Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 418 - Call It a Day, and Tim Takes a Hit

Chapter 418 Call It a Day, and Tim Takes a Hit

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luke fired again, and two shooters who had just run through the warehouse gate collapsed.

The shooters were already on the move. With no time to care about their companions, they started to fire at the RV.

Selina asked, “I don’t think you need my help, do you?” Luke said, “Nope. It’s just some small fry.”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ah!” Yet another shooter fell with a miserable cry.

There were eight shooters in total, and half of them had already been dealt with.

Since he had been prepared for the ambush, Luke didn’t need Selina’s help.

“Tim and Natalie are on the move,” Selina warned him.

A black Audi charged in from the other side of the warehouse.

The black Audi sped toward the four remaining shooters from the side.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Two pistols were fired, and two of the shooters hurriedly took cover and didn’t dare shoot at the RV anymore.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luke easily took down the other two shooters, who were distracted by the newcomers.

Only two shooters were left on the scene, and they had to face both Tim and Luke.

Luke snorted. “Boring. I expected more people. Fine. Let’s call it a day.” Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The two shooters, who had been hiding behind piles of junk, were hit from the side and cried out as they collapsed.

Outside, the RV started up.

Tim’s black Audi, however, quickly turned around to block it.

“Jeff, you can’t leave.” Tim looked at Jeff, who was in the pa.s.senger seat, through the open window.

Jeff was panic-stricken. “You… You’re here to kill me?”

Tim rolled his eyes. “Jeff, will you calm down? Did you think that those people were here to save you, with their guns?”

“But your computer is full of data on my colleagues. Is that normal?” asked Jeff angrily. Natalie burst out laughing. “Wow, you’re really good neighbors. Did you break into our house?”

Karen wasn’t to be outdone. “You put a bug in the gift you gave us. Is that what neighbors

do?”

Tim looked at Natalie awkwardly. “Maybe… it was a little too much?”

Natalie glared at her stupid partner, before she said to the other three, “What are you doing? Shouldn’t you be more concerned about the person who saved you just now?”

Jeff, Karen and Carl were confused. What was that supposed to mean? Weren’t those gunshots fired from someone on their side?

At that moment, a secondhand Ford slowly drove in through the gate, and Tim and Natalie both raised their guns warily.

When the Ford pulled up, everybody except Carl exclaimed in shock, “Luke?”.

Luke got out with a smile and waved at them. “Haha, seeing that all of you can still stand around and chat so happily, helping you get rid of those pests wasn’t in vain.”

Everybody was confused. “What?”

Luke pulled out the chain around his neck to show them his badge. “LAPD, Major Crimes Division.”

Everybody: “…”

Twenty minutes later, all seven of them were sitting in a fast food restaurant.

“Do you want a potato pie? Or an apple pie?” asked Tim.

“A burger will be fine. I would like some fries too,” Karen said.

“I would like ice cream,” said Selina.

“Soda. What do you want?” Luke looked at Carl, the security manager.

Carl shook his head. “I’ve been trying to lose weight. Just a soda will be fine.”

After they ordered, the booth was quiet for a moment.

Jeff asked Luke, “You’re a police officer? Why did you never mention it?”

Luke shrugged. “Because I’m lazy. I didn’t want Meg to pester me when her drain is clogged, her dog is missing, or her children don’t want to eat. I’m only responsible for robbery and homicide cases, but I’m sure Meg wouldn’t think so.”

Jeff and Karen were lost for words.

Meg was exactly the sort of person who would hara.s.s her neighbors for help with every small thing. Karen had been the biggest victim.

After that, Jeff and Karen started peppering Tim and Natalie with questions.

But the two of them replied to everything with “no comment.”

But as they spoke, Tim and Natalie started squabbling with each other.

On the side, Luke and Selina felt it was strange.

Whether they were secret service agents or detectives, it was clear that these two didn’t see eye to eye on their job and their future.

This disagreement probably would’ve only come out later, but while answering Jeff’s questions, Tim revealed that he was tired and hoped to retire.

Natalie had utterly no idea. Astonished, she asked Tim why he hadn’t told her sooner. Annoyed, Tim replied that he had already been dropping hints, which she had subconsciously dismissed.

As they continued fighting, Natalie couldn’t help but complain, “Who would hide a bug inside a gla.s.s sculpture?” That was precisely the reason why Jeff and Karen had found the bug.

While they were getting randy in the living room, they broke the sculpture, and found the bug. That sculpture was from none other than Tim.

Tim argued, “I like gla.s.s sculptures. That’s my hobby. I don’t see why I shouldn’t make a gift of it.”

Natalie asked, “And expose us?”

Tim asked, “Then what about the dress you wore for the mini beer festival? I’m sorry, that didn’t fit the situation at all, and could’ve exposed us easily too.”

Natalie’s eyes bulged. “What? You want me to cover my face up, like the women you saw in the Middle East?”

Tim said, “With all due respect, you need to fit in; only then will it be easier to get around.”Natalie said angrily, “Are you kidding? This is a middle-cla.s.s neighborhood. The women here are so unfriendly. You think they’ll like me if I wore a cheesy T-s.h.i.+rt, shorts and flip-flops?” “No! They’ll call you a b.u.mpkin behind your back.” Tim and Natalie s.h.i.+fted their gazes.

Naturally, it was Selina who had spoken. She dealt Tim another blow. “That’s right, that’s what most women in this neighborhood would do. Oh, Karen, I’m not referring to you. You know who I’m talking about.”

Who? Meg, that disgusting b*tch, of course.

Karen smiled and nodded. “I know. Tim, I have to say that you don’t understand the women in our neighborhood at all.”

Natalie spread her hands and looked at Tim proudly.

Tim was rendered speechless.

He had nothing to say in the face of these authoritative remarks by two women who lived in the very same neighborhood.

Seeing how Tim had been dealt a blow, Luke felt a little sorry for this big talker.
