====== Episode 17: The Search for Ann Alprobe ======
by: Gurbir

When we last left our hero, Hiscock was scared stiff following a
revelation that Ann Alprobe was kidnapped for some secret conspiracy group.
Determined to gain control of his life again, Hiscock goes to the phone..he
dials...1-976-..he hangs up, and dials the correct number.  It is the number of
his two friends Gerald Fitzpatrick, and Patrick Fitzgerald.

GF :  Ola.

HHH :  Gerald?

GF :  Si..I mean yes.  How are ya Harry, ya old sod?

HHH :  What was the latino accent I heard.

GF :  Ah..we're going under the covers, ya know.

HHH :  Yeah..listen.  I need you to run a check on a license plate.  It's UB6 IB9.
That used to be my old number.  I need to know who owns that car now.

GF:  I'll call you back.

HHH hangs up, and decided to nap.  He has strange dreams in which he is wearing
a 'Hannibal Lecter' mask, and being thrown off a 16 foot high steel cage...  The
phone wakes him up.

HHH :  Talk to Hiscock.

PF :  Harry.  Pat.  Your car was bought by LowBlow
Shipping.  Owner's name is John Blow.  They have a warehouse out on Douche Ave,.

HHH :  Where's that?

PF :  Down by the docks.

HHH :  Great.  Say..why don't
you guys come out to LA.  I could really use some help.

PF:  Maybe we will
boyo, after this case is wrapped up.

HHH :  Later.

HHH hails a cab, and goes to the warehouse.  He finds a door, and enters.  The
warehouse is stacked high with boxes.  In the center of the warehouse, there is
someone sitting on a chair.  Hiscock can't see who it is.

HHH :  Who are you?  No answer.

HHH :  What do you want with me?  Again,
silence.  HHH starts to walk forward.  As he gets closer, he sees that it is Ann
Alprobe.  She is tied to a chair.  She is gagged.  There is note on her.  It
reads "There is a bomb in the building.".  Hiscock grabs Ann, and starts to...

BOOM!!!
