"I was. Until things got a little out of control." Bradley replied.

Agent Jacobs stooped to check their pulses. "They're out cold. And with the bruises on this one's neck--" He turned to Bradley. "You were questioning them alone?"

"I'm the only one on this beach, aren't I?" shrugged Bradley, trying to focus on looking at them, and not on Benjamin's body that was still atop the wooden pier.

"What about your firearm? You could've used that?"

"I didn't bring it."

"What?"

"I thought this was only a search, and sweep, and I had to get here quickly too." lied Bradley. He had handled both his pistols to Benjamin that morning when the boy had insisted it was crucial to an ongoing operation.

"Why do I listen so much to that kid" wondered Bradley. Agent Jacobs whistled. "You must be a pretty capable man, Captain Bradley."

"What? It's not like they have tough personalities of their own. These are just the run-of-the-mill scumbags" scoffed Bradley.
