Chapter 37: Captain Jack
'Bang!'
Droplets of dust from the dome fell, Regan squeezed his wrist, and a crisped sound released, he wailed and let go of the gun.
It dropped on the floor, fear clouded Calvin's face, Regan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, he sent a punch to his face, and knocked him out.
Regan dragged him and kicked the gun towards the elevator, he pressed it open, and the elevator gave way, he flung him inside, and also kicked the gun inside.
He sent him down the floor, and turned around, he made his way towards the staircase, the building was a three-story building.
He heard footfalls making their way upward, he sneaked into a room along the road, he came out transformed to one of a police captain making the raid.
Not only that, but he came out and saw one of the police junior, “Captain Jack…”
Regan looked at his tag, he decided to transform randomly, he wasn't expecting to transform into a highly ranked office, his lips curled.
“Boy, hurry, we have to get them, before they make any escape plans” he told the deputy, who quickly obeyed the order.
Regan whistled and made the final flight downstairs, the junior reached the top floor, and saw captain Jack to his shock.
“Hey, why are you staring like someone who has seen a ghost? Come over here” the real captain Jack snapped at him, he was slacking on duty.
The junior looked behind him in expectation, he looked like someone who was resonating on an event.
Regan brazenly came out in the open compound, the media barely gave him any breathing space, when they quickly pounced on him with so many questions.
At the underground garage, the police were laying siege at the positioning of the elevator, when it opened, they saw Calvin sprawled inside, and a gun lay lazily by his side.
They got him out and slapped a handcuff on his wrists, and carried him off, sealing the gun in a package plastic bag.
“Captain Jack, how are your men doing inside?”
“Have you caught the C.E.O company?”
They kept bombarding him with questions, he lowered his head, and escaped their incessant pestering.
Regan wandered into the street, forgetting that he has yet to change to his real self.
“Thief!” an old lady screamed, a young man ran away, after snatching her purse, Regan shrugged and wanted to leave.
When the old lady came to him, “Captain, that boy stole my purse” she pointed a finger at a figure running away.
Regan scolded himself, and managed an unnatural smile “the cops always save the day” he responded, the old lady wrinkled face gave a smile.
He dashed at the thief, after he chased him for some minutes, he got close and pulled a gun, pointing the muzzle at him “freeze!” he ordered.
The pathetic thief clutched onto the bag greedily, a youth with hood, “give the purse, that isn't yours” he told him, making reckless movements towards the boy.
The young boy carefully handed the bag over, “run along” he told the boy, and returned the purse to the owner, the old lady smiled thankfully, and received it.
Regan loved the respect and co-ordination as he wanders the street with the police uniform, back at the company, the cops finished raiding the company, and brought out all the staffs.
To the media surprise, Captain Jack still came out of the company, they were surprise at first, before making a dash at him.
Regan walked inside a bar with his cops uniform, the bad boys lurking around, started leaving, afraid of getting the cop attention.
He sat at the counter that the bartender is, “vodka!” he said, and a broad smile appeared on his face.
His glass was filled, and he gulped it down, requested another glass, he gulped it all, surprising the bartender “that will be enough” the bartender afraid of the cops getting drunk on duty.
Regan pursed his lips tightly “one more” he requested, to the surprise of the bartender, his glass was filled once again, he gulped it down, before settling the bartender.
He came out of the street, it started raining, he transformed to his real, a lady with an umbrella was walking along the street.
“Miss, can I join you?” he requested, the lady gawked at Regan, unable to mutter a word “I will take that as a yes” he proceeded, and joined her in the umbrella.
She came to her senses, “I am sorry, I have never seen a man as handsome as you are!” she exclaimed.
Regan smiles wryly, he entered a red-light district, and thanked the lady, making his way into the outlawed bar.
A rigid muscular Afro-man stopped him, standing before him, with tightly locked eyebrows “pass” he muttered just a word.
Regan chuckled, and tipped him, he nodded, and gave him a pass in, he strode in, it was a long walk in, after some minutes walk, he started hearing music.
Then, he turned left, and a beaming light welcomed him, he started hearing voices, at his right is a hall, where a group of men and women were dancing.
He looked away, and turned to the other left, to see a bouncer stationed there “Your pass” he requested, with a tone of impatience.
Regan pulled some dollar notes, and squeezed it, into his palm, and he gave way, walking in, a drunk scantily clad lady fell into his arms.
“You are so handsome-”
He could smell the stench of alcohol, with her perfume, her lips pursed tightly forming a thin line “fuck - me” she said blatantly, with dull eyes.
Regan felt uncomfortable, he pulled her hands from his body, and quickly walked away, running into a other hall at his left.
The light in there was dimmed, and men and women, walk around naked, wearing just a mask covering their faces.
“Aahh!”
“aahh!”
He heard moaning sounds coming from different angles, he could see some men, groping a naked lady, who enjoyed the men attention.
He wanted to retreat, but seven burly men rounded him up, immediately “our boss will want to see you”
