PAY THE
HUMAN FOR HIS PITIFUL
COMMUNICATION
DEVICE.
WHAT
WAS THAT ALL
ABOUT?
GET USED
TO IT, ROOKIE.
BEING A COP IN
CHICAGO ISN’T
WHAT IT USED
TO BE.
BUT...SIR, I DON’T
THINK THAT’S ENOUGH
TO COVER MY PHONE.
IT WAS BRAND-NEW,
AND ON A PAYMENT
PLAN...
SO WHO’S
GOING TO PAY
FOR THE
REST?
SEND THE
BILL TO THE TOPMAN,
CARE OF STARPORT
CHICAGO.
OK. WHICH ONE
OF YOU DOUCHEBAGS
KILLED DETECTIVE
BAKER AND STOLE
HIS GUN?

I MEAN, I’M
BAKER. I DIDN’T
KILL ANYONE!
SO HOW COME YOU’RE
COVERED WITH
BLOOD?
HUH. THAT’S
WHAT THEY
ALL SAY.
IT’S
FRUIT
JUICE.
THEY RAN
A MAKE ON YOUR
GUN. IMAGINE THE
HORROR WHEN IT
TURNED OUT TO BE
ONE OF OURS...
YO, LIVINGSTONE,
BETTER UNLOCK MY
PARTNER, HERE. LET’S
SEE IF MAYBE I CAN
KEEP HIM OUT OF
TROUBLE.
MMMM-
HMMM.
HERE WE ARE,
SKIP, AT CHICAGO’S
FINEST, DISTRICT 19,
AKA THE ZOO, AKA
THE UNIVERSE’S
CRAP HOLE.

WELCOME TO THE
ZOO, SON.
AND MY
SYMPATHIES
ON YOUR
PARTNER.

AND ANOTHER
BATHROOM...YOU

SO,
JUST HOW
SEXY AM
I?

AS SEXY AS
SOMETHING I’D
FLUSH DOWN
THE TOILET.
I CAN’T
BELIEVE SHE’S
SENDING YOU
BACK IN.
YEAH, WELL,
SHE HAS TO. I
HAVEN’T LEARNED
ALL THE WORDS TO
“EARTHLAND UBER
ALLES” YET.
I WANT
YOU TO WEAR
A WIRE.
LOVE TO!
DARLING IDEA,
REALLY. SO KIND
OF YOU TO
SUGGEST IT.
THE THING IS,
THERE’S THIS HOT
LITTLE EARTHBLOOD
NUMBER WHO CAN’T
KEEP HER HANDS
OFF ME.
SO IMAGINE,
THERE WE ARE
PETTING IN THE BUNKER,
AND SHE SLIDES HER
HAND UNDER MY SHIRT,
AND...OH MY
GOODNESS...
SURPRISE!
IT’S. A.
WIRE!
ONLY YOU
WOULD HAVE THAT
KIND OF PROBLEM,
AARON.
YEAH,
WELL...
...I KNEW THE
JOB WAS DANGEROUS
WHEN I TOOK IT. DON’T
BE JEALOUS, RICHY.
IT LOOKS BAD
ON YOU.
HEY, NICE LOOK, MORELLO.
YOU UNDERCOVER AS A
COUCH POTATO, OR DID
YOU JUST FORGET
YOUR SHIRT?
I’VE HAD
THAT URGE MYSELF,
FROM TIME
TO TIME.
THAT’S “EAT

THESE ARE
OUR NEIGHBORS,
OFFICERS JI-HUN PARK
AND LOUIS MORELLO,
UNDERCOVER CHICAGO
FASHION ICONS.
AN ALIEN...
UHH...HEH...THREW UP ON HIM.
EAT IT,
STAMM!
THAT’S MY
DESK
