Skully became a hero in town

Taking many bad guys down

He was equipped with a gun

And a car, so he didn’t have to run

He was a law enforcer of high order

It is only 2 weeks after the punk’s murder

Two weeks since he saved that kid

And brought him out of the lid

Skull-Kid was watching over the lock up

Sipping coffee in his cup

A week ago, a murder series came in

They had been trying to trace the kingpin

But couldn’t nail him so easily

The murders committed so perfectly

Skully’s higher official walked in

And said “Skull-Kid! Where have you been?

I came to tell you that we have a clue

As to the murderer being, who”

Skully started acting weird

And started stroking his beard

A beard? He didn’t have one!

“Skully, what are you doing son?”

“Oh! Um, I’m thinking about the case!

If only we could see the killer’s face!”

“Well, we all want to do so”

Said the officer, in a voice quite low

“No one knows who is the man

To catch him, we need a plan

All we know is that there were no

Fresh murders to show

The killer looks to be inactive

This is when we need to take him captive”

Soon, a messenger came in with information

“We don’t know the killer’s intention

But found out his whereabouts”

After looking at it Skully had no doubts

That it was his own abandoned house

His senses started to rouse

He quickly gave the paper back

If they suspected him, things would be black

He was at police headquarters

He had no where to run from officers

So he quickly told the head officer

“I know about the man’s whereabouts, Sir

I could lead you to the place

And we shall see him face to face,

If you we could go there immediately

We could end this man and his brutality”

The head said “Very well then!

We shall go at once men!”

Skully said “Wait! You mean to say,

That all of us are going that way?

It would be foolish in my mind

To think that the killer is blind!

We must go few in number,

Some 4 of us and…1 more member

So that the killer wouldn’t notice

The incoming number of police

Else he will notice and run away

That’s not what we want, may I say?”

The officer thought and said

“We want that man alive or dead

Hence lets take caution and go

We shall keep our number low”

So 5 of them hurried to the suspected house

They stepped in slowly, and saw a mouse

Which scurried it’s own way

“Now we split up and go different a way”

5 of them split up, and soon the head heard

A first gunshot, a second, then a third

Perplexed, he called for the rest of them

But none of them responded to him

Sweating in the dim light

He was ready for a fight

After walking through corridors,

He reached two doors

He opened them, just to see

The bodies of the police, but only three

They had all been shot and hid here

But Skully’s body was no where near

He heard Skully’s voice and the shot of a gun

“Sir he’s up here and has a gun!

The head ran up a floor, to see Skully standing

He panted out “Where is he? Where is he?”

Skully said “In front of you if you can see”

Stunned, the head yelled “You?”

“Then in addition to the murders, you shot my men too!”

Skully laughed “The murder victims in the report

Were my victims before I joined you guys as a last resort

I could have been a good crime fighter

But you were going to find out about me sooner or later

I knew you wouldn’t give me a chance

So I took this as my stance

So I needed to escape, and run away

I brought you here, and a nice game we did play

Now, in the showdown, You lose, I win

Hence, I will commit my next sin”

Saying so, Skully shot the head’s head

And watched him fall back, dead

“I am not Skully, the law enforcer

I am Skull-Kid the mad murderer!”
