Miniopia Detective Agency

[Zzyxx]

Variah howled loudly when all the bricks began milling about, she noticed that coach was leaving and she began to follow it, sticking to the shadows so as not to be seen, as her master had been training her.
-meanwhile-
Zzyxx remained bellow the rim of the building till much of the action died down. He knew something was goin on and he intended to find out what, but he didn't want to get shot so he didn't poke his head up to look. Once the action died down, he shadow melded behind the shooter. A loud scream could be heard and, about a second later, a man's head exploded on the pavement below. Zzyxx then shadow melded again. comming out of a shadow near a man with a Bowler Cap who appeard to be running away. Zzyxx was trying to blend in with te crowd to see who reacted like a pedestrian, and who reacted like a proffessional.

(OOC: just to let everyone know, not as a MOD [since im not a MOD ] but as a frequent RPer, that this shouldn't have any fighting or action of some sort, but should be a thread about a detective agency, and any action relating to outside occurances of the agency should be made in the scenario battles thread. Thank you...and good day)

Tobias just smiled, as he put down the explosive, and stepped out of the van. He proceeded back into the agency with venus, and sat down: "Ok...lets just say that my last trip was unfruitful...yet it did tell me one thing: we aren't dealing with just a silly fan club."

[Venus]

"Ah, alright..yeah...crazed is more like it...Im really clueless on what to do here..but im betting that we need backup and sneakier plans, wouldnt you agree?" *she smiled as she looked around and then back at Tobs*

"Guard Dog Two to Gamebird, Guard Dog Two to Gamebird, over."

"This is Gamebird."

"Pidgeon seems to have picked up a tail, here, sir." The crackling voice of the gateman was light with laughter. "You want I should take 'preventative actions'?"

The corner of Fowler's mouth twitched upward again. "You know the rules, Jim. Nothing in or out unscheduled. If he tries too hard, you are authorized to stop him with all due force. Deadly force, if necessary."

"But sir, it's just a dog. Mangy stray, too, by the look of it."

"So is Lord Grey, from time to time. If he were to try to come through that gate, I would order him dead in an instant. Gamebird out."

His smile now long gone, Duck Fowler increased his pace of walking, ducked abruptly into an alleyway muttered something under his breath, and vanished without a trace.


Suddenly, a steel gate sprang up just as the coach passed under a bridge, seperating it from its canine follower. The coach never emerged from the other side of the bridge. Another mission, successfully completed. Operations would not be pleased, pleased was not within their range of moods, but they would not be angry, and this was good. A Brick had been delivered home safe and sound, and his identity still remained a secret to the populace. Miniopian Clandestine Operations would consider its job well done.

Duck Fowler, Private Investigator, was back on the job. Sometimes he wondered why he still let them call him back from time to time. Today, he remembered, though. It was a good excuse for him to keep tabs on Gunner, and Jim, and the rest of the old crew. And a good excuse to toss back a few at the Wench afterwards.

[Tobias]

Tobias nodded, but not quite surely. "Either that, or we should really let things take a turn and see what happens in future events. If anything, we need to get them surprised if we are to catch them off guard...which is gonna be tough, since they are professionals."

[Zzyxx]

Zzyxx realized when Variah returned that A Brick had gotten away. He patted Variah on the head and began to walk towards the offices, no need to attract attention to himself by shadow melding after all. there was no need to be either secretive, or show his affilation.

~~hours later~~

Zzyxx returned to the offices and sat ast his desk looking over files involing the case of the mysterious tablet. True, it wasn't anything viatl, but he knew he could use it for something. Maybe it would even help get rid of Xanximarx... he was careflu not to let his thoughts dwell on hat subject, no need to call it's attention.

[Excel Zero]

-He sees Zzyxx walk back in-

"Zzyxx, join me please"

-He kicks out a chair-

"I am without a partner and I wonder if you'd like to work with me a bit on this brick case. You seem to want a partner and I need one. What do you say?"

[Zzyxx]

Zzyxx shrugs and extends his hand

"You got yourself a partner, oh heres what i know about A Brick: he made his move out of the city limits just today, i saw it go down, there were armed guards and fake bricks running around like mad, and my wolf followed them as far as the bridge. Then *poof* the carriage he was in Vanished."

[Excel Zero]

-Changes bulletin board while listening-

"I think we need to call everyone back for an update soon. It's odd you know? There is this part of me that thinks he's a person out for a plan. The other part of me thinks he is a pawn of the system. The problem is when we answer one question we get three more."

-Turns and looks back at Zzyxx and leans over with his hands on the table-

"Why does he only show up for a few brief days then dissapear? What is his agenda? Most of all....why me? What do I have to do with it? That's why I took this up you know. I wanted to figure out what he had to do with me, then shortly after he got to me. I don't know why I let it happen but now I want to uncover him and find out his plan."

-He turns back to look at the evidence board-

"I don't know what will satisfy me more; if I find his plan and put him away or if I find he is just here to be a citizen with an unwanted cult following. Anyway, go ahead and contact the agents and bring em back."

[Zzyxx]

"Yes sir. I'll be back soon."

Zzyxx puts on his duster and walks out the door, he explores the whole of the city, and tell the agents just outside the door to come on in.

"Ok, now i just need to find Tobs and Venus."
