Hercule Gaston

Intro He was just an innocent high school nerd walking home from school one evening after a debate club meeting, when he stepped inside a corner store for a moment to warm up a bit. Unexpectedly and unintentionally, he witnessed a robbery, but managed to run out before the criminal spotted him. He hid behind the building, and by the time the cops were called the thief was gone. He slipped out from behind the wall, glancing around to make sure it was safe, when a voice yelled, men running towards him. “Stop! Drop your bag! On your knees, hands behind your head!” His eyes widened and he obeyed. It was the cops. They approached him cautiously, one getting his gun out in case. Did they think… he was the bad guy…? One began searching through his bag, the other keeping his eye on Hercule. The policeman with his bag tossed it aside as he saw only school supplies, and demands the location of the stolen goods and cash. Hercule only managed to stutter an “I don’t know”, when one of the men raises his hand, threatening to strike Hercule, when a voice from behind them says “Stop. He is not the one.” - you can be another witness, a renowned detective, the thief themself, or whoever else -
