BESLA excerpts

BESLA 

and the woman with the anonymous husband

By Serge Dumoulin

“Sorry friend, but I need to talk. This murder puts me in a terrible stalemate and I'm afraid of it. ”
"What are you talking about again?"
"I offer you a coffee and I offer you a riddle to solve with me… if you are interested?"
“And how am I. I have dreamed of this day all my life. ” "What's your name first?"
“My name is Alias.” “No I mean your real name… Alias! Do you take me for an idiot? ”
“No, you're the idiot! Alias is my real name. I swear. "
Oh my God, Alias and Neophyte! … The author smiles!
"So what about your riddle as you say?" Alias asks.
"Well imagine if by chance I had the engineer's car that journalists talk about so much in my trailer, what would you say?"
"What? You want me to believe you have that car with you… now, here … in this parking lot? ”

“My name is Neo for the intimate, Neophyte for the craziest. And I confess that I was not sure about this adventure but it pays me very well and it was for me experience on tap. Having known the importance of this vehicle, I would have passed my turn. ”
"Do you really have this car with you?" comes alive Alias.
“I assure you that in my trailer is what they're all looking for. I can even tell you its color and that this car rolls on land and fly up in the air. The engineer even offered me to try it in Montreal mentioning the comfort it offers and its lightning speed. And that she flies like a charm, isn't that mind-boggling? ”
“Wow man! What a surprise to meet the man who will be the most famous on the planet in a few days. ”
“So what are we doing Neo? Are we calling the police? ”
“I have to think about letting the night give us advice. Tomorrow morning a decision will be made. ”
“But it is this evening that we must act Neo, sorry but it is urgent to protect you my friend. This giant as they say on TV, if he is able to kill for a briefcase he also can kill for the car. So what do you think Neo? ”
“Yeah but… nobody knows I have this car.” "Attention Neo" exclaims Alias.
“What was in that briefcase? Maybe your company name for transporting this vehicle. Possibly your phone too, who knows? ”
“The engineer told me no one knew about this car transport in Canada. And moreover, that he would mention my passage to customs only six hours before my arrival. So I don't know. What to do?"
“The young man with red-haired on bicycle who saw three letters on the license plate of the fleeing vehicle, maybe the police will find out who owns this vehicle” encourages Alias.
Neophyte feels caught between the police and criminals. Without a doubt, there is not only one man to share this adventure. Competitor companies are obviously on lookout for factors associated with illicit stories about Besla. A government would also have an interest in getting involved. Gasoline being in danger of deficits versus electricity, everyone wants their share. Criminal organizations are clearly involved. These people are called by many different names, but can they be involved until murdering?
“I’ll get in touch with the police very early tomorrow morning. I wonder if I should seek protection immediately. ”
“If I were involved like you are Neo,” Alias argues, “I would follow all possible news on TV closely. On the other hand, I would get involved with the police immediately. ”
“Ah! I'm tired of my day, I don't want to spend the night awake because of this damn vehicle. ”…
“You soften up Neophyte. Better hang on Buddy with very solid shoes, anchored like the vehicle in your trailer. From what you told me about the engineer, he was a very solid and classy man. So you must do the same. ”… Alias submits to the riddle.
“A transponder in the vehicle, hopefully the thief colossus doesn't have a transponder indicator light in the briefcase. I must call the cops immediately and bequeath Besla to them, ”concludes Neo.
“If this man finds me, I am a dead man and you too Alias. So no more joking, I call immediately. ”
“Good evening, my name is Neophyte and I am the carrier of the engineer's vehicle which was attacked at his home thisafternoon. I am in danger and ask for protection. How can I let you know where I am without being noticed? ”
“Please call us by public phone. Very important.”
“Don't talk to anyone. Look innocent and don't hide behind a cap that is pulled over your eyes too much. Do not turn around while walking. Join a phone booth. Do not run. And there you can talk. If a woman speaks to you, don't insist on charming her, you don't have time. Understood? These people don't bite the dust. They have experience depending on the crime committed. They are not amateurs believe me. Go now. No interruption in your approach. ”
“Go Neophyte go” begged Alias. "Don't mind me, go now."
The novice driver swells his chest and applies himself to walking straight at a relaxed pace. He goes to the telephone booth in the relay restaurant. He reports the police number. An individual knocks at the door and is in a hurry to telephone.
“Fuck you elsewhere” Very confident neophyte. He gives the address to the police and reports that he will be in his truck with a friend who is also involved now.
“Excellent, get back to your truck at the same pace,” insists the policeman. “Don't get caught up in a conversation other than onefrom regular truck driver. Go for it. We'll be there in a few moments. We know where you are now. Be careful but natural. Goodbye!" Neophyte feels fear emerging in him but at the same time feels compassion for the engineer. Worthily, he takes a certain vengeance on the murderer. For a car, kill? Take a man's life, why? Jealousy, envy, self-centeredness, financial interests, or gaining the power of energy, he told himself. The police now have a reason to act and a motive for the crime. Which? It is a question of determining which of them is more important. On the way to join Neophyte, a trailer truck collides with one of the police trucks. Willingly hit the truck with the aim of injuring and extracting information from them. Where is the truck hiding this car? So that means they don't know where Besla is yet. Shootout between the occupants of the bandit’s truck and the cops, bullets are flying everywhere.
Cops end up capturing one of them with a gunshot wound in the leg. “Well done told the captain. We're going to get that one talking. ” The rest of the team, two more trucks drive to their destination. Neophyte sees them in the courtyard. He doesn't come out just in case. Trucks are approaching.
Neophyte had given his truck number during the call.

