“Who came out?” Dave asked.
“I am not sure. He was there for like……one hour, at night 12am.” Adam said.
“Oh, I see” Dave said while taking a sip of coffee from his cup.
Adam and Dave were sitting in a car hundred meters away from Mr. Brock’s house
aka ‘The Broker’. They were asked to keep an eye on Mr Brock by their boss Mr.
David. An intel was given by the agency that a person known as ‘The Disguise’,
real name unknown was about to buy some firearms through Mr. Brock from a
dealer. So Adam stays at night while Dave stays during daytime to keep an eye on
Mr. Brock so that they make leading information about the deal, or may even get
‘Mr. Disguise’.
“Why do you look drowsy. Didn’t get any sleep?” Adam asked.
“No….been thinking about this” Dave said.
“ Whoever came yesterday, something important happened there yesterday” Adam
said.
“Maybe it’s ‘Disguise?’ ” Dave asked.
“I don’t think so. No ones ever seen him. No records of him. Nothing about him in
the agency. He wont just come to Broke’s house. This is something else. We
should definitely check this out. That’s why I called you.” Adam said.
“When will Broke come back after jogging” Dave asked.
“Any minute now, lets wait” Adam said rubbing his eyes.
“Are you tired?” Dave asked.
“Yeah, a little” Adam replied.
“Lay down, I will let you know when he come” Dave said.
“Thanks man” Adam said.
It was a bright and sunny morning. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the sky. The
shops started to open. Most of the residents were jogging along the footpath, while
some were getting ready for their jobs. School bus were coming one by one to all
the house to pick up the kids.
“It’s the same view all the day. People going on with their buys lives” Dave said.
“Yeah, atleast you can work during the day and see this kind of view” Adam said.
“How come Mr. Brock live here? He’s like dealing with the criminals and lives in
such a nice street” Dave said.
“He’s making money. That’s enough for him to stay in such a big house among
these wealthy people. Maybe no one knows about his real business” Adam said.
“Yeah. They maybe wealthy, but they are really good people. The people here are
so sweet” Dave said.
“Oh really?” Adam asked.
“Yeah….especially the guy selling flowers Mr. Fredrick” Dave said pointing
towards the flower shop.
“I really like that guy from who runs the coffee shop.” Adam said.
“That’s Peter. His coffees are really….really good” Dave said
“Yeah….I am like always his last customer before he closes the shop” Adam said.
“I am always his first customer in the morning” Dave said smiling. “And there’s
this lady…. her dog always jogs along with her” Dave added.
“You want some coffee?” Adam asked. “ I am going to get some” Adam added.
“No. carry on” Dave replied.
Adam got out of the car and walked to coffee shop that twenty meters behind them.
“Good morning Mr. Peter” Adam said.
Mr Peter was a middle aged man maybe in his forties.
“Hey Adam” Peter said. “Unusual seeing my night customer in the morning” he
said smiling.
“Well just passing by” Adam said. “Well, can I get a coffee” Adam asked.
“Be right back”.
“Here’s the coffee” Peter said giving him the coffee.
“Thank you. See ya” Adam said giving him the money.
Adam went back to the car with his coffee.
“ Haaaa and that’s an coffee” Adam said drinking the coffee.
“Well what do you know about this Disguise guy? You’ve been more into him
than me” Dave asked.
“I don’t know much. But he’s like a really big guy. Deals a lot with firearms…..
like export and import them. I even heard he’s dealing with gold and stuff. That’s
the intel I got and we’re gonna search about that.” Adam replied.
“I see” Dave said.
“Oh…look here comes the Broker” Adam said.
Mr. Brock was coming back after jogging. He went straight to his house.
“Let us wait till he go to his work” Adam said.
Mr. Broke came outside after sometimes. He got inside his car and went to his
work.
“ Okay lets get going” Adam said.
Adam and Dave got out of his car and started walking to Mr. Broke’s house. They
opened the locked door and got inside. They slowly went through the hall. They
searched for some clues from last night. After searching for a long time they found
a suitcase with cash in it from the cupboard.
“Adam….this is a lot of money” Dave said.
“Yeah.” Adam said. “What else did you found” Adam asked?
“And some files” Dave replied.
Dave checked the files.
“I think this is something related to the firearms delivery.”
“Oh. Let me see” Adam said takin the file from Dave’s hands.
“Let me hold that for you” a voice said from behind.
Adam and Dave turned back. They were terrified to see a gun pointed towards
them. It was Mr. Peter from the coffee shop.
