Tangled Vengeance (On Break)

Chapter 8

RECAP

Luke and Ethan walk into the hospital.

Ethan walks up to the front desk.

Ethan: "Hey, would it be alright if I could check "James Smith's office?""

Ethan shows the front desk clerk his badge.

Clerk: "Please go ahead, we've been worried about James."

Clerk: "You'll find his office on the 3rd floor. Once you get out of the elevator, take a right, then one more right. His office will be the second door on the left."

Luke and Ethan take the elevator and walk towards the office.

Luke: "Why is his light off?"

Ethan: "Well, he's not in the office, so it makes sense."

Luke: "But EVERYONE else's light is on."

Ethan: "Well, let's just go in there and see."

Ethan walks inside James's office.

???: "So predictable."

Ethan and Luke walk into a room with 3 people, one sitting in James's office chair, and the other two pointing guns at Luke and Ethan.

Chapter 8

???: "Hands up, both of you."

Ethan and Luke put their hands up.

Operator: "What's going on?"

Luke: "IT'S A TRA-"

???: "Shut it."

???: "Pat them down, boys."

Luke looks over to Ethan.

They both subtly nod their heads.

The two men go to Luke and Ethan to pat them down.

Ethan knocks the gun that one of the men had out of their hands and pulls out his pistol, grabbing one of the men, putting them in a one-armed chokehold with the gun to his head.

???: "You sure you wanna do that? We still got your friend."

Luke: "I mean, not really."

The unknown man and the 2 armed men show a confused expression.

Luke, with his fast hands, palms the gun out of the man's hand that was aiming his weapon at him and punches him in the jaw, knocking him out.

Ethan: "Sir, you're under arrest for threatening an officer's life and being a possible accomplice to the murder of James Smith."

???: "Can you really do anything to me? I never technically threatened you myself, nor is there any proof of me murdering this James... Smith?"

???: "Also, take that gun away from my subordinate's head. You can't kill him anyways, isn't that your law?"

Operator: "Damn it, he's right. It's just an accusation with no solid evidence, and he also never drew any weapons against you."

Ethan: "Curses."

Ethan knocks out the man with the bottom of his pistol.

The man with the unknown identity laughs.

???: "Well, that was fun. I always enjoy messing with you guys."

The unknown man walks to the window ledge and freefalls off.

Luke looks over the window and doesn't see him.