“Good evening sir, the police here have no fear,” at the door of Neo's truck. “We are here now. Tell your friend to show off if he's with you. ” Alias shows his face at the window.
“Okay, you can open your doors. We are in control. ” Neophyte and Alias slowly get off the truck.
“What are they going to do with my truck and Besla now?” addressing Alias with concern.
Neo questions. “Will you escort me on my journey?” he asks the police. "How are we going to do this? I have to take this car to its destination gentlemen. An important man is waiting for me in Montreal. ”
“Hush, Hush, Mr. Trucker” said the captain.
“We will take good care of you. Do you want to go to the hospital? " Alias exclaims “no thanks and neither does my friend. The hospital is not a safe place, captain. "
"You watch too many movies about criminals Sir."
“Alright gentlemen. We will take care of your truck and its cargo. ”
“Be very delicate with this cargo guys,” warns Neophyte.
“You might regret your actions if there was any damage to this car, understand? The engineer let me know how much this machine was protected by law and his lawyer. So you carry it and that's it. And above all put it in a safe place. And hey! Watch out for the hitching of my truck. It is also new. ”
“Don't worry Sir, we are pros. Great care will be applied to the merchandise and your truck. Okay with you?"
“Very good captain.” " And what about us?” Said Alias.
"You come with us. We want to know everything about this transport. Your destination, route, time of travel, whose to deliverand where. Anything that can guide us to a lead to find this engineer killer. "
"So he's dead?" Neophyte asks.
“Not yet gentlemen but not very strong. We must expect everything. ”
"Oh shit! I wanted to try this car! ” cries out Alias. … "Idiot!" Neophyte qualifies him.
“Four of my best agents will be getting into your truck with you two. We will follow you to your destination. My agents will explain the procedure to you and where we’re going. Or, if you don't want to drive, we'll do it ourselves. I don't want you to be hurt… So that's what we'll do. "
“You both get into the van with me. It will be safer. Let's go guys. ”

They set off, heading for a room specially designed for vehicle searches and repairs. On the way, without a hitch, they get to their destination safe and sound. The truck enters the enclosure. Neophyte sweeps his gaze away from the police facility. Impressive; special tools, cleanliness as if no one had ever worked there.
“Here is captain, the investigation is now underway” starts Neophyte “and it is not in my interest to interfere. You know your job! ” The captain looked away and returned his eyes at Neo, as if a whole other man was coming back alert and threatening if another word was heard.
“We take this adventure very seriously Mr. Trucker. Do not mistake yourself. Before the United Nations week, it is an understatement to say that this investigation is timely.” The captain clenched his fist, "all that's left is to find evidencegentlemen" addressing his team.
“We do not know if these two curled up are not in the game. So get to work. ”
Alias withdrew dragging Neophyte with him by the arm.
“Maybe it's time to fully focus on our own security. Do you have a good lawyer? ”
“Of course and the one from the engineer too. He gave it to me before I left. ”
“Then we have to warn him,” Alias whispers.
“I have a strong impression that we will have an austere life in the following weeks my dear Alias.”

