Gun Runner.

Chapter 8 Missing Link 2

The mobile was snatched abruptly by the Monk saying,

"Did you want to die?"

"Or did you want to get caught?"

"Are you that Naive or Simply Stupid?"

The sim of the mobile was taken out and thrown away by him cursing him for creating problems and acting besotted with that spy.

Actually the Monk was given the name of Rattle Snake.
True to his name, he was ruthless and never forgive and forget.
He was pro in gun running and was treated as second in command.
Due to his ruthlessness, even the security forces dreaded to encounter him.
He had been sent by their Commander in Chief or Boss gun as he was nicknamed in the gun runner's circle to coordinate with Johnson so that the operation was smooth and monetary return was good.
Johnson and Monk left the vehicle and boarded the motorboat to take them to their hideout deep inside the village .
The place was not accessible by road and only through motor boat.
It was a very remote village deep inside the jungle surrounded by water. Very few villagers settled there and their livelihood was farming and fishing.
In fact, many of them acted as their conduits to ferry the arms and also as informers to ward off strangers and forces.
The weather was humid and coconut tress etc flourished in these region.
Staple diet was rice and fishes and prawns.
Rice cultivation was done surrounding the water, which sufficed their consumption.
There were no education system and the villagers were practically illiterate
.
The gun runners group only supplied them clothes and other basic necessities like soap etc.
But the place was picturesque and worth seeing by tourists.
The whole place was controlled by Gun Runner's.
They fed them and that's why they were faithful to them.
The security forces hardly visited this place because it was remote and there was no proper approach. Anyone trying to come over to this place would end up going in circle and back to the sea.

Brenya stared at her mobile dazed.

" Was it a Dream?"

"Was she dreaming?"

She bit her finger hard.

" Ouch!"

She knew he called.
Then when she redialled the same number,

'Tut.....tut....tut....'

The number does not exist was replayed again and again.
She could not even talk to him at all.

Jerry immediately informed Brenya.

" I'm coming over to your office."

"Change of plan. "

Brenya sat in her office fiddling with her mobile absentmindedly.
Jerry entered her office and found her in a daze.

"Ms Black are you Ok?"
"If you are not well, let's discuss tomorrow. "
Brenya suddenly snapped out of her day dreaming and said to herself, ' Brenya control!'

" Yep Jerry!

"Come on!"

" We tracked the mobile when Johnson call you."

" They are still in Thailand. "

"Must be in the outskirts but they were very much here only."

"That's why the plan was changed. "

" If he called again, try to keep him engage in talking so that we could tracked him exactly where they are hiding."

"Jerry I called again. "

"It seemed his mobile was switched off. "

"Call this number Jerry."She handed her mobile to Jerry.

Jerry dialled the number. But...

"Tut...tut....Tut.....tut...."

This number does not exist.
He redialled the number twice.
But the reply was same.

"Buzz....Buzz....Buzz....."

Jerry's mobile was vibrating and when he checked the number, it was from the agents he hired to track the Monk and Johnson.

"Hello! Yeah ! Mr Xio tell me."

"Yes! "

"Are you sure? "

"Confirmed."

"Keep tracking. "

" Ms Brenya it is confirmed. Both Johnson and Monk never left Thailand."
"They were Gun Runners and the missing link was established. "
"Monk was not even monk. "
"Just think of It?"
"He was a criminal a murderer all along."

" Who would believe that a criminal could behave like Monk?"
"
He beguilled everyone?"

" Fu.....king..." "Shit"

" And Johnson?"
" He was no ordinary guy."
"Calculative and cunning "
" A Monster?"

"Ms Brenya your Bad. "

" You believed him?"

"You fell for that cheap guy?"

" No standard ?"

"Ms Smartass Brenya Black?"

"Shut up!" Jerry Liang"

"Shut your Bloody Mouth. "

"Should I blow up your wretched mouth?"

" Did feelings come preset and computerised?"

"How did I know he was criminal?"

"GOSH! "

"Did I have to put a Label on my forehead?"

"I am Criminal Investigator and my feelings were already programmed?"

"Jerry Liang ?"

"Get out!"
"Get out!

"Before I blow up your brain."

Then Brenya just sat down hard on the chair with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Jerry was flabbergasted. But he knew he had to allow Ms Black to calm down and think rationally.

He closed the door quietly and walked down the stairs from sixteenth floor without getting into the elevator to cool his mind.

Then he walked towards the mall to purchase some cigarettes.

Whenever he was extremely tensed the puffing of one or two cigarettes gave him time to cool his brain.
He did not expect Brenya to lose her mind and behaved unreasonably.

But???

It was a matter of the heart and Love doesn't come seeking only the most suitable.

He decided that he would go home and allow her to think tonight rationally.

Tomorrow......

Target ----"Viper alias Silent Killer alias Johnson"

"Monk alias Rattle Snake alias Changki Zhao...."

"You are Dead ....Dead..Dead."

After crying for almost half an hour Brenya went inside the washroom. Looking at the mirror she was shocked her mascara was smudged and her eyes were swollen.

Her cheeks were red and she had a splitting headache.

She washed her face and applying fresh lotion on her swollen face she came out from the washroom.

She was in no mood to work but she knew sooner or later she had to face the reality that she was fooled by the criminal.

She regretted yelling at Jerry. But he had no right to bully her when she was vulnerable.
She knew she owe an apology to Jerry.
But for today she just want to go home and sleep.

Sleep sleep the only solution.

She put on her dark shades to cover her swollen eyes and walked out.
