Chapter 12: An act of Betrayal

Meanwhile out in the police squad car parking area that Officer McDaniels was cleaning his car off from the fresh fallen Colorado's white gold was falling in the area that his dog was sitting in the back of the car waiting to go back on road patrol. All sudden that he had felt an uneasy presence coming toward him. That is when he had gathered all of his courage to look up to see Randy and a small group of councilors that included Gerald, Linda and Stephen Scotch along with the two mayoral aides were standing in front of him, which he had given the entire group that infamous McDaniels' eye roll at that moment.

"Oh, what do you want me to listen to you all that I've no time for this at all that I've an attempted murderer, who could be still running around town to catch." Officer McDaniels said in a sarcastic tone, as he was glaring at them that his bad mood is telling them to back off at that moment.

"Look, Alex, we need your help to talk with your mother who is currently on silent strike against us right now." Randy explained that Alex just stood there once again rolling his eyes, and sighing heavy with disgust.

"Seriously, Marsh, you had big balls to ask me to help, after seeing my own mother crying, and blaming herself for BarBrady's near fatal brush with death a few days ago by firing him on your advice. You all care about being progressive to better the town, not ourselves that we all not perfect at all….So, fuck you!" Officer McDaniels scolded them so coldly, as he looks at them that he wants to get out of there now.

"Hey…Hey…Hey…Well, Alex, you are not progressive by saying fuck you to us." Randy reminded him about the town's new attitude, which Alex looks very livid right now that the first son of South Park is silently thinking the town's drunken man child, Randy had literally lost his mind to the power trip that he is on lately.

"Well, Marsh, don't be an up in your ass fucktard then I'll tries to be progressive…. But for now I'm out of here, motherfucka…Peace!" Officer McDaniels replied, which he was being a smart ass toward them, as he was walking away from them toward his squad car that he had left them in shock that is when he had drove off in his car.

"I can see that he has his mother's stubbornness within him." Johnson said, he was feeling like that he was arguing with his superior when she is in a pissed off mood, due from something do not go right within the town a few minutes ago.

"Now what we are going to do you guys, the police force and Mayor McDaniels had turned their backs on us for fucking BarBrady over." Gerald added, everybody else stood there so quietly while were thinking about Alex had said.

"That is it, you guys… We are going in there right now!" Randy screamed at the top of his lungs for a moment while he was rushing toward the large pile of snow that covered the sidewalk to the side door, which everyone was following him in there.

Back inside the main squad room, where the boys, plainclothes detectives and uniformed officers were busy with the investigation into BarBrady's shooting when all sudden both McDaniels and BarBrady had returned from upstairs to help with the investigation at that moment.

"We're so sorry to leave you guys like this that we were having private chat a few minutes ago….Right, BarBrady." McDaniels spoke, BarBrady stood there that she had blinked at him for keeping quiet, and nodded at her in silence to keep their secret romantic involvement with each other's from the public. That is when the atmosphere had changed from hardworking to anger, as Randy and the company had made their presence to them, which the mayor just stood there looking not pleased at all when she had seen them coming this way.

"Mayor, do you have a moment?" Randy pleading with the stubborn mayor, who is refusing to listen to him, that she was more concerned to fix the mess within the police force that she had created.

"No….Marsh, there's nothing more to say to you at all, now Scuse me that I've to fix this mess, I'd created by listening to you." McDaniels replied, while she was standing there with a couple folders in her arms along with a dark glare that had formed on her worn youthful face that is when she was walking away from him, which she was heading toward the heavily covered table. Where Yates, BarBrady, Murphey and Dawson are sitting behind the mounting stacks of folders is sitting on the main boardroom table right now.

"So, you're telling me that the entire progressive stride that we had made for this town that you don't wants to be a part of it anymore, mayor?" Randy protested that is when she had stopped her tracks those fists of hers were hanging at her sides shaking violently, which she was getting more pissed at him.

"I don't want to be a part of this repeating debate with you anymore, Marsh….At this time, I'm backing off a bit from being progressive." McDaniels said along with a heavy sigh.

"Randy, I'm stopping this that you need to back off that she does not want to be around us right now." Johnson said, as he had stepped forward to step between the two feuding officials, after seeing her violently trembling a few seconds ago. They both had locked on each other's with venomous glares, which both Cartman and Kenny looking on impatiently for this moment.

"Gawd, Johnson that I don't want to see my greatest creation falls apart at all." Randy protested…. It looks like he was having a childish fit that his mother was not giving into his way, which the mayor just stood there giving that infamous angry look of hers.

"Look! You fucking asshole that you had forgotten who's in charge of this town, it is not you that the last time I'd checked, it was me, Marsh." McDaniels snapped back that is when all of the cops had held her back, which both aides had escorted Randy out of there quickly. "Johnson and Freddie, get him out of my sight now…..I just wish for this day would end right now." Not long after the dust had settled in the air that Yates had brought a bottle of fire's pit whiskey out from his desk's door to have a shot.

