  “FBI Stirs up Hornet’s Nest in Colorado”

  By: Joel Willingsworth

  It would appear the FBI stepped in to help Colorado Springs with some major wholesale theft problem, only to stir up a hornet’s nest. We managed to get a hold of some information about a young troubled FBI agent named Robert Drake who was assigned this less strenuous task after a mental breakdown on his last assignment that ended up almost killing a fellow cop. Robert apparently couldn’t handle this one as well as he lost his head from lack of leads on the theft and somehow managed to release Bartholomew Gatchet and move him back to his home town in the mountains. For those who don’t remember, Gatchet was tied to the Trent Frennur case and part of that experiment gone wrong led by the FBI, who seems to be having difficulty these days controlling their employees. Well for Robert his insanity at the moment seems to be working for him, as there is rumor from up in the mountains claiming he has found Trent Frennur and finally killed him. Meanwhile back in Colorado Springs he leaves his traditional mess where he has confessed to be the master mind behind all the theft and even threatened their local police chief and his family, only adding to their troubles as the city has all but given up on the chief’s ability to handle the theft, much more the city’s other woes. Rumor has it that this chief, Jeremy Butler, has also been covering up local murders involving illegal immigrants. The next mayor is running his campaign with a promise to replace Butler and put someone more capable of running the city’s police. Our reporter asked him what he thought of the events surrounding Robert Drake and we quote him as saying: “I don’t mean to say anything of our Federal agents who we all know work hard to keep our country safe, but I believe they have laid an egg in Mr. Drake and I don’t buy this rumor at all nor will I think the FBI. I remember the case of Trent Frennur and we have all evidence on our side to say that he died years ago and left us finally in peace.”

  Colorado Spring’s hopeful mayor may not want to call the FBI out on their track record of retaining mentally ill agents, but we do. This has happened too often in the last decade and they continue to side track the issue and cover over their mistakes, as we saw in the closing of SODM. Perhaps this time they will have taken more than they can chew and we will see their nose less often in our doorways. As for Robert Drake and Jeremy Butler, their careers are washed up and they will only stand as examples of how the FBI and local police forces needs much reforming.
