Chapter 14

"Something isn't right." Sportacus said to Stephanie as she looked at her uncle. Walton still held the man at gunpoint, the only family she had left, and she wasn't listening to the above average hero.

"My crystal isn't going off." He tried to get her to focus. It was then that the pink-haired one noticed he was right.

"All right everyone calm down." Stephanie spoke up. At that moment, the doorbell rang and Sportacus was off like a shot to answer it. More people would mean the less likelihood that Walton would shoot the Mayor.

"Officer Brown and Officer Smith, it's very good to see you. Come on in." The above average hero smiled and led the officers into the home.

"The Chief wanted us to check in with you guys. He knows how much the Mayor worries and all." Officer Brown explained the unexpected visit.

"Yes well, if he didn't worry then we'd all be in trouble." Sportacus told them.

"Very true." Officer Smith nodded.

"Where is Agent Walton?" Brown wondered.

"Everyone is in the living room." The mustached man said. Both officers nodded and walked into the room to find Walton holding the Mayor at gunpoint. They quickly removed their weapons from their holsters.

"Put the weapon down!" Smith shouted.

"I'm putting everyone in this home under arrest!" Walton refused to lower her weapon, wondering how much longer she could keep up this charade.

"Drop it or we'll shoot. Final warning." Brown voiced their intentions. It was at this point that Walton knew the situation had gone from bad to worse. She put her weapon down and was rushed by the officers who put her in handcuffs. Smith then radioed the station.

"Chief Dooright is on his way." Smith relayed to the relief of everyone in the room with the exception of Walton.

"What was going on in here?" Brown asked as he forced the FBI agent to sit on the floor in front of him.

"She grabbed my uncle and threatened to shoot him." Stephanie said something before anyone else could. No one seemed interested in correcting her and the officer had no reason to suspect the niece of the Mayor was lying.

"I'm glad the situation is under control." Chief Dooright walked into the house.

"So are we." Robbie nodded.

"Especially since Walton isn't an FBI agent. She was fired six months ago and so was her boss on charges of being double agents for The Ministry. They disappeared from Federal Custody after the vehicle carrying them was rammed by an unmarked gray van. Smith, Brown, take her to booking. The Feds will be here in half an hour to transport her back to Club Fed. They're bringing in a team to assist in handling the Ministry as well." Dooright explained.

"Excellent. Now if you'll excuse me." Mayor Meanswell moved from his spot near the wall and headed for the bathroom. He was pretty sure he needed a change of shorts.

"So any news on what happened to her boss?" Sportacus asked.

"No, but they believe that he is still on the loose. No evidence has turned up otherwise." The police chief said.

"So that means we still have a problem. Who knows where this guy is or what he's doing?" Robbie shook his head.

"Yes, one would assume wherever Walton is he is not far behind." Dooright gave Robbie a look. The whole "Robbie being a good guy" thing still didn't sit well with him despite Sportacus' vouching for the ex-con.

"Lets head for the station and meet the Federal team." The Chief continued.
