Ch-02. Alex Lawrence and The First Three Man.

The reflection reflected in the mirror was of a slightly rather slender young man, perhaps about 169 cm (6 in.), about 19 or 20 years of age, but less than 22. His face was oval, with neatly curved eyebrows, the turquoise eyes were slightly bigger with long eyelashes, rather long brown hair that looked ruffled.

“No! It wasn’t me.. Not me..” The young man mumbled, his head shaking firmly as if to shake off or deny what he had seen.

Before long he went back to mumbling to himself, “Relax Moon. Be calm. You need to calm down. Don’t panic. You’re a good detective, so think about what happened, find a clue and come up with a solution.”

A few moments later he seemed to breathe deeply and as he breathed, his hands were also seen going up and down.

The young man who called himself Moon then checked the entire narrow room. There was no chair in the small room, only a coked-colored sofa bed, a small table with a small rack on the side of the small table, a mirror hanging on the wall, as well as a small bathroom.

He did not find much, other than a few clothes in a small closet, he found only a guitar, a wallet, books, and a few pictures. He opened the wallet and found three 10-dollar bills, several pennies under two dollars, a photo and an id in a wallet.

He took out the id card, then spoke to himself as he read the id card, “Alex Lawrence. 20 years old. Male. Omega. Student.”

He then looked in the mirror, talking to his own reflection, "It seems that you and I are both dead. Your spirit went to the other world, but my spirit didn't go away and I don't know how my spirit was able to occupy your body, Alex. All I know now is my name is no longer Luke Stanfield, but Alex Lawrence.”

He then smiled broadly and said to his reflection again, “Hey.. Isn't this absolutely amazing? I was 11 years younger."

A short time later the smile on his face vanished quickly, replaced with a sad look on his face, and he mumbled, “How is sky? Is he all right?”

“Alex Lawrence, come out!!” Along with the shouting, there was a row of pounding at the door, which made him flinch.

“I know you're in there. Open up! Or you will know the consequences.” The threatening voice is heard again.

“What's going on?” Moon asked as he opened the door and saw three big men standing in front of him.

“Quickly, return what you took from us!!” said one of them with loud voices and cruel eyes.

He, Moon frowned upon him at those words. Even the three of them were much bigger then him, but Moon didn’t afraid of them and in his indifferent manner he then asked, “Who are you?”

“Don't pretend you don't know us, you rotten thief!!” again, the big man yelling at Moon.

“Really, I really don't know what you're talking about.”

“Rotten thief. Useless fellow.”

Hearing the man's words sent Moon back to frown his brow and he said in a tone of disfavor, “I've been hearing you call me a rotten thief. Rotten thief. And now you're calling me useless. What exactly do you mean, huh! And what have I taken from you?”

“If it wasn't me who saved you a year ago, you'd be dead. Instead of thanking me, you dare to steal my stuff. What a proper name for you if not a rotten thief.”

One of the two who had been there for a while, suddenly approached the person who had spoken to Moon, and then he said, “Second brother, you don’t have to talk to him. Let's search the house instead. I'm sure it's hidden here.”

“That’s right, second brother. Let's search the house.” Said the third.

Hearing the words of the two, without much to say, the first one steps on his feet, raising his hand to get rid of Moon's body that had been standing in the doorway. But Moon was basically an experienced detective, not only in investigations, but also in martial arts, whether it was bare hands or using weapons, so he couldn't just get rid of it with the sheer grit of the man’s hand. Moon, he immediately took hold of the first big man's hand and with a movements that he moved his hand, suddenly heard a crack along with the screams of pain from the big man holding his wrist.

“You! Damn you! You broke my arm!”

“Not my foul, it's you who forced me, first. If you tell me exactly what you just said earlier and you call me your boss, I’ll fix your wrist right away. I guarantee you’ll get well soon and you’ll never have to see a doctor.”

But the first man ignored him and looked at the other two, he then shouted to them, “Both of you. I want you to beat him so badly.”

After the order got out of the guy then the other two raised their fists and then began to move to where Moon was. They seemed wanted to hit Moon’s head or face, but Moon only moved his head and body and easily dodged that punch. Then he moved his feet, followed with a rapid movement he launched a kick to their waist, making them both lie down while moaning in pain.

