274. Hornet’s Nest
Unaware of Raziya’s little trick, the Manager led Alex straight to the Brotherhood’s secret hideout.Alex tapped on the holographic display and zoomed in on the street where the blinking beacon had finally stopped.A magnified street view helped him pinpoint the location with perfect accuracy.It was a narrow two-way street named Kerling Cross.Alex magnified the holographic display once more and tapped on the legends to get access to the names of the nearby places of interest.A single name popped up on his smart glasses: Reddington Towers.Alex took a screenshot and immediately emailed it to Godrick along with the numbers on the sedan’s plate.Ten minutes later, Godrick called back on his private number.“What do you have for me?” Alex asked.“Reddington Towers is the main office of a consultancy firm. They specialize in IT and Data Analytics. The office is registered under the company, ‘RCS’, owned jointly by Pierre Fromin and Bernetta Wayne.”“A consultancy firm,” Alex repeated. “
273. Expendable
Marcus reached Denny’s Diner right on the stroke of midnight, getting down from his cab a mile down the road and making the rest of the journey on foot to avoid raising alarms.The Diner had the closed signboard out front, but Marcus knew it was just another trick to keep the public at bay.Remembering his first briefings, he walked up to the front door and knocked thrice, each succeeding one at two-second intervals.After the third and final knock, the door parted slightly, and a gruff voice spoke from the other side.“The diner is closed. Read the sign.”“I am here for a quick smoke,” Marcus replied.Hearing the secret code, the muscular guy in the black tee unlatched the door and held it open before stepping to one side.“The Jackal has been expecting you. Please come in.”Marcus walked straight in and made his way through the maze of old wooden tables and stout steel chairs to reach a man dressed in a black suit and red tie, wearing a pair of dark blue shades.He was surrounded by
272. Murder and Middle Management
Raziya emerged from the interrogation room with a blowtorch in hand and a victorious smile playing on her narrow auburn lips.“Careful with that thing,” Captain Williams cautioned, eyeing her still flaming blowtorch.“Oh, my apologies. It seems I got carried away.” Raziya turned the flame off and put the blowtorch down before reporting to Alex. “The scorpion has finally lost his venom. He cracked and spilled everything he knew.”As they listened closely, Raziya furnished all the details that Marcus had provided her. However, she insisted that they interrogate their captive again at a later time to see if they could wring out additional information.“Thank you, Raziya. You did well. But I don’t think our friend can handle another sit-down with you. Now it’s time to act upon the information and dig up their hideout.”Raziya crossed her heart with her left fist and bowed before stepping back. “Just give the order, and I will terminate the little scorpion right away.”“Taking out a few hi
271. Angel of Death
Inside a secure underground bunker at an unknown location, Raziya stood upright in her zipped-up black cardigan and saluted Alex as he entered with Captain Williams at his side.“It’s an honor to stand in your presence again, Supreme Commander! Raziya Durrani reporting for active duty!”Alex looked at her and nodded approvingly. “I am glad you could show up on such short notice. You have done me a great favor, and for that I shall always be grateful.”Raziya’s stone-faced military discipline and professionalism quickly gave way to enthusiastic adoration as her heart leaped just by hearing the high praise from Alex.“The honor is all mine, Commander!” She exclaimed, admiring Alex with her kohl-smitten hazel eyes.Alex turned to Captain Williams and proceeded promptly with the introductions.“Captain, I would like you to meet Raziya Durrani, the fabled Sand Viper from the East. She has been a valuable asset to me during my most critical anti-insurgency and assassination operations. And
270. The Desert Viper
Positioned on the highest rooftops around the Silver Cross Hospital, Captain Williams and his team of elite commandos were ready to nab the assassin as soon as he arrived to execute the hit.With Dan Horowitz acting as the perfect unsuspecting bait, the plan looked flawless.However, none of the teams had reported any suspicious sightings so far, and the whole perimeter still looked completely secure.Captain Williams kept his eyes glued to the hospital and reached out to his men over the radio.“What’s happening over there?” he asked. “I need status reports.”“Alpha team reporting. No persons of interest in sight.”“Delta team reporting. Perimeter looks clear.”“Zulu team here. We’ve just lost sight of the HVT. I repeat, the HVT has just been moved to a secure room inside the building. No visual confirmation possible.”Even though the status reports didn’t indicate anything abnormal, Captain Williams felt something was off.It had already been fifteen minutes since Dan Horowitz had e
269. Operation Silver Cross
The next day, the former Mayor, Dan Horowitz, was finally allowed to step out of his cell after almost three weeks of rotting behind bars. But he was immediately guided into the back of an armored police van.Keeping the incident with Henry Pietersen in mind, the security arrangements had been stepped up considerably.Instead of a single cop car, the former mayor was escorted by two police cruisers, which kept the road clear and watched out for all unexpected dangers.Sitting inside the police van, Dan felt his throat drying up as his thoughts went back to Henry.Despite being behind bars, Dan had seen the news flashing on the TV channels during an inspection.Henry's sudden accidental death came as a shock to Dan, and his instincts screamed that it wasn't just a simple oil tanker collision.His last conversation with Henry rang and his ears, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep his nerves in control."I told you already that I didn't require a medical checkup. I was fine
