Disclaimer: I do not own King of the Hill.
After nearly a two month hiatus the second season of Werewolf of the Hill continues with the second episode.
In this chapter I'm going to introduce a character that I'm planning on making a recurring one so I hope you like them. P.S. Congratulations on those who figured out my reference to the Great Chicago Fire in the previous chapter.
Almost three weeks have pasted since Bobby defeated the gargoyle with help from his friends Berry and Cameron, along with Jade's idea to burn down the warehouse. Bobby was spending his Friday night hanging out with his friends at the first football game of the season where their school Arlen High had a huge lead over Belton.
"Great team Arlen has this year." stated Hank who was sitting with his friends a few rows behind Bobby
"Yep." Bill agreed
Boomhauer nodded his head in agreement.
"Even though my son Joseph is the reason we're winning, I'm still surprised Belton showed up," Dale said, "considering that there are monsters in this town."
Hank shook his head in frustration.
"Dale, can you please just enjoy the damn game and stop talking about imaginary monsters."
"You'll think they're imaginary when one of them is eating Bill alive."
"I don't want to get eaten." Bill screamed loudly
Everyone who was sitting within ten feet of him drew their attention away from the game and stared at Bill, including Bobby and his friends. While everyone else turned away after a few seconds Bobby kept his eyes on Dale who was staring back at him.
"I still can't believe Mr. Gribble found out my secret." Bobby said to Berry and Cameron after turning back around
"Don't worry about him, he's too incompetent to pose as a real threat ." Berry explained
"Well, he might be but I know there is at least one other monster hunter in town that is a threat."
"Where is Jade exactly?" Berry wondered
"She's at the hospital visiting her father." Cameron informed
Bobby sat there feeling guilty for he knew that it was because of him that her father was in a coma. He got up then began to make his way down the stands.
"Where are you going?" Berry asked
"I'm going to the concession stand to get something."
Berry and Cameron watched as a depressed Bobby walked off.
"He shouldn't beat himself over what Iago did to Jade's father." Berry said
"Iago, that's the demon that tried to kill Bobby's dad and kidnapped Jade right?" Cameron asked trying to get her facts straight
"Yeah."
"I know I've been completely supportive after Bobby told me that he was a werewolf but I'm still having trouble grasping that the supernatural really exist."
"I've believed in the supernatural my entire life and I still can't believe it."
"I hope that this rift between Bobby and Jade ends soon."
Bobby returned a short time later and the game soon ended with Arlen High coming out the winners and everyone began to leave. Hank, Bobby, Berry, and Cameron all headed to Hank's truck when he spotted something on the bumper, it was a sticker that read MIN FOR MAYOR.
"Damn it, Dale." Hank swore before getting into his truck
Hank drove out of the parking lot and headed towards Berry's house. After dropping off Berry, Hank headed towards Cameron's house which was empty because Allison was still at work.
"You sure you'll be fine until your mother gets home?" Hank asked out of concern
"I'm use to it." Cameron informed before getting out of the truck
"Well, see you later than and tell your mother I said hello."
"Okay, bye."
Bobby moved to the front seat while Hank waited to for Cameron to get into her house safely. Once Cameron was inside Hank put the truck in drive and started to head home. On their way they drove past the First Bank of Arlen which always closes early on Fridays during football season and unbeknownst to them the bank at that very moment was in the process of being robbed. Two figures had broken into the bank, deactivated the alarms, opened the vault, and made their way to the safe deposit boxes. They had broken into several of these boxes and took what were inside of them. Then one of the thieves got on to their knees as they attempted to pick the lock of a very important box.
"Well you hurry up," one of the thieves whispered, "I have a feeling we might get caught."
"Almost got it." the person picking the lock said
"Good, get that thing open so we can get out of here."
It took some time but the door unlocked which they immediately opened then took out the long metal box which they opened and took something out. They turned to their partner and chuckled before the both of them ran out of the vault, through the lobby where the person who opened the box reached into their pocket and tossed something on to the floor, then they proceeded out the doors. Once outside the street lamps showed that the duo was a man and woman, the man was 6 ft tall with light brown hair and blue while the woman was 5'8 with short red hair and brown eyes both were wearing the standard black burglar outfit. The man was holding an old leather pouch in his right hand as the couple ran off into the darkness, once they got back to their hideout which was an abandoned apartment building they laid the items they stole on an old table in the middle of the room. Among the items were old coins, rings, necklaces, at least three thousand dollars in single dollar bills, the man however refused to put the pouch on the table.
