Chapter 12: CAUGHT!
One week of studying Larry, the team knew he just recently purchased a condo along the north side of the North Island, that Saturday night, there was a SWAT team lined up for a full-blown assault on Larry's condo.
"We're ready to move in," SWAT Commander Blackbird said as he suited up, "You four stay here, and monitor our approach."
"Honestly Blackbird," Sasuke said, "This is the worst idea you've ever had."
"No disrespect Sir," Blackbird said, "But this is my squad, back off!"
The doors then slammed in Sasuke's face as Blackbird led his team up to the condo, Sasuke sat down in the chair next to the door, exhaled slowly, and then rubbed his head.
"I know that face Sasuke," Naruto said, "What is it?"
Sasuke looked at the UAV thermal monitor feed, "I don't know how Larry's doing it, but I know he's not in there." Sasuke said.
"Why," Lee asked, "Sasuke, we've worked together long enough to know that your theories are almost always right."
"How do you know he's not up there?" Hinata asked.
"We've hunted him for two years," Sasuke said, "I know his mind-set, and I know he knew it was only a matter of time before we'd find him."
"If he's not up there then where is he?" Naruto asked.
"Honestly I think he's on his way to a private airport," Sasuke said, "I think he's going to flee."
"Then we need to get there," Lee said as he kicked the back door open to reveal a black Ferrari California, he then turned around to face Sasuke, "You prepared for this didn't you?"
"Yep," Sasuke said as he jumped onto the ground, ran around to the driver's door, and jumped in, "Get in!"
Lee ran around to the passenger-side door, raised the front seat, and jumped into the back seat behind Sasuke, Hinata jumped into the seat behind Naruto who jumped into the passenger-side door, lowered the seat back into position, and jumped into the seat, closing the door behind him.
As soon as everyone buckled in, Sasuke started up the California, threw the car into first, and slammed on the gas.
Once on the main road, Hinata was searching for private airfields, and found only one that could have been Larry's, "I think I found it," Hinata said, "KE Airfield, the place has absolutely no history of criminal activity!"
"Larry will be expecting that," Sasuke said, "Are there any others?" "One," Hinata said, "Anderson Airfield, its five miles up the road!"
Twenty minutes later, Sasuke pulled the Ferrari onto KE Airfield's tarmac, where a small Cessna 182 with Larry inside the plane was pulling out on the airfield.
"You were right," Naruto exclaimed, "He's getting away!"
"No he's not," Sasuke said as he hit the button that retracted the roof, "Lee, there's a weapon's case underneath you seat, grab it!"
Lee reached underneath his seat, and pulled out a large weapon's case, he swiftly opened it, and produced an M4 Carbine.
Lee quickly slapped the magazine into place, and pulled back on the cocking-drive, "I got it!" Lee exclaimed.
Sasuke pulled the California up beside the Cessna, and then turned to face Lee, "Lee, I'm going to pull up along front," Sasuke shouted over the roar of the Cessna's propeller, "Make those shots count!"
Right as the Ferrari was ahead of the Cessna, in one swift move: Sasuke grabbed the hand-brake, and yanked it towards him as he jerked the steering wheel to the right, sending the California spinning in front of the plane.
Just as they were in front, Lee shot out of his seat with the M4 Carbine raised, Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata then pulled out their pistols, and fired at the plane as Lee opened full-auto.
The bullets tore through the blade, ripped apart the engine, and just as the California cleared the area in front of the Cessna, the plane's engine burst into flames.
Sasuke stopped the California on the side of the tarmac as the Cessna screeched to a stop, the wings fell off, and then the plane burst into flames.
"Nice work," Sasuke said as he stepped out of the Ferrari, pulled out his M1911, and ejected his spent magazine, "Stay here," he loaded a fresh magazine, and pressed the slide-release, and the slide slid back into place, "He's mine."
Switchblade Shark and Laceration Larry scrambled out of the Cessna, as soon as they got away, Shark looked up, and saw Sasuke walking toward him: Shark reached for his pistol, drawing it, and pulling the trigger, only to have a click escape from the barrel.
Shark reached for his belt, pulled out a spare magazine, and as he was loading it, Sasuke raised his M1911, and fired five times: Shark's arm flew upwards, and he fell backwards, his head landed on the tarmac with a thud.
Larry swiftly crawled over to Shark, and just as he put his hand on the grip of Shark's pistol, Sasuke severed off Larry's trigger finger with a bullet, and stomped on the wound: Larry screamed in pain as the already-shattered bones in his knuckles ripped apart in the skin underneath the force of the boot's steel sole.
Larry looked at the boot, and saw the silver engraving of boot's toe: he looked up, and recognized the premium Denim Jeans, the white shirt, and the leather jacket.
Sasuke then pointed the barrel of his M1911 right in Larry's face, "It was you." Larry said. "That's right Larry," Sasuke said, "Kakashi wasn't the one that put you behind bars," it was then that the SWAT team they brought to the island ran up, and covered Larry, "It was me," Sasuke put his M1911 away, and kicked Larry across the face, knocking him to the ground, and the SWAT team then slapped Larry into handcuffs, "And this time, the judge won't give you life in prison."
The SWAT team then loaded Switchblade Shark into a body-bag, and then zipped him up inside.
"So we finally got the bastard," Naruto said as the four cops watched when the SWAT team strapped Larry into a straight-jacket, and then threw him into the back of the SWAT truck, "We rescued Kakashi, busted Ethan, killed Shark, and arrested Larry. You've defeated your nemesis Sasuke."
"He was never my nemesis Naruto," Sasuke said, "He was always my enemy, but never my nemesis."
"We did good today," Lee said, "Not only for New York, but also for the world."
"Why don't we go home?" Hinata asked.
"That a good idea," Sasuke said, "Sakura's waiting."
"Did you propose to her yet?" Hinata asked.
"Yes I did," Sasuke said as he got in the California, "This time next year her name's going to be Mrs. Sakura Haruno Uchiha. And me and her are going to be parents."
