Society of Heroes with Indeterminate Talent by Sebastian H. Alive Read Free Book Online

the chain necklace tattoo around his neck and the missing front tooth is called the Vanisher.  Together they make up a crime-fighting duo called….the Ex-Men."
    "The Ex-Men?" spat Max chuckling and glancing around to his accomplices.  "What are you, like superheroes?"
    "Yes."
    Max laughed out loud and was followed by his men as GPS and the Vanisher looked at each other with a hurt expression on their faces.
    "I've seen and done some crazy stuff in my time," said Max wiping his eyes.  "But this…well this just tops it all."
    "I told you the whole Ex-Men name was never going to work," whispered Agent One leaning across the counter.  "People will just say it’s a blatant rip-off."
    "I still disagree," said GPS.  "We added the E at the beginning and we like it because we're ex, as in ex-cons."
    Agent One sighed loudly and raised his hands.
    "I'm just saying guys, I'm just saying."
    "These are ex-cons?" asked Max.
    "Yes, and now they work for us using their superpowers for good.  GPS has a very special talent.  He has high sensitivity to GPS and GSM technology and can hone in on their signal.  For years he and the Vanisher have targeted security vehicles and they find the vehicles location, steal the goods and then vanish.  We caught them and now they are on day-release."
    "But…how did you find us?"
    "Well, we work with the police and received a tip-off that you were about to raid this jewelers.  What you probably didn’t think about was that young David over there was your transmitter?"
    Max spun around and glared at David who shrugged his shoulders.
    "Not me, boss."
    "Relax, he didn’t know he was giving your exact location away," said Agent One.  "Part of David's bail conditions is that he wears an electronic tag around his ankle, which is the same technology that GPS can track.  We pinpointed your radio frequency signal and GPS over there triangulated your position and co-ordinates and passed that onto the police, then we vanished away all the valuables in this store with the help of the Vanisher and voila, here we are."
    Bob groaned and pulled off his balaclava.
    "Say hi to the CCTV cameras, Bob," said Agent One cheerfully.
    "We're done for, boss." Bob mumbled.  "Alice is going to kill me."
    "The only question I have to ask is whether you are going to give up without a fight?"
    Max looked hopelessly around then dropped the handgun and baseball bat onto the ground before interlocking his hands on his head.
    "The best way." said Agent One, nodding his head in approval.
    One by one the robbers dropped their weapons and with shoulders slumped slowly walked to the entrance to the shop.
    "They're coming out," yelled Agent One.  "Don’t shoot."
    With one final glance over his head Max left the store and Agent One watched as him and his men were tackled to pavement floor and handcuffed.
    "I thought that went pretty well, didn’t you guys?"
    "Do we have to go back to jail?" grumbled GPS.
    "It's for the best." replied Agent One.  "But S.H.I.T commends your valor and conduct today, and we'll downgrade a couple of your major offenses to minor.  How's that?"
    "That sounds good to me." admitted the Vanisher looking happy.
    Suddenly the door to the shop opened and the owner of the jewelers walked briskly in wringing his hands nervously.
    "Gentlemen, I must thank you for what you have done today.  It was truly a remarkable act of heroism and one that I am eternally grateful for.”
    "We're just doing our duty sir, and doing what's right for the city of London." said Agent One tipping his head.  "Right, okay, so I've got some paperwork to catch up on so we'll be off then."
    The jewelry shop owner coughed lightly into his hand clearing his throat.
    "There's just the small matter of returning all my jewelry now." he said.
    "Of course," answered Agent One looking up at the Vanisher.  "Please, return all this stores valuables and we'll be on our way."
    The Vanisher glanced at GPS then back to Agent One and shifted
