Freaks Episode 33: The Riot

Human Crowd: NO MORE MUTANTS! NO MORE MUTANTS!

Security Advisor: Sir, we may have to tell them to push back. They're really pissed off by your antics.

Mayor Alex Watson: Look, I know what I'm doing. I'm sure we can work something out.

Security Advisor: But sir...We need to restrict these people from hurting others. Who knows that there will be deadly consequences.

Mayor Watson: I'll do the best I can.

Human Crowd: DOWN WITH THE MUTANTS! ALL MUTANTS SHOULD GO AWAY!

Mayor Watson: Great, this is bigger than I thought it would be.

Security Advisor: I suggest we have do something about the mutant problem. Otherwise....

Mayor Watson: Yes, I know. Anyways, we'll deal with these mutants later. But the speech must come first. Tom, where's that damn paper?

Tom Henderson (assistant): Here sir.

Mayor Watson: Good. It's about time.

Human Crowd: MUTIES! YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE! GO AWAY!

Skater: Yeah dudes, humans rule.

Mayor Watson: Ah my dear community members. I come here to listen to your request. I know that this mutant problem is affecting your lives. There is a way we can deal with this situation.

Farm worker: Just get it over already.

Old Lady: Yeah, I don't wanna let those demons enter my house.

Construction worker: Listen to the lady, mayor!

Mayor Watson: Alright! Alright! If you want do the hard way, then we will do it. As my promise to this whole community, I will try my best to remove any mutant from this area.

Skater: Yeah dude. Do it.

Fisherman: Just do it already!

Old Lady: Yeah! Yeah!

Mayor Watson: How am I doing?

Security Advisor: You're doing fine, sir. These people are listening to your demands.

Mayor Watson: Yes, these people need me. But we need to somehow capture these mutants and deal with them.

Security Advisor: Sir, there is the MRD division that can take care of this problem.

Mayor Watson: No that won't be necessary. We don't want any clash between those soldiers and mutants fighting off in this community. Things will go worse than we expected.

Security Advisor: You may be right, sir. But how are we going to deal with these mutants?

Mayor Watson: We'll think of something.

Meanwhile.....

Qwan: Oh boy! This is a nice and cool day. Isn't it?

Henry: Yeah I know. We have been walking all day feeling hot.

Danny: I say we need a rest. 

Qwan: Do you always have to take rest?

Henry: Wouldn't Queen Elizabeth II take a rest as well?

Greg: Yo man. I really need to chill out. My legs are killing me. 

Sharon: Wait! I see someone coming.

Qwan: Huh?

Sharon: Yeah, it's a farm worker alright.

Christy: I wonder if he can help us.

Qwan: Hide, stop hiding us.

Hide: Sure.

Farm worker: Whoa there! I didn't see you folks standing here. I must have been drinking a lot these days.

Danny: Yeah me too.

Qwan (thought): Oh geez!

Farm worker: Hey! Don't you kids have parents to worry about?

Christy: Well, we do but....

Henry: Actually, we got lost and later we called our parents to find us. Yeah.

Farm worker: I see.

Christy: Yeah, our parents just told us that there will be here. So we figured that we could find them in this place.

Farm worker: Well, I guess you would be in the right place though. I hope you can find your parents.

Qwan: Thanks, mister. We'll be on our way.

Farm worker: No problem. Oh yeah I forgot.

Qwan: What is it, mister?

Farm worker: There is a riot going on in this town. 

Danny: A riot?

Farm worker: Yeah, we found that there were mutants living in this area. We were hoping to remove them.

Christy: What?

Farm worker: Yeah, these mutants are not welcome here. So the town mayor wants to get rid of them.

Sharon: You got to be kidding.

Farm worker: Nope. I was right there along the riot and they were sure angry.

Greg: How old are they? Are they young?

Farm worker: Well, some are young. Some are old. Yeah, it comes with their age difference. 

Danny: I see.

Farm worker: Yeah. What's with your friend here? He sure doesn't like sunlight to me. Is he ok?

Qwan: Oh yeah. He's fine. You know...He's an anti-social person who doesn't like to go out. So...yeah.

Farm worker: Hmmmm. Ok. I better go now. I have some work to catch up. It's nice talking to all of ya.

Danny: Nice to meet you too, mister.

Qwan: Hide, you can hide us now.

Hide: Ok.

Sharon: Qwan, we have to help these mutants.

Qwan: I know. We shouldn't let the citizens know that we're mutants too.

Danny: We need to come up with a plan.

Greg: Yo man, I hear you.

Sharon: So what's the plan, Qwan?

Qwan: Why do you always look at me? As if I'm the leader of this group.

Christy: You're the one with bright ideas. Besides, you're like Cyclops.

Qwan: Hey! Don't compare me with that guy. Ok.

Henry: What's wrong with Cyclops? Don't you like him?

Qwan: No, it's not that. I...had trouble running with him. It's...a long story.

Danny: I see. I bet Sharon knows everything.

Sharon: Yeah sure, I do. I always know everything. At least I know how to keep my mouth shut.

Danny: Whoa! Sharon. I didn't even ask you to tell me.

Qwan: Anyways, we'll need to save these mutants. One way or the other. 

Greg: Yo! How many mutants are here?

Qwan: Hmmm. That's a good question. Sharon, you have to scan them. See what you can find. 

Sharon: Ok.

Qwan: Ok guys. Once Sharon searches for those mutants, we'll think of a plan to save them.

Mayor's office....

Mayor Watson: Do we have a list?

Security Advisor: Yes sir. We have a list of these mutants. There are quite a lot though.

Mayor Watson: I see. 

Security Advisor: What are you going to do sir?

Mayor Watson: Well, I was thinking of doing something to them.

Security Advisor: You sir?

Mayor Watson: Yes me. Can't a mayor do a thing in this town by himself?

Security Advisor: Well, I....guess. But you may need backup just in case.

Mayor Watson: There's no need for that. Anyways, you may go now.

Security Advisor: Ok sir.

CREAK!

Mayor Watson: Tom! Bring me some water.

Tom: Yes sir. Here it is.

GULP! GULP! 

Mayor Watson: AHH! A nice drink to cool me off.

Tom: Sir, would you like anything else?

Mayor Watson: No that's fine. 

Tom: Ok sir.

Mayor Watson: Where do you think you're going, young man?

Tom: Sir?

Mayor Watson: Lock the door and come here.

Tom: Ok sir.

CLICK! CLUCK!

Tom: Sir, what is it?

BASH!

Tom: Ugh!

THUD!

Tom: What...did I do, sir?

Mayor Watson: You didn't do anything. Besides, I want to hit you as I would have done before.

Tom: Sir! please.

CRACK!

Tom: Ahhh!

Mayor Watson: How does it feel to be powerless? Huh? Tell me.

KICK!

Tom: Ahh!

Mayor Watson: It's a good thing that you don't have your powers. Otherwise, those humans will surely get rid of you.

Tom: Sir...please.

Mayor Watson: Do you want your powers back?

Tom: No...I...

Mayor Watson: You know why I hit you? Because I don't want you to reveal my secret to this town. I had a hunch that you might tell them. 

Tom: But sir...I didn't say anything. I...swear.

Mayor Watson: Of course you didn't!

KICK!

Tom: Ahh!

Mayor Watson: Shut your mouth and do what I say. Otherwise, your parents will never live to see you. Do you understand?

Tom: Yes...I do. I will never tell anyone.

Mayor Watson: Good. I want you to do something for me.

Tom: What is it, sir?

Mayor Watson: I want you to lure the other mutants here. It will be a surprise for them.
