                                           The Fool, the Cop and the Crazy

       Officer Dimly Lit saw Trooper approaching and quickly opened the driver side door to their squad car and hurried over and opened the hood of the car so trooper could inspect the engine block. Then Eagleton's rookie cop stood in front of the car and assumed the position of parade rest.
       Trooper walked over and looked at the rookie inspecting his student uniform.
How could a person with a law enforcement family such as yours have sired such a fool? Trooper pondered to himself, on the outside Dimly Lit looked like any other cop until he opened his mouth.
     "As always your uniform is squared away Dim--- Rookie" Trooper caught himself before he called his student Dimly Lit.  Maybe Lt. Smith was right, maybe the way to reach Stise was to be nice to him. Trooper than moved to take a look at the engine block of the car, he nodded his head up and down in approval then thought to himself I'll clean the engine block once our shift is over.
       "Rookie close the hood of your car and mount up!" Trooper said hopping in the driving side door and grabbing his Ray Ban's that he kept in the overhead visor. Stise closed the hood and hoped in the passenger seat.
"Good job rookie, you probably clean everything from the engine block right down to the door jams" Trooper looked at Stise and smiled keeping in mind Lt Terry Smith suggestion of being nice to him.
" Um? Door Jams?" Stise looked confused then stared at the inside of the car door as if it might point to where the door jam might be located. Trooper sighed
"Rookie you do know where the Door jam is on a car don't ya?" Trooper asked excepting the answer to be yes.
Stise looked at his trainer then back at the car door he had never even heard of a door jam. "I'm sure it's on the door somewhere sir" Trooper smacked his paw against his head in disbelief. Trooper turned his head to noticed two motorcycle cops just heading out on patrol. With a deep sigh Trooper looked at his trainee "Let's just head out on patrol shall we." Trooper looked at Stise and he nodded back.
    Trooper picked up the Mic and keyed it up
"Dispatch K-009" Trooper said
"Go head K-009" the dispatcher replied
"10-41 in commission 160 mileage 56,241 signal 48 with T-K-009"
Translation "Beginning tour of duty in car #160 mileage 56,241 I'm riding along with my trainee who has no badge number yet"
As Trooper placed the car into drive, Lt Smith heard Trooper over the radio and rode his motorcycle alongside so he could speak with Sgt Trimberwolf.
"Gas!!" Trooper barked, as Stise pressed the gas pedal with his one hand and had the other free in case Trooper yelled for the brake.
"Ah Sgt?" Lt Smith said driving parallel to Trooper's squad car.
"BRAKE!!!, yes sir?" as Stise hit the brakes Trooper looked over at the motorcycle Lt.
"Maybe Officer Stise might learn more if he drove instead of working the gas pedal and the brake for you? Just saying" The Lt smiled
"Do I have to?" Trooper remarked
"It might be helpful if your trainee actually knew the city streets, I don't think he can do that under the dash board of your squad car SGT Timberwolf" Lt Smith just looked at him then sighed and put the car in park.
"All right rookie your driving" Trooper said knowing he was going to regret this decision. Stise quickly sat in the driver's seat, his day was just getting better and better.
"Were to boss?" Stise said very excited
"The nearest Wal-greens and step on it!!"  Trooper groaned, anticipating the head ach that was to follow.

     The mood in the squad car was tense Stise had tried to make polite conversation but Trooper wasn't being particularly talkative.  There was the normal silence that the rookie cop became aware of. Trooper cell phone rang he hit his blue tooth with his paw.
"Hello" Trooper said looking out the passenger side window
"So how's it going?" Lt Smith said
"Great, I'm just about ground all my teeth right down to my gums, beyond that were fine Lt." Trooper tuned his head slightly to see Stise staring at him.
"If you don't keep your eyes on the road, you're going to finish out this shift from the trunk. Do I make myself clear?!  Trooper snapped at his nosey rookie.
"Now, Now Trooper, what did we talk about at the station?" Lt Smith said with a light hearted smile
"I know I know make nice, but we have nothing in common boss" Trooper sighed looking out at the rain clouds off in the distance.
"Trooper if you can't even try, then I don't think you're the right caliber officer to become a part of this squad!" Lt snapped.  Smith figured Trooper might need some help that's why he called. Then he continued "Have you talked to him?"
"About police work?" Trooper asked
"No Trooper, not about police work. How about talking to your rookie about himself" The Lt Smith simply said.
"I wouldn't know what to say" Trooper admitted softly.
