The Half Toon Detective and the Animated Heartthrob

It's a Frame Job

Hedy rushed from her room to the front room and was met with a P.Oed Uncle and a nervous wanted toon . 

"How the hell did he get in here Hedy?" Eddie asked his niece  in an angry tone 

"Through the mail slot Uncle Eddie " Hedy replied as she stood between Eddie and Roger 

"Yeah ,  I thought it would be best if I waited inside, seeing how I'm wanted for murder" Roger said in panicked tone. 

"No kidding! Just talking to you could get us a rap for aiding and abetting. Wait a minute. Anybody know you're here?" Eddie asked in a annoyed tone. 

" Nobody. Not a soul. Except er..." Roger said in a nervous tone as he leaped off the bed 

"Who Roger" Hedy asked in a worried tone as she looked at Roger nervously

" Well you see, I didn't know where you're address was. So I asked the newsboy. He didn't know. So I asked the fireman, the greengrocer, the butcher, the baker. They didn't know! But the liquor store guy. He knew " Roger replied as he counted the people he asked on his fingers. 

"Of course Sal would know where we live uncle Eddie is his best customer, this is not good those no good Weasel goons  of that Creep Judge Doom are going to come here looking for Roger"  Hedy thought in  panic. 

Hedy watched her  Uncle  try  to throw Roger out of their office by using his spenders as a sling shot while the Poor Rabbit was pleading for Eddie to not throw him out . 

"Hey! Hey Eddie, take it easy will ya. Please Eddie, don't throw me out. You're making a big mistake. I didn't kill anybody. I swear. This whole thing's a set up. A scam. A frame job! Ow! Eddie. I could never hurt anybody,  Ow! My whole purpose in life is to maaake, peeeeopllllle, llllllllllllllaugh!" Roger said as he grip on the door gave out. 

Which caused both of them to fall backwards Eddie on the floor and Roger on the bed

" O.K. O.K. sure, I admit it. I got a little steamed when you showed me those pictures of Jess . So I ran down to the Ink..." Roger started to say before Eddie dived at him in a attempt to catch him  . 

Which sent Roger  up in the air and Eddie in a heap on the opposite side of the Bed 

"...and Paint Club. But he wasn't in his dressing room so I wrote him  a Fatherly letter of affection ." Roger said finishing his sentence as he fished out the letter out of his pocket.

"That's so sweet" Hedy gushed as cartoon  hearts swirled around her head

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! You're telling me, that in a fit of Paternal Rage you wrote you're Son  a fatherly letter of affection?" Eddie asked in a curious tone. 

" That's right! I know he was just an innocent victim of circumstance, and I found a pen and nice clean piece of paper in his dressing room" Roger said with a smile. 

" 'Dear Jess . How are you the best son in the world  Let me count the ways. One one thousand! Two one thousand! Three one thousand! Four one thous...". Roger said as he read the letter while jumping on the bed . 

"That's a beautiful letter Roger but, Why didn't you just leave the letter there?" Hedy asked in a curious tone. 

"Obviously a letter of this power and sensitivity must..." Roger started saying before Eddie grabbed his ears and off the bed which made the rabbit scream in pain.

"UNCLE EDDIE DON'T GRAB HIS EARS" Hedy yelled in an enraged tone as she stared literal daggers at her uncle . 

She then took a deep breath to calm herself down 

"Finish what you were saying Roger" Hedy said as she smiled at him 

"Okay , it must be read in person so I went home to wait for him ,  but the weasels were there waiting for me! So.... So I ran." Roger said in a panicked tone. 

"So why come to me? I'm the guy that took the pictures of your Son" Eddie said as he sat down at his desk . 

While Roger flipped through the book  filled with  the newspaper clippings of Eddie and Teddy's past cases. 

"Yeah! And you're also the guy that helped all these toons. Everybody knows when a toon's in trouble, there's only one place to go. Valiant and Valiant." Roger said in a Happy tone. 

Hedy sighed sadly and bent down to Rogers level and put a hand on his shoulder 

"Sadly not anymore Roger , we stopped taking Toon cases after my fathers death" Hedy said with sad smile . 

Roger frowned and hugged Hedy which she returned 

"That's it , I'm calling the cops" Eddie said in a exasperated tone as he picked up the phone to dial the Toon Patrol. 

"Go ahead! Call the cops! I come here for help and what do you do? You turn me in. No don't. Don't feel guilty about me" Roger said sounding defeated.

"Roger wait I believe that you're innocent and I for one am not going to see you get dipped by that Wacko Judge Doom"  Hedy said in a serious tone . 

"No Hedy I don't want you to get in trouble with the weasels because of me , you're a Sweet girl please tell Jessica  and Jess that I love them." Roger said in sad tone. 

"I will Roger" Hedy said with streams of tears coming down her eyes 

"Well I better face the music , so long and thanks for nothing Eddie" Roger said as he walked off into the closet instead of the front door  which knocked down some papers. 

"That's the closet " Eddie said as he put the phone down 

"Ha ha ha ha ha, that's one of the oldest jokes in the book" Hedy said as she laughed at  Rogers antics. 

Eddie got up from his  desk and opened the closet which seemed empty at first but, Roger popped out from on of her fathers old jackets. 

"Eddie Valiant you're under arrest" Roger said as he handcuffed Eddie .

"Get out of there" Eddie yelled as he pulled Roger out of the closet 

" Idiot ,I got no keys for this cuffs" Eddie said in an annoyed tone before the Toon Patrol drove up  .
