Detective City Kids: Titanic II

"Hello," a stern yet welcoming voice answered the phone.

"We're detective city kids calling regarding The Leader's message." I told the secretary.

"A limousine will arrive shortly and escort you to headquarters."

Nick the ninja and I, Brian the brains received an urgent message from the leader of the FBI known as The Leader regarding a scandal in Singapore. We were informed to call HQ (headquarters) straight away and will be departing for Singapore tomorrow.

After a few seconds, we spotted a black limousine parked outside our block; inside the limousine was a man dressed all in black with black hair and shades who beckoned for us to enter. We swiftly made our way down to it. Throughout the whole trip to HQ, the mysterious driver didn't speak, twitch or do anything that you'd expect from a human.

When we finally arrived at HQ we wore the brand new uniform which had all sorts of gadgets and gizmos. A FBI Duster 1Saturn which literally turned solid objects into dust, a FBI Sticker 1Pluto which sticks to almost anything, a FBI Freeze 1Mars which turns anything into ice temporarily and a FBI Cheese 1Jupiter which is a camera which doesn't have any film but allows you to see through walls etc. We were told to enter a small room.

"Hello," a short and bald man was sitting on a chair opposite us, "You as our newest recruits will travel by ship on your first mission as you can remain anonymous and will attract less attention…. Got all that, now get out there and go, go, go!"

After saying that, everything dissolved in front of our eyes.

"That was a hologram of your HQ but it was actually a ship, have fun and stay safe." a computer generated voice mumbled as the ship's engine started up. Nick stared at me quizzically as I scratched my head… why was there so much of a commotion? I thought, if every single mission was going to be like this one then we should get used to it.

"O……K?" Nick spoke sarcastically, "What was that all about?"

"Ask The Leader!" I replied sounding annoyed, maybe I should consider changing my nickname as everyone would always ask me a question if no one could answer it because of my current nickname. A shadow formed on the wall I was staring on.

"Greetings new comers." the bald man that we saw before was speaking, "No, I'm not a hologram this time, I'm The Leader."

"Good luck on your first mission and every mission you begin will reward you with a new gadget and this one is the FBI Tracker 1Moon which is a tracker device that tracks anything with a special tool on, the tool is miniscule and is as sticky as the FBI Sticker 1Pluto. Use this minigun to fire it at the desired person."

With that, he left us stunned by his second appearance and left by using a rocket ship backpack.

Nick and I made our way towards our bunks as we planned to sleep the whole trip but when we arrived, we were appalled, there were no beds or anything, just solid floors and a ceiling. What were we supposed to do on this journey? The moment we stepped out of the door we noticed something that obviously wasn't there before. The wall in front of us was a well disguised door but we noticed it as it was left ajar.

"Let's sneak in…" I whispered to Nick.

"Are you mad?" he replied, "Why?"

"Obviously… why would someone create a trapdoor unless there was something they wanted to hide?"

Nick didn't bother to reply and sneaked in with me, he knew he couldn't outsmart my logical thinking.

"We're up to our one billion dollar mark gentlemen," a voice said, "after this, we can export crack and speed instead of just ice and cannabis which doesn't have much of a profit."

"Sir, I heard that some detectives are on board sir, if they discover the cellar than we're doomed!" One of the men called out.

"Derek the daring," the boss called, "everyone but you will evacuate the ship but you who will sink it carrying all the drugs with you and of course making it to Singapore and hand over the drugs to Erik the evil."

Now, Nick and I were frozen. We were amongst the most wanted drug dealers of all time; I recognised the boss' voice, Dragon the druggy. He was one of the five most notorious and wanted criminals in the world and Erik the evil was the most wanted in the world; they have earned their reputation because of their brutal nature and thirst for power. If we were caught then this would be our first and last mission. The only good news, I had never heard of Derek the daring but unfortunately we are going to have to deal with him.

I made a gradual movement trying my best not to attract attention and pointed to the door. Nick nodded also in slow motion but signaled that we should wait for a second; he took his FBI Tracker1Moon and shot Dragon the druggy. We crept out the same way that we entered and closed the door so that they wouldn't notice that they left the door open in the first place. After overhearing the plans, we decided to prevent this from happening but no one on this ship would believe us unless….

