EPISODE 25 – “It’s A Sinister Life”

It is night-time in the small sleepy town of Dreadford Falls as thick heavy snow covers the ground in a freezing slippery white blanket of ice.

As the wind sends swirls of snow back into the air, a black limousine skids around the corner of a narrow road and thuds into a tree. A darkly-dressed tall man wearing an eyepatch staggers from the car and tries to slam the door shut. Ignoring the protestations of the owner of the damaged tree, the man runs out into the street and heads toward an old iron bridge spanning the cold rough river below…

The man grasps the railing, apparently intent on throwing himself into the freezing water…when, to his astonishment, a second man runs from behind and falls from the bridge instead with an almighty splash.

Man: Help! Help!

Doctor Sinister: No way, I’m not fishing you out. You jumped in there, you stay.

But…<cough>…but…<splutter>…I only jumped in to stop you from jumping, now you’re meant to save me! That’s how this whole thing works…

Me? Jump into the river? Don’t be daft. That water looks mighty cold, even from way up here. I was just admiring the view…you can sort yourself out…bye.

(Doctor Sinister walks off, in the opposite direction, but the mysterious figure appears behind him in the road, as dry as a bone and hurries to catch up)

Well, at least I know I got the right guy – no-one else in the world would have left me to drown but you.

(Slightly taken aback at his sudden re-appearance, he slows, but continues walking through the snow) Yeah? What of it? Who are you anyway?

Why, I’m the answer to your prayers Doc’, that’s why I was sent here.

How do you know my name?

Ooh, I know everything about you, I’ve watched you grow up since you were a little clone.

What are you? A mind reader?

No, I’m Menace Oddbody, DS2.

Menace? Oddbody? Any relation to…nah, that can’t be right. And DS2? What’s that?

Devil, Second Class. (Flashing his collar to Doctor Sinister) See? Just got pinned.

Oh great, just what I need, some kind of crackpot guardian angel…
