Day Twenty: Boiling Point

Matt “The Wit” Binnington and Dan “The Cold Killer” Wylie crept around in the shadows across the street from 41 Maple Drive. The Wit knew that The Architect was probably in that house right now, but he wasn’t about to make any mistakes at this point in the game. His plan was to go in there, explain to the team what happened, and hopefully kill The Architect. It was a simple plan, but as The Wit knew all to well, nothing goes smoothly in Cops and Robbers. Tomorrow whatever happens, will happen.

---------------------------------------------------------

PI Nathalie Hainaut stood in line at thee grocery store, as her food had basically run out. She had kept to herself this entire game so far, and that wasn’t going to change. She was sitting on some very important information. With the whereabouts of the Robbers’ current hideout, Nathalie knew that she could have some of them arrested today, but she wanted to wait a little while. If she kept a close eye on the hideout, maybe after a big heist she could get all the Robbers arrested, as well as recover whatever money they stole. Nathalie knew with a little patience she could make a lot of money.

The Following is the account of Deputy Chief Scott Heidman on Day Twenty:

Deputy Heidman sat at his desk in the Police Station doodling on a piece of paper. In the station with him were Officer Tyla Leonard and Lt. Amanda Maurice. The two of them were chatting about boys or something, but it was of no consequence to Heidman. He was angry. His team had lost two members to this point, Officer Phil Siebenmorgan, and Lt. Mike Wilson, and neither of which were his fault. But somehow, Chief Kyle Pitman had the nerve to place the blame on him. Chief Pitman was supposed to be in charge, but not only had he let the Robbers free three of their own members from jail, he had failed to make any progress on any of the heists that have already occurred in the game.

All Chief Pitman would say is “Go on patrol.” Patrols, patrols, patrols… What happened to being creative and taking chances? It was time for a change of management. It was then that his thought materialized into the object of his disdain, as Chief Kyle Pitman walked into the station with Sergeant Clements and Officer Edwards. Immediately, Chief Pitman told Deputy Heidman to take Lt. Mandy and go on a patrol. Not this time, Heidman thought and he said no. As if expecting the heated response, Chief Pitman reached behind his back pulled out his gun and pointed it at Deputy Heidman, and told him again.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sergeant Tyler Wells could not believe what he was looking at. The Cold Killer and most likely the other Robber that had freed him were sneaking around houses in the residential area. With Sgt. Wells was Captain Nathan Dirks, as the two of them had become good friends. When this other Robber had freed The Cold Killer, Sgt. Wells had vowed that his main goal in the rest of the game would be to eliminate or arrest The Cold Killer, but Wells was not too proud to put his own goals ahead of those of his team. He would wait. He would wait until these two Robbers led him to their hideout.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Deputy Chief Heidman whipped out his gun in an instant and pointed it at his superior officer. Chief Pitman was doing a terrible job at running this team, and it was going to have to change today. He told Chief Pitman was he thought about his leadership for the hundredth time, but in this case he added a whole rant about the Chief giving up his position and getting out of his way. Heidman looked over at the other Cops in the room and almost laughed aloud. Sergeant Clements looked white as a ghost, and Officer Edwards had actually seated himself on the flood with his head in his hands. Chief Pitman yelled loudly to the other Cops about who, if anyone agreed with Deputy Heidman. For what seemed like a minute, no one made a sound, until Officer Edwards spoke up. Steve told Pitman that he probably could have done something about the jailbreak, and that as a team more should have been done up to this point. To that, Chief Pitman’s face went beet red, he threw down his hat, told the team that he quit and stormed out into the night. (Deputy) Chief Heidman couldn’t help the smile that came to his face.

PI Michelle Whiting sat at a table drinking coffee with her new “friends” Micah and Pat. Tomorrow would be the day that she led them to the slaughter. Tomorrow would be the day that they are the bait, and she takes the pictures she needs to make a call to the SWAT team. Happy times for Michelle.