"What kind of brother officer would I be if I wasn't willing to help? Now here's what we are going to do."

"So ah, Stise do you like sports?" Trooper asked as Lt Smith spoke ideas into his ear via the blue tooth.
"Depends on the sport Boss" Stise said
"Well what your favorite sport?" Trooper asked expecting the answer to be volleyball.
"Well I like Rodeo, or speed events on horseback" Stise answered but, both Trooper and Lt Smith were silent both cops couldn't believe it. It seemed that Trooper's mild mannered rookie cop had some backbone after all.
"Ask him what he did before he became a cop" Lt Smith said into Trooper's blue tooth.
"So Stise what did you do before you got on the job?" Trooper had pegged Stise for the banker type.
"I was a CPA at a bank for 15 years boss" Stise commented meekly he knew his job wasn't the most glamorous.
"CPA that's—" The Lt began  but Trooper Interrupted him.
" I know what it is Lt" Trooper snapped knowing he should at least complement him on it.
"Certified Public Accountant for 15 years that real impressive Stise" Trooper even managed to smile. He was right he was a banker but he never dreamed his trainee was so smart.
"Ah no sir, CPA that's Car Parking Attendant" Stise said nodding his head.
Both Lt Smith and Trooper both had their mouth's wide open at the rookie officers response.
"Hey look a hot dog stand, hey boss can I get some Hot Dogs?" Stise asked excited. Trooper just stared at the rookie in disbelief from his last response.
" A---- sure  thing, knock yourself out" Trooper said in total bewilderment. Once Trooper was alone he paused for a moment then spoke to his Lieutenant on the blue tooth.
"Lt. Smith if you don't mind I'm going to smack my head against the window for a while"

    By 4 o'clock it started to rain, it was dark and wet and most people were off the road. Stise had stopped the patrol car at a red light directly across from the Ali En Vet & Grooming shop. When suddenly the door burst open from the vet's office and a small Chinese crested came running out and opened the back door to their squad car and got in. Stise and Trooper looked at each other totally bewildered then both of them looked at the dog at the same time. The dog only had hair on his head and paws and tail. His hair was white and black and had a wild look to it. His eyes were wild as if he was in some sort of panic. Trooper pegged him for a crazy the moment he jumped in the back of their patrol car. Stise stared at the dog in total bewilderment.
"Don't just sit there you fool our lives are in danger!!! DRIVE YOU FOOL DRIVE!!   The dog said waving his paws in the air. Without a word Stise turned and floored the patrol car.  "Where should we go?" The rookie said, he was starting to get scared.
"The nearest nut house will do fine" Trooper said still staring at the dog that nervously looked about. Trooper noticed the crested carried a small shoulder bag.

"Now then why don't you tell us what's going on?" Trooper said placing his paw on his holster. Trooper didn't know what was in the bag but he wasn't about to be taken by surprise.  The crested looked around he was clearly in a panic then spoke. "We have been invaded by aliens from another planet!!" the Chinese crested nodded.
This is what I get for being nice to Stise, I go against my nature and I've just thrown the cosmic order of things out of whack!! Trooper said to himself.
   "Pull over rookie" Trooper starred right at the crested sitting in the back seat his eyes narrow.  Stise did as he was told and pulled the car over.
"Now let's take this from the top shall we who are you and what is going on?" Trooper sneered at Chinese Crested.
"Well let me just—"The dog began to say sticking his paw inside the bag. Trooper reacted quickly and grabbed the dog by the throat with his paw lifted him off the seat and began to squeeze.  Trooper had no idea what was in the bag it could have been a weapon and his responsibility was the safety of him and his partner.
Stise saw the dog skinny paws clawing at Troopers massive paw. The rookie know he had to do something but disobeying or questioning his FTO was not what he wanted to do. "Sir please this is cruel and inhuman punishment" The rookie insisted.
"Its ok kid, you see he's a dog and I'm a timber wolf so technically were now human. And being a timber wolf that puts me on top of the k-9 gene pool, so I think it's allowed. Now go check that bag for weapons" Trooper smiled he was enjoying watching the small dog squirm in his paws.
"So did you have anything to say before we take you back to that vet's office and have you put down?" Trooper said with an evil grin, he thought of the many times police officers were gunned down because someone managed to pull a weapon out of a hiding place.
"Mind Controlled Lackey!!" The crested managed to get out, the timber wolf's grip was strong he was no physical match for the powerful K-9. Stise had opened the back door and grabbed the bag he looked inside.
