The Adventures of Cologne and the Devil of Berlin

Chapter 8 Kidnapping

In the Kidnapper's Car

Cologne who was previously in his own car has now moved into the car of the child kidnapper.

Berlin had apparently moved Cologne into the Kidnapper's car. The devil was actually annoyed because he saw Cologne taking too long to chase the kidnapper so he intended to help him as well as to get entertainment.

"Hah? Who are you?!" cried the Kidnapper who was surprised to find a foreign man getting into his car suddenly.

"You don't need to know that!" cried Cologne as he launched an attack on the Kidnapper. The young man quickly paralyzed the kidnapper and made him immediately unconscious. After immobilizing the kidnapper, Cologne immediately took over the steering wheel which he felt was strange.

Berlin, who saw the action from Cologne, was not too impressed.

"You really don't look cool," he complained.

"Damn you don't have to say that!" growled Cologne while pointing his middle finger in the air.

The young man still didn't realize that the brakes of the car he was driving had failed.

"Brother watch in front of you!" shouted the little boy who was the victim of the Kidnapper.

Cologne was surprised to find that the little boy didn't seem to have fainted. And plus he screamed and tried to warn himself.

GREK GREK

Time and time again Cologne tried to forcefully pull the malfunctioning brake.

"Unlucky!" he hissed almost in despair.

"Don't intend to ask me for help again?" Berlin whispered in Cologne's ear.

"Not at all. It's more than enough for you to help me!" Cologne replied calmly but sounded very firm.

"You could die, I was trying to warn you," Berlin rebuked.

"And I don't need your help!" replied Cologne brimming with confidence. Despite his failed attempts to stop the car the young man still didn't want to give up. This was evidenced by him choosing to crash the uncontrollable car into a tree. The extreme way he did was potentially dangerous to himself and other passengers.

"Huft ... ah .... " The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he found himself and the little boy he was trying to save still in good condition.

The car he was driving had now been destroyed in the front due to hitting a large tree in front. After trying to swerve and steer the car deliberately towards a tree, Cologne managed to stop the car forcibly.

"Sob… sob… sob… I thought… I… wouldn't… ever… ever… meet… Mama… again… sob…. The little boy cried out in fear. Of course he must have thought he was going to experience something unpleasant at all. The boy could have thought that a few minutes earlier he would be admitted to the hospital unconscious.

"Ah. Don't worry you're safe now. Soon you will be able to meet your mother," said Cologne as he hugged the little boy tightly. He tried to calm the boy down. Of course an incident like this must have made him feel shocked.

"Wow, how could you do such a dangerous thing earlier. Hm, although I feel a little disappointed that your soul was not picked up by the angel of death. Even though I can't wait to see you go to hell," Berlin said casually. The demon seemed relaxed and didn't really care about the terrible events that had just happened to Cologne.

"Shut up!" snarled Cologne in frustration. Oh that young man is really unfortunate all day he has been dealing with all sorts of annoying things caused by the demon named Berlin.

The little boy who saw Cologne seemed to be talking to himself immediately rebuked the young man doubtfully, "Why are you talking to yourself?" asked the boy innocently.

Cologne who realized his behavior began to be suspected by small children immediately pretended not to know it. "Ah no hm, Big Brother is just trying to talk to Big Brother himself. Don't worry, you don't have to think about it too much," he said trying to cover it up.

The boy nodded and still wrapped his arms around Cologne.

Cologne sighed he glanced at Berlin and found the demon trying to irritate him again. And on the verge of being provoked, Cologne again remembered his cellphone and he had to immediately contact Eden and several other police colleagues to come to his place. After all, he was well aware that the kidnapper was still in the same car as him even though he was unconscious.

"You are okay?" asked Eden to confirm the junior's condition.

"No," Cologne replied curtly.

After calling Eden and some of his fellow police officers, Cologne got reinforcements coming very, very quickly. Thank God the police caught the kidnapper and secured the victim.

"Want to go home with me?" bargain Eden felt bad for his junior. He should have been angry at the disrespectful behavior Cologne had given him earlier. But considering that Cologne has managed to complete his task properly, the forgiving man prefers to forget his previous frustration.

"No need, I can go home alone," he refused. The young man secretly felt uncomfortable if he was close to his senior for too long. Plus, his previous impudent actions made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Cologne hurriedly tried to avoid Eden and just left. And meanwhile Eden, who was still standing where he was, was surprised by the strange attitude shown by his junior.

"Is this really a sign that I have to do some cleaning in the office?" Eden muttered to himself. The man thought that his office has recently become a gathering place for various spirits wandering around, making the people who work there become 'sticky'.

Bus stop

After realizing the money is not enough to pay for the taxi. Inevitably Cologne was forced to use the bus to go home.

"If you refuse Eden's offer. Why are you still refusing my offer? You're just bothering yourself stupid. I can immediately move you to the house," grumbled Berlin, who was now standing right beside Cologne's body.

"Shut up. I told you I don't want to accept help from a filthy creature like you!" snapped Cologne.

"You stupid!" Berlin deliberately pushed Cologne's body and made the young man fall sideways on the shoulder of a burly man with many tattoos on his arm.

Cologne glared at Berlin but the demon just disappeared and did not take any responsibility for his actions.

***

Two days later

After solving the kidnapping case, Cologne returns to his normal life. Work until late afternoon then go home if not overtime.

"Want to go home right away?" asked Berlin, who had been following him all day. The demon seemed to be getting closer trying to cling to poor Cologne.

"Yes. Please take me to the afterlife now," cologne Cologne who was tired from working all day.

Berlin in the form of a shadow directly hit Cologne hard on the head. "You don't have to talk like that, you'll have tears in your eyes if that incident actually happened to you."

Cologne huffed in annoyance and let out a shaky breath.

"I just wish you could keep your mouth shut a little bit."

Berlin wiggled his finger what looked like a plain black shadow.

"Not. You're so much fun to tease. After all, the devil's job is to disturb humans. So I have to do my job well," he said cheerfully.

Cologne rolled his eyes lazily. "It's up to you," he replied nonchalantly.

***

In front of the door of the house

Cologne fell silent when he found a middle-aged woman standing right in front of his door. He didn't recognize the woman until finally she turned around and revealed her face.

"Ah, it's you, isn't it?" asked Cologne making sure the woman was Mrs Wish who was the mother of a child abductee whose case he had recently worked on.

Mrs Wish smiled. Greet the young man briefly.
