Larry Mealey

"I don't understand."- Larry Mealey
Larry Mealey is a secondary recurring villain in Spyman's Cosmos Universe and a criminal from Stool, Westville. Larry is the criminal partner and best friend of Tobias Sanders, although Tobias often mocks him for how dumb he is. He is often responsible for doing dirty work he sucks at; mainly because he doesn't know the purpose of certain items, for example the plungers or a crowbar. That's why his most iconic quote is "I don't understand".
He first appeared in No-Life's Home Alone Christmas special by The Philmer. He was originally created by Dr Saturn for his 2015 one-shot: Dovahkiin.
==Biography==
=== Early life ===
At some point in his life, Larry Mealey went on to the criminal path and started commiting crimes, eventually becoming partners and friends with Tobias Sanders, who also took over the leadership in their duo. Despite many failures, they often got lucky and weren't easy to catch. Eventually, they were noticed by L.O.V.E, which recruited them into their ranks to offer funding and alliance. Being in the group, they heard of Le Collecteur's achievements and he quickly became their idol.
With time, they somehow became very known among villains of the world, especially in the 'robber brand'. This caught the attention of Commander Bus from BSoD's Gang, who hired them for a special task in 2018.
=== In Search of the Scarlet Griffin ===
The mission received by them was stealing the map, that would show the location of The Scarlet Griffin from a cave underneath Château du Fassberg. On their way there, Tobias told Larry to carry their heavy bags, in addition to a huge backpack, which made him be left far behind. This didn't stop him from shouting at Larry when he arrived on the location. The two then had a talk on how the existence of an artifact able to destroy everything would be impossible, but Tobias decided to not care, as long as they receive their money and ordered to enter the castle. This was one of Larry's surprising intelligence reveals, as he corrected his boss, saying it's actually a château. As Tobias didn't want to be the one who's wrong, he shouted at Larry once again and they soon entered the building.
After some time, Tobias and Larry found the wall destroyed earlier by Spyman's Cosmos. They went in and found themselves in the cave underground, right behind the gang of friends. When Tobias grabbed the scroll from Phil's hands and put a gun against his back, he was surprised to see the Cosmos respond with taking out their weapons, so he told Larry do so something. Larry then started dancing in a weird manner and when asked by Tobias, he said he was doing "something". His boss got obviously angry and when he realized that the Cosmos used this occasion to steal the scroll and escape, he ordered to chase them.
However, while Tobias went running after them, Larry stayed in the cave and called Commander Bus, explaining the situation that had place. Soon, he joined his friend and the Cosmos over an underground ravine, also meeting Commander Bus and Dr Rex. Just in time when Tobias was surprised about their arrival, Larry revealed what he did, saying that he didn't want to fight 'children', to which Dr Rex replied that they weren't regular kids. Later, the scroll landed back in Cosmos' hands, so having nothing to do there, the two criminals left.
=== No-Life's Home Alone ===
Because of their failure, the opinions on them started circling around the villains community, forcing them to focus on some lower level crimes. Nonetheless, they remained uncatchable and eventually became the most wanted criminals in Stool, with a reward for them being 15,000 zlotys.
A day before Christmas Eve of 2018, Tobias and Larry were spying on one of the houses in the city, which turned out to be No-Life's. They overheard the residents mentioning their plane to Paris, which made Tobias realize the family was pretty rich. Though, Larry as always didn't understand what's going on, Tobias explained his plan to him, but in the end got even more infuriated. Eventually, he dropped it and said they would come back there the next night.
And so they did, but before doing anything, they decided to make sure no one was in the house To their surprise, someone was and very soon, No-Life opened the door, but seeing that it wasn't the delivery man with Playstation he ordered, he quickly closed it. This enraged Tobias, who didn't want a kid to destroy his plans and decided to storm the house anyway. As Larry didn't even know what plungers were, Tobias used them himself to climb up the wall. However, he was quickly knocked down by No-Life and fell to the ground. Landing in the snow, he survived and decided to enter the house by the back door.
There, Larry was told by Tobias to break the door with a crowbar, but of course he couldn't do that too, forcing Tobias to do everything by himself again. Larry entered after him and seeing how he rushed into the house, he told him to be cautious, but Tobias didn't listen and slipped on toy bricks. Seeing it as a lot of fun, Larry followed. Angry Tobias then noticed No-Life shouting in victory on the stairs and ordered his partner to attack the child. Though Larry did so, he was quickly knocked down by a potato from potato gun. Then, No-Life escaped and the robbers ran after him a while later, after pulling themselves together. 
Finding themselves under his room's locked door, they heard a voice, most likely belonging to a policeman, telling them to not move, when in reality it came from That Really Old Cop Movie. Larry then entered the room carefully, only to a can of red paint splash on his hair, which made him sad, as it was his new 'Hollywood style' frieze. This resulted in another fight between the partners, which No-Life used to soon knock them down. They both passed out and were tied up and left in No-Life's room for the next two hours. While No-Life was watching a movie, the robbers woke up and managed to get out. Just when the film ended, they jumped out through the window, taking No-Life's piggy bank and computer with them. However, the boy saw them running away and started chasing them. 
