Lawful Evil (Part 4)

[Mongo the Destroyer]

"Dumb thugs, whatcha want
Watcha want, whatcha gonna do?
When Dominicus and Co. come for you
Tell me whatcha wanna do, whatcha gonna do?

Dumb thugs, dumb thugs whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when we come for you?
Dumb thugs, dumb thugs whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when we come for you?

Nobody now give you no break
Police ain’t gonna give you no steak
Dominicus gonna give you some aches
Miss Beckett ain’t givin’ you no cake

Dumb thugs, dumb thugs whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Dumb thugs, dumb thugs whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for yoooou?"

"Dumb thugs, whatcha want
Watcha want, whatcha-"

*Hard cut to Detective Teresa Beckett tossing an mp3 player out the window of the police car her and Lord Dominicus are currently occupying.*

LD: Hey! I worked really hard on that rewrite and recording it just for us!

Beckett: Yeah, and it was cute the first time you played it, but that was over an hour ago and you didn’t make any other tracks

LD: Well duh! I wanted the main song to be perfect!

Beckett: It’s thirty seconds long!

*Domincius huffs and crosses his arms*

*We move to an interview booth segment, Detective Beckett looks tired as she moves a hand over her face explaining the situation*

Teresa Beckett
Lead detective on the Holiday Horror case

“So the Chief thought it’d be a good idea if LD got some experience with a few days of doing ride alongs. I don’t work the streets like this anymore but whatever, they’ll call us if anything happens.”

*Car doors slam as Dominicus and Beckett saunter out *

Beckett: So what do we have going on here?

Criminal: I don’t have no drugs

LD: That means he definitely has drugs, right?

*Beckett nods as the suspect walks directly up to the camera*

Criminal: Look man, I’m just trying to feed my family. Nothing wrong with feeding my family right?

LD: Hey! Stop talking to the camera! That’s my job! You’re supposed to pretend it doesn’t exist!

*The suspect suddenly is agitated and bolts*

Becket: Son of a biscuit!

Lord Dominicus
NPW North American Double Crown Champion

“And then I said, ‘If you want us to act as a team, why don’t you put us on some team building activities?’ Even Gus Arnold planned ahead on that one and continually put Eron Hunter and I in close quarters repeatedly before our first match together”

*Back in the squad car, Beckett drives while looking around*

LD: Yeah, so he got away

Beckett: He didn’t get away; it was a strategic move to let him tire himself out first so we can pick him up after he’s gotten some exercise.

LD: Ah, I get it. Like how I ignored Keith Williams and Neo James Carner and their friends in order to save my own energy for more important matches like the one we have at Honor’s Fight for the Fallen?

Beckett: What?

LD: You know, my match. The one where I’m teaming up with Eron Hunter, currently calling himself Lynx, to take down the ReVenants?

Beckett: I know the match, you won’t shut up about it. I’m confused how that has anything to do with the situation we’re in.

Teresa Beckett
Doesn’t watch wrestling

“No for real, he wouldn’t shut up about it at all. I guess he was up against these two thugs, that’s what he called them. Now that I think about it, maybe the song rewrite was more for them than for us.”

*Back in the car*

Beckett: Are you sure he went this way?

LD: About as sure as I am that The ReVenants shouldn’t have screwed up my match the other day- well, the match I was officiating. Reffing is really hard, and it doesn’t help when the people in the match are really interested in cheating. And why is Eron even wearing a mask? We all know who he is. Anyway I’m glad to have him as a partner.

Beckett: So….does that mean you’re very sure?

Lord Dominicus
Dark Lord of NPW

“Honestly the mask is more convenient, now we match better than we did when we teamed previously. I know that we’re being built as some sort of team-in-conflict, but that’ll be our advantage. In truth I absolutely trust Eron because he’s a pretty straightforward guy, he makes a great henchman. ‘Can they work together?’ Absolutely! It’s not that hard to team up to punch NJC and Keith in the face, you could get two guys who hate each other to agree on that one!”

*Getting out of the car we find the suspect who ran now on the side of the road laying in the grass breathing heavily*

Criminal: Ok ok, I admit, I had drugs.

Beckett: Alright then, get in the car and we’ll take you in and try to get you some help

LD: That’s it? We’re not gonna shoot anyone?

Beckett: This is Canada, we do things differently here

Teresa Beckett
Canadian

“Do I trust Dominicus? Yeah I guess. I mean the guy absolutely has his own agenda, but when that agenda coincides with the people around him, he’ll give it his all regardless.  Plus it helps that we won't let him have a real gun”

*Back in the car. LD, Beckett, and the criminal are eating pizza while pulled off to the side of the road. Yes, they’re sharing with the criminal, this is Canada, they do things differently here*

LD: You know, Teresa here is like a prettier version of Lynx. She helps me take down scum, doesn’t judge me for being EVIL, and isn’t gonna stab me in the back. The ReVenants, like crime, don’t stand a chance against us!

Criminal: Oh yeah, you’ve had great luck with partners it seems. Thanks for the pizza by the way guys, I was super hungry

Beckett: Haha, I mean you did run a total of four kilometers

Criminal: Well if I knew there’d be pizza waiting I probably wouldn’t have bolted!

*They all laugh and continue eating as an instrumental version of the opening theme plays and we fade out*
