Daniel drove into his designated parking space and angrily alighted the car, slamming the door shut furiously.
"Good morning sir." A young man dressed in suit greeted.
"Look at the time you are resuming for the day." Daniel replied angrily.
"Sorry sir." The young man greeted.
"Sorry for yourself. Human resource department right?" Daniel asked without stopping or looking back.
The front door slid open and Daniel walked.
"Daniel, I want that lady out of this place today." The reason behind his anger surfaced.
Adeola ran after Daniel in anger.
"Good morning sir." The receptionists on the ground floor greeted.
"Yeah, thank you." He replied as he hurriedly walked into the elevator. As he made to get the door shut, Adeola walked in.
"Why are you doing this?" Daniel asked moments later as the elevator took off.
"Doing what?"
"What joy do you derive in embarrassing me?" Daniel asked.
Adeola gave him a confused stare.
"You subject me to series of embarrassment at home and now you are bringing it to my workplace. What do you think the workers would say? Did you ever consider your dad, what will he say?" Daniel asked and Adeola looked away instantly.
It was obvious she was being urged to make certain moves by certain people who either want their marriage dead or Daniel sacked from work.
"Ade, talk to me." Daniel urged when he realised that his wife doesn't look like one who would be talking anytime soon. "Answer my question."
Guilt washed over Adeola that moment and the truth hit her for the first time. According to the Yoruba culture which she understood perfectly, a married woman who concieve owns her husband, and the one who fails too is just a ceremonial wife. Adeola knew she had no moral justification to probe Daniel of his whereabout, afterall, he started cheating when it became obvious that she can not have a child. A problem she caused as a result of an abortion she did while in the university. Even though Daniel knew nothing about all these, his decision to cheat and womanize could as well be linked to the problems. Despite knowing the truth and knowing what to do about it, Adeola was far from caring that moment.
"What do you think Dad would think if he gets to know how you have been sleeping with other staffs?" She finally asked.
The elevator came to a stop on the third floor and two new people walked in.
"Good morning Sir." They greeted.
"Morning." Daniel replied. And on getting to the fourth floor, the elevator stopped for a second time and the two men walked out and Magaret walked in.
Daniel could feel Adeola stiffen as Magaret walked in and the same thing with Magaret. Even though Magaret shook off every fear in her as she carried herself highly and 'cat-walked' into the elevator while Adeola got herself under control late.
"Good morning sir." She greeted Daniel formally, in a business-like manner.
Daniel couldn't tell the last time Magaret spoke to him that way outside official duties. She always refer to him as 'baby' or 'Dan.'
Adeola was mad as a voice was urging her to attack the lady who just walked in, but a more friendly voice was telling her to consider the size of the lady before making a move, to avoid getting crushed inside the elevator where no one would hear her scream.
GODSON GROUP headquarters was built in such a way that even a first timer could walk his way round every department without having any problem.
The ground floor comprises the restaurant which occupies about ten percent of the total space. The plastic making company occupies about sixty percent of the total land space. While the textile making company occupies the remaining thirty percent space. Other industrial related departments in the company have offices elsewhere, basically the food and drink company, the recently launched cement production company.
The second floor comprises of the offices of the the textile industry workers and the cement company staffs. On the third floor was the plastic company staffs, while the food and drink staffs have their office outside Lagos where the factory is located. The fourth floor comprises of the administrative offices who oversees the affairs of other industries. The administrative departments included, the finance, human relations, public relations, the board offices to mention a few. While the top floor which was the fifth floor has just two office space, the Chief Executive officer's office(Adeola's father) and the Managing director's office(Daniel) and the rest of the fifth floor was made up of conference rooms and suites.
Adeola seeing Magaret walk into the elevator could only mean one thing, she was headed to Daniel's office, but with her presence, her(Magaret) plans seemed foiled.
"Where are you headed this early morning?" Daniel asked, even though he knew she could be headed to no other place except his office.
"Your office actually, but I can see you are not available." Magaret explained.
"Oh yes! He is not available cos I don't know what you are looking for this early morning." Adeola cuts in. "To resume where you left off yesterday? You dirty old h*g."
"I wasn't talking to you." Magaret said.
"Whatever."
"So, mind your business or I teach you to mind it." Magaret warned.
"She is my wife." Daniel reminded.
"So?" Magaret asked with brows raised.
"Don't talk to her anyhow. She is your boss' wife and the CEO's daughter."
The elevator came to a halt and Adeola strolled out into the open, which was the hallway dividing The General Manager's secretary's office and the CEO's secretary's office. And behind those two offices were the offices of the General Manager and the CEO.
"Halima!" Adeola called.
Immediately, a twenty five year old fair complexioned lady walked in through the hallway.
