Keaton threw a confused look at him.
"What? Did you see Alford after he had received a call following Brymer's arrest? Since then he is demented. Existing speculations say Aitoúntes are behind the call. If not then it's something, for sure, which had relation with it in some scale." Warner said.
"Did he ever speak to anybody about it?"
"I think Deighan knows all and nobody else. But whatever was the call related to, it's something not under our control. I've heard rumors."
"What if I tell you I know about Aitoúntes more than anybody in this department does? It wasn’t the conversation which scared Mr. Alford but it was the caller who did." Keaton said, even by noticing the driver who had been listening to them. He even wanted the driver to heat them talk.
"How can I believe whatever you just told me right now isn’t a fragment of your fantasy?" Warner got curious in Aitoúntes all of a sudden.
"I don’t think D'Amares is all alone in there. We may face brawl there. An ugly one…so, if I survive tonight then I will tell you." Keaton patted him and spoke like he was vowing, "I will let you know how I have known about the call."
"What if you survive but I don’t?" Warner looked direct in his eyes.
I'll try to find a way if it happens.
Keaton pulled out Kevlar Vest (bullet proof vest) along with a helmet and handed them to Warner, "This time you need these more than anything else." Both could hear chaotic mixture of walkie – talkie sounds and police sirens.

Keaton grabbed his radio, put it in front of his mouth and roared, "Okay…kill the sirens. We've to sneak in the house now… (BEEP) … Unit Two…I want them shut! NOW!"
The one way conversation ended with usual BEEP and the sirens as well. Good…
Keaton continued, "Don’t expect D'Amares to be alone in there. There may be other dozen of men there with loaded weapons. But we must trust out Kevlars and Helmets for safety. Put tear gases and even grenades on standby. You hear me? Put grenades on standby. I want them ready."
What Keaton said next shocked the entire trio of patrolling cars which were following them, "You're supposed to follow us but don’t follow me now. Protocol's procedures are modified now."
"Protocol is to follow you." a guy from Unit Three spoke.
"Screw the old protocol. I posses the authority over this. On the next junction, we shall part away. Change positions but our target will be the same house. We are going to surround the house from all four sides instead of invading from front –"
"Are you crazy?" Warner screamed when he felt pace of car increase and saw the rest of his unit part away as decided earlier.
"We can't lose him like FBI had done last time. We'll meet at the same house. Now change the routes and whoever reaches there first shall inform me before sneaking inside there." Keaton threw the order.
Warner had no good feeling about this change in action just like the rest of three confused armed units.
