Chereads / The Secret Of The Nation / Chapter 8 - Partners

Chapter 8 - Partners

"Emilia! Emilia, listen to me, our nation is in danger and I, Bruster McChafeur heavily require your assistance!" I shout.

"Calm your horses, I know who you are." Emilia speaks as she removes my blindfold bag.

My vision clears and I can finally see what's in front of me.... It is a completely messed up room with a broken lamp on the floor, a scorch mark on the wall, the TV hanging for dear life on one nail and some bedsheets and clothes lying on the floor.

And right in front of me stands Emilia clad in a white tank top and black jeans with messed up ginger hair. But as soon as I finish viewing my surroundings Emilia goes back towards a suitcase kept near the far side of the bed. She starts rummaging through the suitcase and pulls out a small tab.

"Let's see, Bruster McChafeur, the worst detective produced by the CIAH in the last 5 years! Dude, you need to work on your skills! As a detective, you have--"

She is cut off by me abruptly speaking," Got 40 cases out of which I have failed 30, and narrowly avoided dying in 15 of them." Emilia shows me a low thumbs up, and continues," Anyway, what in the bright mind is the CIAH thinking sending you on this high-profile case?"

I speak," I was the only--"

Suddenly I hear 3 drop noises in quick succession from behind my back.... Emilia shouts," A flash bang! Cover your ears! I quickly put my hands on my ears...

Boom, A loud sound and a bright light is produced. Suddenly I hear a voice behind me," Look who it is, our best female detective, Emilia Fisher, and who is this showing his back to me?"

I turn around my seat slowly till only the point he can see me and I can't see him.

The voice continues now getting more and more familiar," Oh... what are you doing here, Bruster!" I quickly turn around completely to see him..

It is Julian, he is clad in light armor with camo pants and a bulletproof vest... he is holding a .44 Magnum in his right hand and on his left pocket are three stashed knives.

Suddenly Emilia calls out," Bruster, through here! She points towards the window. This causes Julian to shift his gun towards her and then smirk," Oh no, you don't!"

In a flurry, I take out my ring shocker and point it towards Julian and say," Oh no, YOU don't!"

Julian looks back at me slowly which gives me enough time to activate it and then a click and a buzz, 7 rings of electricity are thrown across the room creating a shock environment.

Suddenly I hear Julian scream, one of the rings hit him! In a dash, I jump over the shock circles and reach the window.

I look down the window and luckily there's a trash bin to cover our fall.

Suddenly Julian shouts in pain," You will--never find the--- documents!"

I and Emilia speak in unison," Oh we will" and jump out of the window..

5 minutes Later

We walk along the Seine, tired and slightly shaken.

Suddenly, Emilia interrupts the silence.

"So turns out you are a good fighter, ok you know what I have changed my mind, my vacation ends here!"

I reply," Ok, that's progress. So?"

She continues, "Partners?"

A bright smile covers my face.

I reply shaking her hand," Partners."
