Pretending to Be an Untouchable Crime Boss-Chapter 150: Watching Over.
"They are out!" Edward said as he stepped into Linda's office.
"What are you talking about?" She asked, confused because she didn't know who and what exactly was out.
"Bellini men. They are going with a convoy somewhere, and they are packed." Edward said again, and now Thomas too looked at him with confusion. Of course, he knew that they were going to fuck up Marco, but he didn't understand how Edward knew that they were in motion.
"How do you know?" He asked.
"We're watching them with a drone." He said simply, and Thomas and Linda just looked at him with more disbelief all over their faces.
"What the fuck?" Linda asked as she slowly got up. "You want to fuck up our whole deal with them?!" She raised her voice.
"The deal also concerns us. We need to know what exactly they're doing, especially now. We can't just sit and wait until news comes, that they're fucking killing everybody in the city." He shook his head. "We need to know what exactly is going on, so yeah, I sent out a drone."
There was silence, but then Thomas spoke again. "I mean, that's kinda true… but how did you send out a drone, what did you say?"
"I said to them we are testing a new camera system on it, and that's it."
"So you sent out a fucking surveillance drone, only to spy on them?" Linda asked as she stared down at Edward.
"Yeah, that's what I did."
Silence again as Linda just closed her eyes, taking a long and slow breath.
"I don't have ill intent, Linda." Edward said as he realized she wasn't that happy about it. "We're not just spying on them, but also we can intervene if something bad happens, like, I don't know, they get in a trap or something, we can inform Bellini about it or send our men to help them." He said as Linda now looked at him. "And don't worry, nobody's going to question what that drone is doing there. I can make it clear."
"I hope so, because they're going to ask questions about it. A drone is going to test-fly exactly when a literal war breaks out between two families… what a coincidence, isn't it?" She shook her head as she sat back down.
"Then I'll call it back." Edward said as he turned.
"No!" Linda shouted."Just bring a fucking screen that we can watch it… at least we can see what is exactly happening."
"Then I come back in a minute." Edward said and left the office.
"Can we really trust him?" She asked Thomas as Edward went out.
"He has a good record, I mean record of corruption and other shit, so I don't see the chance he's going to backstab us or the government. He would get nothing good out of it… he just, I don't know, is worried about this whole thing just like us. I mean if we even fuck up with one step, all the government is going to be fucked… the system we built." He said as he leaned back in his chair. "But shit, at least we can see how good the Bellinis are." He smiled at Linda, but she wasn't smiling but already planning in her hand.
Watching them in the sky above with a drone gave them a source to what to do next, and that was what Linda was thinking about.
"James said we will act like it was a raid." She looked at Thomas. "So Isabella's house was already done by us or by the NSBI and it went smoothly." she said. "Benjamin messaged me that he found the "message", so we are going to do the same with Marco's house, but this time it would be your agency."
"The IF doing a raid?" Thomas chuckled. "The last one happened 1 year ago."
"That's exactly why. We need to share success between agencies to have more ground to the accusations and the start of the internal conflict of agencies. So we watch them with a drone and in the meantime inform your agents. When we see them leaving Marco's house, immediately deploy them so we can play it like it was a raid."
"I mean, I still didn't inform them about this whole thing… or how did Benjamin do it?"
"You don't need to. It's only going to be in the report that it was a raid and you are the one that killed them. Benjamin already spread the lie about the shadow agency, so you too tell them a secret agency or a force killing the gangsters without the approval of the… I don't know fucking congress."
"Ahh, that's too much of a lie. We're going to tangle in it." Thomas sighed. "I'm just going to tell them that they're going on a raid and that's it. They don't need to know shit, only to tell the lies toward the public and the congress."
"Do it how you want, but make it believable." Linda said, and then Edward finally came back, with a laptop, a chunky one.
He said nothing, just put it on the table and turned it on, and when he did, its vents were spinning so fast and were making noise that every gamer laptop would be jealous of. It was also spitting out dirt and dust.
"Fuck is this, Edward." Linda said as she got up covering his nose.
"I'm sorry about it." He said, smiling as he swung his arm into the air. "This was sitting in the rock bottom of a storage unit, I think it was used on a peacekeeper mission, but still works." He smiled as the dust settled in the office. "Basically, it's an untraceable laptop that connects to the drone… well, usually attack drones, but it still works with surveillance ones too." He explained and then did something on it and suddenly the footage of the drone camera came on. "That's it, look." He pointed at the screen.
Linda looked at it and it was true, a whole convoy was going on the streets, but that wasn't what she wanted to see, but the more important thing that involved civilians too.
