3: I NEED YOU (THAT THING YOU DO)
Philadelphia. Pennsylvania:
Dets. Will Jeffries and Kat Miller were surprised as much as their Capt., John Stillman, to see both Hawkman & Hawkwoman, along with 2 ThunderCats, 2 Power Rangers, and 2 of Charlie's Angels going over a case with Dets. Lilly Rush and Scotty Valens. "Was this the case Nick was working on?" Sabrina Duncan asked.
"Yeah, he seemed to be obsessing on it…how is this tied to your case?" Lilly asked the Blue Power Angel. Det. Rush was soon looking at her colleagues, who seemed to be rooted to where they stood.
"You'd think they haven't seen Rangers before." Bill sighed.
"Well, not in our squadroom, anyway. Are you helping Rush and Valens on a case?" Stillman asked.
"Yes, and it turns out that it's connected to a case we're working on…the murders of several musicians…here, they were members of a group called the Wonders. Any idea how this was connected to the deaths of three children in a fire?" Hawkman asked.
"That's just it. All I know is what Nick told me when he called," Lilly started…
Flashback, three days ago:
Lilly Rush has just came in to her apartment when the phone rings. Picking it up, she quickly speaks "Um, Yeah?'
"Lil, it's Nick. I broke down on. I'm, uh... I'm on Conshohocken near Belmont. I'm pretty messed up. Lil, I think I might have killed somebody."
"Nick, where are…"
The phone hangs up.
Flashback ends
"When I got down here, the officer on duty was busy typing up the report. Hawkman was here at the time." Lilly spoke up.
Hawkman took up the narrative. We were dealing with a complete by the book rookie here…"
Flashback, three days ago, squadroom:
There is a garbled radio transmission coming through when the officer sighs and says "Department vehicle signed out by Detective Vera."
"Gone before I got here. Stop writing, will you?"
"Sorry, Detective. Got to fill out an accident report on all...
Hawkman took over. "I believe Detective Rush said, stop... writing."
Lilly decided to tame the situation. "Look, uh... Look, do us a favor. Can you, uh, just make it a car stop?"
Stunned that a Justice Leaguer is talking to him at all, much less asking him to do this, the officer repeats "No accident?"
Lilly sighs. "Right."
"Sure."
"Okay, go ahead. We've got it from here. Thanks." Lilly then picks up the phone and dials her partner. Hawkman joins her as she speaks "Scotty... it's me. Hawkman's with me. We got a problem."
One Hour later:
Scotty Valens and Sabrina Duncan were upset when they see the scene. "Damn, Nick. Is there any blood?"
"A little on the airbag." Lilly tells him.
Hawkman looks it over. "Yeah, it looks like he just hit the sign."
Lilly sighs."No animals down on the road. You hear anything on the radio?"
Scotty told her "Not yet. What about that uniform?"
Nick was gone when he arrived on the scene, and I told him it's on me. But why ditch the car?
"Trying to duck a DUI?" Sabrina asked.
"No. Message he left was a whole lot worse than that." Lilly told the Blue Power Angel.
"You think he was serious?" Hawkman asked.
Scotty told them "I called him back five times, and he won't answer his cell. Will or Kat know?"
Lilly sighed "No. Figured it's bad enough I got you and 2 Justice Leaguers on the hook for this now, too."
"It's Nick, Lil. I mean, they'd want to know." Scotty reasoned with her.
Hawkman looks at Sabrina. "I'll call Charlie. He'll get one of his guys to tow it, have him... clean it up. Does Stillman know?" she asks.
"What the boss don't know can't hurt him, you know? He's got enough problems. Well, at least till we figure out what the hell's going on." Lilly tells everyone.
"Doherty's giving him grief again? Batman's been looking into his past, and I have a feeling that your Commissioner may soon be looking for a new Deputy." Hawkman spoke up.
"Crooked?" Sabrina asks.
