Chapter 177: Chapter ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN:The Scapegoat.
Reporters West, couldn’t deny the feeling that sothing bad was going to happen,the feeling has been there for quite so ti now,since he was released from Ezekiel’s hold.
He was stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, because it’s of no use trying to report him to the cops over what he did.
He had no valid evidence against him, and also the Knight’s was not a small na,he could be wiped off from the surface of the earth with just a command from him.
So, after sending his wife and son out of the country which he prayed it doesn’t backfire on him, or they end up in bad hands.
Whosoever that sent him those pictures,wouldn’t have kept a tag on him to figure out the plans he had with Ezekiel right?
As much as he tried to assure himself that this was not going to go the way he planned it,the fear was still there in his being.
"You know that i can see the fear in your eyes West,don’t blow this chance up for us.You know the consequences right?" The chief of staff told him through the comms that were in his ears,which he got a nod as a reply from the fidgeting man.
Looking at his watch, to notice that their visits were taking more ti than the initial ti they had planned on.
He didn’t complain,rather he moved his binoculars to his three sixty and noticed the company they got.
Coming down from the car was a man whose face was covered with a hoodie,it was so smart of him to hide his face,as if he knew that they had company who were watching their every mood.
Sir Ezekiel was right about his hunch about this whole etup,but luckily, they weren’t the only one who ca prepared.
Surrounding the abandoned warehouse, where his n who kept a low profile and were waiting for his order in case things go wrong.
Looking ahead as the man ca in with three other n who were heavily ard,he noticed the way Reporter West had his fist tightly clenched together.
Stop shaking, idiot!
He could have shouted at him, But that was not necessary anymore, because reporter West had his hands out for a handshake towards the man whose face was hidden.
"It’s a pleasure,you honoured my invitation Mr...’’Reporter west drawed,which was an initiative to the man standing in front of him that he wanted to know his na.
"I need to know the reason why I’m being called out to et you, reporter? Is anything wrong?"The man behind the mask asked,watching as the colour drained from Reporter West’s face at his question.
The mother fucker can’t keep his emotions in check, idiot!
He thought.
Looking away, from the reporter’s face to one of his n who had known what that look ant,halfway to do as they instructed,the reporter said sothing interesting.
"I have so good news for your boss,which i know you’re not the one i want to see"
"What makes you think I’m not the one who sent you those photos?"The man asked,intrigued to know what sort of information he had for his boss.
"Because if you were the one who i talked to,I don’t see the reason why you would hide your face away from ,I don’t snitch on business partners,so,i demand to et your boss and not his dog"
The courage that cursed through his veins at this mont,that made him sputter such words at this dangerous man who could kill him here, and no one would know about it was unspeakable.
Was it the fact that he had backup,or was it the fact that his son and wife were already on the fastest plane going to Australia ?
Whatever it was,ke knew that he cannot die right now,he did nothing wrong.All he ever did was receive a job that has changed his life,not in a positive way but in a negative way.
Maybe,just like his colleagues always do,maybe he should have thought this out for a second ti before uploading those pictures online.
Maybe,if he had done that,he wouldn’t be involved in this shit he is right now,trying to uncover the face behind the ssage that was sent to him, that is the bone of contention in the knights family.
"You..."one of the n wanted to smack the reporter across the face,but the masked man raised his right hand up and prevented him from doing so.
A sly smirk was on his face,when sent shivers down the reporter’s skin,he knew that look.
If only he could remove the mask he was putting on,then this would all be over,his face would be identified and then the rest was for Ezekeil knights to handle.
But they are ard,and would blow his head up without wasting ti and in the end he will be the scapegoat for Ezekiel Knights.
That’s not possible!
He had to choose a side now,he had nothing to lose anyway,since Ezekiel can’t get to his family either,so this was all a good opportunity to choose sides now.
But he promised your safety!
He rembered Ezekiel Knights promised him that,but what if he was lying? What if he had fooled him, so that he could get him what he wants?
The Elites always had it in them, to always use the commoners to do their bidding,putting all bla on the poor masses while they live their best life.
So no!
He will rather take his chances,than be an scapegoat for whatever it is Ezekiel’s Knights is planning on doing.
"I need to speak to your boss,it’s important"Reporter West said again, and that made it known to the Chief of staff that he had gone out of his role.
This wasn’t what he was ordered to do,does he not love his life?
Was sort of a fool is he?
"How do i believe that this is not so joke?How can i trust you detective?"
The man asked,taking a pistol from the hands of one of his n.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?!"The chief of staff shouted through the comm,when he heard what was going on.
Reporter West confird Ezekiel’s assumption that he was stupid, and was not going to go ahead with the plan removed the device in his ears and handed it over to the masked man.
"Is that enough proof?,I need to see...."Reporter West’s words were cut short,when his jaw connected with the barrel of the gun,which made him fall down and hold his bleeding lips.
"You are much more stupid than i thought,"The man said,walking up to kneel infront of West who was groaning in pain,and showed his phone to him.
"I would admit,you have a lovely wife and so..."
"Don’t touch my family!’’He yelled,sitting up only for his face to connect with the man’s fist that sent him flying to the ground again.
"Now,tell
who’s... arrhhh!!"A scream escaped the man’s lips,when the sound of a gun went off and his arm was the target.
Detective West kicked him away from him and ran away,trying as much as possible to run away from the commotion that just started.
The hearing of gunshots were loudly heard,in which the chief of staff cussed loudly.
Aiming for his next target, when he heard the sound of a gun being cocked and sothing hard pressed on his back.
"Drop your weapon"The stiff, coarse voice of the intruder commanded him,which he gulped down hard,removing his hand away from the trigger of the gun.
He knew how dire the situation was,and any slight mistake was going to end him or the intruder,how did his location get leaked?
"Drop it now,and raise your hands up "He was ordered again,as he slowly kept his weapon by his sides"Hands up right now,and turn around!"
That he did,by turning slowly which he saw the face of who it was that just ca into his lair,an unfamiliar face.
"Two steps away from the gun"The man said again,which he complied,and just as his eyes moved away from him towards his gun,he pushed him to the nearest wall with his hands on his,and let the gun out.
A kick to his stomach made him arch his back that he nearly fell down, but he kicked the gun off the man’s hand which fell down so ters away from them.
The man was quick to send a blow flying his way,which he took his hands and twisted it that he heard his bone crack,a painful cry escaping the man’s lips.
He had a wrong impression about the chief of staff, because he was made to know that he was nothing but a useless guard.
Maybe the excitent of seeing that his opponent, who was not as strong as he assud,was what made him realize and didn’t see the blade he hid in his pocket.
Because,he took it out and gave him a cut on his arm, and a kick that sent him flying backwards and hit the wall.
He rolled over to his sides, his back facing the man who smiled at his victory, and approached him to give him what he deserved,only to get drugged by him with a syringe that was not ant to be used for him.
He fell to the ground unconscious,which the chief of staff stood up,and stretched his limbs,a low cry escaped his mouth that he’s sure that his back was seriously injured.
Taking his phone out of his pockets,he got his gun that was lying on the floor,he dialed Ezekiel’s number.
"What the hell is going on Chris,what’s happening?"Ezekiel asked,still outside in the location where he was waiting for the chief of staff’s order for him to co in.
"Just like you said,the fool fell into a much bigger trap by siding with him,"He said,coming out of the building through the backdoor to check if there’s any more intruders.
"Did you get to see his face?"
"I’m afraid not sir, he’s smart and sent his minions instead
