Candy-coated business part 1

Welcome to CartoonLand, a world where dreams come true as well as shattered, although it all depends on where you come from, however, we will not focus on the most powerful country in this world the crazy states of CartoonLand, specifically in the state of New Land, where it overflows with wealth and power, the place where everyone wants to be, where all your dreams come true or get stolen, despite being the cradle of the country's economy, this is actually a tank full of sharks, where the strongest, the boldest crush and oppress the weak, although the weak also devour the strong, so that's why people like me are in charge of making sure this country doesn't go to hell in five seconds. So welcome to the country where law and chaos coexist in peace.

After a long day at work, Duke returns to his home, which is a penthouse about a mile away from Murphy Tower. He parks his car in the building's subway parking lot next to Kaede's pink and red-striped Nassin Skyfrontier R84 GT-R 3000 (Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R 2000).

-I'm sorry honey, but mommy hasn't arrived. -Said Duke who caresses the vehicle, but inadvertently sounds his alarm which is practically a woman being raped to death and added as he rushes to the elevator. -Because Kaede has that damn alarm on that car.

Duke hits the button to the pent-house house dead embarrassed; the elevator goes up to his destination, he walks down the hallway, takes his key and opens the door. He sees little Minnie with an apocalyptic mess of toys in front of the 80" Smart TV. This does not amuse him so, he goes to the fridge, fills a glass of Antarctic cold water, walks over to her and pours the water in her face.

-Minnie! How many times have I told you not to leave me a mess in the living room, now pick up this mess, now! -Duke exclaimed as she stood up in fright.

-Yes, Daddy. -Minnie shouts as she picks up her mess.

-And don't call me daddy, Minnie," answered Duke as he watched her pick up her mess.

-Yes, Daddy. -Minnie shouted as she continued to pick up.

-As you wish, and go to sleep in your bed, I don't want you to be late for school or I'll punish you. -Duke answered and went to the kitchen to prepare a sandwich of whole wheat bread with nuts and worms.

Shanise comes out of her room in her pajamas, but with her shirt unbuttoned showing her underwear, she sees Duke eating in peace, while she goes with her daughter to help her and take her to her room, so she can go to sleep.

-You know Duke, sometimes I don't understand why you don't marry me, she could consider you as your father as such instead of denying it, don't you think so. -Shanise put herself in a seductive pose to get his attention by showing her underwear.

-Even if you have the body of a goddess, you are a bad mother and wife, do you think I'm going to marry someone who doesn't have my dinner ready, goes to sleep leaving his daughter sleeping on the floor with a mess in the living room, do you really think they are such an asshole to condemn my life so easily, at least Kaede, cleans, sweeps, cooks, mops the floor, dusts, washes, irons and all the household chores I can think of and even bother to wash my car, .... Better from there, it gets damaged! -exclaimed Duke, who misses Kaede.

-You all you want is a maid, you oppressive chauvinist. -Shanise replied that she dislikes that.

-Of course, as if it were that here you do housework every day, besides statistically housewives and even housekeepers are happier than someone who has to go out on the street every damn day, to break his ass to work, besides you do not care about your daughter, I practically threw myself on the raising of your daughter, if you want me to be her father so much, then let Kaede and I adopt her and end of the discussion," replied Duke who quickly eats his sandwich and then washed his plate.

-I will never give you Minnie," Shanise exclaimed.

-As you wish, Kaede is a doppelganger or shape shifter, she can become my species and I can have any children I want with her. -Duke answered.

-And why don't you do it. -Shanise shouted.

-Until I find the reason or the person who turned my father to insanity and indirectly my mother's suicide, I will not have a family, it is already a risk to have you, I don't want to take any more risks. -Duke answered.

-If you say so, but nothing. How did it go, have you solved the case? -Shanise asked as they went to Duke's room while he changed his clothes.

-No, it's more complex than I thought, but Cole is going to help us to speed this up, there is a lot of work since Kaede is on vacation so I have to finish this once and for all. -Duke answered as he put on his pajamas.

-The only thing that matters to me is the money, so tomorrow I'm going to go change the money from the gulabons, right. -Shanise answered.

-Yes, but my sentinel bullet will keep an eye on you so you don't screw up, so good night. -Duke answered and went to bed all of a sudden.

