If Only..(Part 1 And Part 2 Included)(Under Edit)

Chapter 15 - Vulnerable

Jereff pondered for a while and looked up at Jackson, "To the office!"

Jackson glanced at Rose and David and thumped out of the surveillance room and Jereff trailed.

Jackson flounced towards the door and thundered, "What is going on, Jeff? How did anyone even track our shipments?"

"Somehow, the information got leaked. We first need to find out who is behind this."

"I swear to god..." he hissed

"Calm down!This is not the time."

Jackson let out a shaky breath, thumped across the room and slumped over the chair

"There is one thing, that is revolving in my mind. We kept all the shipments a secret within us."

Jackson closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and speaks in a grumbling voice, "You mean someone from within has leaked the information?"

Jereff nodded looking at Jackson.

"Who would do that? Why would they do that?"

"I don't know."

Jackson leaned forward, "Do you know? You are suspecting your own men?"

Jereff sat on the chair, across the table, "Nothing is impossible."

Jackson took some time and mused, "Jeff, we cannot go out charging our men. They have been with us since the beginning."

"I know what that means. But, no one could have a track to this, unless an inside source is involved."

"I am not denying your fact but also we can't charge them directly" he closed his eyes and pinched the brigde of his nose. "We can't let them know about this either."

Jereff peered at the sudden change of his tone and moved his head in denial, "I don't understand."

"We have to come up with a trap" looking up at Jereff, "Disable the jamming devices for a day, and set a mock delivery for tomorrow"

"Are you sick?" he rebuked, "In case, you are not aware, Hawks has been vulnerable to cops after you chose to uncover yourself before your assassin girlfriend..."

"She is not my girlfriend."

"She was. But, now she knows about us and she is alive."

"And?"

"And?" he scoffed, "after this, do you know how stupid your idea sounds?"

"Jeff, trust me! It is tricky, I know. But,...I have something in my mind."

Jereff huffed and slumped over the chair. An annoyance clearly reflecting off his eyes. Even though, Jackson noticed his denial, he did not bother further, "Tomorrow at 1 am we are delivering the shipment, again. And this time the Hawks will be present there to scrutinize upon the activities. No one should miss out bullet proof vests. Fair enough"

"Jack, you are taking a huge, stupid risk."

Jackson stood up in his place, "For the Hawks? I am. But, I wont let any harm to my men. Trust me on this. I know, what I am doing." leaning over Jereff, "We will be like ghosts to them. Ghosts! They are invincible."

It was late that night, Nick tip toed out the hideout. Although, his footsteps were silent and cautious, but the intensity of his heartbeat was clear to his ears. He kept scrutinizing for possible threats in his surroundings as he made his way outside the place.

After ensuring that he is out of security area, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, the call from the other side got accepted.
