I closed the cell door behind him. The handcuffs were gone again, of course, but we'd long since run out of real pairs and zip ties we had on us, and didn't particularly feel like exhausting the storage room's supplies. Davis started giving him the talk about getting a phone call and all and the perp suddenly says "Look" with the kind of loud voice you can hear in your teeth.

He pulls out a locket from under his shirt (didn't Davis already search him? Why am I surprised...) and holds it up to the bars. "Look here, and listen."

I step forward and look at the odd object. It looks uncomfortable to wear against your skin, but I was never much one for jewelry anyway. No one was much surprised the tomboy became a cop, after all.

It's a crystal shape, like two pyramids attached together. It's a sort of shimmering black color with a tinge of red around the edges. But in the middle...

I look closer. There's a circle, beige, with wispy lines of white and orange mixed through it, like a badly mixed coffee with way too much milk. I momentarily get the feeling like I'm looking down from a great height.

I shake my head. Davis is asking what it is. The suspect shakes his head and puts it back under his shirt. "Just tell your boss this: Where is Venus?"

Weird little creep.

You go back to your work, trying and mostly failing to explain how that arrest went. You're pretty sure an official support shouldn't use the phrase "somehow" and "apparently" that many times. You're certainly going to have to explain this one, no way is this going to be accepted without further review.

Your near-antique desk phone rings. It's the chief. "I just got off a very stern phone call. I need you to let out the prisoner in cell 13 immediately. Don't worry about procedure, I'm sending this as an order in writing, just give them any shit you confiscated and show them the door. And I mean immediately. I'm coming down there now to sign the release papers that were just faxed to me, I want them out of the building in less than 5 minutes. Is that understood?"

You gulp. "yes sir. I'm on the way over now."

You're not even surprised when you unlock the cell that the fucker is in there playing on his phone. You personally confiscated that, you're sure. Maybe the geek had a couple phones, and hid one of them? You did a pretty comprehensive pat-down... Ew.

Davis walks up with the goods bag, but he's got his usual confused look twice as bad at the moment. Before he can even say the problem, you can see it from what he's holding. Or rather, what he's not. The transparent bag is empty, the seal is still in place.

Before you can even explain that you've somehow lost his stuff, the perp is standing up and telling you not to worry about their stuff. The Chief is still on the way and he's supposed to be here for this, but from that phone call it sounded like he didn't want any delays. You turn the key in the lock, and the mechanism engages, automatically sliding the door open.

Your oddest arrest of your career (and there has been some competition!) walks out the door, tugs at his shirt, and says a quick dismissive thanks, before heading down the hall towards a glowing exit sign.

The Chief finally shows up as he's walking away, and is visibly out of breath. You hand him the clipboard with the papers to sign, and he wheeze out a thanks, after a coughing fit that leaves him buckled over and giving you the most marvelous view of his shiny, shiny bald spot.

"so who was it who called to spring that jerk, if you don't mind me asking?"

"it was a conference call. That was the director of NASA and the President"

"of... NASA?"

"no, of the country."

"oh, my. Can he order the release of a prisoner?"

"I mentioned exactly that while I was on the phone, and I'm not sure of his exact wording but it was something like 'shut up, do it now, or there'll be a Black Hawk dropping a squad of marines in your parking lot in 15 minutes, and they'll do it for you.'"

"Jesus!"

"so I said 'yes sir, will do'. He said the DOJ will figure out the justification later."

"This isn't over, is it? We're gonna be doing paperwork and lawsuits over that little fu... freak for a while, aren't we?"

"probably. But get this: The president himself told me not to mention this to anyone, but since you were there I think you should know. Besides, I haven't signed anything yet... Remember how the director of NASA was on the line too?"

"yeah, that was odd. What's this guy, some renegade astronaut who's late for his flight or something?"

"no idea. But apparently his magician talents don't end with pulling rabbits from hats and escaping from your handcuffs. They think he somehow palmed the planet Venus."

You blink slowly. "what"

"yeah. Whole damn planet is gone. NASA is not happy. The military is very worried."

