Chapter 14
Ashra marched ahead with quick steps and fumbled her phone out of the leather jacket she wore. Hardman picked up right away.
âShah, Hynes is on the move. She bought a pair of new shoes on the market and your super agents missed it. Now sheâs moving southwards through Sorhakhutte Road towards ⦠what is it called?â he asked someone.
Chetri replied. âRing Road near the Bhatbhateni supermarket. Heading to Baniyatar neighborhoodâ
âYou heard him?â Hardman asked.
âSheâs heading to the bus station, Gongabu Bus Park,â Ashra said with certainty.
âYes, someone tipped her off and sheâs leaving town,â Hardman said, his voice unusually tense.
âSir, Iâm five minutes away from Gongabu neighborhood. I can intercept her,â she said, ignoring the colorfully-dressed people passing her along the crowded road and mentally prepared a route through the smaller streets and alleys to get there.
âYou armed?â
âNo, sir. Didnât get a service pistol yet. Iâll get her anyway.â She looked at Thomas as Hardman sighed.
âYouâre with Pierce?â he asked.
âYes, heâs right in front of me.â
âHeâs got a gunâtell him to hand it to you, then get her. Sheâs our only lead to Trout. Donât let her get away again.â
âGot it. Have Chetri shall call me in sixty seconds.â Ashra hung up, pulled her earpods out, and connected their cable to her phone. Then she looked at Thomas. âGive me your gun.â
Thomas looked at her with surprise. The fact that he carried a weapon wasnât fully in line with his story of despising violence ⦠or not being CIA. Clearly, she hadnât been the only one with more than one motive for the date.
He pulled his backpack off his back, reached inside, and withdrew an automatic pistol. He handed it to Ashra, holding it by the barrel. It seemed clumsy, not like a man used to holding a gun, but she was no longer sure if it all wasnât just an act. It was an M9âthe standard pistol of the US military. She slipped it into her belt.
âYou go straight back to headquarters.â
âI can help, Ashraââ
âYouâre wounded. Go back, Iâve got this,â she only replied and began to move. Her phone buzzed and she answered immediately.
âSheâs moving fast. Where are you?â Chetri asked.
âPassing Tokha Street in a minute,â Ashra said. âGet ready to give me her location.â
âOkay, weâre tracking her phone since she ditched the shoes, so it will be only a rough estimate.â
âGot it.â
Ashra began to sprint.
****
Tokha Street stretched out before her like a maze of obstacles, its narrow confines teeming with a chaotic swirl of humanity. Dodging and weaving through the crowds, Ashra moved with the agility of a hunted animal, her heart pounding in her chest as she fought to keep up the pace.
The air was thick with the scent of spices and incense, mingling with the cacophony of voices and the distant hum of traffic. Above her, colorful prayer flags fluttered in the breeze, their vibrant hues a stark contrast to the muted tones of the surrounding buildings.
With each step, the urgency become more oppressive, driving Ashra forward.
