254 I am sorry

"Ok. Let's go." John Smith replied and forwarded towards the hotel where he was staying.

John Smith reached in front of the hotel. A car stopped near them. It was the same car on which Karl and Tonny heck brought to the hospital. John Smith rushed towards the car. Jackson got down from it with Karl and Tonny Heck.

"Are you fine?" John Smith asked worriedly.

"Yes Sir. I am fine ."Jackson replied with a smile.

"Oh Thank God. I was too worried. Ok. Now let's go to the room and take some rest. You all also should sleep early today." John Smith said and accompanied Jackson into the hotel .

David, Tonny Heck and Karl left and checked in a separate hotel. As for precaution, they could not stay together in same hotel, as someone may suspect them. 

"Sir. I am sorry. I could not help you to catch Lucas." Jackson said in sad voice.

John Smith looked at Jackson and smiled.

"It's ok. It is not easy to catch him. You should not be sad for it. What happened there? How did you lost your conscious?"

"Sir, as you left the hotel ,I was searching for you everywhere .I was worried for you. I entered the park to search for you but heard the voice of Lucas ,who was talking with someone over his phone. I went nearer to heard what he was talking about. He was talking to Mr Lee. I tried to call you to inform,but your phone was busy, so I informed Mr David about him.

As I was talking with David, I saw Lucas already got up to left the park. David told me that it would take more than ten minutes to reach there. So I tried to stop Lucas. I wanted to keep him there some time more. So I appeared in front of him and snatched his bag and ran way toward the lake, which was a darker place. As I reached near the lake someone came out from the bush and hit on my head and the snatched the bag from me .After getting the bag, Lucas and the man left the park hurriedly together. He must be Lucas's subordinate. I tried to got up but could not. After some time I lost my conscious." Jackson explained.

"Had they seen your face?" John Smith asked worriedly.

"No sir. .As I was in my mask, he could not identify me, but they did not even try to look at me properly. I think ,they had to go somewhere urgently. So they did not wanted to waste their time on me. They must thought me thief who tried to snatch his bag for money." Jackson said after thinking sometime.

"Ok. Now you should take rest. You have done a lot for me. Thank you for that. Tomorrow morning we will have a very important meeting." John Smith let him sleep and entered his bedroom.

"Mr John Smith .Sorry for delay .I was very busy with some personal works ."Mr Simon ,who was in his mask told .

"It's ok Mr. Simon. You have reached here in time. Thank you for your support. "John Smith replied with a smile.

"Boss. Everyone is here. So we can start the meeting now." David informed John Smith.

John Smith nodded and entered the meeting room with Mr Simon. Everyone took their seat .

"David ,is there any progress in your investigation?" John Smith asked.

"Yes ,boss. I have checked the CCTV footage of the restaurant, which flyer got from Lucas. Lucas had his lunch with a man there. I could not identify the man, but he looked like some officer of government. "David explained.

"What? A officer?"

"Yes, please have a look. "David showed the laptop screen to John Smith .Mr Simon also looked at the screen.

"Yes .You are correct .I know him. He is Mr Derik from foreign ministry."Mr Simon said.

"Oh. So now he is trying to get help from the Government also."John Smith said with thoughtful voice.

"Boss, the man Mr Lee had killed in the hotel was also from same department. The police has released a statement already. Now they are behind Mr Lee. As I think Mr Lee is hiding now somewhere." Karl informed.

"Mr Lee is hiding in the Vast mountain forest. I remembered Lucas mentioned this while he was talking with Mr Lee over phone yesterday."

"I think Lucas will also join Mr Lee in the Vast mountain forest very soon.So we should try to find out them there." David said.

"It is not that easy. Vast mountain forest is not a place, where you can enter that easily. Almost all the underworld gangsters have been keeping their eyes on that forest. If Lucas has already entered the forest, it will not easy for you to go there and do something to him."Mr Simon said thoughtfully.

"But we must get Lucas this time. We must go there somehow." John Smith replied.

"But it is too much risky for you all .I think you should wait until they come out from there. Apart from that the annual meet for the Underworld will be held in the forest this year. It will be held on day after tomorrow. All the leaders of the underworld would be arrive there tomorrow. So ,it is not a good choice for you to go there now."

"But we must go. Although we can not use our whole team here, but the government promised to help us if we need some help." John Smith said with a determined tone.
