Grace- How to Be a Good Guy

In order to be a proper good guy, or gal, one must read the proper materials. I recommend all classic detective books, and read the whole way through. Stopping halfway can be discouraging to amateur good guys.

One must also watch the proper shows. MacGyver is an excellent one for good guys to watch, pay close attention to how he gets out of dangerous situations. This may save your life someday. And if you just want a feel good movie, something with romance, excitement, and music, Roy Rogers is a classic. Plus Roy always gets the girl, you gotta love that.

When investigating the crime scene, look for anything that the bad guys have left behind. A handkerchief, ring, or business cards can be excellent leads. I do however advise that you leave certain items alone, such as tissues, socks, and band aids. You cannot expect bad guys to have good hygiene. A bottle of hand disinfectant is a must for any good guy.

Always carry a fingerprint kit. Forgetful bad guys will have left their gloves in the car, and this can be a huge advantage to all good guys. When going over a crime scene look at everything, and hope that your criminal has not done his homework. Crazy things such as signing into their Facebook accounts or leaving a trail of candy wrappers fit into this category.

Here is a list of all the essential items a good guy must have.

  • A notebook. Write down everything.
  • Rope or handcuffs, several pairs if possible.
  • A confident air. You can intimidate cowardly bad guys when this is used properly.
  • A whistle. If you are not lucky enough to be a girl with an ear splitting scream, you will need something to attract attention that goes beyond your deep voice.
  • Disguises. Casual clothing, dirty tennis shoes, or a Granny costume have been the most useful.
  • Lots of handy martial arts moves to get a bad guy down.
  • Fingerprinting kit.
  • Disinfectant.
  • Plastic baggies.
  • Snoopy toothbrush.
  • Good guy hang out. Attics, rooms over the garage, or secret dwellings underneath mansions are the choice hang outs at the moment. Fill them with all of the latest spy and detective gadgets.
  • A follow-the-getaway vehicle. Taxis are the good guy vehicle of choice right now. Be sure that you have your lines memorize, as this will make or break your good guy career. Go running up to a waiting cab, smartly jump into the back seat, and then with a straight pointer finger say, "Follow that car!"
Now, when things go awry and you happen to be captured by the bad guy, don't panic. Gain as much time as possible. Keep talking and try to give the police time to arrive and rescue you.

Try to get the bad guy to boast about his evil deeds. keep asking questions, try to butter them up. This will make negotiating much easier. And besides, pride comes before a fall, it's not like they haven't already sinned.

Now when you are trying to keep the bad guy talking, here are the proper threats, questions, and statements that you must use.

  • "You won't get away with this!" This displays confidence and faith. Just be sure that you really have a back up plan, we don't want to tell lies if possible.
  • "Wait, tell me how you did..." Bad guys are known for big egos, so use them to your advantage. Even if their boasting makes you want to barf, it is better than loosing your neck.
  • "The police will be here any minute." Unfortunately for good guys, this is true only about 25% of the time. But just pray that you are lucky and are one of the favored.
  • "You really seem like a nice person. I bet you really don't want to rob the..." This should only be used on softer bad guys. If you have a tough nut to crack, this can only make things worse. But be sure that you are persuasive, pull out things that touch their hearts. Examples, childhood memories, puppies, their mother, chocolate chip cookies.
So there you have it, a crash course on how to be a good guy.
