12 Tragedy 9
“Kidnapped? Was she ever kidnapped?”
Despite himself, Ken took a deep breath and remarked.
“Mother, it was not a pleasant experience. It is better not remembered. Let's leave you to get ready.”
They stood up at once and walked towards the door.
“It is okay.”
She accepted as she walked to her room. Meanwhile, after the International Vice Chairman and his wife walked to their suite, Mr. Ahmed Nura walked back to the underground to have a chat with the Lieutenant, and he was pleased to hear that none of the suspects escaped.
“That is a good one. In that case, our work is easier. We will listen to their statements when we get to the Industrial Area.”
“It is all right, boss.”
Then, Dora, who was a bit stable, walked down to the parlor and gave Mr. Robert and Adline instructions.
“Good to see you. Mrs. Israel. What a surprise!”
“Good to see you, Mr. Robert and Adline. We just arrived.”
“Welcome to Toronto.”
“Thank you. We came with four guests. So increase the quantity of the breakfast.”
“It is noted, Mrs. Israel.”
Afterward, she walked back to her room to meet her husband, who was happy with how the women took the news. After a few minutes, Ken and Leon were at the dining table while Dora walked to Jessica's suite to assist her. She gave Dora a searching look when she walked into her bedroom and pointed out.
“You must have gone through a lot. I never knew you were once kidnapped.”
Dora smiled and explained.
“There are many things you are yet to know, mother. It was my Platinum Ring which father bought for me from your place that helped them to trace me.”
She furrowed her brows and asked.
“Platinum Ring from my place. When was that?”
“Mother, we will talk later. Let's go and see father and Jeff.”
”It is all right.”
At the Industrial Area.
After the breakfast, they got into the helicopter and headed to the Industrial Area. Leon, who had committed himself by claiming that he had been with them, must keep up to his claim. So, he was unfazed when he got to the ICU and saw Mr. Morris and Jeff lying unconscious with medical gadgets around them. Then, Dr. Williams assured them that there was no much damage to the cartilages. Meanwhile, Jessica was not affected because, they had been cleaned up and there were no visible bruises. Besides, they looked like though they were just asleep.
Afterward, they returned to the reception while Mr. Israel and the doctor spoke in his office.
“I need your advice, Dr. Williams. I wish to move them to our personal hospital. What do you think?”
Now, the doctor, who felt slighted, asked at once.
“Does that mean that you are not satisfied with our services, Mr. Israel? Do you doubt my abilities?”
Now, The International Vice Chairman was expecting that, so, he smiled broadly and assured him.
“Dr. Williams, you got me wrong, I have never doubted your competency. Besides, I am only trying to ensure that the situation is kept away from the members of staff who may be disoriented with such incidents. I hope you got it.”
Now, Dr. Williams smiled and admitted.
“I got it, Mr. Israel.”
“I am happy you do. Besides, you would still be the doctor in charge. The other doctors would work with you.”
“I got it. Thank you for believing in me.”
“You are welcome.”
Now, the family left for the Church Surgical Center after the International Vice Chairman had put a call across to the Archbishop, who assured them that she was available.
Meanwhile, Ahmed was at the underground of the Industrial Area with Ralf to see the suspects. He smiled inwardly after they were introduced to him. Then he inquired in his usual calm but tactful manner
“What are their offenses, if I may ask?”
Now, the suspects could not deign to respond to the question of such an insignificant man, as they were deceived by his lanky nature. The main suspect, Theo, who Mr. Priestley used to mastermind the plot, blurted.
“Who are you to question us?”
Before Ahmed Nura could respond to their insult, Ralf gave him a blinding slap, and he staggered backwards and slumped.
“Let him be. What is the difference between you and them if you take the laws into your hands?”
Ahmed advised the Lieutenant, who stopped at once. Now, the Master minder understood that the man before him was an important man in the organization, and he regretted his action. Then, to make them to confess without coercing them, he declared.
“Who knows, they may repent tomorrow and be useful to the organization.”
When they heard his standpoint, and his harmless look, they were most willing to confess. They provided the details of how the Works Department Manager mobilized some of them in the Security Department within a few minutes to proceed to the island. While they were making their confessions, Mr. Ahmed Nura was nonchalant but at the end, he surprised them.
He brought out his pen camera and replayed their confessions. Then, he mocked.
“I don't know when dogs began to think that they could bark at the lion's den and walk away alive.”
With that, he walked away, leaving them gob smacked. Notwithstanding, the Lieutenant shook his head in astonishment and walked behind him. He had pressured the suspects the previous day to make a statement, but to no avail. Now, they willingly confessed without pressure.
At the Church Surgical Center.
Ken and his family members got to the Archbishop's Office, and she was delighted to see them.
“Good morning, Her Grace. It is our pleasure to see you.”
They greeted simultaneously. Madam Jessica Murray could not believe that the International Vice Chairman was familiar with such personality while she only saw her on the television.
“Good to see you. What about your daughter?”
She asked jovially.
“She had returned to school.”
“I see. I must commend your humility for deeming it fit to seek permission to move your patient to the center, even though that it was donated by you.”
“It is my pleasure, Her Grace.”
“Concerning your request, you are free to move your patients to the Center. I can assure you that the Angels of the Lord are around the premises. No patient had ever left the center without the touch of God.”
