Lol I wouldn't miss it for anything..I have a feeling I myt be calling you 'mama ibeji'

Amen, i key into yOur prophecy brOo

This is really a delayed diagnosis

I'm scared for Olivia. Let's just hoped she scale through the plan. Nice one soul, more grace. Happy weekend! #Olirex

Transportation was another problem but Strange eyes had the answer for that too. I don't know what he had done or said to the doctors but they were extremely helpful. But when he told me he would be driving one of the ambulance so Andy could remain on the bed and continue receiving his drip, I was impressed. "How did you get them to agree to that?"
He smiled then lowered his voice "well....you know Andy's dad the Senator doesn't joke with his son's health"
I might be many things, but not slow. I smiled, "that's true..the senator"
Olivia looked at us "his father's a senator?"
I gave her a conspirator's wink and she smiled. "Oh..."

We stepped aside as the doctors performed a final checkup on Andy. The doctor was obviously not pleased as he filled a form and handed it to strange eyes to sign.
I had disappeared into the toilet immediately the doctor I had assaulted had entered, but the two doctors had gone straight to work. Now I counted up to ten then decided I was wasting time..Olivia was there after all and if he should recognise me, I was going to deny him in a way that would make Peter proud.

"Is this how you're going?" I asked strange eyes. He was still in the hospital gown and he looked quite ridiculous, with his hairy legs on display and his feet buried in size 45 shoes.
"Do you have a problem with it?" he asked me pointedly
I bit my tongue "no...no I don't"
Olivia laughed from behind me.

A doctor/nurse wheeled Andy on the mobile bed, strange eyes was beside him matching his pace with the man and they were talking.
I wheeled Olivia behind them, I was on the lookout, my guard was up and I kept on looking at each face. Everyone was a potential shadow, take Tosin for instance, he had seemed like just a nice cleaner the first day I had seen him, Andy and he had even been involved in a discussion not knowing he had his plans.

Outside, the doctor left Andy in our care and hurried in. "So what's the hold up?"I asked strange eyes the minute he was out of earshot.
"They have a designated driver..his job is driving the ambulance he should be here any minute now"
We waited for about ten minutes and I used the opportunity to fill in Andy(who had woken up)on what was going on.

The driver turned up, he had been having dinner and he was sorry he wasted time. We assured him it was no problem.

Strange eyes told me his agents would be driving his Ford jeep behind. "They're trained in spotting tails...if anyone would follow us they would definitely notice and throw him off"
I nodded, it was good to see I wasn't the only one that was worried we might be followed from the hospital.

We drove in a convoy formation, the ambulance in front, with Strange eyes in it, I followed closely with Olivia beside me. The jeep was a couple of cars behind, on the lookout for any suspicious cars.

The sun had set by the time we got to the hospital.
Once the doctor was assured that we were financially stable to foot what was sure to be a very heavy bill, he was all smiles. Andy was set up in a private room,much better than the one he had been in previously.
I wasted no time in taking Olivia for her checkup and injections. The doctor(another jovial nice woman) smiled and waved her finger at me "you've not been bringing her...you're interfering with her meds o!"
I smiled politely in response. Truth be told I was sick and tired of medical workers, both friendly and unfriendly. I had met enough to last my lifetime.
I made a graceful escape as the doctor was still giving her lecture on the importance of sticking to medical appointments.

