Chapter Four Coming To Terms
Michael Smith on time with his meeting at the public library. He's been waiting twenty minutes. When a woman in her fifties with light brown hair. Shows up to him at his computer terminal looking busy on the Internet.
"I am Terry. I am the one your supposed to meet. Come on lets move over to the table to converse." There is an area with no one around for the moment.
Only those sitting upstairs on the second level reading newspapers or playing with their laptops.
"Listen. I am going to give you a voice recording. I had placed into the Deputy mayor's office with orders from those. I was able to contact weeks back."
"Are you telling me that Deputy Mayor Randall has his hands caught in the cookie jar?" He says to her realy softly for no one to over hear.
"Yes, Mr. Smith. He's been giving kick backs and other favors in order to keep him in his office position for now. Along with the drugs & weapons taken out of certain police precincts; with the serial numbers having been removed in order not to be traced." She says.
She hands him a voice recording in a small vanilla envelope into his hands before getting up to leave the public library. Continuing with her words. "I must go now Mr. Smith before I am found out."
He could tell, she was scared for her life at this time. He doesn't blame her one bit. He's been doing it himself for years. Always hiding in the shadows. For those inside of the Loksat organization...
He lets her leave first before he does himself. Looking around for anyone looking suspicious. He heads out moving quickly likes always. Before flagging down an yellow cab as prearrange with those he has been in contact from his past.
And the only ones he can trust immensely.
"Donald. You asked me why I am doing this in the first place. I told you. I missed having to be involved. I wasn't cut out to be a husband and father. Even though she understood my reasons. She did say. If ever I do get bored with always running. I could always come back. With no questions asked."
"Maybe you should consider it before it's too late." His friend Donald has been playing both fields of the law. Either way his past will catch up to him. Once those involved with Loksat and ex senator Bracken before he was murdered in prison.
They had been friends going way back. Even before the organization was put together.
