Criminal Record

Unexpected Visitor

His thoughts were disturbed when Zack parked the car in front of the storage. He looked out of the window at the storage, before he got out of the car. All of them stood out, stretching and walked towards the back of the car. Zack fetched his screwdriver and extirpated the car plates, and threw it aside. “Just for security purposes.” He claimed. “Here we go, just a few steps from seeing our babes.” Tucker said excitedly. They fetched the bags, and laid them out of the car, they started carrying them towards the storage. They walked at the storage’s main door, carrying all the bags. “Wait, I don’t remember leaving the door open.” Clay warned them. “Elsa should be inside, she probably forgot to close it back.” Kaito said. “No, I clearly underlined on closing it.” Clay said with a low voice. “Why are you so worried?” Kaito asked, walking towards the semi-closed door, and kicked it open.

“Our barbarian criminals have arrived.” Victor Nate shouted, and chuckled. All of them entered the storage with the bags on their shoulders, “Don’t bother hiding the bags. Lay them down.” Victor said, when Clay attempted to leave his bags outside. They walked inside to find Victor Nate holding a pistol in his hand, the storage was covered by his armed men. Elsa, Kelly and Kay were sitting at the end, threatened by one of his men, they were taken as hostages, they were unharmed, but unfree as well. “Kelly!” Clay shouted and started running towards her, but every single man in the storage revolved their guns, and aimed them at Clay. Clay stopped, and retreated few steps to stand beside his friends.

Victor started moving in front of Clay, “So, Clay Thompson, you thought you could get away after stealing my money. You thought I wouldn’t find you?” Victor asked, mocking Clay. Clay started breathing heavily. “Or you were taking revenge for your brother's eye, that I took away from him?” He spoke coldly, and provocatively. “I honestly don’t know what you were thinking, when you tried your audacious move. So, normally in movies, I see them take one hostage at a time to threaten, but I have taken three. Your wife, your kid, and that woman I found in here when I came in.” He stated. “You promised me.” Kelly called out in her cries.

Victor started speaking sharply, “Here is the thing, I want my money back, every penny. When everything returns to me, I’ll let them go.” He said. “You think we are afraid of you?” Tucker asked boldly. “Your problem Tucker, is that you underestimate me. You think a man with a suit can’t do what thieves do. You also know what is your problem? You speak more of what you can do.” He insulted Tucker. “I am not the coward who is shielding behind his men. You know who wins in a man to man fight, you know who would have lost his eye.” Tucker replied savagely. Victor revolved his gun, stepped forward and aimed it at Tucker's head. “You think I won’t kill you?” Victor asked Tucker fiercely. Clay moved some wide steps to stand in front of his brother, facing the gun, “No, I think you are not going to kill me.” Clay said fearlessly.

Kaito was unusually, and unexpectedly silent since he got in and discovered the situation, but he intended not to grab attentions. He bit his lips, facing the ground, “Didn’t I say Elsa was out of it?” He asked while raising his face from the bottom to face Victor. His sharp tone caused everyone to hear him and focus with him, without exerting any effort to grab their attentions. “I know Kaito, but...” Clay started vindicating, but he was intercepted by Kaito’s phrase. “I wasn’t speaking to you. The rules apply for everyone.” He said stridently, and smiled at Victor. The rest didn’t understand anything, but they saw Victor Nate trembling, which even caused more fear to his own men. Victor knew about Kaito as well, so he was aware of his capabilities. In fact he was aware of all their capabilities.

All of a sudden they felt a shake in the ground, and they started hearing a sound metal clanking, like metal craps being hit by a hammer. The sound started becoming louder and clearer, as if it was a machine getting closer. Suddenly a tank broke into the wall of the storage, breaking a lot of bricks, everyone started ducking, and Victor's men started firing blindly and hurrying out of the room. A man emerged his head, and then the rest of his upper body from the tank's chamber. “Well, the boy called me, then the situation is tough.” The man said with a victorious, and fearless smile. He was an old man, he was Kaito’s coach.

Kaito smiled, “I knew you would press that button.” The coach said. “I knew you would come.” Kaito replied, with a relieved voice. Victor was standing in front of the tank's cannon in confusion more than disbelief, he knew it was the end, but in his opinion it was so quick and unexpected. A woman entered the storage out of nowhere, “I am agent Jane Spencer, FBI. Well, Victor Nate you are under arrest.” She said, walking through everyone and reaching out to Victor. “I didn’t do anything, my men, they caused all the trouble.” Victor confessed upon his men. “Don’t worry about that, my men are arresting all of them on the outside, no one was fast enough to escape.” Agent Jane said. “You are accused for the bank heist, and taking three innocents as hostages.” Agent Jane added.

She started looking all around her to see everything else, “Agent Don Hart, take the criminal, I have some investigations here.” Agent Jane Spencer called out. “We are going to meet again Clay Thompson.” Victor claimed, with a sharp, throaty voice. “Yes we will.” Clay replied boldly. “Mr. Thompson, may I ask you some questions?” Agent Jane asked. “I am not going to speak about this, it’s not something I understand. It’s your property you can do whatever.” She said referring to the tank. “But let me ask about those bags. You want to convince me that they don’t include the money stolen from the Green Park Bank?” She said offensively. Everyone's face turned red, their tongues felt heavier, but Clay volunteered to reply. “You can check yourself.” Clay said, with a smile drawn on his face, and cleared the way for her.

The agent started moving towards the bags, all of them were looking with confusion at Clay, he ignored all the eyes looking at him, and focused with the agent's movement. Agent Jane Spencer kneeled downwards and unzipped the first back, they were as surprised as her to find clothes. She started pulling the clothes out, but they were just clothes after clothes, she emptied the whole bag and concussed it for insurance. The rest started getting relieved by Clay’s smile, and the agent's surprise. She started unzipping the rest of the bags gently, with her total elegance maintained to find more clothes inside each bag. She stood up, and looked at Clay, “I guess we are not going to have you yet.” She mentioned. “I would be pleased if you could clear up my mess.” She added and got out of the storage, wriggling through the thrown clothes.

Victor Nate and his men were taken by the FBI, and agent Jane Spencer left with them. Elsa and Kay started getting up, but Kelly remained on the ground, she was collapsed. “What is my fucking clothes doing here?” Kaito asked with a loud tone, but he was ignored by the astonishment of everyone. “How could you do this? How could you let your son see you as a criminal?” Kelly asked with a broken voice, her hand covered her face, and she started crying. Clay was just about to get emotional, but he was surprised by Kay’s reaction. “What are you talking about? Daddy wasn’t a criminal he was a badass.” Kay said in pride, and started running towards his father.

Kay hugged Clay, and then looked at his mother, “Why are you crying? Dad is a hero, you saw him protecting uncle Tucker? Oh my god, he was like you won’t kill me. He was awesome.” The kid spoke to his mother. He was describing his father's honour lively, running everywhere, proud of his father and reckoning him as a hero. He hugged his father again, Clay got sensational, he felt the best feeling he could get, he felt a hero. “Hey uncle Tucker!” Kay greeted, in his father's arms. “Hey kid.” Tucker replied with a true smile.
