Hours passed as the police officers had surrounded the gunman and luckily for the police officers, the assailant passed out onto the ground and three officers came to him to inspect him. They found the gun that he had on him but they also smelled a strong scent of alcohol on him.
"Gunman is down. Repeat, gunman is down. We found a Desert Eagle handgun on the suspect." said one of the officers over the walkie talkie.
They smelled the strong odor coming from the now unconscious gunman and their noses wrinkled a little.
"Suspect appears to be intoxicated. Sobriety test needed." said another officer.
As time ticked by. The officers took the unconscious gunman and put in the back of the police car with him hand-cuffed. More officers were talking to the teachers and students of the Hula dancing school to see if any of them knew anything that they didn't know. So far, the students didn't know anything as they only said they were told not to go outside. The teachers told them that the young boy that came in advised them to call the police, keep the kids inside and away from the windows. Lilo even told them what she saw and heard but left out the fact that the boy seem to know her name and anything that was considered alien.
"We would like to ask the kid some questions. Where is he?" asked one of the officers.
They all turned and they didn't see the boy. They didn't see him anywhere inside.
"Young man! The police are here and they want to go over something with you!" called out Mr. Puloki.
Stitch managed to sniff the air and was sniffing out the teenager's scent as he suddenly made it look like he was pointing like a dog would stand up and point at something that he found as if tracking something. They found out that Stitch was pointing towards the stage or at least backstage.
"Young man! Your not in any trouble. We just want to talk." called the officer.
Lilo walked towards the stage and was able to see the teenager hiding backstage when she was looking at the far left of the stage when she stood at the far right.
"Your not in any trouble. It's alright to come out." called Lilo.
"E hele pū me aʻu?" called the teenager.
"Sure." answered Lilo.
The young male teenager suddenly peaked out from backstage and he saw Lilo from a distance while also seeing everyone else. He walked out from backstage and went to Lilo's side. Lilo led him to the officers as if to support him or to comfort him as the boy was not appearing very confident. They stood in front of the police men as the boy still had his sunglasses on. Even the officers were surprised by how the boy looked. It seemed as though everything about his body and appearance was perfect. His skin was perfectly flawless, so was his hair and face.
"Young man. Can you tell us how you found out this man had a gun or anything that led up to the incident?" asked one of the officers.
The young boy looked at Lilo and Stitch and both of them nodded once as if to let him know that he's in no trouble at all and to reassure him. He faced the officers and finally spoke.
"I can't say it with any kids nearby. Some of it's very graphic." said the boy warning them.
He got closer to the police officers and took them aside as it looked like he pulled them aside and started to whisper in their ears as if explaining everything to them by whispering it into their ears as a means of not letting Lilo or any kids hear about the graphic descriptions of the events that he witnessed that the police officers needed to know. Everything he whispered to them left them wide eyed and visibly shaken. After he took a step back, the officers were looking as though what they heard was new to them.
"Is that everything?" asked one of the officers.
"Some of what that suspect said...was kind of misogynistic and prejudice." replied another.
"I I did say it was graphic and I apologize for those words as I'm just telling you what you need to know and what that gunman said." the boy apologized kindly.
"It's alright, young man. But we'll take your word for it when you told us not to repeat it to the kids." said one of the officers.
"Understood sir." he told them.
The officers shook hands with him and left the building. After they left, that's when the boy let out a sigh of relief. Before Lilo could talk to the boy, that's when both Jumba and Pleakley entered the building as they were both curious to what was going on outside.
"What happened outside? Human police are having a field day." said Jumba.
"Looks like someone got arrested. Sounds brutal." replied Pleakley.
"Someone who was armed wandered nearby and was up to no good. He almost hurt people. A bit of a long story." answered Lilo.
"Everyone's alright?" asked Pleakley looking worried.
"All in one piece." the boy answered.
Both Jumba and Pleakley looked at the boy and when they saw his beautifully perfect and flawless appearance. They were taken by surprise while Pleakley was blushing with a grin by the sight of him. Even though Pleakley and Jumba were both wearing wigs and Jumba was wearing some glasses to make it look like he's got two eyes instead of four.
"Whoa, whose this babe magnet?" said Pleakley flirting.
"Too young for you but I appreciate the compliment." said the boy sheepishly.
"I take it that Lilo made a new friend." replied Jumba.
"They your uncles?" the boy asked Lilo.
"Yes, they're not from Hawaii but you can say that we at one time didn't know the other existed a while back and once we did, we decided to get to know each other and be closer in living standards." Lilo told him. "I didn't get your name yet."
"Emba-chua." said Stitch.
"I'm Malcolm." the boy introduced himself. "I don't mean to be an inconvenience or anything but I need a lift. So could I ride with you guys?"
