Once a man walked into bar. A cute  bartender asked "what will you take?"
"How about a kiss?" The man giggled.
"Oh! On your hand or a peck on cheeks, uncle." She replied. The man made a face like "what the.."

And Simon and Luwis started laughing while I looked weirdly at them. In what fucking universe was that a good joke? We had been driving for quite a while and there was still pretty long drive left before we arrive to Paris.

My ride had been quite good well if you exclude the casual hyprocisy of Simon and Luwis. One time they started a debate that I couldn't just figure out. I mean what was the fucking point?

"If we time travel before Osama bin Laden attacked World Trade center, then we could warn them and get rich?" Simon said.

"Can't. Time Paradox. If we return to that time and chage such major timeline, we wouldn't know about it , so we wouldn't even think about going back to that moment..."Luwis replied.

"That is not how is worked in the Hot Tub time machine?" Simon groaned.

"Yup it didn't. But that is the truth. We all are just like flash. Change the future by changing present and not past." Luwis sighed.[Flash 1990]

"You guys are weird." I looked at them and continued driving. It was quite late when we finally reached Paris and I was quite taken away by the ambience of city. The gleaming lights , the decoration, the colourful photons saturated in a single place blinking at different time periods. All this was a proof. A proof of why it was called fashion city of the world.

Suddenly a car crashed into us swirling at great speed and punched deep into our back. Before I could turn away , another car lost control and rammed into front. It was good thing,I was wearing seat belt and had air bags coz that was a pretty messy situation to describe the least.

We all got out gasping looking at wrecked car.

"Well gentlemen! Looks like we are in Paris, the  city of Collison." I stomped my feet in frustration.

"Don't worry, Bethel. I am sure insurance will cover it...." Simon trailed off remembering what he had done last time.

Flashback

Year-2009
"Welcome new kid. You see those two . They are the best hackers and most amiable companions that you can ever have?" Mr lepton pointed at a man with grizzly panda beard and guy who was looking at ground for seriously pretty absurd amount of time.

"Hi! Wassup." Simon shook my hand and then Luwis waved.

"So do I have insurance for car yet?" I asked a guy who was finalizing my insurance papers.

"Oh come on! I have been driving these cars for so long . They never break . You know even if they fall from top of building, nothing is gonna happen. Don't waste money on insurance." Simon chuckled. I looked at Mr lepton who remained silent.

"Ok! If you say so." I sighed

Now

"Yeah! Well..."he nervously chuckled.

"I should have never listened to you . Now get out." I told drivers who were still in car. What a nerve they had? After wrecking my fav Lamborghini,they are just gonna hide inside their boring Alto.

No one was coming out. By now , there was quite a crowd waiting for all the excitement. And whenever my eyes fell on someone smirking, I would so wish that it was them here and then we would laugh standing there like an idiot. Well! I don't mean that we are idiots.

I looked at Simon and he sighed.

"I always knew this day would come . A day when my 12th grade boxing championship league training would come in handy . A day when it will save us." He began and I glared. He stopped amd quickly smashed the window pulling out a guy.

Except it wasn't a guy . That is what the problem was. Well! I don't mean that it was a chick either.

"What the ...what the heck, man?" Luwis chittered seeing a metal robot with wires coming out of head.

Many people started to clamour while some were eager to record it.

"Wow! So we are targeted. That is so cool, man." Simon exclaimed and we both looked at him.

"I meant awful. Totally awful." He relented.

"It is good thing now I decided to bring my gun. Doesn't seem like a vacation, does it?" I smirked at them. All of midst, the robot started to move and I quickly brought out my gun shooting it but the bullets just bounced off.

"Oh! Oh man! We are in trouble. Metal versus metal. Shit run!" I told them as we started running. Thankfully because of detective training, they were both fast and I ...well had been running my whole life from parasite of ANC, police from streets , jobs . Ah! This was no time to think about any of that. I had to run or I will be killed by a freaking robot. I didn't even know why? I hadn't handle that much cases even yet. If this was the life of a SBSCC geographer detective , then ok! Let's be ready for it.

"We can't continue running." Both heaved.

"Yeah! It is not like that tin can with command will stop until it kill us. I have an idea. You two go to that side and then meet me at coming centre in front." I told them and they nodded.

There were three lanes . The straight lane , right and left lane. Both went to right and I went to left. Plan was to move around and again meet at 1 km ahead on straight lane.

The robot started following me . Oh! That is great. I need a car.

I saw a man was talking on phone and getting in car .

"Hey! I need your car ." I told him .

"What the fuck you talking about?" He fainted seeing the robot running.

"Huh! Well that worked out." I quickly started the car and robot jumped on its roof.

"Oh come on! You tin can. Give up ." I groaned swirling it fastly to throw it off car's roof but son of machine was still there.

There was a crossover now . If I turn left , I will arrive at centre where we agreed to meet but then Simon and Luwis may get endangered by tin can. So I did something stupid.

I increased the speed to max and continued driving swirling and all as it shook . The whole environment was becoming tense and I was pretty sure that I will hit a car or robot will come in front of windshield, break it and killing me.

There was a flyover coming and it was my chance to do something unrealistic in real. I sped the car towards end of flyover bridge and just as it bumped towards it , I jumped outside to road rolling off .

I looked up breathing relaxed when I saw that the car and robot both were smashed to ground..

"Hey Bethel! Why did you not turn left?" Simon's voice ringed.

"How the hell did you find me?" I asked surprised.

"Your phone. GPS. Hackable." Simon sighed.

"Of course it is. Let's go. We don't wanna stay another day in this city of collision." I laughed and then shortly after Luwis accompanied us. We told everything to Mr lepton who seemed concerned.

"If they have capability to send billion dollar killer robots after three agents of SBSCC, I fear Bethel, the stakes are higher than ever." He sighed.

"Don't worry sir. We will find that son of *****. We always do and then he can make as much as robots he want with that pebbled he will have in his compartment." I put down the phone.

"Wow! You really must have a tough job." A passer by girl giggled as I came out of telephone booth .[Yes! They were much secure]

"Yeah! You could say that." I chuckled and they went away to find Simon and Luwis in nearby cafe. I wasn't sure what was about to happen and if we are ready enough to bring it down. But our lives are now in bigger games and if they are willing to stake their cover to kill us, then we are also capable of raising the stakes.

Keep posted for next chapter. coming soon
