As they reached the bathroom, the sound of the screams became clearer and they changed from screams to laughter.
"What are you two doing ?" Elise asked as she and the other ladies reached the bathroom first. As I and my friends reached the bathroom, I saw a busted pipeline and water spraying out into the bathroom while the twins were jumping and dancing under this artificial rain.
Everyone sighed in relief knowing that it was nothing too dangerous.
"Today is really not a good day for my heart." Mrs Smith joked as she looked at the two ladies around her. Aunt May understood the signal and said "I'll pop open the Red Wine then…I heard it is good for the heart."
"Ryan get the twins dry…they might fall sick if they keep playing. The party hasn't even started yet. And Jared dear…just see if you can do something about the pipeline. I can't have the main bathroom in the house busted the same evening as a party." Mrs Smith said to which I had to nod yes because Aunt May's eyes were also on me.
"Ryan if possible, give some things a wipedown as well. Especially the medicine cabinet and the mirror." Aunt May requested.
I turned around towards Maya with a smirk on my face and handed her back the tape and scissors "Looks like we have our work cut out for us."
"And so do I." Ryan handed over the balloon packet to Derek "Hey you two…get out of the bathroom now." Ryan shouted as he tried to get his siblings out of the bathroom.
Maya and Derek also went back to their job. After struggling for a few minutes, and getting mostly wet, Ryan was able to get the twins out of the bathroom. As the bathroom got empty. I just peeked inside and turned the nob on the side clockwise, stopping the rain completely.
As everything quieted down, Ryan looked at me with his wet hair and said "You couldn't have done this earlier? I wouldn't have been soaked right now."
It was a good point but I was more engrossed in seeing the twins dance. I couldn't remember when was the last time I had such fun. Not in this life or the previous.
"It's your house…you are supposed to know it. Now go and dry yourself first or you'll spoil the floor here as well and Aunt May will make me clean it." I said as I entered the bathroom.
Since I had to disguise myself quite a lot in my past life, I was well-versed in menial tasks like plumbing and electrical work. With a toolbox under the wash basin, I got to work. It didn't take long for me fix the plumbing but while I was doing that, I heard the sound of whispering outside. I stopped everything I was doing and stuck my ear close to the wall. This wall was directly the back side of Ryan's house. Just beyond the wall was a narrow road. Not many people took those roads as it only had dumpsters and it had a risk of being mugged at Night. Because you can't call yourself a true New Yorker unless you get mugged at least once.
As I tried to hear what they were saying, the only words that caught my attention were Detective, kids, kidnap. These three words were more than enough to blare alarms in my head. I immediately dropped everything I was doing and left the bathroom. As I was leaving, I saw a crate of packaged bottles of water kept to the side.
'The Smiths must have brought these for the guests since not many trust tap water anymore. I should pick one in case I need it.' I thought and picked up a bottle and stepped out. I knew that if I go in the front, then I might have to face questions so I decided to go out of the back exit which was only used to throw out the trash.
After making sure that no one was following me, I looked in the direction of where the voices came from. Taking cover of the nearby dumpsters, I reached a little close and saw 2 Asian people trying to find a way to inside the house. Since the backside was a solid wall, their only option was to jump over the small fence on the side and then enter the house. The only problem was the side of the house was completely open and when closed, it was just a glass pane so they would be easily spotted if they tried to jump over the fence.
I sneaked closer to them to the extent that the distance between me and them was close to 7 meters. The dark atmosphere of the alley also played a big role and I made sure to be barefooted. I was more in danger of getting tetanus than getting caught by these two.
While I was this close, I heard the two of them talking and that made me realize how serious the matter was.
"What are we going to do? The female detective is inside the house and she might have a gun. We can't lure any of the Smith's kids from here and Boss told us to do this quietly." The first one said to which the second one responded "Quietly my ass, I think we should just rush in the house guns blazing and kill the detective first. The remaining ones will prove to be good hostages. We can take advantage of them as we want." He said with an evil smile. While these two were talking, none of them saw two streams of water floating in the air moving towards them from the back. It was hard for me to control two of them simultaneously but since the water wasn't turbulent at all, I was able to perform the task calmly. As I had only one 1L bottle and one chance to do this sneakily, I guided the streams of water to the back of their head and then I whistled.
Fweeeetttttt….
Both the goons looked back at the same time and with a single gesture from both my hands, the two streams entered their body through their nose. The goons were startled as something entered their nose. They wanted to step back but the water hitting their sinus passages caused them to feel pain and stand in the same place.
My work wasn't done because I didn't just want to hurt them…I wanted to hurt them badly. So with another gesture from my hand, I had the streams of water rush down into their windpipe. From the outside, I could tell if it was the windpipe or not but all I did was rush it down at extreme speed which caused them to inhale heavily making me confident that I had hit the jackpot. I kept the streams rushing into their lungs through their windpipe until the bottle was empty.
I knew the two of them had now seen me face to face and would want to chase after me but their body wouldn't allow them to do so. They were in a moment of panic and just as I thought instead of focusing on the problem at hand which was the water in their lungs, they decided to get away from the alley.
One of them spoke with utter discomfort "G-Get away from h-here…let's g-get to the c-car." They were having trouble breathing and even maintaining their balance. I was sure that their eyesight was also clouded due to the pain so they wouldn't be able to recognize me even if I came in front of them a few days later.
As I saw them stumbling and taking the support of the wall to move forward and try their best to breathe, I decided to make my escape.
Without wasting a single second, I picked up the bottle and I went back inside the house. Luckily no one was there as I got in which made me think that no one had noticed me leaving the bathroom.
After going a little inside the house toward the bathroom, I saw Aunt May standing outside with a cloth in hand looking around.
'Crap among all people…it had to be her.' I thought.
"Hey, Aunt May…the pipeline is fixed." I said as I walked behind her.
She immediately turned back and said "Oh…here you are. I came to see how much work was done and you were nowhere to be seen."
I showed her the empty bottle and said "I was just feeling a little thirsty so I came out. You don't need to worry…the leakage problem has been solved."
She looked back at the pipe which was creating the rain a few minutes ago and said "Hmm…that's great…I came to give you this cloth to clean the mirror as I told you but I ended up doing it myself."
She said while dangling the cloth in front of me. This is when I noticed a big difference in her behavior between me and Peter. Even though the time difference in our ages wasn't much, she treated him like a 5-year-old while I was treated like a 25-year-old. It wasn't discrimination or just playing favourites but I was curious as to why this difference…I never had a sibling in my past life.