"Good morning ma. Good morning sir." she greeted respectfully. "Mag." She greeted her predecessor whom she replaced as Daniel's secretary with a wink.
"I want an appointment termination letter filed and given to Magaret." Adeola instructed.
"This isn't happening, what happened to existing protocol? You are not even a member of the company's board of directors. I am the chairman of the board of directors. The board approves every appointment and termination." Daniel replied.
"Logically, there are veto powers around here. You as the Managing Director can give orders without regard to the board. I am your wife, and my dad owns this company. The company is my inheritance, and everyone here works for me." Adeola explained like she always does and Daniel instantly lost every strength he has to argue with her.
"Ade, you are disrespecting me. I am your husband."
"What disrespect could be greater than you having sex with your employees inside your office?" Adeola attacked. "Halima, go and file the letter."
"But ma...." Halima was saying.
"No buts. Do as I say." Adeola replied vernomously.
Halima dragged her feet towards her office.
"Don't file a single letter. You can as well file two. One for you and the other for yourself." Daniel said with face hardened. "Make it three. I think I am no longer needed here." He threw his last card at preventing Magaret from getting sacked, and with his heart filled with prayers, he walked away leaving a bewildered and defeated Adeola in the midst of two eagle eyed secretaries.

Tina's mind was filled with questions as she sped back to work after dropping Chris at her parent's house. The questions ranging from, 'Is Chris save where he currently is?' 'Will he be adequately prepared for his upcoming exam?' Because when it comes to pampering a child, her parents are the best at it. Even though Chris is not the grandson they wanted when she first had him, due to the circumstances surrounding his birth, but over the years, the boy has grown to become the apple of their eyes. Especially with his grades at school. She remembered how her father bought him a video game rated 12+ when Chris was still nine years old because he came top of the class.
She knew Chris can be very manipulative and he could spend those two weeks without opening his books.
"His safety is more important than his exam. Only a safe student can sit an exam." She concluded as she brought the car to a halt immediately the traffic light turned red.
Considering Christopher's safety, even though Lekki being an highbrow area in Lagos where majority of the richmen lived, including a lot of celebrities. A boy of Chris' age could loose focus at mere seeing the flashy lifestyles the celebrities lived. And be it as it may, a very popular Nigerian accress lived in the compound next to her parent's duplex, while the pop prince of Africa, a popular musician who was often said to be the modern day Fela Anikulapo Kuti lived directly opposite her parent's house. Even though the houses are heavily guarded by fierce looking dogs and body guards, with high wired walls, limiting Chris' chances of seeing what is going on in the compounds. That brought relieve to her face. But when a thirteen year old boy keeps seeing a twenty two year old schol drop out driving a twenty million naira worth of car while a graduate who passed with top marks is without a bicycle and could hardly feed himself, he could be tempted to pay little or no attention to his education.
"Madam move na, abi you don blind?" An angry motorist shouted. It was then she realised that a lot of cars were behind her while the traffic light had turned green. She angrily stepped on the gas and sped on.
"Yesterday, I was yelled at by road users, today again. Only God knows what I am in for tomorrow. Maybe I need a driver." She thought as her eyes scanned the road as she trafficated to the right just in time when a black Range rover joined the main road and overtook her.
Even in her dreams, she would recognize the Range rover. Aside the plate number which she knew off hand, she remembered driving Clara to the port to sign all necessary papers after the car was sent to her from the United states over a year ago.
Instantly she followed the Range Rover.

"I'll be back"

CHAPTER 15
Desperate times calls for desperate measures which left General John-Paul running to a former director of FBI and N.A.T.U at different times for help. Even though as a seasoned military man and the General officer commanding the Ipaja military barracks, one would begging to wonder why the only person he could seek help from was a civilian, in person of Agent Andrew.
A popular saying which says, "when you dine with the devil and his army, he(the devil) becomes the next best thing." Four years ago when he was approached by Danny Lovato and wooed to join his team, so as to be his eyes and nose in the military, and most importantly, providing firearms as well as man power if needs be. General John-Paul accepted Danny Lovato's offer because he felt he would be making monetary gains, even though it felt like it at first, but fast forward to three years later, he was deep into the system with Lovato that he couldn't bow out. Even though, the bowing out requires him returning all he gained during his romance with the Lovato Armies. And according to Danny Lovato, any member of his team who felt it was time to move on from being a terrorist would be considered retiring, hence, he must put one of his children or wife in the army. Meaning, even as a 'retired' Lovato army, you would be doing yourself a great disservice by reporting to the authorities, because one way or the other, a member of your family is now in the system.
As part of military training, fear and pressure are two important factors that a military officer must do away with in any situation, but General John-Paul as a worshipper of the devil(Lovato) he had underrated his might as a millitary officer, his powers and of course his advantage over Danny Lovato, hence the reason he was dancing to Lovato's tune.
