His Ruthless Desire novel Chapter 27

Taimur

"Haris did you get the list ready?" Taimur asked as soon as he entered Haris's cabin.

"Yeah you got it, would you like me to mail it?" Haris asked

"No, not now, first we need to deal with those bloody murderers. I won't rest till Ahmed's death is avenged", He said looking at the folder Haris had handed him.

"Yeah we have traced them, they are 50 miles from the capital in a small cabin. And they are being watched", Haris replied as he pointed to the red spot on the screen with a map.

"How many? Taimur asked.

"7 most probably 8", Haris replied.

"Get me, Connery, on the line", he said as he watched the images shift on the screen.

"Listen, I have warned you to let me handle this my way, but because of your carelessness, my friend is dead. And if as much as a hair is harmed of the persons related to me, I am coming for you" Taimur hissed as soon as the line was connected.

"I am sorry for what happened today, I didn't expect them to retaliate in this way", Connery said in a guilty tone.

"Do you really?, I had warned you regarding the Interpol spy. But instead of negotiating with them, you decided to go on your own. And now I have the Interpol, RRH, and God knows who else wanting to murder me", Taimur snapped at him.

"I have spoken to the President, he is holding talks with the Heads of the Government of other countries involved. I will need the list to act fast", Connery said.

"You will get the list when I have taken care of the killers of my friend", Taimur said and was about to hang up when Connery said.

"Taimur please I understand what you are going through, but please I need the list", Connery pleaded.

"Do you?, I risked it all for you. Now my life, my reputation and my country are at stake. The woman I love thinks I am some mafia, murdering people in cold blood", Taimur snarled at Connery.

"I am really sorry Taimur but I am trying my best to make everything alright. Please the list", Connery was getting desperate. He needed the list without it the President won't be able to do anything.

"I will ask Haris to mail it to you", Taimur said as he hung up.

Riyadh was looking at him with astonishment. Then he looked at Haris, from the expression on His face he understood Haris knew everything.

"What's going on here?", Riyadh asked.

"Riyadh I need you to go and take care of the arrangements of the funeral. I have spoken with the King. Ahmed is getting a state funeral", Taimur completely ignored his question.

Riyadh knew better not to ask anything if he was not in the mood to answer. Riyadh kept staring at Taimur's face for a few minutes and then turned and left the room.

"Do I mail it now?" Haris asked, looking at Taimur who was in deep thought.

It had all started two years ago when the Director of the CIA had approached Taimur. Taimur was in the US at that time. He had received a call from an unknown man asking him to meet.

Taimur had ignored the calls, he knew they were just trouble. Until one day when he came to his apartment after a business dinner and a man was sitting in his living room smoking a cigar.

"Sorry for coming announced Mr.Jahaan but I know after hearing me out you won't mind my unwelcome visit", The man said as he blew out the smoke from his nostrils.

"Why are you here", Taimur was startled to see him. But he tried to keep a calm composure.

"Take a seat Mr. Jahaan we have a lot to discuss. My assistant has been trying to set up a meeting with you for the last few days, but I am afraid you didn't want to spare time for our little rendezvous. So I thought it would be better if I met you without an appointment ", The man replied.

" You are George Connery, the Director of the CIA I know you", Taimur said as he remembered the face of the man sitting in front of him.

"You will be a delight to work with", Connery said as he forwarded a folder towards Taimur. Taimur opened the folder and it contained many documents. Some, where the excerpts from telephone conversation dated 4 decades ago, between the then American President and his Grandfather Mohammad Al Jahaan.

He skimmed through the pages and looked at Connery in disbelief, who was looking at him with a poker face.

" These must be fake", He said to Connery.

"I am afraid of Mr.Jahan but this is only the truth. Your Grandfather is the only man on record, who was approached by the Red Right Hand. At that time the Arab world was not as developed as it is now. Your late Grandfather contacted the then President of the United States of America"

He had heard about the RRH but he thought it was the work of someone's imagination and that it didn't exist in reality.

His father was not even married at the time his grandfather died. Taimur had always seen him in photographs. But every one in his family used to say that Taimur resembled him both in likeness and disposition.

One of the reasons King Waleed was so fond of Taimur was his resemblance to his late father. Did they only have similar personalities or were their destinies similar?

Taimur wanted to share this news with his family but Connery had warned him to keep it to himself. It was not easy for Taimur to keep such crucial information from his family.

And as Connery had predicted, Taimur was approached by the RRH after 10 months of their meeting. He was given the same choice of death or RRH member.

Taimur had accepted their offer and had contacted Connery. But this time Connery made sure that only the President of the United States was in the loop and no one else other than Taimur.

They had come very close to luring the members of the RRH to meet in Azmaayir for the meeting of the decade. But unfortunately, the Interpol had started sniffing for information on RRH.

One of their operatives had even found out Taimur was involved with them. The news started circulating in the intelligence cycle of the countries and had reached the RRH that Taimur was suspected to be involved with them.

The RRH members had canceled their visit to Azmaayir and were plotting to kill Taimur.

The members of RRH never met each other directly, they had a very well organized network for their operations. It was only at the end of the decade that the members met.

Taimur and Haris were successful to get a list of the people who had applied for the visa. And have booked their tickets to Azmaayir near to the date of the meetings.

They had run the names of each of the people involved in the system till their list was cut down to Business tycoons, Ministers Celebrities, and few Head of States of third world nations.

The list had shocked them both, they didn't expect so many people to be involved with the RRH.

Taimur had sent the list to Connery hoping they would all be arrested before anyone found out the arrangement between Taimur and the United States.

But first, he had to avenge Mohammad Al Jahaan and Ahmed, they had given their life and Taimur swore he would bring down RRH for messing with the Al Jahaan.
