The Night the Lights went out on Geno

by Bronson "Timber" Studdard


Never a dull moment when I team with Honey. She seems like she’s not one for foreplay, ‘cause I tell you as soon as we found the right warehouse, she was whippin’ her claws out and slashin’ through the powerlines. Boom! Instant blackout. Much like her name Honey Badger’s work well in the dark, I just wish she talked to me about this plan first. Timber can do many things, but night vision ain’t one of them.
 
As luck would have it, a mini red pixie joined our strange duo. She drove up on a lil’ red riceburner that would have had Prince singing songs. She was spoutin’ the LF’er call to arms, and she didn’t even own a card. Naturally, bein’ the magnanimous hosts that we are, we invited her to join our raidin’ party. Hearin’ that we were bustin’ some no good gene druggies she was down for the cause.
 
Honey shucked the first two out of the building like late season corn on the cob. It didn’t seem like Honey was in a clandestine mood so I thought it must be Clobberin’ time. I ripped the metal door off its hinges and asked the red pixie with the kick ass bike to burn rubber into the warehouse to provide some much-needed light on the subject. Sprite obliged and soon we were battering baddies quick fast and in a hurry.
 
People are amazed when I “Bark Up,” but this guy in the warehouse went all furry and transformed into a bear. He wasn’t ready for my metal door shield, and I swatted him back into hibernation. Meanwhile Honey was upstairs taking care of business herself. Sprite was maneuvering her bike like it was a slalom event and wreaking havoc. Between the agents and the henchmen, we made quick work of the drug den. The main problem was Doctor Druggie got away. Sprite tried to chase him down, but instead scared some lady half to death.
 
We reconvened and took any evidence we thought could give us our next lead back to headquarters. Since Scarlett Sprite was down for the cause we thought she’d appreciate an invite. Next time we go on patrol though Honey and I might need a strategy session before proceeding to bust heads. We might’ve caught the Doc if we’d been a bit more methodical.
