Chapter 27
As the two police officers separated to check on the fallen students their attention divided Adam saw his chance.
It was a small window of opportunity a moment of distraction in the chaotic scene he had created.
He dropped from the tree branch above a silent shadow descending from the darkness.
He landed directly behind the first officer—the same one whose Investigation skill he had acquired in the previous loop.
He brought the heavy iron rod down in a swift brutal strike against the back of the officer’s head.
The man collapsed without a sound. His body hit the dirt with a dull thud.
The second officer heard the movement.
He turned his flashlight beam cutting through the night. His eyes widened as he saw a strange figure standing over his fallen partner. A boy wearing a cap and a mask, holding a bloody iron rod.
The officer’s training took over. His hand immediately went for the pistol at his hip. There was no hesitation no warning. Just a lethal response to a lethal threat.
But before his fingers could even touch the holster Adam moved.
He lunged forward with blinding speed. He brought the iron rod down hard on the officer’s hand.
There was a sharp crack of bone.
