Chapter 13

"Kid Detectives?" Flyer said.

"Calm down, children," Dominic said. "No need to rush."

"Whatever," Kairo said. "We heard you are in partnership with the new kids on the block."

"What?" Dominic said. "No! It is the Flying Brothers!"

"What is up with you?" Majid asked Kairo, who spoke wrongly.

"Err…sorry," Kairo said. "My mistake."

Kairo then realised there was only one of the Brothers still standing.

"There seems to be no more Flying Brothers," he said. "But just a flying brother over there."

"Well then," Alif said, "let us catch them!"

A fight began. The kids were small and, if compared to the fully-equipped Flyer and a furious, irritated Dominic, they looked to be no match for them. However, all they had to do was work together, and use what skills they have to hopefully bring the enemies to justice.

It was not easy. Flyer was already floating on air, and moving at a fast rate. He kept the room under surveillance as he roamed left and right with ease. Even while roaming the room, he was able to fire his laser beam from his hand gloves. The kids had to frequently hide on empty spaces, or behind the couch. Surprisingly, Dominic just looked on without much action.

"Dominic!" Flyer said. "I need some help here."

"Forget it," was Dominic's reply. He would eventually stop standing there, but he left his office and went somewhere else.

However, Alif and Majid spotted him and went after him, to make sure he was brought to justice. The other three kids, Kairo, Aman and Marib focused on avoiding the attacks by the Flyer. Shots after shots were fired, until another window broke.

Suddenly, right after the window broke, a huge stream of air movement became present. Since the office was on one of the top floors, air felt to be moving a little fast into the office that lost two glass windows. The kids had to hold on to something to avoid falling off the building. Even Flyer was struggling to hold on while floating.

Eventually, Dominic was caught, and tied with a string by Alif, without much resistance. Actually, Dominic fell to the ground, his face hitting the ground flat. That caused him to go out cold. As for Flyer, he was resisting the fast air movement, but he would later be hit by small rocks, and flying birds. The birds were pushed into the office, and they would work hard to get out of it afterwards.

The intervention allowed Kairo to get close enough to break the harness. Kairo tried his luck by jumping towards Flyer, even at times of high air pressure and movement, to shoot his water pistol on the harness. His first shot missed the harness, and he would be caught by Flyer.

Flyer was about to finish Kairo off with his beam, but just in the nick of time, he managed to shoot his water pistol with full power. On full power, the pistol released a lot of water that would enter the harness and eventually rendered it unusable. The recovered Brothers were not able to assist their leader, as they were all tied up by the kids, along with Dominic, who was dragged into the room after he fainted.

After Flyer's harness broke, he did try to fight back, but teamwork by Kairo and Majid enabled the two kids to take the bigger man down. The air would move at a slower speed than previously, to the relief of the kids.

Majid checked on Kairo, who was almost taken out.

"Are you okay, Kairo?" Majid asked.

"Yes," Kairo said. "I am fine," he continued, before bursting to tears because he almost got killed.

"Please," Alif said, "do not cry, little brother," he continued to comfort his friend. "You are fine now."

"Okay…" Kairo said as he wiped his tears away. He soon said, "…thank you for helping me, all of you."

"You are most welcome!" an enthusiastic Aman said. "We did it! We just captured the villains of this city."

"I guess we did," Majid said. "So, let us send them to the police."

"Then, what?" Kairo asked.

"Then…" Alif said, "…it is 9.30 pm. Tomorrow is still a weekend. So…we play!"

"Good idea," Majid said. "Let us play the PlayStation after we go to Kairo's house."

"Okay," Kairo said, still wiping his face, but with a smile.

While the kids brought along the criminals out of the building, they would coincidentally meet some young policemen. The policemen would thank the kids for catching them, and they would be brought to justice. Then, the kids could go home and have fun while it lasts.
