wider area. Luke and
Jenny, two of the newest members of his team, crouched behind the
cars parked at the side of the road and gave him the thumbs-up.
Dylan had planted Luke and
Jenny at the front of the building, and a couple of Black Bears at
the back and sides of the building. Luke and Jenny might be rookies,
but they were fast and alert. Their instincts and reflexes were
sharp, and they were as strong and brave as any Black Bear.
Dylan scanned the dim
pre-dawn street. The robber would have planned for a quick, smooth
getaway. And Dylan had a hunch that the getaway vehicle would make
an appearance once their attention had been diverted by a well-timed
accident.
The police aimed their guns
at the building entrance and waited for a few tense seconds.
A gunshot sounded.
“Go, go, go!”
Uniforms charged into the
building.
Dylan squinted into the
distance. Dawn was just breaking over the city, and the orange glow
of the rising sun glinted off windows and windscreens.
He could hear the whine of a
motor engine. A car was coming towards them at high speed.
As the police stormed the
building, a rusty metal heap of a car with a souped-up engine
ploughed into a row of neatly parked cars.
Car alarms blared and wailed,
and people ran out into the street at the commotion.
Dylan saw another car coming
down the street in the opposite direction. People were running out
of the nearby buildings and houses, some clad in their pajamas and
bathrobes.
The crowd was growing.
Dylan scanned the crowed and
saw a well-dressed man with a hat pulled low over his face sliding
through the rubber-neckers.
He tapped his watch to alert
his team immediately. “Getaway vehicle approaching in the
opposite direction. Blue Toyota. Suspect in a bowler hat, black
suit and white shirt.”
Dylan peeled away from his
post and followed the man. The man cut through the crowd and stepped
off the curb before Dylan could reach him.
The robber had ditched his
ski mask and bomber jacket, and had assumed the appearance of an
upper-class gentleman. The man was fast and clever. There was no
trace at all of that heavy-handed, bumbling nutso.
Dylan hissed into his watch.
“Team A, move in now! We're losing him!”
Dylan only saw a blur at the
corner of his eye as Luke detached himself from his post and flew
towards the suspect. He tackled the suspect to the ground just as
the blue Toyota screeched up. Dylan fired three shots in rapid
succession. He took out two tires and hit the driver in the upper
arm.
When the driver stumbled out
of the car and tried to escape in a limping run, Jenny was on him
before he could make it halfway across the road. Jenny pressed her
knee into his back and yanked his arms behind him as he howled in
pain.
Luke was holding on tightly
to the man in the suit. “What do you think you're doing?”
the man spat. “I'll sue you! I'll sue the whole lot of you!”
Dylan trained his gun on him.
“I believe you'll find the diamond in one of his pockets,”
Dylan said, jerking his head as police officers came running up. The
police cuffed and began to search the suspect.
“You have no right...”
the man started to shout.
“So sue me,”
Dylan said flatly as he put his gun away.
He nodded at Luke and Jenny.
“Good job.”

Jade cleared away the plates
and cups and stacked them on the tray. Dino Diner was famous for
their waffles and dino-sized breakfast sets. The diner was packed in
the mornings, and customers had been streaming in non-stop.
Jade had been on her feet for
hours, taking orders, serving customers, pouring coffee and tea and
clearing the tables. But she still managed to find the time to chat
and joke with some of the customers. Some of the regulars remarked
that they had never seen her around, and asked if this was her first
day. When she answered that it was, they had given her the thumbs up
and left her very generous tips.
Nancy, the head waitress, was
equally busy and harried but her puffy