"Can't believe you, Seth," the woman complained while revealing the man's name, "we break into this bank and the only thing you steal is a dirty old leather pouch."
"Relax, Ava," Seth said, "I promise you that the item in this beg is worth more than anything on this table."
"You better be right for we've already broken into three museums, five different collector's homes, and at least two other banks looking for something you won't even tell me what it is."
Seth opened the pouch then reached inside to pull out a large blue sapphire gem. Ava became stunned by the gem's beauty causing her eyes to widened.
"This is darling, is luck."
Ava didn't understand what Seth meant by that statement.
"What are you talking about?"
"According to legend this gem brings who ever holds it a vast amount of luck."
"You told you that?" Ava asked
"I've heard about this gem since my childhood from my father," Seth revealed, "he told me that everyone who has ever held this gem had unbelievable luck, they either struck oil where no one else did, succeeded in the stock market, survived wars without a single injury, and the list goes on."
"If it so lucky then how did it end up in a deposit box in a bank in a small Texas town?" Ava questioned the gem's powers
"Tonight probably wasn't the first time somebody stole it."
"So what you are planning on doing now since you finally have the gem."
"I'm going to put it to the test tomorrow night by stealing from one of the wealthiest men in Arlen."
"Who would that be exactly."
(Saturday 8:15 a.m. The Hill Residence)
The sun had only been up for an hour and Hank was already up, showered, dressed, and eating breakfast when Bobby walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Bobby" Hank greeted his son
Bobby mumbled as he walked over to the cabinet to get himself a bowl of cereal. After getting the milk from the fridge Bobby sat down at the table where he slowly poured the milk into the bowl.
"Great game last night uh?" Hank asked trying to get a conversation started
"It was okay, except for when Mr. Gribble cheered every time they mentioned Joseph's name."
"You know how proud Dale is of Joseph."
"I bet he wouldn't try to kill him if he was a monster." Bobby said muttered
The Hills finished up their breakfast then each went on to do their own things. Hank was going to the hardware store to get some more nails after he used them all to repair his fence that got damaged when the brakes on Bill's car failed. Bobby spent the next several hours at home, then when one o'clock came around Bobby received a phone call from Berry who told that on his way to the bookstore he stopped at the bank when he saw the police investigating what he assumed was a robbery. Without wasting time Bobby got up, ran outside, got into his car and left. Twenty one minutes later Bobby arrived at the bank where the crime scene had drawn a large crowd, he scanned the crowd until he spotted Berry who waved at him.
"What's going on?" Bobby asked when he got closer to Berry
"Not sure, all I can tell is that someone broke in last night."
At that moment a blue car pulled up and two men got out, the man who was driving was 6'1 with black hair wearing a dark grey suit with a dark blue tie. The other man was a little shorter standing at 5'11 with light brown hair dressed in a black suit with a black tie. The two men made their way through the crowd and approached the officers on scene. Bobby was curious who these two men were so he decided this would be a good chance to use his heightened werewolf hearing.
"Hello," the black-haired man greeted, "I'm Detective Greg Stokes and this is my partner Detective Alan Chase."
The officer looked at the badges and noticed that the men were from out-of-town.
"What brings you here from Dallas?" the officer asked
"A case we've been working on for over a year." Stokes informed
"You have an idea about whose behind this robbery?"
"We do," Chase spoke up whose accent the officer could was Australian, "judging by how easily the security got deactivated and according to your chief the investigators found some sand on the lobby floor."
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"That sand is the calling card of Seth Ryker, a criminal we've tried to capture for over a year."
"There is no way one man could do this job alone."
"Seth has an accomplice, a woman by the name of Ava McKay, we think that she might be his girlfriend."
"The old Bonnie and Clyde act."
"Yes and like Bonnie and Clyde they are very dangerous," Stokes informed, "that is why we are taking over this case."
"I'm afraid you don't have any jurisdiction in Arlen."
"Then I suggest you call your chief who I promise you will tell you that until these two are behind bars, Detective Chase and I are in charge."
The officer stood there speechless as Chase and Stokes walked passed him and walked inside the bank to get a better look at the crime scene. Bobby couldn't believe what he heard for once since he became a werewolf a crime has happened in this town that has nothing to do with the supernatural.
"What did you hear?" Berry asked
"Put your bike in my car and I'll tell you on the way back to my house."
Is it just me or does Bobby seem excited about the robbery? Stay tuned to find out more. Now the reason for the hiatus is because my life has become so busy and I decided to make some changes to this season plus I'm working on a new story which is a multiple crossover that is a parody of the Sly Cooper video game series, so feel free to check it out.
