Electrive Detective

Electrive Detective 1 - Chapter 7 - Hunter becomes the hunted

The next day, both robots were clean and ready to do their job. They entered the room where Oilman was held captive. A technician was with them along with the results of his sanity test.

"And?" Elec asked.

"He appears to be confused and lost. He's got a few questions wrong and refuses to tell us who he belongs to." Said the technician.

The detective approached him; Glaring at the downed machine who was now robbed of his substance, all tied up in metal chains.

"Why did you attack me?" he asked, very serious about the situation.

"I'm sick of all you people and robots!" He replied.

"I doubt that."

"Oh yeah!? Once I get out of here, I'll paint this entire barn full of idiots with blood!"

"That is against the rules. And you wouldn't want to be disabled, now would you?"

"I'll disable you first."

"Who sent you?"

"The mailman! Ya happy!?"

A few moments passed when Elec decided to turn back and leave the room.

"Hey, are you giving up already?" Said Crashman.

"Never. But this is no use. Leave him here and find his owner." He commanded.

"yes sir."

The two robots were on their way to the office. Elecman only focused on moving forward and getting this done.

"I know that questioning a robot won't help much but where are we going now?"

"Making sure mister Quick on the draw will trip and fall flat on his face when I stop his sting opperation."

"But you can't do that! What if you waltz right into the part where one of the human detectives tries to gain the trust of the suspect and blow his cover because you had second thoughts?"

"For the last time, this case will be closed."

"And what if it's a trap? I can't survive another oil slick on my eyes! And your electricity still isn't working!"

"Let's go."

Minutes later, they arrived at the scene. A few police cars had already surrounded the area, which was a garage. They stepped out of the car and aimed for the front door.

"Here goes everything." Elec said and entered.

"Alright, everybody st-"But he sentence was stopped when he spotted Quickman, along with Paul, Peter, a few cops and another man he held against the wall.

"Hello gentlemen." He said, as if nothing serious was going on.

"I don't remember calling you to watch the show."

"What's going on here?" Elec asked.

"I solved your case. Not saying you couldn't, but let me explain: The four vehicles of mister Armando were bought a few weeks back. Paul explained to me that his cars kept getting damaged due to his bad driving behaviour. This led to him buying new ones almost all the time since he wasn't very pleased by how they got fixed by this man over here."

"The name's Eric." Siad the culprit.

"Soon Eric was fed up by his ungreatfull attitude and wanted to get even by manipulating Paul. He did that by threatening him, making other people believe he was deliberatley wrecking the cars Armando owned in order to get more money. He told him to get a robot so he could be able to take away his power and get revenge; Even if it means taking a life."
