Chapter 23 - BigJo

She felt a sharp surface on her stomach that made her quickly jump out of his embrace with a curious look on her face. It was all she needed she had been looking for a way to disengage from the embrace without offending him.

"What is that? She asked looking at his hand to see him holding two used bullets in his hands.

"I know you want to ask me about why people are trying to kill me and who they are but I really don't know. These are the bullets that were shot into this room. You can start from here " He said handing it over to her.

"So he already knew that were the questions on her mind? " she asked herself as she collected the bullet from him. She was going to contact for him to make inquiries about the bullet was her initial plan until she felt a familiar feeling on the used bullet.

She took a close look at it to discover it was really familiar. She has seen this same bullet in an old case.

"What? Do you recognize them? Pedro asked looking at her curiously.

"Yes I do, did you say you work for BigJo? Haley asked returning a question to him.

"Yes"

Haley quickly rushed to her laptop again. She scrolled down to a folder and opened it. There it was on her laptop. The same picture was right there befor her.

She felt a tall figure hovering her, without looking back she knew it was Pedro having a look at her close case file.

"I don't understand, why do you have that bullet on your phone. Is it possible they came for you and not for me? "He asked looking confused.

That question from Pedro threw her off balance for a while because he could be right. Althought it has been over two months she close that case but she knew there was no forgetting when it comes to issues like this.

"It is possible they are after me and could be you too" she replied turning to look at him.

"Who? "Pedro asked without an atom of fear in his eyes.

"BigJo" Haley replied knowing he would not believe her.

"BigJo? How is that possible. BigJo is a security company. They hired me to secure people and not to kill me how can you say they try to kill me? Pedro asked with unbelief in his eyes.

Haley expected it so she took her time to explain things for him.

"You see this bullet? It was made by Mobolis bulletz, a company that makes guns and bullets in Waziri town. There weapons are usually expensive so only very few people can afford them. Even the government of Blackpool can't afford it. There only buyer in the whole of Blackpool is BigJo. This was the same bullet use to kill the chief judge some eight months ago. After frustrating efforts for four months I was able to find out BigJo are the ones using such bullets in the whole of Blackpool. But how do I prove that a security company is responsible for the death of the chief judge. That was where I was faced with a big issue on my hand. They argued in court that anyone with access to those bullets can come in from outside the town to kill the chief judge. Together with their many awards for the security of many important people in the society stood for them. I lost but I wasn't satisfied. I know something was wrong but I could not place it.

"What are you trying to say? Pedro asked looking at her curiously.

"I am saying BigJo is a two faced company" Haley replied with a lot of determination in her voice.
