" This fellow here goes by the name Marcus Kane , and for as long as I've known , he served only one man and was more loyal to him than a hungry dog begging for scraps. Ditch that photo , it will get us nowhere because I'm guessing you probably have his dead body in the Bureau's morgue ," Lora started giving William the information he needed.
" I never told you that he is dead ,so how did you know? " William noted.
" Look , the only reason you would be in possession of that photo is if either the man's dead or just a decoy to lead you on a wild goose chase . Damn I love that phrase , wild goose chase . I wonder how people came up with it. Do you think they set some geese free into the forest and then tried to chase them down but failed ?" Lora's smug look was coming back to her after the small fright William had just given her. As a hardened , well rounded and veteran criminal , mental recovery came quickly for her.
" Buuut , I can tell you the name of the man that he served , he's probably the one that you should be looking for , " Lora added after seeing her side stories would only cost her William's attention.
" Tell me then , who should I be looking for ?" he asked , glad that his idea of relying on Lora's vast criminal underworld experience was finally starting to pay off.
" Neizer . He is like the wind , comes and goes without a trace to follow. You're actually kinda lucky to know someone like me who even knows his real name , " Lora could not resist the urge to impress upon the importance and value of the information she was almost freely giving him. If this was happening out in the wild where she did not have the threat of prison time hanging around her neck like a guillotine ready to fall upon her neck , she would have charged a premium to even consider sharing such intel.
" Neizer Grookwine , I thought he was just a legend , " William racked through his memory , trying to find out where he had heard about that name before.
Lora had not mentioned the second name.
" Wait , you've got to be kidding me. How does a cop like you know anything about Neizer? You clearly have a lot more arsenal than you show to the world . You see the thing about this man is his ability to just vanish , seemingly disappear into thin air.
He is known to only work with the high elite echelons of the world who launder billions in dollars across the globe . I've heard that his price is quite high , but worth it if you want a job well done , " Lora was surprisingly happy to see that William was not clueless on the matter.
Even though she did not tell him then , Lora had actually started wondering whether William had in fact been holding back when he was chasing her down during the past few months leading up to her arrest.
" This Marcus fellow , he and some other accomplices kidnapped a friend of mine. She was working on a high tech computer virus and the pieces of the puzzle finally started to fit when we went through her computer harddrive later and found pass codes for a nuclear weapon's launch. The belief is that this information was somehow intercepted by the computer virus already installed in her PC and downloaded into her computer.This put a high target on her back , and the worst thing is that she probably did not even know it," William continued.
" The only other thing that Neizer likes to play around with apart from money , is high impact military weapons. And nuclear weapons , well I wouldn't put him above those sweet bad boys either. You read the codes , which country are they from ? " Nora was already getting excited and her blood started rushing.
" The Madirya Republic , we have already sent their government a warning that their information systems have been compromised. This Neizer fellow , it's really important that I get my hands on him as quickly as possible . Think Lora , you know almost every bad guy on this planet , who should we ask if we want to nail him?" William pressed on .
" Well , as I never have but will start saying , anything for you William Harper.To get this man , we will need to take a little trip and head on over to Nairobi , " Lora crossed her legs and let her eyes drift off to the ceiling.
