You already know I don't own it.



That day Kanifky assigned Bonkers and Miranda to watch over the inmates scine the guard who did the day shift was sick and couldn't come in.

"I hate going down to the prison! The inmates are all scary looking!" Bonkers whined.

"I know what you mean, Bonkers. I hate going down there, but what can we do? Someone's got to watch them until the night guard comes in." Miranda said.

Bonkers sighed and followed Miranda down to the prison. The inmates were shocked to them instead of the usual guard. Some gave them hard looks causing Bonkers to cling on to Miranda's leg. Miranda sighed and picked Bonkers up. The inmates began to laugh at Bonkers' scared face. Bonkers in turn, stuck his tongue out at them, but put it back in his mouth when he the look of disapproval on Miranda's face.

"Don't worry, Bonkers. They're behind bars where they can't hurt you." Miranda said.

"I know, but I can't help it. Some of them did try to kill me and Lucky, you know. My physical strenght doesn't do much against weapons." Bonkers said.

Miranda put Bonkers down and they went into the lobby.

"Relax, Bonkers. It's not like you have to actually interact with the inmates. You're not gonna open their cells to let them out, so don't worry." Miranda said.

"Okay, I'll try." Bonkers said.

Miranda and Bonkers sat down and began to watch the monitors, when the door bell rang and someone came in. Miranda and Bonkers turned their heads to find a man walking up them. He was tall, about 6 foot, skinny, with blonde hair. He was wearing a long black trench coat that covered all but his black boots. He was wearing dark sunglasses, so his couldn't be distinughed.

"Hi. Can we help you?" Miranda asked.

"Yes. I'm here to visit an inmate by the name of Collector." the man said.

Bonkers lifted an eyebrow at him in question. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something was strangely familiar about him.

"What do you wanna see him for?" Bonkers asked suspiouscly.

"Bonkers! You shouldn't talk to our guest like that!" Miranda exclaimed.

"Well I'm sorry, but Collector was the most dangerous me and Lucky ever faced! He nearly got us killed, you know!" Bonkers exclaimed.

The man chuckled.

"That's quite alright, my fine toon. Please, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Damian Sanchez. As you may know from your encounter with him, he is a hybrid. I was a very close friend of his before he went, shall we say 'insane in the membrane'. It's taken me several years to find him. I didn't even know he had become a hybrid. I only wish to pay him a short visit." Damain said.

"A hybrid? What do you mean?" Miranda asked.

"Collector's half human-half toon, Miranda. I don't know how he managed to pull it off and live, but it drove him nutty than you would believe." Bonkers said.

"That bad, huh?" Miranda asked.

"You better believe it, sister." Bonkers said.

Miranda raised a question eyebrow at Bonkers.

"His real name is Adrian." Damian said.

Miranda's eyes went wide.

"What's his last name? Miranda asked.

Damian sighed.

"I'm sorry, but I don't quite remember. I'll be sure to ask him, that is, if he even remembers himself. Why do you ask?" Damain asked.

"Oh, no reason. I just knew someone back in highschool by the name of Adrian, that's all." Miranda said.

"Weel, I don't think this is the Adrian that you knew, officer. I'm sure he would have remembered you. He never forgets a face, you see." Damain said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Well, we're going to have to search you before we can let you go in." Miranda said.

"Of course." Damian said.

Damian took off his his trench coat and gave it to Miranda to search. He then took off his boots and turned them upside down to prove that there was nothing in them. Bonkers than lightly patted his pant legs and nodded at Miranda. After finding nothing, Miranda gave the coat back to Damian, and stamped his hand. She gave him a plastic bracelet, to show that he was just a visitor.

"Thank you for your patience Mr. Sanchez. You may go in now." Miranda said.

"Thank you very much." Damian said.

He looked at Bonkers with a rather strange grin on his face. Bonkers shuddered.

~Where have I seen that grin, before? something's not right about this guy. I've got a bad feeling about this whole thing.~

"Do not worry, my dear toon. I will take great care." Damian said.

~I could care less if Collector really does kill your ass. Okay, that's really mean, I know, but I sence something really bad about this guy. I feel as if I know him, if I could a only put my finger on it.~

"I'm sure you will, Mr. Sanchez." Bonkers said giving him a fake grin.

Bonkers stepped aside and allowed Damian to walk through. When Damain was out of the lobby, Bonkers growled low in his throat. Miranda tilted her head in confusion.

~What does Bonkers have against that guy? He seems like a nice enough nice to me. Did he do something in the past to make Bonkers so angry? Could that be what was too personal for Bonkers to tell me?~

Miranda stepped up and placed a hand on Bonkers' shoulder. Bonkers realized he was growling and looked up at Miranda with an embarressed look on his face.

"You know, you weren't very nice to him. What do have against that guy?" Miranda asked.

Bonkers sighed.

"I really don't know, Miranda. He just reminds me of someone I knew a couple years ago. He wasn't the nice guy in the world, to say the absolute least. The fact that he's here to see Collector of all people...err... toons... err... well, you know what I mean. It just makes me really suspicious. No one has come to see Collector in the last two years that he was here. How do I know? I was assigned to keep track of his progress here. Chief said that and I qoute "since you toons understand eachother Bonkers, you should be the one to look after him." I'm sorry about the way I acted, I really am. It's just that I have a really bad feeling about that guy. He wouldn't even let us see his face, for crying out loud!" Bonkers exclaimed.

Miranda sighed and sat down.

"I know. I didn't like him too much, myself. But there's nothing we can do. He4's just visiting. Unless we can prove that he really is up to something, than we have no choice but to leave him alone." Miranda said.

"I feel so tempted to just go in there and listen in on their conversation." Bonkers said.

Miranda shook her head and sighed.

"Now Bonkers. You know very well that you can't do that. You may lose your job if you get caught. Believe me, it's worth getting yourself into trouble." Miranda said.

"Yeah, you're right Miranda. I'm sorry, I really am. I'm just real jumpy lately. Not to mention a little tired." Bonkers said.

"I know the feeling. Now, let's get back to work before anyone sees us." Miranda said.

Bonkers nodded and sat down on Miranda's lap to continue watching the monitors.
