12:00AM, At Chief Steven's Residence... Mount Zion, New town
"What have you gotten yourself into buddy!"
"I have always warned you about taking control of situations like this"
" "Operate below the radar" has always been our agreement since you assume office"
"Damn!... uurrrghh!" ** screamed soberly, throwing a cup to the wall**
"Steven! i heard scream, you okay?"
"Steven!?" **Voice from distance asked**
"mm-hmm!, Yeah I'm fine"
"I'm absolutely fine, just a little tired" ** Chief Steven replied in a disguised composed voice**
"Damn! this is going to be hell" **he sorbs as he sat on the couch soliloquizing**
**12:25AM**
***Phone buzz***
***Wakes up with a bit of squeezed face***
"Why the hell is Steven calling this late"
"Steven? your watch stopped working? you know what time is it?"
"Hey buddy, could calling an old friend become a punishable offence?" **they both chuckled on the phone**
"Look buddy, it's late i know, but were you sleeping?" **Steven with a smile on his face**
"No, i wasn't... I was in the gym carrying 60kg with a single finger!"
"Cut the bullshit Steve!, why did you call me?"
"You were in Mount Zion Two days ago?, couldn't say hi to an old friend?"
"Look buddy we got a problem, i couldn't wait"
"I found something yesterday at work"
"I have always warned you about staying under the radar"
"A girl brought a video evidence of you meeting with some persons.... whom she suspected to be Miguel"
"What the hell were you doing with Miguel?"
"You know the implication of she seeing you with Miguel, Nicolai!"
"Miguel is a f*****g cartel leader!"
"I know! it was important and it was secretly late in the night"
"Secretly in a bar? you are not so smart buddy, you are a f*****g i***t!" **Steven said angrily, sweating profusely**
"Steven! you better watch your mouth buddy"
"I do what i do, what i have to do"
"Yes, and now you messed up!" **breaks in frantically***
"You just have to clean this mess"
"Oh, you mean our mess.."
"Steve just do your job, clean up the mess and we are good."
"What's going happen to the girl?"
"Nothing is happening with her, she did her job as a citizen"
"She shouldn't be punished for your mess."
"Leave her out of this."
"I'm sending the document to you in the morning at 10." **Steven said with an assuring voice**
"Send?"
"Oh! our little mess is going viral then"
"I'm sending one of my best guys, i trust him"
"I will have it in the middle of a document, he wouldn't touch the package"
"If this gets out, everyone's name is going down with it."
"Every single person!... Including yourself"
"You could be charged for being an accomplice, spending up to a year or two in jail.... think about it" ***Nicolai said with a chuckle***
"I'm doing this for our friendship, for old time sake, okay!?"
***Phone beep***
**Steven ends the call, with a big relief, he head back inside the house**
"Sigh!.. At least I could sleep now"
**2:45AM**
***Later the night at Nicolai Philips's house***
**Nicolai had a flashback to the bar, when he took glance of the waitress starring at the the man he was talking to at the dark corner of the bar**
"f*****g waitress"
"How did she recognise Miguel!?"
"She even had time to make video"
"I'm going to have to teach her a lesson, to mind her business next time"
"I have to take care of this as fast as possible before it gets out hand" **he murmur as he stepped out of his room in a pyjamas.**
**2:50AM at the basement of the house**
**Nicolai with his personal security**
It is a beautiful night view of the city from the top of Nicolai's house, with breeze from the ocean blowing his pyjamas, Sounds of vehicles can be heard from distance as the street lights dim from afar.
"The waitress at the bar last night, i need you to get her picture and address."
"On it sire!.. as soon as possible" **said sharply, as he move away from the basement.**
***Later that night about 2 hours later***
"She is Sarah Miller, 25"
"Stays with roommate, they both work at the bar"
"2nd floor, room 52 Castle court, North of Mount Zion." **handing picture and details to Nicolai**
"Excellent work!" **Giving him a handshake.**
"At your service sire!" **Responds sharply with a bow**
**Phone buzz**
**Distorted voice over the phone**
"What is the details?
"Address and picture"
"I want an increase since the last op."
*** Beep!, text popped up on the phone***
"Sarah Miller, 25"
"Stays with roommate, they both work at the bar"
"2nd floor, room 52 Castle court, North of Mount Zion."
"Sent!.... Find out what she knows"
"Find out if she has copies of the video she recorded at the bar"
"Secondly!... your Chief, he has a copy... i want to know if he copied it somewhere too"
"Drop him.. if you need to."
