8 VIII
Luke's POV
"What happened?" Nichole asked me as they appeared at the scene.
"I dropped Camille off after she told me about the Principal's case." I told Nichole.
"Poor Camille, she had just gotten hostaged, was in a break up and now witnessing a Psycho on the lose in a span of 3 weeks. " Nico sighed, looking at the woman inside my car.
"Let's go." Sean told me, while I nodded before entering the institution.
"Help me please!" We all turned our heads towards a the alley leading towards the janitors closet.
"Nico, I need to get a better view o-"
"Officers." All our heads turned to the speaker above us.
"If you think you're smart enough to raid this institution you're wrong." A man's voice chuckled.
"He must be Lewis." Nico said, and I nodded.
"Every move is monitored. You're not going anywhere near me and my wife." He laughed visciously.
I looked around the area and saw that there were cctv's. Perhaps that's why he has a view of us. I felt Nico walk closer to me and whispered.
"He's in the second floor, by the west." Nico informed me.
"How did you know?" I asked my bestfriend.
"That's where the security office is." Sean whispered and I nodded.
I took another look around and noticed that the camera's were moving, meaning to say he really is the security room. Whenever the camera on the right moves towards us, the camera on the left moves away from us, as if they were in sync.
Aha! Blind spots, these cameras have blind spots whenever they're moved and controlled by the security.
"Sean, go north."
"Peter, go south."
I heard Nico instruct, and I knew she figured out how the mechanisms worked as well. Sean gave us a nod before proceeding to align himself in his designated position.
"Max, take west." Nico said, and I nodded.
"On the count of three, we'll run towards the positions. Once the camera moves and follows us, one side will be on the blind spot." I told them.
"Nice skills Max." Sean chuckled.
"Ally to Nico and Max." I heard on my ear piece.
"Thank God." Nico chuckled. I looked around and saw them with their backs turned to each other.
"Ready?" I said in a low voice.
"Shut up!" Lewis hissed.
"His wife must be trying to fight." Peter said and I nodded.
"Peter, your lane's connected with the janitor's lane, check the voice." Sean said, while Peter nodded.
"Go." Nico said, and within a flash. We were all walking different directions.
"You think you're smart? I have you monitored!" Lewis laughed through the speakers.
"He's bluffing. Sean's on the blind side." Ally said. Only Nico and I are capable of hearing Ally, since the CIA gave us these materials. Sometimes we use the earpiece method, but majority we use the technological accessories to blend in with the public.
"Sean!" I yelled, as I did. Sean did everything to make sure the camera was on him. When it moved, Peter quickly ran to the janitor's closet.
"There's a preschool teacher with a stab on her leg!" Peter yelled. Thankfully, the cameras and the speakers weren't equipped with Mic.
"It's moving back to Pete!" Sean yelled,
"Luke, Sean's near the room where the kids are trapped inside."
"Sean, the room next to you has kids trapped inside." I said, as I pretended to look for something around my area.
"Shoot the camera Pete!" Nico yelled.
"I can't!" Peter yelled, while he struggled to help the woman.
"Luke, blind spot." Ally said. As soon as I heard it, I raised my gun towards the camera's positioned along the corridor.
"Take my gun." I heard Nico's voice, before I felt a gun slide on my side.
"Nico's equipped with the silencer." Ally said, I quickly picked it up and took my shot. There were three camera's along the walls, these cameras were moving in a symmetrical pattern.
"5 seconds Luke." Ally said, while I aimed for the second and third camera.
"Oh God." Peter exclaimed.
"Good aim." Nico teased me.
"Nico's on the blind side, Camera's on you Luke." Ally said. I quickly pretended to drop Nico's gun and pretended to injure myself before swiftly kicking it across.
Without a sweat, Nico went and disabled the cameras around my side.
"Lewis' clueless about the camera loosing signal. He thinks it's bugged." Ally chuckled.
"I found the kids." Sean announced, before trying to open the door.
"Nico, camera's on you. Luke Take this chance." Ally said and I quickly nodded before rushing up the stairs.
"Nico, switching to Sean in 5 seconds. You know what to do." I heard Ally, but I was more invested with the fact that I'm near where the psycho is.
"Luke, a guard's coming your way in 2 seconds." I heard Ally.
"Nice job." Ally said when I quickly knocked the guard out with a punch.
"No more?" I asked her, while I looked around the area, trying to look for a security camera.
"No guards, no cameras." Ally said, and I quickly ran to the door at the furthest end.
"Luke behind y-"
I felt a body crash on mine before I could defend myself, I looked up to see Nico with a hand in front of me. Thank God for a best friend.
"Sorry Luke, the signal buffers." Ally sighed.
Nico's POV
"There must be infrareds around, we must be nearby." Luke said, and I nodded in response. Thankfully I was on time, or else he would've been shot to death by the guard.
"Who the hell helps a Psycho on the lose?" Luke chuckled before we heard a muffled voice, a few feet away from us.
"You're useless!" Luke instantly looked at me before running to open the security room.
"Step back!" Lewis yelled when we found him, he was holding a syringe on one hand and the other was his wife. Mrs. Patterson was in tears, practically begging us to help her.
"Put that down." Luke growled.
If I know one thing, Luke hated seeing domestic violence. As a child he grew up seeing his Mom get abused by his step father. Luke's father died at a young age, on a plane crash. His father was the source of income in the family, when he died his Mom started to take charge. At first, the office work was fine. Until he found out that his mother, being the Boss' secretary was now dating him.
"I said down!" Luke yelled, he was badly furious. I could say that the image in front of us is the same image he found his mother in, that day he went home and found out she was abused.
"You psycho." Luke muttered before quickly charging Lewis without thinking twice.
"Help me please." Mrs. Patterson begged, I quickly helped the woman while Luke continued to battle for the syringe.
"Sean! Peter!" I yelled, and they quickly rushed the stairs.
"Han-" Sean started but was cut off by Luke's ear piercing yell.
"Max!" I yelled, upon seeing my best friend holding his now bleeding forearm, and a syringe attached on his skin while Lewin laughed. Max pulled the syringe out of his skin, but he struggled to move his right arm.

Camille's POV
"He just needs to rest a bit, and well he needs to wear the cast." I told Nico, while Max sighed. The detective was now in cast. Apparently, upon charging Mr. Lewis, he had it under control until the man stabbed him with the syringe and slammed his arm on the table beside them.
"She's saying the same thing your Doctor said." Ally chuckled, patting me.
"Do you mind looking after Max for a while? We're just going to file these reports." Nico asked me, I nodded. It was my fault why he had this injury, and I might as well take care of him.
"I can't feel my arm at all." Max groaned.
"The syringe had succinylcholine, it's used for skeletal muscle relaxant. You won't be feeling your arm in 6 to 12 hours so you won't be in pain. But after it, you'll start to feel." I told the Max, while he looked at me confused.
"How'd you know that?"
"I'm actually a Medical Technologist." I informed the now shocked detective.
"Then what are you doing at a daycare?" He asked me.
"Medtech's aren't that much of a needed specialist at the hospital I used to work in. They said the nurses could do the same job we do." I sighed, while Max shook his head in disbelief.
"That's crappy." He chuckled.
"So why daycare?" He asked, this time smiling.
"Well, I really like kids. Plus when I was cut off from the list of Medical Staffs, I came across the school I work in. So I applied there, I'm also the school's nurse you know." I said, while Max gave me another smile before shaking his head.
"Well, you could now say that even MedTech's can do a nurse's job." He chuckled.
"That's a joke by the way. No offense." Max said embarrassed.
"Thank you for saving me, once again."
