‘John, can you hear me?’ Eric over the phone. ‘yeah! what’sup?’ ‘We’ve got the location of Fernandez Gail, the one that Ishould you two days ago. The man that met with Smith’‘Where are you now?’ John asked.‘I’ll text you now where to come. Other wise, Smith may notice. I’mhanging up the phone’ Eric texted to Hassan and John. Phil had justfound out who Fernandez was. He is an ex-military, dismissed forhis misbehavior in the army. He’s now the operator of the weaponswarehouse. He had connections with William and other mafias inWhite Field.

They thought about executing Smith too. But, they didn’tknow when they both will meet again. Eric reached a deserted cornfield. It was empty. At the corner, there was a small house. Afarmer’s house. A cop’s car was parked outside. John arrived on hismotor. Hassan and Phil came along on a rented cab.

They slowly moved to the house holding shotguns and pistols.Suddenly they heard a man scream. They crouched and listened.‘What we gonna do this peasant, Sir?’ it could be Gail. It was a deepvoice. ‘Please, leave me alone. I don’t want to die. Take whateveryou want. I wont say shit to cops’ he cried for his life. He must betied up.‘Hell no! Who are you saying shit to now? Ugly fella’ Smith’s soundstruck in Hassan’s ears. His rage increased. ‘Look, old man. Either way, you are gonna die. So, better leave thatinformation to us or you’re kids goes with you’ Smith threatenedthe poor peasant. ‘Please don’t hurt my family. I don’t know anything about yourmoney’ he kept weeping for life. Eric heard the kids crying and awoman’s scream. ‘We must go now. Before he makes a mess’ Hassan said. ‘Now’ Eric shouted in a low voice. John and Phil from the back, Eric and Hassan from the front kickedopened the doors and pointed their guns at both Smith and Gail,and another fellow, who seemed just tore the poor man’s wife’s

gown. She was trying to cover her naked body with her hands.Smith took a shot at Hassan just when Phil and John shot bothSmith and the other one down. The bullet Smith shot piercedthrough Hassan’s left shoulder. It was barely a blood bath. Gailpunched on Eric’s face holding his gun and threw him over thepoor farmer. John and Phil showered bullets into Gail’s chest andface leaving him exactly in his own blood pool. He struggled forbreathe and then remained still, lifeless. Eric, stood up to help thefarmer. He spat blood from the punch. John covered the lady withhis overcoat and moved them to another room. The farmer sat inrelief. Both Gail and the other man was lying dead. Smith crawledto lean over the wall. He gasped heavily and was calling ‘water,water’ blood flowed his stomach. Hassan somehow managed to getup and resist the pain.

Questions asked and Answered

‘Why did you try to kill my family, huh?’ Hassan slapped on dyingSmith’s face.‘You told me Farra have seen Gail when he shot your son. I didn’twant anything in our way’ he laughed with pain ‘but you guyswere too clever, hmm’‘You sick bastard. We respected you. And you were going to killmy children for that?’ Hassan tried to punch him again, but Ericstopped him. ‘You get what you deserve, Smith. And now I’ve a witness to buryyou without honor’ Eric said to his helpless red face.Smith was spitting out blood. They all stood up and pointed theirguns at him. He looked up at the guns and tried to raise his handsto salute their wild intervention. Suddenly loads of bulletsscreamed through his brains and shattered pieces of them on thewall. The farmer looked at this sight in shock.

‘Hey, what’s your name?’ Eric asked the peasant.‘Simon Walt, please don’t hurt me. I’ll tell you everything’He was a fine looking old man around his 60s. He was tortured realhard previously. His finger nails were floating with blood. He had

gray hair and brown eyes with little wrinkles on his cheeks andbelow the eyes. A thick white mustache too. ‘We won’t hurt you. Just tell me what they’re asking you?’‘Alright. I heard them say from the veranda that Gail had lost hisfiles or something. These three people came in to my house’ ‘whichthree people?’ Eric intruded ‘this William, and these two officers’‘go on’‘They threatened me to not farm anymore in my field. I don’t knowwhy but they had some papers in their hands. I thought it was acourt order or the government must have decided to take my landaway. I agreed to them. And now, all of a sudden they just camehere and started asking for the money’ ‘John, Phillip. Go check the field for anything unusual’ Hassan saidto them. The farmer’s wife came out all dressed up and offered tohelp Hassan with his bullet wound.

‘Sir, I think we found a treasure’ Phil called Eric. Hassan andEric went towards the field. They found John and Phil staring at ahuge pit. There was a large tarpaulin covered on something. Johnuntied the rope and opened.‘Holy Shit!!!’ they were so surprised to see a huge stack of drugmoney. Eric called in for more backup and news channels.

Soon, helicopters began hovering over the corn field andambulance helped Hassan with better aids. News channelscaptured Smith’s and Gail’s shattered heads and reported live. Thefarmer was given proper treatment for his bruises. Eric held an icepacket on his head and watched the Intelligence Agency take careof the money. One thing’s for sure, it was William’s drug money.And who ever comes for that load will be behind bars sooner. Theamount wasn’t quite accurate. By the look of it, it could be morethan a billion. Catherine came running with Farra and theirchildren. She hugged Eric so tight and kissed him hard. Tears rolleddown her cheek and Eric wiped them away.

‘We did it fellas. Eric shouted at the team’‘But not bare knuckled, dude’ Hassan said. They all laughed.
