7 Konner King and the Merry Boys

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? The cover art changed in the meantime, did you notice? Oh, and by the way, the auxiliary volume is now the volume one. The chimp needed the word count. And hello there, new and old readers—welcome back and I can still guarantee you nothing but hope that this time, the relationship between us will be longer. And I'm totally not sad that people didn't remember me—but that means I'll have to make myself memorable!" Greg screamed at the empty wall in his apartment with a slight hope in his tone.

"What the hell are you doing? Have you gone insane?" Olivia made her entrance out of nowhere, which made Greg look like a retard. But, what can we do about that, right?

"Shut up, Chimp! Guys, hope you enjoy it!" Greg waved goodbye as he ran away from his apartment, feeling shameful of himself. Apparently, he does feel shame!

Upon Konner King's spectacular entry, the entire police station entered a frenzy—well, everyone except the guy who was masturbating. He just kept on masturbating per usual.

While many ran through the station trying to find the handcuffs and misplaced guns or grenade launcher, in Oleg's case, Harry didn't waste any time dashing towards the notorious criminal of the neighborhood. However, the grace in his face reflected on his form too. Konner was able to skillfully avoid every attack that Harry launched.

"Hey there, Greg! Long time no see. How are you doing?" Konner waved his hand like crazy. This split second stupidity was all that Harry asked for. He packed a solid punch on Konner's beautiful face, sending him off to quite a distance.

"Hey, don't underestimate me!" Harry roared as he clenched his fist tighter. The warning shot had been fired. Now the battle began.

Konner said nothing quirky; he rose up and he had a nasty look on his face. His sense of balance was a little lost with that punch. But, he didn't care. He rushed towards Harry and engaged in a fist fight. He gave back the punch that he received, but was surprised to see that Harry was still standing. From then on, it was a series of exchanging blows with each other.

The punches resonated throughout the police station. Many officers stopped running around and spectated the fight and awed at the fact that their vice-captain stood toe-to-toe with the King himself.

A few amongst them saw this as an opportunity to capture Konner and headed towards the fight. But Kevon stopped them. "Wait, it's his fight. Let him do his thing." Many raised their voices in displeasure but Kevon assured them. "Well, if Harry can't finish him, which would just mean that he's an incompetent policeman."

Even while fighting, Harry made out what Kevon said and got furious. "What? How dare you…" But this time, Konner was the one who took advantage of Harry lapsed judgment as he gave him a punch to the gut that leaved Harry floored.

"This is what you get for talking while we're on a fight." Harry got the taste of his own medicine as he held his gut tight. "Now, time to deal with these guys." Konner took out a gun and shot fire at them. Luckily, no one got injured. But little did they expect a hoard of people gushing into the station upon hearing the gunshot.

"Everyone, take stance! It's the merry boys!" Kevon shouted as rushed head first towards them. The others followed. And a huge brawl ensued.

On the other side, Konner was quick to follow up on the attack. In the meantime, he ordered few of the merry boys to lead Greg safely back to the warehouse. However the merry boys were distressed.

"But, leader…"

"No ifs and buts. Just do it. We'll do the talk later." Konner knew about the internal displeasure of him favoring Greg. But he chose not to mind it and headed towards Kevon.

"Boss, no! I'll get to him!" Harry coughed as he got up. He wanted to continue his fight with Konner.

"Yuka, throw me the gun!" He commanded and Yuka didn't even hesitate for a second. Harry fired a few shots as soon as he got hold of the gun. However, his stance wasn't stable enough and hence the trajectories were all a miss. Konner grabbed the opportunity and a bullet thrust into his leg in no time.

Everything happened in quick succession that the captain couldn't even order a single thing. Seeing his subordinate on the ground with a bullet in his leg was enough to drive him to a frenzy. Everyone had the same sentiment, except Oleg—he was happy that Harry got shot; he threw the grenades for his personal pleasure.

Konner felt overwhelmed by the pressure exerted by the police squad. But just when he felt cornered, a news came to him. "Leader, Greg is gone!" Konner was relieved, since that would mean that the guys he assigned did the task successfully. Now he had no reason to stay put; he immediately withdrew.

"Fuck! Yuki, follow them; and don't lose their trial." Kevon assigned one of department's speedsters to chase them down.

Harry opened his eyes. He somehow lost consciousness after getting hit on the legs which made him feel pathetic. He felt like he should've followed up with a few more shots. His mind was troubled.

"You up?" It was Kevon. He stood beside Harry the entire time. He felt relieved as well as the rest of the department—except Oleg—he just clicked with disappointment. Harry slowly raised his middle finger towards Oleg.

Meanwhile, Yuki returned from his chase. But he was unable to follow them. As a herd or not, the members of merry boys were more than capable of slithering away. It was not surprising that they escaped.

But Harry had a bigger question in his mind. "Cap, where's Greg?"

***

A triumphant return with no casualties; Konner thought of it as a win. He even had Greg in his hand now. It was certainly a victory for him.

"Guys, today was a victory. We got Greg in our grasp now and we won't let him go. So let's head to the warehouse soon." Konner commanded his troops.

"But leader…" A voice was heard from behind. Konner decided to explain his intentions with saving Greg, when he realized that the person assigned with bringing Greg to the warehouse was still with them.

"Hey, what're you doing here? Where's Greg then?" Konner was confused.

"Leader, Greg escaped while you engaged on a fistfight with the vice-captain." The guy explained.

"Eh?" Konnor was dumbfounded.
