It was a cold,November night. I was strolling my way towards my apartment,when suddenly,a car rushed by. I didn't pay attention to it,how foolish of me. I wanted to get a glass of scotch and lay in my bed,just relaxing. But little did I know,for what happened.

The car that rushed by was a car with a hitman in it,with a tommygun. ''Oh,Mr Vulkie3.'',a lady said with a sweet voice. ''Yeah,wha....'' I couldn't finish the sentence. I noticed the gun and it was too late.

The lady in the car fired the tommygun empty on me,and left after they saw me fall down. I was still alive,breathing heavily. I crawled towards my neighbour's house,and I could only rang the doorbell.

I didn't made it to see if the neighbour opened the door,because I passed out...

After solving this case,I knew what the next day happened after I got shot. The front page was full of it,with screaming title of : ''Local Sleuth shot down;believed to be victim of gang war.''

I really hoped some of my friends would find me and help me solve this case,I thought,before I passed out...

Except for the immobile Vulkie, we all attended Lolita's beautiful funeral. Everybody cried and then went and had a drink at the Tricky Mister for the memorial wake. Louie Dyane was there, as he was a friend of Lolita as well. He played a lovely jazz tune on the piano in memory of her. In fear of Vulkie's safety, I asked Ace to return to the hospital. He willingly abide.

Casually I chatted with Louie, and told him who killed Lolita. "The 'blondie' working for the DAB? Yes, her name is Elle Driver." Louie sipped his whiskey. "She's from the south, ambitious crazy b*tch. Poor Lolita!"

"Do you know where she is now?" I asked, holding my drink with my left hand, my right one still mending in a cast.

"She planning something big for DAB right now, somewhere in Long Island, I heard. I've no idea what that was about though. All I knew was, they were ordering quite a number of suits from the Twisted Thread."

I sipped my vodka in silence.

Tears rolles down my cheeks silently as I thought of poor, poor Lolita. I was half listening to the conversation Joseph was having with Mr. Dyane, but became alert when the Twisted Thread was mentioned.

"How many suits? What type? For what?" I demanded, leaning around Joseph.

Mr. Dyane looked at me askance. "Whoa, dollface. Slow down, you're gonna hurt yourself tripping over your tongue!"

I gave him a look that wiped the smile from his mouth. Joseph took another sip of his vodka, and leaned back a bit to give me a bit of room.

"I said, 'All I knew was, they were ordering quite a number of suits from the Twisted Thread'. I don't know more than that lady!"

"Well," I started in a falsely reasonable tone, "Who do you know who can tell me? Our friend is dead, my sister is dead, and my father is dead. For some bloody reason, I am still here, and I WILL have vengeance! From DAB, from LCN, and anyone else who decides to kill my family and friends!" My fist banged down hard on the counter, and I realized I was standing and shouting. Joseph looked up at me with worry in his eyes, and pulled me back down to sit on my stool.

"Anais, calm down," he said in a low intense whisper.

I took a deep breath and counted to ten, then let it out. "I'm sorry, Mr. Dyane, I'm not quite myself. I have had quite a bit going on, and I just took it out on you. Please forgive me," my voice was raw. I snagged Joseph's vodka, and tossed it back. "I'll buy you another one, Joe."

Joseph stared at me. "You don't drink? Anais, I better get you home. We need to talk," he was worried.

I had less than half a shot, and I was already woozy. "Yahuh. Sure..." I tried to stand, "Joe?" I stumbled and fell on him, "I-I-I ain't feel-hic-feeling so-hic hot." Then I collapsed.

Anais collapsed on my arms.

ANAIS COLLAPSED ON MY ARMS!

How could she do that to me? Didn't she know I have a huge crush on her? (oh, right, she didn't realize it).

Louie Dyane mused. "What's the matter lad? Your face is more flushed than your drunk friend's. Look at you! Sweating! She ain't feelin' so hot but I guess you are!"

