Part 12: Ball Retention

The following frames have to be told via the facial expressions of the ball gagged Big Willy, which should be fun for any artist. It's all POV of the killer looking at Big Willy.
2/1
Willy looking wide-eyed surprised.
2/2
Willy blushing, looking embarrassed, looking down at himself.

Willy trying to explain something with his hands, his eyes pleading.

Inspector Patel talking with Patton and Burnsie
3/1
Patel: "We still haven't found Mr. O'Connell. But from what we know he may have gone AWOL."
Burnsie: "Oh?"
3/2
Patel: "There is the possibility that Mr. O'Connell is the killer."
Patton: "Paddy? Nah."
3/3
Patel: "We uncovered some IRA connections in his past, and his desire to gain access to a firearm is worrying."
3/4
Patton: "Paddy's no psycho ... I've been drinking with him for years. He's a good mate."
Patel: "Whatever you feelings regarding him for now he remains a person of interest, although not our leading suspect."
Burnsie: "Oh? Who you think it is?"
3/5
Patel: "Mr. Patterson's ex-wife."
Patton: "Jacinta? I haven't heard from her in years."
3/6
Patel: "Our files suggest your marriage did not end amicably."
Patton: "Well, yeah. She was as mad as a weta in a gumboot."

4/1
Patel: "We have been unable to determine her current whereabouts, and given the ferocity of the beating she gave to you when you split ... "
Burnsie (to Patton): "Jacinta beat you up?"
4/2
Patel looking a her notes.
Patel: "Severely. He was temporarily blinded in one eye."
Patton: It wasn't the eye that hurt at the time. She kneed me really good in the nuts. More than once."
4/3
Burnsie: "Ouch. Nothing hurts more than a knee in the balls. But cripes, mate, getting beaten up by a woman?"
4/4
Burnsie looks sheepish as Patel verbally threatens him.
Patel: "It is not that uncommon. Would you like me to demonstrate on you?"
Burnsie: "Um, no."
4/5
Patel actually looking at Patton in an admiring way.
Patel: "To Mr. Patterson's credit it seems he did not injure his wife in retaliation, despite the prolonged nature of the attack which resulted in multiple defensive wounds."
Patton: "Yeah, okay. So I let her beat me up for a long time ... "

5/1
Patton manages to lower himself in Patel's eyes yet again.
Patton: "... to be fair, she had just found out I'd been sleeping with her sister."
Burnsie; " Oh yeah. She was a looker."
5/2
Patel: "Anyway, gentlemen, we have completed installing a secure perimeter around the hotel with 24 hour electronic surveillance. There are three officers on duty at any time, and it has been two days now since one of your number turned up dead in some bizzare manner."
5/3
Burnsie: "So you reckon we're safe now?"
Patel: "Safer than you were. Yes."
5/4
Patel: "With any luck the killer is still somewhere in Wellington wondering where you have all gone."
Patton: "I'll drink to that. Can I get you anything inspector?"
5/5
Patel: "I'm on duty."
Patton: "Are you ever off?"
5/6
Patel leaves Patton and Burnsie drinking.
Patton: "Jacinta, eh? I suppose it could be her. At the whorehouse the other night they said they saw a woman. Although I do remember Paddy wearing a dress at a party last year."
5/7
Burnsie: "If Jacinta's after you why kill all the other guys in the team?"
Patton: "Who knows. Just to piss me off, maybe?"
5/8
Patton: "Well, sounds like she'll have a hard time breaking in here now it's all wired up. For once I might get a sound night's sleep."
5/9
Screams off. Burnsie and Patton turn to the direction of the noise.
(Aiiieeee!!!)
Burnsie: "Don't start counting sheep yet, mate."
Page SIX
6/1
Large panel Burnsie, Patton and some others gathered over the bondage gear wearing body of Big Willy, but it'll have to be positioned cleverly so we can't see too many details ... as his balls have been cut off and placed in his mouth. Obviously his ball gag is missing, replaced as it were with this new 'ball' gag.
Burnsie: "Oh dear god!"
Patton: "It's 'Big Willy' Williams."
(various gasps and ick noises from the others)
6/2
Patton and Burnsie leaning down to inspect the body a bit more closely. We do not have to see the details.
Burnsie: "What's that in his mouth?"
Patton: "Oh fuck! It's his bollocks! Someone's cut his balls off and stuffed them in his mouth!!"
6/3
Patton with a frown on his face, Burnsie open mouth in horror and disgust.
Burnsie: "Why would the killer want to do that?
Patton: "He was a strong running winger, was Big Willy ... but he always did have a problem with ball retention."
Next: Tight Maul
"mad" as a weta in a gumboot makes more sense to me ;)
