Capítulo 66: IE: Chapter 66. Being Targeted.
Noah jumped down the steps and rushed over faster than J, only to see the man who had broken into the car jump on a motorcycle and run away.
"Why don't you go after him, drag him down, and beat him up real good!" J gestured his fist. If they had come down a little later, there was no telling what it would look like.
"Zed said we should try to keep a low profile. Do you want us to beat him up first, then erase his memory? If Zed finds out, we will be punished."
"Besides, my car was modified, and it's not something a petty thief could break into. And he's already running; why didn't you shoot him and finish him off?"
J looked at Noah, "You think this is a common car theft? Let me, an ex-detective, tell you. There's definitely something wrong with him!"
"What kind of car is this, a Ford F150? It's a very nice pickup but look at the lack of any sort of decoration on it. Would anyone really try to break into it?"
"If he came to steal a car, then why ride a motorcycle? All the car thieves I've caught breaking into cars would be walking on their own or have a partner."
"One of them would act as a lookout, waiting in their ride. Just now, there was only one person!"
"Would a normal person expect our cars to be special? If they wanted to steal it, the easiest thing to do wouldn't be to pick the lock but to smash the glass. Don't you think the guy was a bit too fast when he jumped on his motorcycle?"
Noah recalled carefully that the man's actions were indeed a bit too fast. It really didn't feel like a normal thief. He immediately switched on the Alien Radar.
A red dot was rapidly moving away from them, 'The car thief is an alien!'
"J, get in the car. We're going after him."
There're no street lights up ahead, and there's a fork in the road. Do you know which way he went?" J closed the car door, and suddenly a strong feeling of falling back came over him. He immediately grabbed the side 'oh shit, handle'. "It's dark! You're driving too fast!"
"J, I trust your judgement. However, there is definitely something wrong with that man just now. Have you ever thought about it? We know that an alien smuggling ship is coming to New Jersey, so they must have some people to meet up with here."
"The man just now may be one of them. I think he's an alien."
J: "???"
'Just because I said the guy didn't look like a car thief, you're calling someone an alien? That's a stretch, isn't it? Besides, they've been gone for over a minute. Where are you going to chase them now?'
'That motorcycle has its taillights removed, and you just made two turns. Are you sure you're not taking chances?'
He was just about to speak when he suddenly stopped talking. Under the illumination of the streetlights, a motorcycle could be faintly seen dozens of meters in front of them.
"How did you know he turned this way?!"
"Took a guess." Noah looked at the red dot on the Alien Radar and casually stumped J.
J's head leaned out of the window, holding the Series 2 De-Atomizer gun; he shouted, "Hey, stop, or I'll shoot!"
The motorcycle didn't stop nor slow down. Instead, it bobbed from side to side and picked up speed. This made J angry, 'The bastard actually ignored me!'
Bang!
J fired a shot, but it didn't hit anything. Instead, a tree on the side of the road suffered a blow, and a huge chunk of its trunk went missing.
"N, keep the car steady! I'm gonna try to aim in front of him, force him to stop."
"You can't shoot, and you're blaming me for driving erratically? Watch me! One-shot."
Noah held the gun in his left hand and stuck it out of the window. With a bang, the motorcycle burst into flames.
J looked at Noah, "If you're going to take him out, I can do that too! What now? The guy is dead. Fortunately, he's an alien. If he were an earthling, you'd be fired."
Noah also wanted to catch the guy alive. He thought that his LV5 marksmanship was good enough, but who would have thought that the alien would suddenly accelerate? He slammed right into the energy bomb path, and the motorcycle exploded, blowing up half the alien's body. Scales could still be seen on the corpse.
But the good news was that Noah once again got a treasure chest, although it was only a bronze treasure chest.
"J, the point is, he's really an alien. Do you think he tried to steal the car because he was stupid, or did he know that it was a M.I.B agent's car?" Noah asked.
"It must be his stupidity. Maybe this motorcycle was also stolen. Why would an alien try to steal a M.I.B car? That would be looking for trouble. Besides, we have subtle signs on our cars. Aliens would look at our car, like how any New Yorker would look at cop cars with big NYPD letters on it..."
At this point, J paused, "That's right! There are signs on our cars. Every alien who enters the earth through legal means would know them."
"Either he did it on purpose, or he smuggled himself into Earth. N, call headquarters and ask the logistics crew to come and handle it. At the same time, check to see if any registered alien documents have disappeared."
"Gad damn it! The concert tickets I booked were wasted! I hope they come as soon as possible and let us go to that club."
"You haven't told me which singer's concert it was," Noah asked as he took out his communicator.
"I don't know. Anyway, it was a very pretty woman. I heard she's a fantastic dancer and wears very little."
Noah: (￣ー￣*|||
Sure enough, J wanted to 'see' the concert.
...
In a suburban villa in New Jersey, a party was being held, and a lot of people were dancing to music in the living room on the first floor. The host saw a man standing on the stairs of the second floor. He greeted the other guests and walked toward the first floor.
"So, is Sam back?"
"Boss, I sensed that Sam died." The people of their planet don't fight very well, but between brothers of the same litter, who weren't too far away, there was a faint sense of awareness.
And now that he couldn't sense Sam anymore, and Sam couldn't have suddenly left, there was only one possibility. That was death.
'What did the boss send Sam to do, and why did he die? Sam would be able to run from ordinary earthlings, even ones with shotguns.
"Dead?!" The boss was also a little surprised.
He just found out that a M.I.B agent's car had arrived in New Jersey and wanted Sam to lure the other party away. Just the other day, one of his men was arrested. Tomorrow night, their important transaction was going down. He had already negotiated with the other party and even received a down payment. Nothing could happen in this deal.
"Don't be sad. I'll get revenge for Sam. Remember, don't make a move without my order. When the deal is done, I will give you the most powerful weapon. You can take revenge with your own hands."
"Then we'll be able to leave. You'll have a large sum of money to take home and live comfortably. Until then, I'll kill anyone who messes with my business!"
"Come on, come downstairs with me. Some Earthling females are also beautiful."
