Chapter 216 - Jackson Broadback (2/2)
”Ok. Let us talk about your friends. Where are they?” asked Bharat. ”They contacted you since this happened. They have given you a way to contact them?”
Taking his brother's silent breathing for agreement, Bharat continued, ”No. They didn't. They only call you. You don't know their identity. You are just an investment. Do you even know if they have a plan to extract you or if they even plan to?”
Bhagvat had been thinking of these things himself for a long time. Despite his requests, he never received a way to contact them quickly. All he could do was to send a signal, to which they take a day or two respond. He had always felt a bit that he was just being used by them, but the person who responded always insisted that it was a test and he could only join them when he passed it and proved worthy and capable.
Even after he managed to replace his brother for the past two years, this did not change. He got their support and some of his most capable men and information that allowed him to replace his brother were provided by them. So, he didn't take it seriously that they get him to perform a few favours, but their behaviour didn't change even after he replaced his brother as a commander.
”What? Cat got your tongue?” mocked Bharat. As his brother was caught in his thoughts, Bharat butted his head at Bhagvat hitting him on his nose followed by a jump and knocking him to the ground.
”After this, don't expect me to shelter you. You are no longer a part of the family. I promised father to not kill you and keep you safe, but I bet he would have told otherwise, if he knew the people whom you have befriended,” said Bharat. Though Bhagvat still had a gun, Bharat wasn't afraid. He knew that his brother wouldn't use it. Moreover, he could already hear the shouts of the enforcers coming up covering the various exits of the floor.
”Let me give a last piece of advice. Consider, it a parting gift due to fraternal bond that once was between us. If you ever end up meeting those guys again, make sure that they treat you as one of them rather than their pawn. I hope that today's events have at least put that into perspective,” said Bharat as enforcers busted into the room waving their arms and shouting at the pair of them to sit down.
Both of them complied while glaring at each other. Bharat had his hands already tied behind his back while Bhagvat was forced to put his hands on his head and was tied up by the enforcers. They were both put up against the wall as they reported about the similar looking people to their superiors.
A couple of minutes later, the one in charge of the raid came in. It was a veteran enforcer of the planet. Jackson Broadback was from a third-generation law enforcer family and he himself had been an enforcer for close to 30 years. He was commissioner of the enforcer force of the entire city and had been one of the most well-respected enforcers of the planet.
He was about 7 feet tall with a thick waist, big hands and a round face sporting a handlebar moustache. He wore the blue uniform of a commissioner with his long coat covering his body up to his knees. He had an angry look on his face as inspected the place. It was clear to him that there had been a minor fight between the two captives.
He came to Bharat first and asked, ”You seriously tried to fight him when you knew we were coming up to rescue you. Couldn't you wait for a few more moments?”
”And you,” he turned towards Bhagvat. ”My men already told me that you were simply waving the gun at him and put it down as soon as you saw them. Why did you even have to bring out a gun, if you had no intention to use it?”
”You know each other?” he asked the pair of them, but the just stared at him in response without saying anything.
”Ok. Mr. one-eyed zombie over there. Stop staring,” he added. ”I have got the most bizarre pair of calls today one after the other. I was quite surprised to find that chief commander of the planet and director general of the enforcers asking me to raid this place as a valuable asset who is supposed to look like you is in danger and to take into custody any person who would look like you.”
”I hate such instances where I am just ordered to act. Usually these are kept in dark. Imagine my surprise that by the time, we started the press already had a video informing that Bharat Banerjee, whoever he among the pair of you had sent me of all people, a secret request to help,” he continued.
”Just arrest me and put me in jail as you were ordered to, blue coat,” said Bhagvat who wasn't in a mood to talk with the commissioner. All he saw was a boot coming up to kick him on his chin as he sent sprawling on the floor.
”I don't care who has your back, but you talk back to me or my men, I will kill you and mark you up as a casualty. You understand?” asked Jackson pulling up Bhagvat by his collar.
