All these people walking the streets at night, shame something
might get stolen. I walk past a man who is looking at a market
stall just leaving his wallet exposed, laughable. I take the
wallet and bump into a woman stealing her necklace in the
process, I duck into an alley to check what I got. The wallets a
bust 5 bucks in it and not even a credit card, the necklace is a
fine white gold chain with a sapphire in the center, now that is
worth something. Suddenly a van turns up to us, we've been
living on the streets since the Delevega orphanage closed down
no one cared and no one here has any skills I've been the one
keeping all of us alive. But a girl comes out in a 1950s style
dress and a stereotypical hairdo to boot. "Hello children I bet
youre all very hungry yes? We have more then enough food, were
from the mayors outreach program, but let me not make a fool of
myself my name is patty and my friend their is named Doug." A
man Is driving in a classic relax wear style outfit "Howdy ho
orpahnrinos?" "If anyone would like some food please come."
Everyone flocks but I stay back and climb up a fire escape just
in case. I was right, the lady injects a couple kids with a
syringe and they pass out, she puts them into her van. A
homeless man comes up to intervene but Doug shoots him in the
chest. One of the poor kids I think his name is billy starts
running but is tackled by him and thrown through a window. He
looks up at me and I do the only thing I can, I run.
"Hmm, peculiar." "What Michal who cares bums die all the damn
time who cares?" "That's just it Harvey this one is shot who
takes the time to shoot a bum?" "Probably over drugs or
something all I know is that its lunch break and I couldn't care
less." "Well lets wait for the crime scene team to show up huh?"
I watch from the rooftop why does no one ever look up? The city
is now bathed in a golden hue, no one noticing or caring what
happened, a beat cop meets with the two detectives. "Hey I saw
something last night, see I was at Chez Vous down the block and
I was taking care of this kid who jumped through a window or
something." "Was the kid high?" "No sir but he was telling about
a van or something." "And you didn't report it Jesus you suck at
your job." "I was doing my best to take care of a hurt kid!" "Oh
you're like a mommy bird? Did you chew his food for him to?" The
cops get into a fight but they stop when the fat one spills his
coffee. "Oh sonofa bitch!" "Oooh sorry sir." "No youre not sorry
its all over my clothes now. You need to control youre temper."
"Can you show us where this kid is please?"
We take the witness back to the police station and give him some
hot chocolate to calm him down. "Alright son can you tell us
what happened?" The kid looks like he hasn't eaten in days, and
his clothes are all raggedy and with holes and poorly stitched
attempts to fix them. His pale complexion is doubled with the
fact he looks like he's been out in the cold for weeks. "All
through out this city orphans are.....There being kidnapped
and-" "Cut the crap kid it was jus you and a homeless man in an
alley you thought he had food killed him ad jumped through a
window to try and get away its obvious!" "No im telling the
truth.. Just talk to Alyssa she will tell you." "The kids
Hysterical." "The kid might be telling the truth. We should at
least follow up on this Alyssa girl." "No mike we shouldn't he
killed this dude clear as day book him and lets call it a day."
"Were telling all this to the captain now!"
A rainy country back road is where a dirt and wet man slowly
walks. A sports car stops and he walks towards it. When he gets
close the car drives away but stops a little down the road. He
gets in the car, one of the two men turns to him. "Dude you
smell awful." And sprays him with cologne., "Thank you for
that." "So what the hell are you doing way outside of Astro
City?" "Arrogance, mostly I worked with powerful people and they
knew what I knew and... But ill be back smarter than ever." "Yo
man I wasn't listening but have a beer, you sound like you need
it." "Thank you. This is nice, coming back to my city fresh and
new, and sharing a beer with my new friends." "Hell yes man."
"Could I bother you to straighten your tie?" He looks at the
man. "Sorry its just that im OCD and I forgot to take my pills,
had to leave in a hurry." 'Dude it doesn't matter its fine." "Oh
ill just do it for you." He breaks his bottle and stabs the man
in the throat.
