Chapter 2: An Inspector Calls

The Detulux team are shocked when the latest INTERPOL agent assigned to their case, Inspector Jacques Russo, puts two-and-two together and realises that Detulux Incorporated the legitimate domestics supplier might have something to do with Detulux Incorporated the illegal arms trading firm.

There's a mad scramble as Inspector Russo makes a surprise visit to Detulux HQ. Will Russo find evidence of a link and arrest the team? Is Pain really dressing as Doc Holliday and putting on a terrible Southern drawl as a disguise? What does Pain's (very expensive) solicitor have to say about all this?

As alluded to in the tagline, I was called back to draw for Detulux for the briefest moment. I've not used a tablet screen to draw on much before, which just helped the quality of the doodle.

Title - 108: "An Inspector Calls"
Subtitle - xix. "Warehouse Roulette"

(In the maintenance corridors under the Detulux compound, boxes line the walls as henchmen attempt to weave around each other while moving crates. The Captain is stood on a crate, holding a clipboard and barking orders while obviously not having a damn clue what's going on.)

Captain: Stick those boxes in warehouse 7! Er, actually, maybe warehouse 3.
Ben: I thought 3 was on the list?
Captain: Oh shit yeah! Not warehouse 3, guys! Warehouse 4!

(Two henchmen are at the lift up to warehouse 4. The lift is completely rammed with boxes, which they are attempting to prevent spilling back out into the corridor.)

Henchman 1: 4 is packed out! Good luck getting anything else in there!

(The Captain scratches his head.)

Captain: Er, warehouse 14?
Henchman 2: That's the one the Boss keeps locked?
Henchman 3: Why's it locked?
Henchman 4: Septic tank. We keep the septic tank in there.
Captain: Warehouse 17!
Henchman 3: I think he's just calling out random numbers.
Henchman 4: He is, I've just seen his clipboard. He's drawn a doodle of the Boss being angry on it.

(On the paper on the clipboard we see the Captain has drawn a crude doodle of Mr. Pain being ferociously angry. He has bloodshot eyes and is ranting and raving.)

Doodle: BLAGH BLARGH DAMMIT CAPTAIN BRING ME WHISKEY!!!

(Henchman 3 facepalms while the Captain shrugs, completely lost.)

Henchman 3: Well at least it's reassuring to know that our freedom hinges on the Captain playing warehouse fucking roulette!
Captain: Er, put it all on red!

Episode tagline: It frustrates me that the Captain has as much artistic talent as the original Detulux artist.
