"Zinu, call Charlie to join me in the meeting room. And you too go there and wait for me."Zinu nodded and left. John directly went to his office and took some papers and entered the meeting room to meet the union leader. Zinu and Charlie were waiting for him. He sat besides Zinu. Karl escorted the Union leaders to the meeting room and about to left, but John stopped him.
"Karl, please join us ." Karl nodded and joined them.
The union leaders wished John. John signalled them to proceed.
"Boss, today we are here with the grievance of the workers a.s.sociation. Boss, after the bomb blast all the workers are feeling insecure about their security in the workplace. Boss, it is not like that we have any doubt on your capability, but yesterday"s incident had shaken everyone"s trust on you. Now n.o.body wants to join their workplace until you would not able to ensure their security. Some workers are very angry. They started to protest against the authority. We somehow managed to suppress the issue. Boss, we are here to inform you of the workers" mental state. Please consider it. " One of the Union leaders said.
John nodded and lost in thought. Everyone present there thought he would be very angry on the leaders, but to their surprise, John was calmer than usual. Everyone waited for John"s reply.
" I don"t want my worker friends to have to face any types of problems. I am sorry that I was unable to protect them properly. But I now ensure you that there would no "next time" of this incident. But I need some time for it. Would you all help me giving me some time to fix all these? "
"Yes. We trust you. We know you will find a way to help the poor people."
"Thank you for your support for me. I need your help to solve the problem."
John discussed for a long time with the Union leaders. John instructed them to divide the workers into some small groups. Each group will monitor their surrounding in rotation basis. They would inform Karl or any other security guards if notice some suspicious activities. They should be given the monitoring duty once in a month. For this extra work, they would be paid. The Union leaders thought for some time and nodded.
"Yes boss, I think the workers would agree to all of your proposals. We will let you know the result of our discussion." They both left the meeting room satisfied.
"Charlie, what do you think? Will the workers agree with my proposals?
" I think yes. We must have to involve everyone to keep an eye on any of the suspicious activities until we completely destroy the enemy. By making a small group of workers will help us. They would become more attentive to their surrounding. Apart from that, they would be able to earn some extra money from this work. And your other proposal is also very practical. "
"But we have to find a permanent solution to this problem. I think we should meet all the managers from various departments. "
"Yes, boss. I think that too. We have to improve our security system, but you should instruct the managers to be cautious, for any suspicious activities."
John instructed Zinu to call a meeting, where all the managers of different departments had to take part. Within ten minutes all the managers gathered in the meeting room.
John discussed the bomb blast matter with everyone and instructed them to be alert for future probable attacks of the enemy. He also instructed them to improve the security system of their departments and think about any new way which could help to secure their departments.
"Today, by evening you all have to recheck the biodata of all the employees under your department. The person involved in the blast of Smith Textile is our employee. All the suspected biodata should be on my table by evening. Meeting adjourned."
Everyone left the meeting room except Karl, Charlie and Zinu. John was sitting there with a serious expression. No one uttered a word. They waited for John to speak something.
"Karl, what about the investigation?"
"Boss, the footage I collected from the factory before the blast, was tempered by someone. I checked it thoroughly, but could not find anything unusual. But as someone must have planted the bomb, so I think that part of the recording is missing."
"Charlie, you and Karl try again and find out the culprit behind it. Zinu I have some work for you. Today after the submission of the biodatas by the managers, you have to go through those and try to find out any suspicious person, who is working under Smith Enterprise. You can take help of
Dolly. "
"Ok."
"Karl, what about the new types of machinery we ordered for all the factories? When will you install them? "
"Boss, we already checked most of them. We can complete the task within two days. Those types of machinery are good to detect any type of bomb."
"Boss, what about the map? Have you got any idea? "Charlie asked suddenly.
" Map? What map? About which map you are talking? "Zinu asked surprised, as she had no idea about it.
John explained everything.
" I think the map is also kept with grandfather"s other a.s.sets. But grandma just couldn"t point it out. "
"Maybe we can help."
"Yes, I am thinking about it. We should search for it again ourselves. Maybe something is left by grandma. Tomorrow is Sunday. So, we can do it tomorrow. "
"Ok. I am ready. " Zinu was excited to hear about the map. She liked these types of things. In her childhood, she always loved to play" treasure hunt". John smiled to see her excitement. She was Squealing like a little child to hear a secret map.
"Boss, do you think this map will help you to destroy Lucas? " Karl"s asked.
"Yes, I think. We can lure him out with the help of this map only. "John replied.
