Chapter 10 Crazy Man Solves it Again
" I can't believe I let you talk me into this." Sharona said into her walkie-talkie as she paddled her way towards the house of Daniel Monk.
" You have to do this, Sharona. You're my only hope. Just - just don't drop the walkie-talkie in the water or anything." Adrian said as he stirred the spaghetti noodles on his stove in his comfortable, warm cabin.
Sharona, however, was far from being comfortable or warm. " I'm not stupid, Adrian. I know the walkie-talkie won't work if it's in water."
" No, no that's not it. It - It's just then I'd have the sanitize it. That water is so - ugh." Adrian said disgusted just by thinking about the lake water.
" Listen, Adrian, I can't stay over here long. I have a kid to watch you know."
" I know. I know. But you have to stay until I can figure out why Jupar would want to frame Daniel. Then we've got him."
" I hope you're right."
" When am I not?" Adrian asked happily adding a few spices to his spaghetti sauce.
@*@*@*@*@*@*@
" Sharona! What a pleasant surprise! Come in! Come in! What's that you've got there?" Daniel greeted as he lead Sharona into his house.
The night was falling in and Sharona reluctantly followed Daniel into the house and sat down hopeing Benji was alright. She explained to Daniel about the walkie-talkie and then asked if Jupar would've had any reason to want to get revenge on him.
" Well, I'm not sure..." Daniel said, thinking as he talked. " Is he the skinny one with the big ears?"
Sharona thought. Then she turned on her walkie-talkie. " Adrian? Yeah, Daniel wants to know if Jupar is the skinny one with the big ears."
Adrian stirred his noodles some more. " No. No, he's has a round head and flat feet."
" He said Jupar is the one with a round head and flat feet."
" Give me that." Daniel said. Sharona handed him the walkie-talkie. " You mean he has round feet and a flat head right?"
" No, Daniel, he - Jupar is the one with a pierced ear."
" They both have a pierced ear!"
" His right ear is pierced."
" Both of their right ears are pierced!" Daniel said almost shouting. " What are you trying to find anyway? What do you want from me?"
Adrian tasted his sauce and said, " Hmm - more salt."
Daniel became confused, " More salt? You want more salt from me? Very funny, Adrian."
" No, I was talking about my dinner."
" Sure."
" Daniel, you - you have to help me here. I have to solve this case or I go to jail." Adrian said pleading.
" Well, okay. I'll tell you about what happened to me last month. I'll be a good brother to you."
Adrian tasted his spaghetti again. " Oh - yuck! That is disgusting! Ugh!"
" What?!" Daniel said angrily not realizing Adrian was refering to the sauce.
" No, not - not you, Daniel. I wasn't talking to you." Adrian said giving up on his dinner. " What happened last month?"
" Well, I was out riding in my boat and I saw either Jupar or Huleo coming over to my house to check on my boat engine. So I tried to stir back to my dock. I guess he was going a little faster than I thought because we crashed together and he had to make a whole new engine for me. Plus, he was the one who caused the crash so he had to pay for it."
" Well, that would've made me a little mad." Adrian said. " Which one was that - Jupar or Huleo?"
" Now how am I suppose to know that? They're like twins."
" No, Jupar always has scruff marks on his shoes and is slightly tanner then Huelo who always wears over-alls with two holes in the top pocket."
" Oh, like anyone else would know that, Mr. Clean."
" Daniel - I -" Adrian stopped. He heard voices outside of his cabin. It was mumbled, but Adrian could hear the thick Spainish accent and knew instantly who it was. " Daniel? Daniel, you need to do something for me."
" Well, what'd you want me to do?" Daniel asked curiously.
" Tell Sharona to come back here as soon as possible. Make sure she brings Captain Stottlemeyer with her."
" Captain who? What are doing? What's going on?"
" Shush! Just - just do what I said alright?" Adrian said peeking out of the window. He saw what he figured he'd see - Jupar dressed in black getting ready to break into Adrian's cabin.
" Okay, Adrian. Whatever you say."
@*@*@*@*@*@*@
Jupar stood quietly on the doorstop. As soon as Adrian was done talking on his walkie-talkie, he'd be completely unguarded. He'd told the guard earlier that he'd be watching Adrian that night. It was all planned. All he had to do was get into the cabin and illminate the loose end....
He heard the click off the walkie-talkie. Adrian had turned it off. This was his chance. He reached for the door handle....
" Ahhhh!"
Jupar tripped backward. He fell on his tail bone and looked up amazed at what he saw. Adrian looked insane. He was shaking a pan in his right hand and holding a bug-swatter in the other. He immediately started to swat Jupar, shouting at the top off his lungs.
" What the - what's your problem? You crazy? Crazy man! Crazy man stay away from me! Crazy man!" Jupar yelled in his Spainish accent. He tried a number of attempts to stand up and run but each time he was forced back down by Adrian's mighty thwacks.
" You thougt you'd get away with it didn't you? Killing an old man just because you didn't want to do his work for free. And framing my brother because you were angry about paying his bill to fix his engine. And you call yourself a U.S. citizen!"
" Please! Crazy man stay away! Crazy man!"
Just then a speed boat arrived occupying Captain Stottlemeyer, Lieutenant Disher, Sharona, Daniel, and a few police officers. They took Jupar away after Adrian explained that he'd murdered Mr. Tithers and framed him all because of revenge.
Jupar was stilled babbling on about 'Crazy Man' as helped him into the car. " They deserved it! No one treats us Mexicans like equals! Think we can't understand. We do understand. Crazy man!"
" Save it for court, Mr. Garcio." Captain Stottlemeyer said as an officer got into the car and drove away.
Sharona turned to Adrian, " That was bravery, Adrian. It took guts to do that to a murderer. You remained unflinching in your fight to put Jupar behind bars. He might've even had a gun but you stayed on the side of justice. I'm really proud of you Adrian."
" You wanta know the truth?" Adrian asked quietly.
" What?"
" Was scared to death." Adrian said straighting his collar and walking back into his cabin to hang up his pan and bug-swatter.
A.N. Stay tuned everybody! This fic isn't over yet even though it may seem like it! Sorry about the wait. I promise I will finish it. :o)