Agent Andrew, an experienced investigator and field operator who over the years has served in various positions ranging from a mere escort when her was with the State security service up to the top job in the FBI and N.A.T.U.
The falling out between the Nigeria's president and the Egyptian president led to a cold war, which resulted in the deportation several Nigerian from Egypt and while the Nigerian government couldn't hit back at the Egyptians in the same stead as there were not much Egyptians in Nigeria. The Nigerian government cancelled and called off all diplomatic relation with the Pharaos, and the Nigerian army's involvement during the Mubarak's power tussle with the Egyptian opposition government which led to Mubarak relinquishing power and the opposition government, but a coup staged by the Mubarak's loyalist two years later brought them back to power, even though their boss has been tried and jailed at the International criminal court. And even though the then Nigerian president's tenure was over, the Egyptian government still found it hard to come to terms with the present president, even though no one knew the Egyptian government was behind the terror attacks on Nigerians.
The emergence of Danny Lovato's army four years ago was met with stiff resistance by the Nigerian security agencies at all levels. While the FBI worked tirelessly at identifying the culprits due to their numerous investigations. The N.A.T.U handled the extradition of the culprits, while the Nigerian Army, the Navy and the Joint task force set to fight terror handled the aspect of launching attacks against every suspected terror gathering. Nigeria seemed to be winning the war, until General John-Paul was bought by Lovato which led to a decline in the military's willingness to fight. Months later, Andrew(the then N.A.T.U director) received the worst news of his wife, three children and his mother's abduction. But the government unwillingness to help him made him accept the outrageous offer Danny Lovato tabled. Much to the chagrin of everybody, Andrew agreed to meet Danny Lovato and together they flew to Australia in Lovato's plane where they strucked a deal, and before they returned to the shores of the Largest country in West Africa, his family were allowed to go, but he was injected with a substance which literally paralysed his brain. This resulted in his laying off for three months, during which Agent Collins was brought into N.A.T.U to lead on interim basis. Andrew's dialogue with Lovato didn't go down with a lot of people, including his fellow N.A.T.U colleagues. On his return back to work, a vote of no confidence was passed and Andrew was sacked. Andrew in bitterness seeked help with Lovato whom he maintained contact with and he was accepted into the team. A year later, Andrew was on course to taking a pound of flesh off the President of the Federal republic of Nigeria who sacked him from his job, the minister of Defence who recommended Collins for the position of Director on Interim capacity which led to his sack and of course, the lady whose report of the two leaders(Collins & Andrew) gingered the government into making
the decision that led to the ousting of Andrew.
"Are you sure this would work?" General Paul asked for the upteenth time as they carefully listened on the conversation between Clara and a certain guy.
"Am very sure." Andrew replied. "Clara is good at what she does." He added.
"I hope she pulled this off." General Paul prayed.
"Be rest assured. Tina is a very inquisitive person and seeing Clara's car would make her want to follow and know who is in the car. And following would lure her into our hands." Andrew explained.
"I can only hope. I don't know how good your boys her, neither do I know how inquisitive Tina is."

Mark walked into his new office inside the FBI which he was expected to share with other field operatives and investigators.
His ringing phone caught his attention as he made to sit down. He lazily stretched his hand to answer the call.
"Yes?" He said.
"Clara on the line, I'll like to speak with Lovato." The sweet angelic voice came on.
Mark took the phone off his ear and looked at the screen to confirm the caller.
"Hello, Mark are you there?" came the voice.
Mark instantly sensing that, the caller was probably trying to call one of her contacts named Mark, but instead called his own Mike.
"But who could be the caller?" He asked himself as he took the phone back to his ear.
"Are you there?"
"Yes I am." Mark replied instantly changing his voice. "I think the network coverage here is very bad. Hold on let me move to an area where the coverage is at least good." Mark pleaded and instantly made his way out of the office.
"I think am getting there." Mark said and immediately zoomed into the ICT hall where over fifteen computer experts, programmers and analyst were going about their business.
"Quiet everybody." He screamed and made for where one of his fellow N.A.T.U agents was seated with her laptop.
" Hadiza, trace the source of this call." He whispered quietly to the young lady who instantly nodded and connected an auxilliary cord to the phone and Clara's voice came on speaker.
"Yes, Clara tell me what you want." Mark said.
His head went deep thinking about what to expect for the runaway suspect. "Danny Lovato is busy right now. He is meeting with the Americans who promised to supply us the merchandise needed." Mark explained.
"Is that Mark O.J?" Clara asked, a bit unsure.
And just then, the annoying automated voice which has been programmed to sound anytime the security door into the FBI headquarters opens.
"Welcome to the FBI." Came the voice.
"Dammit!" Came Clara's voice and immediately the line went dead.
