This is the sixth and final chapter of my Decide Your Quest story, The Mystery of the Missing Amulet. In the last story,you go to Wombat Joe’s Grizzly Bear Emporium and find Midnight Gillespie, who has the amulet. He throws it into the bear pit and you jump in and grab it. You dodge them with your ballet knowledge and Brittany knocks them out with bear-jitsu. Midnight Gillespie takes off in a helicopter. Last week the readers voted for you to shake your fist in impotent rage.
The Mystery of the Missing Amulet, Chapter 6: Everything Wrapped Up
You shake your fist in impotent rage at the retreating helicopter. Probably best since there was nothing appropriate to throw at him.
“He’s getting away!” Brittany yells. “Why didn’t you throw the baby grizzly at him?” You’re rather shocked she would even think of such a thing.
“You know, I’m not sure why I’m doing this all on my own,” you say. “I’m going to call back to headquarters.”
You call back to police headquarters and get roundly yelled at by the lieutenant for not reporting in earlier. However, he grudgingly accept your story about the theft and promise to send a police helicopter out to find Midnight Gillespie.
You go back to the police station with Brittany to make out your report, although you neglect to mention that Brittany had been attempting to steal the amulet all along.
The next day you find out that Midnight Gillespie has been arrested. He had gotten away in a local TV news helicopter after he promised to give them an exclusive on who stole the amulet, effectively confessing to the crime and giving himself up.
Your lieutenant describes him as “an incredibly dim individual and the worst criminal I have ever seen.” He goes on to add that “only a series of freakish events and a colossal amount of incompetence on the part of the guard and auction house staff could result in Midnight Gillespie successfully committing any crime.” Apparently the bear hair and his name tag left at the scene were accidental.
However, then he commends you for regaining the amulet and your suicidal bravery in leaping into the bear pit. For some reason, he likes it when you do suicidal things.
“You’re one special officer, sonny boy,” he says in an avuncular way. “I’m promoting you back to the rank of Rookie, from the special rank of Sub-Rookie we had to demote you to after that . . . unpleasantness last year with the mayor and the K-9 unit.”
“Thank you,” you say, saluting. There is no medal, but he does let you take the special Sub-Rookie badge of shame off your uniform.
Brittany is waiting outside for you. “Well, hot stuff. I guess we made it. It’s almost dinner time. Can I take you out on a date?”
Hmm, she is pretty hot, but on the other hand, she’s got some pretty big issues. Big, scary, exciting issues.

she will be quite a perfect partner for him I think-the only problem is they both may die within a week of pairing up

she does like danger, although she also seems pretty lucky. It’s up to your vote. 🙂

go out with her… I don’t think he will be able to resist that temptation 🙂

Haha — as of right now, an equal number want to both tell her “no,” and propose!
Although, I guess the majority vote of “go out with” makes the most sense — dangerous and crazy might fun in the short term, but you really don’t want to marry it!

I’m always surprised/amused what people choose with these. As for myself, I might date her, but I sure wouldn’t marry someone addicted to danger.

[…] and an employee there, Midnight Gillespie. You retrieve the amulet and Gillespie is arrested. Last week, the viewers voted to ask Brittany out because although she’s addicted to danger, at least […]
