The two finally arrived at the mall, and as they headed to the diner to confront Clayton the two discussed their plan.
"So, what do we do when we confront Clayton?'" Darwin asked as Anais double-checked her notes.
She stopped in her tracks and looked up at him. "Good point, we need a plan of action. We need to be prepared." She closed her diary and put it back into her back.
"So, any ideas?" He asked her.
"Hmmm..." She went and sat down on a bunch, Darwin following her.
"Disguising ourselves? Nah that wouldn't help?"
"Maybe we could have a normal conversation with him and try to subtly get him to confess," Darwin suggested.
"Mmm, maybe. Could take a while though. We need something a bit quicker. Something more..intimidating."
"Intimidating? You want to scare him into confessing?"
"Not necessarily, just...shake him up a little, loosen him up a little."
"So...scaring him into confessing?" Darwin reiterated.
"No, I don't want to scare him! Just...well...okay fine, maybe I want to scare him a little bit but how..."
"Oh, I know! We knock him out, kidnap him, tie him to a chair in a dark room, and-"
"Jeez Darwin, I said I want to scare him a little bit, not permanently traumatize him!"
"Oh, too much?"
"Yeah." She replied sarcastically. "and you're supposed to be the nicer one of us three..."
She suddenly gasped. "That's it!"
"Huh? What do you mean? What's it?"
"We put on a bit of a show for Clayton. Good Cop, Bad Cop."
"Ooh, I wanna be the bad cop!" Darwin demanded excitedly.
"Really? You wanna be the bad cop? Doesn't seem very like you.."
"Aww come on, can I? Please, please, please!"
She couldn't help but smile. "Alright, alright, you can be the bad cop."
"Yes!" He fist-pumped the air.
"Right, we've got our plan. Now let's catch our perp..."
He nodded, cracking his knuckles as his expression changed to that of a blank stare, and the two marched over to the diner.
Sure enough, there was Clayton at a table, eating his meal.
He noticed them approaching and waved. "Oh hey, guys! You should've been here a few minutes ago, you missed the craziest fight! This lion came in and-"
"I don't care about your lies Clayton. You know why we're here." She placed her paws on her hips, as Darwin stood behind her, arms crossed as he glared intimidatingly at Clayton.
"Do I?" He asked confused.
"Yes, you know exactly why! Now, are you going to confess or do we need to do this the hard way?" She nodded her head over to Darwin.
Darwin cracked his knuckles, "Do I need to use these?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Seriously guys, I-I-I don't know what you're on about!"
