Knightfall: At the GCPD
with Chris and Loren
1998/10/18
[...Loren <yu214952@yorku.ca> begins...]
: Chris: Oh, I don't think it says anything about Robin's age in the
book, but I'm not certain...
Loren: Dammit, Chris! Essen's gonna have our hide if we don't resolve
this! I've had to wash her car *twice* now, to make
sure she
didn't mention to the Commissioner about why this
case of ours
is taking so long!
Chris: Well, ya know, it'd help if that other so-called vice cop would
get up off his butt and start doing something around
here. :)
Where the heck is that Wayne guy, anyway?
Renee: You mean Hotu? He and Bullock went down to Verda Mae's for the
usual dozen they share between them...though I think
Harvey's
the one with more of an appetite... :)
Chris: You got that right, Montoya. ;)
Chris proceeds to dial up some curious number on the phone from his
desk. Pettit comes in, and looks bored out of his mind.
Billy: Man, I can't believe how slow it's been around here lately. I'm
goin' down to the range for some target practice...
Soong: Mind if I tag along?
Billy: Aw, man...! [Pettit gives in] Fine, junior. You get to hang
up the targets for me. And if you should somehow get
hit by
a stray, then we'll see if you've earned that stupid
name of
yours, "Survivor". :)
Pettit and Soong head to the shooting range. After a good night's
sleep, Bock comes in for his shift at work.
Stan: Hey, guys, look, it's Hardback! Been to the library yet today,
Bock? ;)
MacKenzie: Real funny, Kitch. That line was old a *long* time ago.
Loren: Hardback! Got any copies of Knightfall lying around?
Bock checks his desk, which is astonishingly well-kept, organized
flawlessly.
MacKenzie: Sorry, guys. I lent out my only copy to that lazy excuse for
a cop, Wayne Hotu. :) Maybe you should ask *him* where you
can find Robin's official age in there...
Loren: Thanks, Bock. I'll get right on it. Coming, partner?
[...Wayne
<stony@ihug.co.nz> continues...]
Hotu saunters in, humming to himself.
Wayne: Hollywood... da da da da da da da... Hollywood! Hey gang, what's
up?
Chris: Where's Harvey?
Wayne: When I left him down at the doughnut shop, it seemed like he
was going for another record. As I walked out, I
heard him say
"Give me some sugar, baby." Sick, man, real
sick.
Loren: Have you still got that Knightfall book that you borrowed off
Bock?
Wayne: Y'know, it's the weirdest thing...I was reading it in my office
and I was just getting to this part about that
millionaire guy...
can't remember his name...when Old Man Gordon called
me to check
on how my cases were doing. When I got back, the book
was gone!
Chris: Wow, spooky!
Wayne: Nah, I saw Harvey reading it later, the little thief. Anyway,
I'm outta here, I've gotta hot date tonight.
Loren: Liar! Who with?
Wayne: Oh, this high school teacher I know. She's a real tiger too...
You guys better watch out, though. I saw Essen
heading this way
with a bucket and some car wax.
Loren & Chris: <groan>