-You want a quickie at night, since Kaede is not here. -Shanise answered.

-Because no, since Kaede left, I haven't had any night action. -Duke answered while Shanise took off her clothes and he also took off his clothes to have sex, they kept the act for an hour until they fell asleep.

AA four o'clock in the morning, the phone rings a hardcore punk at full power. In addition to the ringing to the rhythm of it.

-Hell, damn, but how Cole has so much energy to fuck around at four in the morning. -Shanise exclaimed, not wanting to wake up.

-Let's get to work, and you get up, you have to change that money. -I don't understand how you guys have the energy to get up," exclaimed Duke, who got up suddenly and started to take off his clothes.

-I don't understand how you guys have the energy to work, you could lower your productivity a little bit, besides we had something intimate, at least we can't spend some more time together in bed, like you do with Kaede," Shanise answered, who for some reason is worried and wants to spend more time with him.

-I'm sorry, but today is not the day, today is the day to seek the truth at all costs. -I'm sorry, but today is not the day, today is the day to look for the truth at all costs.

-You're a BARBAROUS FUCKING BASTARD! Let me go, I can bathe myself! -Shanise exclaimed angrily while he took off her pajamas and underwear, and then entered the shower and bathed her by force.

-If I let you bathe on your own, we're going out at seven o'clock and Cole doesn't like to wait. -Duke answered as he bathed her and bathed himself at the same time.

As they bathe, Minnie opens the door for Cole.

-Oh, but look who we have here, if it isn't the beautiful Minnie Chariot, how is that cute and playful bunny? -asked Cole who stroked Minnie's head.

-How are you, Uncle Cole, come on in, my mommy and daddy are changing. -I'm fine, I'm fine, but I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, but I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

-I, I'm fine, although I'm not your uncle, but I like you to see me as one of my family. -Cole answered and sits down on the couch, looks at the time and it's ten past four and added. -My God, but they are late.

-You know, man, I missed you so much, I want to play interesting things with you. -Minnie answered, sitting on Cole's crotch, which threw him off.

-Hey, Minnie, didn't Duke tell you that pretty girls don't sit on boys' legs, especially if they are men, especially if they are wearing skirts? -Cole answered, taking it off delicately and putting it on the end of the sofa.

-ohhh, yes you are right, but you are different. -Answered Minnie in a sinister way.

In the meantime, Duke and Shanise are changed, he makes her up so she won't last an eternity doing her.

-You look divine, darling. -Duke replied in a slightly effeminate voice.

-I must admit, you would make a good makeup artist, I can't believe your father taught you how to do makeup. -Shanise answered while Duke was doing her makeup.

-Yes, he taught me so that when I had a female sleeping or living in my house, I would have to make her up so that she wouldn't take forever wearing makeup. -Duke replied in a normal tone.

-You and your father are bastards. -Shanise replied, taking offense at that.

-Unfortunately, Shanise, that's generations old. Duke replied, almost finishing her make-up.

-You Mcduckwell are a serious case. -Shanise replied in disgust. They take their things, Duke takes the briefcase where the Gulabons' money is and Shanise her wallet. They leave the room. Shanise screams and witnesses something horrible.

-You fucking bastard, what are you doing to my daughter! -Shanise screams and sees something horrible.

-I knew it! I knew you were one of them, say your last words teddy bear fart! -Duke exclaimed, threatening him with his revolver.

-No, I can explain! -Shouted Cole who had "poor Minnie" in a BDSM position, specifically as a human vase with an ahegao face.

-There is no explanation, I'm going to send you to rot in a cell where you will be raped and killed until there is nothing left of you. -Shanise shouted and grabbed her cell phone to denounce him.

-You can do the Juche bong and put all the CP you want on me! if you think I'm one of them. -Cole exclaimed, determined to prove his innocence.

-Okay, I believe you; it takes guts to say that. -Duke answered, lowering his gun.

-How can you believe this farting bear? -Shanise answered indignantly.

-Because someone who is not afraid of the Juche bong is innocent, the North Koreans know that and they don't forgive that kind of thing. -Duke replied.

-All right, if you say so. Let's go, who are we going to leave Minnie to. -Shanise answered and asked.

