Killer X 4 -Anarchy-

Chapter 4- Dead or Alive

I zoomed by my grapple sending me shooting across building to building I almost forgot the pure adrenaline-like feeling when doing this. I landed on the rooftop across the street from the bank, most of the building was chard and coated in a black coat I could smell the faint stench police were everywhere still cleaning the scene. "I need a way in..." I flipped my arm and in my panel, I touched stealth mode I jumped off grappling to the bank's rooftop and down into the window sunroof. As I touched boots against the floor I leaned against the wall two officers walking past but they didn't see me,
I snuck to the vault room but stopped as soon as I saw him...I couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on my face Owens back in action it seemed to be only him. I had to meet him if it was anyone I could get information about this case it was him, I flipped off stealth mode I was beside him. "Ah look who decided to show." Owens said placing something in an evidence bag I smiled "you're not startled easily huh old timer..."

"Son I'm getting to old to be in the startling phase just hit 40 last week." He looked up at me smiling lightly I gave a nod "listen Detective about what happened last ye-"

"Hey...no need to apologize..wouldn't be the first time a crook took a swing I'm just grateful I'm breathing."

"Same here...how uh...how's the family.."

"Since when do you care about personal lives."

"I always do..just never really got around to ask."

"Well..my wife and I are doing good and My son scored a big test he goes to New York to a special school left about a month ago."

"Really?..you must be proud."

"Always am." He let out a chuckle then looked behind him glancing back "you know I can lose my job even letting you breathe the same air as me without cuffing you."

"We both know why that's not gonna happen, detective."

"Yeah, your right."

"What you got?"

"For starters let me fill you in."

"Got that covered crooks burning down banks ..." I let out

"Not just burning." He extended his hand out showing me an evidence bag, I grabbed it looking at some plastic "Plastic sheeting?... Sorry detective I don't follow."

"I know my fair share in experience Plastic explosives ..C4 when ignited the explosive leaves a mass amount of gas...The forensic unit already found the room covered in it.."

"Why?.." I asked crouching next to him.

"It seems to get into the vault..only thing that trumps that is uh..the officer explained he let the group in.."

"So what's the use of it..were there safety boxes?"

"Nope..afraid not.."

"Do you mind if I can talk to the witness?" I asked Owens simply shook his head no
"I wish I could..but he's in prison for aiding and abetting," Owens responded

I stood up "that's a little overkill detective."

"He opened the door."

"Out of fear..." I argued

"Listen it wasn't our idea Mayors going crazy not being able to stop these guys he's digging way up to our asses.." Owens looked at me I sighed looking at the vault door. "Five minutes.."

"We cleaned out everything."

"Five minutes detective ...please ..." Owens nodded and walked away shouting to the other officers in the hall "That's break boys and girls you earned some coffee." I wasted no time sweeping the place clean going over everything I soon found something on the side of the vault door a fingerprint. I smirked and took out the small kit from my back pocket placing tape over it smoothing it out and the ripping it clean off I stuck another tape on the sticky side and placed it in the kit, as I crept through the hall evidence bags sat neatly on a table, I began grabbing things soon I heard footsteps and took whatever I could bolt the hell out of there.

"Your gut feeling might be on to something," Kat said as I entered the HQ placing all the stuff down on the glass table. "Oh yeah?" I replied walking up to the screen next to Kat
"So every bank they hit so far was a National Bank there are two more left though my guess is they're planning on another one... it's not both at the same time .."

"Look up the national funding for all four banks." I asked opening a pizza box and grabbing a slice, "okay..here!" She let out "The first bank they attacked had a total of 23.4 billion, second one 12.8 billion...the other two aren't as many ones got 17.4 million and this one even 12 million..."

"My guess is there hitting 17 mill it's obvious there hitting it in an order greatest time least amounts." I took a bite of pizza Kat looked at me proudly "welcome back boss...I was afraid you'd be rusty." She let out folding her arms I smirked taking another bite "it seems there's a week cool down but I know if I were a robber I'd take the advantage while I can let them stay focused on the other bank so keep your eyes peeled."

"Can do."

"Oh, and I brought you something to do until the meantime." I showed her the kit with the fingerprint stained on the tape. "You shouldn't have my birthdays, not til next week." She grinned grabbing it "I'll leave you to it." I took yet another bite of my snack and walked out....
