Cradles 12

Their cell, Peng thought, was located in a strange place, it didn't seem like a normal 75 story building as usual. Consisting of a cage in the front entrance of the large room. A metal table stuck in the middle with three to four movable chairs, "I don't think we are in one of the floors in the NYPD's office," Peng stretched his head wide on the top of the cage and saw and a long elongated space to the top, "for elevators, maybe," he says

"This is absurd," T walked closer to share the same view as Peng, "I don't think we are…" he screamed "oh my God, we are underground,"

"Ok, I can deal with it," Lobos said then whispered, "our house is underground too,"

"My house is just a twenty feet," T scratched his balb, "who knows how many feet this is,"

"I hate the fact that I'm the only one wandering in here thinking how Mrs. Willy could save herself with the knife I used to stab her husband," IC finally said something after a hundred pacing,

"Oh at least he as said something," T said,

"I bet IC was really gonna use his slender piece under his pants on Mrs. Willy," L hopped on his seat,

"There is a rat in our midst," IC said,

"Woo, that's huge," Peng said, "you never know,,"

"I tied the rope to her hands myself," IC said, "no way she got out of that without an assistant,"

"That's right," T concurred, "which of us freed Mrs. Willy,"

"Definitely not me," L said, "I really wanted my own share of the money,"

"Woow, so you're saying it's me now right," Peng said,

"No one is putting any blame on you, Peng" T said, "just tell us if you're the one who set her free we'll understand,"

"I stand with IC this one, Peng," L said looking IC in the eye, "I mean the cloth we used to tie Mrs. Willy was cut not untied. If she's the one that escaped on her own, the latter could have been the case not the other,"

"Someone is learning English here," T said, "show off,"

"Alright, I did it ok," Peng admitted, "I mean, me seeing that small girl cry and her mother wounded within I couldn't hold it,"

"Ohh, I guess the love that you have for others works every time," IC turns around and look at the rest of the crew for a second, "are you serious right now. You made our only evidence get away,"

"IC, shut up," T said, "Peng is right, we should never have brought his family into this, no one would want that,"

"Ohh, and the part were the NYPD gets to burts us just outside her apartment instead of the State Police," L said, is that a lie too,"

"I won't be into two separate interrogations at once," Peng said

"Answer me," Lobos yells,

"I hate it when you don't get what's going on here Pengman," IC said, "you didn't call the NYPD on us, did you,"

"Peng, I know that face," T gave a smile radiating look, "what did you do?"

"I made a few adjustments in my window the last time we all were at my place,"

"Are you saying there was a bug outside of the room the whole time," L said,

"Apparently, the NYPD was with us all along," Peng said, "I hate to say this but we are screwed,"

"Funny, it's now you're seeing it," IC said, "after putting us in all this mess, it's now you're seeing it,"

"T, c'mon, it wasn't intentional. I was just told to shift the window blind of my room the day you came to my house, that's all. I didn't even have a clue the were following us all this while,"

"What do you take the NYPD for, a group of fools doing their job for a day's meat," L walked closer to Pengman and snorted, "this are professional guys, you could have told us,"

"And what…" Peng said, "hmmm, tell me what could have you do, ehehh,"

L yells at Peng's face, "we could have found out about the bug and kill it, and avoid entering this mess,"

"Ok, I'm sorry, alright," Peng pleaded with the whole team already seated on their various seat,

"That's ok, it was a mistake and we all know it, just waiting for when the NYPD will actually show thier faces with food to eat," T said

"Didn't you get a slice of the pizza you woke up early to prepare,"

"Not even a taste of it,"

"I'm thinking about something," L said, and it interested the whole team

"Anything apart from the fact that we are underground I'd love to hear it," T said

"Swears, that part seems the scariest," Peng said, "ohh, especially the part where you picture the whole building collapsing and your corpse grinding to it's dust,"

"I know how I'm gonna die, and no matter how much scarier it gets I don't give a fuck,"

"Oh, now you're like the author of the pages of the bible," T said, "the new their deaths and wrote about it in their books, how awesome,"

"You could have asked me how I'm going to die, not blab," IC said,

"Yeah I know how," L said, "I'm gonna, k-ill you and eat your brains,"

"Ok, just so I don't cause misconceptions, I will die, full of age," IC said,

"Full of age is so boring," T said, "why not ina zombie apocalypse, ahm ahm," he made the scary sound on IC's ear,

"Or, just catch a bullet as Iwalk out of a crime truce," Peng said,

"I love that one, so calm and relaxed," L said,

"Or…" IC tried speaking and L caught him mid-sentence,

"I was about saying something," L said, "what about the five million bucks, I don't hear anyone say much about it since we came,"

"We are in fuckin NYPD's office, so we can't afford saying things relating to our business," Peng said,

"The very one you jeopardize," L said,

"I thought I said sorry and everyone accepted,"

"Minus me, cuz I'm extremely angry about the turn of events and I won't like it to continue," IC said,

"NYPD," L screamed, "can you just come down already,"

"Woo, I'm dead tired of hearing no noise from the elevator space," T said,

Peng said, "I want to hear a noise from the elevator and I want to see the elevator and I want to see someone come out and do the usual. Give us a deal, we argue over it and then we get out, like out,"

"Wait, did I just hear that…" IC said. A telephone suddenly appears from inside the wall of the cell and make several rounds of rings, "it was not there all along," he said,

