A hostage situation with a mad gunman.
The negotiator finally gets the chance to speak with the suspect.
” look man, I’m cooked.
This is done for me.
I’m done.
But I need something from you”
The negotiator listens, and answers softly
“what do you need?”
I need you to take care of my cat. I’m aware that there is no reason that you should give a fuck about my cat, But I need you to take him.
” I give you my word”
Then you hear a gunshot on the other side of the door and a woman scream, The camera pans in slow motion, the door swinging,, And there’s the purp.
Brains blown out in a pile behind him.
Woman is crumpled in a ball crying, destroyed from the catastrophic stress..
Then the negotiator looks up, and he sees an orange cat, wandering into the room,eyes wide.
Skip ahead 5 years.
The negotiator sits reading a file, and the camera pans over to the cat.
Muh fuckin Garfield.
Detective cat.
The dying wish of an insane man.
Keeps his word, I do like that, I like that the fictional character keeps his word because it means everything to him.
