Night Shift

Volume 1, Episode 3

Tuesday, October 26, 1999.  As they were heading home after their shift, the SOB team had to respond to a traffic accident in the morning commute. A schoolbus driver, Julio Hernandez, had apparently accidentally overdosed on Hallowe'en candy tainted with illegal drugs.

An IAD team from Grand Central showed up, investigating Commissioner Ultima's death. Captain Traynor introduced the two teams and informed the SOB that he had promised their full cooperation. The leader of the IAD team, Captain Minerva, clearly indicated that she tought there was a cover-up in progress.

Detective-Sergeant Fisher made contact with Shirley Feldstein, the assault victim from the previous night; she was still in bad shape and had her sister Betty staying with her. She promised to come to the station to try to identify the perpetrators as soon as she was well enough.

Officers Sparkypants and Knight were assigned to keep discreet surveillance on The Kelvinator. After a few hours of boredom while the suspect hung out at The Lube Palace, then went home to play videogames and watch television, Officer Sparkypants decided to investigate the premises without a warrant. He was caught in flagrante delicto by The Kelvinator, and reacted by attacking, then running. The Kelvinator went to the precinct house to file charges, to Lt. Therius's horrrified exasperation. IAD jumped on the case.

Wednesday, October 27, 1999.  The SOB team track the tainted Hallowe'en candy to a manufacturing plant in Lanchester, R.J. Camel Candy Co., then to an employee that stopped showing up five days ago, Stan Hausman. Hausman has had some drug convictions, but had gotten off light and his lawyers were Metavac, Fischmann & Goebbels. Upon checking his apartment, the team found Hausman murdered; they also discovered that he had held another job, at a convenience store where Hernandez had purchased candy. Canvassing produced a description of three suspects wearing League of Evil jackets, one Saurian, one ferro-American and one caucasian. The R.J. Camel candy production was recalled. IAD's Captain Minerva was unhappy that Lt. Therius had not called her before the Hausman search.
