Down in Edens, Oklahoma, Detective Richard Bates set out to capture his worst enemy; Geoff Wildes, senior manager and co-owner of Dusty's Mattress Warehouse, who has made a living out of buying urn-down businesses to remodel into imitation mattress stores. Although not yet proven true, Bates just knew that there was no way there was a high enough demand to call for four mattress stores in one strip mall. With only his G-Wagon and a Shane Dawson conspiracy video, Bates went off to expose the biggest scandal the city of Edens would ever see.
Great motivation brought Bates to head off to capture Wildes, and even greater hunger brought him to his local Starbucks. As he stood in line to wait for his protein box and Pinkity Drinkity, a familiar face stood behind the bar. He couldn't quite place where she was from, but the familiar smell of powdered feathers and metal springs brought him to the conclusion that this was not her only job. As she placed his drink on the counter, the detective saw his opportunity.
He grabbed the barista's arm and said, "Grab the drink. We have things to take care of." In a single tug, Bates pulled the barista over the counter and rushed her to his car.
Confused and lost, the barista knocked over the Pinkity Drinkity all over the car.
"Oh no," cried Bates. "You spilt tea in the G!"
"Where are we going?" screamed the barista.
"Hush up! You're going to lead me to Wildes, and fast. He can't find out I'm on to him," said Bates. She smirked out the window and stayed silent.
"What is it?" asked Bates. She let out a small laugh before answering him.
"They already know," she mumbled.
To his surprise, a cop car was trailing behind them. Of course the police would notice if you kidnapped a Starbucks employee, where else would they get their coffee? The officer wore dark shades, but the distinct hairline and cold face told Bates that he already knew exactly who this was. Wildes found him, and Bates would be the one to end up in cuffs.
