Detective Dave (Part 2)
Detective Dave pulled up outside the mansion belonging to Big Billy Johnson. He jumped over the wall, managing to evade the security cameras. As he approached the front door, it opened, and Big Billy Johnson came out with the chocolate biscuits in his hand.
Detective Dave had caught him red handed.
“Freeze Big Billy,” ordered Detective Dave. “Slowly, put the biscuits down and put your hands on your head!”
Big Billy Johnson chuckled. “Detective, if you don’t get off my property I’m going to come down on you like a ton of bricks.”
“You’re on thin ice Big Billy, don’t test me.” responded Detective Dave.
But Big Billy had one last trick up his sleeve. Out of the blue, a pack of savage dogs appeared, charging towards Detective Dave who had no choice but to run for his life.
Big Billy laughed as Detective Dave jumped back over the wall. The once famous Detective was forced to return home with his tail between his legs. Evil had won.
