I can't help but sigh at the relief despite the problem that has arisen. After this, I still have to face the consequences of my actions that the higher-ups.
And dealing with them is more terrible than facing anyone's wrath.
At least, I had carried out the plan smoothly again this time. This relieves me.
Smirking at the idea, I can imagine how the elders’ faces will turn ghastly again.
With this all in mind, I sped off the road to the location to gather a few details and evidence that someone from inside was working on us. That was an inside job.
It was not new to us that some spies from agencies had penetrated us. These all made it easier for me to escape.
Setting up is a piece of cake for me.
Humming jovially, I continued to plot everything that I needed so that it'd look convincing and easy for me.
Having a scapegoat was part of this industry.
My phone rang once again.
Glancing at the screen, my heart fluttered with joy, so I quickly took to answer the call.
“So?” I started.
“Well, everything is as expected. I have it all arranged now, you may come and take a look.” He said while laughing and seemed to be very proud of his accomplishment for the second time around.
I was so pleased too at what he said, so I joined his triumphant waves of laughter. After all, I cannot accomplish all this without this man’s participation.
“Then, this calls for a celebration,” he continued to giggle.
“Of course, bud, I owe you a lot,” I responded, chuckling.
“We’re benefiting each other. No one owes whom.” He humbled, but I could still see his grinning face.
How boyish? I thought and chuckled.
How can a formidable man like him act like a little boy sometimes?
“Does anyone know this?” I curiously asked.
Being cautious was a normal thing for me. There should be no room for mistakes.
“Our head,” he simply responded.
“What?!” I retorted slightly, raising my voice to him.
“Relax, he’s our head. He knew it was you all along and was helping me plot all this, so no worries, he may not have asked you directly, but he understands you. He never questions your integrity.” He explained immediately.
A sigh of relief once again escaped from me. I should not be exposed or else, it’ll be my end.
“Okay, thank you, dude. You're a saver.”
“Anytime Dauis, whenever you need me.”
Without responding, I ended the call.
Arriving at the place, I wandered around cautiously. I must not alert anyone around.
The place was all burnt down, leaving no traces of our conspiracy and of last night’s encounter.
Caution tape was laid around the area, prohibiting anyone inside the vicinity.
I was carefully crawling in when a man in uniform who was guarding the area rushed towards me.
“Stay still” he shouted as he stuck his gun, aiming right at me.
“Turn around and raise your hand up high,” he continued.
Listening to his instructions, I slowly stood up and raised my hand up silently.
“Now, turn around”, which I did.
I must not provoke him before I could create more chaos.
“Why are you here? haven't you seen the line?”
“Let me show you something.”
“Go ahead”, he called back.
And so, I took my I.D slowly and showed it to him.