I ignored his teasing and went for the door with Anais slumping on my chest.

"Don't go dizzy on a dame now, Zeo!" Dyane called behind me, giggling. That man was impossible!

I caught a cab and headed for Anais's flat. Her head was resting right over my heart. It was beating so hard I thought it would burst. Temperature was rising. We finally got to her flat and I fished for her keys in her purse. We went inside and I put her on the couch. I wouldn't dare going into her bedroom at such moments.

I went into the kitchen to fetch her a wet towel. When I returned to the living room, I saw her crying in her sleep. I sat on the floor beside the couch, starring at her face. Anais always behaved so strong, so intelligent and sensible. I know she must miss her father and sister. This must be hard for her.

My heart cringed inside of me and I couldn't stop myself from kissing her forehead. Anais stirred and woke up.

"What are you doing?" She slurred.

"Um, ah, I got you a towel... here." I placed the towel on her forehead, hoping that she thought it was the towel that woke her…

''Alright Miss Vulkie,please try to walk a few steps'' the doctor asked. I tried to walk and luckily,I made it to the other end. Unfortunately,after that intense moment,I had to sit down. The doctor got me a glass of water. Ace came by,for extra protection. We had a lunch in the cafetaria of the hospital. I just prodded with my fork in my lunch and Ace had a nice sandwich and enjoyed it.

''It's great to see you walk again'' Ace said. I just stared to him,in his face,blankely without emotion. I still didn't feel well. Ace escorted me back to my bed and made sure I was comfortable. When I read the newspaper,nothing interesting was there.

After I gave the paper back to Ace,I had a little nap......

When I woke up after a few hours,it was dark and Ace was gone. My heart pounded in my chest.. When I listened carefully,I heard footsteps. ''Oh god'' I thought, ''That must be that woman again. Ace,hurry back,please''.

And as the door openend,I saw someone familiar. It was Mr. Dyane....

''Well hello Vulkie,it's good to see that you're enjoying your stay here'' Mr. Dyane said with a grinch. God,did I hate that grinch. His smiling showed his rotten teeth of all the vodka's he had drunk.

''Any news on that lady Mr Dyane?'' I asked. ''Well,as a matter of fact,I do know they are going to some kind of ritual to have some DAB-members invited to the DAB. The location,I dont know if it's certain.'' he said,again with a grinch and holding up his hand. ''Great,so for information,you want money,alright...'' I said and gave him a bill of a hundred dollar. He gladly accepted it and said : ''At the pier near the docks,pier 69,there will be a meeting with cars. After that,they will go somewhere. Coming monday,it's going to take place'' Mr Dyane said.

''Thanks for the info Mr Dyane.''. I offered him a little drink at the cafetaria,but he declined. He needed to go. Just as he was off,Ace was coming back.

''AND WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN,I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED YOU KNOW!!!!'', I yelled at Ace. ''Sorry,but I needed to go for a little smoke and a drink. I do have my reasons to be on my own,you know...'' Ace replied. God,I thought to myself,I can't wait to be back on the streets...

I told Ace to phone Anais and Joseph,but at Joseph's house,the phone wasn't picked up. At Anais's house,the phone was picked up by Joseph.

I watched Ace and as I watched him,I deeply fell into a nice sleeping night..

As I was placing the towel on Anais' forehead, the phone rang. I gladly went and picked it up. It was Vulkie from the hospital. (Bless her for saving my hide with that timely phone call!)

"It's Vulkie," I told Anais, who was still very wobbling with the hangover. "She told me if her recovery goes smoothly, she should be out of the hospital by the coming Sunday. According to Mr. Dyane, the DAB will have a secret ritual and they will meet the day after at Pier 69..." I babbled on, but Anais was just pressing her temples with her fingers. I don't think she was listening.

"What happened?" Anais asked. I told her she downed my Vodka and fell unconscious. Anais glanced at me suspiciously with those intelligent yet innocent eyes of her.

