SpongeBob's legs buckled under him when he heard the news, and watched the first half of the video. He sobbed and wondered if this was all just a dream hoping if maybe he went home and went to bed to wake up and find out this was all one crazy dream that maybe just maybe it would go away. But his mind kept on drifting back to what had happened earlier.
Flashback
Mr. Krabs dashed out of the building to go get the formula, as usual. SpongeBob figured he would be back so with a smile on his face holding the formula high with his red claw. He was wrong. Usual it only took five minutes tops for Mr. Krabs to come back, SpongeBob checked the clock and calculated the time it had been; it had been 15 minutes. Once he heard the faint fluttering of the wind hitting steel blade, and the roar of a car speeding down the street, sirens blaring, he knew something was wrong. SpongeBob ran toward the Chum Bucket tears forming in his eyes as he caught sight of a stretcher being loaded out of an ambulance. He ran even harder as he saw a trail of blood leading to a police car, he gasped out loud as he saw Mr. Krabs sitting in the back his claws in handcuffs and what appeared to be rubber bands on his claws that also had a red substance covering them. He quickly sprinted to a nearby officer "Wha-wha-what happened" he shakily asked looking at the Chum Bucket door which had crime tape covering the frame of the door. Huffs of air left SpongeBob mouth as he saw planktons torn up body lying on the ground, blood strewn all over the ground; through the Chum Buckets windows. H quickly looked away and gasped and stuttered for air and then shakily took a step back, trying to get the image out of his mind. He felt a hand touch is shoulder and quickly spin him around, SpongeBob dizzily turned around; his head was still swimming at the thought of the image of Plankton's body. The officer took a step back as SpongeBob puked and retched all over the sand, the officer pushed the yellow sponge away from the horrific scene. SpongeBob's mouth was gaping open as he felt a hand settle on his shoulder and pull him away from the mess on the sand. "Are you SpongeBob Square Pants" the officer asked looking into the sponges blue eyes "Yes, I am officer" he said his face a light shade of green and his voice was scratchy from all the terrible vomited he had recently done. Then SpongeBob was lead to a police car, the windows were tinted a dark black color, allowing no one to see what was going on inside the car. He stepped inside the car, his feet wobbling; they finally gave out from under him as he sat down in the chair. The officer sat down in his car and turned on the ignition and then they drove away from the gruesome scene.
The way there was deathly silent, every time SpongeBob kept thinking back to the scene, his heart would race and he was sure the officer could hear, it felt as if it would pop out of his chest. "So, where are we going" SpongeBob asked, the question cutting through the silence in the room like a knife cut through butter. The fishes gaze turned onto the rear mirror looking SpongeBob right in the eye " Were taking you in for questioning" he curtly replied once again watching the road. SpongeBob breath caught in his throat and questions immediately bubbled in his mind, what did I do, will they let me go home after this, am I in trouble, what happened to Mr. Krabs, is Plankton dead? His thoughts were halted in place as the car screeched to a stop.
They exited the patrol car, the police headquarters loomed overhead casting shadows on the ground. SpongeBob's eyes scanned the building, trying to look inside the windows, but failing because of the fact that they happened to be tinted. The officer pushed the doors, but they didn't open "Stupid old doors" the officer groaned, shoving the door harder until it finally creaked open. The smell of old people, rotten food, and air freshener's assaulted his nose, making his long nose crinkle in dissatisfaction. "Follow me" the officer said leading the sponge to a long hall way, doors lined the long hallway that never seemed to end. They finally stopped in the never ending hallway at a long sleek black door which read "QUESTIONING" in big black letters. The officer briskly walked into the room "Shut the door behind you" said the officer, the door shut with a loud-long creak. SpongeBob walked behind the officer, his eyes zoning in on the little details of the room, a pistol lay on the desk, a notepad and a pen lay on the desk next to the gun. SpongeBob's eyes flickered to the officer's belt; another pistol and a small taser were on it. The officer sat down at a sleek brown wooden desk, "Sit here" the officer said pointing to a chair in front of the desk. "Where were you when the crime occu-"the officer was cut off as his radio buzzed "Officer Mercer is dead, Krabs has escaped, immediately report to Room 78 for further orders" the officer frowned, he sat up "Stay here and don't do anything stupid, you'll only hurt yourself" he said pointing to a camera in the corner of the room glowing a light red. He then locked the door and ran out of the room his shoes quietly tapping against the floor as he ran full speed to the room he was ordered to go to. SpongeBob turned and looked out the small window over the desk, it was getting dark out quickly, the sun was turning a dull pink and orange as it went down creating what most people called a sunset. SpongeBob returned to his chair and began assessing his situation; Mr. Krabs murdered plankton, why? I have yet to learn what exactly happened. I've been brought in for questioning, you don't think that they think I may be a part of it, no I couldn't be I was at the Krusty Krab. Short small pants of breath left SpongeBob's mouth as the scene replayed in his mind he squinted his eyes shut. His eyes fluttered open as he looked outside once again, he stood on shaky legs and walked towards the window it was now nighttime, he hadn't realized how much time had passed when he had been sitting down, and the officer still wasn't back, and if he listened closely he could her the faint screeching off police cars. The moon light soft silver glow was casted through the window and he briefly looked up to the sky for out his window, he let his thoughts go to the recent problems, when he saw a flash above the sea he thought back to the wild horror stories above the ocean. Animal like beings with their body laced with fleshy pink skin, hair that was long and some short, they talked in a language that no fish could understand, some stories spoke of war and hunger raging across their planet, others say that they hunted down fish and kill them, and do God knows what with their bodies. He felt a hand lay itself on his shoulder, upon instinct he turned around, a police officer stood behind him a smile on his blue face.
