Chapter 17 - Aftermath

The moment Bruce's car entered the compound garage, the guys that had not gone to the meeting with him were waiting there.

He was amazed by how much these guys trusted him and even feared for him. Or maybe they feared him but he quickly dismissed that thought. "Did you guys even bother to have a chat while I was gone, literally you weren't there but thanks to the half city wide surveillance we control you were there, you saw everything on the system and how it progressed," her looked at Musa, " But I've got to hand it over to you Musa, where the hell did you come up with such a crazy idea of putting cameras in streetlights. Noone is yet to guess who much control I have over anything done on the North side. And also," he looked at Lorna, "Sweet lady."

"Yes."

"You wouldn't happen to know anyway we can procure a tender supply street lights to the south side or even any cities, no?"

Lorna smiled,"You don't have to ask. I'm glad you're happy. I'll check it too see or I may be forced to persuade them."

"Just don't be too persuasive, remember 2017, that guy ended up killing himself. Desperate measures for desperate times. We aren't very desperate for that besides remember these guys ride on public support so they've got to hold some of their actions with valor."

Musa sneeered, "You guys wouldn't mind getting inside I'm sure I cannot spot snipers from here hence I would feel comfortable with Bruce somewhere I can control and also myself sitting in that rocking chair he personally gifted me."

To the other guys, Musa was just a guns guy and the security detail hence they did not have much respect for him but to Bruce, he was the most valuable member of the team. He made problems disappear, if problems rose he would protect him with his life and mostly, he would never bother knowing much about the operations so his loyalty was greatly appreciated.

They entered the building and headed for the conference room. This building was undoubtedly one of the most protected buildings in the country.

David sat at his usual chair and all the other guys just sat quietly waiting for him to break the silence. He looked at each one of them before finally saying, "You were all there, me and Musa physically, you guys virtually. So tell me, from the meeting, what have you deduced or learnt."

Adrian just took out his tablet. As second in command, he always had the option to answer and comment first after David's questions if he desired to. " Thabo is typically a small fish. He is just someone who heard the news about those three arrests but to him, he thinks we are suffering and so thinks he can blackmail us by promising us positions in his new empire when ours fall. He thinks to us, it is too good an offer to reject." He nodded symbolising that he was done.

Bruce pointed at Lorna. Lorna and Zondo always discussed things out first and usually Lorna spoke out their mutual idea.

"Well, for once we know the person feeding intel to Micah is not Thabo. Then that leaves us with a bigger problem as we are back at square one as to who wants to the throne.

We don't know who is owed a favour by the UN to get him to sign a document to dispatch the FBI. We know it's money because anyone wanting their job done would have gotten the CIA but the CIA work for justice not money. So what we are saying is it's someone with the deep pockets.

The front man is Assistant Commissioner Tavengwa though that poor man is not sure he is just a pawn. He has been obsessed with you Boss for long and so any chance to take you down, he would accept it except now he doesn't know he is paving way for a new problem.

Also Micah was never part of the original Taskforce yet it is said the government requested him to help take you down while teaming up as already his agency, Echo had an investigation headed towards you. The issue is who pressured for it to be Micah who was brought here. He is a Zimbabwean apparently and that means among the guy who wants to take your down may be Micah's relative. It is more like the person did not want interference from anyone so when Echo said they are headed here, he asked for an agent who would not be a problem to him and Micah has gotten the best of you these past two days."

Zondo also added, "I've been tailing Micah but apparently I always lose him but I doubt he is into shaddy stuff but I'll keep looking. He is good though, very good. He probably knows I'm tailing him."

"I have heard what you all said, I propose you go to your homes and sleep. The next days arw going to be hard, we are in for a Micah induced turbulence. Musa, stay I've got somewhere I need you to go with me."

The guys filed out the room. Musa followed them and closed the door. To him, they did not matter as they were friends of his boss and he did not have to serve them. "Boss, what's this about."

"You heard what was said here, the throne, my throne is in danger."

"Yeah, rough time we are in."

"Well, we may have a bigger problem amd only you can know just like only you can help me with this."

"Shoot, what can I do for you?"

"Well...."
