The Mystery of Mamo1978

[Detective Zenigata and his Police Commissioner are eating in a Japanese restaurant in Colombia, Zenigata is rapidly eating a bowl of rice]

Commissioner:
Slow down, Zenigata! [Zenigata stops eating, surprised] You'll give yourself indigestion! Have a pickled radish.

Detective Zenigata:
I have no objection to nouvelle cuisine, but I would have enjoyed a big T-bone…

Commissioner:
I thought this resturant'd be a treat! Way out of your league! It's very expensive, and on your pathetic expenses…

Detective Zenigata:
[upset] Yeah, I know! [chomps on a radish, crying] God, I'm really grateful, but I'm hungry as well! I appreciate… everything… that you're doing… but Wolf got away! [breaks down in tears]

Commissioner:
[hands him a handkerchief] Stop that.

Detective Zenigata:
[blows his nose] I mean, I don't deserve pickled radishes, peas and arsenic, or ants on a bed of cornflowers! I'll find him though, Commissioner!

Commissioner:
Since you mentioned it…

Detective Zenigata:
I'll get that creep!

Commissioner:
Oh no, you won't.

Detective Zenigata:
Huh?

Commissioner:
Zenigata, the reason I brought you to this Japanese restaurant, Colombia, was to tell you that the Wolf File is closed. I’ve been warned off by an important person in person. This case now has international, and quite possibly, interplanetary ramifications. I hope I make myself clear.

Detective Zenigata:
I don’t get it. This case is all I live for!

Commissioner:
Come on, there are other hobbies for an experienced cop like you. But, we decided you… [hands a small document with Zenigata’s name on it] earned yourself a little bonus for dedication to duty. [chuckles] You’ve been away from home a long while, and I was told – your wife’s suing for divorce. So I’m here to take you back home.

Detective Zenigata:
But Commissioner, no one can catch Wolf, except me!

Commissioner:
Sure. I know how you feel, son…

Detective Zenigata:
[shouting] I refuse to give up!

Commissioner:
Don’t you yell at me! That was an order!

[Detective Zenigata angrily growls, and tears up the bonus. He kicks away the table he and the Commissioner are eating at]

Detective Zenigata:
I resign as of now! I don’t need a badge to go after that creep! [he storms out of the restaurant to the surprise of the customers, laughing manically]

Commissioner:
You’ll never drive your squad car again!

[Detective Zenigata stands on the outskirts of the city as the sun sets]

Detective Zenigata:
[narrating] My sixth sense is screaming at me that Wolf's hiding, here in South America...
