	Finishing his letter to the LNH, Cliche Dude and Halls Jordan walk
outside the LNH Secret HeadQuarters, stretching in the Evening Sunset.
	"It feels good to be free, Halls.  I was really getting paranoid,
sitting in front of that monitor all day.  You don't know how it feels to
look at a blank screen all day."
	"I use to watch soap operas all day, before I became a member of the
Ring Around the Collar Corps, so I know exactly what you are talking about."
	"Ah. Well, are you hungry?"
	"I feel a bit famished. Let's see if I gots any cash."
	Making sure Cliche Dude wasn't watching what he was doing, Halls uses
the power of the Ring Around the Collar(tm) to create some money. Unknown to
Halls, a pair of shifty eyes watch him do this from within a pastel-painted
truck.
	"Here, Cliche, it's on me, and have another cough drop, too."
	"Wow. You must be loaded, being a famous super hero, but I am still
working on my other cough drop."
	"No problem, and if you need any more, just me know, anytime at all."
	"I'll remember that, Halls.  Since you are paying, where do you want
to eat?"
	"Pizza Hut, of course."
	"Then let's go."
	As they head down the street, the motor of the pastel-painted van 
starts.  The individual inside, last seen trying to run over the Un-Manned
G-Men, is the Punished.  He wears a black kelvar outfit, with a smiley face
in the middle of his chest.  He starts down the street, while pulling out
a .45 Magnum from his gun holster.  
	Unaware of the approaching van, Halls turns to Cliche Dude, "By the
way, do you play any basketball?"
	"I play on occasion, but just for fun. Why?"
	"There is the court down on......."
	Before he could finish his sentence, a shot barely misses Halls's
left elbow. Pushing Cliche Dude out of the way, Halls swiftly turns around to
face the van, which is on a collision course for him.  Focusing the power of
the Ring Around the Collar(tm), a wave hits the van.  Unfortunately, for Halls,
all it does is clean the front end of the car.  
        Seeing his new friend about to be smashed by a badly colored van,
Cliche Dude yells out, "Who the hell is that?"
	Suddenly, the Punished is hit by Cliche's cliche, and unintentionally
sways away from Halls, into a telephone poll.  
	Cliche and Halls both head for the back of the van, but the doors kick
open and the Punished aims an M-60 at them.  
	"Time to be Punished, boys."
	"I really don't think so. Halls is going to, ah, Clean your clock."
	Unprepared for another cliche, the Punished is hit again, and loses
his sight on the duo.  Quickly, Halls uses the power of his ring, and a huge
beam comes across the van.  After the beam dies down, the paint job has been
striped off by the beam, leaving this gray finish on it, while the Punished
lays inside the van, with his spotless kelvar armor.
	"That was good, Cliche. I think we are going to make an excellent 
team."
	"Let's wrap up this case then."
	"Hey, watch it with those cliches. You never know when they will be
loaded."
	After bringing the Punished to the nearest Police station, Halls and
Cliche head over to Pizza Hut.
	"You know Halls. I have been thinking.  Maybe just the two of us
could work together, instead of trying to form a group. What do you think?"
	"Maybe, Rabbit Maybe."
