Chapter 213 - Inquest (2/2)
”Don't inquests usually involve more violent means?” asked Janet.
”Sure, that is true but only in cases where the inquest is being done by your enemies. Right now, we are being collaborators and you know your enemy is someone else. I know your first priority is to escape. You value your life. To tell the truth, I don't understand how someone like you is in a death squad. You aren't suitable for it,” said Bruce.
”You are good, but don't act like you know me,” said Janet.
”I don't know you, but I know enough about you for you to do as I want,” said Bruce. ”Now, stop wasting my time.”
”Fine, I know a name, but he is supposed to be dead. He is someone so important that Parvati killed one of my team for overhearing it. Bhagvat,” said Janet.
Bruce eyes grew large almost popping out when he heard it. ”He kept quite a few secrets, didn't he?” he mumbled to himself.
”Barbara arrange for extraction of her family. I need to call for a meeting,” said Bruce leaving a confused Barbara with Janet.
”I guess it was useful to him,” mumbled Barbara as she set to work. ”Though it is enough for him. I have more plans for you.”
”Aren't you supposed to listen to him?” asked Janet.
”He wouldn't mind. I just need to know more, but not about Parvati and her secrets. Let him be involved with the secrets. I want to know about the things you are expected to know. How you got your resources and any other people involved in the attempted murder of my father,” said Barbara. ”Also, any forces she had previously deployed personally and not involved with the Banerjee's telecommunication services business, the organization structure of her forces.”
”Oh! Sure. At least you are making more sense than your father. It was like he hardly cared about the organization,” remarked Janet. ”You sure that he hasn't gone senile. He is known to veteran of the war a few decades ago. People involved in the wars before the alliance got control tend to be a bit off.”
Janet expected that Barbara would at least consider her words, but the only response her words garnered from Barbara was a stare that made her extremely uncomfortable. ”Talk such things about my father again, I will break your jaw,” replied Barbara. ”He has concerns about things we are not aware of. Stick to answering the questions you are asked. Don't mistake your situation just because he was a bit friendly. You are still a captive and you will be even during the mission. Any of the men her you talk smack about my father, they would beat you up. Don't cause unnecessary trouble by talking crap.”
Barbara led her to another room where she and a bunch of other men were gearing up for a fight. Janet was asked a few questions and she replied as much as she knew while they got ready. After that Barbara left Janet with a crew after giving them instruction on how to handle her.
On the way back, she contacted her father through her wrist device. ”What happened? What are you doing?” she asked as Bruce's face appeared on the screen.
”ShadowCard. There is a chance it has been infiltrated. Prepare for a silent war. Get to a safe place. Quit all communications with D.i.c.k. He is with Balthazar going after the ones responsible for the attack of that moon. The two might be involved,” said Bruce.
”You are kidding?” asked Barbara. ”Don't we need to inform D.i.c.k and get him to safety, if the Shadow Card is infiltrated?”
”No. It is just a doubt. Taking precautions. If it is really so, we don't want to let them know we are onto them.”
”But that is true only if Parvati doesn't know that the girl didn't know that name, Bhagvat. If she is aware, they might have already taken action against D.i.c.k,” said Barbara concerned for her husband.
”He can handle himself and more than that. Stop worrying about him. I have given him instructions already and he is with the Blyths, armed and on a covert assignment. No information on the Shadow Card accounts or anything. Only case we need to worry is if someone is still working for them within the Blyth family. He is already on lookout for that,” said Bruce. ”Now, get to a safe place and don't get out unless I or D.i.c.k contact you.”
