Chapter 14: Rivalry Rising

After the meeting with the mayor that Kenny had stepped away from the mounting piles of files that was sitting everywhere on desks. Out in the hallway where he had came out of the squad room for some air, which he had spotted a worn out Mayor McDaniels was sitting on the steps of the stairwell on the phone that she looks very helpless at the moment. Suddenly, Kenny had gotten the urge to sit next to her that she looks shocked at him, after she had decided to built now abandoned SoDoSoPa around his house that she had figured that he was still pissed at her for it.

"Little boy, what are you doing that I'd thought you're be still pissed at me for building SoDoSoPa around your home?" McDaniels questioned that she looks very puzzled at him when she had seen him sitting next to her.

"Listen, mayor that I'm not mad about the SoDoSoPa building anymore…. In the end, it had turned into a massive playground for me, my siblings and friends, but we need to find BarBrady's shooter before they could do this to someone else." Kenny explained that is when she had gotten up from her spot.

"Kid, you don't know about the guilt battles that I've been having ever since BarBrady had gotten shot, I'm blaming myself for this mess by only listening to Marsh's side of the story of the second shooting that had left your little friend hurt." McDaniels said in a guilty tone voice, as she looks at Kenny with those sad looking eyes of hers.

"You have feelings for BarBrady, don't you; mayor that I know it is none of my business?" Kenny asks that his question had thrown her off, which she looks a bit shocked had left a brightly red shading on her cheeks at that moment.

"No, I don't, kid…. That I'd made a terrible mistake of firing BarBrady, if he was wearing that vest that night that none of this had happened ...As if I know, you are that mysterious kid run the streets of the town to protect us from harm that you don't want that out." McDaniels replied tries to throw him off from her private life that she keeps to herself over the years with a lie."Oh, look at the time that I've an enough for a one day, before Peter calls to bitch me out." She had walks out to leave Kenny behind when all sudden the other boys had popped their heads out through the crack between the doors.

"Hey, Kenny, are you coming back in here?" Kyle said that Kenny had decided to come back into the room that he still looking concerned about the mayor in silence, but he had back out of the door.

"Kenny, where the hell are you going to now?" Stan added that they had started to follow him out of the building to see where is he is going to now.

"Fellas, we have paperwork to look through that Yates will be pissed at us, if we don't returned back to the squad room." Butters reminded them about their project.

"Gawddamnit….Butters, you can be bad for once that we needs Prof. Chaos come out to outsmart Leslie for once and all." Cartman snapped back, as he had grabbed a hold of Butters' jacket in a full rage.

"Geez whiz, Eric, I can't that we are playing junior detectives, not superheroes right now….Aaaahhh!" Butters replied in a panic, as he was staring into Cartman's beaten red heavy plump face with a feared look had formed on sweet filled face.

"We need South Park's most evil genius to battle the evil form of vermin known as Ads to restore South Park back to normal." Dovahkiin added. Unknown to his friends that he was silently wishing for the town goes back to normal, which he enjoys the quaintness of living in a small town to a chaotic big city life that he had dealt with earlier in his young life.

Somewhere out in town that Leslie was out prowling the town's streets with Nathan at her side that she is up to something no good. Her eyes was set for the local library that both of them had struck past the elderly blue hair in a beehive do lady named Mrs. Hermans, who was sitting behind the checkout counter checking people out. They had gone up to the computer area , where Leslie had sat herself in the front of one of the computers to push the button to execute a cyber attack on the local government computer system that she was wearing a bitter smile, after carrying out with her act for revenge.

"Now my revenge has just started against this town…..Come, Nathan that we can watch this town panic with all of its glory." Leslie whispered, as both she and her loyalist were casually scrolling away with pride filled in their faces. Meanwhile at the same time, cut back to the police station inside the main squad room, where multiple officers and detectives were sitting behind their desks typing away with their reports on their work computers when all sudden the computers had gone to a black screen than crashed on them.

"What the fuck?" Foley said in a panic while he was sitting in front of the black filled computer screen at that moment. "Uh, sarge….We have a major problem that all of our computers had crashed."

"What, Foley?" Yates said, as he was walking back from the break room with a cup of hot fresh coffee to wake him up more to regain focus on his longtime friend and superior's shooting case that had left him injured right now. "Fucking monkey balls…..Why I've this feeling that today is going to get much worse than it is?" That is when he had noticed Mayor McDaniels was walking back into the room, which a panic was starting to rears its head among them.

"What is it now, did something had happened bad while I was out?" McDaniels questioned that she had sensed something ugly is in the air, which she had glared at Yates.

"Well, mayor….We just suffered a major cyber attack a few minutes ago." Yates answered.

"What?" McDaniels replied she looks very shocked to what she had heard.