"Seriously Mike is just being an asshole, the case is closed and
there's no reason to dig at nothing!" "Michael there is no I in
team." "But there is a me in it!" ".....Thank you Harvey." "But
something doesn't add up, the boy swears two people named Patty
and Doug are the ones behind the disappearances." Suddenly a man
walks into the office. "Hello Kobe how was your vacation?" A
light skinned and tall black man in a doctors outfit but still
in sneakers answers. "Good sir, I just got done doing the tests
on the kid, his blood stream if filled with ATP, that stuff you
can only get at one place..... Blackgate. The thing is its never
been used as a street drug to get kicks.... Not that I would
know." "We have to tell the people let them know about-" "No way
Michel that might scare people, the last thing I want is to
cause a panic, I want you two to look into this Blackgate
business." "But sir Blackgate has been closed for 10 years
there's no point." "He doesn't want to go there cause its Fish
Mooney's turf." "That to." As the two detectives walk out of the
ASPD station Jordan stumbles over a doll on the bottom of the
steps. "What the hell is this?" "Oh jeez another one of those?
That's like the 4th or 5th one." "Do they have to be like 4 ft
long?"
THE FISHERY: Fish Mooney is sitting in her booth watching a band
play classic swing music when Carmine Scaleta walks in, he puts
his suit jacket and hat at the front and comes to Fish. "Carmine
pleasure to see you again." "We need to talk Fish, I spoke to
Sherman before he died, he said to me that you....Of all people
were going to try to whack me. Now I didn't want to believe him
but... Its starting to make scence." "You can talk to mrs-"
"Butch deal with him." Carmines man starts to beat the man up in
the middle of the restaurant. "There will be consequences for
the death of the Delevegas, me and them we was family." "Carmine
please of course Sherman was going to say anything to save his
skin, but I would never hurt you, you're like a father to me."
"That's what I like to hear." He stands up, "A toast to the
beautiful Fish Mooney!"
Sherman drives up to a storage facility and walks to the owner.
"How much?" "Hundred bucks a week what you storing?" "Oh just
this and that." "Hmmm mind if I take a look?' "No! There's no
reason I assure you I wont be a hassle." Sherman takes the two
bodies from his car and puts them in the warehouse.
Two children wake in a dark room they both sit up and look at
each other. "Jim where are we?" "I don't know Sally.: They look
up and see a hole at the top and they can faintly hear music
coming from it.
The two detectives arrive at the Fishery and Harvey speaks
first. "Fish lovely to see you, hey you're still not mad about
that time we did that thing right?" "Do not worry Harvey I am
still fond of you, and am intrigued by you're partner. I am
sorry about the whole trying to kill you thing though, im sure
by now its water under the bridge." "Ive had enough, what do you
know about the abductions Mooney?" "Congratulations by the way
on dispatching Sherman for me, so don't try the whole high and
mighty act on me Jordan you're like me and everyone else in this
city... A sinner." "Were looking for the whereabouts of two
people, dressed in 1950s clothing, a man and a woman?" 'Ya and
some kind of poison only available at Blackgate." "Alright I may
know of a buyer of children, he wants them young and healthy.
But I don't care to know what for.
Michael is sitting on his bead overlooking the skyline, he
bought this clocktower for cheap something about a court
inhabiting it back in the 1800s or something when his wife
Yvette walks in, her red hair going past her shoulders and
wearing nothing but a night gown. "GODDMAN!" "Hey honey what's
wrong you seem different." "Its this case, some creep is buying
kids and drugging them with poison I want to tell the press
but..." "But what they have anonymous tips right?" "They do but
I cant im a cop." "You might be but im not." "No way that's"
"That's what, I shouldn't tell parents that there kids might be
kidnapped?" "The right thing to do."
