Episode 59

“Hey Brian, can you come over?" Ace asked. “Sure, I'll be there by noon. Just have to do something first.. " Brian replied. “Alright, see yah!" Ace said. The phone call ended. He continued with cleaning and laundry.

Ace hasn't done this before. Though he helps Jane often when she was here, He had neither cleaned the whole house nor do the laundry alone before. He was very tired when he finished everything.

He turned on the TV and rested on the couch. As expected, the news of yesterday's incident was all over the channels. Ace was bored and also tired, He decided to get some rest.

He had barely shut his eyes when he heard a knock. “Brian?, no it's definitely not him. Perhaps it's Annie or My boss!?" Ace pondered. He stood up and reluctantly walked to the door.

He suddenly thought it might be an intruder. Ace quickly grabbed his pistol and hid it in his pants. He slowly opened the door. “Morning sir. Sorry for disturbing you, Are you Mr Ace?" A man asked. He dressed casually and didn't seem to be a threat.

He was holding a parcel. “yeah, am Ace. How can I help you?" Ace asked. “Can you please sign here? " He asked holding a book and pen. Ace took them and signed. “This is for you, good bye and have a good day! " the man said and walked away.

“Weird, what's this?” Ace asked himself. He walked in and shut the door.

Ace walked back to the couch and dropped it on a table. He went to the kitchen and came back holding a knife. He cut the parcel open..

“What in the world is this!?" Ace exclaimed. There were some money in the parcel but were fake!. “Oh, a note?” Ace said and picked up a white paper. “Hey Ace, I received the money. Thank you so much for the Money. You forgot the bag at the bar yesterday. I was surprised to see wards of cash in it and was disappointed to find them fakes. I would have reached you if I had your contact or something. Once again, thanks for the money. I don't know why you sent me so much money!" Ace reads out.

“Thought I forgot the stupid bag back at the bank. Didn't know It was at the bar! " Ace said to himself. “Oh there's more at the back of the paper?" Ace said when he saw some more words written on the back of the paper.

“Oh, it's just his E-mail..." Ace said. “Such a weirdo. I might contact you later!" Ace said and pushed the parcel Aside. He then proceeded to enjoy his peaceful nap..

The day went on normally for Ace until noon. He was expecting Brian to show up any moment. Few hours of waiting passed on And he still didn't show up. Ace dialed his number once more but he didn't pick up.

He finally gave up and decided to go rest. Ave suddenly paused when he heard a knock. “Finally!" Ace said and brightened up. He walked to the door and opened it. “What took you so...What he heck!" Ace exclaimed in shock. His boss was standing right in front of him.

“What, you were expecting a sexy lady to show up?" Carl asked. “sorry sir. Good to see you. Come in please.." Ace said. Officer Carl walked in slowly.

“Heard A bank was robbed yesterday? " Carl asked. “Yes sir. But I only heard it was an explosion. Didn't know it was a robbery.." Ace said. “it was a robbery. They left not a tiny piece of clue. The room which the monitors which was connected to the security camera was destroyed!" Carl said.

“This are professional criminals! " Ace exclaimed. “Yes, so disappointing none of them were even spotted when this all happened!" Carl said. “Wow, how were the explosives planted in the banks. Thought the security there was tight? " Ace asked.

“My ass is tighter than their security. Just some bunch of old fools. What were they expecting!? " Carl said mockingly. “How are we gonna find the criminals now?" Ace asked. “i don't know. We'll try our best to find something tangible. You would have been of great help if only you don't have your own unsolved investigation .." Carl said.

“How is it going, anything yet?" He asked. “We've captured moments he was out in opening on security cameras. Give it time and he's gonna get his sorry ass in jail!" Ace replied. “Good, and your partner?" Carl asked.

“Brian is doing great. He was supposed to show up here though.. " Ace said. The door suddenly opened and Brian walked In. “Oh, he's here!" Ace said and brightened up. “Good evening sir!" Brian said to his boss.

“Good evening detective..." Carl said. “Hey.." Brian said to Ace. Ace nodded and smiled. “You guys seems to be getting along now..." Carl said. Ace and Brian nodded simultaneously.

“Good for you. You have to work together if you really wanna catch this man.." Carl said. “Yeah, we're getting closer in finding him. We're gonna get him very soon! " Brian said.

“Alright!. I'll leave you two now, I have some things to do..." Officer Carl said and stood up. “Thanks for stopping by sir! " Ace said. He walked out.

They paused and listened as he drove away. “it's high time we finish him up!" Ace said. “yes, we should finish this quickly! " Brian replied. “What's your plan?" He asked.

“I took a good look around back at the place. Out of ten I'll give his security six..." Ace replied. “six?, that's tight! " Brian exclaimed. “I've dealt with eight and even nine. This is no new thing to me!" Ace replied. “Oh, okay..." Brian said.

“Yeah, so. We'll attack them at dawn when they're still asleep. We'll kill every single one of them. And if we're questioned why we killed them, we'll claim they fired first and we had to take action!" Ace said.

“Alright, you have enough arms? " Brian asked. “Hell yeah, I do!" Ace replied.
