Night Shift

Volume 1, Episode 4

Thursday, October 28, 1999.  IAD interviews the entire SOB team on the Kelvinator incident, except for Detective-Sergeant Fisher who called in sick.  Officer Sparkypants incriminate himself as far as admitting breaking and entry into the Kelvinator's apartment building, though not in the apartment itself, and waves his right to counseling from his union representative.

Lonny "Samurai Engineer" Ma, the witness who saw three League of Evil members at Stan Hausman's apartment, comes in and makes tentative IDs on a few mug shots.  Officers Knight and Sparkypants are sent to round them up.  After the first one, a Saurian called Komodo, resists arrest and is damaged in the process, they are quicker to call for backup from Lt. Therius when they find three more suspects.

After some forceful convincing, the suspects – an energy blaster with the A.E. "Zapper" and two ferro-Americans, Big Wheels and Steely Dan – are taken back to the station and interviewed separately.  Initial interviews yield little, but a second round after positive IDs in line-ups are more fruitful. 

The picture emerging is that Stan Hausman had pissed off many people by failing to deliver batches of drugs, delivering substandard product, moonlighting, or holding back on profits.  The League of Evil and the Fabulous Fivers finally agreed on one thing: he was giving a bad example to too many small operators.  Komodo, Zapper, and Big Wheels were sent to retrieve the undelivered last batch and, failing to find it, interrogated Hausman into the next world.  Squeezing the suspects yielded two names as responsible for the decision: the Kelvinator for the League, and Bazooka for the Fivers.
