Chapter 38: Finding a clue

A challenge was in the detectives way, if he lost sight of the suspect, they might lose their chances of finding any clues on the kidnaps. His sword was in stance but he did not see the other guy fight.

"Reinforcement should be here soon, ok," she said, calling the police beforehand. The detective nodded, but they would not help him at all if he was dead. The brothers stood with sheer resilience, no.

The brother looks fine, probably had a short nap, getting knocked out by four thousand years of Chinese martial arts.

Charlotte, hopefully, was taking care of the owner of the place. He saw that the body was also moved away, this pleased him a lot.

He moved closer, and the two were leaning at each other but got to the stances, making them have the same stance. This confused Charlotte as she was looking at the battle that was about to unfold.

The first move was the two brothers, John moved forward while Jack distanced himself and walked to the left side, having his guard up. The sword covered the whole mid section of his body.

John was moving forward slashing multiple vaguer areas, his opponent dodged them all, the room was huge, so the detective moved out of the kitchen, but got stopped by Jack. He slashed from what he was protecting earlier. His eyes gave pleasure and happiness, like completing a hard mission.

This got cut, by one simple movement. He knew that John would slice him if he moved back, but he also knew that they planned to corner him. It was a good plan to, as they knew he would not go (there) left, as the rich guy was there.

So he would go right, and then both the two would be able to bring him down. However, they underestimated the person they are up against. You see the crime rate has no difference, just the same old same old.

But the crime rate listed or recorded is different, as many people actually find crimes, when the other does not, as not all crime is recorded, making many get away.

Detectives were created to stop evil intent, and the people had to just report it. Practically, he dodged it. And he did not use his sword, he just ducked and rolled.

This was a gamble as he did not know what he would do. So he used common sense, as he was used to the guy's attacks, and the rolling as he knew he could quickly change direction, so he rolled, as an extra safety measure.

He now was in the middle of the room, this gave him plenty of space to come up with a strategy. But they adapted fast and came after him. 

I know, staying alive is a good one. 

His own consciousness was maddening him. This made him analyse the two of them better.

Both having the same techniques and movement made them fight better together, like brothers. He saw mistakes by Jack though, hard to make out as his brother was covering him. He started mainly attacking Jack, while blocking John's attack. It made their teamwork erode a bit, but still good quality.

A dangerous combo was used by the pair. They made John make him stop moving, and with that they used Jack to finish him. It failed as the detective was even pinned down, he dodged it. By sliding off his sword, and even kicking him in retaliation.

The glow brightened on John's sword. Jack smiled as if they had a chance. The guy was pinned down by Charlotte, who did a grapple from her four thousand years of Chinese martial arts knowledge. He was not having the time of his life but it may change.

The detective was nervous by the increase of the glowy effect coming from his sword, and seeing the sword of Jack made him feel sorry, but they made a good team, he can say that much. Jack was exhilarated, as this did not happen often.

The increase in the glow made his sword stronger, like a transformation of some sort. The combined Jack and John duo rushed forward with great pride and honour ready to…

Get smacked on the floor.

The power of the detective was too strong for them, and the pair lay there, both having a dream of the same sort. The dream of being with each other forever, and far more than what is advised of a simple family relationship.

As the brothers were closer than ever. Jack leaned onto John's lap, and his hand was on top of his head. The police came, after an eternity. The detective had to explain everything, but mainly Charlotte. It was a long day and it started to get dark.

They would start the interrogation of the rich guy, he will also go to jail for ordering a murder, which took the life of Jayden, Jack and John were still alive until the nurse from the ambulance separated the two. It was an accident and luckily for her she would not go to jail, but the death of three people happened and the rich guy's business owner went to some stock user that bought it right when they were low, like knowing it would happen.

"So, what next?" Cahrottes curiosity peaked at the question, she was in a life and death situation and survived by pure luck and help.

The detective gave a reasonable answer to that," I am gonna take a bath," he said that with a bright and gleaming smile, it fully puzzled people that heard.
