Chapter 5

Nate punched at his phone. "I just talked to Misty Swanson, the manager over at the Lord Henry. Ryder Mackenzie is still checked into his room. If we're gonna bust him, we better do it now before he catches wind that we're onto him."

The friends got up from their desks, but Jo never felt worse about being a cop. "Are we really gonna put this guy away after everything he did for us? We would be dead right now if it wasn't for him."

"Kingston would be dead right now, too," Kat pointed out. "The Dark Avenger didn't let him get away."

"He should have done us all a favor and stuffed a rocket down Kingston's throat," Blake muttered. "Then he should have flown off into the sunset and disappeared. That would be the smart thing to do."

"We don't know Mackenzie is the Dark Avenger," Jo remarked. "He's too smart to hang around town waiting to get arrested after attacking Kingston in broad daylight. Why would he stay in town and even at the same hotel where we could find him if he wasn't innocent?"

The friends talked in low tones on their way out of the Station. "At least we don't have to wonder anymore if Chief Bates is the Dark Avenger," Nate murmured. "He was right there with us while the Dark Avenger was climbing all over that chopper."

"He wouldn't send us to arrest himself, either," Blake pointed out. "That would be the height of stupidity."

"So why did the Dark Avenger target Kingston?" Jo asked. "He must have a massive grudge against Kingston to do something like that. We haven't established a connection between Mackenzie and Kingston. As far as we know, they're complete strangers to each other."

"Unless the Dark Avenger just wants to stop Kingston from being such a raging prick," Kat replied. "Maybe the Dark Avenger just took it on himself to put a criminal behind bars."

Blake cracked a grin at her. "You mean kinda like.... oh, I don't know...like Batman?"

Kat made a face. "This isn't Batman. He's just a guy with a sense of justice. Does he really need any other motive?"

"Yeah, he does," Jo told her. "A vigilante putting criminals behind bars wouldn't make such an ostentatious show of flouting the Police. Besides, he didn't have to blow up the limo to bust Kingston. He already did that by unburying the safe."

"He didn't use the chopper to unbury the safe," Nate countered. "If he had control of the chopper in the first place, he wouldn't need to tear it apart to turn it on Kingston."

"So who was in control of the chopper? Why would they blow up the warehouse if not to unbury the safe?"

"To stop us from retrieving the evidence, of course," Blake interjected.

Jo shook her head. "There are still too many unanswered questions. Why would he use the chopper to blow up the limo and then not finish Kingston off? If he wanted so bad to stop Kingston, he would have killed the fucker when he had the chance.
