Back at the RPD, Bob approached me by the entrance and he wanted to tell me something:
"You won’t believe me Jay, I was put on the case and hear me this: Chief Myers said that you and me will bust a new case, haha! Isn’t that great?"
"A new case? Tell me about it", I said, while I was eating my donut.
"Before I tell you that, let me get a pinch of your donut. Hmm, hmm! So good!" Bob chewed a lot more than I did.
"Bob, you forgot something. The case, where is it?"
"Oh! Yeah! Sorry about that. Did you know that the Rushford Laboratory has been robbed? It’s been all over the journals! Take a look at this: ‘Rushford laboratory was being robbed with unidentified samples two weeks ago. A sinister-looking man has broken into with his gun slinging and killing all the researchers. The Rushford Police Chief Mr. Myers promised that he’ll be able to put some of his forensic experts as detectives for the shocking incident that happened.’ Jay, this is our time to bring out that crime and reveal who’s the man behind that. Look at me now Jay; I got my holster and my gun on. Are you ready to rock?” Bob said, while he was bragging about his police wear.
"Bob, I’ll handle this myself. I can take care of this.” I told him.
"Come on now Jay, don’t go soft on me. Don’t you know yet that we’re always into this together? Come on! Is that coffee bothering you again? I told you a million times that you need to end your coffee fantasies! Give it up!"
"Bob, can’t you see that I’m not drinking it right now? Okay Bob, just go to your post because I’m going to get there now. Just tell Chief that I’m still in this case. Don’t worry, I’ll beep you if something goes wrong", I said, while I was getting myself back in the car.
Bob looked at me like he’s being rejected.
"Come on Bob! Oh yeah. This is yours now. Don’t cry. It’s not yet the end of the world.” I told him, as I gave him the box of donuts.
"Okay Jay, I understand that I’m just your sidekick. Just get back here alive", Bob said, and then, he entered back in the building.
I backtracked again at Rushford Laboratory to find any clues. Apparently, there was a parked police car at the side of the lab. I wonder whose car’s it.
I stepped out of the car and walked towards the entrance. Suddenly, I heard someone talking on the other side of the door:
"Chris, it’s an honor to meet you here. Say, what brings you to this place?” an unknown voice said.
Chris? Chris was here, but who was talking to him? I better got to have a closer look. I tiptoed near the door and exposed my right ear near the keyhole to listen to their conversation.
"Long time no see, my good brother. I saw and heard that you’re responsible for stealing the samples and giving it to your boss. Was that true?"
That should be Chris who’s speaking right now. Brother? But he told us that his brother died many years ago. I couldn’t believe this. Wait.
"Haha! You’re still quite a joker. After all, you’re now the headline cop of the police force. What a guy!” an unknown voice spoke again.
"You’re still not answering my question. Was that true that you’re the one responsible for that mess? Tell me the truth!"
"You know Chris; we have our separate ways now. You and I are not in the same level that we used to dream about. Not anymore Chris. If you still want to dream big again, you must join me. We’re both going to destroy this city and rule! Isn’t that amazing Chris? You, I and Sir Halford will be indestructible!"
"I like your offer, that’s why I’m getting tired now of bailing you whenever crimes begin to sprout. I always have a nerve that you’re the causes of it. So, why are you still lying to me now? I’m a cop! And I have a responsibility of busting anyone!"
"I always hate your style Chris. It’s always degenerating. You speak more fluent than I do. Why don’t you get me straight to the point? Are you going to join me or not?"
There was a minute of silence afterwards. I couldn’t believe that Chris was working with his own criminal brother!
Suddenly . . .
"I’m now getting tired of talking to you, Chris. I talk too much now. Think about what I asked you", his brother ended the conversation
I ran to my car quickly and sped back to the headquarters. I got to tell everyone before Chris would brainwash them!
