Alex PVs
Wujing gave me a headache, but my associates got a new route, new partners and in a month everything will be resolved, the matter is closed.
Now let's see what I can do with Elisabeth, it seems like she hates me for no reason and says I'm a murderer, she's not wrong but she's not right either, I think this time things won't go according to plan.
In the middle of my thoughts the phone rings, I go to it and answer it. "Hello, who am I talking to?"
On the other end of the line, an accented voice says. "How's it going out there, did anything good happen?"
I smiled and said. "What mess did you get into, what happened?"
Milos' words sounded more serious. "I'm being targeted by the ghost T. Solotov, he seems angry for some reason."
I took a breath and said. "You know he's Chechen, don't you?
Have you done anything bad in Chechnya in recent years?"
Berlin gets angry and says. "I didn't do anything, if I had I wouldn't be connected! in recent years I run my business normally and I also spend time with my daughter, I'm very happy, why worry about others?
My only worries are my daughter, work, and revenge!"
I was stressed and said. "You just know how to get me in trouble, why can't you be a normal old man like all the granddads of crime?
Leave it to me, you're pushing my plans forward a year, and that will force them to act fiercer, I was planning to wait for the Decembrist to show his face, but now I'm going to have to move on."
Berlin is silent for a moment and then asks. "What are you going to do, and how much did I screw up your plan?"
I gave a cold smile and said. "You fucked up, plans went to hell with a single call from you!
T. Solotov is the conspiracy's private assassin, I've done some work with him and against him in the past, so I know him, if he's going after you it's because the conspiracy sees you as a potential danger or he's protecting Chechnya, how you guarantee it has nothing to do with that place, it can only be the conspiracy."
Berlin heard what I said, got angry, and then spoke. "Motherfuckers!! I was investigating them, and it looks like they're making big moves in Texas, and they seem to have some plan that involves the President of the United States.
Is that why I'm being hunted?"
I was seriously angry this time, so I spoke every word with barely contained fury. "And why didn't you tell me that sooner!!!
Let's back things up a bit, you do your investigations and discover something big enough to be a nuisance to the conspiracy, you're being targeted by one of the biggest Snipers in the world, and you think it's not important?
Do you have anything else to tell me, such as everything you know about this subject!
Or do you want me to face one of the greatest Snipers in the world without all the information?"
Berlin is embarrassed, but she still tells everything she knows. "I didn't think it was important, I'm sorry.
I don't know the whole plan, but my associates said the scapegoat is a famous guy in the gun business, Bob Lee Swagger."
My fury ignites and I say. "Fuck Milos! I'm going to hang up now!"
I hung up the phone in Milos' face, and with a lot of furies I called Reddington, my plans went down the drain, now it's just a matter of attacking head-on.
•••
Reddington's PVs
I called the task force and asked them to bring me, Elisabeth, I already have a new name for their blacklist.
Dembe who is beside me says. "We can't stay here, you have to be in Port Prince by noon.
If you want to attend the appointment."
I looked at Dembe and said. "I won't be long, bring the car."
After Dembe had gone to get his car, Elisabeth arrived and sat next to me, and I greeted her by reading a headline in the paper. "...And it was only because of the efforts of an FBI analyst that suspicion began to fall on Hector Lorca, leading to his arrest and prosecution...
Well done Lizzy, Awesome!"
Elisabeth sighs and says without taking her eyes off her cell phone. "So you know I have to be in court in three hours?"
I put the newspaper beside me and said. "Your case goes down the drain!"
Elisabeth finally looks at Reddington and asks. "What! Why what happened?"
I say. "Lorca's people got in touch with me, normally I wouldn't waste my time, he's a fifth-rate dealer.
Certainly, nothing about him catches my attention, but his request is of great interest because it involves you!"
"What is he asking for?"
Without losing my breath, I recounted Lorca's request. "Transportation abroad, identity document, passport, bank account, credit cards.
As well as being introduced to the right people so you can re-establish your business elsewhere.
And he's asking all this for tomorrow.
For some reason, Lorca is under the impression that he will walk out of that courtroom a free man."
Elisabeth was stunned and then said. "That is impossible, my witness is going to testify today and will finish him.
Lorca isn't going anywhere!"
I shook my head and said. "Something's going to happen today Lizzy! I don't think you're going to have a good day in court!"
After giving my warnings and advice, I grabbed my things and headed towards my car, halfway through I got a call from Alex, looks like it's not just Elisabeth who's having a bad day today. "Hello, what's the matter, Alex?"
Soon Alex's voice came over the phone, and the news wasn't as good as I thought it would be. "We have a big problem, the Conspiracy is up to something big, they even mobilized T. Solotov.
Things got three times worse than I thought they would.
They're up to something for the president!"
I was surprised by this information and that's why I asked. "What is going on with you, explain to me in detail what is going on and where did you get this information, why are you so angry and how is the president of the country involved in this?"
Alex visibly calms down and then says. "I found out from my undercover associate who has a high-ranking member in Texas by the name of Red Bama, who owns the Bama food chains.
He's been laundering a lot of Conspiracy money over the years, but this time the amount moving is huge, and that can only spell trouble, and how do I think this has anything to do with the president?
Simple, 11 days ago a man was killed with a sniper shot, they found the hiding place 1,300 meters away.
What's worse is that there is no evidence of multiple shootings.
It was the work of an expert, and one of the best.
I only know of three people alive besides me who can fire this shot."
I was surprised and asked. "That's interesting, who was the victim?"
Alex ignores my question and continues to speak. "It was a single shot, through the trees, the shooter couldn't miss, the ammunition and a 33.9 caliber a perfect shot to the head.
A mile-long shot in the forest, it has humidity, vegetation, even the Earth's rotation is a factor, this guy is a pro.
Do you understand the gravity of the situation?"
I think he's still nervous and something is wrong, I asked what it was. "Tell me the truth, is anyone else involved in this?"
Alex ignored me and continued. "On the body they left a letter, threatening the president, if it was on normal days we wouldn't be having this conversation, but the man who wrote this letter was not normal so they had to take this matter seriously.
The letter said the shooter would execute the president of the United States at the Seattle Science and Robotics Center in 20 days."
I took a deep breath and said. "Now, that's a problem.
Why wasn't the FBI alerted and how do you know this and I don't?"
Alex says. "This is important?
Since you want to know so much, I have men in the secret service who work directly for the president, and I just got this news today and the event took place 11 days ago.
Just by the delay, you can see the seriousness of the situation, I think things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.
I'm afraid it's not just the president in danger, for this news not to get out, the president must be doing something important that negatively affects the conspiracy."
I have to agree with his reasoning, it doesn't smell good to me. "You're right, something is happening.
Something big, and it could completely derail our plans."
"Yes, I will investigate further.
Maybe I'll kill Red Bama and expose his money laundering schemes, at the very least it will be a headache for the Conspiracy or worse.
I still don't know what to do, and I don't even know what the Conspiracy's plans are, but I'm going to need help."
I sigh and say. "Today won't work, I'm on an important case for Elisabeth, you'll have to start without me."
Alex didn't even try to convince me it was important, he just nodded. "Okay. You have a week at most.
Come as soon as possible! Goodbye."
He doesn't even give me time to respond, but I don't blame him.
There is something very wrong with this story, not everything is as black and white as Alex says, and he knows it.
He's protecting someone, and that someone is very important to him, I can only think of one person who qualifies to fit into this mess.
Looks like the Swagger family has gotten into something big again, this time Bob Lee Swagger has gotten himself into some serious trouble!
