In a hallway with many bodies on slabs being examined, Dr. Hall leads Geoff, Maggie and Blake, who was holding a file, over to a nearby room before opening it and they all head in.
The interior appeared to be a freezer, which caused Blake to rub his arms for warmth, since his gi doesn't have sleeves. "Hope they're on their way to a funeral." He muttered. (A/N: Small nod to the late Sean Connery)
They stop at a slab with a sheet covering a body. Dr. Hall was wearing a medical garb over his clothes while Geoff, Maggie and Blake have lab coats on over their gis as they came closer. "If any of you get sick from the smell, there is a sink in the next room where you can throw up in." Dr. Hall said.
"Don't worry, Dr. Hall." Geoff replied. "I'm use to it."
"So, who do we have, dad?" Maggie asked, looking at the covered up body.
Dr. Hall smiled before he pulls the sheet back, revealing the body of a young man. He had a Y on his chest from being autopsied and stitched up. "He was ID as Casey Stones on the scene." Dr. Hall replied. "I just confirmed that the broken neck is a result of the skull separating from his spine as the cause of death. Which was of course caused by you kicking him off the deck of Borg Tower, Blake."
"Anything else, Doc?" He asked as he reads the report.
"Yes, aside from a tattoo of the Sons of Garmadon on his back left shoulder and a bruise on his chest from your right boot, this was the most disturbing. Stomach contents confirmed he had 3 shots worth of alcohol in his system, ingested just three hours before his death. Green food colour dyed tequila."
"Green Ninjaritas." Geoff said, knowing what is was. "There's only one place that serves it."
"Wait, he's 17?" Blake asked, looking up from reading the report as Maggie took a look at it.
"Seems like it." Dr. Hall replied. "And there's no next of kin."
"He was an orphan." Maggie said before shaking her head in disappointment. "They recruit orphans."
"And juveniles. Stones has multiple records for petty theft."
"That's why Lloyd and Harumi saw some members hassle those kids the other day." Geoff said as Dr. Hall puts the sheet back over Casey's body. "They probably wanted to recruit them. Um, thanks, doctor." They all leave the freezer. In the hallway as they start to leave with Geoff, Maggie and Blake taking off the coats.
At the police station, Zane, Cole and Gewuji, who were by a coffee machine, waiting for the tea to be brewed just as Clive, holding a file, came up to them. "Here's the file on the suspect." He said, handing Gewuji the file, and she immediately started reading it. "Want some help?"
"Naw, you've interrogated him long enough." Zane replied as Gewuji looks at the file.
"'Luke Cunningham, born 23 BUB, a few prior convictions for multiple robberies and assault'." She said as she read it.
"I guess these Sons of Garmadon guys have this code of silence if they're caught." Clive replied.
"Guess so." Cole said.
Live then turned to Gewuji. "By the way, I heard about you and Lloyd breaking up the other day. Do you, uh, want to go for a coffee one day, maybe talk about it?"
"I'll pass." She said, handing him back the file just as the doors behind them open up and two police officers were dragging a handcuffed man in a business suit into the room. "But, I'll let you know."
"I'm innocent!" The man yelled to the officers.
"Tell it to the judge." One of the officers replied as they walk past the group.
"I am the judge!"
Zane had just finished making two cups of tea and looks at the cup in his left hand. "This cup contains the Tea of Truth, this other one is for you." He said to Cole.
"Ha." Cole replied as he took the two cups. "Nothing like good old fashioned detective work."
Pretty soon, fighting was heard as Gewuji and Clive turned to see the judge had pushed one of the cops down, turned to the other cop and headbutts her, but falls back. "Out of my way, coppers!" The judge yelled as he quickly got up and started running.
"Stop him!" One of the officers yelled as Clive gets out some pepper spray, but the judge, who wasn't looking, rams into him, knocking him down, as Gewuji prepared to get in front of him, but the still not looking judge pushes her into Cole, making him throw the cups in the air.
"No!" He yelled as he fell forward just as Zane stomps the ground, creating a trail of ice, which the judge slips on and slides to the closed doors while Gewuji manages to get up and catches the two cups, sighing out of relief.
The judge soon hits his head on the doors which made him stop. "That didn't go the way I pictured." He said as the officers came up to him.