-You can drop me off at Byron's place. -Minnie proposed as Cole let her go.

-Oh, yes, Byron Jackhammer," Shanise answered.

-Jackhammer!" exclaimed Cole and Duke.

-Yes, Duke, don't you remember, Minnie's best friend, her mother and I talk on the phone a lot when she can. -Shanise replied.

-You can another one, but it works for us. In which vehicle we leave in yours, Shanise or mine. -Duke proposed.

-In yours, obviously, Duke, I won't allow you to use it for chases. -Shanise answered.

-Someday, you have to let me drive it. -Duke replied.

-Buy one if you want Duke, but my baby, you're not going to take it on a chase, I don't care if you fix it, no, that's final. -Shanise answered, standing firm.

-All right, if you say so, let's go to my car. -Duke answered reluctantly.

Shanise changes Minnie, takes the backpack and her lunch box. They both go to Duke's vehicle.

-Before we go, don't forget anything. -Duke checks himself, verifies that Shanise has the Gulabons' money bag, Minnie's backpack and lunch box, Shanise's wallet and adds. -Cole, you are.

-Yes, I have my backpack and skateboard shrink-wrapped in the holster in my pockets, you can roll Duke. -Cole replied, so Duke started the vehicle to leave the parking lot and go cruising the streets.

-What do we do first, Duke. -Cole answered, looking out the window.

-According to the GPS, I'm going to leave Shanise at the exchange agency first, then I'll leave Minnie at her best friend's house, pass me the coordinates to know where she lives. -Duke answered, while Shanise sent it to him through the Talk Chat application. From the GPS, he goes to the Talk chat app, to take the coordinates she sent him and put the location and added. -Ready.

After a few traffic lights and minor roadblocks, they make it to their destination. The universal exchange agency, a huge building, where land vehicles, air vehicles, spaceships, go there to make their currency exchanges.

-Well, Shanise, we are here, secure that money with your life and your stay in my house depends on that money. -Duke answered as she got out of the car with her wallet and the suitcase with the gems.

-Yes, my commander. -Shanise exclaims as she walks to the entrance and whispers. - chauvinist oppressor of shit.

Duke continues on his way to Jackhammer's house on the other side of town. On the way, they chat.

-Minnie, honey, use the Tablet to enable the internet, put on your headphones and turn them up to maximum volume and don't take them off. -Duke exclaimed, wanting to talk to Cole in private.

-You're going to talk bad about mom again. -Minnie answered, feeling embarrassed.

-Yes, among other things, because you tell him, if your mother does the same thing. -Duke replied.

-Yes, but aren't you supposed to be a Christian and Christians don't talk? -Answered Minnie while she activated the anti-noise barrier that was triggered by Cole.

Cole, what the fuck! That won't help his self-esteem! -exclaimed Duke in surprise.

What self-esteem, Duke, why are you such a hypocrite. You sleep with her whore of a mother, you cheated on Kaede, you also have to take care of a girl that is not yours. You know Duke, you should know that there are people who deserve everything that happens because of how shitty they are as a person. It's poetic justice. Fuck that concept of Christian mercy and let people rot. For that sort of thing, I'm a punk who defecates on the right and the left. -Cole replied jaded Duke.

-You're right, but we have to be humane to a certain extent, that's something I envy the Latin American countries, despite all the problems they have. My father has seen all the shit in this city and lived in it, but there is still hope..." Duke replied.

-I'm sorry, Duke, but your words are garbage to me, because Matthew 7:5-6: Hypocrite! take the log out of your own eye first, and then you will see well to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot, and turn and tear you in pieces. An avenger who wants to avenge his mother's life, cannot be told by a punk what not to do and what not to do. -Cole answered.

-Since you've been with Martin and dating Becky, you've become very responsive, mate. Especially when I saved your ass from Shanise putting you on trial for child molestation. -Duke replied.

-I would have won the trial, since I activated my spy cam, that's why I hate women and children. -Cole replied.

-However, you have a girlfriend, if you hate women and children so much, why don't you go to the other side? -Duke replied.

-Becky, to you she may be weird, unbearable and whatever, but she's, my wife. -Cole replied.