"Goddamn it Patty look at this!" He holds up the newspaper
headline. "Were in deep now...We should ask for at least 5000
more." "Now way honey you know the Dollmaker doesn't play like
that." "This... This isn't my problem I can leave." "Ohh no now
what would doug say about that?" She stabs the man with a
syringe." "OH god im going to die were all going to hell!" The
glow of flashing lights announces the arrival of the police,
much to Patty's disgust. The police bust in adnd she shuts off
the lights they all begin shooting. Michael sees her run out and
get away in the van, but he manages to get all the kids out
safely.
"HAHHA! Great job boys, don't worry we will be taking care of
those orphans ASAP!" "Thank you mayor but, where will they be
taken?" "Detective.. That is none of you're business." 'Youre
just using crime to get the kids off you're streets!' "Detective
I couldn't give a damn what you think." a limo pulls up and
Albert steps outside "Jordan I need youre help, Omar... Hes been
getting worse, I need you to come during tea time." "You have
tea time?" "FUCK YA NIGGA THAT SHITS GOOD PUT SOME HERBAL SHIT
IN THERE THAT SHITS BITCHING NOW GET YO NON TEA DRINKING ASS IN
THIS MOTHA FUCKA!"
Omar has grown out his hair and is drawing anime characters and
listening to Linkin Park. 'My god its worse than I thought hes
become a faggot!" "What?" "Hes been burning and cutting himself
recently and.... I don't know what to do." "Have you thought
about taking him to a therapist?" "No he's a Delevega he will
work through this, he needs to choose his own path. I just
thought you could help him along." "You worry to much Albert,
but he is right ive been testing myself to see how much pain I
can take." "Talking can help." "Ive heard about what happened to
the children I feel for them, ill but them new clothes." "You
think that will help?" "Why wouldint it?" "You just cant throw
money at a problem and expect it to go away you have to do
something about it." "I see Albert escort Mr. Jordan home I... I
have to think."
All the kids are being put on a bus when Alyssa says to the cop
"No this is a mistake, I was supposed to talk to Michael
Jordan." "You can have your one phone call at juvie." "No screw
you!" "Get on the bus!" She is forced onto the bus and sits next
to a crying kid, "Hey come on juvies not that bad, just never
talk to anyone who's nice to you in the first week and if anyone
hassles you go for the eyes." A woman gets on the bus shes
wearing a familiar 1950s dress and Alyssa tries to get off the
bus but she stops her. "Come on child we wouldint want anything
bad to happen to you do we?" She kills the driver and takes them
to a warehouse. She unloads the kids off but is missing one. She
checks the seats and Alyssa hides underneath the seat. "Hmmm I
guess I made a mistake counting."
Harvey beats the crap out of a dude with a big ass phone book
"Alright alright there was a picture on the side of a bus."
"WHAT WAS IT!" "A blue plate with a silver fork. "DRAW IT."
"Jordan I have no goddamn idea what this is." "Its a trident....
I know where they are!"
Patty and Doug unload the kids into a crate labeled Trident
shipping they close the crate, when all of a sudden a guard runs
in screaming his uniform is ripped open and he is missing his
eyes. "PATTY SOME BITCH SHE SHE!" "Don't worry youll be fine."
She shoots him in the head and looks around the warehouse for
the person.She turns the corner to some crates and she sees a
white gold necklace, she aims the gun at the box but is knocked
out by detective Jordan "SLAM DUNK THESE NUTS BITCH!" Harvey
holds doug with a gun to his head. "WHERE ARE THE KIDS!"
"Alright kids you will all be brought to juvie under police
protection, wont that be fun?" "Let me talk to Detective
Jordan!" "No way kid he's busy." "Let me talk to him or ill say
you touched me." He looks at her. "What?" "Get him in three
seconds or ill scream 1...... 2...." "Alright wait right here."
Jordan walks up to her. "You wanted to tak to me show much you
were going to accuse someone of sexual assault?" "I have
information you need." "What?" "Can you get me out of here?"
"Depends on what you tell me?"
"I know who killed the Delevegas."
