Officer Tim didn't see it happen and fell on the floor with the same expression he had before he got shot. Nor did Jarvis until the very last second. By then it was too late. "I wasn't gonna let you catch me." It was Drappy. What Jarvis and Tim failed to see was a security camera facing the entrance. Drappy knew Jarvis was coming so he planned a counterattack. "Oh, don't worry." Drappy mocked, "Hes not dead. Not yet anyway. Take a look for yourself. I've turned your cop friend against you."

Jarvis saw Tim struggling to get up from the floor. His body pulsating to the beat of his heart. All of a sudden, Tim's arms grew muscular and veiny. His face was slowly distorting with his eyes moving to his chin and his mouth grinning where his eyes should be. His legs grew longer, thinner but muscular. Tim's torso widened and ripped his uniform. The distorted Tim lashed out at Jarvis. Jarvis panicked and tackled Drappy who should've seen it coming if he wasn't laughing maniacally. Drappy pushed Jarvis off of him and took a few steps back. The distorted Tim cried for help as his body moved independently from him.

"You have 2 options my homeless friend!" Yelled Drappy at Jarvis, "This gun can reverse his effects but can also worsen it. I can also make you my monster too. You aint getting more of my money and you won't arrest me. So just take your loss and leave. That's the only way to save your friend... from getting worse." The monster slowly moved next to Drappy as if he was a dog getting ready to attack at his master's order. Jarvis had no idea how else to help but to leave. Drappy laughed villainously not realizing that his gun was stolen!

Right next to Jarvis, was Tybalt carrying the gun and handing it over to Jarvis! When did he steal it? and right off of Drappy's hand? Drappy noticed finally once Jarvis pointed the gun at Drappy. Almost as if on cue, Tim, monstrous as he is at that state, cooperated with his body, sharing a similar goal, and turned against Drappy. It seems the gun is the master of monsters and whoever holds it controls the monsters the gun creates... or so thinks Jarvis. He never got to test his theory out very well.

A posse of policemen rushed the cave and pointed guns at everyone and everything. Jarvis and Tybalt raised their hands to the sky. The body of Tim mistaken this for a threat and came to the side of Jarvis, scaring the police. Jarvis yelled at the monster to cooperate. Tim obeyed and sat down on his veiny legs. The police calmed down and proceeded to arrest Drappy.

They were about to handcuff Jarvis, but Tim growled subconsciously as Tim warned to not arrest Jarvis. Tim told the police he can't control his body and Jarvis said he was willing to cooperate. The police rather not face a monster like Tim, so they agreed. After telling the cops the situation, Jarvis handed the gun over to a police detective. The buttons on the gun were scribbled with colors and nonsense. Drappy laughed and said he was the only one who knows how to use the gun. "Don't worry," said the detective, "There's a whole division created to receive as much information out of a source as possible." Drappy shuts up as he realized he said too much.

Some policemen thanked Jarvis for helping out in this case. Tim also gave his thanks. The police will do their best to return Officer Tim back to his original form. More cops swept the hideout to find more evidence and money to give back to the bank.

Jarvis was taken to the back of a police car and was driven back to Tor Town. That made him wonder why Tim didn't have a police car. 'It does not matter' Jarvis thought. The sky was starting to turn a brilliant orange because the Sol was setting.

After a bit of questioning and understanding the whole situation, the police let Jarvis go. Jarvis asked for a reward or anything to start with. A few policemen felt bad that they couldn't officially give him a reward for what's considered a citizen's arrest. Unofficially they donated 25 gold coins (which 1 coin is worth the price of a small plate of food, while 2 is worth a night at an inn, no oriental breakfast though), a red sleeved blue sports shirt with the number 64 on the front coming from an officer who had a spare shirt, and a box lunch with yellow rice, red meat curry, and a variety of steamed vegetables. Jarvis thanked the officers and left the town.

Following behind was little Tybalt who snacked on some of the steamed vegetables while Jarvis wasn't looking. Jarvis was happy to have some company. After wearing the new shirt under his lab coat, Jarvis and Tybalt went along their way to look around the world. Jarvis has no clue what was going on, but he feels good exploring the place. Armed with a walking stick, a bag of gold coins he could use as a makeshift weapon, and a... well he isn't sure what Tybalt is, Jarvis sets off to see this world. Maybe he will come across something or someone to help him remember. But he's not worried about that for now.