-Yeah, you're right...oh here we are, how time flies. -Duke replied as they arrived in the suburbs of Kings, a house in the blue suburbs.

-At least they look better, than some that look like an apocalyptic mess in the yard. -Cole gets out of the vehicle.

Duke also gets out, opens the door for Minnie, but she doesn't want to get out.

-Give me a moment, Cole, I have to repair the mess you made. -Duke answered.

-As you wish, Duke, I'll wait for you, while I listen to music and skate a little. -Cole answered and put on his hand free and took his skateboard out of his pocket and started to skate around.

-I don't like it when you talk bad about my mother. -Said Minnie throwing a tantrum.

-Don't worry, honey, on the contrary, your Uncle Cole gave me a scolding as usual, even so, he made me see how important you are in my life. -Duke answered and almost came to his senses, so he decided to pull out the grace card and added. -If you change that face, I won't take you to Princess Astrid's performance on ice in the front row.

-Princess Astrid... in the front row..." Minnie answered and was so shocked that she was traumatized and then screamed with emotion and added. -Thank you, daddy, for buying me the tickets, I forgive you seventy times seven.

-I like that, honey. -Duke answered while inside he was laughing devilishly to Death Note music.

-And we're going, you and me and mom together like a nuclear family. -Minnie shouted happily.

-And Kaede," Duke replied, causing her to change her expression from one of happiness to one of disappointment.

-But Kaede doesn't like that shit. -exclaimed Minnie who has to give him 10 dollars for saying that bad word.

-Honey, don't ever say that bad word again, you are too pretty to say that. -Duke replied.

-But if you, my mother and they say it all the time, besides she wouldn't even die, she wouldn't do that, I can't believe you want to replace my mother with her who repudiates everything good, sacred and holy. -Minnie replied.

-Don't worry, to return to Kaede, a model employee was not difficult, but not impossible... -Contested Duke who covers his hatreds and shouts to the four winds. - So, you know, you fucking kuniochi, metalhead, you're going to see Princess Astrid, on ice whether you like it or not!

Meanwhile on the other side of the world, in Japan, in a Japanese mansion that looks like a fortified fortress. A beautiful and fine Japanese woman is walking with her maids in the garden.

Attention, as they are Japanese, they are speaking in their language, but I am not going to write in Japanese, leave that for the comic and animated adaptation.

-Ready, Mrs. Saori, this is your schedule for today. -Said the maid who handed a kind of scroll to Ms. Saori verifying her schedule.

-I can't believe I have to go through all these fucking trots or problems, the shitty family I have turned me into Saori Sashima with that fucking traditional Japanese music, I want to go back to new land, I need my furry, my extreme satanic metal, filthy and dirty and greasy, I want to come just thinking about it," Saori thought with Kaede's mentality to the point that her eyes change from blue to Kaede's characteristic colors which are degraded crimson.

-You have to go back to your homeland from time to time. -Saori answered in her mind.

-Go to hell, because of that shit, we have to make Duke have to give him life to rescue us from our family. -Kaede replied.

-Ah, how romantic! -They both exclaimed.

-I'd still like him to penetrate me in front of my father and my fiancé so he can come inside me and shoot cum in their faces, but unfortunately Duke is not extreme enough to do that. -Kaede answered, which made Saori feel disgusted by what she just said.

-I have created a monster..." Saori replied with disgust and revulsion of what she just said. At that moment what Duke said hit home.

-YOUR FUCKING MOTHER MCDUCKWELL, IF YOU THINK I'M GOING TO GO TO THAT SHIT! -Saori exclaimed with Kaede's eyes.

-Security, Kaede Kushida wants to possess the ladies! -Exclaimed the maid alerting the security, but Saori connects an enzuigiri kick that knocks her out.

The ninjas and the security confronted her, but she easily subdued them, although some horns sounded with traditional Japanese music that subdued her causing her to fall to the floor.

Back to Knight.

-Don't fuck around, damn it, it's five in the morning. An African-American woman with an Egyptian hairstyle exclaimed.

-Jackie! -exclaimed Minnie as she rushed towards the woman. Cole comes back after giving her a walk around the block.

-Oh, I didn't know you and Shanise knew each other, rookie. -Cole exclaims as he walks over to them.