While the officers were busy grabbing the incapacitated judge, Zane, Cole and Gewuji head over to nearby door as Gewuji held the cups and chuckled. "I didn't even spill a drop!" She said.
"Probably best that she'd do it." Cole said to Zane. "Besides, she's managed to grab the teas."
"Agreed." Zane replied before turning to Gewuji. "Are you ready?"
"Uh, of course." Gewuji said as she tries to think which cup contained the correct tea before shrugging. "I'll have to take a guess." She whispered to herself.
In the interrogation room, Luke Cunningham, who was a man with a stubble, long dyed white hair, with a black streak remaining, wearing biker gear, was handcuffed while the helmet he wore during the heist was on the table before the door opened. "Who turned off the heat?" He asked before noticing his visitors. "Ninja." He scoffs while Cole closed the door. "What do you guys want?"
"We would like some information regarding who you work for, Luke."
"Well, I'd like a pepperoni pizza and some chocolate ice cream, but it ain't gonna happen." He sarcastically spoke.
"We don't have that, but we do have a cup of hot tea that could warm you up." Gewuji said, placing the cup in her left hand over to him.
"I ain't thirsty, bitch."
"Suit yourself." Gewuji takes a sip of the cup she currently had while sitting down in the other chair. "It really warms me up. Sometimes a cup of hot tea just hits the spot." She moves it closer.
"Like I said, I ain't talking."
Cole then slammed the table, in anger. "Drink it!" He yelled.
Luke then stood up. "No!"
"Oh, don't you get it?" Gewuji asked, also standing up. "If you don't drink the Tea of Truth we won't get answers!" She soon gasped before looking at the cup she had drank.
"You trying to trick me?"
"Gewuji, I think you drank the wrong cup." Zane said.
"I see that now." She replied to him, handing him the cup. "But in full disclosure, I'm trying my best to look like I didn't." She then glared at Luke, who did the same before she looked down. "Crap, it's not working, is it?"
Luke chuckles. "So you can't lie, huh?" He asked before sitting down. "Oh. Ooh! You really in a relationship with the Green Ninja?"
"No way, we totally broke up."
"Where are you hiding the Princess?"
"Oh, the Destiny's Bounty in a cove of Hollow's Bluff!" She tries to cover her mouth again. "But tomorrow we'll be at the Village of Stiix!" She looked away, embarrassed.
"You're giving away our secrets!" Zane said to her, in a state of shock.
She turns back to him. "I can't lie!"
"What sort of power does your ex-boyfriend have?" Luke asked.
"It's some kind of Energy, or green light! I dunno, like all our Elemental Powers rolled into one!" She moved her head back. "Who can say? Zane! Cole! Knock me out! Do something!"
Luke soon started laughing. "Wait till the gang at Laughy's hears about this."
"Laughy's?" Cole asked.
"You mean the karaoke club on the south side?" Zane asked.
Luke soon stopped laughing when he realised he told them about the name of their hideout as Gewuji chuckled out of victory. "Who's the sucker now?" She asked. "Good thing I didn't tell him about my fear of singing!" She soon realised. "Oh, crap! Zane, Cole, can we please get out of here?"
She quickly stood up, bumping the table upward and knocking over the cup that was close to Luke, causing tea to spill on his crotch, causing him to get up, knocking the chair down, backed away, and groaned just as Zane, Cole and Gewuji start to leave the room. "Argh, this is gonna make me look like I pissed my pants!" He yelled as he looked down at it before looking at Gewuji. "I'm sending you the dry cleaning bill, Crystal Ninja!"
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I'll have someone clean that up!" They quickly leave the room and Luke groaned while looking at his tea stained pants.
"Great." He sarcastically spoke to himself.
Outside the interrogation room, Gewuji was breathing heavily with Zane and Cole comforting her from her slip-up just as Clive came up to them. "Everything okay?" He asked.
"Yes, we're just fine, Officer Ligar." Zane replied.
"Just a little spill inside." Cole said.
"It happened when I accidentally bumped into the table!" Gewuji said. "Now he'll probably not want to talk to anyone anymore!"
"That's okay, Gewuji." They immediately take off.
"We have what came for anyway." Zane said as they leave through the doors while Clive watched them leave.
