Part 2
"Call 911!" Francine shouted.
"I got to go to work," Stan said. "You call 911!" They then heard police sirens.
"I don't think anyone needs to call 911." Hayley told them. "They're already here."
"Well," Roger started. "It was nice knowing you." He looked at Klaus. "Except you, Klaus." Klaus frowned. "Bye, now!" He then ran behind a tree.
Roger looked out to see the scene that was about to unfold. The rest of the family looked at the police.
A police chief got out of his car and approached the Smiths. He took off his shades.
"George Henston, you are arrested for murdering your wife." The family gasped.
"What?" Stan wanted to know. "I'm not George Henston; my name's Stan Smith. I just found Charlotte's dead body on my lawn, that's all."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, yes I'm sure! What kind of officer are you? What makes you think that I'm George Henston?"
"One of your neighbors pointed you out."
"What? Who?"
"That doesn't concern you." The chief took out his walkie-talkie and talked into it.
"I need a lie detector here, over!"
"Uh, no need to bother you, but I got to get to work. So, if you mind, I'll…" He was about to go when the police stopped him.
"Not so fast Mr. Smith…or if that is your real name."
"What? That's crazy! Of course it is. My name is Stan Smith and I'm innocent, see? He showed the chief his badge. "Here's my badge." He put it away in his pocket. "Now, if you please, I'm going to be late." More police came. One of them carried a portable lie detector.
"Put your hand on it." The chief told Stan.
"But, this is really unnecessary." Stan tried to explain. "I'm telling the truth. I am Stan Smith."
"PUT YOUR HAND ON IT!" Stan put his hands in the air.
"Okay, okay. But you're greatly mistaken. The lie detector will tell you that." He put his hand on it. "See? I'm not George Henston." The police gasped when the screen flashed 'Lie.'" Stan saw this and his eyes widened in shock. "What?". He quickly withdrew his hand. The police chief looked at the other two officers.
"Cuff him!"
"Noooo!" Francine yelled. The other policemen held her, Hayley and Jeff back. "STAN!"
"But I'm telling you!" Stan told the Chief. "I'm not George Henston! The lie detector's lying." The chief laughed.
"That's preposterous!" He said. "The lie detector detects lies, it doesn't make them."
"But it lied this time!
"Yeah, yeah!" The policeman who cuffed him said. "Tell it to the judge!" They took him to the car. The policemen holding Francine, Jeff and Hayley back left as well. Francine looked at the Chief.
"Sir," She started. "Stan is my husband, I'm his wife."
"Maybe he cheated on you." Francine looked disgusted.
"What? No, no! He wouldn't do that. He loves me, he knows better or at least he better or he knows I'll be mad."
"If you say so." He went to his car, got in and left with the others.
"Something's up." Francine told Jeff and Haley. "Come on Haley, let's clear your father and Jeff, let's clear your father-in law." Hayley and her mom started for the car.
"But what about the fish and that crazy neighbor that lives with us who cross-dresses?" Jeff asked. But, they didn't hear him. Haley came back for him.
"Come on, Jeff!"
"But what about…"
"Come on!" she dragged Jeff to the car, leaving Klaus alone.
It wasn't until the car drove off and out of the driveway that Roger came out of his hiding place and stood near Klaus.
"Well, what do you know!" Roger spoke. "They forgot all about us. Can you believe it?" He looked down at Klaus. "I mean, I can believe them forgetting you, but not me!"
"Maybe if they thought if you went with them, you would cause chaos and make everything worse."
"Hmm, true, I would do that, wouldn't I? Well, I'll start calling up people. There's going to be a party tonight at the Smiths. You don't talk and I won't lock you up in the basement…. wait maybe I'll do that anyways since you'll betray me and talk anyway."
"Wait!" Klaus said when he saw something from the corner of his eyes from under Charlotte's body. He scooted up and grabbed a slip of paper beneath the body. It was an airplane ticket to Tokyo, Japan.
"So, uh… are they coming back for her corpse or what?" Roger asked. "I mean, they kinda just left it here…"
"It's an airplane ticket to Tokyo, Japan." Roger snatched it.
"Great, maybe I'll go to Japan after the party."
