PREVIOUSLY ON RECKLESS REVENGE:
I Rich Baztad,
a DDA personnel,
went to a club to clear my head.
where I met a really funny kid,
john,
watching his persistent attempts to get club chicks,
with my help he finally scored one and left,
just before Lois showed up with my DDA badge.

The sound soon came back on as our lips unlocked; "thank you", I said still holding her hand, as she speechlessly stared at me, " could you stay for a drink?", I requested, she looked at me and walked to the club bar; "I'll take that as a yes", I said and followed.
"two of your best please!", I requested; "so how did you do it?", I asked, " do what ?", she asked ignorant, "get the badge", I replied as the bartender came back with the drinks, she took hers and gulped down the entire thing all at once, "are you ok?", I asked, "can I get another?", she requested, " ummm; sure, another please", I requested.
"Alright!", she said after taking a couple of drinks, " I have something I want to tell you!", she said and belged, her breath reeking of the alcohol, "go on", I said, "the thing is...", she uttered and was interrupted by my ringing phone, "just a sec", I said and answered the phone, regretting why I earlier increased the ringing volume.
"what's up Ray?", I said to Rachael on the other end of the phone, "I got it Rich!", she said with a shade of excitement in her voice, " got what?", I asked, "the search warrant to search Fernando's house!", she replied, " where are you?, it's kinda loud where you are", she asked, "in a club!", I replied, "which one; so I'll come pick you up!", she added, "don't worry, just send me your location, I'll come to you", I adviced, "I can't believe I forgot about that; location!, of course; you are not so far away after all, I'll be right there!", she added and ended the call, "f_ck!", I said and dropped the phone on the bar desk, " what's wrong?", Lois asked, "its nothing, go on", I replied, "...the thing is, I ...", she said and was interrupted by my phone's ringing yet again, " what the f_ck!", I picked the phone and rejected Rachael's call, "please continue", I pleaded; "the thing is I hack, and am really good at it, I learnt how to hack from my dad when I was young, who died due to the mess he was involved in, a mess which almost got I and my brother killed, so we.....", she explained and was interrupted by Rachael who stormed in abruptly, " a young boy was just found dead killed by the heartless de-baller, "it cant be!!", Lois added surprised, as we looked at her, " why kill a young boy", she added, "we have to go, Fernando is on the case remember", she added, " let's get there before he does; and if he is the killer, further twist the murder", she explained, "hi Lois", she said and pulled me out, I followed waving Lois bye.
Rachael held my hands till we got to where her car was, "but I drove here", I said to her reluctant to go into her car, " you'll cone get that later, we have to get there as fast as possible", she explained, " in that case, you need my help", Lois said from behind me, I turned to her in shock to hear her voice, "we are going to use Rich's car", she added, "Rich your keys?", she said opening her palm; " ....alright! ", Rachael said as she slammed her door close.
We got into my car, and had Lois drive; and like a mad person who had nothing to loose, she drove; and after a couple of minutes and some really loud screams from Rachael , we got to the scene of the crime. "Are you out of your mind!", Rachael yelled struggling to open the car door. She threw up as soon as she got down, " are you ok ma'am ", a cop standing just beside the car asked, " do I look OK?", she replied in an hostile manner; "let's hurry!!", she commanded immediately as I and Lois took our time to get down from the car.
We all rushed to the main scene of the crime, fortunately for us, we got there before Fernando, and began the investigation, " I found something", Rachael said picking up a piece of hair from the floor, "let me see?", Lois said as she walked closer to Rachael, " this is a set up!", Lois said seeming so sure, "how do you know!", I asked, " Fernando is usually the first man on the crime scene right?; but for some reason he is no where to be found", she added, "who is no where to be found", Fernando said walking in, "the devil", I replied as everyone in the room chuckled except Fernando and suddenly uptight Lois, "why would you do this!?", Lois asked Fernando obviously about to cry, " why dont you guys conduct your investigation before pointing fingers; besides you are not even a detective", Fernando spoke, "why conduct an investigation when you know who the killer is", I said looking at the bastard , " and who is the killer?", he asked , "its obviously you", I replied pointing at him confidently, "you guys are just.....gosh!..what makes you think am the killer?", he asked, "where were you during this incident?", I asked and the entire place suddenly became quiet, " I was...I was....", he stammered, "see!", I said shaming his futile attempt to cook up a lie "this is stupid!!", he spoke aloud furiously, " how the f_ck am I supposed to remember where I was during the crime's occurrence?, when I don't even know when it occured", he asked, as we all stared at him.
"what do you have?", he asked opening his palm to Rachael, "this is someone's hair", he said, " oh God!", I exlclaimed irritated by his stupidity, "you sure?", Lois added, " yeah look at it!", he said handing it to Lois; "it looks like.....like...the hair of a dolphin!", she added as we all laughed mockingly, "gosh!!...I wonder who put you in charge of this case", she added, " even if you are not the killer, you are too stupid to be on this case!", Rachael added, "give me 24hours, and I'll get you guys the killer, after all I have my first clue!", He said and stormed out with the hair, "alright let's conduct ours!", Rachael said, "I'm so going to love this, working with the 2 best heads I know; especially you Lois", Rachael said smiling."but Fernando's got our only clue", I said looking around, " not all!", Lois said holding up a tiny strand of the hair, "Nice!; let's get to work!", Rachael said, "you mean you get to work!", I said to her, "can't you guys come along, please!", she pleaded, "sorry Ray, we have something important to attend to; just give us a call when you have a DNA match", I said to Rachael as I and Lois walked away.
"Can I spend the night at your place?", I asked, "....Alright, but we have to go get my car at the club first", she said, "alright, my wheels are all yours!", I replied.
We got on the road not before a nice and swift reverse, conducted by Lois!, "where did you learn to drive like that?", I asked , "my...my friend!", she replied, "hmmm...what friend?", I asked inquisitively, still having a tinge that something's being kept a secret, " his name's..was Bernard! he was the best I have seen on wheels", she added, "oh", she said with a slight change in mood, " sorry", I apologised feeling bad for bringing it up, "you drive nice though, but you are not the best I have seen!", I said trying to rekindle the flame the atmosphere once had , "who is?", she asked, "do you really want to know?", I asked trying to play with her, "yeah I do", she replied playing along, "Me!", I replied, "you are joking right?", she questioned laughing, "I'll be taking the wheels on our way back, you'll see!", I bragged, "we going to get mine remember?", she said, "oh right!".
Before I knew it, we were there; back at the club's parking lot; " let's race then", Lois suggested; after a brief pause and some thoughts, I concurred.
We drove out to the road , "one!; two!; three!!!"; she said aloud and we began to drive.
Overtaking car after car, we drove like crazy, performing various stunts on the way , she was obviously better though, but wasn't taking the lead, mainly because of a crossing old lady she almost hit. I was taking the lead, but just by 200 meters away from my opponent, Lois, my phone began to ring , "not now Ray!", I said changing the gear, "the phone sudden to stopped ringing and was on speaker, "hello Rich!", it spoke, " Mr Michael!", I said in shock as I abruptly stepped on the break.
What does Michael want?
