Chapter 39: Scott’s Surprise
Allen had just knocked the 'Ghost Twins' to the ground and was about to call Scott to wrap things up when a van sped up.
The limo pulled up in front of Allen and Scott, and a few men stepped out of the car.
Allen raised an eyebrow and teased, "Are you guys just coming in after everything's been taken care of? Isn't this job easy for us?"
Scott ignored Allen's flirtation as he looked at the 'Ghost Twins' on the ground in surprise and asked, "Did you beat these two guys down?"
Allen shrugged, "If there isn't a second person, that would be me."
Scott's gaze toward Allen became severe. Behind him, an Asian girl with a pink double ponytail jumped and looked at Allen.
"Hello, my name is Crane Tammy. How did you remove the ghost twins? They are famous killers in the Life Alchemy Society." Crane extended his hand towards Allen.
Allen was just about to shake her hand when a lollipop was shoved.
Allen looked at Crane in surprise and asked, "The Life Alchemy Society? What's that?"
"A brutal human experimentation organization, hunted by various countries." Scott briefly described how he commanded two other men to escort the twins to the car.
Allen noticed that the two twins wore a pair of strange silver-white handcuffs on their wrists.
Scott noticed Allen's gaze and introduced himself: "Those are psychic inhibitory handcuffs. You can't use your psychic powers with those on."
Allen nodded in understanding, though he grew curious about why Scott had suddenly arrived.
Scott pointed at Crane and laughed, "She was the one who went through the surveillance and found the Twin Slayers' trail. We were worried that you were in danger, so we rushed over."
That's when the other two team members came over and introduced themselves to Allen.
The guy dressed like a member of a death-rock band is named Holt Kevin. He's in charge of explosives and tracking.
The other guy, who looks like a quiet college student, is named Sassoon. Dief was in charge of infiltration and sniping.
Finally, there's Crane, who focuses on cyber sleuthing.
Everyone on this team has a bit of superpower, but Scott reminds Allen that superpowers are only an aid and should not be overly relied upon.
Allen agreed with Scott's words; he couldn't stop a bullet in his eye right now.
"Oh shit, how did I forget something important?" Allen suddenly remembered that the reason he was here was to rescue Larry.
I was talking to Scott and the others and remembered the main event.
Allen immediately went to the van, pulled open the door, and rescued Larry, who was tied up.
After ripping the tape off Larry's mouth, Larry cried out. "Allen, you saved me again!"
Allen patted Larry's shoulder sympathetically. No matter what, any man would have crumbled, seeing that the person he was dating was a two-hundred-pound bruiser.
'Larry should have been nervous about his back door then.' Allen reckoned that the incident would leave a shadow in Larry's mind and he would never cybersex again.
"Why did they arrest you, do you know?" Allen asked suddenly.
Larry looked hesitant in bringing it up.
Scott suddenly approached Larry and surveyed him curiously. He inquired, "Do you have any special abilities? The Life Alchemy Society doesn't just kidnap ordinary people."
Larry was taken aback, and after looking at Scott's papers, he managed to tell the truth.
"I have a little superpower. I can make plants grow faster." Larry pulled a seed out of his pocket, and the seed began to sprout rapidly in the center of his palm.
But three seconds later, the germination of the seeds stopped, and Larry's face turned pale.
Scott said with some disappointment, "The practical application is not very effective, but there is some research value, which should be why the Life Alchemy Society has its eyes on you."
Crane suddenly jumped in front of Larry and asked, "Did you flaunt this special ability to your internet lover? So he ratted you out?"
Larry blushed, and Crane knew he'd guessed right by the look on his face.
"You boys like to show off in front of the girls." Crane's laughter made Larry blush with embarrassment.
Allen shook his head helplessly if it wasn't for the fact that his terrible life as a child had made him more mentally mature than his peers. He should have been as conspicuous as Larry when he got the mystic eyes.
Allen stepped aside and dialed Dobbin's number, giving her the good news of Larry's rescue.
Dobbin, who had been worried, finally relaxed. She invited Allen to join her for dinner tonight, which she cooked herself.
Allen was looking forward to dinner.
Scott could see that Allen had a date for the evening and instructed Allen to report to the base tomorrow while he left with the crew, the criminals, and Larry.
Allen suddenly felt that Scott was a perfect boss.