"about Venus?"

"No, more about what else he can do, I imagine. If he can grab a planet out of the sky, what could else can he do? Borrow a tank? Steal a nuke? Drop the moon on DC?"

"I see their point."

Your walk-and-talk comes to its end as you arrive back at your office. You look at the big windows, and you can see the strange man still crossing the parking lot. He pauses by a squad car, then looks back at the window, before giving you a big thumbs up.

The Chief has to stop you from running after him, as he opens the door to your car and drives off. "Don't. We'll figure this out, I'll get you another vehicle. I am not getting an angry call from the dang president TWICE in one day."

You're never going to finish the paperwork from today, you can feel it in your bones.

Diagnosis

A 100% serious,short King Of The Hill fanfic about Dale Gribble

Set in a world where autism evaluations are easy and less lengthy for writers convenience.

There is no nsfw under the cut,simply didn't want to make my post incredibly lengthy for people who are scrolling past.

Any jabs or insults to certain politicians are not meant to be political in any way shape or form,I talked to my great aunt and used the first politician she brought up.

Any criticism on my writing is accepted as I'm hoping to get more into writing fanfic. Any criticism on the story itself or the characters is not allowed.

It was a hot day in Arlen and Dale,Hank,Bill and Boomhaur were standing in the alley as usual.

“-and then,I'm going to hitchhike to Canada and expose the whole operation! Blow it all up right in their faces!” Dale shouted excitedly.

Hank groaned loudly,he hated hearing about Dale's terrible plans, especially when Nancy was away like this,that meant he was going to have to bail Dale out...and usually have to bail out Boomhaur and Bill when they undoubtedly got dragged into Dale's problems “Dale,you cannot go to Canada”

“and why not? Are you in cahoots with them?” Dale turned to Hank quickly.

“I am not in cahoots with whoever 'them' is,you've known me thirty years,I would've told you”

“well then why can't I go?” Dale huffed loudly and left,a few seconds later,he returned, grabbing another beer out of the cooler and stomping off again, shouting “I'm going! And return with the body of their leader!!”

Hank shook his head “how're we gonna keep him from getting into Canada?”

Boomhaur piped up,looking over “Dang ol' talking 'bout the news,man,they talking about immigration,dang ol' autism,Canada won't let 'em in”

“Boomhauer...I don't understand half of anything you say,but,I think I get the jist...maybe we can get Dale a diagnosis and then they won't let him in”

A few days later and Dale and Hank were sitting in their office,Dale excitedly talking about meeting the guy who caught Bigfoot,Hank busy worrying about how Dale was gonna try and escape when he realized he was here for an evaluation. Soon enough,the doctor called his name and Dale and Hank got up,they went into a back room and Hank quickly shut the door as Dale realized this was a doctors office.

“no! No! I am not going to sit here with a doctor! They'll just steal my urine! Or my hair! Well..what's left of it!”

Hank sighed,shoving Dale down on the couch “no,no,no,sit,they're not going to take anything. They'll just ask questions, alright?”

Dale reluctantly allowed himself to be shoved onto the uncomfortable couch “alright,alright…fine,I'll answer this guy's questions…but if I think he's a spy,I'm taking him down…shi-shi-sha!” Dale grinned a little,doing a karate chop in the air to punctate his sentence.

“Dale,you are not attacking the doctor.” Hank groaned,reaching over to smack his hand out of the air “attack him and you'll lose your hat.” Dale nodded quickly,reaching up to keep his hands over his hat tightly as the doctor walked in.

“Hi there,boys,I'm Dr.didntwannathinkofaname,good to see you two today. Now,Hank,you've sent in a large…uh,fax of some.. interesting stories about Mr.Gribble here.”

Dale immediately looked over at Hank,horrified “you told him things about me?! What if he's with the government?!”

Hank sighed “I'm sorry about him,Dr.didntwannathinkofaname,he's uh…very into conspiracy theories.”