They saw that Malcolm was not only being kind but also polite as he looked as though he had no means of transportation, unless walking anywhere on foot counted.
"Sure, but the vehicle we're driving is a little different than most. So always remember to buckle up." advised Jumba.
"Yes sir." said Malcolm.
The four led Malcolm outside and that's when they walked him towards the X-Buggy which looked like a tricked out Meyers Manx. The five of them walked over to the car and got into the seats, it looked like Jumba modified something as there was an extra seat. All of them buckled their seat belts. Lilo was in the passenger's seat while Jumba was in the driver's seat while both Stitch, Pleakley and Malcolm were in the back. Pleakley was still giving flirtatious eyes towards Malcolm which left him blushing deeper.
"You got quite the full head of gorgeous locks. Just like a lion's mane. I'd hook you up with a gorgeous one and I wouldn't mind if anyone knows it." chuckled Pleakley. "I know your younger than me but this is just how I normally am. It's not always flirting, I'm like this with others. Especially with the silly, evil genius in the front."
"I'm not so silly as people expect. I'm still a bit of an evil genius, well, a little." said Jumba slightly arguing with the notion. "Also Malcolm, we're making a pit stop to home to drop off little girl and Stitch."
"Stitch would be the little blue furred creature?" asked Malcolm.
"Emba-chua." answered Stitch.
Jumba started the car and after he put the key into the right motion. The car started and they drove off. The car seemed to be like a convertible as the top was down. Malcolm's hair was flowing beautifully in the wind as they drove from one road or street to another.
"Who does your hair?" asked Pleakley.
"No one. This is how my hair always looks." answered Malcolm.
"Oh? So would it be like something that's genetic like how family genetics work?" asked Pleakley curiously.
"I have no idea." Malcolm replied.
Pleakley was a bit surprised to hear that Malcolm had no knowledge about his hair and genetics if it were genetics running in a family. It didn't take them too long to make it to Lilo's home as the car was parked underneath the deck of the house. They all got out of the car and walked out of the vehicle. But when they walked towards the steps, Lilo stopped them to get their attention.
"Guys, there's something about Malcolm I'm curious about." said Lilo.
Malcolm blushed and felt a slight bit of fear rushing through him while they were looking right at him with curiosity.
"Is little boy allergic to something?" asked Jumba curiously.
"No, when he first talked to me today, it felt there were times when he was talking to me but his mouth and lips weren't moving." Lilo blurted out.
They all were surprised to hear this. Especially Jumba and Pleakley. Malcolm wasn't feeling comfortable about this topic that was brought up about him.
"You mean he's telepathic?" asked Jumba looking interested.
"It was like he was talking to me in my head and only I could hear him. He was asking me to help him but that was when their was a crazy person out there when police officers were called." Lilo explained to them.
"Malcolm, is Lilo telling the truth?" asked Pleakley.
He was silent for a moment and he nodded as he knew lying to them was a bad idea. His heart and mind raced a bit. Jumba shown a bit of compassion as he could sense the boy's fear.
"Malcolm, is there something you need to tell us? Where did you say you needed a lift?" asked Jumba kindly.
The boy let out a cough that almost looked like he was trying to hide a chuckle. He was silent as if he didn't know how to answer him. They all were sensing something wasn't right.
"Malcolm, where are your parents?" asked Lilo concerned.
Malcolm reached to take his sunglasses off and he revealed his eyes to them. He had gold colored eyes that were close to amber color like the eyes of a lion. He had a look of sadness in his eyes but tried to look stoic.
"I don't know." Malcolm answered finally.
"Is there anyone out there looking after you? Or even a home you go to?" asked Pleakley starting to worry.
That was when the boy took off from them but he stopped when he reached ten feet. They followed him but stopped when they were only five feet away from him but to their surprise, that's when Malcolm let out a loud and mighty lion like roar and the roar sounded so real that it sounded like a real lion. His roar was at first sounding like rage but than quickly turned to roars of sorrow. They never knew he had the ability to roar like a lion but they never knew any human that could.
"Crabba snabba." said Stitch sadly.
"I think we have our answer." Pleakley replied.
Pleakley was the first to rush over to him and pulled Malcolm in for a hug in his arms as tears ran down his cheeks while Jumba, Lilo and Stitch immediately joined in. They knew this meant that for some reason, Malcolm had no home, no one looking after him and he had no idea where his parents are. They knew they had to do something as they had some options and plenty of them were running through their minds in order to help the poor, grieving boy. They even had questions popping into their heads as they had no idea how he could roar like a lion, why his eye color resembles that of a lion's eyes and how he was able to communicate with others minds.
