章節 36: 34. HOW?
Although the officer was flabbergasted as to how Les could see right through these five, he ordered a dispatch. Two heavily armed police vehicles before the ambulance and two more tailing it.
Now was not the time to feel grateful. He had to find the captain of the firemen and explain to him so he could order his men back to the fire station. It had hardly been three hours since they arrived here, and he wasn't anticipating anything of the sort.
Mh! This seemed like a scheme, he thought.
He rushed to where Molemo was standing and politely asked him to drive to the police station as he would like to have a little chat with Les and might need her help too.
With that said, he again left to address his colleague in the duty;
"Sir Alvanzo, it had really been a long day for us. However, we have found the perpetrators, therefore our duty here is complete."
"Come on Rodriguez, don't joke around. When was that and why was I not made aware of this?"
"Unfortunately neither you nor I could have figured out their identities if we did not get help on this one."
"care to explain?"
"I often forget that you might be a fireman but you excel at interrogations"
The pair laughed heartily.
"Alvanso, remember the noisy bunch in the ambulance that has just left?" He looked as his friend as he looked over to where the ambulance was, he laughed softly "you won't see it as it just left."
"Those five were really terrible. Were they badly injured."
"Not exactly. They have been deceiving us all along. They are actually the people who wasnted to burn down this place."
"Oh, that's why they demanded they stick together on account of friendship support."
"yah. I will have to talk to you about all these later. Right now we have ruined a couple's night out as they are the ones who helped a great deal. I still need the help of the young lady to figure all these out though."
"Good luck my friend. Let's chat later over a beer or two."
The two parted ways as officer Rodriguez ordered his men back and the fire captain did the same.
...............….
Les did not go into the car as she was urged by Molemo.
She seemed to be in deep thought.
Molemo looked at Pedro with pleading eyes, but the later signalled him to wait. Immediately, Les rushed to officer Rodriguez who was on a phone call.
He turned around and saw Les by his side, "…excuse me, I'll get back to you," With that he hung up on whoever it was on the other side of the line. He shifted his attention to Les, "miss, how can I be of service?"
"Oh, the two looked like minions. Where is the mastermind? It was said all police officers are familiar with his face, right?"
"Yes indeed, but it seems he was not among people who came here."
"Doesn't that seem odd to you? Where is the head chef?"
"Since he was badly injured, he was the first to be rushed to the hospital."
"Mh, something doesn't seem right though."
With that she scanned the area and sported a police officer who was heading in a different direction.
"did you order your men to go to the home officer?"
Officer Rodriguez was getting impatient with the questioning, but swallowed his annoyance as he recalled how she had helped them.
"Not exactly. I told them to all head to the station."
"Then where is that one heading off to?"
Rodriguez turned around but couldn't figure out who that was. More especially because as the police inspector he was familiar with his team.
Immediately he aimed his rifle and shouted to the man who was about twenty feet away. "stand right there."
The man did not even stop, perhaps he didn't figure that he was the one being addressed.
Rodriguez fired a warning shot before the man who came to a halt. Police officers who were on the verge of boarding various cars immediately realised the situation and rushed to the side of the men they wrongly assumed was one of them.
Things have escalated to this level, Les thought as she shrunk back at the sound of the gunshot.
Oops! Seems like my gut did not betray me as always.
Poor Molemo. He wanted to embrace and protect his woman. Why wouldn't she act scared at least? And how did she guess the man was the main suspect?