-Hey, don't tell me, Mr. Duke, that you...are..." Jackie exclaimed in horror at that.

-Yes, how strange that Shanise, she had never told me about you, even so, according to my research, she does have friends from her time as a proti...I mean a worker of carnal pleasures, don't tell me that you...-Duke answered surprised and surprised.

-Yes, I admit it, I, I...! -exclaimed Jackie who fell to her knees on the floor and tears came to her eyes.

-Don't worry, I'm not going to judge you for it, on the contrary, I congratulate you for being able to have a decent job for your family, your secret is safe with us. -Duke answered and hugged her comfortingly.

-Thank you Duke and I thought you were a macho oppressor, abuser, stingy, miserable, violent, rapist...ah...eh, I better forget about that. -Jackie replied, talking out of turn.

-Oh, so that's what that ungrateful woman told you about me. -exclaimed Duke who hugged her violently.

-No, please, I forgot what I said. -Jackie exclaims and pulls out of the hug.

-Don't worry, everything is recorded and there is nothing you can do about it. -Duke exclaimed, showing him the tape recorder with which he recorded the conversation.

-Oh!... then that means that you are going to blackmail me with that recording, that means that you are going to... -Responded Jackie who unbuttons her pajama shirt and pants.

-NOOOOOOOO! -Shouted Duke losing his head.

-I dropped an idol! You, Duke Mcduckwell, you were going to take advantage of this humble citizen, you disgust me! -Cole exclaims, "I can't believe how low he has fallen.

-Daddy Duke, you pervert! -I exclaim Minnie who hugs Cole's foot and avoids looking at him.

This automatically causes Duke to have an epileptic fit and bubbles come out of his mouth. Cole laughs his head off when he sees Duke, but he notices that Minnie is hugging his leg, but he uses a pick to get her off him.

-Minnie, what the hell is going on here? exclaimed an African-American boy who was confused by what was happening.

-Byron! -exclaimed Minnie, who rushed over to hug him.

-Oh, honey, I didn't realize he was there, we were just..." Jackie replied.

-And this furro duck and this rag doll, are these your suitors who are going to compete in a knife fight to the death? -Byron answered.

-NOOOOOOOO! -exclaimed Jackie who doesn't care about Duke and falls dejectedly to the floor and added. - I'm the worst mother in the world.

-Wait like four orifices...don't tell me you know the riddle that has been gnawing at my mind since I was young. -Cole answered, perplexed by Byron's words.

-That's easy, sir, the mouth, the vagina, the anus and the cervix. -Byron exclaimed, and Cole jumped back as if he had been punched in the face.

-Now I can die in peace. -Cole replied as he fell to the ground. As he falls to the ground his cotton soul comes out of his body, but Minnie catches his soul and forces it into his body.

-You can't die now, until you get your hands on me," Minnie replied like a crazy yandere killer.

-Minnie... What the hell are you doing? -Byron answered and looked at her in disgust.

-I don't know. -Minnie answered and let go of Cole out of fear and rushed to Byron who was horrified.

-Whatever you say, Minnie, let's go inside my mother and these two and make a fuss. -Byron grabbed them by the neck and dragged them into the house as if nothing had happened.

Note: Byron is like his mother, half human, half cartoon.

He takes advantage and sits them in the dining room chairs, searches his room for a water pistol, reloads it in the sink and shoots Duke and his mother's faces except for Cole who wears a stinky sock that instantly lifts him up.

-What the hell happened, Byron? -Jackie comes to, until he gets a whiff of the smell of the sock causing him to hold his nose and exclaim. -And that stinky smell.

-That's from my interrogation devices as a junior detective and what I just went through is a Rumiko type misunderstanding with pure ecchi. -Byron replied.

-Shame on you! -Jackie shouted in embarrassment.

-Duke, I think we should leave before the watchman changes shifts. -Said Cole as he regained consciousness.

-Yes, I know, although we shouldn't ask for a permit... -Duke answered while Cole took out the necessary permits to work with the investigation.

- What else do you need? - Cole asked.

- Tell me Kaede, since when did you transmogrify and become Cole? - Duke replied, surprised by this comment, Cole laughed about it.

-I want to work; do you think I come here to waste my time? -Cole replied.

