"Hello there viewers, Shinko here...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them back up again, in order for me to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers, as I am sure you read from the previous chapter, our current situation is still to the effect of being involved in a real world setting. More specifically viewers, me and some of the still present members of The Four Aces Alliance, have now ended up in the real world so too speak. Or in this case, we are still on the crime drama tv series known as 'Numb3rs.' Now then, I did say that we would be covering every single Numb3rs episode from the previous one being 'Toxin,' to the very last episode, 'Cause And Effect.' But mind you viewers, we will be covering these episodes and those in between them, in a more shortened sense. Because I don't know about you, but I don't think that having to go through 96 more 45 minute episodes is really a way that either me or you viewers want to spend a good portion of our time, now does it? So viewers with this in mind, we will be doing some speed run strategizing so too speak. And when you read this particular chapter, then you will know just exactly what it is that I am on about. But for now, and as usual viewers, a mandatory chapter recap is in order...So viewers, let us now get on with that chapter recap, shall we?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my eyes closed in a very cute looking manner*"
Date: November 25, 2005
Okay, so getting back to the currently still ongoing situation from the last chapter. Which was just after I had finished my end of chapter fourth wall break from the tail end of the last chapter. And this was also just after me and several of my still currently present allies of The Four Aces Alliance had wound up in the real world live action setting, of the well known TV crime drama series known as Numb3rs.
But, with one hired gunman Bill Yardley having been taken care of by one Hotel Moscow's Boris. This had now shifted things into me and my allies favor, because with what I was about to offer to Ian Edgerton and to that of another important main character in the Numb3rs TV series. This was going to enable me and everyone else to make it through however many episodes stood between both us, and the next potential timeline that we would all end up in.
And so, with this thought very much on my mind...
"Pardon the interruption agent Edgerton, but what if I told you I know all that there is to know, of the situation that you're in right now? And more importantly, what will happen to you and those whom you're associated with with 100% accuracy?" I now proceeded to say over to Ian Edgerton with what was possibly the most sincere and polite tone and expression that I could give at the moment, given the circumstances.
And then...
"And what makes you think that I..." Ian Edgerton then proceeded to say over to me with in response. Only for me to cut him off midway through his response.
"Okay where do I begin. Well, you're currently involved in an investigation with one Graybridge Pharmaceuticals. You're currently the fourth best sniper in the world. But more importantly the man you were just speaking with just saved one cattle rancher Bob McHugh from being shot with a high caliber sniper bullet. Now then, what else would you like me to tell you about next agent Edgerton? Should I give you the winning numbers for the lottery for the next few months? Or should I perhaps let you know of the clear and obvious fact, that when it comes to a certain CalSci mathematician, that professor Eppes is now not the only one, who is able to perform multiple complex calculations? But yet they can perform them, at a faster speed then the current average supercomputer? So here's what I have to offer you and agent Eppes. I can give you with close to 100% accuracy, what you and your colleagues will wind up facing. But mind you, that it will be in the form of bits and pieces. Because some parts will be somewhat vague. And in return, you allow us to be consultants for you, as well as the rest of those that are part of Eppes FBI team. Because I can assure you Ian, that what we have to offer you, is something that you won't find in the usual real world setting. So Ian what do you say? Do we have an accord?" I then proceeded to say back over to agent Edgerton with in response. Which during this, I had then proceeded to hold out my hand in anticipation.
And, as I had intended with my statement, Ian wasted no time in shaking my hand. And as for me, and my response back...
"Good, now then..." I proceeded to start to say. But then...
"McHugh! McHugh listen to me, MCHUGH?!" Another male voice had proceeded to shout out. Which from what I knew, was one FBI agent Don Eppes.
And then...
"Well Ian, shall we now go greet the locals? Because I think that it is now time for me to show you, why you just made one of the best decisions you'll ever make. So minna, shall we?" I now proceeded to say, as I also proceeded to turn behind me and glance at the rest of my allies that were present. Who all simply wound up nodding back to me in response.
And so, a short time later...
"Ian, what took...Wait, who are you guys?" Agent Don Eppes proceeded to ask, as he then took immediate notice of me and the rest of my currently still present allies standing a couple of feet behind Ian.
And as for me, and my response back...
"Well agent Eppes, think of us as consultants for you and your brother. Because I think that you find..." I then proceeded to say. Only for Don Eppes to then proceed to cut me off midway through my response back to him.
"What do you know about my brother?" Don Eppes then proceeded to say back to me in response with. As I then took immediate notice of his facial features then proceeding to tighten up slightly. Which gave me the indication, that he was skeptical on what it was that I had to offer. But that, was about to change...