“What happened to him? How is it that in less than a week he who was once a coward and good for nothing is now an expert in this fight?” This question crossed the mind of the so-called second brother.

“I want to see if he can dodge this too.” As soon as the thought crosses his mind, he pulls out a jack-knife with his left arm.

“Take this.” As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the first guy then lunged over Moon with his outstretched hand and held a jack-knife.

Seeing that make one of Moon’s lips corner rose a little bit, he only moved his body and used his hands to cope with the knife. Since his movements so quickly made the other two unable to see what was happening and then suddenly it was in Moon’s hands. Those three who were much bigger than Moon could just gape at the action. Moon slowly walked toward the second brother, crouched in front of him and placed the blade of the knife on the second brother’s cheek.

“Well? Would you three like to call me big boss? Or you still want to fight me?” Moon sounds like he's joking, but his eyes are firm when he looking at the three of them make them feel more fear of him.

All three of them simultaneously without being called out again and without a direct signal saying, “Big boss.”

With a big smile, Moon, he then stood up and said, “Good. Very good. Now all of you follow me inside.”

The three big men could only sit on the floor while Moon sat on the sofa bed in front of them. He then looked at the first person and said to him, “Give me your hand.”

The first man then raised his hand, Moon then took hold of the man's hand, he slowly moved it, then all of a sudden and without warning he pulled at the wrist of the first big man until the sound of crack was heard, what Moon did made the first big man shout loudly.

“Done. Your hand is back to normal.”

The first big man then slowly moved his wrists, he then looked at the other two and then the three of them saw Moon in amazement.

Then after he restored the wrist of the first person, Moon looking at the first big man and asking him, “Tell me your name. And why are you pursuing me?”

“Don't you recognize us, Alex? We..” The first man stops when he sees Moon staring at him with one eyebrow raised.

He then coughed up and said, “Sorry. I mean big boss. Don’t you recognize us, big boss?”

Wrapped his arms, Moon, he then talk, “If I know who you are then why am I asking you, idiots?”

The three big man looking at each other and before the first big man could answer, one of the other two asked Moon in a tone of fear and astonishment, “Sorry, big boss. Do you have amnesia?“

What the other big man said made Moon look at him for a while. One of the corner of Moon’s lips rose slightly, he then held his chin with his thumb while his index finger tapped his upper lip, thinking, “It’s a good idea to hide my true identity.”

Then he said to them, “Yeah, I got amnesia after I fell a few weeks ago and my head hit the floor. I don't even know who I am and can't remember my own name.”

“You haven't been able to fight at all in a while. Then why are you so good at fighting, and you also know how to Pierce a bone, boss.” The first big man asked in amazement.

“I don't know either. I just follow my instinct.”

Moon moved his hand as he impatiently said, “Okay. Stop talking about me. Now tell me your names and what do you mean by me taking that thing? And what is that stuff?"

“My name, Sam, and I’m called big bear. He’s Jack, he's called tiger and he's Hendry, he's called truck.” When the first big guy says his name, he also points at the other two big guys.

Moon nodded and then spoke, “So the thing I took from you, is?”

“A quarter pound of drugs.”

“That’s a lot of drugs. Are you drugs seller?” Moon’s eyes squinted when he talk and looking at big bear.

Big bear shooking his head as Moon asking it.

He then spoke, “No, big boss. Someone gave it to us and we must delivery it to someone else in the other city.”

Hearing it makes a detective instinct inside Moon rise to life. He quickly bombard the big bear, “Tell me, where did you meet your go-to guy? Give me the name of the man who instructed you to do it. When you will deliver the item and also the name of the person who will receive it from you.”

“If I told you, you wouldn't report us to the police, right boss? We don't want to be captured and rot in jail.” Fearfully, the big bear asked moon, being followed by dragging the heads of the other two.

“Do not be afraid. You're safe as long as you're with me.” Moon smiled when he said that.

“Thank god.” A note of relief was reflected in the voices of the three of them.

Suddenly his face turned firmly and fearfully when he said, “But if I know you betrayed the trust I've given you, I will kill you or I will send you to prison and you will rot there until your death comes. Understood.”

The three of them nodded repeatedly while Moon continued, “Keep that in mind in the three of you.”
