Pokemon Detectives: Origins
Chapter Three
Again, I don't own pokemon!
I didn't know what time it was, but my nose was telling me it was breakfast time. I opened my eyes and followed my nose to the kitchen, where I saw brock cooking breakfast. (Is that really a surprise?) I yawned and shook my head, then I said "Good morning, brock!" Brock looked at me with his emerald-green eyes (yes, brock finally has eyes!) and said "Morning, jarrad. I hope you're hungry, because I'm cooking scrambled eggs and hash browns!" I sniffed the air and said "Give me a while to get a shower and dressed, then I'll be ready to eat!" I started back to the guestroom where I slept and I rummaged through some old clothes jenny gave me to wear. I picked out a pair of jean shorts and a white T-shirt. I then walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door. No one answered, so I walked in and started to run the water for my shower.
Five minutes later, I was out of the shower and at the table eating breakfast. I looked at Gary and asked him "Care to explain how you lost him for fifteen minutes last night?" Pikachu said "We lost him because ol' espeon ears there had us stop to get sodas!" Gary said "Well, at least I didn't call the attendant a pain in the butt because he didn't have any ketchup flavored chips!" I said "ALRIGHT! The one thing you guys did was lose him." Then, ash said "Actually, I wasn't with Gary and pikachu at the gas station. I was following the police captain." Jenny said "What did you find out?" Ash said "He was in a bar for about five minutes. I didn't follow him because I'm not old enough. When he came out, he left with some guys who had something put up against his back." I asked "Did it look like a gun?" Ash nodded. I looked at jenny with a look that said "I suspect a kidnapping!" She nodded, then got up and went to the phone on the kitchen counter. She put it to speakerphone and dialed the number for the police station. An officer answered, saying "McKinney Police, how may I help you?" Jenny said "Morning, Steve! Has the chief come in yet?" Steve said "No, he hasn't. This is the first time he hasn't showed up for work." Jenny said "Listen, Talk to the lieutenant about getting an officer to a bar in downtown McKinney." Steve said "Which bar?" Ash said "This bar has a neon sign of a woman dancing right in the window." Steve said "Okay, I'll talk to him. But, Why?" Jenny explained the situation to Steve who was silent for a few seconds before hanging up on us. I said "I think that would be considered suspicious behavior to me, jenny." Misty said "It was kind of weird why he didn't ask for any more information." Jenny said "You're right. Why would he not ask for more information about the captain's disappearance?" Gary said "Maybe he was one of the guys who kidnapped the captain. Maybe he's also going to try and pin it on somebody else." I then made a realization and said "Guys, we had better leave here real soon!" Jenny said "Hey, you don't think steve would try and blame this on us, because he wouldn't!" I said "Can you give me a reason as to why he wouldn't? Jenny, you know he's a suspect. We need to treat him as such. I'm sorry." Meanwhile, at the police station, the officer that jenny was talking to, Steve, was talking to some other officers. "I think that this is getting out of hand! Jenny's gotten too close. And, I didn't think we were being watched last night! But, we need to get them out of the picture. And I know the exact way on how to do it!"
It was 11:25 when I heard police sirens off in the distance. I went to the window and looked out to see the street getting blocked off. I looked back at misty and said "Misty, tell jenny that we need to get out of here. Now!" Misty nodded and went to tell jenny what we needed to do. I looked at the blockade and said "What are these guys up to that they'd go so far as to barricade the street?" Just then, I heard Gary say "Why do we need to leave?" I motioned for Gary to look out the window and he saw the police blocking the street. Just then, I heard jenny say "Jarrad, you mind telling me what's going on here?" I turned to look at her and I said "The McKinney police are blocking off the street." Jenny said "They only do that if there's either one criminal or a group of them." Then, jenny said "They wouldn't dare try to arrest us!" I said "It's a possibility!" Just then, there was a knocking at the door and a voice said "Jenny, this is Lieutenant James Ross. We have you and your friends surrounded! Come out with your hands, or paws, up and release the captain!" I said "Let me talk to them. I'll try to get them to listen."
