We had to release another order to INTERPOL to now take down those illegal shipping companies too. This was done earlier than expected and now the last piece of the puzzle was this lead don himself. He had crossed all limits and he was a danger to the world itself. We wanted nothing but to take him down.
We got to a location where there were some trucks dumping E-Waste and confronted them. They told us that they were ordered to dump this here. We arrested the people involved and just as I was about to arrest one of them, a guy jumped out.
He was a 6 feet tall guy who had a very long flowing beard and had very long hair. He looked like a pirate from the 16th century. He was none other than the lead don himself and he told.
“THIS IS THE LAST REMAINING 9 OF MY GANG, INCLUDING ME IT IS TEN. NOW I AM GOING TO SHOW YOU THE CONSEQUENCE OF MESSING WITH MY GANG SO WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.”
I immediately tried to signal to my INTERPOL team but found that we were all at gun point. He then got into a large crane which was holding a large boulder and told:
“I JUST HATE POLICE OFFICERS. ALWAYS TRYING TO HELP THE CRIMINALS WHILE HURTING THE INNOCENT. NOW JUST WATCH. I AM GOING TO SEAL YOUR FATE WITH THIS STONE. I WILL CRUSH YOU AND YOUR TEAM SO HARD AND FLAT THAT THE SCAVENGERS HERE WILL EAT YOU LIKE ONE JAVARSI APLAM (INDIAN FRIED SNACK)”
I was unsure of whether I would live or not and I just prayed hoping that I sustain nothing more than a few fractures. I had to at least be alive to give a statement and report him if not more. Just as he lowered the crane, he immediately shouted: “IF THERE IS ANYONE WHO WANTS TO CHALLENGE ME WITHOUT GETTING CRUSHED, THEN HERE IS THE CHANCE, SO TRY YOUR LUCK.”
When he tried to unleash the boulder on me, I suddenly saw a short 4 feet tall figure. The figure had red hair and a face that was half human and half animal. He was holding the boulder with just its one hand as if he had extraordinary strength. He just threw the boulder off to the side and screamed.
“I WILL CHALLENGE YOU! WHEN PEOPLE ARE THERE TO SAVE THE FORESTS IS THIS HOW YOU POLLUTE IT? IDIOT FELLOW, COME NOW, IT IS FOR YOU, COME.”
That don screamed in English and told his accomplices “All the 9 of you, leave the officers and now go kick this thing. How dare he insult me.”
The first guy went over with a spike club in his hand only to be tossed like a toy. He went flying against the excavator and broke himself into two pieces.
The second guy and third guy met the same fate.
The fourth guy attempted to pull a knife on the figure only for it to kick him so hard that he went and fell on a rock instantly dying.
The others to tried their best but were killed instantly by him.
The lead don was left so before taking on the lead don, he instructed us officers to wear our ear protection.
Once all of us had our ear protection on, we decided to watch what happened.
He caught the lead don by the neck, lifted the don up and let out an unearthly scream. The don’s eardrums immediately popped and he started bleeding from his ears and started shivering vigorously. He picked the don up and attacked him by throwing him to the ground and smacking the don’s head to the ground multiple times and then kicking him towards me.
He then told me: “Listen officer, take your knife and just put a few cuts on him, let him bleed slowly. He deserves to suffer like anything for all that he had done.”
Just as I obeyed his orders, my cousin came in, he looked at us and asked us if we were all fine. He then looked at the figure and ran towards it to give him a hug.
My cousin exclaimed: “Oh Curupira, thank you so much. Thank you so much for saving our officers and getting rid of this menace.”
Curupira: “Hey, no worries child, pleasure is all mine. You put so much efforts to clean the forests so how could I leave you alone when you were in trouble.”
We were all elated and decided to do the last remaining part of the forest cleanup which was also the last remaining part of the case.
My cousin: “Hey, is there anything left to do?”
Curupira: “Yes, there is a little bit. It is always the people close to you who can hurt you the most. There is this official from the UNODC who was involved in supporting this don. He is a senior official who provided a lot of assistance to this don. You should take him down. Had you taken him down before itself, this don would not have given you so much pain.”
My cousin then told me, all of you take a break if you want, to which we replied: “No, we will come with you”, in unison. We then went into the office and caught the UNODC officer by his collar and told him: “you have played with people’s life all this while. Now it is time for you to play in hell. The UNODC is an organization that protects the world from climate change and saves forests. They also prevent illegal drugs from coming in. You have violated every single principle of the UNODC and have just been a criminal yourself.”
Without giving him a chance to speak we dragged him out of his office and shot him in the head.
The case was finally solved so all of us officers passed the time cracking jokes.
However, all of us were curious as to who that Curupira was. My cousin then told us:
“Curupiras are those creatures that protect the forests from incursions by criminals. They are physically very strong and it is impossible to over power them. They have half human and half animal features and are very helpful to those who protect the forests but a terror to those who damage the forests.”
We should all be grateful to the Curupira for saving our life that day, otherwise what would have happened to us. We were all very elated and thanked the Curupira for saving our life.
