SMG4 in Schmicago [A Marware and SMG34 Fic]

Bells and Whistles

"He WHAT?!" SMG4 snapped, looking at Bobby in disbelief. He, Mario, and Mr. Puzzles were called into her office to discuss recent events and details regarding SMG3's trial that was going to be held the next day. Blue was also there, but they invited themself and SMG4 and Mr. Puzzles had to suffer through that. They just mainly stayed on Mario's lap with the lawyer practically ignoring their existence.

The woman shrugged, looking away. "He and his cellmate broke out of jail," she said. "Clearly they had help?"

SMG4 glared at her, already knowing what she was implying about the whole situation. "He didn't do that on purpose."

Bobby shrugged, turning away. "Well, I heard you talking about how his cellmate was his ex-"

"I'm going to stop you right there!" 4 stormed towards her. "I know what you're implying about my boyfriend, and I can assure you that he is neither guilty of murder nor cheating on me and running away with fucking Danny of all people!"

"Wasn't his cellmate's name Topher?" Bobby asked, tilting her head to the side and raising her eyebrow.

"I hope you die," 4 mumbled, turning away.

"Great thing to say to the woman who helps others decide whether or not your unfaithful boyfriend dies," she said.

"Bobby," Mr. Puzzles said, standing from the couch which he and Mario had been seated on. "As much as I hate to say this, it's highly unlikely that SMG3 did any of that willingly." He looked down at SMG4, who had now turned his glare towards him. "He's surprisingly loyal to SMG4. He would never do something like that. You must understand..."

Mario nodded. "Mario has known SMG3 for many years, and he would never do such a thing!"

Bobby looked between them all and scoffed, turning away. "Sorry, but my time is money, and this seems to be wasting mine-"

"Ms. Flannigan?" the secretary asked, peeking her head into the office.

"Yes?" she asked, turning towards her.

"You... you just got paid $850 to work the SMG3 case," she said quietly, looking towards the other three. "I... um... wanted to let you know that..."

Bobby stared at her, slack jawed, as did the others in the room.

"850 dollars...?" SMG4 asked quietly.

"Well then!" Bobby exclaimed, smiling. "I'll put together what I can! If you can find your missing boyfriend, I'll defend him in court tomorrow. But get him back here tomorrow."

She turned and started pushing them out of the room. "Now, go and find him! Ta-ta!" She slammed the door in their faces, leaving them speechless as they stood there staring at it.

"Who... who did that...?" SMG4 asked quietly. "I... that's a lot of money here. Like... that's almost 1,400 dollars in modern time..."

Blue looked amongst them before locking eyes with Mr. Puzzles, staring at him curiously as he turned away.

"Well, we need to look for where SMG3 could've been taken to," Mr. Puzzles huffed, crossing his arms as he walked away. "I have a show tonight that I need to get ready for, so I can't offer much help. But let me know when you find him! The sooner you do, the sooner we can focus on getting out of his hellhole!"

Mario and SMG4 watched Puzzles walk away,

Blue squinted at him in curiosity before jumping from Mario's arms and following behind the adware. They looked around before turning back to their regular form.

"So," they said, standing beside him as he walked, "what was that all about?"

"Pardon?" Mr. Puzzles' voice was laced with annoyance as he glanced down at the human-rabbit-looking hybrid.
