CHAPTER 103
"Returning to your question about how I know there are things he hasn't mentioned, there are three main issues here. The first issue concerns a man named Francisco Michael. I'm certain he knows where he is, and it's not true that he doesn't, as he claimed. All of them were unusually close according to current information, so how is it possible that his close friend, whom the world and we believed to be dead, is suddenly alive and he claims not to know his whereabouts? This old man is hiding something. Why tell us something he wasn't even asked about today? What's his motive? We need to keep in mind that he knows very well about this person's existence and location," the pastor was breaking down each point for his subordinates, pausing slightly to let them understand before continuing.
"The second issue is about the twins he mentioned. First, we don't even know if there really are twins or if he was just lying to us. If this child really exists, then he is the one to lead us to where he is, as he must know, and we need to have this child in our hands because he will be very helpful in the future. If this child really exists, then at any cost, we must find him. I repeat, at any cost, we must get him alive before they find him or before they realize we are looking for this child and…" John Mwituka wanted to continue, but the leader of THE FIFTEEN GREATEST WALLS interrupted him briefly to ask a question, feeling as if the old man was starting to confuse him or himself.
"What gives you the certainty to say that he knows where the child is, Chief? And what if he doesn't know?" he asked, making Seven pay more attention, as he wasn't one to speak much, spending most of his time executing what he was instructed to do.
"These people were very close, sharing everything. That's why there are many secrets he holds that the CDF doesn't. It means they knew him well, which is why they avoided him or maybe set a trap for him without his knowledge. Now, if he said that when his brother was nearing the end, he told him the child was in Zanzibar, do you think it's possible for his brother to die without him knowing where the child is or without starting to look for his close friend's relative? No human being lives like that. He must know something and has decided to keep it buried in his heart, making us look foolish."
"So, Chief, why don't we go to Zanzibar to look for the child if it's possible to ensure this?"
"Hmm, remember my first statement very well and with great care: fear intelligent people, and fear them greatly in your life. If the child were in Zanzibar, wouldn't he have been found by now? Zanzibar has a population of fewer than three million people. Where would he hide? Stop believing everything you are told. He has deceived us. If this child exists, there are two possibilities: he is either here in or outside the borders, but not in Zanzibar."
"And what is the third issue, Chief?" Seven felt like they were arguing about something that had been clear for a long time, so he changed the topic abruptly and asked about the third issue, which was among the things mentioned earlier. The pastor smiled slightly before opening his mouth again.
"Despite his reputed physical danger, he is also the leader of a group said to be extremely dangerous. They call themselves the FIVE POISONED SERIAL KILLERS, but they use the TOXIC symbol. It is said that if you see this symbol anywhere, be very careful because they are not far from that area. It could be one of them or more than one, although it is said that each person usually operates alone. There are signs of their presence that very few people understand. The first is their TOXIC symbol, but also, if you encounter any paper or place with one of the letters from TOXIC marked in black and red, it means they are in that area. You then have three options: kill whoever you find, though I don't want this to happen because I want them captured alive, accept being killed yourself because they are said to be merciless, or fight them and ensure you bring them in alive. A fourth option, not mandatory, is to run away to save your life," he paused, explaining each piece of information very carefully.
"Chief, why do they use those two colours, black and red?" Seven, who didn't seem to fear these people at all, asked confidently.
"First, black is their identifier as they wear black clothes as their uniform. Some say they are ninjas, although it is said there isn't a single ninja among them. They wear such clothes and sometimes use hoods that conceal their true identity. As for red, it symbolizes blood. It's a warning that if you see even one letter marked near you, it means someone will be killed in that area. It could be you or someone else," the answers greatly pleased Seven.
"Well, I want to meet these kids so I can teach them what kind of country the United States is. They will regret ever meeting someone like me in their lives," his boastful words made Pastor John look at his young subordinate closely. He had no doubt about him; he was very capable.
"Monalisa is here." The old man's statement made Seven flash all thirty-two teeth in a broad smile, thrilled to hear that the woman he loved so much had come close to him, even though she never understood his feelings at all.
"But you won't meet her at all until you complete your task first. Three significant events are about to unfold. First, the IGP will be arrested. Following his arrest, the second event will occur: the young man will likely come to see him, and that will give us the opportunity to test if he is truly dangerous. If it turns out he is indeed dangerous, we will capture or kill the one they call Jason. The third task is the one you need to perform," the pastor said, extending his hand toward Seven.
"I want you to find the other four members of that group. Once we arrest the IGP, we will have him. The others were last seen at NIT, the university, and then disappeared completely after killing several soldiers. This means they are either on the streets or in their secret hideouts. I need you to track them down one by one and bring them to me. The one we capture will reveal the secrets of the others. I am going to meet with the lawyer, Yasinta, to find out where she obtained those items," the pastor concluded.
By then, it was already light outside, and dawn had fully broken. He said his farewells, stating that he was heading to the same place where Jason had been the night before, narrowly missing a government vehicle.