"From what we've seen from his files, anything illegal, he's got his fat fingers in what brought us out here. The murders of 2 of the music group the Wonders. Somehow, it's connected to what your Detective Vera was looking into." Hawkman tells Lilly and Scotty.
"Speaking of which, Hawkwoman, Tiffany, and the Blue and Yellow Power Rangers and ThunderCats are working with Det. Miller on that part of this case." Sabrina spoke up.
In the squadroom, Det. Kat Miller, Tiffany Welles, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, Tracy Partridge, and Bill Engvall were listening to one of the Wonders' songs. "I can't believe they only had one hit." Trini sighed.
"Well…from what I've been able to piece together, they had that one hit, 'That Thing You Do', then for some reason, the group just fell apart." Kat told everyone.
"The best way to start is by listening to their music…then go from there." Billy stated. The song came on the cd…
Little Wild One, my little wild one
Oh, I love my girl fine
But when I need a wild time
Little Wild One, I'll come back to you
All the girls at school
Were never quite as cool as you
They were all teasin' 'n talkin'
You were always pleasin', let's do
With them I feel like I'm wasting my time
When you make me feel like I'm losing my mind
Little Wild One, my little wild one
Oh, I love my girl fine
But when I need a wild time
Little Wild One, I'll come back to you
With them I feel like I'm wasting my time
When you make me feel like I'm losing my mind
Little Wild One, my little wild one
Oh, I love my girl fine
But when I need a wild time
Little Wild One, I'll come back
Little Wild One, I'll come back
Little Wild One, I'll come back...to you
Will Jeffries walked in just then. "Alright, I've gathered enough information on this group called the Wonders as I could. Not much was documented about them even during their time with their one hit."
"I found out the members were Jimmy Mattingly on rhythm guitar, Lenny Haise on electric guitar, an unnamed bassist, and Guy Patterson on drums. Guy's wife, Faye Dolan, is still here in Philadelphia." Trini told everyone in the room.
"I found out a little bit more about our mysterious band members. It seems that they were on national tv performing their hit, when, during the broadcast, the caption "Careful girls, he's engaged!" is superimposed beneath Jimmy's closeup. Jimmy was visibly upset by this, and disrupts the Wonders' post-broadcast celebration by demanding to know who suggested that he and Faye are engaged. He told Faye that he did not intend to marry her in front of the band, White, and Lenny's girlfriend. Faye ends their relationship. The others quickly exit, and Guy condemned Jimmy for his treatment of Faye. The next day, Lenny was absent from the recording session. White prepares to find another studio musician to fill in, but Jimmy resisted White's plan to cover songs from the Play-Tone catalog instead of Jimmy's original ballads. White tried to explain that their Play-Tone contract specifies the content of the album: one original song per side, with the balance consisting of corporate-owned material, but the original songs must be "snappy", not ballads. Selfishly, Jimmy quit the band and stormed out of the studio. As of this time, Guy and Faye were married, raised four children and started The Puget Sound Conservatory of Music where Guy teaches jazz composition in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Jimmy recorded three gold albums with his new band, the Heardsmen, on the Play-Tone label and became a successful record producer in Los Angeles, California before his murder. Lenny ended up single and managed a casino in Laughlin, Nevada. T.B. Player served two tours in Vietnam and was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds sustained at Khe Sanh and became a building contractor in Orlando, Florida." Bill told everyone.
"Ok, Tracy and I will talk to Guy and Faye." Trini spoke.
"I'll come with you." Tiffany told her.
"It's off to Laughlin, Nevada for Billy and me." Bill told them.
Billy then said "I've contacted Sabrina, and she and Hawkwoman will go to Florida to talk to T.B. Player. Maybe we can find out why Jimmy Patterson was killed here in a housing project here in Philadelphia."
The Next Day:
"Morning, Lieutenant. Something wrong with the air upstairs, Pat?"
With a shocked glance at Hawkman, Doherty asked "You know where Detective Vera is, John?"
