Chapter 29
At that moment the doctor crossed with young Brackenreid. When I reached Agent Crabtree's height, John was silent for a while weighing his next words.
-Detective Murdoch says what his plan is for when we get to the port
The young man's comment caused George's eyes to flutter nervously for several seconds.
William, who carried a briefcase with various artifacts of his invention, found himself in his wife's arms. -What is it? It's all right?
-Yes -murmured Julia kissing her face-. Thank you.
-Why?
-For everything you're doing.
At that instant a car passed very close to its location. Although the guy driving didn't see them Murdoch identified the driver crouching fast.
-It's Decker.
When George and John arrived they all remained silent for several seconds as they searched for a hiding place that would give them absolute discretion.
-I was going with another man -William pointed his finger-. They stopped at that place.
-It's a bar that usually frequents several members of the Black Hand -George acknowledged, shaking his head-. Maybe they're putting their plan in place.
To the left of the premises they saw a building that looked like a warehouse guarded by two armed men.
-I'd bet there are the young women who have kidnapped -John said, raising his head-. Maybe my father's there with them, too.
-Lord... I mean... detective... I mean...
-Murdoch.
-That -George remarked, exhaling a loud sigh-. Murdoch.
-Mm…
-Contact the other team to tell them we've found the mobsters' lair.
-Lair of the mobsters -murmured William snuttering his eyes-. I'll be a minute.
-We'll wait until the rest arrives.
At that instant three pairs of eyes turned to the agent. George understood that he had command problems in his own ranks.
-Another better option?
-If Decker is inside, it's because his plan will get going quickly -William said, shaking his head-. We can't waste any more time.
-All right. John and Dr. Odgen reduce the two guys in the warehouse by freeing the young women inside.
-Good.
-Murdoch and I will try to enter the premises to reassess the situation.
-Maybe the inspector's inside -William recalled, leaving his briefcase on the floor-. I have brought several artifacts of my invention that can give us some advantage.
-How?
-I call them tear-causing gases.
-You will have to improve the name of the invention.
-Julia.
-Sorry...
-When we get close to the door, we pull the ring of these boats -Murdoch explained, also pulling out some strange masks-. This will protect us.
-Too complicated.
-Don't you have a simpler invention in that briefcase?
-Mm...
