Drag Joke

The first mishap I noticed was the position of the body;

When a bullet passes through a body, its force eventually causes the body to recoil towards the direction of its motion.

But strangely, Unhole's head was tilted towards the direction of his hand which held the gun, whereas the head should have tilted in the opposite direction.

'The killer was in a hurry it seems,' June whispered studying the body posture and smirked.

Indeed, the murderer left the body in a bad position.

'It seems he is new in this line,' Jake murmured sarcastically.

Who jokes at a crime scene? Ahem... We do.

And the second mishap I noticed was a black leather boots that were peeking out from the office cabinet. The innocent soul didn't know his toes were too long to be hidden inside a plank.

There were two possibilities; the killer might know he was visible to us or he might not. We had to make an instant plan which would flow with both.

All of us in the room were quiet except for the clock in the room. It clicked and resonated as the second hand chased the minute hand. We inhaled and exhaled before looking at each other, taking conformation and building a formation in front of the cabinet.

'Take your position', Jake showed a sign with his hand and we nodded. 

Except for Jake, the three of us freed our guns from the holster and held the trigger. Jake extended his hand to count up to three, 1... 2... 3... 'Shoot'

Bang.. Bang.. Bang..

The dark room lit as we three shoot at once. The door to the cabinet was made of ordinary plywood, hence the bullet easily passed through it and made nine holes.

We individuals fired three bullets and saved the other, but strangely no sound of agony came from inside.

Was the man dead without even causing a noise?

As the silence became invincible, we held our breath with suspense.

One second pass

Two seconds pass

Three seconds...

Four seconds...

Five seconds...

BOOM!

The door to the cabinet was kicked open and a man stood over there in the dark. From the side of my eyes, I noticed he wore a bulletproof vest and a white mask over his face.

Jake was ready for this situation, he immediately jumped towards the main door to block the man and professionally took the gun out of his holster.

"Freeze!" He commanded the criminal.

But he didn't heed, of course, he wouldn't. The man with the brave heart sprinted out of the cabinet along with the files stacked in it.

The files flew across the room with the whisk of the air, while the man flew for an alternative exit in the room.

All the windows were grilled, hence making it impossible for him to pass.

Wait, he couldn't have entered through the main door, nor came from the windows. Then where did he come from?

I ran behind him and attempted to grab the strips to his vest but before I could reach him the masked man made a leap to the wall opposite to the main door, placed his foot on the switchboard and hanged himself on the ceiling.

The wood inclined towards the ceiling and he dragged himself inside the closed area. 

Jake fired but not a single bullet shredded his skin.

Since, I was nearest to the man, as soon as he leapt and hung himself on the ceiling, I jumped and hanged myself on one of his long legs.

One of the disadvantages of being a tall criminal.

The man stopped his movement for a fraction of a second and looked at me. I thought it was difficult for him to lift, hence I took advantage of the situation and wiggled my legs to drag both of us down.

But how wrong I was!

The man not only dragged himself but took me along with his one leg. My eyes widened with the core strength of this man and my brain went blank for a second with bewilderment.

It took me a moment to realise that I was hanging like a monkey on a criminal's leg while he was dragging me up. 

"What the hell are you all doing? Watching a circus show! Drag me down, instant!" I shouted at the top of my lungs and held the man's leg tighter than before. I have to drag him down with me!

Jake and Orqle grabbed my legs and June held my hips. They collectively started pulling me and I felt the man losing his grip. 

But when I the man finally gave up on four people, Jake's hand slipped from my pants and he fell on the ground opening one of my shoes.

The loss of balance instantly dragged me up again and made Orqle slip too, thankfully, he didn't open my shoe.

But unfortunately, June was determined to drag both of us down and hence as her hand were unable to reach my hips this time, she grabbed my pants.

As the man went upward, I went upward, June remained in her position BUT my pants were going lower.

"Fuck June, you will open my pants NOW!" I said realising before she humiliated me. Who needs an enemy when you have friends like June, Oh my god!