"I guess I'm about to find out."
"Don't jerk me around." Doherty snapped.
Hawkman storms over to the Lieutenant. "Said the pot to the kettle. I heard all about you. Watch what you say around me."
Looking at Hawkman with a good healthy dose of fear, he turns back to John. "I know all about the abandoned department vehicle out on Conshohocken Road. I also know that one of your detectives had it towed to a private garage. Can't say I blame them. Damaged vehicle, reeking of Kentucky sour mash…"
"Your type of mash, I believe?" Hawkman snaps
"What the hell are you implying?"
"True, he did have the car, but you would do anything to bust up this unit, and put your self serving cheerleaders here. I'm watching you…and so is he." Doherty knew exactly who Hawkman was talking about.
Trying to eke out any bravura, he spoke "As for Detective Vera, I would suggest you find out where he is and just what the hell is going on before the end of the working day. Put your house in order, John... or I'll do it for you."
Hawkman got right in his face and snarled "Try it. We've got enough on you that goes all the way back to the Reagan administration. Stay the hell out of this, or you will see '60 Minutes', 20/20, and god knows who else at your office doorstep. You have gotten the one warning I intend to give. If I were you, I'd take that bit of that advice very seriously."
Doherty pratically ran out of the room. Stillman looked at Hawkman. "Did you have to get in his face like that?"
"Yes." Hawkman said with a very satisfied smile.
Bainbridge Island, Washington:
"We appreciate your taking time to talk to us." Trini spoke.
"How did your group first come together?" Tiffany asked.
"It was a twist of fate the whole thing happened. The regular drummer for the group at the time had broken his arm, and Lenny asked me to fill in for him…"
Flashback, late 1965:
Guy Patterson was at his father's appliance store, when Jimmy and Lenny walked in. "Guy Patterson? We've heard that you're a great drummer." Lenny asked.
"Yeah. The only other band I was in was my uncle's band. We played in this wedding for free, then we broke up.
why?"
Jimmy asked "We were wondering if you'd like to fill in for Chad just for tonight."
"Why?"
Lenny got this disgusted look on his face. "Asshole... just broke his arm!"
"Lenny! Anyway, it's an important gig for us, and could lead to better things. Will you do it?"
"Sure."
Flashback Ends
"I had no idea how much my life was about to change. We were playing a gig at Mercyhurst College, when I startrd playing the song a little faster than in rehearsal. Jimmy didn't like it, but the crowd loved it, as did the rest of the group. I hadn't played in front of people in so long, so I was nervous, but it sounded better fast. Jimmy wanted it slow, but he was wrong, it was an up-tempo number. And we won! We called ourselves the Oneders at first, Lenny kept saying it sounded like the O'needers, but when the single started getting huge, it was simplified to the Wonders." Guy Patterson told the visiting heroes.
"How did you find out your song was about to hit it big?" Tracy asked.
Faye took over here. "It was incredible…"
Flashback:
…Something new from Erie's own, the Oneders!
Faye was walking to the mailbox when the song came on. Screaming, she ran into the bassist, Jimmy's brother, and when he heard, they freaked and ran to the store where Guy worked. Guy was showing off a refrigerator when Faye and the bassist ran in still excited. Guy found out and shouted "Are you serious?!"
Faye took out her transistor and played it, and he got just as excited. Guy ran to a display radio, plugged it in, and put the song on. Jimmy and Lenny soon came in and they were just as excited. Guy's dad still didn't care for it, and started snapping at them, but that didn't seem to matter. Lenny shouted "How did we get here?"
"I led you here sir. For I am Spartacus" Guy answered.
Flashback Ends:
"Any reason why Jimmy would be back in Philadelphia?" Tiffany asked.
"None that we can think of. Once his band, the Heardsmen, hit it big, he left Pennsylvania, and never looked back. Does this have to do with why they found him and those children burned to death in that fire?" Faye asked.
