Chapter one hundred: siege from all sides.
Chapter one hundred: siege from all sides.
Billionaire Andrew's bodyguard who was sent out to look for Mrs. Parker finally gets her home address.
Mrs. Parker sat on the couch and prayed for Mike's safe return she was expecting good news from Mike about her husband's release and she also tried reaching Mike but she could not.
Meanwhile, at the crib. Mason was thinking about their next move but he decided to ask Mike, “What is our next move?” Mason asked, he sat upright and looked at Mike.
Mike exhaled and said, “The book I showed you will tell me our next plan,”.
“What do you mean, the book will tell you our next plan?” Mason asked.
“The book has everything that I need to know, secrets that were hidden. It has the information that can defeat billionaire Andrew and his crew,” Mike said. He flashes the book again in Mason's face.
“It's just a book, not a diary or a handwritten note, was the information that you talked about written by your father alone? Or with someone? what can be inside, have you even opened it?” Mason asked all these questions at once.
Mike opened the book and saw some words in the storybook highlighted, with a highlighter and if you read the highlighted words accordingly you will get a sentence, a message.
Mike smiled and he showed Mason the book and what he discovered. “What?!” Mason asked.
“Just take a look,” Mike replied. He gave in the book to have a look and see what he discovered.
Mason took the book and read the sentences that the first phase of the book was highlighted, and it said, “My son, if you are getting this now just know that I am dead, and my friend and helper, mt. Parker is also dead, I just wanted to say that I am sorry for any pain I could have caused in your childhood, I was innocent but they did not believe me,” Mad stopped and looked at Mike.
“This is brilliant and a hundred percent real,” Mason said.
“Yeah, I told you,” Mike replied. He collected the book from Mason.
“So, is it only your dad that put down all this? Information together?” Mason asked.
“From what you just read, I don't think it's only him, I think Mr. Parker helped him. I must deliver the ring the ring to Mrs. Parker,” Mike said. He remembered Mrs. Parker and he was sad.
“Yes I see, but what about Mr. Parker's wife, Mrs. Parker, is she okay?” Mason asked.
“I do not think so, is she not going to like what I have to say to her concerning her husband, who passed away in prison,” Mike said.
“That is bad, I mean, really bad, but he ate you going to give her the ring when you are wanted and the police are looking for you,” Mason said.
“Don't worry I added it to a mail courier that was on the subway train, it is weird but I don't know how, I just wrapped it in an envelope and I wrote the address and I think that she might have gotten it by now,” Mike said.
“Okay, but we are getting close, I can feel it,” Mason said. He scratched his chin and he looked at Mike.
Meanwhile, police Commissioner Reynold got the full information about the crib that Officer Joe told him about but he did not trust the information. So had to make a decision.
“Officer Joe, I heard what you said, but I would like to go ahead with this one by yourself, if anyone wants to accompany you, they can but I am out of this one,” police commissioner Reynold said.
“Okay sit, I will coordinate the search,”
Officer Joe left. Officer Ruby and some police officers followed him, for the raid, it was getting late.
Police Commissioner Reynold left the police officers to do their work at the man’s clock store. On his way back to the precinct, police commissioner Reynold called billionaire Andrew, to update him about the situation.
“Hello, good evening Sir,” police Commissioner Reynold said over the phone.
“Mr. Reynold, the reason behind this call better be a good reason, what is it?” billionaire Andrew said as he picked up the call.
“Yes, it's a good reason,” police commissioner Reynold said.
“Okay go on, I am listening,” Billionaire Andrew said.
“Sir, we have discovered that Mike has a partner and have sealed his partner's store and we are investigating it, though we have a hunt of where Mike and his companion could have gone to and my men are on it,” police commissioner Reynold said.
“That is good to hear, it seems like we are finally crushing our enemies little by little,” billionaire Andrew said.
“Yes we are,” police commissioner Reynold replied.
“Okay let me know when you are done,” billionaire Andrew said.
“Okay I will,” police commissioner Reynold replied over the phone.
“And one more thing, I would like it if you do something for me,” billionaire Andrew said
“And what could that be ?” police commissioner Reynold asked, he was ready to carry out the billionaire's order.
“I want you to lay siege on Mike from all sides, with all the resources in the police arsenal, I would reward you if you do so,” billionaire Andrew said.
Police commissioner Reynold smiled, because he knew that billionaire Andrew's rewards are usually something tangible, and this was the same sentence that billionaire Andrew used to make jail Jack, Mike’s father unlawful at the start.
“Okay I will, get ready for the goodness,” police commissioner Reynold said.
“Alright, I am waiting,” billionaire Andrew said. He ended the call. Billionaire Andrew smiled after the call and he said to himself “We are getting close, I can feel it,”.
Officer Joe and his police squad, which Officer Ruby is part of, finally located the crib where Mike and Mason stayed for the evening.
The police officer Joe came out of the police car, the sirens were so loud, and Officer Joe quickly told his officers to turn it off, they did so but Officer Ruby questioned such action.
“Why did we turn off the sirens? it is part of every raid,” Officer Ruby said.
“Sometimes you need to lay a siege, quietly, the last one we did, he escaped, because they knew we were coming, so let us change our pattern, so they won't see it coming or know what hit them,” Officer Joe said.
“Oh I see, so how should we start?” Officer Ruby asked.
“I don't know because we can not just walk into this structure, they might see us coming,” Officer Joe said.
“Yeah, you are right, I suggest requesting more policemen to cover all that exists, what do you think about that?” Officer Ruby asked.
Officer Joe thought of what she said and he discarded the idea because he was looking for a way to move in stealth.
Officer Joe looked at the time and discovered that it was 7:00 pm, he checked his pocket and found a picture of the crib he was looking at and was about to raid.
The was taken from inside the crib and it looked like the crib has a window facing the streets, and the window looks small.
Officer Joe compared what he saw in the picture to what he saw seen front of him, he saw the similarities and luckily he found the same window and the same crib, it was correct, and he was happy.
Officer Ruby didn't understand, so she asked him, and, Officer Joe explained to her, she marveled.
“I admired your intelligence,” Officer Ruby said. She looked at him with a smile on her face.
“Thank you,” Officer Joe said. He smiled back at her, that connection was built once more.
The police officers moved in on Mike and Mason's crib, Mike and Mason's crib was on the top floor and there were not many people living in the abandoned structure, which made it easy for the officers to
Move in.
Mike heard footsteps of a lot of people running up the stairs, and no one came up the stairs but only them, at that time, Mason was already asleep.
The police officers got up to the top floor they did not know the exact room and they were waiting for Officer Joe to come up. Mike peeked through the hole in the door and saw the police officers, he quickly got Mason up.
“Mason! Mason! Mason! Wake up!” Mike said. Tapped Mason hard to get him up.
“What? What?” Mason said as he woke up.
“The police are here! Let us leave now!” Mike said. He pulled Mason up.
“Police?! Oh my goodness, how are we going to escape?” Mason asked.
“We are going through the rooftop, and from there, into the next building,” Mike replied. Mike collected his book. Mike climbed out of the window and waited for Mason to come.
Mason was trying to carry his tote bag but something fell out as he tried to pick it up, he heard the police banging on the door, Mike shouted “Leave it alone and let us go!”
The police officers broke down the door and mad in tried to run but he was teased by an officer, and he fell in pain. Mike saw it with his own eyes.
Mason was handcuffed immediately and he shouted “Run! Run away Mike! Forget about me!”.
