[Fade up, a local news show]
Reporter: The robbery was foiled by what seems to be a new superhero in town. Eyewitnesses report a man in a long black suit and mask grabs the would-be-villain, handcuffing him to a nearby bike rack. He looked like “Neo in The Matrix, but with a jack-o-lantern mask”. This reporter was able to obtain this exclusive surveillance footage of the incident.
[cut to black & white security footage. The robber runs into frame, and is stopped by the “hero” with a kick to the stomach. He is then grabbed, the “hero” runs up the wall for Sliced Bread #2 & again for a Moonsault.]
Reporter: It was then that the robber was handcuffed to a bike rack, and the Hero left this… a small jack-o-lantern, and a note: “courtesy of Halloween Jack” Does the city have a new superhero? Or has Charlie Brown’s fascination with the Great Pumpkin finally made him snap, only time will tell.
[the TV screen turns off as we cut to the office of Joey Pompeii, where the usual suspects (in the persons of Tex & Johnston Rawk) are continuing to search for the missing North T Gunderson.]
Pompeii: Well?
Tex: He moves like North.
Rawk: That was North’s move.
Tex: It could be him. It’s the sort of thing I could see him doing.
Rawk: So, now what?
Pompeii: Now? NOW YOU GO FIND HIM! HIS CONTRACT SAYS I HAVE TO PAY HIM WHETHER HE’S HERE OR NOT! I DON’T LIKE LOOSING MONEY! MOVE!
[as Tex & Rawk exit we hear]
Rawk: So… how exactly does one hunt a hero?
