Part 4: Episode Two: Traffic Patrol... of DOOM!
Last time on Police Quest...
Let's roll.

Let me have my little fun.


What are the swanky cars for?


Sonny, the driver's door is on the other side.



Uh... what are you doing?



And why are you walking around the car, Sonny? Is this an OCD thing? Do you have to touch your forehead three times afterward? Because it really helps if you take the meds, and...


Walking around your car in a circle is policy? Does it keep gremlins away?


And what will happen if you don't do that? It'll just spontaneously get a flat tire or blow up or something?

Alright, alright, if it makes you happy.


Fine. Can we drive now?


Ha-ha, funny man. You do know I'm the one driving, right?


Oh, hey, a little present! Fortune smiles upon thee, Sonny Bonds! Thou hast found a nightstick!

So in other words, you spin it around really fast so it hurts people more when you hit them with it?

I bet. How long did you spend learning to handle your stick, anyway?

Fine, fine. Are you ready?


Here we gooooo

Awww, look. That's cute. All the little pastel blocks. Where are we?



OH GOD I DON'T KNOW


WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? I BARELY NUDGED IT!




WHO IN THE HELL DESIGNED THIS THING? I'M BARELY TOUCHING THE WHEEL HERE! I KEEP LOSING TRACK OF WHERE WE ARE!



Okay... okay. I think I'm getting this. I'm getting it. What's that big road?

Come on, Sonny. Where's your sense of adventure?


83-32! That's us, right?

Cool! Do I get to turn on the siren?

Awww.



Fine.


Uh-oh! The green lego is having some serious trouble there!




Yeah, looks like he crashed into that storage building. You should get over there and check on things, Sonny.


A closer look reveals a bloody injury to the left side of his head and a gaping hole in his lower-right jaw!
No pulse. No breathing. No vital signs.
There is a bullet hole in the driver's window. This is not your normal, everyday traffic accident. In your opinion, this man was murdered!
Looks like the only storage he's going to see... is COLD storage.

...

...

It was just a j-


The car radio crackles a response...
"10-4, 83-32. We copy 187pc homicide."
"Be advised, one homicide unit is en route, and the Coroner's Office has been notified. Continue investigation."
What's a 187?

And should we... check the body or something?





What is he wearing?


"I was buying a paper at the newsstand across the street when I heard the scream of tires," he tells you. "I looked down the street, and here comes this car and a light blue, late-model Cadillac racing down the street side-by-side!"
"When they got closer, I heard a 'bang.' I thought one of 'em had a blowout!"
"But, right after that, this car here lost control and crashed. The light blue Caddie just kept on jammin'!" he finishes breathlessly.

"All I know is," says the witness, "I think I saw part of his license plate number, 'L964.'"


Now what?




Got here quick.


Awesome. Now we get to see all that cool scene-of-crime investigation stuff, right?

"Hit the streets and try to find the rat responsible," says Sgt. Dooley. "I'll introduce the witness to Hamilton."
What?


Writing tickets?


This is not fair.

Next time on Police Quest: Lytton HEAT!
