The Marvelous Elijah's Return

I am you mother!!!!

Darting his gaze away from the door, DeeDee looked back at Elijah

and then said, “I can‘t leave the country now. Thornton is a

smart man… If he senses that anything is out of place for a transaction, he will back off

from it and go into hiding…” The fear in DeeDee‘s eyes subsided as he continued, “If you want to catch T

hornton in the act and lock him up for good, tonight is the night. He has a container of teen girls leaving i

n the morning hours by sea to be sold to a Brothel in Memphis, and it‘s too dangerous

to wait for another day… Tonight, his guard will be down because everything is set for the transaction.” “

So, are you agreeing to my offer?” Elijah asked. “Yes!! These past months, I can barely look into my gran

dmama‘s eyes out of shame, knowing that I work for the devil. When I close my eyes, I am disgusted wit

h the nightmare I have. Thornton said

if he aces this transaction, he will reward me with a weapon… I don‘t want a gun, I want to further my ed

ucation.”

“Okay then, what‘s the plan? It seems like you know Thornton best.”

There was a long pause as DeeDee thought, and then he finally answered, “The transaction starts at ele

ven… We leave at ten. You will have Thornton‘s location at nine. You have a connection, so I will leave it

up to you to figure out who to send. Just know that

Thornton is not only a drug Lord but a gun Lord. Have someone ready to move my grand–

mama the exact time you plan to strike Thornton because…”

Looking back at the door, DeeDee swallowed hard. Then he said, “…

Because Thornton doesn‘t trust newcomers, and he always has eyes on us. That’s why you need to wait

a couple of minutes after I

leave the pharmacy before

leaving through the back door. A single mistake with this and Thornton will run down hell on all of us… an

d it will be a bloodbath.” At five–

fifteen, Elijah was seated in the back of his armored BMW X7 SUV, and knowing that his presence back i

n the country would have eyes on him, he pulled out his phone and dialed Mr. Bamford’s number.

“Can you get me in touch with the director of the FBI, like right now?” Elijah asked urgently. “You want to

speak with Christopher?” Mr. Bamford questioned.

“Yes… On the phone.” “Concerning.”

“Something,”

The line went cold for a while, and then Mr. Bamford faintly chuckled before he said, “He will

call you soon.” “Thanks,” Elijah uttered, staring at Dice, eyeing him in the rearview mirror.

“Are you not going to tell me what this is about–”

“Goodbye, Chief Constable.”

After his boss had ended the call, Dice met his gaze in the mirror and said, “You are not allowing

the police to handle this?”

“If Thornton is as dangerous as they

claimed, I don‘t want Bamford anywhere near there…” Elijah answered before putting away his phone.

“You are worried about him,”

“He has grown on me, but there are jobs for the police, and arresting a drug lord is not one of them beca

use it‘s going to be messy if they do… So the FBI should handle this.”

As if on cue, Elijah‘s phone rang again, and he saw that it was an unknown number.

Slipping a finger onto the screen and pressing the answer icon, the voice on the other end of the line spo

ke, “Hello, Mr. Maxwell, this is

Incumbent Christopher Hitchens, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I was told by Constable

Frederick Bamford that you wanted to speak to me, sir!”

“Do you know Thornton?” Elijah asked bluntly. “Leader of the Dark Disciples gang… The Drug Lord and

one of the largest dealers in the city. If that‘s who you were referring to, then yes, I know him. He had bee

n on our most–wanted list for years.”

“That‘s good then. I have a tip

on him. There is a transaction going on tonight… a container of young girls is going to be traded tonight,

and Thornton is the one behind the transaction.”

The line went silent for a brief second before Christopher replied,” That is very interesting… May I ask ho

w you got such a tip, Sir? We have been trying to get someone to Snitch on Thornton for years now...”

“My source remains a secret. Have your squad ready before nine because the information of his location

s will come in by then, and have your man ready to advance at eleven–ten.”

After a brief pause, Christopher replied, “Understood, Sir… I will alert my man and have them ready.”

After the call ended, Elijah dialed Scorpio up, commanding the moment he answered the phone, “Get a f

ew of our guys along with you to disguise themselves and watch over DeeDee‘s grandmother‘s house…

The moment Thornton gets captured I need you to get her out of there immediately.”

“Yes, boss!” Scorpio responded.

Eight–

forty, the sound of the water running echoed in the bathroom as Elijah stood under the shower, drenching

the soap off him, and then a moment later, he entered the bedroom with a towel

around his waist, picked up his phone off the nightstand and video called Peach.

Within one ring, she answered, her face popping up on the screen, and a smile appeared on her lips inst

antly, “I miss you.”

“I missed you two.” Elijah whispered, walking toward the bed, sitting down at the edge

of the mattress. “Tell me about your day?”

Their call went on for a few minutes and then a message popped up on Elijah‘s screen, “Denmark port, 2

5 km to the north of Nashville. We are on our way. The buyers are already waiting at the

port.”

“Babe, let me call you back.” Elijah hastily said, ending the call when he heard Peach say, “Okay.”

Afterward, he called Incumbent Christopher, and the moment he answered, Elijah said, “Thornton is on

the move. I am about to send you his coordinates, so be prepared to move.”

“Roger,” Christopher replied.

The moment Elijah ended the call, he texted the location, and then the waiting game was on.

Feeling too tense to call Peach back, Elijah got dressed and then dropped back on his bed, staring at the

ceiling, his mind running wide with thoughts until sleep overpowered him…

Twelve on the dot, the echo of his ringtone made Elijah jerk awake, sitting up and reaching out for his ph

one, and when he got

it, he found Mr. Bamford‘s name flashing up on the screen and then answered, “So it was Thornton‘s loc

ation all along…”