"Ah, I've to go now... um,... I've to feed my cat."

"but you don't have a cat."

"Oh, yeah, right. No, i do. Um, bye." I felt Anais' apartment, never felt so stupid in my life. On my way home, I saw a stray grey kitty. I decided to take her home just in case Anais asked me about this again.

--Sunday--

''Well Miss Vulkie,you may go now and I hope you dont get in trouble anymore'',the doctor said. I thanked the doctor and the nurse for all their help and care and gave them a voucher for a nice dinner at Maria's place downtown. They happily accepted it.

When I got out of the hospital,I saw three friends standing there : Joseph,Anais and Ace. Ace with his Tommygun ready,Joseph with his old lead-shooting pistol and Anais with a revolver. Anais hugged me and handed me a revolver too. I checked the magazine and it contained 6 bullets. Anais gave me some spare bullets,in case of need. Joseph gave a kiss on the cheek and asked how I've been. Ace gave me a passionately kiss and got me safe in the driver's seat,making sure everything was comfortable.

I drove towards Joseph's place and made a special meal : A nice steak with some little mushroom and a cream sauce. For dessert,a nice piece of chocolate cake.

I watched everybody enjoying their dinner,happily looking at me. I almost broke in tears. ''What's the matter Vulkie,you don't like it?'' Ace asked me. ''It's not that Ace,it's just... it's just great to be here with you guys."

I drove Anais and Ace to their homes and stayed at Ace's place. My place was too dangerous,because Elle may know I was fired from the hospital this day.

The next day,Ace made some scrambled eggs with bacon for me and a glass of juice.

As I read the paper,he smiled towards me,hoping for a reply. I smiled back,answering his smile.

''Let's go pick everyone up for the "meeting" " Ace said and I placed the dirty plates in the kitchen sink.

After we picked Anais and Joseph up,we stopped at the docks at the parking place. Everyone checked their guns for ammo and if everything was fine.

The ending has begun.....

At the parking place,we stayed and overlooked Pier 69. And as Mr. Dyane said,there were three cars. 2 full of unknown people and 1 car full of people we knew. Suprisingly, Father Manfred was among those people and also Elle Driver. It's like loosing a nickle and finding a dollar back for it. 2 flies in one trap.

As Mr. Dyane also said,they drove off towards their meeting point. I tailed them,not letting them know that they were followed. They went towards the abandoned Church of Saint Vincento (just fictional people xD).

As they arrived there,I stopped the car a block behind them. Joseph,Anais,Ace and I got out and waited until the people entered the abandoned church.

And as the door closed,we ran towards the entrance....

AS we ran towards the entrance, shots were fired at us. I was shot in the leg. "Damn!" They must know we're here!

"Hurry! Come here!" Ace pulled me behind a large oak tree away from the bullets.

"What should we do now?"

"I know this old church, there a secret tunnel not too far from here."

"But Joseph is hurt."

"I'm alright." I wrapped a torn shirt on my leg to stop the bleeding. "The bullet went past my skin. It's just a scratch." I lied.

We all followed Anais through her secret passage into the church.

"Come on guys" Anais yelled and we went to the left side of the church. I escorted Joseph and fired some shots to give some back-up. Anais reached the cellar door and took her gun out and shot it open. The lock was totally demolished.

As we entered the cellar,we heard footsteps above us and a man speaking in strange words. We reached the stairs,which went into a spiral upstairs.

As we reached the entrance, I opened it very softly and made a little eye-space to see through it. There she was. Elle Driver. And Father Manfred,who was leading the ritual.

"Sleuth Police,hold it!" I yelled. Father Manfred and Elle Driver looked astonished. ''So,you're here after all.'' Father Manfred said. ''We have a little suprise for you Vulkie", Elle said.

And as the door behind Father Manfred opened,we saw a person gagged and blindfolded. I knew immediately who it was.

It was my brother......