I met strange eyes outside. He handed me my car keys. "Your car is downstairs"
"Wow..nice..who brought it?"
"I had another agent bring it"
"Okay cool"
He kept on looking at me and I knew something was wrong, finally I asked him "okay..what is it?"
"This your plan...you mind telling me how you intend to kidnap an exco?"
"That's the problem...I haven't really figured that part out"
"And you say you have a plan? So what's your plan then?!"
"To kidnap them of course!"
He was about to reply...but then his eyes strayed over my shoulder. I turned and saw a young lady walking briskly towards us. She wore a suit and there was something sharp about her movement.
"A.j..all has been rectified" she spoke up once she reached us.
"OK...that's nice...this is my friend Rex..Rex..this is Tonye"
"Nice to meet you" we shook hands and I noticed she had a firm grip, that wasn't all I noticed, she was a looker, she was quite stunning and I knew immediately what I had to do. "So...agent Tonye right?..how would you like to seduce someone on my behalf tomorrow?" I asked her with what I hoped was a charming smile.
She jerked her hand away immediately, then glanced at Strange eyes, unsure how she should react. She must have been surprised I knew she was an agent but she herself had called strange eyes A.j(Agent John) besides, I hardly met anyone friends with strange eyes who was not some kind of agent or the other.

Bami nodded hastily "he's cool he's cool, he's almost an agent himself so don't worry" then he turned to me "what the Bleep are you saying?"
I raised up both hands. "Before you crucify me hear what I have to say..."

Ten minutes later(or five to be honest) and I had the both of them nodding thoughtfully "so that means...we go for the lawyer then...not the Chief's wife"
"Yes..the lawyer...the minute I saw his picture...I just knew there was an angle there..."
He nodded "your hunch is spot on...because the rumour is that he's a sucker for anything in a skirt"
"Really...I'm standing right here!" Agent Tonye reminded him.
'No offense" he smiled sheepishly.
He then directed her to try and get the Lawyer's call records from the service provider.
She nodded politely at me and we watched her walk away in silence.
"There's something between you two isn't there?"
He looked at me "what...me and Tonye? are you drunk?"but I could swear his eyes got brighter.
"I've seen you with other agents and its always yessir! Yessir! This is the first time I'm seeing someone talk back at you and caution you and you were quick to apologise"
"I said something abusive..that was all..a mature leader knows when to say sorry"
I shrugged "its none of my business..I'm just saying what I noticed"
"Well you noticed wrong..." He grumbled and denied continuously and I knew my guess had been spot on, he liked her alright and from what I had learnt about agent Nancy who had died saving his life or to be precise his eye sight, I hoped this didn't also end like that. I looked at him suddenly "you don't have any problem with what she's going to do, do you?"
"What nonsense is that? Its part of her job and she's good at it!" He replied crossly.
"Temper temper..." I said in a placating tone which he took for sarcasm because he shot me daggers with his eyes.

Olivia was done with her checkup and she was in a good mood. "Are we good to go?" I asked her
"Good to go, good to go...good to go sir!" She replied me with a mock salute and we both laughed.
Strange eyes had been watching us but he too smiled. "You people better invite me to your wedding o"
My smile froze...that had to be the worst thing to say to a less than two week old widow. I glanced at her, expecting some form of awkwardness...but she was smiling...dare I say she was smiling dreamily.
"As long as you invite us for you and Tonye's own" I replied him with my voice light,That shut him up.
"Where are you people going?" He asked stiffly as I wheeled her away
"We have an appointment...when you see us you'll understand!"
"The toys are still in my car" he meant the earphones and recorder.
"We'll be back...later tonight, I'd call you"
He just shrugged in an 'if you like call, if you like don't call' manner.

The BMW or my car....I faced the great dilemma and I asked Olivia.
"I've never seen your car..your real car..let's take your car"
Chai....I was certain it was going to 'fall my hand' with its chronic startup cough, but I wheeled her towards the car. Somehow I wasn't worried..with Olivia things like that didn't bother me anymore...she had seen too much of me and it would be foolishness to feel embarrassed by something as insignificant as that...or maybe with the right person it didn't matter.
I was in for a surprise when I got to the car, it was waxed and polished a gleaming black, and it looked new that I stood looking around for my car even when the lights had blinked in response to the remote control.
Strange eyes had really pimped my ride like it was an 'exhibit' and I was awed.
We settled in and for the first time ever, without pumping the clutch, the car responded with a smooth engine sound. No wheezing,no coughing, nothing!
"Wow...you have a nice car"
"Thanks..you should have seen it before" my tone of voice must have conveyed what I meant because she laughed happily and freely. The sound was like a fist on my heart...I hoped and prayed that in the next few hours the laughter won't be replaced by tears. I closed my eyes and I could see her locked in a container, among scores of other women, all scared and crying...I gritted my teeth.
"Rex...Rex..what's wrong?"
I opened my eyes and smiled "nothing....I was just thinking of that traffic we faced while coming" I put the car in gear "Wendy...here we come!"

