Chapter 9: Understanding Chaos

Kenny McCormick stood at his bedroom window and looked out at the town. He sighed and walked to his closet, opened it, and took out his Mysterion costume, looking at it.

The last few nights weren't supposed to happen, he thought. Professor Chaos has carried out his threat to murder the mayor and the district attorney. Next thing I know, he holds Commissioner Yates hostage last night. What the hell does he want?

He put the costume back in the closet and went downstairs. A news report was on about the events that had happened recently, so he sat down and turned up the volume.

"The town of South Park is still mourning the deaths of the district attorney and the mayor, who were killed a few days ago by Professor Chaos. A few minutes after their deaths, a bomb went off in City Hall, causing it to explode. The next day, Chaos held Commissioner Yates hostage in the police station until Mysterion came and rescued him. Both Mysterion and the police are still looking for Professor Chaos, but to no avail."

Kenny looked up as his mother, Carol, came in and sat down beside him.

"Watching the news?" she said.

Kenny nodded. "They're talking about Professor Chaos."

"Have you found him yet?"

He shook his head. "This guy's hard to find. I rescued Yates last night, but Professor Chaos got away."

His mom smiled. "Well, I'm glad you're keeping the town safe."

"Criminals aren't complicated, mom. I just have to figure out what he's after."

"Maybe this is a man you fully understand. Some criminals aren't looking for anything logical. They just want to watch the world burn."

Kenny sighed and turned off the TV. He went up to his room and lay on his bed, deep in thought.
