Monster Volume 11 : The Dead Angle Chapter the Nintieth Tangent - Page 75 - [Tukunft Newspaper, Czech Office] Men: Holy damn, there's another one!! So what's the latest info?! Chapter 90 : Tangent Men: The police are going to have a press conference at 3 o'clock... What?! That's not going to tell us a damn thing! Hey!! What are you doing eating your lunch now?! Nggf!! We're employees of a minor German newspaper here on residency, we can't slack off!! Screw it, I'm going to the Prague Station myself!! I've never seen anything like this before, as a press writer!! - Page 76 - Man: Have you been lookin' at those books all night? Tenma: Oh... yes! I've found the article I was looking for, thank you. Man: Great. Tenma: Ah... please, wait. Man: I'm busy now! Tenma: I'd like to ask you about the "Mr. X" in this article... Man: Mr. X...? Tenma: Yes, this article, "Former Czechoslovakian Secret Police Revealed", from three years ago... Man: Yeah... - Page 77 - Man: The article about how the German far-right and Czechoslovakian secret police... joined together after the reunification to create a criminal syndicate that still operates today. I wrote that one! Tenma: Really!! Is there any way I could meet this anonymous former secret police agent you interviewed? Man: You said you were a correspondant from Japan, right? Why would you want to talk to Mr. X? What are you looking up...? Tenma: Uh... um, well... you know! I wanted to look into the abductions and experiments they performed during the Cold War... Man: They're crazy! Tenma: Huh...? Man: Nearly killed me, putting that stuff together for the article. They're still nuts... the underground world's in an uproar! Tenma: Why...? - Page 78 - Man: What, you haven't heard of the case of Agent Suk? And you call yourself a correspondant. Tenma: Um... well... Man: It don't matter if you can't read Czech, you can't study the atrocities of the secret police without lookin' at this news!! Here, this is ours! You can read German, can't you? This young guy Suk from the Prague Police shot and killed two special government agents assigned to track him. It was the murder of Inspector Zeman that brought the "black ties" between the secret police and the current police to light. Zeman was Suk's direct boss. Suk also revealed the secret police link to the former chief and two other agents... The three of them just so happened to be poisoned by some unknown person, and Suk got his great credit. - Page 79 - Man: But those special agents had Suk marked... Suk turned on them, and shot the both of them. In his own flat!! Tenma: A promising, elite detective... Man: Hmm? Tenma: Had... one big achievement... Man: Whatcha mutterin' about? Tenma: Three superiors... poisoned... Whisky Bonbons... Muscle relaxant... - Page 80 - Tenma: Johan... Chapter 90 : Tangent - Page 81 - Man: What are you talking about? Well, I'm late as it is. Don't get yourself killed! Tenma: Where is he... Man: I told you, he's on the run! If I was Suk, I'd be more worried about those old secret police than actual cops themselves. He'd be better off caught and locked up where nobody can get 'im! And they've got all his likely locations scouted out!! Friends' houses, usual stores... Mother's hospital room... Heh... but then, them secret police might even chase him down to his detainment cell and off him! - Page 82 - [Krumlov National Hospital, Benesov] Tenma: Excuse me...

Mother: Listen... Catherina over there won't give my stuffed animal back. - Page 86 - Mother: You know, that stuffed bear with the blue ribbon. The precious one that Miss Mari gave to me... Tenma: Your son... Your son is innocent. - Page 87 - Tenma: And now... I must leave. Mother: Jan... Jan, were you playing over there again? The place where you always played cops? Tenma: Where was that? Mother: Maybe you thought it was a secret hideout, but I knew where you were. - Page 88 - Mother: That abandoned place on Bruno Street... Tenma: You knew? Mother: Yes, I knew. Tenma: Well, then... Mother: Don't get hurt. And be back home by dinnertime. Once upon a time... - Page 89 - Mother: Once upon a time... There lived a nameless monster.

Suk: You don't suppose that anyone has discovered... that I sent the key and cassette tape to my mother, do you? Grimmer: Maybe, maybe not, but it's safer than us holding it, isn't it? Reading the details of these articles... Your case looks very familiar to me... very much so! Suk: To what...? Grimmer: Happened ten years ago in Dusseldorf, Germany. A hospital director and two doctors poisoned with candy... - Page 92 - Grimmer: A young, promising surgeon was the suspect... Suk: What happened to him...?

Grimmer: Chill out! Suk: Am I just supposed to DIE?! Grimmer: Settle down!! Calm down! Didn't I tell you to trust yourself?! The only one you can trust in the end is yourself! - Page 94 - Grimmer: There now, good boy. Let's eat! Suk: I used to... Pretend I was a cop in this room, as a little boy. That was the inspector's desk... I'm amazed it's still here. - Page 95 - Suk: This is where I would sit and give orders, just like in the TV shows... Gentlemen... This is gonna be one tough case to crack... So I want you to put yourselves into this case with all your power! We must not allow evil to spread unchecked! In the name of justice... Man, that takes me back... - Page 96 - Grimmer: SUUUK!! SUUUK!! We're surrounded... - Chapter 90 Owari -
