Part 18

Jake and Steve quietly waited inside in the elevator to reach their floor, the two men continued talking about what it is like to be an Avenger and a detective.

The elevator cart reached the floor with a ding as the elevator doors opened. Oliver still sat at Jake's desk tinkering away at the computer, "Hey guys!" Oliver smiled as Steve set the slice of pizza in front of the boy.

"Thanks, Steve! Hey, Jake? Why is there a cookie inside of your computer?" Oliver asked pulling a small mouldy chocolate chip cookie for inside the framing on the computer.

"Oh! I was wondering where that cookie had gone!" Jake replied taking the old cookie out of Oliver's hand and taking a bite.

"How long has that cookie been in there and how did it even get in there?" Steve asked with a disgusted look on his face.

"I will be honest, I don't know!" Jake explained with a laugh.

Oliver continued to work away at the computer, Steve had gotten in a conversation with Captain Holt as the boy was sat under the desk.

"Nice to meet you, Captain." Steve chuckled, the two captains continued to talk about work and similar topics.

"Jake, can you grab me a glass of water or something, please?" Oliver asked with his hand poking out from underneath the desk, "Sure, what kind of soda?" he said tossing a coin around in his and as he walked towards the vending machine.

"You pick!" Oliver chuckled.

After a few minutes, Jake returned with a red soda-can in his hand and a blue can in his other.

"Red or blue soda?" Jake asked holding the two cans of soda out towards Oliver, "I'll take the coca-cola, please." Oliver flipped the tab of the can open and took a sip.

The next few seconds were so fast nobody could react. Jake noticed a smoke-like effect coming out of the plant while he and Oliver were eating some candy together, "Captain Holt!" Jake yelled fearfully quickly gaining the attention of the captains inside the office.

"Detective Peralta, what is wrong?" Holt asked coming out of the office with Steve close behind him before Jake could reply, the bomb blew.

"Everyone down!" Jake yelled quickly acting on instincts.

Jake quickly jumped on top of the boy to protect him from the bomb, within seconds two other bombs went off as well.

As the dust began to settle, Jake looked around the precinct to see everyone in shock and shaking from anxiety.

"Jake?" Oliver quietly said fear in his voice, "What the fuck just happened." Oliver whispered.

Oliver began to shake, "I don't know, it's going to be okay." Jake replied. The two stayed on the ground as they brushed the dust off of them.

"Where is Steve?" Oliver asked, "He was outside Holt's office, he can't be that far." Jake whispered inside the complete silence.

The two crawled over to Steve and Captain Holt. When Steve noticed a large gash on Oliver's face, he quickly pulled the boy into a hug want to protect Oliver.

"Dad, what just happened?" Oliver asked wrapping his arm around Steve. "I don't know, Ollie. Just stay quiet for a little longer, okay?" Oliver nodded.

Everyone just sat there in silence for quite a few minutes before Captain Holt got up to address what the hell just happened, "Attention, we are going to move everyone into the briefing room." Captain Holt started as everyone slowly got up and walked into the briefing room.

Everyone was squished into the room with many of the familiar detectives; Jake, Rosa, Charles and Terry.

They came up to Oliver and hugged the boy, Oliver and Jake were standing directly beside on the bomb which was inside of a glass cup. The glass broke for the explosion with some of it hitting Oliver's face causing the large gash across his cheek.

Peter's senses were going crazy, he had this weird feeling in his guts for a couple hours now.

"What's wrong, Peter?" May asked noticed her nephews clear distress, "I'm not sure, I've got this weird feeling in my gut, May. I think something happened to Oliver, but I don't know. I could just be paranoid about the accident last week." Peter replied sucking on air through his teeth.

"Peter, I am sure that Oliver is just fine. Plus he is with his cop friends and Steve, so even if he was in danger, there are people there to protect him." May said placing her hand on Peter's shoulder with a comforting squeeze.

After a couple minutes of waiting in the briefing room, Jake and Captain Holt found the three so-called-bombs which were actually wrist-watches.

"We've found the bombs and you are allowed to leave now." Captain Holt addressed, "Hey can I see that?" Oliver asked pointing at the bag.

Oliver examined the three broken watches, "Steve, these are the stolen watches!" Oliver realized pointing out the details. Oliver pulled up a hologram of his blueprint out of his own watch.

"FRIDAY, get Tony on the phone."
