52nd Inning (Stage One)

[Filtered phone call to non-drone types]

Awright. I don't care if this gets me droned, or thinkin' I'm a commie all of a sudden or whatever the fuck is happenin' this week.

I just wanna say this: I am a cop, an' I ain't arrestin' anyone for being a goddamn Commie. Unless that Russia guy or whatever still lives in this town, there ain't no Commies. Got it? Now all of ya need ta get off the freakin' phone lines talkin' about people ya murdered or cookies ya stole or whatever the fuck. Jeez.

An' if I do start arrestin' people, ya know it ain't my fault. Mayfield did somethin' ta me. Look guys, I've been here way too long, an' I know how this shit works. Get off the phones, rip the cord outta tha wall, and hide down in yer basement 'r somethin'. Cuz when all the drones are even actin' nervous? Shit's gonna hit the fan for real.

The drones are acting nervous, too?

[He doesn't like the idea of "shit hitting the fan for real", he has not been here long but this is already striking him as pretty bad.]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There ain't many on the street, an' our one drone kid was all worried about me when I was goin' out on patrol last night. Frickin' weird. Talk about a bad sign.

[volcanoes]

What happened last time they got nervous?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I don't remember 'em actin' like this before. Maybe when the hazmats were around. But usually they kinda just stay outta the way.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

The drones are nervous? Oh shit.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah man. It's like they know shit's gettin' bad. When they notice stuff goin' on, ya know there's gonna be a problem.

No, look, I'm done playin' this game. There are no commies here. None.

Last time, the drones acknowledged anything, it was a total disaster. I don't want that to happen again. We need to start organizing now, before anything can happen.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

There like... whattaya call it. Like a heard 'a animals that know when the lions are sneakin' up on 'em or somethin'.

[et-enfin.livejournal.com]

Oh, goodness! Has this happened to the drones before, Monsieur ?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Last time they got like this, there was a commie hunt goin' on that ended up with lotsa dead people and burnt-down houses.

[un-beau-coquin.livejournal.com]

Despite your amazing vocabulary, petit, some'ow you even manage to sound like 'er. Mon dieu.

Any'ow, what do you mean by "all the drones are actin' nervous"?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What's that supposed ta mean?

Ya haven't noticed? They're all whispery and jumpy, an' the drone kid in my house keeps beggin' me ta not go out after dark. an' ta make sure I capture those nasty commies for her. The last time they got like this, lotsa people ended up dead from another communist hunt.

Hopefully there isn't one here!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

There ain't. They got the last one that was on tha loose, an' no one in this town is a commie. No commies, no arrests.

[radiant-will.livejournal.com]

Well, even if shit does hit the fan, I'm glad we can still count on you.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[You can practically hear the grin on the other end of the phone.] That's right, sister! That's what Mayfield gets fer keepin' me around so long. Shit gets done.

[viridian-knight.livejournal.com]

What happens when the drones get nervous?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Last time it was durin' another commie hunt. An' that resulted in a lotta dead people an' a lotta burned-down houses.

[grand-theft-moe.livejournal.com]

The police here are compelled as well?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I know I haven't felt like givin' anyone my so-called secrets yet.