"There's a connection…and we need to find it. Once we do, we find the killer. Thanks for your help." Trini says.
Driving the car back to Philadelphia, Trini puts a song by Swing out Sister, a group whose music captures the sound of the early 60s. "Why this?" Tiffany asks.
Seemingly reading Trini's mind, Tracy said, "This seems to fit, given what we're looking into." She said, as the song began…
Friends say I'll get over you soon
Thoughts of you come back to fill me with gloom
Time forgets, but I'm not over you yet
There's no sense in asking why
Until the tears run dry
There's no one but you on my mind
Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find
If we could make it work this time
Years have flown by since you've been gone
This broken heart of mine's been waiting too long
All alone without you I can't carry on
There's no sense in asking why
Until I'm there by your side
There's no one but you on my mind
Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find
If we could make it work this time
We could plant tomorrows dreams now together
In a garden to last forever more
And the flowers would grow
From the seeds we'd sow...
There's no one but you on my mind
Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find
If we could make it work this time
There'd be no sense in asking why
Waiting until the tears run dry
If I could make you change your mind
If we could make it work this time
There'd be no sense in asking why
Waiting until the tears run dry
If we could make it work this time
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
"Big guy with a voice. Right? He in some kind of trouble?"
"What kind of condition was he in?" Lilly asked.
"Whoa. Just so you know, I didn't serve him more than three."
"Just tell us when he left." Scotty finished.
"About an hour ago, wits about him."
"Sounds like he's become a regular." Lilly states.
"Every night this week, knocking back the Manhattans." The bartender tells them.
"He get into it with anyone at the bar?" Scotty asks.
"No. Keeps to himself, regulars know he's a cop. Came close three nights ago."
Scotty is stunned. "Wait. What happened three nights ago?"
"Last week, some idiot came inhere shooting his mouth off. Me and Big Mac tossed him before it got out of hand." "This idiot got a name? What'd he look like?" Lilly asks.
"I don't know. Just some guy. White, medium build, maybe thirties."
"What was it about?"
"Not sure, but the guy was sure busted up about something…"
Three nights ago:
"You happy with yourself, Detective? Thought you should know."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, buddy, okay?"
"I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen! My brother's gone, and that's on you now."
"Know what, jackass? I told you to hit the bricks. You're nothing but a drunk bum. Mac, get him out of here."
"How you can live with yourself?"
"What does that mean? You need to calm down. Come on! Just relax, man."
Present:
"I don't know what the guy's beef was. Something about his brother."
"He blamed Vera, felt he wronged him somehow?"
"Cop never bothered nobody, so I gave the guy the boot."
"Nick ever here with anybody?" Scotty asks.
"Nah. Mostly just drinks alone. Last couple nights in here looking over some old file photos."
Photos? What, like, crime scene photos?
I don't know. They were dark, hard to make out. Like something burnt up. Honestly, his line of work... I didn't want to ask.
Some other case. Arson photo. Didn't recognize it at the time.
J.D. Billingsley, 11/06. But why bring home a seven-year-old arson case?
You remember this case?
No. But the fire marshal would.
Laughlin, Nevada:
Billy Cranston and Bill Engvall walked into a very ritzy casino, not far from Las Vegas. "Almost respectable. Probably cost some mega bucks." Bill looked around as he said this.
"Still, not the place I would spend my single days. Let's find Lenny and ask him about Jimmy. Casinos give me the creeps." Billy stated.
"Weird. When I was your age, I felt the same way. Lenny Haise. Bill Engvall & Billy Cranston, right?"
"Yeah. My friend and I are looking into the death of your former bandmate from the Wonders, Jimmy Mattingly. Any idea why he'd wind up in Philadelphia?" Billy asks.
"Nah. Just that Jimmy thought the world revolved around him by the time the group broke up. I couldn't take it anymore, and just didn't show up for our 1st studio rehearsal. I heard he may have had a child from another woman…that would have ticked Faye off to no end if it was true. Guy told me about that final day…"
Flashback, 1966:
Guy is alone outside the studio. "I can't believe this." Mr. White walks up to him and says "Sorry, son, but The Wonders are in breach of contract.