"Mayor, do you want a shot of Fire's pit whiskey from the hellish day, we all had today?" Yates asks, as he was standing there pouring whiskey into some shot glasses, the mayor had refused to take his offer that she was planning to take BarBrady home to puts him into bed after she had saw he almost in tears.

"No, thanks, Harrison… I'm going to take BarBrady home, which his pain is creeping up on him right now." McDaniels said that she was helping BarBrady up from his spot that BarBrady was not feeling good from the pain in his injured shoulder at that moment. "Come on, George…."

"I can tell that she is feeling guilty for giving BarBrady that pink slip right now, Mitch." Yates said, while he was leaning against his desk with his shot glass in his left hand and smoking a cigarette after they had left the building.

"I'll admire Mayor McDaniels for dropping everything to be at BarBrady's side during this whole crisis, after she had given his pink slip to him, Harris, while Randy Marsh is still up in his ass after seeing him acting out tonight." Barkley added.

"Well, Mitch….She was waiting for him when he had just arrived at the hospital, and going into emergency surgery." Yates remembered the completely chaotic scene from that night, if it had just happened yesterday.

"Sir, I'm surprised that you didn't have told her about him flat- lining twice on the route to the hospital." Barkley questioned him on not releasing that detail to the mayor on the night of the ambush.

"Mitch, she was already blaming herself from this entire ordeal that I didn't want to stress her more than she was at the time." Yates replied, while he was standing there with his cigarette hanging out of his mustache-covered mouth.

Later on that night that the boys were staying over at the Hughes' home, which Dovahkiin is having a sleepover for the weekend…Down in the Hughes' finished basement that the boys in their pjs were sitting around the TV. They were having pizzas along with other junk food that they gets their hands on out through the rest of the night. It was Dovahkiin's dad had recreated the basement as a game room for his son along with his friends when he had them over to bring peace into the house for on clock Lacey's naptimes.

"Dude, I'm surprised to see BarBrady out moving around, despite being injured that he wants to catch his shooter so bad." Stan said while he was holding his slice of dripping cheesy goodness going off from the pizza crust in his hands.

"Fellas...Have you had noticed that Mayor McDaniels is slowly turning against Stan's dad, and the local PC movement lately, after since BarBrady had been shot?" Butters questioned about the mayor's sudden change to turn against Randy.

"Come on, Butters that she is feeling guilty for firing BarBrady in the first place, where it had allowed him got hurt that she is taking all of her rage out on Stan's dad, because he is the source of this whole mess." Kenny said that he was not in his trademark orange colored parka that his blond hair were completely disheveled, and he was wearing a stained up white tee and orange pants.

"Duh…. You're right, my dad is an asshole last few weeks, even through that he had found about the truth of the ads that he is still acting like one." Stan explained, while Cartman was sitting next to him eating a bag of cheesy poofs.

"Well, we needs to find Josh Myers, and kills that bitch, Leslie to save the town and rest of the world again." Dovahkiin said that he was looking ready to fight at that moment. At the same time, across town, inside South Park's charter bus station that Officer McDaniels, Foley and Knowles was doing a routine walk through the station. When they had came across Josh Myers who was sitting there waiting for his ride out of here in his disguise of a fedora hat, handlebar mustache, glasses and an overcoat to sneaked past the trio of officers who were looking around to get on his waiting bus to escape from town.

"Do you guys have come across anything on that Myers kid at all that Harrison will not be pleased about this turn of events, when we get back to the station?" Officer McDaniels said, while standing there with his dog along with his fellow officers that he was acting on his duty as the community officer.

"No, we haven't found the Myers kid yet, sir that it seems that the kid had vanished into thin air on us." Foley explained when Alex was starting to looks like his own mother when she is pissed about something, as the charter bus had pulls away from the scene.

"Goddamnit….I'm warning you guys that both Yates and my mother will not be pleased, when they hear about this chain of events tomorrow morning." Alex was panicking right now; both Foley and Knowles had decided to calm him down.

"Alex, calm down, man…. I'll promise you that we'll find him one way or another for the chief that all I know that BarBrady would wants us all out on the street to protect the community." Knowles said that is when Alex was starting to calm down that Knowles' comment had clicked into his overwhelmed mind for a second.

The following morning at South Park City Hall inside the mayor's office, where Mayor McDaniels was standing before her 55 inch TV along with Johnson, Freddie, Mrs. Testaburger and couple of city officials listening to the live news report. On the TV was Niles Lawson reporting live from in front of the police station for an update on the shooting case of Officer BarBrady.

"Good morning, Tom and Tammy….I'm reporting live from outside of the South Park Police Dept. that the search for a possible suspect in the shooting of the former South Park Police Chief, George BarBrady a few days ago." Niles Lawson said, while he was standing there looking at the camera that is when the mayor had switched the TV off with the remote she was holding.

