All Strings Attached

Chapter 14

Bright pulled the breaks around an abandoned area and stopped the car. Gun and him were panting due to all the hardwork. They glanced at each other and chuckled which soon changed into loud laughs.

"That was adventurous" Gun said between his laughs.

"Adventurous my ass" Bright replied, his laugh almost chocking his voice "Today we all were done for"

"Yeah I honestly thought it was the end " Gun replied, his laugher dying down now. He looked at Bright with admiration "You're amazing"

"A brother always come for help when its needed" Bright replied, smiling at the staring wheel. He learnt these words from his dad.

"Brother helps but brother doesn't let Gun touch him. I am sad " Gun said, faking a pout and put his face on Bright's neck who raised his leg and kicked Gun back, his face still smiley and playful

"Damn it. We were so close !" Type said frustrated as he shut his car's door, walking towards his house.

"Good job Son" Mr Metawin said, following Type along Officer Zee "Your sharp observation helped us a lot today"

"How did you predict their move?" Zee asked, walking behind them.

Type knocked at his own house's door and sighed, turning back to Zee " One of my friend told me of a good hardware store. I wasn't planning to go there but I got off work early so decided to check it anyway. On my way, I happened to stop by the jewellery store road and felt some of the guys were acting suspicious around the store. And I called for backup on my instinct"

Zee nodded, impressed. Type joined the police force just a month ago but his skills were good and already professional.

They entered the house and were immediately met by worried Mrs Metawin.

"I saw on TV!" She exclaimed worried "Are you all okay?"

Mr Metawin assured her their safety when Win and Saint came down running from upstairs.

"You okay?" They both asked in union.

Type nodded and Zee passed Saint a reassuring smile .

"What happened?" Saint asked, looking at Mr Metawin who sighed and patted Saint's back "Nothing Son. We couldn't catch them"

He said and they moved towards the kitchen, probably too exhausted to talk. Saint and Zee were left alone in the living room.

"Was anyone hurt?" Saint asked as soon as the room went quiet. Zee shook his head.

"I wish I could help"  Saint said with a frown. He looked frustrated.

Zee snickered and patted Saint's head "You focus on your college"

"But I'm already 19! I don't want to sit around quietly" Saint replied.

"Why don't you come tomorrow to the police station?" Zee asked affectionately and smiled as Saint's eyes lit up. "I'll teach you some details"

"I will!" He said, excited. Zee shook his head , chuckling. Saint was about to walk away when Zee suddenly called him back.

"Ah Saint?" He said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

"Yeah?" Saint asked,  stopping abruptly.

"Uh.. About the idea you gave me. To confess with sweets" Zee said and forced out a soft laugh "Yeah that didn't really work. Do you like recommend any thing else?"
