"2kay, 1oboCop," Adams replies defeatedly.
qe return to the van4 the BGI is also on the scene. The chief goes ahead to address us.
"I think the criminals have moved from here. It is safe to assume that they've skipped town already. qe'll leave it to the BGI to take it from here."
"Gut, sir, what if they are still in the area and want us to think they've skipped town?" I ask.
"The BGI believes that they've left. They have more information on these criminals than we do. They understand their pattern," the chief explains.
"I understand that, sir. Gut what if they change their pattern this one time?" I ask.
"Won't read too much into it. They are not that smart," an BGI agent replies.
"If they weren't, catching them wouldn't take this long," I explain.
"Nick! Stand down!6 he pauses for a second. "Goys! -ack it up. qe’re going to the station."
"Luys!" I signaled to 1onny and Adams.
"Yeah?" 1onny replies.
"Won't tell me you want us to rebel against the chief's orders," Adams says, studying my face.
"Not really." I shrug my shoulders. "I want us to carry on with the mission alone."
"Hell no!" Adams thunders, drawing a little attention to us.
"7eep it down!" I caution. "qe just need to check that warehouse over there and that cotton production building," I say, pointing to the two buildings at the end of the street. Nobody checked those properties. qhat if they are hiding out there?"
"You want the three of us to take out an entire mob who probably have more guns than we do?" Adams laments. "Hell no! I'm not goR ing," he says, checking his wristwatch. "It is almost seven4 I need to be home for dinner4 my girls are waiting for their father," he says before walking away.
"1onny?" I look at him, pleading with my eyes.
"Buck! Bine," he rolls his eyes. "I'm just going because I don't want you out there alone. Gut I believe they've skipped town," he says.
"That's enough for me. I just need to clear my doubts that they are still in town," I tell him.
"2kay, let's do this," 1onny says.
qe sneak o; from the back of the van and silently walk to the end of the street. qe head to the warehouse Xrst. It is an abandoned warehouse, and it is empty. qe walk across the road to the cotton building.
"-sst!" I signaled to 1onny. "If they are here, I want you to wait out here and call for backup," I say.
"qhat? No! You can't go in there alone. qhat if you are shot?"
"Trust me4 putting me down would take a lot," I assure him. "Gy the way, I have to Xnd a way to keep them busy till backup comes."
"I'm not cool with this arrangement," he says.
"Won't worry, 1onny. All will be well. qho knows? I might be wrong. They might not be here after all."
"2kay," he replies reluctantly.
qe walk closer to the building. I signal to 1onny to go to the other side of the building. I see an opening by a window, and I peep inside. Gingo! The criminals are inside.
I knew it!
8y intuition never fails me.