They managed to arrive at their van, left a few blocks away. When they got inside and were about to move, No-Life jumped in front of the car and scared them, making Larry drive into him. For a minute, he was shocked, thinking they killed the kid, but very soon he jumped into the car, after climbing under it and holding onto the backdoor. Both criminals went to see him, but soon they realized nobody was driving. While No-Life jumped out in time, Tobias and Larry were left and before they could do anything, they crashed into a wall. Not long after, they were found by a police officer and his partner, who congratulated No-Life on catching two criminals. Most likely during Christmas, Tobias and Larry were sent to prison.
=== Corrupted Chaos ===
Larry appears alongside Tobias in one of OkiWan's flashbacks, which uses a re-made shot from In Search of the Scarlet Griffin 2/5.
=== No-Life's Alone in Paris ===
Two years after No-Life's Home Alone, Larry and Tobias had been roaming free for a long time, becoming the most mocked members of their organization. In an attempt to redeem themselves, they applied to participate in a contest organized for the 2020 edition of The Criminal Con, in which, provided they won, they would conduct a robbery alongside The Troublesome Trio, who were all their idols. 
On December 23, they arrived in Paris and were strolling through the city, attempting to find the L.O.V.E headquarters. When Tobias was looking for some clues in a park, he informed Larry that he had spotted none other than No-Life, whom Larry instantly recognized upon seeing him too. The two decided to approach him and pull a revenge for becoming failures.
Larry managed to catch No-Life and pull him under a bridge, where Tobias was waiting. Larry pushed the boy to the wall and his friend introduced themselves again, recapping to No-Life what the two had been through and how it was all his fault. Larry remained speechless throughout, but was on the same page as Tobias, who eventually took out a knife, with the intention to cut No-Life's head. However, the boy screamed that they were molesting him, making Larry drop him, which allowed him to escape. Tobias was mad, but quickly calmed down, reminding Larry why they had gone to Paris in the first place. Eventually, they found the headquarters and arrived there in the evening, just in time for the main event.
As they entered the hall, the host began to present their idols, which got the two excited. Eventually, Le Collecteur began introducing the winner of the big contest and due to many similarities to Larry and Tobias' fates, the latter bursted out with extacy and ran to the stage, before the leader of the trio could reveal that the lucky person was actually a gun henchman, who survived the Nisipoulis battle. Hoping to get his humiliated friend off stage, Larry followed him, only to hear him still acting selfish, granting their successes to himself only. Larry asked if he meant both of them, but Tobias only shouted at him. Despite being excluded, Larry was still upset that his friend became a laughing stock of the present villains.
Sometime later, after the event ended, he approached Tobias sitting on the edge of the stage. His boss predicted that Larry would only respond with his usual quotes, no matter what he would say, but on the contrary, he actually began to comfort and motivate Tobias, revealing that he was glad he had never left him despite his low intelligence and saying that perhaps they care about the Trio too much. This eventually got Tobias the energy he needed and thanks to that, they both decided that they should be three steps ahead of their formerly beloved team. In order to do that, they tracked down the location of the Pearls of Toulon, which the trio intended to steal and went there immediately.
When they were in front of the mansion, Tobias began to explain the plan, only for Larry to stop him, to remind that they both worked on it an ask why was he unnecessarily explaining it. Tobias didn't know, but also didn't care and took out a grappling hook to get inside through a window on a higher level. Larry then got the hook back from Tobias, who landed on the window ledge. Half a minute later, Larry was on the ledge too, but at that moment, the door to the room opened, making his friend shocked and accidentally close the window. 
The hit caused Larry to step back and fall down. However, his landing was softened by Gun henchman #84, who got smashed by Mealey and terrified Fast Bill and The Mime, with the former reporting the event to their leader. Larry heard Le Collecteur over the com, wondering what the two criminals were doing there and he explained that they wanted to be three steps ahead. Collecteur didn't care and decided to fly in to the same room.
Eventually, a huge havoc began, as the person in the house turned out to be No-Life, which ultimately led to a chaotic fight for the Pearls between him, the Trio and Tobias. When the boy was fighting Fast Bill, Larry managed to sneak and grab the necklace, laying on the ground. He then called his boss, saying that he got the pearls, which made him surprised, only for Le Collecteur to fly over and whip them off his hands. 
Mealey then joined Tobias again and said that they could still get the treasure, as the fight between No-Life and the Trio's leader moved back inside. However, Sanders declared that they shouldn't repeat their mistakes and indeed be three steps ahead of the Trio. As the Pearls case appeared to be lost, it was better for them to run away and focus on something else. The two was in agreement and escaped before police could show up and catch them once again.
=== Wish Upon a Clock ===
In 2021, Tobias and Larry travelled to Norfolk and at some point decided to rob a local library. As usual, Larry was getting on his partner nerves by being afraid of the dark and snowy surroundings. When they arrived at the building, Tobias noticed Spy, whom he recognized as one of the people responsible for their fiasco when the two were hired by BSoD's Gang and shared the idea of executing revenge with Larry.
The two criminals then stormed the library, interrupting Spy's chat with Pixel. Annoyed Spy told them to get over it, but that didn't suit Tobias, who also threatened Pixel and told her to get out of the building. Him and Larry were about to settle the score with Spy, when Pixel intervened and hit Tobias in the head with a glass ball, which knocked him out. Pixel ordered Larry to leave or she would hurt him too and he obliged, leaving his partner laying on the floor.
