"Indeed, though it may be ill-gotten gains. Cease admiring the car and remain focused"
Jack and James were waiting for Alex to come out of the car. They both had guns in their hands.
The port was very busy. Workers loading and unloading crates and boxes, using cranes to do so. Ship pilots getting ready for sail, passengers rushing by, it was normal that among this chaos, Jack and James were unnoticed.
Alex came out of his car, on his right hand was a matt black suitcase. As soon as he did so, many men started coming towards the car. "Freaking Bloodhounders!" whispered Jack.
Alex, trying hard to get out of the crowd, met Jack's eye. From then onwards, everything became messed up.
"YOU!"
"Sir Alex- I mean-"
Seeing Alex pointing his revolver, James took out his gun and shot at him, but missed completely. Alex turned the muzzle towards James and just before he shot Jack jumped over him, making him miss by an inch. Meanwhile, one man punched James hard in the face who fell over a metal rod and injured his head.
A boy in his mid-twenties was seeing this from afar. He made a phone call and started going towards the fighting ground.
More than twenty Bloodhounders surrounded them when multiple snipers (not of the Bloodhound gang) roared at once. Many men laid down and got shot, while Jack saw some men in different attires firing and running from one container to another. Soon, everyone lost focus on the two and there started a fight between the two groups, one of the Bloodhounders and one of the mysterious men in black attires. In the pandemonium, Alex jumped back in his car, made an extremely careful U-turn and tried to escape from the ground. But as soon as he left the port, a fleet of police constables surrounded him, with their rifles up.
In the meanwhile, the sandalwood dealer had run into his ship and escaped.
Bloodhounders were being shot left and right when the mid-twenty boy reached Jack and James.
"Who are you?"
"No time to talk, I am picking up James, follow me."
Police marched into the port, capturing Bloodhounders that survived, while the other group left without any notice. The commissioner of police, Oscar Owen, approached the mid-twenty boy.
"I have captured Alex. You may come and talk to him when you want."
"Thank you, Owen. I am very grateful."
Owen then turned to Jack and injured James.
"Hello, I am Oscar Owen, detective chief superintendent of police . Your friend needs to be in care. Though a hospital is not needed, his head should be bandaged. X, can you take him?"
