Ascending into darkness
Chapter 16th
As soon as Police Commissioner Phil Nevins arrived into his office after being greeted by his secretary. " Sir, good morning. Captain Kate Beckett of the 12th precinct called leaving a brief message to call her back in the office. She has something to discuss that is extremely important." She stated with noticing how tired he was looking.
"Thanks, I will call her back right away in my office. Please have all of my calls on hold until I am done with the Captain. Understand?" He said in a annoyed tone with his voice. He also needed to drink some black coffee to wake him he had brought at the local vendor downstairs.
"Yes sir, I understand your orders." She replied with an expression that he knew really well during the past year. She watches him walking into his office like he didn't want to in the first place.
Turning on the light in his office with the clouds setting in outside with a possible chance of rain showers. Moving over to his desk and phone knowing that the electronic bug no longer inside. He was hoping that the lab at the 12th precinct was able to break it down even further.
Knowing the number by heart. He dialed it on his cell instead of the phone on his desk. It was a moment later when Beckett seeing the caller I.D. started to talk. "I need to speak with you, Phil about the owner of the electronic bug the lab found." She stated with taking a deep strong breath into her lungs.
"I need for you, Kate to give me the bad news. I am ready for anything at this particular moment." He waited a few seconds for Beckett to give him the news.
"I am sorry Phil to tell you this. It was your Chief Deputy officer Kasem Carey that had purchased the electronic bug. Were you able to get permission from the security company with sending you the tape on who was it that entered your office yesterday?" She asked calmly knowing that Nevins has a temper for when it comes to situations.
"Damn straight Kate! It should be here with-in the hour for me to take a look at. Otherwise as for Carey, I want you and your people to arrest him without notice along with having a news blackout on his arrest. He should be in his office in a few hours, since he's supposed to be running an press conference on different matters like yesterday."
"We will see what we can do Commissioner. Otherwise I have everyone looking for those two that had shot the grocery store owner and Jordan in the shoulder. So far it has been rather quiet at the safehouse. Maybe tonight they will try to get into the loft apartment complex. I will have additional officers with funds released by my husband."
"I want that bastard Carey in prison soon, along with his buddies. I need to end this now. I have a meeting as well later with the F.B.I. about a possible operation that is moving in trucks carrying weapons and drugs that certain underground owners are purchasing and reselling on the streets." Nevins says with a snicker over the phone.
"I heard the rumors sir. Sources close to us said that a truck has arrived at some storage location. We are awaiting word from another source to let us know where we can find some of those weapons and drugs." She responded with no further conversation went on with Nevins ending it to await for the courier with the video.
Meanwhile at the safehouse...
Doctor Franks arrived finally after being extremely busy at the emergency room. He had Doctor Ryan Dennison and another take over for him even though he was working a few hours before coming to the safehouse.
Doctor Franks cleaned up the wound on Jordan's shoulder before placing the bandages. Jordan was nervous every time the doctor had touched the sensitive areas of his shoulder. "Take it easy Jordan, I am almost done with the shoulder. You will be free to do anything you like here at the safehouse. I still have the rest of the day and evening working at the emergency room."
"Maybe Doc, you should consider changing your professional making it easier making money?" Jordan mockly with his response.
"No thanks! I decided a long time ago that I would stick it out no matter how many hours were involved working at the Manhattan Medical Center. " He was able to finish up with his shoulder, while the police officers moved away making sure all was all right outside to have the doctor leave without being tailed. Closing up his black medical bag, he was now ready to leave after drinking a quick glass of water in the small kitchenette.
He walked out looking up into the sky with the darkening of the clouds. "It looks like it's going to rain soon."
"Yes, I know doctor. We need to watch you drive off. Please use this special phone set up to call us for anyone that might be tailing you back to the hospital." Officer Wallace stated with handing him the phone and number located on the back.
"I will be sure to use it. If and when I see anyone Officer Wallace, I would hate to have Jordan injured further as myself and your officers here at the safehouse." He announced with feeling droplets began to fall from the skies. "I must go now before I am caught into a potential downfall of rain.
Officer Wallace without any jacket ran back into the motel room to check on his associates and Jordan. All of a sudden there was a clap of thunder without no lightening. "Jordan are you alright? Standing away from the window.
"I never really liked thunder for when I was growing up over the years. My father used to always call me a sissy." He noted with moving into the kitchenette to make himself something to munch on as with a drink.