•°•°•°•°•°•
Wendy was the type of person that once an idea of a work was in her head..it never went away..she was waiting impatiently and she had called me countless times to figure out if I was still on my way.

The school had long closed and she was the only one who waited behind. She was standing at the main gate with the security guard. She must have told him she was expecting us because he only tapped my booth for me to open it for him, after which he waved me on after checking.
I moved in and parked to the side of the road. Wendy hurried to my window. "Just go in and park...I'd be with you shortly" she saw Olivia and smiled "he told me he was coming with someone..its nice to finally meet you"

Wendy led the way inside, switching on the lights as we passed.
"Hope the guard is cool and not a snitch?" I asked her.
"No...well maybe but I'm going to give him some money to be sure of his loyalty"
"Wow..you'd so that for me?"
I was behind her, Wheeling Olivia but I could tell she rolled her eyes. "Duh! Where do you think the money is going to come out from?"
I chuckled "Wendy....sha take it easy with my pockets"
"You just see what I have planned for you and your friend"

She worked on Olivia first and I stood to the side and watched as little by little, her hair was turned grey. Wendy was a master with hair dyes and she mixed two different shades of grey to give her the required shade she wanted.
The result was how the hair of an aging 50/60 year old woman would look.
"Okay...lemme see" she studied Olivia's face intensely through the mirror. "Okay...just a few wrinkles here and there...you want any scarring? No scarring won't be nice..you're an elderly elegant woman..yes just wrinkles...not too much, just to age your pretty face a little"
"Wow..you're very good..I'm already feeling old now" Olivia was impressed.
"Trust me..it isn't complete..there'd be a little line, here, here and here...behind your eyes..not to talk of your teeth.." She touched almost all over Olivia's face and I laughed. "Wendy the magician...are you going to add all those ones tonight?"
"No...since its Tomorrow..its best to do it in the morning...when the effects would still be fresh"
"Okay...that sounds nice..." But then I remembered where the interview was supposed to hold. "Actually, we won't be able to come all this way tomorrow..why don't you just do it all now?"
She was already shaking her head "no...no...instead I'd prefer to come to you myself in the morning"
"Wow..you're serious? You'd do that?"
She rolled her eyes again and I interrupted her this time "okay I know..I know..I'd be paying your transport right"

She fussed on Olivia a bit, greying the eyebrows slightly, adding a fake birthmark then taking it off"
"I thought it looked well" Olivia said when she removed the birthmark she had placed above her left eye.
"Yes darling..it would come on tomorrow..tonight is just your hair basically..that's half of the job alone"
"What's the other half?" I asked "the facials?"
"Yes..and don't forget the fun part...the dressing up!"

My turn and she asked me "Old or young?"
"I don't know...just make me totally unrecognisable"
She went for old again...the similarities would have been too much otherwise. This time however, she went a different route, instead of balding me, she added a toupee, a patch of grey afro hair that was greyed white completely. She worked on my eye brows, my moustache and the beards "justice the barber is not around...but I think I got this" and truly she did, she worked the beards perfectly, no touch of black just grey all through.
"Hmmm...I'm looking like Wole Soyinka a bit" I said checking out the result.
"Believe me that would change when the wrinkles come on...you're going to look like an Old weathered and battered man"
I couldn't help it, I flinched and Olivia burst out laughing "you know what that means..you better enjoy your youth tonight" she had said it innocently, but trust my dirty mind to interpret it another way. I stared at her thoughtfully through the mirror and she blushed.
Wendy must have been feeling the chemistry whether organic or inorganic because she cleared her throat suddenly "ehem...so Mr Rex tomorrow morning you're going to be so old, that your eyes would hardly open clearly...deal?"
"Deal" I agreed.
She rubbed her hands together "now for the fun part..let's get you dressed up!"

