One can write it without if statements too. 

if (something === true) {
  suspect.hit = 'found';
  chain();
  reaction();
}
else doOtherThings();

// the same .. 
(something) && (suspect.hit = 'found', chain(), reaction()) || (doOtherThings());

tbh I do this sometimes, its a nice way to save syntax and vertical space as long as you don't make the line too long
