Chapter 217 - Cover up (1/2)
”Jackson!” yelled someone from behind. ”Stop beating them,” said a short old man with a small white goatee and white hair that covered his forehead.
”What are you doing here, Amos?” asked Jackson irritably as he recognized the voice. ”I haven't even arrested nor was there any report. How come you were sent here? Are these by any way related to the military?”
Amos was about 4 feet tall and had a wrinkly face with walking stick in one hand and a briefcase in the other. He was a defence lawyer and he was often employed by the enforcers and the military. His involvement usually implied that someone high up in the chain of command wanted someone to be released as soon as possible. Some of the enforcers loved him while some hated him. \
Jackson headed the enforcers of the city and had a chance to experience some pretty controversial situations during his life as an enforcer. Sometimes, he wanted to kiss the guy as he saved some of his officers from political cases and tough situations, but today, he wanted answers and the minute he heard his voice, he understood he wasn't going to get any.
”Stopping you from doing something stupid,” said Amos shaking his head.
”One of them is clearly an imposter. I am just trying to help,” whispered Jackson after coming close to Amos. ”Don't these kind of people usually prefer to get information fast. I am sure they will appreciate it.”
Though Jackson hated it when he was kept in the dark by his superiors, he wasn't foolish. This case was clearly important to someone high up in the chain of command and it was always good for them to have a good impression of him. A couple of favours of this sort put him in their radar and he would possibly get access to them. So, he wanted to try and convince Amos.
”Usually, that might not be a bad idea. If it was director general or the chief commissioner who wanted this done, but it comes from above them. The alliance is involved. Even, I don't know anything but to let these gentlemen be bound taken to enforcers. I will get my instructions after that,” said Amos.
”Seriously?” asked Jackson.
”Just do as I tell you, Jack. These people frighten our superiors and by the looks of things, they are quite angry at the things that happened and you don't want to offer yourself to vent their anger at,” said Amos hinting him to leave it.
”Fine. Can I talk to them at all? Should my men check the building or just let it be?” asked Jackson.
”Let it be. I am just told to check on their health,” said Amos as he went to the pair of them. ”Get someone to examine them and inform a surgeon that we may have to outfit someone with an artificial eye. Where is the girl?”
”What girl?” asked Jackson.
”His daughter, Parvati Banerjee,” said Amos. ”She was considered must apprehend and we expected her to be along with them. You didn't find her. Weren't you told to consider that all members of the Banerjee family in the building to be in possible and put them in your custody?”
”Give me a minute. She wasn't here. Let me find out if she was found in another floor,” said Jackson.
”You won't find her. She is long gone,” said Bhagvat.
”Best call my staff and inform them that she is in eminent danger and needs protection urgently. If required, inform them that I, Bharat Banerjee also want them to follow your orders,” said Bharat.
”Not a bad idea, but he probably won't say that,” said Jackson pointing at Bhagvat. ”And they probably won't believe it if you are in the video looking like that.”
”Anyway, leave it to me, Amos. If she hasn't left the building yet, she will be found,” said Jackson as he quickly gave a bunch of instructions to his men telling them to not let any personnel leave the building before, she was caught.
”Ya sure,” sneered Bhagvat. ”Like that would be of any use, now.”
”First knock him out,” said Jackson to one of his men.
”No, Jackson. Don't forget,” warned Amos.
”With an incapacitating shot,” added Jackson to the man who quickly shot Bhagvat into an unconscious state with an injection.
”You need a shot, too?” asked Jackson looking at Bharat.
”No. I don't, but I wouldn't say no to some medical care,” answered Bharat. Then, he turned to Amos.
”Also, if you don't mind, inform your superiors the following code phrase: Lack of agility, is the call to our death,” he said to Amos. ”Please, be quick about it. They will not reprimand you but thank you. This is for the ones who told the director general.”
”What do you think?” asked Jackson looking at Amos. He felt that there is a good chance it is safe to do so. The other guy who was knocked out clearly didn't want Parvati to get caught, so he was against them, but this guy is injured badly, and it looked like he was trying to help them.
”I will try,” said Amos looking at Bharat and nodded to Jackson. He went to a corner and sent an encrypted message to someone and after a minute, he received a reply.
”He is to be considered the original Bharat Banerjee. Provide any services that he wants,” said Amos. ”We will look for Parvati, Mr. Bharat. Do you suggest anything else?”
”Bind his limbs,” said Bharat pointing to his unconscious brother. ”Just try to find Parvati. I will also give you a few names of some personnel who were involved in this. Try to apprehend them,” said Bharat to Jackson and started to list out a few names of the people who sided with Parvati when he was imprisoned. Though, it had been two years and they probably had changed their identities and appearance from what was recorded, he hoped that the local enforcers would be able to track them a little bit before the other commanders send their forces.