Half an hour later and she escorted us to the car. Olivia had the nylon bags containing the clothes we had selected in her lap while I wheeled her.
"So..where do I meet you people tomorrow?" Wendy asked me
We had gotten to the car and I scratched my head. "I'd give you the address..but it would likely be a hotel"
She raised an eye brow slightly, but she didn't miss a beat "okay..just lemme know on time..before 8 I'd be there"
I could tell she was dying to ask about Fome but was trying to mind her business.
I thanked her and Olivia thanked her also, commending her as one of the very best makeup artists, that made her blush.

I tipped the guard an extra thousand naira to smoothen things further, I knew Wendy was going to give him something, and it had to be something significant, judging from what she had gotten from me, but I knew Jossy was a no nonsense person and she had risked her job for my sake.

I called strange eyes from the car "Are you at the hospital?"
"Is that your greeting?"
I sighed "okay good evening sir...are you at the hospital?"
"Not at the moment but The bull is there"
"Which one is the bull again?"
"That's the captain agent"
"Oh..you mean the fake Captain. Anyway...let's meet up tomorrow for the recorder and earphones and a final briefing"
He chuckled "I'm telling you you've found your calling...you sound just like an agent!"
"Bami...good night, we'll meet tomorrow"

"So what now..we get some sleep?" Olivia asked me, she was trying to stifle a yawn and I knew she must be tired.
"Yes..and pray the sun takes its time before rising"

•°•°•°•°•°•
At the hotel, the very same hotel we had left before checking in two nights ago, the same friendly clerk was at the desk.
"Ah...customer...hope you're here to stay?"
"Yes o...sorry about the other time" I paid and he gave me the keys.
It was past 11 when we got in, and I asked Olivia "hope you're not hungry?"
"No..that brunch we had earlier..that was just too heavy...like this I'm okay till tomorrow"
"Okay..good...me too"
I stood pacing around, like my mind was on different things, but to be honest all I could think about was the fact that there was one bed...I kept on reminding myself she was a widow, and I was a responsible man...but the mental reminder wasn't holding much weight anymore.
"We better get some sleep" I told her.
Wendy had said to leave the hair overnight before washing...so having a shower was out of the question...which was just as good because I had been thinking of the fact that my mom wasn't around anymore to help with the dressing.
That reminded me, they didn't call me when they landed, but it was late now...it would have to be tomorrow.

We talked about the initiative and how the interview might turn out, it seems sleep was hard to come for both of us.

I don't know what got into me suddenly, but one minute we were talking, and the next I held her chin in my hand and was pressing my lips against hers, she leaned into the kiss immediately and it was the sweetest thing ever, the kiss played on for seconds until I heard her moan(or my God...was it me?)
The kiss broke naturally and I rested my cheek on her head and kissed her hair, "I swear...nothing would happen to you...I swear it" in the heat of passion and swimming with emotions I truly meant what I said...nothing was going to happen...no way! If I had been doubting it before, the kiss had confirmed it, I loved her alright and I had lost someone before....we had both lost someone before...but now..loosing wasn't an option.

°•°•°•°•°
5:00am(five hours to the interview)

I didn't sleep much, I kept on looking at the ceiling....the fear had descended all of a sudden from nowhere and I continually stretched my hands to touch Olivia and assure myself she was with me.
Right now she was still asleep, hopefully with good dreams playing behind her eyelids judging by the smile on her lips.

I hadn't prayed in a long while, I think the last time I prayed was when I was staring down the barrel of the gun, but this morning I went on my knees and I prayed..

Strange eyes the sharp guy its getting more captivating. Keep it coming, thumbs up.