"Well what's he carrying a 9 mil? A 40 cal?" Trooper asked quickly
"A hat made of out aluminum foil!" Stise lifted the hat out of the bag.
"Ah-----no idea" Stise wasn't sure what it was but it looked like a metal pizza slicer with metal antennas  fashioned to the wheel and a plastic dial glued to the handle.
"Give me that!!" Trooper grabbed it and looked at the crested
"And there a bag of rubber bands and about 5 boxes of paper clips." The rookie looked at his instructor.
"NO Weapon?" The timber wolf said still staring down the tiny dog.
"No sir, no weapon" Stise said softy, Trooper let go of the little dog he was angry that the 10 lb runt made him look stupid in front of his trainee.
    Trooper stick the pizza slicer in his duty belt then turned to his rookie partner.
"I'm going to go check out the vets you stay here and look after." Trooper paused then quickly turned and grabbed the crested from the back seat and pulled him to the front seat and read his dog collar.
"G. Knoll who resides and 2-2 Twain Street, hmm fancy part of town" he put G. Knoll down on the seat and exited the police car. Then Trooper walked to the driver's side door. Stise rolled down the window and looked at his FTO.
"I'm gonna check out the Vet office you keep an eye on our K-9 crazy, understand?" Trooper was sure there would be no danger and began to head over to the Vet's office.
The crested looked at the rookie for a moment then spoke "You seem like a nice guy, I mean your nothing like Dogzilla" Knoll spoke to the rookie softly. Stise smirked at the idea of using Dogzilla as a nickname for Trooper. "Thanks"
"You probably haven't been inserted with your implant yet." Knoll said with a sigh
"Implant?!" Stise said looking more bewildered at the sad look the crested eyes.
"You know the plan to take over the government by enslaving the police and military with implants that make you guys aggressive." Knoll was serious he looked at the rookie and saw the confused look then continued.
"That's why Dogzilla took my implant scanner he probably wants to return it to his masters" Knoll said with a sneer
"You mean Captain Bimbo??" The police officer looked totally confused.
"Poor soon to be mind controlled cop, you just don't know do you?" Knoll looked so sad at the officer.
"Know what?" Mark said thinking he was missing some vital piece of information.
"What you're so called police brothers have in store for you, or at least you're Sergeant!" Knoll looked at the rookie cop as if his was some death row inmate about to take his last walk before they executed him.
"Do you remember how cops use to be looked up to, respected, known for be polite to the public and only mean to those who broke the law?" Knoll asked the rookie.
"Well of course but times have changed and-"The officer began but Knoll cut him off again.
"The days of police officers protecting and serving the public has changed hasn't it officer?" Knoll shouted at the inexperienced rookie
"Well you see-"The cop stammered
"Your so called motto, to serve and protect has been replaced with To enslave and Defend your ALIEN LIZARD MASTERS!!" Knoll said waving his paws in front of the cops face. Stise was wide eyed.
"First, once they decide to include you into their ranks they suddenly become nice to you. Then when you think you part of the so called thin blue line that when they make their move!" Knoll recounted his story Stise's eyes where as big as dinner plates.
"Your so called brothers grab you by each arm and drag you kicking and screaming to-----THE ROOM!! They strap you down face down, and then I can see Dogzilla staring up the DRILL!!!" Knoll stared right into the cop's eyes Stise pulled away looking scared "DRILL?!" the rookie cop had a lump in his throat the size of a brick.
"Yes drill, how else are you going to have the implant inserted into your brain? I can see it now the needle bores into skull you're screaming for your life but nobody can hear you. Then the microchip is inserted 2 inches into your brain, that when they microchip begin its reprogramming. Who know how long it takes, maybe minutes or perhaps HOURS!!" Knoll said to the police officer who was now sunk his head into his shoulders.
"Then when the deed is done you just like that aggressive and totally obedient to your alien lizard masters from the other dimension." Knoll waved his arms in the air!!
"Wait a minute Alien Lizard masters come on!" The cop said not believing the whole alien thing.
"You want proof fine look at the vet sign" Knoll said with confidence.
"Ali En Vet and grooming shop" Stise said reading the sign
"Ali En ----Alien!!!" Knoll looked at him then continued
"You do know what vet stand for don't you?" The Chinese crested ask
"Um—No?" The officer responded
V-E-T spells vet but what you don't know it that V-E-T stands for Villainous Extra Terrestrials!!" Knoll waved his hands in front of the cop.
