Someone Leaves Town

Well, that sure didn't go as planned.

The drive home was an aggravating one, and Armageddon managed to get herself lost twice in Buttfuk's winding, oft-blocked streets. When she finally made it back to the suburbs it was near dark. The streets this side of town were pretty, lined with trees, and only two of the children sported visible tattoos. A police car crawled sedately along the far side of the street, the two cops inside looking bored out of their minds. The place almost looks normal, Armageddon thought. Compared to the rest of this town at least. Surely not everyone here can be horrible? I mean, take Todd. Todd's a good man, and...

And what? Some other part of her shot back. Who else is 'good' in that whole wretched family, other than Cherry? Your standards are slipping, Miss Hyde. In a den of wickedness like this, the ordinary sinner may start to look virtuous. Don't be fooled...

As she made the turn into Todd's street, the police siren hooted once and its lights flashed on. The car turned into the street behind her - not fast, but not dawdling either. See? Armageddon told herself. Even here, in this 'nice' little neighbourhood, someone's up to no good.

She sighed and shook her head, then pulled up curbside next to Todd's house. A shrill, female voice pierced the quiet of the evening: "DON'T YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY HUSBAND! YOU - YOU HOMEWRECKER!!!"

"I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!!!" the other voice yelled back. "AND IF YOU COULD PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN COSMETICS CASE AND LISTEN FOR A SECOND - "

Armageddon sighed as she got out of the truck. There was no sign of Hellfire's truck, but the shouting set her nerves a-jangle anyway. It had been a long day.

As she stepped out of her truck and locked the door, the police car came to an abrupt halt behind her. "Step away from the vehicle, ma'am," a voice said.

Armageddon turned to look, and saw with complete surprise that the police officer was speaking to her. "Oh, it's all right, officer," she said. "The truck is mine; I have papers. Here, let me - "

"We're not here about the truck, ma'am. We're here about you. Now step away from the vehicle and keep your hands where I can see 'em."

The cop was watching her nervously, his hand hovering close to his gun. The second cop, still inside the car, spoke briefly into the radio and then came out to join his companion. Where the first cop looked tense and edgy, this fellow wore a cool smile. "You know why we stopped you?" he asked.

"I'm sure I haven't the faintest idea," Armageddon sniffed. Her initial disquiet was dissolving into indignation. She was an excellent driver, and she always kept her truck in tip-top condition. Why had they stopped her?

"You got any contraband in the truck?" the cop asked. "Explosives, stolen goods, Spacehammer 3000 figurines?"

"Space what..?" Armageddon spluttered. "No... I don't even know what - "

"All right - let's see those papers.