"Any luck?" He asked the lady who was typing furiously and glancing at her computer screen, at the same time making use of the mouse.
"One second please." She pleaded.
Mark was getting out of patience.
"Do something fast." Mark urged.
"It's kind of not working." The lady drawled.
"It has to work. Tracking shouldn't take as much time as this." Mark said angrily. "Maybe you are not really qualified for this position.
------------------------------------------
Despite the Air condition being in full swing, Clara could feel sweats on her forehead, likewise her heartbeat.
"How could I have been so stupid? Saving Mark Ashimolowo's number on my escape line, after I had destroyed the number everyone knew me with:" She thought. "No doubt, I am being tracked, and it is only matter before I am traced to a stop here. I should do something real fast." She thought as she made for her wardrobe, grabbed her empty box of clothes and walked into her closet where she packed all her clothes and stuffed them into her box.
"I should get out of here real quick." She muttered as she picked her phone, and carefully called her boyfriend, Mayor.
"Hello boo." She said excitedly immediately he answered the call.
Ever since her break up with Mayor, he had told her point blank not to ever call his line or check on him. Even a month ago when Clara left N.A.T.U unannounced, her first point of call was Mayor's residence, where he grudgily allowed her to stay two nights before he threw her out, with the usual, this should be the last time we would be meeting.
To see him answer her call was a relief. Alas, they would be meeting one more time. She smiled dryly.
"Hello Mayor." She said with her sweet angelic voice.
"Yes? Hello." Mayor's rich baritone voice came on.
One could not but notice the disdain with which he spoke. But, Clara was far from noticing the tone he used for her. What she needed that moment was someone to come pick her up and that she was asking for from him.
"One of my boys will pick you up. Just stay wherever you are until he calls you." The line went dead, even before she could say a thing.
Clara lifted up her face as she thought of what to do next, when a message came in.
"Danny Lovato would be getting accross to you on phone in few minutes time.
Presented before her was two options. Either to take the safe caution by switching off her phone and destroying her sim card or damning the consequence of being tracked further by waiting for Lovato's call. The first option seemed safe, but missing Lovato's call could mean being in his bad book, while the second option is risky.

--tbc--

--continuation--
Mark listened attentively to Clara's voice, after her line has succesfully being snooped on.
"One of my boys will pick you up. Just stay wherever you are untill he calls." The line went dead.
Mark stared at the female analyst who shifted uncomfortably.
"I need the location where this call was made." He instructed and rushed out of the ICT hall into the weaponry, where other field operatives were waiting for him.
"Hey guys." He said as he walked toward a cupboard, picked a 9mm revolver and tucked it into his holster.
"There is a new development, and to achieve something tangible, we have to kill two birds with a stone." He began.
The look on the men's faces showed how ready they are, even though, a couple of then wore this gloomy look.
"Clara, our main target is lodged at Palace Prince hotel, on the expressway. And we need to act real quick to get her before anyone else does." He explained. "The latest development being, she just made a call to one of her accomplices who promised to get her out of her prsent spot as soon as possible. Goodnews, her accomplice is here in Lagos. He made the call inside Access bank headquarters. The bank security have been alerted, and hopefully, they succeed in holding everybody in until our team gets there." He continued his pep talk until his phone rang. His face lit up, immediately he saw who the caller was.
With a surge of excitement, he answered the call.
"Hello Tina." He said.
"Hello Mark. There is a situation." She replied.
"A bigger one is waiting for you here, and am sure you are going to love it." Mark said. "Move it guys!" He ordered his men who moved out of the weaponry at once, with him taking the rear.
"I saw Clara's car minutes ago, and I have been on the trail. I need backup. You should lead them here. I'll send my location to your PDA."
"Well, you saw Clara's car and followed it. But right now, we know where Clara is and am leading a team there." Mark replied with a laugh. Now he was standing before his men once again in the parking lot.
"Agent Olu, pick your team and go over to access bank immediately. I'll lead the rest to the hotel." Mark instructed hopping into the passenger seat of one of the four SUVs parked.
"I need a backup team." Tina said, almost pleading.
"I'll arrange a team and be careful."
The ever annoying and obnoxious Tony walked into the parking lot.
"What's going on here?" He asked, but got no response.
He angrily moved over to Mark's side.
"I demand an answer Mark. Here in FBI, you can't just pick a team and enter the weaponry. Its not right."
"Even in the case of emergency?" Mark laughed. "FBI is such a joke." He muttered.
"Anyways, there is a situation. You will recieve a notification on you PDA shortly." Mark began but was cut short.
"What for?"
"Tina will debrief you on the situation. Just prepare a backup team and lead them to meet her wherever she is. Thank you." Mark explained. Snapped his finger and immediately, the driver of his SUV drove off, leaving a suprised Tony standing.
