8 Chapter. After the bust

"How did you ever got the information on this kaith?" Dennis asked

"My team had been investigating on this for a long time. We were able to uncover some the top members of the organization, but identifying them is useless without knowing who runs the show and how they operate." she said sighing.

"It's been frustrating to know that we cannot do anything without knowing their protector in the government." Doug said. " So what we can do is paralysing their operations by busting their shipments." kaith said. " Did you know that the biggest processing plant in the country is located right in your jurisdiction? and we cannot do anything about it because the protector is your chief and some of your supervisors."

How did you know that?"Dennis asked.

"We've been tailing them for a long time but our moves are restrained. My team has been trying to break in your location. but we didn't know who to trust. Which is why I'm glad we collaborated in Deborah's case. I was able to check on you ."

Doug understand that it is the SOP they cannot just trust anybody and divulge sensitive information.

Their location is strategic for the organization because they occupy the major shoreline. the criminals get access on private fingerling wharf as they can easily dropped their shipment there.

"OK here we come. we were early. some of my team are on post. wear this to identify yourselves. they are identical to what they are using."

some of their men were posted at the shore, while some mostly Kaithlyn team are on the water waiting for the ship to dropped the items in the sea to retrieve them they are heavily armed.

Kaithlyn and Doug boarded the ship carrying the contraband to stopped it. They successfully carry out the operation with no casualty in their side.

The following day Douglas presented the evidences linking some of the officers in their department to the organization pending their arrest.

Days followed one by one the processing plants and storage plants fall on the hands of the authorities. Arrest were made and investigations were conducted. But the biggest set back was the mastermind was able to escape and no one knows of his identity nor his appearance.

For a while Doug and his men were riding high on their success. Kaithlyn and her team was left in the shadows to protect their identity. they were contented to just helped in solving the problem. but they were given commendations secretly.

At this time the cat and dog relationship of the two has been elevated to being allies and friends.

"Until now I still cannot believed that we were able to carry out the operation smoothly and thoroughly. Thanks to you and your team. I'm forever grateful to you Kaith."

"Oh... you make me blush, but seriously sparking Doug, it's working with dedicated people, with very good knowledge on the technology utilising the proper information with thorough and careful planning we got the Job done." then she become silent.

"What are you thinking?"

"You must realised that it's only the beginning, we have a bigger wider and stronger enemy now, You are exposed now with your new position as the chief and the price they set on your head is much more higher now."

"I know." he touches her hand.

"Please be very careful Doug, I don't want to loose another friend."

"I will," and they both look on each other's eyes.

He was thinking about those inviting red Cherry lips, she was thinking its the first time he notice his eyes, they didn't show those mischief hidden in them. She is fighting the urge to raise her hand and touch his face.

And slowly, inch by inch their faces almost touching.

Ring.....

Both startled they suddenly broke apart.They look at each other and started laughing.
