ME AND YOU

Chapter 2

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">Lex walked to the bar and poured the wine into two glasses and took one to his dad. He may be old but won't accept to be called old that's why at seventy-five he is still in business and his mind operates like he is in his thirties.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "What is this I'm hearing?" Kenneth asked taking the glass from him.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "The shipment was frozen by the police,"</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Under your watch?" He yelled.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Dad, everything was under control, I'm investigating what happened," he answered trying to sound as convincing as possible. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Do you know, they found the warehouse where you hid that man? I told you to get rid of him once he is done executing the job but you won't listen," </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "You also said we should put friends close and enemies closer, we will still need him. Can you imagine he was able to assassinate the DCI in his home without nobody finding out? He is smart and we need people like them in our business," Lex sipped from his drink.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Smart and yet it was a woman that unveiled him?" Kenneth questioned.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">He couldn't understand why his son wanted to do things his way and end up messing up. He had trained him well but each time he failed. What hurt him most was that a woman outsmarted him.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">In their world, women are weaklings and not the other way round. His dad's phone rang interrupting their talk. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">Kenneth listened to the person at the other end and his expression changed. He started trembling and threw the phone across the room, the only thing he does when extremely furious. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "What happened?" Lex asked.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "All this nonsense, is because of you, just pray everything goes on well," he warned and walked out on him. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">Zadock cursed as he paced up and down in his office. He took the landline in the office and made a call. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Is Amelia in her office?" He asked over the phone.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Ok, tell her to come to my office when she arrives," he instructed then hanged up.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">Juliet took her phone and dialed Amelia's number. She went to Vincent's office immediately she saw his car outside. She wanted to brief Amelia before she goes to meet with the boss but unfortunately, she wasn't there.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Vincent is already here, where are you?" Juliet asked.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I drove the lady and her daughter to my house, that's the only safe place I can think of right now, and don't tell anyone," she replied.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "You know, I can't tell anyone. I have the latest gist for you," Juliet said over the phone.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I'll be at the office in ten minutes, then you can tell me," Amelia suggested. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Make it quick, you'll meet me in Vincent's office. Come there before meeting the boss, seems like things didn't go as planned," </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Ok, I'm already here," she said and hung up. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">Amelia parked her car and headed to Vincent's office.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "The boss asked for your presence," Josek informed her immediately she saw her.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Thank you for letting me know," she appreciated and continued with her journey. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "What was with the urgency?" Amelia asked them as she stepped inside Vincent's office.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "It all went badly," Juliet started.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "What went badly?" </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "They went to the warehouse but I think they knew beforehand that the police would be going so even though he was still there, he was heavily guarded. There was a fight and we lost two of our colleagues and three are hospitalized. Most of his men were killed and unfortunately, he escaped with a gunshot. They tried running after the car he left with but all to no avail," Vincent reported to her.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Damn it!"Amelia cursed.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "What hurts me are the lives lost, we had everything under control but he insisted we leave everything to him then boom, he found out we knew where he was," Juliet complained.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Back to square one, we all know it is risky to have him out there right now that he can revenge," Vincent chipped in.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Do you think what I'm thinking that we have a snitch among us?" Amelia asked.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I have been having the same thoughts as well," Vincent answered.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Then that explains how immediately Zadok has the whole report then the man knows, how come? </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I'll see what he got to say then we can start from there," Amelia suggested.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "How dare you?" Zadok yelled immediately she entered the office.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">She pulled a seat and sat down not uttering a word, staring at him. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Are you dumb?" He yelled again.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "You expect me to answer an irrational question?" </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I came here to set some things straight, I came here to work and were working fine but ever since your promotion, you've been getting on my nerves. I'm your assistant but you do things your way then you insult me. What did I do this time around?" She asked calmly. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Do you know I can make you get fired,"</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "You shouldn't stress yourself, I'll quit by myself. What do you want from me? Sometimes I think you are the snitch in this office," </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Excuse me," </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "You want to turn tables yet you are the snitch among us, can you explain how you found all that information within a short period?" He added.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "And can you explain why you wanted to go your way and get the credit?" She asked back. </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Or let's say you wanted a promotion and you want to get credit for other people's work? I Am fed go and I can look for a job somewhere else. I'll even apply for a transfer,"</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "You know I can recommend you for a promotion once I'm appointed as the DCI but the ball is in your pocket,"</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I'll get it by gracing your bed? Who put you here in the first place? What makes you think they'll appoint a DCI from our unit?" </div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "Your stubbornness will cost you dearly, " he warned.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854"> "I better sleep with a mad man than you," she hissed and walked out of the office.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">Zadok banged the table frustrated. He needed some fresh air, he picked his car keys and walked out of the office, he wasn't on duty that evening and office hours were almost over.</div>

<div id="yiv5851478558yMail_cursorElementTracker_1637841063854">He arrived at his house and was met with another shocking news. He dropped on the couch calmly and for the first time in years, he cried. </div>