"Yes….The Broncos are going to the super bowl this year." Both Officer Stevens and Peterson shouted with joy when they both had noticed the mayor was standing next to their commanding officer when they had came out of the break room, after watching the Broncos and Patriots game.

"Oh, shit….The boss is here, that you know, we are in trouble now." Stevens said nervously, and rubbing the back of his neck when he had seen the haggard looking mayor who just stood there shrugging her shoulders at them that she was more concerned with BarBrady and the recent cyber attack right now .

"Take it easy there, boys that I'll let this slide for once, which you all had been overworked last few months." McDaniels commented in a haggard tone voice, when she had seat herself at the folder-covered table. "Well then… I'm out for the rest of the night, which I've check on someone right now."

"She's hiding something from us, boys." Yates said to his squad who was standing around, while he was wondering about the secret that she is currently withholding from them.

"Like what, sir?" Murphey questioned, while he was standing there reading an issue of a video gamers' magazine to check new games' releases.

Later that night, cut to Dovahkiin's House inside his bedroom, where the boys and Jenna had gathered around the computer screen the young hacker was at the computer working on a very powerful ad blocker to slow Leslie and her ad minions down. However, Dovahkiin was watching the news when they had heard about the cyber attack had the entire town government's computer system that they look on in great horror.

"Breaking news out of South Park that an unknown group of hackers had hacked into the town government's computer server to caused a town wide server crash." Tom Thompson reported.

"I see that Leslie had struck again." Dovahkiin said, after he had turned the TV off to look at his friends with great concern at that moment. "I think those ads on the computers is a virus to crash the entire planet's computer systems during an attack that the sneaky bastards had tested it out on our town."

You people need to find Leslie now, I've a couple things to finish up with the ad blocker to toast this bitch and her little friends." Jenna added, as she looks away from the computer screen that she had a found a way to strengthen the anti ad blocker and virus software on his computer, so the ads cannot hack into the computer to see what is their plan is.

"This bitch is starting to piss me off that I can't watch any of my new shows at all?" Cartman protested that he wanted to be at home watching TV instead, which Kyle just stood there rolling his eyes at him in complete silence.

"Goddamnit, Cartman that you only care about fucking TV shows, while we have killer ads out and running loose in town, who are trying to kill us all right now." Kyle replied angrily, as he was glaring the number one rival down.

"Shut up, you Jew rat that you had almost gotten us all killed at the gun show, by hooking up with the evil ad queen." Cartman snapped back to reminds Kyle on his past involvement with Leslie.

"I've a fucking enough, with this fucking blaming game that we have a fucking town and planet to save right now." Dovahkiin ranted wildly that is when they had noticed the icy blue glow in his eyes.

"Take an easy there… Samuel L. Jackson!" Kenny said that is when he had puts his gloved hand on Dovahkiin's right shoulder to calm him down along with a soft giggle.

During the boys' junior detectives unit meeting was going on….Cut to the McDaniels' residence inside the TV lit master bedroom, where Mayor McDaniels was getting for bed while BarBrady was still in bed looking sleepy at that moment. Unknown to them, that they are being watched by Randy Marsh, who is hiding in the large juniper bushes below, which it is hard for him after she had closed the curtains to keep the heat inside.

"Marsh, what the hell are you doing here?" Johnson asked that is when Randy had turned to see the mayor's right-handed man along with the other councilors in toll, who had came from inside for a small meeting.

"Johnson… Why you're out late?" Randy replied nervously, which the top mayoral assistant stood there looking annoyed back at him.

"Bull shit, I know why you're here …. I was conducting city business with the mayor on how to deal with this cyber attack that we had today, Marsh." Johnson explained. "Just leave her alone about being progressive that she is more concerned about finding BarBrady's shooter, and who's behind this cyber attack right now."

"Wait a minute you guys, did you ever noticed that she had taken a best interest into BarBrady ever since after he was fired." Randy implied that is when Johnson just looking angry that he will protect his boss' private life from an attack and snooping.

"Oh, come on, Marsh….She is feeling guilty for what she had done to him by listening to you that is all… It is the end of this discussion." Johnson added, while he was motioning to them to leave the property, where he had gotten a text from her to thank him for keeping her secret at that moment.

The following morning, cut to South Park City Hall inside the private meeting room that Mayor McDaniels had called an emergency council meeting to discuss the lately developments on the cyber attack. Unknown to them that she had brought BarBrady with her that he was staying in her office during the meeting at least he is out of bed to keep him from getting cabin fever.

"Members of Council that I'd called this meeting to discuss this cyber attack that had crippled our town government computer system since the night before." McDaniels explained while the council members sat there looking at her with great concern. "We have our best tech guys working on the problem to get us back online by noon, or sometime by the end of the day."

