Contiguesly the doorbell rang. Officer Tom jumped and looked around the bedroom. Boss glanced toward the door and thought, Whoever is at the door better save me or Mike...preferably Mike... I swear! Why do I care about him more than myself right now?
Officer Tom glared at Boss with his demented eyes and threatened, "If you make one noise, I will blow your head off in front of them. Then I'll blow off theirs." "Yes, sir," Boss whispered as Officer Tom unlocked the door and exited. He then locked it from the outside.
Officer Tom walked down the hallway and into the living room. He put his paw on the doornob and thought hastily, If this is Bob, he has got me good. But you never know...it could be someone else...like... Officer Tom opened the door and jumped. "Hamtaro! What are you doing here at this time?" he shouted in surprise.
Hamtaro looked at Officer Tom and responded, "Well, I gotta have a place to stay for the night. It's only about eight o'clock. The others went over to Officer Bob's to spend the night. They didn't want to come with me." "No?" he exagerated. "OK, Hamtaro. Why don't you come inside? It's sorta chilly out here." "Yes, sir," Hamtaro whispered as he stepped into Officer Tom's house.
Hamtaro looked around as Officer Tom closed and locked the front door. "Don't want anyone coming in or going out...," he whispered as Hamtaro questioned, "Heke?" "Oh, nothing," he replied smoothly as his demented eyes and twisted grin came back to him. He grinned eternally as he twitched all over.
A minute passed as Hamtaro looked around the living room. There's no obvious signs that Boss nor Mike are here, he thought. "Can I have something to eat?" he asked Officer Tom. "Sure," he responded. "...After a little while...that is..." "Heke?" Hamtaro inquired as he looked down the hallway. "Where is a room I can stay in?" "I dunno...," Officer Tom stated as he thought of that question. Maybe he could sleep in my bed with me..., he recalled as he thought of Boss already in there.
Officer Tom looked at Hamtaro and said, "Why don't you sit down on the couch?" Hamtaro nodded as he sat down on it. Officer Tom sat down next to him and asked, "What do you think about it? Tell me who you think it is. Don't worry, you'll solve this one." "Officer Tom," Hamtaro whispered. "...I don't know if I should tell you what someone told me..." "Tell me everything you know," Officer Tom pressured as he pressed up against Hamtaro and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "Tell me what you think of this." "Officer Tom," Hamtaro whispered, "Officer Bob told me something about you. He told me you were something. ...A...pedophile... What does that mean?"
