Briing... Briiing... Briing...

Bob opened his eyes to see his phone ringing on his bedside table. He slowly reached his arm to his phone and picked up the number,

"Hello...?" He said tiredly.

"Bob?" The voice spoke, "Sorry for calling so early, but I'm at the police station because Sumsy found something relating to Spud last night."

The sleepy builder's eyes widened and sat up in bed, "Wait.. What??"

This call went on for about 6 minutes, ending with Bob promising Farmer Pickles to meet him at the police station. Then, Wendy woke up; she was next to Bob the whole time. She asked who he was talking to, which he answered: "Farmer Pickles; he wants me to meet him at the police station. I'll tell you everything when I come back, right now, go to sleep, hun."

He got dressed into his work clothes and dashed out of the house into his van, but just before he could get into his car, he heard one of the trailer doors open.

A tired and cold Scoop stumbled out of the door and asked Bob where he was going. Bob informed him that he was going to the police station to see Farmer Pickles about Spud. When Scoop heard 'Spud', he rubbed his eyes wide open and insisted to take him instead. The builder chuckled and agreed to his generosity. A few short minutes later, Scoop darted over to his backhoe loader and started up the engine.

"Ready Bob?" He asked sweetly. Bob nodded as he hopped in to the front passenger seat and drove off to the police station.

Scoop parked in the parking lot outside the police station, and leaned back in his seat,

"You can go inside without me if that's okay, Bob." He said. The builder nodded his head, got out of the backhoe loader and into the police station. In the building, farmer Pickles was against a wall waiting for Bob. When he turned his head towards him, farmer Pickles said,

"Ah, Bob! What took you so long?" The old farmer asked.

Bob chuckled and scratched this back of his head, "Sorry farmer Pickles, Scoop insisted to drive me over here."

The two chuckled for a short time before getting serious again. Farmer Pickles told Bob just about everything that he and Sumsy discovered with the schizophrenia prescription that they found. As they were talking, a pharmacist walked out of a room and towards the two friends. He informed farmer Pickles that it was indeed Spud who had this problem.

"But the strange thing is," the pharmacist began, "It's almost like he got them from a sketchy drug dealer outside of Bobsville, which we think made his schizophrenia worse over time..."

The poor old farmer looked down in shock and anguish. Honestly, no one could really believe that Spud would do this to himself and to others around him. Bob put his hand onto his shoulder to comfort him the best he could. He sorrowfully told Percy that he had to go and do a job with his team, which the farmer understood. He said good-bye to Bob as he left the police station. He reentered Scoop's backhoe loader and told him to drive back to the yard.

Meanwhile at the yard, Wendy was explaining that they have to get more bullet-proof glass for Sunflower Valley. The machine team didn't look too happy to be replacing yet another town's glass windows, but it was what they had to do to keep everyone safe from the now-known killer, Spud. Just then, Bob and Scoop pulled up in the yard, the driver parked and Bob got out.
