One last time
"TwiLife, the renowned science team known for Trig pills which effectively stops FOP from turning muscle tissue into bone, is now working on a clinical surgery that may revert facial skin tissue aging.
Wallus Fintesco turned towards the TV to say, "shut up," and the TV screen gave a sigh as it shut down. TwiLife's goal was not to revert aging. Their end game was to use their funding to create a tranquilizer that places people into a mental coma that can be ended at a specific time manually using a dosage of a special formula they would make. They made it painstakingly obvious with every high ranking staff member having a history in somnology. Why is this a bad thing? Based on the founder, Charles Faywal's history in anti-social media campaigning, it would be used in a string of attacks on social media's worst influencers. How could Wallus tell?
With an IQ of 135 and experience on the streets of Detroit as a cop, Wallus was extremely intelligent and extremely bored. He gave a crap at one point, but eventually gave up. Ss he finished the thought, he realized the entire cafe was now staring at him.
One man in a piss colored parka saw Wallace lift his head up and shouted, "turn the television back on." Wallus shouted at the smart TV to continue the news broadcast. Even when he had tried to make a difference as a cop he became increasingly frustrated at how unbalanced the system was, and eventually landed on the conclusion that he wouldn't ever make a difference. That's when the broadcast said something that grabbed his attention.
"TwiLife has drafted a new scientist to join their already prestigious organization, Jamie Roxwild," droned the speakers as Wallus jumped out of his chair. He dashed out of the cafe and jumped into his car. As he arrived at his apartment, he opened his laptop and googled 'TwiLife payroll.' There he confirmed it- they'd hired Jamie Roxwild. He knew Roxwild from his time on in Detroit, back when Roxwild was still in high school. He was clever but did have an odd sense of anachronism. He spoke like he got lost on his way to the 1700's. He made you feel uncomfortable in the way that around him your breathing would quiet down and your chest would tighten up. Roxwild was quiet but once ended up in the back of Wallus's squad car. Roxwild had, believe it or not, broken into a morgue and decapitated a suicide victim.
Wallus decided he was bored anyways and that the twist of someone he'd met before being inolved with twist it up a bit. His boring life was in need of some excitement anyhow.
1: TwiLife's goal is to launch a string of attacks to place certain people into mental comas, for some malicious reason or another.
2: TwiLife is revered by most scientists as the second coming of Christ for science
3: TwiLife's original failed project, covered up by bribes, caused the 'accidental' deaths of 3 different Twitch streamers.
The third one was very clearly a failed attempt at using the tranquilizers. They got the dosage wrong and accidentally committed homicide. And this point, all Wallus had to find was solid evidence. Wallus would be hailed as a hero and would get enough money from interviews and possibly a government payout to retire. It was one of many outcomes of course. He could also get killed, as TwiLife had committed homicide before, even if by accident.
After days of planning, Wallus had a plan. He would request a job from TwiLife, which would be easy considering his 135 IQ and knowledge of chemistry from busting wannabe Walter Whites on the streets of Detroit. He would fake a history in somnology by bribing some college professors. After that, Wallus would be reached out to by the leaders of TwiLife due to his fabricated history in somnology. Finally, all he would need to do would be recording an incriminating conversation and sending it into the police. Wallus executed the first part of his plan over the weekend. He was accepted immediately, and reached out to 5 days later to meet with the heads of TwiLife. A few days later, he was called in to meet Faywal to discuss his 'future with TwiLife.' Tape recorder brought, evidence created. It was nice having 135 IQ, Wallus thought. Finally, he went to the police.
Lo and behold, TwiLife's leading members were arrested the following tuesday night. The news broke out quickly and Wallus received a hefty paycheck for interviews. There was time enough at last for him to rest. All was well until, "turn around, Wallus," the intruder waited for Wallace to turn around before continuing, "you sent my brother to jail."

This is my first time on this subreddit!
Also, I didn't read the 800 world limitation so I was planning on a longer story and the last bit was compacted and essentially summarized into a small confinement of words.
