Episode 2: Revenge is Best Served from Inside a Hard, Pointy Exoskeleton

In our last episode, Squatch was attacked by a mysterious scorpion and left for dead.

Luckily, he was found and rushed to the ER by his partner, SODA!


This week, Squatch and Soda are at the precinct, reviewing mug shots of potential perps.




Soda slides a photo across to Squatch.

"Is this the guy who got you?" Soda seems agitated. "This guy is no joke - it's Jimmie "The Claw!"




Jimmie The Claw had killed Soda's last partner. True, it was because he was underfoot when his partner stepped on him and fell over a railing in surprise. But still.


S&S hastily leave the precinct and head for their unmarked police car, which was blatantly parked in the "police only" section of the parking lot.



"Come on, Squatch!" Soda exclaims. Hurry it up!"







Squatch didn't tell Soda that the medicine he had been prescribed for the scorpion sting was seriously tripping him out. During the stakeout of The Claw's hideout, Squatchy was just idly staring into space with a goofy look on his face.

Suddenly, a break - Soda sees a scorpion tail disappearing around a corner and runs into the hideout, while Squatchy laughs at the knock knock jokes he is telling himself.



When Squatchy realizes that Soda is gone, he runs into the hideout to find him. But he's too late!





"Stay back, pig!" The Claw is holding Soda hostage. "Don't make me perforate your partner here!"




Squatchy watches helplessly as The Claw backs out of the hideout.















"Remember the importance of clean water while I'm gone, Squatch!" Soda exclaims as he is loaded into a waiting car. "Clean water!!!"



Squatch watches helplessly as his partner, who saved his life only hours before, speeds off to certain doom.

Not even the "interrupting cow" knock knock joke makes him feel better.



What will happen now? Can Soda be saved? Will Squatch ever recover? Tune in next week!
