A text message was sent to his cell phone
warning him to go to an address
who had sent it nobody knew the number
this was for special business
as an undercover detective had to be wary
this assignment it was scary!
Taking precautions headed to the location
even though it could be a trap
had an informant who had not contacted
for a few months it was his style
the block of flats on a rough estate loomed
amongst shabby houses was marooned!
Parked amongst vandalised cars and trash
smelt that stench of cultivated weed
as he headed for the entrance to slum block
knew it was a gang base by the tags
another message made him miss a beat
started to sweat feeling the heat!
It read third floor num thirteen take stairs
security door was not locked
certain nobody was following sprinted
up those four flights of stairs
entered the small lobby spotting a man
this was where the nightmare began!
Saw the flash of a gun firing at his head
ducked it missed by a hairs width
charged head butting the thug his fist
completing his incapacitation
inside the flat other voices could be heard
the action soon became blurred!
Instinct took over as it seemed like an army
rushed out had to use his training
and wits to overcome overwhelming odds
glad he had his trusty police baton
it did the damage until he could grab a gun
entering hoped the fighting was done!
Saw it was his criminal informant sitting
bruised and battered in the kitchen
still with a cell phone clasped in his hand
before he could utter a word
they were heading for the ground floor
as more burst through a glass door!
Quickly reversed their exit to the balcony
found themselves looking down
four floors also s burnt out van well placed
no time to think both jumped
to a hail of automatic fire as they collided
on metal somehow were safely guided!
Managed to get in his car his companion hit
just getting away but soon pursued
speeding through unfamiliar back streets
eventually able to contact back up
the assailants were beginning to draw near
down a familiar road was able to steer!
For the moment they had shaken pursuers
and drove onto headquarters
on his radio heard there was a gun battle
glad they had got clear of trouble
inside was able to know what had gone on
it was a sting that had gone wrong!
The informant had bypassed him this time
nearly paying with both their lives
but through the carnage a big drug haul
confiscated and gang caught
the adrenaline rush had still not subsided
but it had been an adventure decided!