"Why the hell I'd to listen to Marsh in the first place to turn this town around into a progressive community, now I've the blood of my former police chief on my hands, which it is just great for me getting screwed for my part of this trend?" McDaniels said along with a heavy sigh, and a defeated look had formed on her face, while she was walking toward her desk at that moment.

"Mayor McDaniels, It is not your fault at all that we all should blaming ourselves for this whole mess." Mrs. Testaburger said when she had seen her superior and friend's face, which she was about to cry, but the aging politician, was masking it from public view with a pretended façade right now. All sudden they all look over at one of the entrances into her office to see Randy was standing there.

"What the hell is he doing here?" McDaniels asks that her sadness had turned into anger when she had seen him at the door. Randy was walking toward them that Johnson was standing next to the mayor giving him a dark glare.

"Mayor, we need to discuss about the next step of being progressive to better the town more." Randy said while he was standing before the mayor who was rolling her eyes at him, where she had used her one of her hands to make whatever motion at that moment.

"I've no time to listen to this progressive bullshit plan that I've to do some damage control for BarBrady being shot crisis right now." McDaniels replied while she had closed her eyes for a second, as she was sitting there looking at the papers in the folders was sitting out on her desk was piling up last few days.

"But mayor, we need to keep up with the progressive trend to confused the ads from destroying our town?" Randy questioning her sudden change on being progressive, where she had almost lost her second love interest of her life like her first to a senseless act of violence by listening to him through his lies. When all sudden Mayor McDaniels had decided to lunged at Randy by pinning him against one of her office's walls. "What the hell, mayor?"

"I'll tell you why…Because of you that you had caused a good man his job, and almost his life as well too…I know what had happened on that night with that Rodriguez kid, you had lied to me and all of us…..Get him out of here now!" McDaniels snapped back that something within her had set her off that she was throttling him, where both aides had rushed to her side to pull her off from her former go to person in crisis now the target of her rage.

"Are you talking to Sharon about me, mayor?" Randy replied, which he looks shocked when he had seen her fuming looking face staring him down.

Mayor, calm down!" Johnson expressed concern for his superior who was looking super furious while both he and Freddie were holding her back, after she had snapped on Randy a few seconds ago. "Steve and Freddie, get him out of here now." The second mayoral aide and the dark hair man in the gray colored v- neck sweater were taking Randy out of the fuming mayor's sight. Meanwhile at same time outside of her office that the boys had gathered in the waiting room, which they are hearing the mayor and Randy's argument at that moment.

"Dude, she is totally pissed that she is finally taking out on your dad at last." Kenny said along with laughter that both he and Cartman had waiting for this day to come, actually, last few weeks being an asshole to him, Cartman, Kyle and BarBrady. They all look over to see the dark colored hair male city staff member and Johnson were walking Randy out of the room along with Freddie.

"Aye, you guy…Here he comes…Try to act so innocent." Cartman added he was sitting there acting so perfect when they had come across them sitting there; all sudden that is when Randy had puts two-two together that the boys were behind the mayor's turning against him and the local progressive movement.

"S-Stan…. But why I'm your father?" Randy questioned his own son's motives on betraying him by snitching to the mayor, while Stan was standing there nosebridgepinching himself for his own father's accusations against him.

"Goddamnit…Here come the guilt trip again?" Stan whispered to himself with disgust at that moment. "This movement is turning you into an asshole last few weeks by tying my best friend to a tree and drew dicks on his face, kicking Kenny down, calling Cartman fat online, and tackling BarBrady on the ground for accidently shooting David in the arm, plus called mom a bigot….What the fuck had happened to you, dad?" Stan had decided to leave the room in a dead hurry that he was starting to cry."Stan, wait up!" Kyle replied that he was starting to chase after his best friend, who was fleeing from the scene along with Butters, Cartman and Kenny.

"Nice going, Mr. Marsh that I'd lost all of my respect for you, which you remind me of my Grandpa Hughes with his anti- Sagnasty campaign." Dovahkiin added he looks angry to see Stan like that, which he had decided to walks away as well too.

Later on that same day, it was noon that Mayor McDaniels had returned home for her lunchtime to check on BarBrady, was sleeping on the sofa in the living room along with Sweetheart in her bed too. She feels at peace when she had scrolled in there after having a hellish morning.

"Move over, George that I wants some peace and quiet after having another crazy day." McDaniels explained, as she lies down next to him on his uninjured side that his presence ceases her mind and body.

"I'll take it that you have a bad day so far." BarBrady replied, where he had taken her with her good arm.

"Meh...No shit that I'd attacked Randy in my office this morning, which something within me had snapped, George." McDaniels added.

"What you did, Mary? BarBrady replied with shock.
