BUD ARRESTS HANDO

By Jo

You want the true story, copper?

Think you can manage that, punk?

If you can handle the truth, yeah.

Try me.

I never touched the damn pipe. Never even saw the f....king thing.

Sure. Then where'd all the water come from?

I had nothing to do with the water. Was no where near the water that day.

What about all the dead guys?

Never saw a dead guy, either. Not one.

I suppose you weren't there when the honey splattered on the mayor?

Had nothing to do with that. Don't even like honey.

Then how do you explain the collection of Pooh bears we found under your bed?

You...found my Poohs?

I could put you away for 18 years, punk. 

Yeah, copper? On what charge?

Illegal tattooing of stuffed bears.  Just for starters.

They were tattooed before I got 'em. I didn't do it.

Next you'll be saying they were already bald.

The fur got all loved off.  Nobody shaved them.

Loved off? YOU loved the fur off the Poohs?

You won't let anybody know, will you? The guys...they....

Depends, punk. You want to confess about the pipes?

You...you'd keep it quiet...about the Pooh fur?

Yeah, punk. No one'll ever know about the fur.

Maybe I was near the water, after all.

And the dead guys on the stairs?

Them, too.

It figures.

You won't mention the Pooh fur?

You'll sign a full confession? Pipes, water, dead guys?

I'll sign. Damn you, I'll sign!!

What about the honey? Will you sign about the honey pot?

Not the honey pot. Could leak out about the Pooh bears if I sign about the honey pot.

I could get you out of the city. Get you transferred to some place safe.

Wouldn't work. Once word got out about the honey pot, the Pooh fur would

be bound to leak, too. After that, no place would be safe. No place.

Damn you, you're right. They'd track you down no matter where we sent you.

Looks like you got yourself a bit of a problem, copper.

Maybe not.