"Annndddd, can we also discuss about the upcoming PC Carnival too that you had been blowing it off last few days, mayor?" Randy added that the mayor just sat there shaking her head that she is in no mood at all.

"Screw the PC carnival that I like to remind you, Marsh that we have attempted murderer running around on our streets right now." McDaniels reminded him that she had crossed her arms when she had look at him with a dark glare had settled on her face.

"Randy, knock it off that you're only making her gets pissed at you again." Skeeter added that is when he had placed his left hand on Randy's shoulder to keep him from rising from his seat.

"He is trying his best to piss me off, because he is not getting his way right now, Skeeter." McDaniels replied, which she had leaned back against her chair with a not pleased look on her face that she wanted to leave to see BarBrady for some support and comfort.

Gawd, I can't let you to ruin everything that I'd built to better this community." Randy clamored that the mayor just sat there rolling her eyes at the fit that he was having, and Johnson was sitting next to her shaking his head for this nonsense.

"You truly had become an asshole, Marsh that I'll be taking my leave, which I've a mess to clean up around here." McDaniels said while she was walking toward the door that she was heading back to her office.

"What is it to continue to find BarBrady's shooter instead of being progressive, mayor?" Randy questioned that it had made her stopped in her tracks, which that last comment had really pissed her off that had caused her to turned around to give him a clearly dirty look.

"Because of you that I've his blood on my hands, so, I don't care about being progressive now." McDaniels replied she had left the room pissed off for her office that she will be so nice to see BarBrady when she enters the room. Inside the office that is when BarBrady had went to her side where she had puts her hands on his face.

"Mary, what is wrong that I would love to hug you, but I'm still in an arm sling." BarBrady said, as she was resting her head on his broad chest.

"We need to get out of here that Randy is in the building that he had pissed me off already, George." McDaniels explained, while she was putting her coat and shawl back on.

A few minutes later, right after the meeting with the council had ended so abruptly that the other council members were sitting around the long dark oak boardroom table discussing about the mayor's changing stance. By it looks like that Randy was not giving up at all, which all of the councilors are urging him to stop this that they all see that she is under pressure from a lot of things right now.

"Damnit, Randy…. You had to ruin the rest of the day for the rest of us." Skeeter protested that Randy just sat there looking pissed, after he had been getting his ass handled to him lately.

"Why all sudden she is standing up for BarBrady by throwing my ideas to better this town under the bus now?" Randy ranted under his breath, while Johnson was sitting there rolling his eyes at him."That is it…..I'm going into her office to give her a piece of my mind."

"Oh, this is just great…. That I have to be on her bad side for the rest of the day again, Marsh." Johnson said, as he had leapt off his chair to chase after him to stop him from entering her office at that moment. "Marsh, stop now!" However, it was too late that Randy had reached the door to the mayor's office when he had entered the quiet room that both McDaniels and BarBrady were standing next to each others that they both looks pissed, which the sight of them had stopped Randy and the other councilors in their tracks.

"Do you ever give up at all, Marsh that I'm busy with stuff right now?" McDaniels said along with a heavy sigh, at this point of time that he is pissing her off with his presence.

"What the hell is he doing here that I'd thought that he was fired, mayor?" Randy replied in anger while the mayor just stood there with her arms folded giving him a dark glare.

"I swear…. There are few things more terrifying than a silent woman with her arms folded." Skeeter whispered in Johnson's left ear who in return nodded in full agreement.

"I'd heard that, Skeeter…. Marsh, he has the right to be here like you." McDaniels snapped back at one of her council member for making that mocking statement.

"Well, Marsh that you should tell them the truth from that night that you had caused me to lose my job." BarBrady added that both he and Randy were standing there across each other's by giving each other's dirty looks that it was building up for a while at that moment.

"Because you are a dumbass, BarBrady, that is why, we don't need your incompetence in our progressive town anymore." Randy explained in a douchey tone, which BarBrady looks down at the floor with a sad look that the mayor cannot stands seeing him like that anymore.

"Marsh, since ever you had became the member of PC chapter that you'd become an asshole." McDaniels said as she had stepped forward to confront him to protect her lover from his pure seen rudeness, which she was standing there poking at Randy's chest to show her disapproval. "This is the end of the discussion that I've a lot of things to do around here, so, get out of my sight now!" When she had taken her seat behind the desk while the council members were piling out of the office, but Johnson remained at that moment.

"Mayor, I'm so sorry about the outburst that you had dealt with Mr. Marsh." Johnson apologized when all sudden the stressed out mayor had decided to puts a packet of cigarettes out of one of her desk's draws that she keeps for a super emergency.

"Johnson, I don't want to hear it at all." McDaniels replied that she looks pissed when she had look at him with those eyes that was filled with a mixture of anger and sadness.