"Well where do I begin agent Eppes? Ah yes of course, you used to play for a baseball team named the Stockton Rangers. Your brother Charlie Eppes was able to determine the amount of walks you would get just by looking at your stance when you were at bat at the plate. And that agent Eppes is only a fraction of what I know about what you've already been through, and what still awaits you in future cases that you and your team will encounter. So think of me and my allies, as psychics. Only we're what you would call the real deal. So Eppes, if you allow me and my allies to consult for you, and your team. Then we will provide you with unique information, into each of your upcoming cases. So agent Eppes, do we have an accord? Because if I am not mistaken, you have a cattle rancher to round up, am I right?" I then proceeded to say back over to Don Eppes with in response.
And as I had intended...
"Hey Ian, can I talk to you for a second?" Don Eppes then proceeded to glance over to Ian Edgerton with saying.
And as for me...
"Yeah so there isn't time for that right now? Because your person of interest is currently standing in an ammunition and ordinance dumpsite. So unless you both want an unplanned fireworks show, then I suggest that you both save the private conversations, until after he's out of danger and in your custody, okay?" I had then proceeded to say back to both Ian and Don in response with.
And so, another short while later...
"If anyone comes through that gate, the dump goes and the forest goes with it!" The somewhat agitated voice of one Bob McHugh proceeded to say. Which was while he was holding a lit flare stick in one of his hands, and what appeared to be a loaded revolver in the other. And while he was also currently standing on top and in the middle of the ammunition and ordinance dumpsite, that had been mentioned previously.
And then, as for me and the rest of my allies that were still currently present...
"Okay seriously? So this is the big plan you both came up with? You're just going to sit here and hope that he doesn't blow us all up? Because forgive me for saying this, but I don't think that an FBI van is going to do much good against a possible explosion! In fact you know what?..." I now proceeded to say, as I then proceeded to simply stand up, use my athleticism to forward flip over the top of the chain link fence, and then stick the landing on the other side.
And then...
"Why don't I just show you, why you both made the right decision in accepting my terms of agreement," I then proceeded to say, while I also proceeded to glance back towards everyone else who was still on the other side of the chain link fence that I had just proceeded to forward flip over effortlessly.
And then...
"Excuse me Mr. McHugh? I have some information that I think that you'll find useful to your current situation. Did you know that the beef that you have been eating for most of your life is living proof of Graybridge Pharmaceuticals having sold you tainted antibiotics? Now to sump this bit up Mr. McHugh. Graybridge hired a gunman, who shot one of the negotiators during a standoff that you had at your ranch. And they were hoping that you would die in the gunfire. So, why don't we put down that flare, along with your weapon, and we go and reunite you with your wife, hmm?" I proceeded to say to Bob McHugh. And sure enough, my tactic worked.
Because about a minute later, with me then having Bob McHugh escorted out of the dumpsite by both me and agent Eppes. I was now entirely confident, that me and the rest of my still present allies, were now poised to smoothly sail through the rest of the series.
But what I didn't know as of yet, was that we would have quite a long way to go, with regard to our current situation regarding one Aleister Crowley.
"But for now viewers, Shinko here again by the way...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them back up again, in order for me to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers, as for me and my allies current situation regarding Aleister Crowley? Well we're going to be taking a bit of a break from that. Because with just how many episodes of Numb3rs we will be covering. This is going to be quite the involvement with the tv series. As in the upcoming chapters, will be covering every single episode, from this one, which is Season 2, Episode 22 'Toxin,' to Season 6, Episode 16 'Cause And Effect.' So think of this viewers, as a slightly different retelling of sorts, of the Numb3rs crime drama TV series okay?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them back up again, in order for me to continue, to properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers for right now, this does once again in fact now currently mark the end of this current chapter. But like always viewers, we will be getting right back into the action in the very next chapter. So viewers from me, Keiko, Zachary, Catherine, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we will see all of you in the next chapter. So viewers, see you all there, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while I am also currently proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed, while I am also proceeding to do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"
And now that the chapter recap is over and done with. Well, at least for now, we will now proceed on with the chapter at hand.
Date: December 2, 2005
Okay, so a week had now passed since the incident with Bob McHugh and Graybridge Pharmaceuticals. And as of several days ago after the previous chapter, me and those of my allies of The Four Aces Alliance that had been present back then, had now become a bit more antiquated with being in a real world setting.
Which, after I had demonstrated on many occasions since then what me and my allies could do. You know apart of course from letting anyone else yet know of the abilities that we possessed. Since no one in the real world would've been quite yet ready to be introduced to the real deal when it came to actual magic.
