Attempted Evictions and a Hostile Encounter

The next day, in Old Detroit, within the Cadillac Heights neighborhood, Nikko Lazarus is walking with her adoptive Mother, Marie. Marie had adopted Nikko after the battle with the Rehabs had ended.

She was even given tremendous support by Robocop and the former Chairman of OCP in return for his job back from Mr. Kanamitsu.

Of course, Mr. Kanamitsu wasn't quite happy with the loss of three assassin androids. So he gave the Chairman his job back on the condition that OCP keeps Cadillac Heights the way it is.

Nikko has grown into a free-spirited, independent and attractive twenty-five year old lady with a tremendous IQ. She just happened to be in Detroit on break from M.I.T. and decided to spend time with Marie.

Shortly, they arrive at Marie's apartment building when they see the impossible.

'NOTICE OF EVICTION: All occupants of this dwelling have one week to move out and find other lodgings. Fully authorized by China Sun Incorporated. Have a pleasant day.'

Marie is severely angry as she says, "They have no authority to do that! Only the local Government and the landlord have the authority to do that! Nikko, let's get inside and call Murphy. He should be informed about this."

Nikko nods her agreement and both women rush into the building, only to find their belongings out in the hallway, along with the belongings of their neighbors.

Nikko tries the lock on the door, but makes a horrid discovery.

"Marie, the lock's been changed. That notice was not on the door when we left. Someone's planning something big, that's for sure."

Marie nods and asks the biggest question to enter her still shocked mind.

"Who, and why?"

Growling, Nikko says, "I'll be right back, Marie. I'll go call Murphy. Maybe he can find something out." Marie nods as Nikko rushes out of the hallway and goes outside to a payphone.

She dials the Emergency number and says, "Get me the Detroit Police, Commander Murphy. Yeah, that's right. Robocop. Yes, I'll hold."

She waits for two minutes and smiles when she hears a familiar voice. "This is Commander Murphy. What is the situation?"

"Murphy, thank goodness you're in. It's Nikko Lazarus. We've got trouble down here at our apartment building. We're being illegally evicted by some company no one's ever heard of."

"Understood. I am on my way with another Officer."

Nikko sighs in relief and is about to thank him when she sees a group of Asian men come toward her.

"Better make it more and Code 3, Murphy. I may have trouble here."

"Roger that. Just hang tight and it'll be all right."

"Right."

Unsure of the intents of the men, Nikko hangs up the phone and decides to be as casual as she can. She shrugs and waits five minutes before speaking, in an exasperated tone.

"Do you know what's going on here? It's absolutely horrible. We're being illegally evicted here."

The men laugh and one of them says, "It is not illegal, little woman. It's within the Law. It's known as Imminent Domain."

Nikko, knowing a thing or two about the subject, says, "Usually, Imminent Domain involves a business or Government Agency wanting to buy certain property from landowners for essential projects. In return, they offer compensation to the landowners. To my knowledge, the landlord of this building has not accepted any offers."

"Nor will he ever, as he has been eliminated as opposition."

Nikko gasps as she tries to process the information.

"You mean, you killed him to keep yourselves from running into opposition?" Before she can say any further, she smiles to the sound of sirens coming their way.

She looks and, sure enough, sees a squad of five Police Interceptors coming their way, lights flashing and sirens wailing. The Officers in the lead vehicle make a beeline for the building and they stop it just short of the wall.

Nikko smiles and says, "You are so busted, creeps." Once the other cruisers come to a halt, the doors on all units open, one of them being Robocop's.

Robocop comes up and asks, "What's the problem, Nikko?"

Nikko fills him in as best as she can, pointing at the notice and telling him what the man had said. He then goes over to the door and pulls the paper off the door, scanning it.

He searches city records for such a company and finds none. He searches statewide and finally nationwide. No results. He then scans the local Court records and finds nothing recent regarding Cadillac Heights.

He crumples the paper and says, "This is an illegal document. You are hereby ordered to put the resident's belongings back into their apartments and give them their new keys. Otherwise, there'll be trouble."

One of the men, ignoring Robocop, grabs Nikko, prompting her to scream. The lady Officer with him ignites her fists and snarls. Shego has come into play.

Shego asks, "You wanna let the young lady go? Or do I have to beat you senseless to get you to do it?"

Robocop switches on his targeting grid and accesses his Auto-9.

Once the weapon is in his hand, he says, "Let the lady go, or I'll plug you silly." Selecting laughter rounds, he aims for the guy's shoulder.

The man snorts as he yells, "You haven't the guts, robot!"

