Chapter 15
"Did the detective report to the office today?" I asked Ramon. The boy watched me shaking his head no. I didn't understand the brooding mood he was in today and I didn't want to interfere.
"Did you do what I asked?" His shoulder's straightened after he heard my question.
"Yes sir. I went to the school where she studied and I got the friend who called the police her name is Rosalind Michelin.
Her parents and the prime minister are very good friends.
Through one of their interactions is where she met Mariya.
The parents were the ones who recommended Mariya to be taken to that Catholic school as it disciplined wayward children in the high-class society.
Rosalind was admitted to the school after her parents discovered her attraction to the same gender.
It seems like Rosalind and Mariya were more than just friends. "
After listening to Ramon narrate all the information he found about her I lit my cigar taking slow puffs from it.
"Make sure nobody finds out about the girl including the detective.
Keep her safe, direct the direction of the case to somewhere else until we find Mariya.
The prime minister has to pay!" I ordered.
"And Ramon, find out the addresses of all the prime minister's mistresses I want to pay a visit to all of them."
Ramon left the office to do what I asked of him when my phone rang. "Hello Scorpion can we have the delayed shipment downtown within an hour. The boss is in urgent need of the items. He is willing to pay twice the price if you can have them delivered personally."
The line went dead on the other side a sinister smile plastered on his lips. He had been waiting for that call for weeks after he spent the night in jail. He knew exactly where to lay the trap and it seemed like the mouse had fallen for it.
He took his coat and placed his silencer behind his waist. Tonight was going to be a blood bath.
Downtown the man with his goons awaited for Scorpion to deliver the goods as promised and also ambush him.
"Is the shooter ready? We mustn't let that son of a bitch escape us today.
No matter the cost I want that son of a bitch dead! " The man declared.
There were around thirty men armed to the tooth each stationed in different alleys to ensure that there was no escape for the most feared gang leader.
A black van drove to the location where the delivery was to be done and the scrawny looking man ordered in Russian for the men to get ready. The door slid open a woman in red heels stepping out visibly shaken. For a moment Cobby and his men were prepared to shoot when recognition hit him.
"Lower your weapons!" He ordered. "Catalina what are you doing here?" He asked obviously angry. Tears were falling on her cheeks her mascara ruined beyond recognition.
"He...he...he...took my son and asked me to drive this van here. Once it has been driven here. I leave it then he..lll...give back my son."
Cobby's eyes turned red veins on his forehead becoming more prominent.
"Where is that son of a bit Catalina?" She pointed at the direction where the van had come from and in came Scorpion in a black motorcycle.
All the guns were immediately aimed at him.
Laughter echoed in the alley as he descended the bike with hands in the air.
"I am not armed so no need to point those at me. I delivered the goods as promised and I'm here to collect my part of the deal," he said in a sadistic tone.
"Where is my son Ivan?" Cobby demanded. Ivan Bratan broke into another hearty laugh as if he didn't hear what the man said.
He took a cigarette lighting it up while ignoring the man.
He opened the back of the van revealing all it's contents.
"Here is everything delivered within an hour's time as agreed.
I'd like to have my pay before we discuss anything contrary to the deal we had "
Cobby signalled one of his men who walked in with two briefcases containing five million dollars each. He passed them to Scorpion who whistled to his men to come pick the cash. Sammy opened the briefcase ensuring everything was in order. He nodded to his boss who in turn nodded back.
"Tell your men to lower the guns and standby and maybe I'll do you the honor of telling you where your son is or tell the prime minister that his mistress who sired a son for him isn't actually his son but his right hangman's," Ivan threatened.
The man looked uncomfortable with the statement Ivan made and ordered his men to put down their weapons. A siren was had from a distance and Cobby ordered Catalina into the van while Ivan watched as she drove away.
"How dare you try to kill me and also set me up with the police!" Taking out his silencer out of his back he shot him on his thighs. "This is not how I do business Cobby. Next time you do this a bullet will end up in your forehead!" He threatened.
"We both know I'm no pussy to involve the men in blue in this," said Cobby.
"Put your hands in the air and drop your weapon!" ordered detective Williams.
Ivan aimed his gun at Cobby once again shooting him in his stomach. "This is for my men Aleksandr and Sergio. If you survive thank the one who you pray to"
Detective Williams shot at Scorpion who had already put on his helmet and rode out of the scene living Cobby and his men who fired at the men in blue.
How did the detective know the location of the meet up? Cobby maybe one hell son of a bitch but he is no snitch! I want this office turned upside down to find out if it is bugged or not. And how on earth can my office get bugged and no one no noticed it?"
Each of my men searched the office for traces of recorders as anger made me want to rip everything apart. There was only one logical reason for the ambush. The detective.
"Sir I found something."
Taking three recorders in my hand I put them on my desk.
"Check the entire building and make sure everywhere is secure!
" I can't believe he would do that just when I thought I could trust him but of course he is just like all of them men in blue.
In for glory and ranks what else did I expect. He is going to pay!