"Typical NYPD, everything is just amazing out here," T said,

"Alright, who's gonna take that," L said,

"I'm definitely not the one," IC shrugged,

"No one was asking a school dropout to take the call, just continue with your nursery education, maybe counting of numbers would be involved,"

"Points of correction, I was counting in millions not hundreds," IC said,

"Alright, I wanna really improve my accent for sure, and this would be a great," T said

"Shuu, trial and errors are totally crossed," L said,

"Always standing to discourage never try anything himself," IC said,

"The only option and the last option is Pengman…" T said, "just talk out loud so I can hear from here,"

Peng walked up to the telephone and picked it up, "hello, this is peng,"

The she robot in the telephone spoke, "redirecting your call,"

Peng made two heavy breath then screamed aloud when he heard his sister's voice, "hello big brother," Rina said with a loud tone,

"Woo, you're literally the last person I was expecting to call me though,"

"Ahh, I'm sorry to have called, if this is bad timing I could call back,"

"Hey, don't get me wrong, there's never a bad timing between me and you,"

"How are you doing?"

"I'm not good, really, I just ermm, dunno,"

"Hey, peng, I know you're with the NYPD," Rina said, "what did you do this time?"

"Just caught up with the rest of the gangs, and we are in a really difficult situation right now. Under the earth, something tells me we are some fit closer to the Earth's crust,"

"I wanted to tell you something but I think it's really private so I'll wait,"

"Is it about the assignment I gave you before I left,"

"No…something else, the assignment I score hundred over hundred, it was pretty, the papers are here just so you can cross check when you're back,"

"I'm afraid I won't, it's really hot in here, T has fainted and Lobos is almost dying. The only person that I actually relied on was IC and now he as fainted too, so bad,"

"Ohh my goodness, I'm gonna call the NYPD to give you guys immediate attention,"

"There's something I need to tell you before I end the call. If I don't make it out alive, don't let this go south, hit them real hard," Peng started breathing heavily,

"Peng, what are you saying? Hit [who] real hard,"

"The NYPD, the took away your brother, the only family you ever have,"

Peng dropped the call and made a loud laugh with the boys, "how was my accent…"

"The said, a drop of red wine in water paint the whole mixture red," L said, "well played,"

"Should we pretend like we are dead, like the popular movie guys usually does," IC said, "just saying, a bug can be in the wall for all I care

T said, "school is actually the best place for you IC,"

"Just saying I could be right, but I'm pretty sure they're hearing us right now," IC twisted his neck round the other three staring at him, "you don't possible think the NYPD would leave us in here to do our thing while they don't get to monitor every words that comes out of our mouth,"

"I'm not educated but I know bugs can't be planted inside a wall because it won't be able to transmit signals," L said,

"That's actually the sign of being educated," Peng said,

"Let's just say he listened in class unlike some people," T said looking IC up and down several times, "I laughed,"

Everyone startled at once as the sound from the outside moved alongside the brick on the other side of the wall. The five to seven inches brick slides upwards slowly and slowly until Peng and the other guys could see fully after a blurry glance of the shoes of four armed NYPD officers and a man in a suit in their midst.

"Wooo, please can you drop the gun," IC said, startling and moving behind. The brick finally moved up all in. Tancredi stands with Kayden and Ria and four other officers with guns, "fools," Tancredi said,

"Watch it man," L told Tancredi,

"You were in my custody once then you fled through force thinking someone would actually help you when next you take a wrong step,"

"I'm very serious when I say, I know but a piece of what's going on here," Peng said,

"You don't need to," Kayden replied, "they didn't tell you did they. TBC or whatever his name is broke Lobos out of prison and is facing a capital crime punishable by law,"

"How many years do you think he'll serve if he's been transported," Peng asked looking furious,

"Oh God this is not the way I choose to die," T starts pouring out water from underneath his jean trousers,

"Don't call heavenly father into this, he has no business," Ria siad, "guards take him. I'm sure he'll enjoy his 38 years imprisonment,"

"Woo, woo, woo," T shouted as two of the guards came to take him away,

"Officer they must be another way," L begged, "we all can't just go to prison,"

"Well, I haven't done anything wrong, I'm not going anywhere," IC said,

"Yours is life," Ria replied immediately,

"Sorry, I didn't hear that statement," IC said, "I didn't hear life right,"

"You killed four people in daylight," T said, "which you know is life imprisonment,"

"What do you want, Tancredi?" Pengman giggled and Tancredi waved the petty smile off

"I didn't come here for offers. I came to arrest, and that's exactly what I'm doing," Tancredi turns to the officer on his left, "take them all. I don't want stories,"

"I don't like when you stall with your offers," IC said, "something tells me you know about the five million bucks,"

"Which five million?" Tancredi pretends for a moment but poured out a handful of smile when IC insisted, "c'mon man I know you know and I also you don't like illegal money on the street,"

"Alright, I know about the money and I want the money off the streets,"

"That being said I'll escort you to your respective cells," Kayden said, "as we won't be needing your help to find it,"

"Can you please tell your men to let me be, at least I'm not a thieve," T said still struggling with the soldiers

"I hate it when I bring it to you raw and not baked," Ria said, "all of you are going to see the inside of a prison cell one way or another. And because I don't like to delay things. It will happen right away, how about that,"

"Can you guys please stop cutting and stitching my heart with shots of fear," L shouted, "do you want our help or not,"

"Ok, big man, you guys may have something I want," Tencredi said,

"Good, next episode," L said
