The Nightwatcher Chronicles: Narcotics

Hey, what's up, guys. My name is Dylan Cochran. Some of you know me as Devin's twin brother. All of you should know me as Blitzing Knight. Matthew let me write about Devin and me going over to Straight A's house and talking to his parents. The reason why is beyond me but here I am.

Devin and I left the apartment around the same time Matthew did but we went the other way. Straight A's parents lived on the east side of Canterlot City, which was the rich part of the city, in a gated community. The problem with getting into the gated community was the police and the security patrol that area a lot more than any other area.

After we managed into the gated community, we had to hide our vehicles. The problem was that there weren't any convenient hiding places. Devin said we should park them in an empty parking garage that didn't have its door closed. Thankfully we found one that was two houses down from Straight A's house.

Devin and I made it to the house in a few seconds. There were no lights, and we used Advanced Recon Mode to see if the parents were still up. We found out the parents were asleep, so we planned on how we were to enter the house. We jumped the fence that bordered the backyard and brainstormed.

"Dylan, use NAI to shut off the security system so we can get into the house without having security or the police on our butts," my brother told me.

"We don't need to do that. I can teleport in the house," I answered.

"No one likes killjoy," Devin mumbled.

Devin put his hand on my shoulder and I teleported into the living room since the blinds were open. I can only teleport to places I can see in plain view. Inside, there was a memorial for Straight A's that was in front of a fireplace. A cat was laying on the couch. Devin pointed out a staircase that led up to the second floor.

We walked up the stairs, and we had to open every door on the second floor to find the parent's bedroom. It just so happened the bedroom was the last room we searched. Devin and I went inside the room, but I almost woke the parents up by sneezing.

I stood at the front of the bed while my brother leaned against the door frame. Devin cleared his throat to wake up the parents but that didn't work. I donkey kicked the wall, and the room shook. The parents woke up instantly.

The father turned on a lamp but still was a little sluggish. His wife had a different reaction. She saw us and screamed her head off. The husband tried to reach for a small revolver that was laying on his nightstand.

"I wouldn't go for the gun if I were you," Devin warned.

"Give me one damn good reason that I shouldn't shoot you!" the father shouted.

"For one, shooting at us would be a waste of ammo since bullets aren't effective against us. Ask the Black Snake."

"And we are just here to ask you two some questions," I added.

"Who are you?" the wife asked us.

"I'm Blitzing Knight and behind me is Mind Probe. You've probably heard of us," I introduced.

"Yes, we have. What questions do you have about our son?" the father asked, sounding annoyed.

Devin asked if their son had any friends that seemed shady or were in any gangs. The parents told us that he wasn't affiliated with anyone like that and the father seemed very offended that we asked that question. The mother why we were so interested in Straight A's death. I told them that the coroner's autopsy report said that the death of Straight A's was unknown and we found it strange he died from an unknown cause.

"Can we see your son's phone? We'll only look through it," Devin asked the mother.

"Sure, but you must leave afterward and leave us alone," the mother replied.

"We will," I assured.

She pulled out a drawer in her nightstand and pulled out a cell phone. Devin walked over to her and got the phone. He tossed it to me. I attempted to get into it, but it had a password.

"You know I can unlock for you," NAI said.

I jumped a little bit but I calmed down. I wasn't used to Orange Bunny's AI yet.

"Sure, go ahead," I told NAI.

Within seconds, she unlocked the phone and opened the contacts app. There wasn't anyone that seemed shady until we reached the "s" section. There was only one contact that stood out. I was the contact for Small Time. I looked at Devin and showed the contact.

"Bukankah ini pengedar narkoba yang Lance dan Matthew menginterogasi di penjara?"

(Malay) "Isn't that the drug dealer that Lance and Matthew interrogated in prison?" Devin asked.

"Da, je. Pretpostavljam da strejt petice nisu tako "strejt" kao što smo mislili."

(Bosnian) "Yeah, it is. I guess that Straight A's wasn't as "straight" as we thought," I replied.

"What did you find," the father asked angrily.

"Nothing except one contact that raises our suspicions," I said.

"It's the contact of a Black Dragon gang member named Small Time. He was arrested for being an accomplice with the Black Snake. And, he was planning to sell narcotic drugs to people here," added.

"You're insane. My son would never get involved with a gang member! We raised him better than that!" the father shouted.

I tossed the phone on the bed and walked into Straight A's bedroom, which was one door up the hall. Devin and the parents followed me into the bedroom. I turned on the light and began looking around the room for any drugs that might still be there.

Devin suggested looking under the bed and in the box of springs. I picked up the mattress and threw it off the bed. Devin found a gym bag underneath the bed that had dirty clothes and four empty needles and two full ones. The parents were stunned at Devin's discovery. I pulled out my sword and cut into the box of springs.

