Chapter 17
Late at night, Jamal's phone rang. It was Joe. Joe wanted to know what his friend was doing, since he left the detective work.
"Oh, I am fine here," Jamal said. "I have some work and all, but that is about it."
"Same for me," Joe replied. "Even I left the police force."
Jamal was surprised to hear that.
"But why?"
"It is just that I have other plans as well, and I am keen on it."
"Really?"
"Sure."
"Oh, I hope that, whatever work we do, we do it the right way and so that we can get the benefits later in life."
"Sure."
"What is with the noises in the background?"
"Cats and dogs. Wolves, too."
"It is almost midnight. What are you doing outside?"
"I just came home from shopping," Joe said and laughed. Jamal also laughed, and they went on talking before the time was right to switch off the phone and go to sleep.
Joe actually went to the shopping mall to buy some cloth. Cloth, as in things that are used to make clothes, or decorations. The cloth was actually intended for Eddie, who looked forward to fighting crime as The Jay. Joe handed over the cloth to Eddie, since Eddie was busy with what looked like his final paperwork.
