Staggy’s ‘You Know This Guy’ Note

When Staggy first saw The Doctor, this is what he recalled…

You know this guy. The night you were caught burglarizing your father’s friend, Arlys Rosgen’s home, you remember the flashing lights and sirens of the police cars, your father shouting at you incoherently through the squad car window, then arguing with Arlys. The two got in a shouting match, but then you saw this guy talking to your father and Arlys as they calmed down.

Later, during your trial, your father passed word to you about the bribe. You tensely watched through the last few witnesses as the judge eyed you coldly. It wasn’t going to work, you thought. This judge looked mad. And righteous.

The court recessed following the final testimony and your stomach was burning with stress. You asked to visit the restroom so you could vomit up your breakfast. As you were led down the hallway in cuffs, you saw this guy talking to the judge. Later, you were extremely relieved when the judge handed you a slap-on-the-wrist sentence.

You always thought that he must have been a lawyer or P.I. working for your father. But you never saw him again.