"No! Don't you get it? This could be our chance!" Roger looked at Klaus as if he was crazy.
"Chance?" He wanted to know. "Chance to what?"
"George obviously dropped this when he dropped Charlotte in our yard. If we go, we can catch him and become famous!'
"Look Klaus, no offense, but I think the police can handle this. Now, let me lock you up in the basement so I can get my grooveon!"
"No, you're not getting this. The police wouldn't know that he's going to Japan and the Japanese police won't know he's a murderer. Only we know so we got to go."
"But the party."
"Look Roger, since we're like the only outsiders of this family; I think this will be a great opportunity to show the Smiths that we can do something, that we're more then 'the alien and the fish.'"
"But…but…"
"I think it's time for 'the Fins and the Legman.'"
"What? The Fins and the Legman?"
"Ja, the Fins and the Legman, no wait, the Fins und the Legman! Since Steve, isn't here to be Wheels, I can replace him as 'Fins'."
"You can't do that. Wait, isn't that the suggestion you suggested when we were at that mansion but you never got the chance because the Pokémon called dibs first?"
"No, that was the Fins and the Legman, this is the Fins und the Legman. I changed the name so it sounds more German."
"Whatever, again, you can't do that! You can't just replace Steve and give yourself a name. Besides, do you even know how to solve a mystery?"
"Ja; I've seen Monk, those two Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr as well as the other ones, Nancy Drew, Poirot und many more detective films. "
"This isn't like the mysteries in the movies, this is real!"
"So? It'll be nice solving mysteries that's not on TV for a change."
"But this isn't the kind of mystery that the Wheels and the Legman would solve."
"This is not the Wheels and the Legman. This is…"
"I know, I know. This is the Fins und the Legman. Time for a change, but what if I don't want change?"
"It's time, Roger. Change can be good sometimes. We can't stay here when the murderer on the loose. He may strike again."
"Hmm, you're right. But are you sure you want to come along?"
"I'm the only one left. Who else will you enlist?"
"Teddy Bonkers?" Klaus asked. They were in the garage. Roger was in his Legman disguise. He looked at the teddy bear that was sitting on the stool. Teddy Bonkers was in his secretary outfit.
"Teddy Bonkers?" Roger asked the stuffed bear. "Do you want to leave your duties as secretary for a bit to be in my detective agency as Paws and the Legman?" Teddy Bonkers didn't say anything.
"Uh, I hate to rain on your parade, but Teddy Bonkers' a stuffed bear! He's inanimate! This is stupid, talking to a stuffed bear like it has feelings!" Roger gasped insulted. He grabbed Teddy Bonkers.
"How dare you say that! Steve said it was stupid too! You have two toy scuba divers named Carlos and Charlie! You don't hear me calling them stupid, do you?"
"Fair enough."
He then talked to the bear, comforting him. "There, there; he didn't mean that." Klaus rolled his eyes.
"Oh, brother!" Roger then put Teddy Bonkers back on the stool.
"You're right. You better stay here and continue to be my secretary and in case something happens when daddy's away. I'll ask someone else, maybe Toshi, Berry, Snot, Greg, Terri, someone other then Klaus."
"What?" Klaus demanded. "But why? Why don't you want me?"
"Because you might ruin the agency."
"But I'm the only one who knows exactly what this is about! Besides, I'm sure they have better stuff to do then solve mysteries with a disguised alien."
"You really want to come along, don't you?"
"YES!" Roger sighed.
"Fine, but you better do what I say and don't mess up!" Klaus saluted.
"Will do!"
"And you need a story." Klaus looked puzzled.
"What?"
"You know, a story. How you came to be and stuff. Like for me I was a race car driver named…"
"Okay, I get it. How about I was a German Olympic Skier whom brain was transplanted into a body of a goldfish!"
"Well, if you want to take the fun out of it."
"And now, like teenage girls would say… Makeover! I'll go change." He went into the house.
He came back with a trench coat that was a little big for him, a fish-sized pipe, a fedora and shades.
"What's with the shades?"
"They make me look cool."
"Whatever, you do know that I'm in charge right?"
"Ja, I know."
"Okay, just checking."
"Roger, today we begin a new chapter in a new mystery novel. Today, is the start of the Fins und the Legman!"