Some springs were missing and were replaced with several bricks of cocaine and a bag of heroin. Devin pulled out a brick and examined it. The mother pointed out that they were wrapped in plastic wrap, and that she found a receipt that belonged to her son. It had two boxes of plastic wrap and sandwich bags on it.

"This is ridiculous. My son would never sell drugs and besides-"

The father was interrupted by a crashing noise from outside. Devin shut off the lights and told the parents to get down. I walked over to the window and pulled back the curtain.

"Who's out there?" the mother asked.

"Probably just a raccoon or a stray cat," the father grumbled.

"It turns out that your trash panda just happens to be twenty heavily armed Black Snake terrorists in your backyard," I replied.

"I thought these guys were ninjas, not klutzy junior high kids. We shouldn't have heard them coming," my brother said.

"People make mistakes, dude," I replied.

"What are they armed with?"

"Fifteen of them have Mk's and the rest have MP5s. All of them have sidearms and katanas. Get the parents in their bedroom."

Devin left the room while I kept an eye on the Black Snake. Then, the terrorists that they MP5s entered the house. My bother came back into the bedroom but I pushed him back out.

"What's your deal, dude?" Devin hissed.

"Ryochika wo koroshi watashi tachi no shohin wo torimodoshi masu."

(Japanese) "Kill the parents and retrieve our merchandise," a terrorist ordered.

"That's my deal," I replied.

We activated Combat Mode, and we pulled out our pistols. Devin crouched down while I stood behind him. We waited until the terrorists got onto the second floor. Then, we opened fire. Within a few seconds, we killed all of the terrorists but we alerted the rest of them.

Devin hosted his pistols and pulled his bo staff off his back, ran, and jumped out the window. Gunfire erupted in the backyard that alerted every cop in the area.

"Orange, stall the police for us," I ordered.

"Now you fucking bastards need me. I'm on it," Orange Bunny said.

I jumped out the window. There were already eight dead terrorists that Devin had killed. I shot one who was shooting at my brother and shot another one, too. I put my pistols in my holsters and pulled out my sword.

A terrorist threw down his rifle and unsheathed his sword. He had two other terrorists at his side who had their swords pulled. They slowly moved towards me.

"Ani no burittsu kishi to issho ni shinu junbi oshite."

(Japanese) "Prepare to die alongside your brother, Blitzing Knight," the head terrorist snarled.

"Sō iu kotodeshou."

(Japanese) "We'll see about that," I replied.

The two flanking terrorists charged at me. I plunged my sword into the first guy's chest. He fell to the ground. Then, I swung and sliced the head off of the other terrorist. I turned to the head terrorist.

"Anata wa watashi ga shinu koto ni tsuite nanika o itte imashita."

(Japanese) "You were saying something about me dying," I taunted.

"Inshō-tekidesuga, jūbun ni inshō-tekide wa arimasen."

(Japanese) "Impressive, but not impressive enough."

"Dylan, behind you!" NAI shouted.

There was a red dot on my radar, that was a terrorist. I turned around and saw a katana coming down. Then, I parried the blow and lunged at the terrorist. He batted my sword away and sliced upwards. I dodged his sword. The terrorist only fought with one hand so I began targeting his free hand.

When he trusted, I spun around and sliced off his free hand. He fell to his knees while clutching his arm. I brought my sword down and stabbed him in the neck.

The other terrorist, that I taunted earlier, charged at me. I got ready to fight him but Devin had another idea. He ran and slid to stab the terrorist but he jumped over Devin. Devin got up and used his gauntlet to stop a blow from the terrorist's sword. Then, he tossed his bo staff into his left hand. Devin punished the terrorist in the throat and did a flying roundhouse horse kick. When the terrorist staggered back, my brother stabbed him in the leg. Devin pulled the staff out and plunged the staff into his chest. He pulled it out but the terrorist was still alive.

"Not feeling so powerful, huh?" Devin sneered.

"Jigoku ni iki nasai."

(Japanese) "Got to hell," the terrorist snarled.

Before we could say thing else, he pulled out his pistol and shot himself in the head.

"Well, now what?" Devin asked.

As if on cue, we heard sirens in the distance, and a lot of them. The sirens sounded like they were getting closer. Orange Bunny told us that she saw on a security camera that the police were entering the gated community on the opposite end.

We ran for it which involved us knocking down the backyard's gate. Devin and I ran down the garage where parked our vehicles. After we go on our vehicles, we drove out of the gated community and drove back to the apartment. Matthew contacted us and said he had information that would help us solve Straight A's death. I told him that we had some info, too. Some info that would be shocking to the rest of the team.