But as of right now, myself, along with Momoko, and the rest of my still currently present allies, were now officially consultants for Don Eppes and the rest of his team. And, given what I knew about what was due to happen next, which was pretty much everything. I was now ready to demonstrate just how easy it was going to be to close the book on each case in the remaining episodes of the series.
And speaking of which, we were currently at one of those case sites. Or in this case, we were at a museum, more specifically at the bottom of one of the stair cases, and the dead body of a woman was at the bottom of that star case. Who as it turned out, was missing one of her high heeled shoes.
And as for more on the current situation at hand? Well you see, about that...
"So let me get this straight Lopez. You were the one who found Jennifer here dead at the bottom of the stairs is that right?" I was currently questioning one of the museums security guards who had been on patrol the night in which one Jennifer Abernathy. The female that was currently dead at the bottom of the stair case, had been found dead by Lopez, the same security guard that I was now questioning.
"Yes, that's correct," Lopez proceeded to say back to me in response.
And as for me, and my response back...
"So let me ask you this then Lopez. Just how did you find her really? Because if I am not mistaken Lopez, your usual patrol path isn't in this area. So why don't you tell me exactly why you decided, out of seemingly nowhere, to change your path of patrol, the night that Ms. Abernathy was murdered?" I then proceeded to say back to Lopez in response.
And then...
"Well you see I..." Lopez then tried to say back to me in response.
Only for me to then cut him off midway through...
"Also Lopez, and correct me if I am wrong. But was your name not on a tribal registry, until it was recently struck off by your chief, isn't that correct?" I now proceeded to say back to Lopez as a follow up.
Only this time Lopez remained silent. And then...
"Hey Don? I think Lopez here knows who killed Ms. Abernathy. So Lopez, here is how this is going to go. You can either tell us why you assisted the murderer in killing Ms. Abernathy. Or, we can take you in for possible accessory. And if you're wise enough..." I then proceeded to say back over to Lopez with in response.
And while I had said my statement, I had turned by attention over to Don Eppes. Which as I had intended, had then prompted him over.
And as for Lopez...
"I think I had better talk to my lawyer," Lopez then proceeded to say back to both me and Don Eppes.
And as for me...
"Do you really want to waste our time with talking to your lawyer Lopez? Because I already know, that you assisted the murderer. Because if you had helped in letting them in, then your name would have been put right back onto the tribal registry. So I am only going to ask you this once Lopez. Save me and the FBI the trouble, and take us to your chief. Because I know, that he was the one who murdered Ms. Abernathy. So with that being said Lopez, unless..." I then proceeded to say back over to Lopez with in response.
Which as I had intended, wound up having him change his tune so too speak. And as for his response back? Well about that, because only a couple of minutes later...
"Chief Clearwater, you're under arrest for the murder of Jennifer Abernathy. I am going to need you to put your hands behind your back please," Don Eppes proceeded to say to one Chief Clearwater. Who had just recently gone and confessed to not only insinuating that he had indeed in fact murdered one Jennifer Abernathy. But on top of that, I had explained in some detail, as to both the motive, and what exactly the reason was for why he had gone and killed her. And as Chief Clearwater was read his Miranda Rights, I was now more confident then ever, that when it came to me and the rest of my allies.
What with regard to, and as I had intended, that with me using my in depth knowledge of the Numb3rs episodes, was going to end up being quite the effective speed running strategy. That as long as I continued to use it. Would enable us to get through the rest of the episodes without very much difficulty. And, just as importantly, made for quite the spot of fun for me, and the rest of my allies that were still currently present with me as well.
"Well viewers, that is one more episode down, and still another ninety more or so to go. Nothing like using a speed run type strategy in real life hmm? Shinko here by the way again viewers...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them back up again, in order for me to continue, to properly address the viewers*...Now then viewers, the episode that was just covered for those who don't know? Well it was Season 2, Episode 23 'Bones Of Contention.' And also viewers? This speed run strategy as you just read about, is going to allow me and my allies, to make quick work of the remaining episodes, between this one, and all the way to Season 6, Episode 16 'Cause And Effect.' I mean after all viewers, I did say in the previous chapter, that this was going to be a retelling of sorts with regard to the Numb3rs TV series did I not?...*I proceed to say this, while also proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed. To which I then proceed to open both of them back up again, in order for me to continue, to properly address the viewers*...But anyway viewers for right now, this does once again in fact now currently mark the end of this current chapter. But like always viewers, we will be getting right back into the action in the very next chapter. So viewers from me, Keiko, Zachary, Catherine, and the rest of The Four Aces Alliance, we will see all of you in the next chapter. So viewers, see you all there, okay?...*I proceed to say this, while I am also currently proceeding to smile with both of my light blue eyes closed, while I am also proceeding to do this, in my usual very cute looking manner as well*"