"Do it quite and clean, leave no traces"
"Will have your money sent now" *Nicolai said while holding a frown on his face*
**Distorted voice over the phone**
"Affirmative!"
***5:16AM**
***Loud music from distance outside***
** Steven Grunts!!!**
"f*****g spoilt kids"
"Getting too much in this neighborhood" **With a sleepy face, Steven walks to the basement...**
"What is that?" **He slowly looked outside through the window, saw three persons standing about 3 blocks away from him**
"One of them looks struggling" **he looked carefully with a clear eyes**
"That's two boy, the third person looks like a girl"
"She is been kidnapped." **Muttered to himself as he shakes his head in disappointment**
***5:33AM***

"Hey Serg!.. Can you meet me at home at 7?"
"Damn Chief isn't that a little too early!"
"Would be waiting!"
"Copy that! chief, i will be there 7:30"
"7 Wils!.... S.e.v.e.n!, keep to time kid."
***About One and half hour later, 6:48AM***

"Coming through... There you go, Come on in"
"You are going have to pay me for the inconvenience" *Wilson said smiling*
"You already got paid of all that when you got yourself a beautiful young lady for the night"
***Lady walks out of the room, kissed Steve***
"Hey baby, I'm set to go.. you did good... I hope to see you again"
"Yeah... See you around" **Steve replied sharply as she walk out of the house**
**Chuckled** "you are an old ass you need to stop messing around" **Hahaha they both laughed**
"So what's up?.. am i in trouble?, do we have an intel?"
"No buddy, i want you to do a job for me"
"A job!?.... sounds off the book." **Wilson asked with surprise**
"Yes, it is off the book... Sgt Johnson is going to deliver a document to the governors office by 10."
"I need you to be in the background, ensure he is safe"
"I have a rental car available for you, I need you to ensure he is safe at all cost."
"No one can know about this, you never did this Okay?"
"Copy that! Chief... Johnson is my partner i will do as expected."
"10! he keeps to time"
"You should too" **they both chuckled.**
**About a minute later**
**Knocks on the door**
"I will get the door" **Wilson stands up and walked down the stairs
"Please do!" **Steven respond**
**Aaarrgghh!!, loud scream from distance.**
"Wilson! who's at the door?" **he asked curiously**
**He could hear Wilson's voice"Steve! i have been shot", from distance**
**He took his pistol"Kimber 1911, 45 caliber" and rushed down the stairs to Wilson's direction, he rushed quickly to him tottering**
"Who is it?"
"He shot me!" **Wilson sobs**
"Let me see it, let me see it!"
"It's not deep buddy, it brushed through, you will make it"
"I can't see the face, he ran toward..." **Pointing toward the back lobby of the house**
"We have to leave, there could be more of them"
"I have to get the document upstairs"
"They are here for it"
"f*****g Nicolai!"
"Wait, did you say Nicolai!?.. Gov Philips?"
"What's this document about chief?"
"Nothing to worry about son!. just stay close behind me"
**At the walkway to Steven's room**
**A man from edge of the walkway, face covered, fired twice at the two of them...**
**Taking cover with a room's door, Steve aimed at the direction of the shooter**
**With the shooter on sight, he fired about 4 times at him**
**Screamed loud and TUUDDD!, Steven heard the shooter fell**
"I think i got him, go to inside the room, take the yellow file under the bed"
"I'm going to check out the back lobby"
"Do not open it!" **He told Wilson as he gently move towards the area the shooter was**
**"That's a lot of blood, he is definitely not going to survive that" he said to himself as he walk back towards the room.***
**He saw three men sneaking into the compound from the next compound, hurriedly, he ran back to Wilson**
"You have the document?"
"We have to go, there are more of them in the compound"
"Let's take this way into the farmyard"
"s**t, you are bleeding"
"Let's get out of here" **Steven said, as he lifted Wilson's arm and place it around his neck to help him up**
**They sneaked into a tunnel from the workshop, the tunnel led into the farmyard**
"We should be safe here while we go to a friend's house across town" **Steven said to Wilson as he helped him up from the tunnel**
**Phone buzz**
"Taken care of the girl... But"
"But what?" **Nicolai shouted at the man on the phone**
"He got away"
"He did what?.. you better hang around the house and make sure you take care of him" **Nicolai replied sharply with a whisper**
"There was someone with him"
"I will have two of these men stay behind to see if he comes back." **man says over the phone with a relaxed voice**
**Phone beeped as call ends**
