Chapter 80 The Valiant Ah Meow (2/2)
”It’s just three of them, use the height advantage to get rid of them!”
Hearing the shouts, Rose raised her weapon and fired. ”Rush in! I’ll cover! Rush in!”
More rifle barrels stuck out from upstairs. One of them was a semi-automatic. Gun sparks flew, and bullets sprayed all over the wooden floor.
Luckily, they took under cover in a blind spot behind a large sofa. They were not hit.
The men upstairs also realized, so one used the semi-automatic to keep them trapped behind the couch while two crouched down under the spray of bullets and began to come downstairs.
”We can’t let them come down!” Alison shouted.
They couldn’t even lift their heads; bullets were flying right above them. Li Du had no other means to help, and yelled to Ah Meow, ”Run!”
Ah Meow stared widely and ran from his bag. It then crawled under the sofa.
The ocelot was silent, and ran as fast as lightning toward the stairs after climbing out from under the sofa.
The two had no time to react before Ah Meow sprang into the air in front of their eyes.
The scar-faced man raised his hunting rifle and pulled the trigger. Bang!
”Ah Meow!” Li Du yelled.
The ocelot did not jump toward them directly, but instead jumped onto the stairs and successfully evaded the shot.
Ah Meow leapt into the air, did a magical 180-degree spin, and grabbed onto the smooth railing. It then made another split-second decision and jumped toward Scarface, giving a swipe with its claw.
A wail sounded, and he screamed, ”Argh, f*ck!”
Ah Meow used Scarface as a platform and then jumped onto the back of Robert. With claws like Wolverine, it made two swipes. Robert threw away his gun and covered his face, wailing pitifully like Scarface had. ”My eyes! I’m blind!”
Just a moment later and the struggle was over. Ah Meow did not stop, but instead ran rapidly up the stairs, its long tail sidewinding like a snake.
The man upstairs had not made any counterattack. Only a shout of surprise was heard, and followed by a whimper. ”Ahhh, it hurts! D*mn this son of a b*tch! Get off!”
Rose gritted her teeth, held her gun, and rushed in to disarm the gun from Scarface.
Alison followed behind her; at this point, Scarface and Robert had already lost their ability to resist. They could only sit there, whimpering in pain while covering their faces.
The two handcuffed them. It was then that the police vehicle had arrive, and a group of officers armed to the teeth came and shouted from outside, ”Rose! Alison! How’s the situation!?”
Ah Meow was biting on an AR-15 rifle gleefully and poked its head out from upstairs. But since it was not as long as the rifle, it waddled unstably down the stairs, finally slipping and falling when it lost its footing.
Li Du rushed upstairs and called out to it, ”What the h*ll!? You wild child, didn’t I tell you to run?!”
Rose cuffed the man with the afro who was hiding upstairs, and Alison shouted outside, ”It’s fine to enter! The situation is now completely under control!”
A group of officers rushed in. When they saw the two bloodied faces of the ruffians, they unconsciously swallowed their saliva. ”Sh*t, that’s tragic!”
Rose coldly said, ”The one upstairs is even worse—call an ambulance, quick!”
The officers began searching the house. Soon, a young man from the attic dug out a backpack and yelled, ”Boss, the jewelry that was stolen in LA is all here!”
The middle-aged white officer sternly nodded, then looked to Rose and said, ”Situation report!”
Rose saluted and was about to speak, when Li Du cut in, ”It’s like this, officer: We were on our way back to you when we ran into Officer Alison. She then explained to us the condition of this house. We felt that something was amiss, so we came together to check again.”
The white officer looked at him, and then back to Rose, ”Was that what happened?”
Rose bit her lip and said, ”Yes, sir!”
The white officer patted Rose and Alison’s shoulders. ”Great job!”
Li Du said, ”Don’t say these pretty words just yet, sir. We had an agreement before, so now is the time to fulfill it, right?