-You guys are still working on the Candyland case," Jackie asked.

-Yes, that's what we're doing today. -Duke replied.

-Can I help, if you can? -Jackie replied.

-Of course you can, you and Becky can help us when we have all the evidence and we go to catch the criminals. -Cole answered and put his hands on her shoulders, but he noticed something that made him wonder. - Don't I know you from somewhere?

-No, sir, it's the first time I've seen it. -Jackie answered.

-Cole, we're going to be late; we have to get to the police headquarters to send the results of the forensics to Vanessa. -Duke exclaimed.

-You're talking about Vanessa Greymist, the freelance coroner. -Jackie answered.

-Yes, that's the one. -Duke replied.

-She scares me. -Jackie replied in horror.

-Don't blame her for being some kind of combination of a cartoon from the 30's and an action figure. -Cole replied as they left, but not before Duke said goodbye to Minnie.

-Listen, Minnie, be good to Mrs. Jackhammer, I hope you did your homework, I didn't check it because I was tired and woe betide you if you lower your grades, I'll deduct it from your allowance. -Duke threatened Minnie.

-Hey, Duke, don't make too many demands on her either, she's just a kid. -Jackie replied.

-That's the same methodology my family has used for generations, and it works, so I'm not going to argue with you. -Duke replied.

-Okay, if you say so. I'll see you later. Call me when you have the proofs, so I can help you. -Jackie replied, intimidated by Duke.

-Yes, Duke, let's get out of here. Bye, everybody. -Cole said as they left the house. They get into the car, and Duke starts it up to leave.

-Now Duke, are we going to go to the watchman or what? -Cole asks as they drive through town.

-We'll go to Vanessa Greymist to get her on the case before my rivals at Quack Investigations pull her aside, I've heard according to my spies that she's been pulled aside a lot lately. -Duke replied.

-SHH! Quack Investigations, don't tell me Denise is sticking her beak where it doesn't belong. -Cole replied.

-Same here, I hope they haven't booked her, in this case we need the best forensic scientist this country has. -Duke replied as they were arriving on the scene.

-Shit! It's Denise's 1970 Malcolm Continental (1970 Lincom Continental)," exclaimed Duke.

-That bitch is here! I'm going out the window to see if there's any hope. I'm going to jump out the window to see if there's hope," Cole replied as Duke lowered the window by pressing the button that belongs to the co-driver. Cole turns into a spring to jump out of the vehicle, turns back into his normal state, pulls his skateboard out of one of his pockets, skids quickly towards the door which is a spiral door, but it's spinning at that moment so he gets caught spinning around the door until he shoots out to the reception desk.

-We have an appointment with Miss Vanessa Greymit, Miyuki," replied Cole who is stunned by the impact where rag birds spin around in his head and hands him a chocolate bar.

-Look who we have here, but if it isn't the failed attempt at normalization, named Cole Carson, what the heck are you doing here? -A humanoid beagle hunting dog with a detective outfit very similar to Duke's answered.

-Oh, look, if it isn't Denisse's dog, how are you Bucky? -Cole answered mockingly, but he didn't take it as a joke so he grabbed him by the collar of his T-shirt and lifted him up like it was nothing.

How many times have I told you, you fourth-rate rag, don't call me Bucky! -I exclaim Bucky who looks at him in an intimidating way, but Cole looks at him with confidence and pride.

-That's enough, Bruce! You're giving my company a bad face with your attitude. -Said a humanoid rouen leg like duke, with brown hair, slender, voluptuous, her costume is very similar to duke's, only what changes is only the colors of clothes that are white, black and silver, along with her gray detective coat. She walks towards them with elegance and height.

-Speaking of the queen of Rome, Denisse Quack, again keeping Vanessa all to yourself. -Cole answered and took out a spray air freshener to get rid of the dog smell. At the same time he shamelessly shoots Bucky in the mouth with mouth spray and added. -There, now I'll get rid of that dog smell you have.

-(laughs serenely) What are you doing here Carson? Zatelizer kicked you out because of how useless you are as a head-hunter and now you're snuggling with Duke because his girlfriend Kaede isn't here. -Denise answered, which doesn't sit very well with Cole.

