" thank you for the reviews. I have got a human spell chucker "

chapter 2 the case has been taken.

I was ten minuets out of my office with this dame how said her name was Sarah I had a felling she was telling me the entire story but that would come out in time.

I sat back and relaxed i going along the road at 35 mph in my 1954 Buick Raodmaster convertible.

She was a dream she held the road like a slug bloody difficult to get off if you know how to drive her well. I looked at the blond she was something most men dream of getting a look from. She turned towards me "why you driving this piece of junk it is so slow". I smile women will never get it will they if it looks slow and it sounds slow does not mean it is slow, I had a friend at a workshop give her a once over, I had him put in a race Manuel gearbox which is a pig to get used to my way of protecting the car from thieves. The other neat thing about this particular gear box is that if I down shift at the Wrong time I can make the car lurch hard and get some one out of the car pretty quick if I do it just right. "oh I think it drives like a dream and I liked the paint". She turned away and I could hear try to stifle a audible chuckle. I look back at the road it was about 2 miles till we got to Bryce's flat. I sat back in the driving seat and relaxed considering how I would calmer her down when she sees Bryce in bed with another woman. The Neighbourhood was up market a little pricey for Bryce but not for Sarah she looked like she belonged here. I pulled up by the apartment there was a door man. Oh great this should be good were the first thoughts that came in to my head.

"I don't suppose that you have been here at all." Sarah speaks in a worried "Once with Bryce".

"OK good can you put on the water works babe " she smiles a tear falls from her face.

The poor sap of a door man did not stand a chance. "It is OK sister we can go and talk to bryce and sought this mess out" the door man looked at me "sir how do you wish to see" in a worried almost frantic tone "MR larkin my sister has some bad news for him I am there for moral support ." the door man looks at Sarah with a worried look then turns back to me "OK sir but pleas be quiet there are a lot of people sleeping. Sarah sniffed "thank you" "no trouble mama " the door man said as she walks through. I slip the door man a twenty "we were never here" "very good sir" I flash a smile to him and we walk to the stairs. I whisper to Sarah " you should do that for a living" she smiled still sniffing to make it look good. I con a drink off a man or two a few times but I am not that good. I walk up the stairs slowly with her holding her to make sure that if any one is tailing us we look like brother and sister. "remind me never to go drinking with you". She looks at the floor number "this floor£ she nods "which room" she walked along the corridor till she got to room 315.

The white door looked clean, cleaner than the others along the corridor. You happen to have a key. "No oh well turn you back pleas". I took the piece of sheet metal I always carry in my shirt pocket. I saved my life twice that trick and was useful for getting doors open with out the tale tale scratch marks of a lock pick. I taped her on the shoulder and mouthed stay behind me. I opened the door and drew my revolver. It looked very neat not like Bryce at all. The blind was open and the street lights were visible. Sarah came in a second later .she went for the light switch "don't" "why not" she said looking at me with a strange esprestion . Look at the screw heads. She took a look they were warn and it looked fresh. "I could bet you any money if you flicked that switch either you would get a rather nasty shock or you would get blown to bits". Sarah looked at me and smiled "I see why Bryce trusts you" "here catch" I throw Sarah a cheap battery torch. "Pleas don't touch anything. Tell me if you want to move something or something looks out of place." "OK" I scanned the floor with my torch. No heavy foot marks so there was not a fight here or there was and some one took the trouble to clean the carpet. There was a desk looked old but something was troubling me about it.

I looked at the draws one with a lock and it looked like it had been picked the tale take scratch marks were present. I slid the draw open. A black cylinder with 2 holes either end which you could see through. I look down the hole it is riffled down it. A Silencer interesting I had heard myths about a silent gun a few months back. The British had worked on a silent gun for quite some time they never got it to work officially. A pay stub for a taxi. That was that for that draw. I looked through the other 3. nothing how strange. The desk still worried me but I went through the rest of the room. "Sarah you found anything" no nothing that I would say is of interest., I returned to the desk. Something about this desk is wrong. The top has a green felt on it in rectangle in the middle.

I looked at the flet and smoothed it with my hands and felt it give only slightly.

"I smiled well I should have know" sarah was next to me as I put my hand behind the desk and pushed in a small wooden tab right behind the desk. The felt moved up as I pushed the plunger all the way in. the green felt rectangle lifted up . I grabbed the piece of the desk and lifted it gently. Sarah looked in there with her toruch. A small envelop with the word chuck on it and a key for a safety deposit box. I took the letter and pocketed the key and put the felt back were it was making sure it looked the same. I sat down in a chair and took out a piece of paper which was in the envelop.

Hello friend you should be reading this on the day of your birthday. I know that you don't consider me to be a friend any more but I did have your best intentions at heart. I got you chucked out of the police acadmay for one reason you were to much of an asset. At the police acadmey you were top in all your classes even the memory test. Three days before our passing out I was told that I could join a elite group know as Fulcrum. I joind and found out that they were a front for something a lot larger. I decided to see if I could get any deeper in and try and jail the hole gang. The problem was I found out they had taken special interest in you because of your higher memory ability.

I also found out a dreadful truth they were going to blackmail you by using your one weakness Jill Roberts. I had to stop this from happening that is why I got you kicked out of the academy.

But I ask for your help now for old time sake, that is all I can say just in case this falls in to the wrong hands. You know were they key goes. Thank you chuck. Sarah will like you more than she liked me treat her well..

"

I looked looked at Sarah and smiled. Well that does surprise me we have to take a trip to union station. I said it rather loudly getting a surprising look from Sarah." You don't want some one to hear us so keep your voice down. Oh sorry Sarah. I looked at Sarah and I see a small circle of light on her dress which seams to get darker quickly. I throw Sarah down to the ground as the first hale of gun fire is emanated from the other side of the street. We are hidden by the bed Sarah whispers thanks. No problem now can you grab the door . Yes I can reach it she said with a calm tone.

She opening the door fully. I roll her away from the door. What are you doing we should get out of here, at the end of her last word a ratta tat tat of fast machine gun fire could be heard spattering the ground were we were just laying. Now you see why we don't leave. You got a compact. Yes of course I do. She handed me the compact I opened it and use it to look over the street. The hotel with the window open and one bloke holding Tommy gun with a scope on it. Wile the other one is packing his away and is running out.

"Dam there are two of them one of them is coming over here."

sarah looked at me for the first time with fear in her eyes "what are we going to do. Chuck ?"