Guy sighs in regret. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Mr. White."
Mr. White looks at him and says "Well, don't worry. No one's going to prison, son. It's a very common tale."
Guy then says "Well, maybe for you, but I was in a band, we still have a hit record."
"Yes, you do. The one-hit Wonders. A very common tale."
Guy looks around sadly. "My first time in a real recording studio."
"You want to hang around for a while? Ok by me, but you're out of the hotel this afternoon. Can't help that." Mr. White then approaches Guy, and says "You know, Horace was right about you, Guy; you are the smart one. Lenny is the fool, Jimmy is the... talent, and Faye is..." He sees Guy's face change at mention of her name "…well, now, Faye is special, isn't she? And you are the smart one. That's what I think anyway."
Guy later walks up to Faye, who is about to return to Erie. "Before you go, let me ask you one question."
Faye looks at him and speaks "Shoot."
"When was the last time you were decently kissed? I mean, truly, truly, good and kissed?"
Faye answers "Dave Gammelgard, New Year's Eve, '61."
Guy pauses, then says "Okay." He then kisses Faye, backs off and they kiss longer
Faye, now having kissed Guy, says "We should have done that a long time ago."
Flashback Ends
"As it turns out, things worked out well for all of us…well, except for Jimmy. Can you do me a favor?" Lenny asks.
"We can try." Billy tells him.
"Let Guy and Faye know that it wasn't their fault. It wasn't anyone's, not really. I'd really like to see them again, so give them this invite." Lenny hands Billy an envelope.
"We'll do just that. Thanks for your help." Bill smiles a little sadly.
Orlando, Florida:
Sabrina Duncan walked into a trailer office, along with Hawkwoman. "TB Player?" she asks.
"Miss, it's been at least 46 since anyone's called me that. It was Jimmy's idea. I'd rather go by my real name these days: David Mattingly."
"Sorry to bother you. It's about your brother. We're trying to find out why anyone would want to kill him. He was…" Hawkwoman started.
"I know: in Philadelphia. He had a kid, one that neither he or Faye knew about. This kid grew up and had kids of his own. I remember about a year ago when he called me with the news…
Flashback, Orlando Florida, 2012:
"Hey, Dave, Guess what?"
"You're putting the band back together, count me out!"
"No, little bro, I'm a grandfather!"
"Don't you have to be a father first?"
"No, you see, I had a kid with this one other girl I was seeing…after Faye. She never told me."
"What are you gonna do?"
"Well, I don't care what Doherty trieto do to me…or this 'Lorelei'…I've got a kid and maybe grandkids, I'm gonna see 'em. I may go back to Philly."
"Jim…watch your back. Doherty still has a mad on for you, why I don't know."
"Me neither. I'll be careful. Catch you soon."
Flashback Ends
"That was the last time I talked to him." Tears streaming down his face, David looked at the two women. "I know Doherty had something to do with his death. If he did, nail his sorry ass."
"Will do. Thank you for your help, and we're sorry for your loss." Sabrina told him, and the two left.
Once outside, Hawkwoman frowns "Deputy Patrick Doherty again, and not in a good light. Wanna check out more on our rogue deputy commissioner?"
"Yeah. I have a feeling there is even more skeletons in his closet." Sabrina told her.
JLA Satellite:
"I've already contacted Hawkman, I found out some interesting things about Patrick Doherty. He and Detective Rush are about to wrap this part of this case up." Batman tells them.
Philadelphia Fire Department:
"The balls on you coming in here, going at me how I do my job! Who the hell do you think you are?"
"Calm down, Ray." Nick tries to tell him.
"Don't tell me to calm down! How would you like it some fireman marches into the PPD, saying you messed up a case?"