I walked out the door with my hands up and the lieutenant came up to me and said "Where's the captain?" I said "Please listen to me. The people you think are the kidnappers have been framed. Now if you'll just come inside, you can search the house yourself and you'll see that were not who you think we are. Also, we think we already know who kidnapped the captain!" Lieutenant Ross said "Okay, but the other officers are going to keep in touch with me via my radio." I nodded.
Lieutenant Ross was looking over our notes from when we trailed the captain and said "This is pretty interesting. However, I don't think we can trust you that Steve Collins kidnapped the captain. He's not the type!" I said "Looks can be deceiving, you know! Do you think you can run a background check on him, please?" James said "If it will make you happy, we will. And, I'll make sure to tell you if anything interesting comes up." We all nodded and Lieutenant Collins left.
Back at the McKinney police station, Lieutenant Ross was looking at Steve's background. He said to himself "This doesn't make any sense. The captain says he knows Collins, but according to his background he's got a rap sheet that will get him kicked off the force! He's got arrest warrants ranging form grand theft auto to murder! Looks like that Jarrad kid was right!"
I was waiting by the phone waiting on a phone call. Jenny came in and said "Hey, Jarrad! We're going to go to Collin Creek mall! Do you want to come along?" I said "No, thanks. I need to wait right here in case Mister Ross calls back." Jenny was about to say something when the phone rang. I put it to speakerphone and said "Hello?" The voice said "Jarrad? It's Collins! I found some things that just may prove useful in the case you and your friends have! But, I need you to stay there! I'm in my car on the way to jenny's house right now!" Jenny said "Don't worry, lieutenant! We'll be here waiting!" James said "10-4." and hung up. Jenny said "You think he found proof to put Collins away?" I said "I hope so, girl!"
Steve was showing us the rap sheet he found. I said "Man! This guy definitely needs arrested! But, we need to get him to incriminate himself!" Everyone looked at me and I said "You guys are thinking I should pull an undercover assignment, right?" Jenny nodded. I responded "Anybody know where I can get a revealing outfit?"
That night, I was waiting outside of Applebee's when a man with sandy-brown hair came up to me and asked "Are you Jessica Stevens?" I said "That's me! So, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?" He said "Go ahead." I nodded and pulled out a micro-cassette recorder, and pressed the record button. I asked "What do you think of crooked cops who do whatever they want and don't get in trouble?" He said "That's not relevant to this interview, is it?" I said "It is. Considering your rap sheet could stretch from New York to L.A. and back about four times!" He said "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the cleanest cop on the force." I said "Oh, really? Well, your lieutenant let me check your background and we looked at your rap sheet. You were wanted for GTA and murder in seven other states. Same thing for kidnapping. You and the captain were best friends and he let you join the department without a check of your background. When the captain looked at your rap sheet, you were going to kidnap him and the kill him! What you didn't count on was a little nosiness from a few detectives!" I stepped out of the shadows and showed myself to him! I continued. "We were getting close, so you had the lieutenant come and try to arrest us. That night at the bar in McKinney, ash saw you and three other crooked cops take the captain at gunpoint. When the lieutenant saw your rap sheet, he had us do a little sting operation to take you down!" Steve said "What do you think you can do? That little recorder probably doesn't even have a tape in it! Besides, as soon as I tell the city that I caught the punks who murdered the captain, I'm going to be a hero! I killed the captain before I came here so no one would ever find out the truth!" I stopped the recorder and said "You're right. This thing doesn't have a tape in it. But, that doesn't mean I can't be wired for sound!" He came up to me, but I countered by putting him up against a wall. I held him in place and said "Okay, punk! You're under arrest!"
It was 8 AM the next day, and I was spending the day sleeping on the living room floor. I moved my hand and petted my eevee tail. I was glad that we had solved a case, and that we were going to be detectives together!
Jenny: Well, that's it for the story! We all hoped you liked it!
Misty: I hope you give some good reviews! Because jarrad's really hoping this story will be a success!
Me: Thanks, guys! Please R&R, or send me an e-mail with your thoughts!