-Well, well, well, well, but look who we have here, she's the spoiled little girl who thinks she's a full-fledged woman, if she thinks you're going to stay with Vanessa, this time, you're wrong we have a big case on our hands. -Responded Duke who is behind her, Cole stands next to him to shield himself.

-Yes, of course, detective avenger, as you say, surely you come for the candyland case, right? -Denisse answered.

-Yes, why do you ask? -Duke answered.

-Typical detectives of law and chaos that take any case, from the smallest and cheapest, to those so complex and convoluted, but at the end of the day they are hypocrites on the inside, everyone who works at Murphy Tower knows it. -Denisse answered.

-Yes, I won't deny that, but I won't accept it either, but one thing I do know is that we work for the people and by the people, besides, you are not very different from me, since you are more private and restrictive with your business. Thanks to that, we have more clients than you. -Duke replied.

-What is this fuss in my institute! Oh, but it is the eternal rivalry between research agencies, Chaos Law Advanced Research and Quack Investigations. -Said a pale woman with albino hair, her eyes are like the animations of the 30's, with her lab coat, and her dress that is like that of a goth girl.

-Oh, Miss Greymit, it's a pleasure to work with you again. -Denisse answers and pushes Duke to stand in front of her and hold out her hand, but she slaps it away and walks over to Cole.

-Go to hell, Quack, I'm sick of you and your furies, I assigned the cases to my trainees. -Vanessa replied and seductively snuggles up to Cole while he laughs evilly.

-You traitorous bitch, how dare you leave me for that rag doll. -I exclaim Denise who responds as Soraya Montenegro and added. -I demand an explanation right now.

-My lady Quack, don't lose your composure and we were not supposed to have booked you! -Bucky answered.

-You don't have a girlfriend, you bastard. -exclaimed Denise who crawled crying to Bucky.

Cole takes out from his pockets his ntr permit/license and shows it to her.

-But you didn't make up with her. -Duke answers.

-Yes, I know, but when we passionately reconciled, I told her I would work with you on the case with you. She questioned me about it, I told her I was possibly meeting Vanessa to help us on the case and she kicked my ass, leaving me naked in front of the building. Fortunately, I was able to grab all my stuff before she kicked me out of the vehicle. -Cole replied.

-You're a bastard, Cole, now she's worse than before. -Duke replied.

-I know, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Cole replied, which captivated Duke, making a half gay scene that provoked the receptionist, who is a kind of female gundam-like mecha, to short circuit him and bleed oil out of her nose.

-Again, with your Fujoshi stuff, Miyuki, at least pretend, pervert. -Vanessa replied.

-Sorry, Vanessa-sama. -Miyuki replied.

-They're done with their sitcom. -Interrupted Bucky.

-Yes, we don't have all day. -Denisse answered.

Until someone in a robe and a plague doctor's mask appeared behind them, accompanied by an icy and gloomy wind that made their feathers and hair stand on end.

-A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Bruce Buchanan Rogers, Miss Denisse Quack, my name is Winter Winslow and I will be your assigned coroner since Miss Greymist is going to attend another case. -Winter replied.

-Really, you're not going to work with me this time, Vanessa. -Denisse answered.

-You know that when Cole works with Duke, I can't say no. -replied Vanessa.

-As you wish, Bruce, let's go with Mr. Winter, we don't have time to lose. -Answered Denisse who goes with them and she whispered angrily. -Damn bitch.

-Perfect, now you can go to my office so we can talk about the case. -Vanessa replied as they follow her to her office. When they enter the place, they sit in their armchairs and she sits in her office chair to enter her desk and added. -What do you have for me.

-You remember my father's gulabons case. -Duke asked.

-Yes, I remember perfectly well, that case elevated my career to stardom. -Why do you say that? -Vanessa answered.

-Because it's happening in a similar, but more organized way, Cole, tell him what you saw at the factory. -Duke replied.

-I can use your meeting room, prepare some slides. -Cole replied.

-Sure, honey, use it, I love your slides. -Vanessa replied.

-Perfect. -Cole replied as they headed to the meeting room. As they enter the room, Cole pulls out his laptop and rushes over to the desk. He sets up the overhead projector, connects the cables, turns on his computer, calibrates the projector, makes the appropriate settings and starts the presentation.

