America: Starting with Daily Intelligence
Chapter 52 - 52 52 Saving Mig

52: Chapter 52: Saving Mig 52: Chapter 52: Saving Mig Everyone slept for about the same amount of time yesterday, getting ample rest.

Added to that, Dominic had gotten used to being woken up by people these past few days, so he naturally woke up alert.

“Is something up, Allen?

There’s no rush to collect cans, right?” Dominic rubbed his eyes.

“Dominic, it’s already dawn.

Time to wake up.

How can you achieve great things with me if you’re this lazy?

Sieg got up even earlier than me.

When I went to call him, he was already gone,” Allen Zhang said seriously, pulling out his phone and playing a video.

“Look at this!”

“Isn’t this just a typical street brawl, there’s plenty of others’ videos like this on the internet.” Dominic took one glance at the video and lost interest.

It’s quite common to see a few Black people catching a white or Asian person and beating them to death on the streets.

“I’m very familiar with this officer; Sieg knows him too,” Allen Zhang stated.

Hearing Allen Zhang say this, Dominic was also quite surprised, “Is he one of the officers who shot the Zero-Dollar Purchase Black man?

No wonder he looks a bit familiar; I have seen this short video on TikTok before, it has over two hundred thousand views in Los Angeles.”

“Yes, these Black individuals are suspected of retaliating and severely injuring the officer.

I happen to have video evidence of the incident.

Moreover, the officer is a diligent and excellent one.

With the situation getting blown up, he really needs help right now.

You understand what I mean, right?

This is an opportunity for us.”

Dominic quickly understood his meaning.

If they could help Officer Mig escape life-threatening danger and provide substantial evidence to the police, the latter would definitely be grateful to them.

They might even receive thanks and respect from the officers at the Southern Branch.

At the very least, they wouldn’t have to worry about being harassed by officers on the streets afterward.

Opportunities like this are fleeting and won’t come again.

Dominic quickly got dressed and got out of bed.

The two waited at the original spot under the bridge for a while, soon seeing a figure wearing a camouflage hat and drenched in sweat slowly jogging towards them from a distance.

Seeing the two, he appeared a little surprised, “You guys are up this early?

What’s the gathering here for?”

Sieg was sweating profusely, and it was evident that he didn’t have as much energy as before; he seemed quite drained.

“A major incident happened last night in the early hours, Sieg, you remember Officer Mig, right?” Allen Zhang kept it brief.

“Mig?” Sieg seemed a bit confused, but then quickly came to a realization with Dominic’s reminder, recalling the officer, “You mean the white police officer who gave me 20 dollars?

Of course, I remember him.

What major incident?

Is it related to him?”

“See for yourself.” Allen Zhang played the video on his phone.

“Where did this video come from?” Sieg asked after watching it, immediately recognizing that the person getting beaten in the video was indeed Officer Mig, his expression turning serious.

He hadn’t expected these Black individuals to be so bold as to attack and seek revenge on an off-duty white officer.

Sieg felt somewhat favorably towards Officer Mig; after all, the officer was maintaining order and doing his job.

Moreover, it wasn’t only Mig involved in the shooting.

This was obviously a premeditated attack!

If it’s Mig this time, could it be another officer next time?

“I downloaded it from a social media forum.

The person had posted it only for a few minutes before deleting it.

I just happened to see it while browsing videos.

Currently, there hasn’t been any major uproar online regarding this,” Allen Zhang gave a reasonable explanation for himself.

The source of the video was indeed verifiable, and it being completely deleted was also true.

It’s unknown whether there was actually such a cowardly individual involved, or if it was all part of a comprehensive and considerate service by Daily Intelligence.

Allen Zhang leaned toward both possibilities being true.

“We must hurry and rescue Mig.

Otherwise, if it continues like this, his life will undoubtedly be in danger.” As a soldier, Sieg could not just stand by and watch the victim suffer, especially since the victim was an outstanding police officer.

“We are planning to do exactly that, but we also cannot fully trust the content of the video.

We at least need to confirm that Officer Mig is still under the bridge.

What if he has regained consciousness and already called the authorities for help?

Then our efforts would be in vain,” Dominic suggested.

“What are we waiting for then?” Sieg was ready to rush on foot towards the destination at Kajin Bridge.

However, Allen Zhang immediately stopped his reckless act, pulling out his own bicycle from under the bridge, “How could walking possibly be faster than cycling?”

“Dominic, go borrow Simone’s bicycle and skateboard.

Each of us having one will make traveling there faster!”

“Leave it to me.” Dominic understood the urgency of the situation, running to find Simone and gently awaken her slumbering mind, allowing her to also experience the agony of being forcefully powered up.

Under Simone’s furious glare, Dominic didn’t dare provoke her.

He could only honestly explain the situation and successfully borrowed a bicycle from her.

The trio immediately set off toward the destination at Kajin Bridge.

However, Allen felt that Officer Mig was tough enough to have endured several hours in the sewer outlet, so a few more minutes likely wouldn’t make a difference.

With light traffic and few pedestrians early in the morning, cycling there was virtually unobstructed.

The trio arrived at Kajin Bridge and chose to ride their bicycles directly down the slope from the edge.

Dominic was a bit unlucky, almost getting thrown off by the skateboard.

They found the No.

4 drainage outlet.

Allen also noticed that someone had manually tied a metal sheet over the wire mesh.

He waved to the others to follow suit, jumping around on the spot to loosen up his body.

He then took a step forward and delivered a sudden side kick, causing a loud clang.

The entire metal sheet was dented, and the screws holding it to the mesh flew out due to the massive force.

As debris scattered, the blocked drainage outlet was revealed once more.

Allen could faintly see someone inside lying motionless – it was the unconscious Mig.

Turning back to the others, he gestured and confirmed, “No need to worry, he is indeed still here!”

If it weren’t for daily intelligence updates, maybe nobody would have noticed if Officer Mig had started to decay inside.

After all, his personal information showed he lived alone and was on administrative leave.

Even if he didn’t respond for a couple of days, his colleagues might not immediately suspect foul play.

The intensity of the scene stunned the two behind him.

How strong must that explosive power be?

“I feel like that sidestep kick could directly smash me,” Dominic honestly replied.

Sieg glanced at his slender build and comforted him, “Don’t worry, it’s not just you.

Without protective gear, even I couldn’t withstand that kick.

Ordinary people simply can’t handle it.”

The arm can’t twist the thigh.

A side kick is historically one of the most powerful unarmed strikes humans can perform.

The only downside is it’s not easy to hit an opponent, similar to Brazilian fight dancing – it’s useful against a fixed punching bag, astonishingly effective in confined spaces, but difficult to apply on the streets where opponents can run.

“Dominic, quickly dial 911 and report this to the local police.

Sieg, you must have received training in the military for dealing with casualties, including how to stop bleeding and emergency medical procedures, right?

You can start by pulling Mig out to check his condition.”
