Chapter 8

Currently its been quite peaceful

All i've been doing these past few days was recovering and doing average stuff outside of my job as a hero.

At public i go by Bryce, thats all i could say

Im not sure about Cash's public name but he

Insists that he should not tell, it doesnt fluster me that much i could understand.

So anyways i should head out doing whatever i do normally, ive done mostly the house chores theres nothing else to do but just walk like i use to.

Strolling down the streets of battle ruined york and being the ongoer that i am, i usually sneak up to potentially suspicious activity but since there are hardly any citizens left i decided to watch people rebuild the place.

I see heroes from other places or nations helping out and cleaning up the mess, that was just it after watching for about maybe a few moments i headed back home.

Just as i was headed back home i noticed someone in a corner alleyway, i decided to follow after it.

As i grew closer and closer i heard someone climbing what it hears to be a fence and stumbling and running, i quickly head over but to no avail the person was gone, all i could see left was the sillouette of the person going farther and farther.

That was suspicious i thought of but i should brush it off for now.

...

*I heard there was a huge plot of land ready for us to take back*

*indeed, thanks to that catastrophy, lets just say we were lucky indeed*

The unknown person said in satisfaction

*So what might be the overall plan of this?*

The unknown individual questioned

*I say we should, take priority on subjugating the place first, then prioritize on the heroes that were left*

The unknown person said

*Whatever*

The unknown individual jokingly said

*Anyways i shall inform the Rest*

Right before he steps out the unknown man signals him to stop then says

*Before you go, take one if you can*

He is shown offering a glass of what seems to be liquor.

*Made by myself, Makes us stronger, even big guy took it as well*

The unknown individual smiled and said

*I know what your saying*

*Cheers*

As they clinked they both drank their glasses in one go and he went his seperate way.

.....

Its been already 1 week, during our times resting so on everything is peaceful as usual, Dr. Evil is being held at a prison with the most Highest security they could give, i doubt he's ever getting out, more over i think we could do something for today.

With a decision in mind i head out the house, right as i was reaching for the door, The house phone rang suddenly Cash picked it up.

*Hello*

Cash says upon hearing the voice he handed the phone to me

*Its for you*

Cash hands it over

Upon leaning my ear on it spoked

Detective Davis a detective we worked with on some cases, he smokes a lot but he gets most of the cases we worked on done in a flash.

According to him it seems that this ongoing one seems to be getting complicated at the moment, so he's requesting some hero assistance like last time.

So headed towards the station he was currently in, he did said that he'll tell more details at the station so we'll hear what he has to say.

Upon arriving we met up with him smoking one out in the open.

*You made it*

*You know you should stop smoking*

I said with concern

*We should head onto the conference room by now*

We both headed, we entered and took a seat on the ongoing conference

*So what seems to be going on here?*

I said

The police chief stood up and replied

*Well, according to what the files are stating, there have been a number of disappearances specifically with citizens of

________ district, downtown.*

*Anything else it has to say?*

Davis also replied

*Well it says here all of the dissapearances happened at night, from one eyewitness account it states that they droved off in a white van*

*any leads?*

*looking at street cam footage, we could see silhouettes of 2 individuals carrying what it appears to be a body*

*Unfortunately we arent able to track down these individuals, which is were you 2 come to place, with your partner having a useful talent like that i could use some air surveillance*

I cut down the chase by asking one thing

*What did you mean by unable?*

*We'll this was the only footage we were able to capture of them, any nearby street cams are jammed whenever this van is around*

*Leaving you two our only choices*

Davis then said

*What about other heroes?, theres that one guy he can transform he could do the job*

I argued

*Asking someone from a different state is too expensive and time consuming, we need to end this quick and easy*

Another officer said

*Correct*

The chief said

*We had a variety of heroes to choose from but due to the event that happened recently, your the only 2 veterans that would do the job*

After that it was just a long conference about other stuff like petty cases and what not

Even so we still took the case, Cash went out early and so i stayed by at the conference one that was finished up i took my leave.

I headed out the station, upon being outside

I notice an individual leaning at the street lamp nearby, he had a similar detective attire as of davis, might be his co-worker or another one of his partners.

He noticed me and waved his hand and said

*You must be Weirdo Guy!, Strange isn't it?*

The seemingly supposed young partner asked

*Yes i am, and you must be davis's Co-Worker?*

*Indeed, newly hired to be fair*

He said with calmly

This guy looks so young, it takes atleast some years of police work in order to become a detective, i wonder how is this possible

We then started a conversation that took a while it was the usual fun conversations people have everyday, like he asked me about hero stuff, and i asked him about what how his detective work life is, hell i even told him about some stuff only me and detective davis knew out of fun.

*About detective davis*

He said

*You did mention he had atleast a few partners throughout the years*

*yes i did mention,but they all went out of his wing eventually*

*Why so?*

*Well again like i said, The dude was just looking for someone to do the dirty work*

We all bursted out laughing as we walked the streets at the night.

Suddenly i remebered the one question i forgot to asked earlier

*Say, if your here then did Davis for got something?*

*Oh yeah..., i just came here to give you some info*

He said in a calm but forgetful way

*Info huh...*

He handed me a paper with an address

*That was all he asked me to do*

I took a look at the address, and noticed this information hasnt been in the conference

Must be new so i had to ask

*Say, is this new information about the case?*

*It is!, but we cant just inform the station right now*

*What do you mean?*

*We cant let them know*

He said hurriedly then turned back and walked away, i noticed during our conversation he was looking at something.

I turned back only to notice someone at the station from a distance is spying on us through a window, i then chased back to him

*Wait!*

I said while both of us are walking away from station, i got back to him he then panned his eyes to me and said calmly but in a serious matter

*Listen, Meet Davis at that address tomorrow 11pm he knows whats going on*

He then hurriedly left and i was left there standing behind in the dark street.

Something must be wrong i thought,

Everything that is happening is making me think of many things to ask myself.

Risky as he is, and risky as in not to let station know.
