One Stop

[The Riddler]

Okay, everybody. I've created a little adventure for you. To appreciate it, you'll need:

1) Windows operating system
2) Good reading skills
3) Time management

On your computer, go to C:\Windows\Media\

there should be a file in there called onestop.mid

Find something that will play it, and get ready.

For this adventure, you need to take note of the different times that the paragraphs start at, and make sure you don't read ahead until the song reaches that point in time. (You will also notice pretty obvious changes in the music, so you don't have to check it TOO closely) You might want to un-maximize this window so you can scroll down and still see the song time.

Are you with me?

Just remember, if you fall behind, reset the music or something so that you're at the right spot with each section.

One more thing, I put some stuff in < > arrows to fill time. If you finish reading early,
that's what's going on.

Whenever you're ready, clear your mind, become the main character..and hit play..

0:00-
You're a loose-cannon cop in the 80's who just finished chasing down and battling the man who was threatening to set off a nuclear bomb. He killed your wife, so you didn't hesitate to empty a few clips of your partner's gun into his chest after taking a bullet to your left shoulder and right leg. (your partner was shot down during this battle, but she's going to make it and probably marry you someday).
After smirking and saying "Hope there's sharks in hell" (relevant to an earlier confrontation) over the dieing villain's body, you limp your way out of the abandoned castle the fight took place in. <Reflect>

0:40-
After some hugs, some more hugs, smiles, and a check-up at the hospital, your station throws a little party for you at the local bar. Beer in hand, you look around at your friends and realize that maybe you do come off a little harsh sometimes. You've experienced a deadly, epic showdown and it's changed you. With your arm around your partner's shoulder (platonic right now, but you can tell that there's a hint of flirtation), you look down, smiling, and decide to be a little nicer from now on. <Enjoy the party>

1:05-
A woman walks into the bar. She's wearing a trench coat and looks a little out of place to you. It also feels like you've seen her before. Back when you were following leads for the nuclear bomb guy!? You set your drink down and do a double-take.<Look around>

1:23-
Just as you try to spot her in the crowded bar, the jazz band strikes up a loud, distracting song. It takes your attention. Afterwards, you look around the bar again, but find no trace of the woman in the trench coat! <Be pensive>

1:35-
Cut to your house. It's your 17 year old son doing homework when his girlfriend knocks on the door. They hug and sit down in the kitchen.
<They make small talk and eat something>
They're good, innocent kids and they decide to go to the....

1:53-
Carnival! It's in town and seems like fun! The only problem is...he forgot to lock the front door when they left... <carnival montage>

2:00-
Cut back to the bar- The party is settling down. You down the last of your beer and your partner offers to drive you home- you decline (she's been through enough). You say farewell to your friends and get a taxi to take you home. As you walk up the driveway, you see your son's car is gone- but you also see the front door is open...<Hesitate>

2:18-
The house is RANSACKED. It's TORN apart. You're overwhelmed! (and a bit drunk). You struggle to get your cell phone from your pocket, but with a CRACK to the back of your head, everything goes black.
You wake up in a dark room, tied to a chair.
Your son and his girlfriend come back from the carnival to find a note pinned to the front door.

"We have your father. If the cops are called- he will be killed. Good luck." An address is written.

It is clear that your son is going to have to save you.

His girlfriend, oblivious and scared, says "Oh my God! We have to save your dad- let's go to the police- it's safe there."

He replies "Sure babe, I just have to make...ONE STOP." <He gets mad, lock 'n load montage>

2:47-
After a wardrobe change which includes some seriously sick, black kevlar, leather, and
weapons, your son kisses his girlfriend and they drive out to the address on the note.

A man is waiting at the front door. Your son gets out, and an epic shootout begins!
Your son's car gets shot up, but his girlfriend hides behind it.

Both guys run out of ammo, and an ABSOLUTELY EPIC close-range fight goes down between them.
Your son eventually kills the man with a gun his girlfriend had in her purse- in the same way you killed the man in the castle! Your son spits on the dead villain and limps inside and unties you. <Dramatic pauses>


3:11-
