Officer Satan, a Slovak-Algerian Catholic policeman of the Windy-City station, was happy welcoming the new lady-femme upstart for policework, Shelbye O'Hara, but now (seriously) wondered if the new girl had the right-stuff to deal with a new dark vision of arson anarchy, painted by an eerie nemesis (unnamed) who sent anonymous cyber-messages to Satan's police-house claiming he'd find something as significant as 9/11 or the Great Chicago Fire (Selfie-like).

SATAN: Welcome, girl.

SHELBYE: I'm not just a woman or a lady or a doll or a darling, ok?

SATAN: Hey, you want this arsonist as much as we do, new lady!

SHELBYE: Me thinks he's got some tinge of field goals for terrorism visage.

SATAN: What, he's not just lighting fires to make bad jokes, eh?

SHELBYE: Well, I'm not saying he's no joker, but he may have delusions of grandeur.

SATAN: So, you think it's not some anti-society fire but directed terrorism-aura notebook?

SHELBYE: Well, maybe he's got friends, Satan.

SATAN: We all need friends O'Hara (Facebook-like).

Shelbye was the firestarter of the police-station in this 21st-Century Windy-City 'environment' of bad praises and close-scorelines kept between cops and criminals of the insanity brand (hmmm). Shelbye thought this (unnamed) arsonist of cyber-messaging was thinking he was both a prankster and self-titled god of terrorism for American Homeland marketing (wow). Satan made a police-house smilie by circulating the city would use Shelbye's cyber-image doll-beauty face to lure the arsonist with promises of 'overground' Earthling vanities of magazine-readings inside his insanity-cell (ha). This was Facebook-like (for the Ego).

Shelbye tracked the arsonist to a Windy-City shopping complex, where she made mark of the stranger, in hat and trenchcoat, following a policeman wandering around and ensuring random shopping-day security feelings of the American Homeland (wow). She knew it was the arsonist when he dropped a postcard-print of the Great Chicago Fire and immediately questioned the bad fellow (for the Ego!).

STRANGER: I'm making stories about the Chicago fire, with the recent 9/11 goosebumps and all!

SHELBYE: Well, we'd like to question you at the station if you're aware of cyber-messages of arson.

STRANGER: Anything to help in city-wide inquiries, officer (good).

SHELBYE: Maybe you might offer your own magnet-wisdom about city-fire art(s), stranger.

STRANGER: Cool (Selfie-like).

SATAN: I made you this Xmas-consumerism parody avatar doodle, O'Hara ("Evil_Elf").

SHELBYE: You know, I can't tell if you flirt with disaster with me or are training my hardness!

SATAN: Maybe both, O'Hara (ha)...very intuitive work with the postcard art man for question.

SHELBYE: Turns out he was the arsonist, eh?

SATAN: Had all kinds of eerie art(s) for arson and anarchy contemplations, Shelbye (wow).

SHELBYE: Chicago's insurance.

SATAN: Western triskelion (Happy Xmas to all).
