Chapter 8 Scarlett entering her role as Cara

Ten days later Scarlett already was half way through her research. She was gathering personal information about Carson, the things which no investigation authority will search to know completely about him that includes information about his nature, his way of dealing things, his likes and his dislikes.

On Monday as soon as she went to her work, she got a call from the chief. "How is your research work going on Scarlett?"

When Scarlett replied positively he began to supply to her more information about Carson. "Ten days ago the complete house of Mr Grover, the managing director of Silicon Mills was burnt after the massacre leaving no clue to us. His wife is absconding and we are not able to reach her. There were around hundred bodies of his men including him brutally murdered. The accident spot seemed to give us a clue of someone with untameable revenge and our first suspect is Carson Campbell. Because, both of them have had friction since a while."

He sighed and continued. "Grover wanted Carson to fund a fertilizer factory near the forest in the outskirts of the city where there is a river and a few tribes are living. He wanted to dump the factory wastes in the river which is truly against Eco-friendly hubs. Also, it would affect the health of the locals. Carson did not finance Grover and also got his license written off by the state. We have got evidence that Grover killed Carson's wife as a discharge of revenge and Carson as a reply killed him and his complete gang of men though no clue is traceable to us."

Scarlett took out the file from the cabinet which had more details of Campbell. "This was a job which needed urgent investigation and I could only trust the most efficient officers. Obviously your name was in the top list. That is how you urgently got transferred from Los Angeles to New York." The chief concluded, giving her the vital information.

"Sir, I am already into the project. As and when I got your mail and transfer order, I was on my role play. I had already made my first appearance in the field by acting as a weak displaced girl who needed his help." The chief played with his eyebrows curiously and Scarlett continued.

"With my study on the target I could make two conclusions. The first is that we cannot conquer Carson Campbell using the state power or authority. He is mighty and powerful. He knows the ins and outs of law and I'm sorry to say not all of our officers are sincere and honest. So going by rule could backfire us. The only way we could vanquish him is by beating him emotionally. The game with heart is what I am going to play with him adapting to the role of a weak displaced girl."

"What you are going to start is very dangerous Scarlett. If he comes to know the truth, Carson Campbell can even kill you. Think before making your decision." The chief cautioned.

"I like taking challenges sir." Scarlett spoke firmly and saluted him.

Cara was the poverty-stricken girl who was serving her sick father, a step mother and drug addict brother who waited for a chance to abuse her.

It wasn't a role play she was doing. She had to actually imbibe herself in the character to make it sound real. She cannot take chances with the dangerous mafia leader. Scarlett, along with her teammates, were serving their fake identities for the last three months to avoid all the risks.