“yes…I can see that…has this been a lifelong interest of yours,Dale?” Hank and Dale both nod a little. “Alright,thank you..if you two don't mind,I'd like to talk to you both separately. Dale,I'm gonna have you go with my assistant to take a few tests to see how you do. Just some facial recognition tests,memory tests. We just need to see how you play,behave and communicate with your peers.” Dale nods a little and gets up,leaving with the doctor's assistant.

Hank's POV

“Dale's always been…special. When we were kids,he didn't talk until he was about six…he just growled at everyone.” Hank rubbed the back of his neck,chuckling awkwardly “Then there's the fact he's never been good with people. He never really got invited to play with us in first grade,he just sorta…started playing with us,not that we minded,but,after he started being friends with us,he would just run away from other kids.”

The doctor took notes as Hank spoke “and..who is 'we'?”

“Bill,Boomhauer and I. We've all been friends since first grade. We all still talk. Hyup,every evening in the alley,have a drink,unwind. Heh,we used to spend about a half hour before the streetlights came on,sitting on the sidewalk by my house and have some rootbeer” Hank nodded,smiling softly at the memory of when they'd all become friends.

“You four have had the same friend group for…nearly thirty years? And you have a very…similar schedule to when you were kids? That's…very interesting. Mr.Hill,how do you think you and Dale would react if you weren't in the alley in the evening”

“Well,it just throws our whole schedule off. Dale can hardly do anything until the next time we're all in the alley,his brain just turns to mush..and,well,I'd be lying if I said it doesn't mess with my mind too” Hank nodded a little.

“I see..” the doctor kept writing as Hank spoke. He asked a few more questions,listening to Hank ramble on about Dale as a kid and of course,after those stories,Hank talked to the doctor about propane.

Dales POV

The assistant led Dale into a room connected to the doctors office and pulled out a book with pictures in it,some book about frogs and…some games,by the looks of them.

“Alright,Dale. I'm going to have you identify some facial expressions,then you'll read a book to me,we'll do a memory test and then I'd like to know about some of your interests and hobbies that sound good to you?” the assistant looked at him,smiling softly.

“No…but,Hank said he'd take me to get ice cream if I was well behaved…so,let's do this,I guess” Dale nodded,sitting up a little.

“Great,alright,can you…tell me what this woman is feeling,Dale?” she asked,opening the book of photos.

Dale stared at the woman intently,studying her face “she's not feeling anything,she's obviously a robot,duh. You can see where her fake skin stops,right there under her tank top strap, probably didn't put any 'skin' under her clothes to save the government a few pennies”

“Alright then,enough of the facial recognition test for now. Why don't you read me this book and then tell me about it?” The assistant handed Dale a book about flying frogs,which,of course,sent Dale on a rant about alien frogs and all the politicians they're controlling. The assistant nodded,writing everything down as Dale spoke. “Alright,that's very interesting,Dale,I'll make sure to fact check Mitch McConnell the next time he talks. I'm gonna have you do a math sheet for me,please show your work,it's very important.” Dale nodded and filled out the sheet,breaking the numbers down to add them.

“Alright,I'm finished..” Dale nodded,handing the math sheet back “is that memory test next?” The assistant nodded,setting the test up and having Dale go through it.

“I'm very impressed with your memory,Dale,you have a very good memory” The assistant smiled and took some notes. “Okay,I'm gonna send you back to the doctor and he'll give you the diagnosis. Dale nodded and went back into the room with Hank and the doctor. The doctor went over everything.

“alright,Dale,Hank,here's a packet of both of your diagnoses'” the doctor nodded a little.

Hank took the packets “mine..too?”

“Well,I can't give any official opinion on you,but,it is my recommendation that you come back for an evaluation of your own,Mr.Hill.”

“Haha,your plan backfired,Hank” Dale grinned,looking at him.

“Hwell,not really,Dale,this isn't an official diagnosis,yours is. You can't go to canada” Hank grinned as Dale's face fell,realizing Hank was right.

“you traitor. You're temporarily suspended from being my emergency contact.” Dale mumbled as he got up and left with Hank.

