Chapter 17: Burnt Bridges

A few minutes later, cut over to South Park Police Station inside the interrogation room where both Yates and Murphey had turned up the heat on Josh Myers who had returned to town. However, he had been arrested on the spot when one of the patrol officers who were on his normal patrol when he had came across him that Josh was sitting across the table from them. He was silently reading them to attack them with their hidden dark secrets.

"Look, who had decided to return to South Park to face the music, or mock us with his crime against our fellow brother in blue, Mitch." Yates said, while he was sitting there with a cigarette hanging out from his mouth and busy milling through the stack of reports on BarBrady's shooting. Well, kid that you are looking to an extended stay at Alamosa for a really long time."

"Det. Sergeant….Can I'd sensed your posture to solve this case that injured your friend, due to the public pressure, and guilt just like the rest of this town has over this crime." Josh replied, after he had finished reading them, where Harrison had look up from the reports to shoots him a dark glare.

"Oh, shut up with that crap, already..." Yates added with a stern voice, after looking at his curly salt and pepper hair partner who were seated next each other's along with a funny look had formed on his face.

"Well, detective…. What are you afraid of failing Mayor McDaniels, the townsfolk, and Officer BarBrady to bring me to justice for hurting your friend?" Josh commented in a cool yet cunning tone, while he was sitting there with a bitter smile.

"Kid, your mental warfare is not working on us at all." Murphey added without looking up from his spot on the stacked reports that was sitting out in front of him.

"We wants to know who is behind this plan of shooting BarBrady, you little fucking brat." Yates snapped on him, which it is only egging him with more of his mental warfare to wage on them, meanwhile in the other room where Dawson along with a couple of uniformed officers were sitting there listening in to the whole interrogation through a speaker that is when both Yates and Murphey had came into the other room. "Man, that kid is playing a game super hard mind game with us to him to spill on whoever had ordered that near fatal hit on BarBrady, Tom."

"Should we update Mayor McDaniels on his capture?" Barkley added in a nervous tone, when he looks at Yates was standing there with a cigarette in one of his hands where all sudden Dawson had brought his cell out of his pocket to call the mayor, but Yates had motioned to Dawson to stopped dialing her number out at that moment.

"Hold on for a minute, Tommy that we in no need to bother the mayor that she needs some rest, before we tell her about the development in BarBrady's case in the morning." Yates quickly replied, after he had taken a long hard puff from his cigarette to calm his nerves down. "Well, boys just lodge his sorry ass into the jail for the rest of the night now!"

The following morning across town in one of the local neighborhoods as the rising sun was rising to greet the sleeping small quaint now boring mountain town with its fiery kiss as the glittery disk had settled over the area. Cut to the McDaniels' residence inside the kitchen Mayor McDaniels was getting a cup of hot coffee to take with her that she had let BarBrady asleep that he was in pain from the injury from overworking himself last night. She had helped him out with feeding Sweetheart and letting her out before she leaves for another shitty day at the office, which is planning to return home on her lunch hour that is when her Smartphone was starting to chine loudly that had alerted her out of her waiting game.

"Now what, can I get some peace and quiet around here for once?" McDaniels questioned that she looks greatly disgusted when she had heard her phone, which it was a text from Yates who is urging her to get down at the police station urgent. "Praying something good had happened around here for once."

Back in the downtown area, cut at the police station that the police station inside the main squad room that all of the both uniformed officers and plainclothes detectives were standing around celebrating their latest capture, while they were waiting for the mayor to show up when all sudden Yates' desk phone begins to ring at that moment.

"Hello, yes, madam that little bastard is in the city lockup right now, before being transferred back over Alamosa Juvive Hall later on today." Yates spoke into the phone that he was thinking that he was talking to Mayor McDaniels in reality is Leslie had disguised her voice to mimicked Mayor McDaniels' voice, as she had done with Obama's voice before. By using her voice to fools him by letting Nathan to get Josh out of the jail for Nathan to sneak past the squad that both of the kids had escaped from the parking lot through the window. That is when all sudden he had turned around to look over his shoulder at Mayor McDaniels who had scrolled in there, which he looks super confused at her after he had gotten off from the phone. "Mayor, it is odd that you still show up here, after you had ordered me to keep that creepy Myers kid a bit longer here."

"What? Harrison, what the hell are you talking about that I'd not ordered you to keep that creepy kid here, which I had not talked to you at all, while I was driving over here?" McDaniels replied in a confused tone, while she had look at him with a funny look that had formed on her face.

"Foley and Stevens, I need you to check out of the jail cell now!" Yates ordered, while it had taken a moment for old Yates to realize that he had been duped by a living AD had used Mayor McDaniels' voice to mimic to take his mind off for a second. "Son of bitch…."

"Sir and your honor….The Myers kid had escaped from his jail cell through the window, which someone or something had bended the bars." Stevens said in a panic, when both he and Foley had rushed back into the squad room from the holding area for prisoners that the mayor stood there looking stunned to what she had just heard.

XXXXXXXXX

Meanwhile at the same time, cut at the bus stop that the boys were standing around waiting for their school to show up that it had been showing up late, due from the bad road conditions of the rapidity developing bands of heavy mountain snow had fallen over the area last few days.

