Mr. Narrator shifted his weight as the last of the backup came, in total there were five officers and him now. Buttercup had joined them now, so it was a seven person troupe going in for a big bust.

Buttercup lead the way, she could see the van's past image going down the badly wooded dirt road. They were spread out and very alert with each step they took, about a half an mile in they stopped to check the body of a man in a black cult-like robe. Ruiji knew this guy was the shooter, from the looks of it the poor jerk fell over or tripped than bleed to death.

They kept going afterwards, there were no shocks and/or surprises for the next half mile until they reach the end of the road. In front of them is a huge body of water and a T-junction road, Buttercup could see the past vision of the van just keep going forward while a small ship wait for them. They drove on than took off across the water from there to a place across the shore.

"The trail ends here," Buttercup said. "They got into a flat bedded boat than went over there."

Ruiji looked across the lake, he noticed something unusual. "Hang on a minute," he used his far sight than saw a very faded vision that was badly blurred. He knew there was someone on over there, they were just out of range. "Ha! Someone is over there, now someone's just gotta sneak over there to find out who...." Ruiji looked around, they were all looking at him. "It's me, isn't it?"

"Pretty much," a guy said.

Another man, one with white hair, was carrying a backpack with some equipment. He reached in and pulled out a cube with a pull string, walking down to the water's edge the man placed the cube into the water than pulled to cord. Within seconds a raft was inflated, the man than riffle around again to pull out a small bottle and a cloth. "Here, you may not know when you might need to knock out someone out silently."

Ruiji nodded as he placed the items into his pocket before boarding the raft. He pushed off and was in the water heading for the hidden mansion.

--1--

He hates it when he was right, there was someone there. A guard at the edge of the "abandoned" mansion, Ruiji was lucky that it was dark and there was underbrush to avoid being pumped full of holes by the machine gun wielding guard.

Taking a deep breath Ruiji slowly got out of the raft near the guard behind some bushes, he tied up the raft quickly before sneaking to the back of the mansion. He stopped cold as he almost ran into another guard with his back turned to him, he was lucky the guy hadn't noticed him yet.

Ruiji reached into his pocket and brought out the bottle and the rag, he silently soaked the rag. His heart was going a mile a minute as he wrapped a arm around the guard's neck than press the rag against his mouth, within seconds the guard fell to the ground.

Ruiji knew if he snuck inside without a disguise than he would be shred to noodles, well it was time for a quick stripping of the guard and taking his clothes ploy.

Ruiji dragged the knocked out guard into the bushes, moments later he emerged with the robe on with the hood covering his face.

Taking in a deep breath he went for a near by window, hoping it was open and didn't squeak he pressed up. Locked. The next window he did the same, again, locked. The final window he really didn't have much hope for, as it was also locked.

Damn, Ruiji thought. He peeked around the corner to see the armed guard was still where he was, Ruiji tapped into his sight to see if there was any other guards. There was none, Ruiji moved quickly with the rag he used on the last guard to subdue this one.

The front of the building was now clear, he was careful as he walked up to the doors. His hand was shaking as it grasped the knob, within seconds he expected the entire gang to pile onto him and tear him apart. What he didn't expect was a empty hall and a sign saying Welcome to brotherhood of carnage.

Ruiji shrugged, he tried a door to the left of him. This lead into a small room filled with six other robe people and Him standing before a chalkboard. "You're late," Him snapped.

"Uh, sorry," Ruiji said while disguising his voice so he wouldn't get caught. He closed the door and stood by the wall wanting to be out of this situation so bad.

"Alright my little followers," Him said in his cheery voice. "We will go over the plan, one," Him tapped his claw against the chalkboard. "We invade the water filtering plant and use the finger prints of the senator to get into the main part of the plant, here we pour a small amount of mixed chemicals into the water. This will result in many deaths." Him tapped his claw against the chalkboard again. "Two, the people will turn the law enforcement for answers. Here we will strategically place chemical bombs around the buildings than blow them up. This will cause much chaos." Him tapped his claw again. "Three, we let people riot in the streets before we go in to take over. We will be more prepared and better armed than them, we will enlist more people into our brotherhood and take over the city!"

"Great plan," a man said. Ruiji realized who it was, Harry Theyson, the deputy mayor of Citysville.

"It can't fail," another robed member said.

"Right on!"

"Excuse me," Mr. Narrator said. "I gotta go to the bathroom." Ruiji said before leaving the room, he was trying to fit the pattern into place as he wonder about the mansion.

The Chemist was ether kidnapped or he joined than killed for some reason and his house was stripped to the core, the Chemist was involved because this group of nuts needed a way to get Chemicals without raising too much of a suspicion. Mixing harmless one to make deadly ones.

The senator was killed just for his prints to get into restricted areas, not just at the water plant but the police HQs too.

Dwayne was the informant, Geoff was the supplier of weapons and Daphne was the hit"man". And this maybe the only chance that he will have at stopping them, when he open the last door he did a double take.

There were a lot of unmarked chemical barrels, he guessed this is where they were storing the chemicals. Not a smart place if one would ask him but at the moment he wonder if he could use this to his advantage, he looked over the barrel wondering how to use them.

In his pocket he found a flashlight, the rag and the bottle and nothing else, he let out a curse as he slammed a fist on a barrel. He noticed something off about how the sound came out and the way it felt, the top was loose.

He felt around the edge than slowly pulled off the top, within the barrel was a strange chemical that was soaking the body of Pep Edge.

"Poor bastard," Ruiji said. "I don't know what happen for you to be here, but you don't deserve this."

Ruiji sighed, when he open his eyes he realized that he had accidentally dropped the rag into the barrel. The chemicals on the rag must not like whatever is in the barrel because it started a fire.

"Aw, crap!" Ruiji shouted before bolting out of the room and down the hall, the flames coming out of the barrel already spread to it's surroundings.

Ruiji discard the robe, he knew that dangerous Chemicals plus fire and/or heat equals bad. He ran for the raft and quickly got into it, behind him smoke rose from the burning side of the house as he shoved off.

Across the lake the team was watching everything they could with binoculars, Ruiji was half way across the lake when Him appeared outside the house in a puff of smoke.

Him was looking around and talking to Ducky before disappearing again, well at least they know he was involved with whatever it was.

Ruiji finally made it to the shore and the others helped him out of the raft, the house was engulfed in a fireball. This wasn't going to look too good on the report.

--2--

The chief had received the full report, he was wondering how those murderers tied together. But he still has a job to do, he sign the forms and sent them over to the official police, it was only a matter of time before Him was in authority hands and serving prison time.

He smiled as he recalled Townsville has finally made a cell that can hold Him.

--F--

"And in other news," the reporter said as she shuffled a few papers on the desk. "Today super villain Him was apprehended by authorities for conspiring to take over Townsville, detail are sketchy but it is reported that deputy mayor of Citysville Harry Theyson was involved."

Ruiji let out a small chuckle, he lean back on the couch in the dark room. He was happy with just a week's suspension for the accident, he already pay the rent. So no worried there, now it was just a matter of stretching his traveling budget and food budget a little.

It was just another day in the life of Ruiji Narrator, Psychic Detective.