"FBI!" I bellowed as it barged open the captain's cabin, I flashed my pass, "we've got several criminals on deck that are planning to blow up the ship."
"Right…"

"I'm serious!"

"Prove it!" he spat, "If not I'll call the cops!"

I pointed at his chair with my FBI Duster 1Saturn and pressed the trigger that sent a vibration up my hand. Because of that, I accidentally moved my hand up and shot the captain turning him into dust. I cursed softly under my breath. Nick entered the room stunned.

"You killed a living person!" he exclaimed. He reached into his backpack at an amazing speed and shot a lime-green substance at me. Wait a minute, where did he obtain that weapon? I attempted asking him but I couldn't move at all, I felt as if I was a statue.

"HA HA HA!" he laughed gloatingly as he pulled off his mask which revealed a short and obese man standing on sticks to make himself roughly the same height as Nick the ninja "I'm Dexter of disguises and you are my latest victim… remember that!"

He grabbed a stick with one hand and raised the other and swung at me. I blacked out.

The first thing I noticed when I regained consciousness was Nick tied onto a chair opposite me. A few seconds later, I felt an explosion; oh no, Derek the daring blew a hole in the ship! I yelled for Nick to wake up but my voice was drowned by the deafening roar of the water gushing in… how much longer until we died? I had to take a risk…. I reached into my pockets and grabbed the FBI Duster 1Saturn and shot it at the rope hoping that I wouldn't be affected by the blast. BANG! I was free!

I did the same to Nick and slapped him frantically until he finally rose from his deep slumber.

"Nick, don't panic." I assured him, "We may drown but if we work on digging our ways out, we may survive but for sure the criminals would have escaped."

He nodded in approval as the wave burst through the door and he grabbed his FBI Freeze 1Mars and fired consistently until the water turned fully to ice.

"It will melt soon, we have to escape NOW!" he bellowed still sounding extremely tired.

We used our gadgets to slowly chip off the ice that were obstructing us until we made it to the heart of the icy palace. BOOM! A huge chunk of ice caved us it and cut off our oxygen supply from the interrogation room. But we kept persisting and chipping off the ice until Nick fainted due to exhaustion that you could sense was going to affect him sooner or later. From that moment, I had to carry out our plans alone and drag the sleeping body of Nick the ninja. After hours of work and crystallised sweat, we finally made it to the end of the glacier.

By then, Nick had woken up again. The whole ship had nearly sunk but luckily there was still a lifeboat in sight with only one person on… I used the FBI Cheese 1Jupiter to clearly see who it was…. It was that scoundrel Derek the daring! I grabbed my FBI Freeze 1Mars and shot at him relentlessly until my weapon overheated too much and forced my to release my firm grip on it

I ran desperately for my life as the last of the ship was about to be sucked into the vast sea. I leapt at the life boat and reached out to grab something in case my long jump wasn't enough. Somehow, Nick landed on the boat before me even though he was tired and started later; but he hauled me on board with the last of his efforts.

We were gasping for breath after that tremendous energy used to escape and watched the ship disappearing into the wonders of the sea. We were discussing what would happen after death when suddenly Singapore was in sight and so we paddled with our hands until we reached our destination and called The Leader.

Moments later, Derek the daring was arrested and sentenced to a lifetime sentence to gaol and interrogation to locate the other notorious criminal warlords. Nick gave his FBI Tracker 1Moon to The Leader as he had a tracker on Dragon the druggy before.

After a rewarding holiday vacation for the mission we'd accomplished; we were informed that Dragon the druggy was arrested and found guilty of the majority of the drug trafficking in the world and will be joining Derek.

"Agents Brian the brain and Nickolas the ninja, I have to once again congratulate you on 90 of catching Dragon the 9th most wanted criminal in the world. Before this, you had also caught Paul the poisonous, 10th most wanted criminal in the world and for all your contributions to the FBI, we will award you with a car in addition to your record of trophies (the horse Tracey)."
