(Cricket was the one who said she wanted more coffee.)
"Hello? Ah, Hartley, how are you? What's going on?"
I updated him on the situation.
"Ducked into a bar you say and talked to a strange man?"

"Yea, I couldn't make out what they were saying... but judging from the body language, I'd say she knew him from somewhere" I explained.
"Interesting; any ideas who it could be?" Gunnarson asked.
"Not really; so any updates on your end?" I asked.
"Oh yes; in fact, the first thing I need to tell you about is..."

"...that the Ronald Wright case is sealed and shut."
"Oh good."
"But Butcher Hall was found killed."
"Well that's no help."
"Perhaps, perhaps not."

"So the short answer is- the dirty four are all dead?" I asked.
"Indeed. We've managed to straighten out some of these cases, but others need work" Gunnarson explained
"What now then?" I asked

"As far as you are concerned, keep watch over the girl. That's all."
"Well that seems simple enough I guess..."

But at that moment, I was beginning to have some thoughts about all this. "Say, Gunnarson, what's the deal with me guarding her anyway? You said you needed my help on all this and all I'm doing is babysitting? Why am I doing a job that belongs to the police?" I asked.

"They have their own worries, plus I trust you. You anyways seem to have bonded quite well with her from what I hear."

"Perhaps; I just wish I had some idea of what the heck is going on; It is very frustrating you know, having next to no idea why we have to go through with this" I pointed out.

"Like I told you... I believe that someone is planning to kill her. That's why I want you to keep guard over her."

"Fair enough; I just hope we figure out what is going on soon... what started as a simple murder has quickly devolved into complete chaos" I said.
After hanging up, I laid down on the bed and thought about everything that had happened.
......
Wallace was pacing in pure frustration; Drugg wasn't waking up, Cody was dead, all the people they could have gone too for money were dead, and Jeremy and Kinkaid couldn't exactly do much on their own. He had no idea what to do now; he was out of options

Suddenly a car smashed into the building.
"What the-"
A man fell out.
"Christ, Lewis! You're drunk!"
He was also dead.

Jeremy and Kinkaid came running in to the area. "What the heck happened?!" they screamed.
"Damn Lewis; I told him not to drive drunk! Now we could very well be compromised!" Wallace said in frustration.
"What was he even doing?" Jeremy asked.
"I was hoping to recruit him to our cause, but seems that's moot now" Wallace said frustrated.
"So what can we do then? For that matter, what about Drugg?" Kinkaid asked.

"He's still asleep. How do we fix the fricking wall is the big concern..."
-----------
Adolf Gunnarson was surprised to see a car crash into a house. Picking up his pace he went to see if everyone was alright.

"I leave my home to go for a walk for 20 minutes and THIS happens?" He thought to himself as he got closer.
"Hello? Everyone all right?" he asked.

"Eh? Who is that?"
"Miserable prick! Damn it!"
"Hello? Oh there you..." Gunnarson stopped dead in his tracks. His mind went numb. His eyes widened. His mouth gaped.
There on the floor was Dr. Drugg.

Three people had lifted him out of a bed, and they were trying to carry him away; but in the confusion they had dropped him
Gunnarson saw one of the three and immediately recognized who it was; he drew his service revolver and pointed it right at him; he normally wouldn't do this but given who he was dealing with, he wasn't taking a single chance.
"Anthony Wallace! You and your Black Scorpion cronies are under arrest!" Gunnarson said as he began approaching the assembled group.

Just then, a shot rang out and pierced an unsuspecting bullet in his leg, knocking him to the ground, and dropping his revolver... "Argh!" he screamed out in pain A truck soon pulled up on the scene, with two men in the back beckoning the Black Scorpion to get inside, with reluctance, they followed suit... "Who the hell are you lot?" asked Wallace "Don't you recognize my men?" laughed the driver "Butcher Hall?" asked Jeremy "In the flesh..." laughed the Broker "I thought you were dead?" asked a shocked Kinkaid "I set up a trap with a loyal subordinate of mine, led me to who's behind all this... Anyway, we have to get you lot out of here, with the rest of Dirty Four gone, our plan won't be able to run as smoothly without them, but Drugg's still our most important asset..." answered Hall as the truck disappeared down London's streets, and out of Gunnarson's view... Part II:
The Underground Rises ..... "Damn it Blade! we almost had them if Gunnarson hadn't showed up!" yelled an angry Finn as he slammed a whiskey bottle and fist on the table "I know, getting the man here to be intoxicated, then drugging his liquor, was not an easy task, that damn detective showing up out of nowhere sure is a menace to our plans..." conceded Blade Back to Gunnarson... |

"You can't arrest us, you damn Swedish detective!"
"On the contrary, Adolf Gunnarson," said Jeremy, would had sneaked up on him from behind and now held a pistol to his neck, "we can take you as a hostage..."

Police had arrived at the house; with Gunnarson injured he was taken to a hospital as detectives and officers began looking over the scene.
Gent heard the news, and when asked if he wanted to go to the crime scene.
"No... just no. I can't, it's too much. Just do your job and I'll read the report when it's submitted" Gent said, burying his face in his hands as he sat in his desk; he couldn't believe that Gunnarson would get injured doing something like that.

"He he he..." he said. "Looks like it's time..."
-----------------
"Oooh..." Gunnarson moaned.
