Chapter 819 An Inside Team
?Inside the large White Rose base, one of the field agents was in an office along with his squad. Elijah was bunkered down at his desk and continuously looked around to see if anyone was paying any attention to what he was doing.
He had been searching for a while now on other cases that had turned out like this: those that had been brought in and locked up with next to no evidence.
The issue was, Altereds, the White Rose, the whole thing was a relatively young operation in the grand scheme of things. They had around 70 years of history, so there weren't many cases to look at.
Frustrated by the whole thing, Elijah placed both of his hands by the side of his head and was almost ripping out his hair.
‘This whole thing is clearly corrupt from above. I can try to do some deeper research into who was responsible for submitting the further evidence and appointing the judge, but that would require me to have captain-level access.’
‘I don't even know if I can trust my own captain, though, or he might just tell me to stay out of it, like he did when we found out about NIRV being behind the black substance as well.’
White Rose got multiple cases related to the Black substance, but it seemed like they were stopping those using the substance or had it on hand.
It didn't feel like they were trying to stop it at its source. When speaking to his captain about it, he just said they were compiling evidence so they could take down NIRV in one swoop.
If they tried to bring them in now, they would be the ones that suffered.
‘They make a load of fake evidence on Gary, but they can't do the same for NIRV? The more I look into other cases as well, what I have found are cases that have been thrown out.’
In particular, Elijah found out that a lot of cases involving the tier one gangs were thrown out. However, by far, the cases related to the Phoenix Gang were stopped at the submission stage.
The field agents would bring something in, and then it wouldn't go further than that.
‘This whole thing is making me second-guess the reason why I even joined the White Rose in the first place. Gary, back then when you stood up for those people.’
‘Honestly, what you did was more of something that I wanted to do. I wanted to protect the people who were unable to protect themselves. Yet, as part of White Rose, I'm unable to do that.’
‘You who are part of a gang could do those things. And now, with everything that's happening in Slough, all the chaos that's going on, including the public being hurt.’
‘We've been told to just stand back. Let the filth get rid of the filth, and then we will swoop in at the end for clean-up duty. The feeling makes me sick to my stomach. I'm useless in my position, and I can't even help your friends.’
There was one thing Elijah could do, and he had put in a request for another visit with Gary. He would update him on the situation, but honestly, he wanted to give him some good news before doing so.
As he was typing away and clicked the send button, he stopped for a moment.
‘That's it, If I'm going to leave the White Rose, then I might as well get kicked out for helping Gary!’
Elijah got up from his seat and started to head to the door. Just when his captain was going to ask where he was going, the automatic door slid open, and standing on the other side was a man with an orange scruffy beard.
Elijah recognized him because he was one of the squad captains.
"Ah, you're just the person I'm looking for, hey, Don, do you mind if I take one of your field agents with me? He has information on a case I'm linked with."
Elijah's squad captain Don just waved his hand as if he didn't have a care in the world.
After which Elijah had been brought out, and the two of them stepped into the hallway.
When they did, Elijah noticed that there were two other White Rose members as well, a woman and a man.
'Crap… has someone found out that I've been snooping around, or that I used my favors to go and meet Gary.’
'They might have come to target me now as well. I knew that this might end up like this.'
"You recently had a meeting with one of the Altered prisoners, that goes by the name Gary Dem, right?" Kanu asked.
The palms of Elijah's hands were starting to sweat. They were clearly asking a question that they already knew the answer to, so what was the point of trying to hide it? If he did, it could end up worse for him.
"I did, he was involved in a case that I was working on in the past," Elijah answered.
Kanu looked around before slapping him a couple of times on the back.
"You don't have to be so worried about us. Look, we're on your side?"
Elijah wondered what he meant by the words "his side," in what way, and what about?
"You see, my brother… or I guess you could say a friend of mine, has asked me to help Gary Dem get out of this situation no matter what.”
"And as for these two behind me, well, they believe in justice a little too much and think this entire situation stinks."
Hearing these words, Elijah couldn't quite believe it. A captain, other people in the White Rose were looking into this case as well.
He wasn't the only one. Maybe with the help of others and a captain, things wouldn't be so hard if he wasn't on his own.
"So, we have decided, let's get Gary out of there."