Hawkman joins Nick at this point. Detective, there are some things you need to know. They go along with what you found out…but you aren't going to like the final results. I know your friend isn't. You're actually coming at him about Billingsley?"
"Whatever! Son of a bitch! He's lucky I didn't break his jaw!"
Yeah, all right, all right, from what I just found out, you're lucky I don't break yours instead of throwing you in jail along with Doherty for murder!"
Nick is completely shocked. "What in the hell?!"
"Tell us what happened…what really happened." Hawkman's voice dropping like a stone.
"I've been a fire marshal before he was a beat cop, or long before you came to this planet. Don't tell me what's arson and what ain't."
"Then why don't you take a look at the file, Ray. There were electrical problems in the house. No residue of a petroleum-based accelerant." Hawkman spoke up.
"You're both out of your freaking minds." Ray was now very nervous.
Hawkman seemed to be possessed by the Batman when he spoke next: "I said take a look at the file."
"Heard about enough. Get the hell out of here." Crawford tried to sound angry, but his fear betrayed him.
Nick tries to reason "I don't think he did it, Ray."
"I don't really care what you think."
"He never gave it up! That never bothered you? 48 hours in the box, I never got him to give it up. I always maintained his innocence. That don't bother you?"
"No, that's between him and God."
"Nick went on what you told him, Crawford. That it had to be arson." Hawkman bellowed.
"Wh-What are you saying, that I'm wrong, Nick? That you're listening to this winged freak, and this is all on me?"
"No, he's not saying that. I am!" Hawkman snapped. "Soon, both you and Doherty will answer for what you did!"
"Don't forget, Nick took the witness statements. He testified on the stand to his state of mind. The guy was a drunk! Pissed off at his wife, at the world." Crawford stammered.
"Damn it, Ray, it doesn't mean that he killed his kids."
"Or Jimmy Mattingly." Hawkman added.
"What?"
"Three days ago, Mattingly came back to Philadelphia to find his grandkids…and his son, one JD Billingsley. Both he and Doherty can tell you what happened next."
"No way you're pinning that has been's murder on me."
"The evidence from the autopsy speaks for itself. Three shotgun blasts, two through the heart. He was dead before he hit the ground. The two slugs match Doherty's…and yours!" Hawkman finished.
"Oh, cry me a river. His ex-wife still thinks that he killed her kids. And that's the way it's gonna stay. You really think you've…" Crawford began.
"Then maybe this will." Hawkman then showed him an arrest warrant along with Kat Miller standing in the doorway waiting with a pair of handcuffs.
"Joe Don Billingsley didn't deserve what happened! He didn't deserve to die, especially since you set him up, you son of a bitch!" Nick shouted.
"Boo-hoo! Live with it."
This earned him a sock in the jaw from Hawkman "BASTARD! I knew you and Doherty were greedy murdering scum, but I had no idea you were this bad!
Nick got professional on him "Assume the position." Kat then cuffed Crawford and read him his rights. Lilly joined Hawkman and Nick as they led Crawford to a waiting squad car. "You had a busy 48 hours. You had us all worried."
"Have I been fired yet?" Nick asked, as Hawkman joined them.
"Maybe the boss can pull some strings…for both of us." Lilly told him.
"You?" Nick asked in shock.
"Considering I covered up a DUI."
"Sorry about that." Nick's tone changed as he spoke next. "I saw my my ex-wife Julie. She's got two kids. I always thought that that'd be me. I'm happy for her. Back when they caught this case, it's all I wanted was a kid, a family. And then when I saw that burnt-out bedroom... And the kids...I sat down on the box across from this man, this father that had... had burned his kids alive, and I couldn't believe someone could do that. I went at him day and night, Lil. I knew something wasn't right in my gut. I kept looking for that one thing in his story, that one slip that just lets you... ...lets you know he's a liar. Just needed one slip. But he never did. I was just so sure he'd done it."
"And you weren't the only one, Nick." Lilly tried to comfort the man.