Shego yells, "You're a big, strong man, aren't you? If you are, then why are you hiding behind a young lady? Come on out from behind her, you chicken!"

Snarling, the man reaches into his pocket and brings out a butterfly knife, pressing it to Nikko's neck upon opening it. This prompts her to scream in fright.

Switching to lethal, Robocop switches targets over to the man's head, before responding, "Last chance before amateur brain surgery. Let the young lady go."

Unsure of himself now, the man looks around at his friends, wearing manic and bloodthirsty glee on their faces. He then looks at the Officers, anger and concern on their faces.

He shakes his head clear when he hears Nikko saying, "If you let me go, you can live and make yourself useful for society."

The man then nods and says, "Forgive me, but I cannot." He throws her clear and knifes himself right in the neck. Nikko turns around, sees the blood and rushes to help stem the flow. But she's too late. The man's already dead.

Robocop aims his weapon at the remaining goons and says, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me." The goons look at each other, nod their heads and get onto the pavement, with their hands above their heads.

Before they can be handcuffed, they bring their arms down and flick out concealed knives. Letting out a massive yell, they leap up and charge at the Officers. Before they can get to and attack them, they are shot dead by the Officers.

Nikko is still in shock, but comes out of it enough to ask, "Is it over, or is it just beginning, Murphy?"

Robocop decides to tell her straight out this time.

"Your guess is as good as mine, Nikko. Hopefully, it's over. But, if it's beginning, we may need some help."

At that, he returns to the Interceptor, gets in and says, "Diana." Diana pops up in the driver's seat and grins.

She then says, "I've always wanted to sit behind the wheel of a Police car." She notices Robocop's grimace and winces.

"Bad time for joking, right?" Robocop slightly nods and grins. Her face brightens and she asks, "What's up, Alex?"

He replies, "Get me all the information you can about this company. The name is China Sun Incorporated. I have a feeling it's a dummy corporation, possibly used by organized crime figures overseas."

Diana nods and says, "Checking." She closes her eyes and browses through the information. She then finds something interesting and opens her eyes.

"Alex, they have an office in the Chinese Consulate right here in Detroit."

Robocop smiles and says, "Now that's very, very convenient. Who's in charge of the office?"

"All I have is one name. Ching Juntao. That's all I got regarding personnel for the corporation there, period."

She then sighs exasperatedly and asks, "To what end though? What would China want with a section of Old Detroit?"

Robocop lifts up his head and says, "Only one possibility. Land grabbing for the purpose of blockbusting. Evict people from their homes without authorization from local authorities or a Judge. Then move in and tear everything down." Diana nods and digs a little deeper, her eyes closed.

She suddenly opens her eyes and asks, "Did you ever hear of the Sho-Da-Kah, Alex?" When Robocop shakes his head no, she goes on.

"I'm not sure offhand, but these guys have their fingers in every influential person's pie. It looks like they strike bargains with key people in very important positions, only to bail on them when things go bad. It seems that Juntao is one of the members of that group."

They then hear knocking on the driver's side window. Diana looks and sees Sheila smiling down at her. Diana rolls down the window using her connection to the car.

When the window's down, Sheila says, "Diana, unless they started giving Driver's licenses to holographic constructs that happen to house human souls, you may want to move into the back seat."

Diana smiles back and she says, "I think I'll try driving the car, just once. Get into the back seat, Sheila. This is going to be interesting."

Snickering, Sheila says, "Now this I gotta see." She opens the back door, gets in and fastens her seat belt.

She then muses, "I never thought I'd wind up back here again." At that, Diana and Robocop laugh, with Sheila joining in as the Interceptor drives off toward the Chinese Consulate.

As the cruiser departs, a shadow appears around a corner of the building.

It then says, "There's nothing better than being a cop." Chuckling, it adds, "Good seeing you again, Alex."

Within ten minutes, the Interceptor, with Diana behind the wheel, arrives at the Chinese Consulate. Robocop opens his door and steps out, opening the door for Sheila so she can get out.

As she stretches, Sheila asks, "How were you able to drive, Diana? It's just not possible."

Diana chuckles and replies, "Since the Interceptor has a computer in the engine bay, I merely programmed it to obey my commands regarding the door locks, windows, transmission, steering, accelerating and braking."

Sheila grins and says, "Sweet."

At that, Robocop and Sheila go into the Consulate while Diana fades back into the data stream to rest. Once inside, they are accosted by the Consul.

"What are you doing here, Officer Murphy and cyborg? This is Chinese soil now."

Sheila replies, "Relax your rice paddies, Consul boy. We're just here to discuss the matter of illegal evictions through China Sun Incorporated with Mr. Juntao. That's all."