Paramore donating to save the children is great but like.... Bare minimum. They didn't mention Palestine ONCE so we can't really say it's for them. Also, raising awareness is extremely important rn, so them making a liquidation sale saying "yeah we'll donate to someone" is kinda lame? Idk.

I've seen some Palestinians say donating money is a nice gesture but sometimes(not always!!) useless, as the trucks with supplies (water, food, medicine) are getting bombed, they have nothing to buy in their markets bc there's no supplies to be sold, etc. I always see them saying raising awareness and amplifying their voices is important, tho.

Donating is great, but the situation demands soooooo much more, speaking directly about what's going on, and idk, maybe asking fans to spam call and spam email their representatives?. I've seen somewhere that faxing was a good option too.

Also, it's not like they're donating a massive amount of money out of their pockets, it's old merch no one was buying, so idk, I'm very disappointed (not surprised tho) if this is the only way they'll "address" what's going on.

this is exactly why i don't want to praise it and why i'm simply ignoring them. glad you said what you said about the liquidation sale cause that's how i felt and it all didn't sit right with me.

but yeah. i don't have anything to add cause you rlly explained it all. i don't wanna go on too much about it since people are tired and also it just brings in the most annoying anons possible, but this is how i feel too and it's just all whatever atp. it pissed me off all over again but oh well.

My son has an aura about him and he has a sense of humor it's our son and he showed it today and the people were kind of upset just saying he's calling out what's going on and who's doing who and he's making jokes and he's making us afraid and we have to kind of go away from him and that's what he was he's doing it every day and that's what he wants and we're doing what he wants kind of or provoke him and we're not his friends and he's telling us over and over. Sherry say it on the radio we're doing a great job to get rid of ourselves and he's saying it he says maybe that's all you can muster your poor people and she looks down and says it's probably true since I don't have anything either but it's because of these people and you guys. And she got really mad she said this his people have tons of stuff and he has nothing it's not the job I heard him you going to hurt yourself and then she said you're probably right but these people have to shut the f****** you know what's going to happen and it makes sense and we know how to get there it's actually going to be a little bit better but this is horrible and it's a nightmare she went on to say it's probably the right way I don't just and die off and you've been it says people putting our fax on ships artifacts it's not the greatest you put Mac money on there and they'll try and breach but we still have some protection so she laughs and says I get that and told Stan and he says it's good the way it is no so they're going to start doing that.

So she went on and on but she finally said this he's a little boy and we're picking on him he's kind of mean and he has a big team who's meaner and we won't pay attention at all it's cuz he's idiots she's looking right at God so the guy's stupid so these people and it's Trump and he's stupid but the Dickinson and that's who it is so they start going after Trump and it is him d****** with him and he's a huge a****** why say is we have to get rid of that s*** he's a piece of crap I don't want him around her son ever again I've had enough of his crap he's a huge f****** dick he made things squeal and her son just rode around and didn't care people didn't care cuz they knew he was doing it now they found out and they're going after him that's how it goes everyday every single day there's this one twerp that we have to get rid of trump

Matter of fact we're getting attentive agreement faxed over. And for each company we're reading it inside it and faxing it back. It's good enough it's 90%. So we're going to start sending stuff and both of us do it and it's this huge Force around it and it's going to draw them and they're going to get nailed and it's all over the world and it's way more than they can handle and they suck it's going to be over for now and the movies will start the mob movies my son says he wants the sausage up this is why I said because I want all the idiots in the city and the idiot will threaten the other idiot and that's what the idiot wants he goes which idiot now that would be Jason would be threatening Trump in the hate each other and it's probably why Lily shoots him in the head that's probably why and all those nincompoops will go in the city and their cover and it's absurd they're going to message each other up and if it Tommy F doesn't care he says no not really he will afterwards but he doesn't care now so mac gets it and it's on, it's a great idea and yeah it's my idea and I talked to him and her about it and it was Freya her idea too

It's very forceful it's very potent and powerful and hasn't happens in a certain time and this is the time and I knew about that and I started laughing he goes wow this is awesome and I said laughed again and he said finally I got one in there that was me saying it

Thor Freya