"But Trooper would never do that to me" Stise said trying to defend his mentor
"But he took my implant scanner didn't he?, now there only one other way to see his he's has an implant."Knoll said calmly looking down
"TELL ME!!" Stise had to know
"All cops and soldiers that have the implant have a knob or knot in the back of their heads its small but it's there. It's normally easy to see but people without the implant like you never have such a bump on the back of their heads." Knoll turned around a motorcycle cop rode up and parked his cycle next to the squad car.
   "Hey bro" Stise said getting out of the squad car. The young blonde haired motor cop took off his helmet and placed it on the handlebars of his motorcycle and walked over and greeted Stise
"What's up" The motor gave Stise a hard slap on the arm.
"Nothing Trooper, in back checking on the building" Stise motioned with his hands.
"How come you're not backing him up?" The motor cop glared at Stise
"Um, my FTO told me to keep an eye on the suspect" The rookie was hoping not to get yelled at again. The motorcycle cop looked inside the squad car, there was G. Knoll backing up to the edge of the seat. Stise glanced at the motorcycle cop and noticed a small bump in the back of the officer's head. The rookie officer's eyes widened and he mouthed the word knot to G. Knoll, but the crested was too busy looking at Trooper as he was walking back from the vet's office.
"Paul Sands how are you buddy?" Trooper said to the motor cop.
"The infamous Trooper Timberwolf" The motor Cop walked over to give his K-9 friend a hug.
    G. Knoll took this opportunity to talk with Officer Stise but forgot that the window was still up when he tried to poke his head out but the window stopped his advance. He quickly rolled down the window but before he could stick his head out, Officer Stise stuck his head in.
"He's got a knot in the back of his head!!" The rookie said in a panic
"I told you!! Now we got to find out if Dogzilla has the same thing!!" Knoll whispered back
"No way Trooper hates to be petted" Stise remember that was the first rule he ever learned. You never ever pet Trooper.
"I wonder why?" Knoll sneered then looked at rookie and continued. "Why your whole department could be mind controlled enforcer drones to the Evil Alien Lizards from the other Dimension "G. Knoll waved his hands at the rookie.
"What'll we do?" the rookie asked
"You will have to find out if Dogzilla been implanted or not!!" G. Knoll whispered
"NO WAY!!" Then the cop whispered " I'm not getting my hand chewed off" Stise snapped
"Gee selfish much?" Knoll looked annoyed "The fate of our entire way of life is at stake and your just thinking about yourself!! You don't deserve to wear that badge." G. Knoll turned his head away from the officer.
"But what will happen if we get caught?" The cop asked.
"Then they'll use the cranial vacuum on us!" Knoll looked down he was almost too scared to even look up.
"What's the cranial vacuum?" The cop asked
"It a device, so horrible I can barley describe it" Then knoll paused and flew into detail.
"It's basically a vacuum that they attach to the back out your skull and the suction is so strong it sucks out your brains and your eyeballs that they feed to ---THE ALIEN LIZARDS FROM THE OTHER DEMEMSION!! Think Matrix" Knoll said calmly to the now panicked rookie cop.
     "What are you doing there rook?" Trooper asked standing directly behind his trainee. The rookie cop whirled around but not before smashing his head against the door frame.
"Nothing sir" Stise answered nervously back and when right into the position of parade rest.
"Stand at ease patrolmen" Trooper said with a smile then looked at the Chinese crested.
"Is our guest giving you any problems" Trooper sneered looking at the small dog
"Not at all sir" The rookie stood between himself and Trooper
"Good, I've got plans for you" Trooper said with a smile.
"Oh boy, you're getting an implant!!" Knoll said to the cop softly, as Stise tried to keep Trooper from getting suspicious.
"It's gonna blow your mind" Trooper said happily.
"Or he heard us talking and your about to get your brains and eyes balls sucked out. Either way you're getting an Innie or an outie!!" Knoll remarked at Officer Stise who pushed him away with his hand.
"Did everything check out at the Alien Abuct---- I mean the vet's office boss?" The Rookie hoped he didn't just blow it.
"Yeah no sign of forced entry and the building secure,  I'm thinking were gonna have to take fluffy here back to his owner." Trooper said heading for the passenger side door.
"Wow you were thinking!! Now I know you had your brain implant!" Knoll sneered then Stise quickly placed his hand over his mouth and glared at the small dog. Trooper just turned and looked as both Knoll and his trainee but said nothing and simply smiled at him.