The Consul smiles and says, "Mr. Juntao is not here right now. He is in a meeting with 'influential' members of your community. So, on that note, you may want to be nice to me, Ms. Officer Murphy. Because very soon you'll be on your knees, begging me for a job."

Sheila snorts and retorts, "That's either the lamest pick-up line you've got, or you think I'll actually be begging for a job with you. In any case, the only man I'll ever be on my knees for will be my husband. Is that understood, Mr. Consul?"

Robocop sighs and whispers, "Diplomacy, Sheila. Remember?"

Sheila snickers, smiles wickedly and says, "If Diplomacy's treating people like him as if they're dipshits from another nation, then that's what I'm doing."

Robocop is having a hard time keeping a smile from breaking out on his visage from that remark, but he manages to pull it off.

The Consul then loses his temper, yelling, "If this were Hong Kong, you'd be dead!"

Sheila's face goes gravely serious as she says, "That sounded very much like a death threat against a Police Officer. Wouldn't you agree, Commander Murphy?"

Robocop nods and replies, "I agree completely, Officer Murphy. Consul, I'm not sure if you are aware, but threatening a Law Enforcement Officer with death is punishable for anyone. Including a Diplomat. I suggest you keep that in mind next time you open your big, fat, stupid mouth."

The Consul stammers and walks away, muttering, "Stupid cyborg, stupid society. Can hardly wait to rule over them." Sheila's about to go after him, but Robocop stops her.

He then says, "We shook a banana tree. Now to see if any coconuts fall out." Laughing at the wisecrack/advice, Sheila nods in agreement as the two walk back outside.

Upon returning to the Interceptor, they get in and start yelling at the same time.

"Man, where does he get off?"

"He had a lot of nerve!"

"Who authorized him to be over here?"

"I should take my comet powers and revoke his Immunity right now!"

They both laugh, look at each other, smile and laugh some more. Unknown to them, they are being watched by two hostile men inside the Consulate. As the Interceptor starts and drives away, the two men return to their 'guests'.

Juntao brings out a knife and says, "Your Honor, you're supposed to be working on granting us permission to take the Heights. We put the posters up already. Now, we learn you never even recorded it. Why the sudden change of mind? You didn't like the money we had contributed to your re-appointment on the Bench?"

Judge Harold Smithers shakes his head and replies, "Something like that requires one month's notice, not one week. Also, it has to be sponsored by the State in conjunction with an interested company or bidder."

He then cries out in pain when the blade goes into his thigh. As Juntao twists the blade around, he grins sadistically and enjoys the screams of pain from the Judge.

Leaving the blade in the Judge's thigh, he goes on to an executive for Prime Directives Inc.

"Mr. Miller, I thought I told you to sabotage Mr. Murphy's car. What the hell happened?"

Warren Miller swallows as he replies, "Mr. Murphy was driven to the work site this morning by his wife, a Detroit Police Officer. She then started standing guard at the property. If she had seen me fooling around with the car, she would have kicked my apples off of me before arresting me."

"Yes, about that. Since you turned out to be a wimp, looks like you won't be needing them anymore." At that, Juntao brings out another knife,cuts through Miller's pants, removes the 'family jewels' from Miller's body and throws them into the fireplace.

His screams of pain get to be too much for Juntao, so he brings out his Makarov and blows the man's brains out. He grins evilly as he watches the man fall dead to the floor.

"Now, your Honor. What were you saying before I 'spoke' with Mr. Miller? Something about a notice of one month, I think it was. I'm sure you can do better than that."

Smithers looks beside him and sees Miller's corpse right there on the floorat his side.

He then gulps, nods and replies, "One week, at least, Mr. Juntao." Juntao smiles wickedly before changing his mind and bringing the knife out of Smithers' thigh.

He then says, "On second thought, you're totally useless. Have a good time in the afterlife." Without any further word, Juntao takes the knife and slits the Judge's throat. When the Judge is dead, Juntao wipes the blade off on the man's suit and casually smirks.

"Get me Ripper and another member of the Splatter-Punks. I have a job for them. Consul, I'll let you have some fun for a change. How would you feel about an ambush on a cop? Particularly one that spoke so impolitely to you."

The Consul nods and replies, "I'd like nothing more than to make her spine a trophy on my wall. At least she has a spine, unlike these other fools." Juntao nods in agreement as the two men start plotting.

During the plotting, Juntao says, "You may want to cut down on watching 'Angel'. It sets a bad example for all of us."

"It's funny! I like comedy with gore involved. It kind of brightens my day."

"Yeah, it also makes you appear deranged." At that, both men have a good sized laugh.