>> When Martin and I were at the factory, we came across a devourer victim with a large hole in his head with his brain a bit eaten out.

-Yes, all the victims of the recent cases present the same, what's the difference, now. -Vanessa said.

-The difference is that the cookie hunter, is not the only gulabon that is addicted to cannibalization, lately, they have caught several gulabons that were not the cookie hunter. -Duke answered and asked Cole to show them several pictures of the perpetrators with the pictures of the victims next to them.

-Shit, it's like that time. -Vanessa replied and added. -What do you want me to do?

-We need to know what causes the Gulabons to go crazy and the conditions that cause the Candalorians to suffer this effect. -Duke answers and asks the science bullet to put on a helmet that projects his memories. The bullet obeys the order, puts on the helmet and projects the exact moment when the eyes turn golden.

-That's impossible, that shouldn't exist! -Vanessa shouted in a panic and added. -Wait for me there, I'll be right back.

-Damn, this thing is serious. -Cole replied.

-While she goes off to get what she needs to get, let's talk about the bastard who attacked you. -Duke replied.

-He just shot coins at me, just like the coin sharp shooter would do, but he's in jail, some specific family member. -Cole answered.

-I understand he has a son who belongs to the boy scouts at Minnie's school," answered Duke, who turned on his light bulb, pulled out of his trench coat one of the wrappings he was able to collect from the crime scene and added. -Of course, but if the answer is here.

-But how are we going to prove that it's candy that causes that, they must have a huge catalog of candy. -Cole replied.

-We have a lot of work to do, I think we're going to need the junior detectives so they can infiltrate the boy scouts. Plus, the things Vanessa is going to put us through. -Duke replied.

-I don't like underage kids, let alone putting them in danger. -Cole replied.

-We don't have a choice since we have to go through a very extensive bureaucratic process to infiltrate as minors. -Duke replied.

-Yes, you are right, but if something happens to those kids," Cole replied.

-It will fall on our responsibility and conscience. No, it matters, we'll do whatever it takes to find those bastards. After all, they are not very different from us. -Duke replied.

-I have arrived. -Said Vanessa, carrying a big old book.

-What the hell is that? -Cole answered.

-That, my friend, is a book of candalorian alchemy," answered Duke as he sees Vanessa flipping through the book looking for the right page and added when she finds it, they give a tour. -Ready, here it is.

-Golden flavor, what the heck is that? -Cole read which leaves him intrigued.

-That's illegal and unnatural! Those bastards! -But how will they do it without the ministry of health and the normalizers noticing. -Duke answered.

The gold flavor, my love, is the flavor that gives life to the Candalorians but if non-Candalorians consume it in its pure state even themselves, it would unleash a wave of candy-eating zombies, it is something abominable since that flavor is so powerful that those who consume it can turn into gold flavor with an overdose. -Vanessa explained.

-How diabolical, they are going to make a zombie apocalypse! -Cole replied.

-I doubt it, doing a zombie apocalypse in this day and age would be stupid, I think this is going in a different direction, but I need proof. -Duke answered.

-Yes, you're right, that's why I need you to get me the results of the most recent biopsies, some volunteers to confirm my theory. Also bring me some candy from the boy scouts, specifically the ones found at the crime scenes. -Vanessa replied.

-That's fine, but we'll leave the volunteers last since it's a very delicate matter. -Duke replied.

-I can use your meeting room, prepare some slides. -Cole replied.

-Sure, honey, use it, I love your slides. -Vanessa replied.

-Perfect. -Cole replied as they headed to the meeting room. As they enter the room, Cole pulls out his laptop and rushes over to the desk.

-Perfect, we'll see you when they bring me what they have to bring me. -Answered Vanessa while Cole took the opportunity to pick up everything and leave. But not before passing by the meeting room where Denisse is and making fun of them, which causes her to burst with anger and run away from there.

Meanwhile, a few hours after Duke dropped Shanise off at the bureau de change, she takes her turn in an endless line, she takes the opportunity to sit in a seat to wait her turn as an unimaginable number of chairs in the waiting room. She picks up her cell phone and turns the sound down to silent, to play her mobile games. First, she starts playing a game like Candy Crush, only with food, the name of the game is Food Crush.
