[QUOTE="talien, post: 4123474, member: 3285"] [b]Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays: Part 7b – A Body to Die For[/b] Hammer and Jim-Bean arrived a few minutes after the stripper fell to her death. The police had cordoned off the area. “This is very important!” shouted Hammer, flashing his badge. “Who’s in charge here?” A police lieutenant came forward. “I am. Lieutenant John Masterson.” “I want to know who touched this corpse!” shouted Jim-Bean. “Nobody leaves the area until I say so!” Masterson shrugged. “Fine. Not like we had anything else to do at three in the morning.” Guppy and Archive were investigating the vehicle. “Hey, I found something!” shouted Guppy over the comm. “What is it?” asked Blade. He was distracted, trying to eye every police officer at once, who were in turn glaring at him. “There’s this weird transparent basketball in the back of the car,” said Archive. “Probably the thing’s ship,” said Guppy. “Hey, wait…uh oh.” “Uh oh?” asked Caprice on the line. “What do you mean by uh oh?” “It’s beeping,” said Guppy. Blade spun to face Masterson. “Everybody out!” “What? I thought we were supposed to stay put…” “I know what I said! There’s a bomb in the car. Everybody OUT!” A second later, Guppy, Caprice and Archive sprinted past them. The beeping was louder, more insistent. They could hear even from several feet away. That was enough for the police who stopped what they were doing and ran. Blade dove for cover behind the van. Jim-Bean, who was closest to the sedan, sighed and took a cigarette out of his pocket. He was far too close to the blast to get away in time. The sphere kept beeping. Jim-Bean tapped the cigarette twice, drew it, and put it in his mouth. The beeping became a high-pitched whine. Then the blinking lights on the sphere shut off and it stopped beeping. “A distraction,” snarled Blade over the comm. “That was to fake us out. It jumped into somebody else.” He sought out Masterson again. “We’re taking that sphere.” “Oh no you’re not!” Masterson barked back at him. “I called in the bomb squad. I don’t care who the hell you are, no Fed is going to tell me to stay, then to leave, then take evidence critical to the investigation. If that’s a bomb, my boys will take care of it. If it isn’t, it’s evidence, and it goes back to the police station with us.” “Fine,” Blade growled back. “But we’re going with it.” “Suit yourself,” said Masterson. He swore under his breath and walked away to address the bomb squad team that had just arrived. Still alive, Jim-Bean looked around. With a shrug, he flipped out a lighter and lit his own cigarette.
