A killer Ducky?
The next morning at work, Grrr pulled Tom aside at in the detective room and said " A duckbill, have you ever heard of a duckbill doing anything? Ok, he might grab a few leaves or, if he is a master duckbill criminal, run off with a apple from a fruit stand if no-one was looking, but a violent duckbill???
That makes as much sense as ice skating in the volcano!"
"Look, Grrr', said Tom Triceratops, I know that you are a very good cop, your arrest record is clean and second to none, and that you cracked a lot of hard cases, even if you wanna be some weirdo actor." Said Tom with a smile.
But the chief has said that the case is closed, he has his confession, he is happy with it. All the evidence fits. The DA is happy with it. There is an election coming up both the chief and the DA wanna get reelected. Unless you have starling evidence, you are going to get no-where with this.
The chief is a honest reptile, so is the DA, they are good dinos. But they also want to be reelected.
Just to say that you never heard of it happening before is not going to get it.
Remember the time Billy Bronto, a grass eater like me, was caught eating those dino chops? When has a bronto EVER eaten meat before? But he was doing it.
Remember when that saber tooth was hanging out with that pack of dire wolves?
When has a cat ever run with wolves? But he was doing it.
Strange things do happen." said Tom. "That is just the world we live in."
"Yeah', I know Tom, but a killer ducky? It just does not feel right". said Grrr.
Well, it's our case, the chief can close it but we gotta sign off on it.
I already did, but if you want to talk to the Ducky, nobody can say you can't. I will tell the chief that you... uh...have some things to finish before you sign off, but I'll tell ya, Grrr, its going to be a tight election for him and the DA,and they like their jobs, so unless you are sure, I would not push this.
It is not going to get you anywhere."
"Thanks, Tom." I will be careful."
"You be that way kid, you be that way." replied Tom.