Wow Neo, look at what's coming.” "Oh oh! Surprise!"
“Gentlemen truckers?” she asks. “O… yeah miss!”
“You come with me and right now.”
“A feeling of protection springs up in me Neo but by her beauty and her allure, it is beyond her functions and her duty.
Much too pretty! It is not honest to tease us like this. We are Truckers, not priests! Have you seen this animal of beauty Neo? … Canon!”
“Yeah, but maybe it's tactics.”
“Tactical or not, the way she sways her hips I'm not going anywhere anymore. I stay right here."
"No, come on, she's asking us to follow her."
“Yeah darling, I follow you to heaven. She has a card in her hand. She seems to be attached to it, ”remarks Alias.

“Yeah you're right. She wants to discover Canada with me. Oh yes baby, my pleasure! ” gets excited Neophyte. Both outside their sphere; "But she seems to find this card a threat to the way she treats it with her hands." She glared at Neophyte as if he were the killer.
“She must be part of the high security this diamond woman. Have you seen this ring on her finger Neo? This represents a high step that she’s acquired in the Federal Police. ”
She heads them to an office at the end of a hallway. She plays piano with her fingers on the wall while walking with a relaxed pace. She uses all her strengths to give them confidence. Neophyte, not accustomed to this kind of adventure, embarks on the strategy of the tigress. Alias him, appeals to his indulgence.
“I introduce myself gentlemen. Geneviève Coldbright, federal agent who has served my country for ten years. ”
“Cannon! Miss Coldbright ”Alias whispers.
“When a major event occurs, we are called. Right now, I have a map in my hand and you'll tell me where you were going. "
“Woh woh! Miss Coldbright, I met this man just a few hours ago. We communicated in a truck stop by pure chance. So my involvement is much less valuable than you might imagine. ”
“Sir… Alias… You were there when we found you so you are involved in this adventure. Sorry, but that’s it! ” with a little horny smile she attracks men like a magnet.
“It's true Miss Coldbright that we hardly know each other. So if Alias wants to leave us it will be no hard feelings. ” Confirms Neo.
“It is absolutely out of question gentlemen. Then I will question you one by one. But for now I want to know on this map where you were going and where the delivery was supposed to take place?”
Neophyte approaches the young lady and charms her by smiling at her.
“Canada” he said. "The delivery; Congress Palace, Montreal for a special exhibition edition. Electric cars and this one was the star.”
“Well, what about the engineer?” she asks caressing her neck just like if she’s tired and ready to go to bed!
“He’ll come and join me in Montreal” completes Neophyte. “This man seems awesome to me Miss Coldbright.”
“Do you know if he had any enemies in the electric car business?”
“Of course he did. Come on, this man was the creator of a revolution. Electricity versus Oil so what do you think? Certainly he had enemies! »
« Yeah! » Confirms Alias. “Obviously! "
“Don't have any illusions, this man was in the target of every petroleum related industry.”
“Did he mention any names to you or facts relating to the motive for example. ”
"The reason?" Alias said. “It is the simplest motive. The car, the enemy wants to burn it or seize it and steal the patent. You know, rights and all that… ”
“Do you know if this engineer was in cahoots with the government? Perhaps subsidies or other products from our dear President were offered to him? ”
"Sorry Miss Coldbright, I am not sleeping in the Oval office" ardently retorts Neophyte.
“You must have this information” Alias redirects. He can't take it anymore. 

"Are you having dinner tonight miss?" Besla
