This story started out with Skye Zanzibar in the middle of a dusty street. He was in the old west and he was having a showdown with an outlaw by the name of Ace Stronglove. Ace was twitching like he was ready to draw. People were watching, very nervous.
One lady even fainted because Skye Zanzibar was so handsome and she didn’t want to see him die.
Skye Zanzibar stretched his fingers, ready to grab at his six shooter.
Then Ook of Field charged out into the street and tackled Skye Zanzibar to the ground
“Gronk!” Ook yelled.
“Why are you stopping me Ook? Ace Stronglove hit a woman, I have to defend her good honor.”
“Gronk.” Ook said sadly.
“You’re totally right Ook, I could never win.”

Skye Zanzibar and Ook of Field were off to another time.
(If you are mad because you thought this story was going to be an old west story, I’m sorry. I’ll get back to an old west story sometime soon.)
Skye Zanzibar and Ook of Field ended up smack dab in the middle of a crime scene.
It was a big house in the year 3583, there was a dead Aztec business man on the floor. He was stabbed to death with a weapon.
BUT before he died he wrote some numbers in his own blood on the floor
7891011.
An Aztec lady walked in and screamed and pressed her police button on the wall.
“You killed my husband because he’s a rich man!”
“I didn’t do it, lady. I just got here.”
“How did you get in my house with all my security, you killed him.”
“Man, just believe me, I didn’t do it. I don’t even know your husband.”
Skye heard sirens and he almost crapped his pants with fear.
“Ook, I don’t want to leave the name of Skye Zanzibar as a bad name in any time. We have to find out who killed this rich businessman and get our names cleared.”
“Gronk!”
Skye Zanzibar and Ook of Field ran.
“Sorry lady, I didn’t do this murder, but I’m going to find out who did.”
“I don’t believe you, you’re a crazy spaceman with a caveman and you got into my house through security and killed my husband. You’re a liar.”
Skye and Ook jumped out the window.
The lady opened her secrutiy and the cops came in.
The boss of the cops was fat with a moustache with food in it and he said, “We heard your call and came. What happened to your dead husband?”
“The guys that did it jumped out the window.”
“Private, go around and look for them. They are our greatest suspects.”
“Yes, sir.”
Meanwhile, Skye and Ook went into hiding. Skye actually took off his uniform and Ook put on some clothes they found and they sort of blended. The style was future from ours and a little different. Most men had beards with no moustache and most women had Mohawks. Hey, if one famous Aztec does it, everyone does it. People wore lots of beads.
Skye knew how to talk in Aztec language because they ruled in his time 6649.
Skye and Ook went to a huge mall. There were so many stores and the mall was eight stories tall. They went and read comics at one store and ate at Coatl-Burger, an Aztec burger place.
“We have to think about this Ook, what did those numbers mean and who would kill a man in his own home.”
It became night and they had nowhere to go, so they slept under the stars. A lot of people liked to camp out in that time period, not just bums.
Aztecs love looking at stars at night so the richest ones live on the tops of buildings.
Ook played a little dice with some mean looking guys by the docks. He kept losing his money, which was shells.
The next morning Skye was reading the newspaper. It said that suspects were on the run in the murder. It said that the business man had tons of friends and his wife said that he had three enemies that were other business men that wanted to buy his business. They were Thomas Itzli, Jason Acalan, and Tim Tochtli.
Then Ook of Field saw some coppers moving in, but it was too late. The cops threw a huge net over Skye and Ook and pointed about sixty guns at them. Skye Zanzibar would never hurt a cop, unless he was a crooked cop, so he and Ook had to give up, man they were pissed off.
The jail of 3583 was pretty much the same except that Skye and Ook had to share their cell with hookers. The hookers were hot, but they had bad smells and scratchy, deep voices. Ook was all about the hookers. He was making out with them using tongue.
Skye was deadly serious and the cops told him he could keep his suit because if he used it, he would just be in more trouble.
Skye was thinking and thinking and then he thought of something really good.
He told Ook, “Old friend, you are like my brother that I never had, but I’m going to get out of here and solve our mystery, but I will come back for you, dear brother. Do not think that I won’t, because I WILL.” Skye turned 2-D and slipped out the window.
Ook didn’t really care because he was getting hot action from the hookers.
Skye Zanzibar engaged Tear and flew above the city.
Rich Aztec people that lived on rooftops saw him and crapped their pants at the pterodactyl.
There was a huge house and the doorbell rang. A butler answered it.
There was Skye Zanzibar, “Is this the
“Yeeeeeeeees.”
“Where was Mr. Itzli on the night of the murder?”
“I don’t know.”
“Let me talk with him.”
“I can’t he has been in
“Then he must be innocent. He wasn’t here. Arigato.”
That was one suspect down and two to go.
Skye went to Jason Acalan’s mansion.
The butler let him in to see Mr. Acalan and they sat and had Aztec coffee. Which has the bones of men in it.
“It’s none of your business at all where I was that night, Mr. Zanzibar.”
Mr. Acalan was really cocky and Skye didn’t trust him one lick.
“Well, there was a murder and you should tell me where you were to clear your name.”
“I’m not going to tell you, it’s my business. Maybe I was doing something that was really embarrassing like visiting hookers or doing drugs.”
“You’ll see lots of hookers in jail if you did it. I have to go to the bathroom.”
“Right over there.”
Skye Zanzibar walked down the hall to the bathroom. He walked past a calendar, it was put to July, even though it was August.
“Someone should change that, but it’s none of my business.”
Skye went pee.
Jason Acalan called the cops while Skye was in the bathroom.
“I have that guy that escaped from jail that looks like a spaceman, come pick him up.”
When Skye got out of the bathroom he was really excited.
“You did the murder, Jason Acalan! I know it was you. The number was 7-8-9-10-11. That stands for the months, July, August, Sept., October and November. If you take the first letter of each, that spells Jason. You were still in the room when he wrote that, that’s why he did it in code. You’re guilty mister.”
“You’re right but you’ll never catch me. You escaped from jail, so you look way more guilty than me. I got away with murder. Hahahaha.”
Just then the cops busted in and the same cop that was fat with a moustache was there,
“Back to jail, Mr. Skye Zanzibar.”
“Wait, I have proof this gentleman, here, Jason Acalan was guilty.”
Skye Zanzibar whipped out his iPhone and he was recording the whole time since he got out of the bathroom.
“Looks like we were wrong about you, Skye Zanzibar. Men lock up Jason Acalan for the murder.”
Skye said, “I have the disc from my iPhone if you want to keep it, sir. Then you’ll have the proof.”
The cop said, “That’s okay Mr. Zanzibar, I can see by your face you’re a good man.”
Jason Acalan went to jail and in the court he was found GUILTY! And he sacrificed to the gods so an old Aztec man could learn a spell to turn red apples into green ones.
At the jail, Ook of Field was let out. He and Skye Zanzibar did a HARD high-5.
Then they hugged.
“I’ve missed you old friend. You’re the best.” Skye was almost crying he was so happy, but he’s no wimp.
Ook of Field kissed his hooker friends goodbye.