"Aye, Douchebag…..Do you gets a lot of snow in the mitten?" Cartman asks, while he was getting cozy next to Dovahkiin when he had placed his left arm around his shoulder, which the young dragonborn had pushed his arm off him.

"Get your cheesy poofs covered hands off me now, fat ass…And yes, we get lake effect snow back in the Great Lakes region." Dovahkiin replied along with shooting a dark glare at Cartman, who had a trying to be innocent look on his heavily plump face. All sudden they all looks up at a lone South Park squad car had pulls up in front of the bus stop to revealed Barkley and Peterson on a mission who were sent by McDaniels and Yates to fletched and bring them back to the station.

"Kids, we needs back at the station now that the mayor and Yates had requested you all to be there." Barkley explained on why they were there on the behalf of Mayor McDaniels, and Det. Sgt. Yates."What we did now?" Stan asked, as he and his friends gotten into the squad car to heads into the downtown area at that moment. Unknown to them that Leslie had pulled something out of her sleeve to call Randy by mimicking Mayor McDaniels once again while still inside her hiding place.

"Hello?" Mayor, you want to talk with me." Randy answered while he was listening to the fake mayor. "What Stan had did now?"

"Marsh, your son and his friends are rebelling against the local progressive movement by vandalizing one of the town's parks with down with PC graffiti in the bathroom area." Leslie spoke into the phone, while she was using to her voice changer to disguise her voice in Mayor McDaniels' sophisticated yet over demanding tone, that he is so gullible that he had fell for it.

Back at the police station, inside the main squad room where the boys were sitting around the medium sized boardroom table, when all sudden a pissed off Randy had stumped into the room that the sight of him had raise a couple of eyebrows.

"S-Stanley, you are so grounded right now that I'd just gotten off from the phone with the mayor a few minutes ago that you and your friends have a problem with being progressive!" Randy yelled, while the mayor just stood there with a confused look.

"Wait a Goddamned minute, Marsh that I didn't talk to you jackass at all… Why everybody is trying to keep putting in my mouth that I've countless witnesses here that I didn't called you." McDaniels replied, while she was shaking her head for nonsense that is currently developing around her right now. "Oh, wait a minute, why I'm not even talking to you that I'm still pissed at you."

"Dad, what the hell are you talking about that my friends and I were here all morning, plus Mayor McDaniels didn't call you at all, you fucking idiot?" Stan defended himself and his friends were sitting there looking super dumbfounded at him for a quick second that the mayor was still avoiding Randy at all cost.

"Oh, come on, mayor ….How long you are going to keep avoiding me like the plague ever since when BarBrady had been shot that we have a lot of stuff to accomplish for our town." Randy pouted, as if he was a little kid is not getting his way, while the mayor just sat there with a vapor cigarette and a cup of coffee not paying any attention when all sudden he stormed out of the building.

"Damn….You guys that Stan's dad had really pissed her off." Cartman whispered to his friends, while wearing a bitter smile on his heavily plump face once again."Oh, hamburgers…" Butters muttered under his breath.

"You guys I think she is on our side in secret." Kyle added in a low whisper when they all had gathered around to talk among them.

"Due to the fact that she is silently blaming herself over BarBrady's shooting." Dovahkiin explained in a low whisper, which they are away from the adults that they cannot hear what they are talking about at all.

'Umm… E-E-Excuse me, m-m-madam m-m-mayor that I've an l-l-lead b-b-behind the dupe p-p-phone calls, it could be those living ads is trying to dupe us again." Jimmy stuttered when he had stepped forward from the whispering group that his shocking revelation had made Mayor McDaniels super worry that these ads can mimic her voice now, which it had made her rush out of the building. "D-D-Did I've say s-s-something -w-w-wrong gang, my f-f-fellow d-d-detectives."

Later that night, cut to the McDaniels' residence inside the TV lit living room where both BarBrady and McDaniels had settled in for the rest of the night that they are currently binge watching ID shows again. BarBrady was sprawled across the sofa, which he was in pain all day long while the mayor was laying next to him, and Sweetheart was slumbering away in her bed.

"You've been quiet since you got home, Mary?" BarBrady asks that he was silently wondering why she is so quiet tonight.

"Georgie, we had Josh Myers in custody earlier today, but the brat had gotten away again, and Randy had dared to show up to stir shit." McDaniels explained that is when BarBrady had hugged her trembling petite form while he was putting himself in pain. "You need to take it early that I know you're going bat crazy, which you must rest right now."

"There…There… There…Mary, we will get him for what he had done to me." BarBrady said, as he was trying his best to comfort her that it is not working at all that she had sat up from her spot on the sofa.

"George, if you were still on the force that vest would have protected you from being wounded, but thanks to Randy Marsh, who was whispering into my ear to better the town that I'd to screwed you over." McDaniels expressed her guilt for this whole thing. "I hate him for leading us against you and rest of our incompetent police force…. It had broken my heart when I'd seen you were being rushed into emergency surgery."

"Mary, don't beat yourself up, at least that you had dropped everything to rush over to be at my side after I was shot." BarBrady reminded her about that dreadful moment, when she had came to the hospital after she had heard about the news to be at his side.

"I wish that everything will go back to the old days of this shitty ass town, before those damned ads come along to fuck everything up, George." McDaniels added, as she had rest her head on his right shoulder.
