Day Nineteen: Back in Action
Private Investigator Silas Pedro Esq. paced in the basement of his house trying to think of a way out of his predicament. He had taken many risks in this game, and escaped many close calls, but this was certainly his toughest task yet. The big Robber pounded against the door again, this time shifting the dresser propped up against it. Silas had a big idea, and moved over to the door. He waited until the Robber was running at the door again, and just as he made contact, Silas pulled the dresser over with all his might, and Silas, the dresser and the Robber all tumbled over onto the floor. The Robber’s gun fired, but it wasn’t even pointed at Silas. Silas jumped up and kicked the Robber’s arm, knocking the gun out of his hand. Without any hesitation, Silas bolted out the door and up the stairs as the Robber reached for his gun and took a couple more shots that followed Silas out of the basement. Silas bolted out of the basement, and ran to the front door, wrenching it open, and jumped into the daylight…
BANG!
The following is the account of Private Investigator Micah George on Day Nineteen:
Together, Micah and Pat lurked around the back of 53 Logger court. Micah had just come to the realization that there was nobody home, but his plan didn’t hinge on anyone being there. This would actually be better for him. Pat was to be the distraction, while Micah took the pictures he would need to take to warrant action by the SWAT team. The Private Investigator’s job in Cops and Robbers was simple: take pictures with incriminating evidence of the Robbers and their whereabouts, take them to the staff member responsible for the SWAT team, and they would put into motion a raid of the Robbers’ hideout, arresting who they could and retrieving any stolen goods or money they can find. Working “as a team” Micah got Pat to go around and break into the front door, while Micah would break through a window.
With any luck, Pat would draw the attention of any Robbers in the buildings (53, 54 and 55 are connected through the basement) while Micah could quickly take some pictures and get out of there. From around the building, Micah heard Pat open and close the door (he had no stealth at all) and he waited 40 seconds before breaking a basement window and squeezing into the room. The realization that the Robbers weren’t there anymore struck him hard. The furniture was still there, but nothing else was. The giant room was stripped bare. Pat lumbered down the stairs and Micah told him that he thought the Robbers were gone, to which Pat responded, “I hadn’t noticed.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PI Michelle Whiting watched the two clowns break into the Robbers’ old hideout from across the street. Their tactics were ridiculous really. Michelle made a bet with herself that in two days she would have those two stooges eliminated and a whole lot of new money in her pocket.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sergeant Chris Clements walked out of the holding cell in the police station, which contained two Robbers, The Hutt and The Stylist. The fact that there used to be five Robbers in there was a testament to how much things had changed for the Cops. Chief Pitman and Deputy Heidman would not stop arguing, and it just seemed that his team was tired, like the lost their vigor. Chris knew one thing for sure, if his two leaders did not stop bickering soon, one of them could lose a lot more than his vigor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Micah nearly jumped out of his skin when someone other than Pat came down the stairs into the basement. It was a girl! After some astute detective work, Micah determined that she was also a Private Investigator and her name was Michelle. After some brief introductions, Michelle launched into her plan about the three of them working together and splitting whatever prize money they earned. It was getting late in the game, and to be honest, Micah thought, he didn’t have much of a chance, because after his plan of using Pat had failed, he didn’t know any other information. Micah agreed, and after some deliberation, so did Pat. Michelle seemed to be glad to have their help. Pat didn’t know what it was, but he just didn’t trust Michelle. Micah on the other hand was happy as a duck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adam “The Chump” Clarke walked down the stairs into the basement of 41 Maple drive followed by a grumpy Menace. It wasn’t The Chump’s fault that the crazed PI leaped out the door and practically ran him over. It was reaction that pulled the trigger, but be that as it may, “Silas” was eliminated, and he was one less PI to worry about. The Menace had wanted that kill, but The Chump was only happy enough to make his second kill of the game. Once they were in the basement, The Chump could see The Architect and The Muscle arguing over something, but he didn’t inquire as to what. Lately it seemed that The Architect could always find something to argue about.
The Standings So Far:
Cops:
Two Robbers arrested and in custody
$150,000 split 11 ways
Robbers:
$10,000 from Flower Convenience
$2,000 from Barbulli Shoes
$100,000 from Naysayer Publishing
$80,000 from Garth’s Printing
$105,000 from The Money Mart
$297,000 split 9 ways
PIs:
Nothing
So today we say goodbye to our good friend Private Investigator Silas Pedro Esq. He gallivanted around town as if he owned the place, escaped trouble time after time, but in the end, an accidental gunshot killed him. Here’s hoping for happier times.
Next time on Cops and Robbers… tempers boil out of control at the Police Station, and The Wit formulates his revenge against The Architect.
BANG!

Good comeback edition Hamilton, you prrrrrrick!
Dirks
I think you made Pat out to be too much of a clod. I, Micah, should be the one bumbling around.
Micah George
Well done Micah. Too bad Pat is a ‘clod’. Although I do think it is suspicious Micah, that your post is under the name ‘Patman’, and with Pat’s picture to boot.
Secondly, Mike, I trust the police will lay aside our petty differences and lay hold of the prize to which God calls us heavenward in Christ Jesus. (or just the money at the end of this game.)
Chris Clements.
Silas...was a straight up gangsta. one love.
i liked it, i liked it alot
way to kill silas.......best move ever in the game.....ye ye
who's the last anonymous?
bye bye silas, now mike dont kill me
with Silas gone I hope to inherit his super powers of action packed reflexes. It's either that or get shot by Pat who turns out to be a robber. Either way I hope Pat gets caught in a bear trap. I would die happily.
I think you made Micah out to be too much of a trusting fool. I, Pat, should be the one who sits smiling like a duck.
Patrick Sutherland
PS. I should get caught in a bear trap in the end.
I think Pitman and I are going to have to duke it out at some point in time, I am not sure if I like my chances against him...hopefully I'll have a gun
SH
i need to get rid of Micah and Pat so i can start working on making all the money and finding the robbers myself. These guys are just not cutting it. i haven't heard too much news from the other PI so i'm thinking she's not too much of a threat. and now with Silas gone, while it's sad, i have a better chance of more denada for myself. winning the game is priority.
