticed that Rose wasn't blinking, Belize picked up Rose and he felt her body was limp, Belize just slowly put her back on the ground and got up and ran into his bed room.
Lammy just stared at Rose lying on the ground, she wanted it to be a prank, thinking it's a prank, didn't do anything at all, until she noticed a smell in the snack package that Rose was eating, Lammy then realized that Rose was poisoned with Potassium cyanide. She started to feel sick as she ran over to the phone and called for the police to investigate.
The shadow figure sat outside the window and almost punched it infuriated, but instead grabbed a loose brick on the ground and threw it at the window before running off… Lammy grabbed the brick and looked at it, and saw nothing on it, no note or anything. "What the hell?"
Suddenly there was smoke grenades bursting in the house, and Lammy started to feel a bit dizzy, before she passed out, she saw Rose was picked up and carried away. Then she saw nothing but blackness.
A/N And that's it for this chapter, Yes a couple of deaths, and at least now they know Jack was Belize, but they don't know much else and now some are looking at Derrick, yeah, it will be a near wide spread paranoia soon, so yeah. Enjoy…
Belize: What the hell, man are you trying to make me depressed, killing my little sister.
Rose: What are you talking about big brother? I'm right here...
Belize: I know, I'm talking about in the story your dead...
Okay you two can talk this over somewhere else, now to work on my Penguins of Madagascar story, and a potential TheCompetition discontinuation chapter... What I'm too busy in the next few weeks and would lose interest in writing it so I would rather have a major chapter one of my longest I would ever right ending it in one scene then watch it slowly die and lose interest in my own work.
