EPISODE
TWENTY-FOUR


UNKNOWN LOCATION..

Dayo rowland was lost in thoughts as he awaited the arrival of his cohorts, he was at the place early and his mind couldn't help but wander. He was acting as the assistant inspector general of police before someone was finally voted into the position.

He still had much influence in the police force as he ranks high among the top officials. But having spent few months as the assistant inspector general, dayo's ambition for power increased drastically

His focus was no longer on the assistant inspector general of police's post, he wanted the real thing for himself, which was why he joined the chief garba train. He was relishing the idea of being known as the inspector general of the Nigeria police force when chief garba entered in company of the present vice president of the nation, The Aig and some few state security service top officials he had encountered before.

They all sat down after exchanging few pleasantries. They discussed the coming election which was happening in less than three weeks and few vital issues. Carlos was the only regular face present in the meeting as the meeting only contained key members of the organization.

Carlos, have you helped musa in sorting out his mess? Chief garba asked.
Yes i killed one of the guys already, i should be through with everything this night" Carlos replied without changing the expression on his face.
Okay, what of the supply? Have they sent someone else to pick it up?
Yes, the police station where the truck was parked is been controlled by a member of this organization and the truck was released to them without much ado.
Infact, someone who seems to know little details about the murder among the policemen in that station is to be framed" Carlos replied chief garba's second question smiling, he was obviously happy someone was to be blamed for the murder.

Okay, but please be careful...we've gotten to a delicate state and we cant afford to make mistakes, be clinical when carrying out your assignments, Dont even give space for little clues. Chief said,
he was visibly satisfied with the progress being made.

Chief, i see the "Aig" is here, i hope there wont be issues when you will be choosing the officials when you are finally the president? Dayo rowlands asked.

You see, maybe you will have to settle for that Aig post later on, since most Aig's are always promoted to be IG's. Chief garba said into the air indifferently. We should call it a day here.

Carlos, chief garba called out. I want you to keep a close eye on that man...
who sir? He asked after chief garba spoke into his ears.
Dayo Rowlands, the man who spoke the other time, the chief whispered...

EPISODE
TWENTY-FIVE

Toni's eyes was focused on the road as he overtook the car in his front. He wore a straight face and answered his wife's questions without betraying any emotions, she was pregnant and he didnt want to heighten her tension. When he heard about Ramon's death, he knew if he wanted to stay alive, he had to leave lagos state at that instant. He felt his death was connected to the message he sent to him.

He easily convinced his wife after he told her he was free for the weekend and that he wanted to spend the weekend with his mum.

IBADAN, OYO STATE...

It was raining heavily, carlos took shelter under one of the makeshift shops scattered around, he already spent close to one hour on the road but his target was yet to show up. He was shivering as the cold air coupled with the rain was affecting his joints. He brought out his phone and dialled musa's number.

Musa picked the phone after the third ring, he hated speaking with carlos, besides the workload was too much for him, he was yet to enter the records for the day and failure to do that might make the cartel tag him a thief.

Hello, carlos what is it again?

Why are you just picking the call? Are you still at the company? Carlos said into the phone without waiting for a reply to his first question.

I'm in my office, musa muttered.
Good, check if the other guy left already and get back to me immediately, he spoke as he ended the phone call.

Musa clicked on the power button twice to check if his torchlight was still functioning well. He cursed under his breath and quickly called carlos's number, Toni's truck was still in the company's premises.

James" To be a good detective or police officer, you need to trust in yourself. The most critical point in a policeman's life is the process of investigation, most time, they fail to meet up to expectations in that aspect.
You know there are lots of cases, but the most trying of all is that of murder.

Murder cases are like strands of DNA, almost impossible to separate.
To do so, you need to untangle with patience and sheer concentration, they are more like a web...

I woke up with a start, alas it was a dream, the man talking to me in the dream was my instructor back at the police academy, i waved off the dream and blamed it on my obsession with the recent murder incident. How ignorant i was .....

*EPISODE
*TWENTY SIX..

I slowly eased my car into the parking space beside the Dpo's car. I had a positive mindset for the week and said a word of prayer as i took my badge from my bag.

All of my greetings to my fellow colleagues went unreplied. I waved it off and concluded they didnt hear me greet them, since the constable behind the counter who was always the first to greet me whenever i approached the door did not reply me too.

I had barely settled into the office when two junior officers came in with john, i was about greeting them when i noticed one of them was with an handcuff. Arrest him" i heard john say...

Different thoughts ran through my mind as they ushered me towards the only available cell in the premises. I deduced that i was been arrested for the murder of the truck driver.
I thought of my mom, my sister and even thought about my dignity and reputation.

I knew i was innocent and there was no how i could provide my innocence from inside the cell and failure to do that will most likely lead to my death or a very long time in jail.

I was in the middle of the two officers who handcuffed me and each held either of my hands firmly even with the cuffs on my hand.

When we got to the cell the one holding my right hand had to let go of my hand in a bid to open the padlock securing the cell door.

I swung my head to the left suddenly. The blow hit the other officer in his right eye which made him release my hand. i kicked the other officer in the groin before he could react which sent him sprawling to the floor.

I removed the key to the handcuffs from his pocket and helped myself out. The one i hit in the eye was still clutching his eye firmly and only looked on in silence. I hopefully thought i had not blinded him. I took their guns and walked briskly but silently in the direction we came from.

I walked into my office and quickly took my car keys and some other personal effects. I was about walking towards the front door when i remembered the window in my office was without burglary, passing through the window without attracting much attention was the best option to me.

I decided to abandon my car so i could put enough distance between me and the police. I had less than two hours leverage time...