Hawkman then said "Firemen call it the "beast." Flashover."
Nick was still broken. "Hawkman, I mistook cowardice for guilt."
"It's an honest mistake, Nick."
"One that can't be made right."
" Well, look, we'll talk to the DA. We'll try to clear his name." Lilly spoke up.
"First, we nail Doherty's murdering ass to the wall." Hawkman snarled.
Billy, Trini, Hawkwoman, Bill, and Tracy were taking care of that little bit of business. The 5 stormed the building and soon kicked Patrick Doherty's door open. They then strode into his office.
"Most people knock." Doherty remarked.
"We've finally got you, Doherty!" Stillman grinned. He had joined them once all the information had been told to him.
"For what, exactly? And…what happened to Pat?" Doherty asked.
"Spare us! We know why you wanted Mattingly killed…and it has something to do with this 'Lorelei' woman. P.S., Ray Crawford is down at HQ, singing like a canary. Why don't you try and do something honest and legal for the first time in a long while?" the Blue Ranger snapped.
"I'm sorry, there must be some confusion. I'm sure if there was such a murder, that I have no part in it. As for Crawford, you just can't trust anyone these days." Doherty answered.
"We also have the ballistics test along with Mattingly's autopsy report. The slugs match Crawford's and yours. We want to know why?" Hawkwoman frowned
"Still, Crawford's word alone will never be enough to convict me."
"Oh, we've got much more than that. By the time we're done, the entire state of Pennsylvania will know what you did…and what you really are." Trini stated.
"BTW, it seems that both Batman & Hawkman have been looking into your dealings for some time now. We'll just leave a copy of this cd for the police. It should tell them everything you've did."
"You were so sure you would get away with it that you didn't cover your crooked ass! We uncovered schemes that go all the way back to the Reagan Administration, and this time, you can't con or cover your way out of any of it. It all ends with us, and since the police are here, we'll just let them in so they can do their job." Tracy grinned.
Bill added, "It's all over, Doherty, and by the way, get used to prison. You're going to be there for a long time."
Three days later, Doherty and Crawford were booked and jailed for purgery and murder, both for Jimmy Mattingly and the Billingsley children. Billy, Sabrina, Tracy, Trini, Bill, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, along with Dets. Scotty Valens, Will Jeffries, Kat Miller, Lt. John Stillman, and a much better Nick Vera were at a nightclub watching a one night reunion of the Wonders, Guy taking the mic…
"We would like to thank you for coming to this one time only event, and now…"
"Where's Lilly?" Scotty asked.
That was answered Guy continued "…and now, filling in for Jimmy Mattingly, Lilly Rush!"
Will looked at everyone there. "Did anyone know about this?"
Scotty looked at him quizzically as Kat told him "You kidding? This is news to me, too."
The other detectives were shocked when Lilly stepped to the mic, and began to sing one of the Wonders' songs…
I never thought my life would end up quite this way
Sometimes it's hard to figure out what I should say
I've try too long to mend this broken heart
I need you
That thing you do
When we're apart I find it very hard to smile
You know the other girls had never been my style
Well There's a feeling that I get when I'm with you
I need you
That thing you do
I could search around the world only to find
The only thing I need is you, right by my side
There's a feeling that I get when I'm with you
Oh woh woh
That thing you do
I could search around the world, only to find
The only thing I need is you, right by my side
I never thought my life would end up quite this way
Sometimes it's hard to figure out what I should say
I've tried too long to mend this broken heart
I need you
That thing you do
Ooooo I need you
That thing you doOoOoO
Batman was looking up this 'Lorelei' and so far, he found a member of a 1951 girl group. "Why would she want to kill musicians and singers? I need to learn more about this woman."
An upscale townhouse, the woman in question was pacing and plotting her next move. "This music…any music since 1956 is garbage. I intend to wipe it out…along with Lex Luthor. He did this to me…time for him to pay!
