Cos the story make sense

Wow,........thanks bro,I appreciate ,I go continue.

It has not been easy honouring invitations by other writers and also updating my work but update dropping soon










Typing,........

I have watched many chinese films and never have I believed all those moves they do nor the flying here and there with kicks. But the way the hefty looking man moved swiftly from my grandpa's front in a calculated mode, I do not know but it made me partly believe those chinese film had some part of it to be true.

The kick he gave me on the chest sent me 5yards away. I was still trying to know how he made that move, still trying to figure out what sort of iron his boot were made of, when he placed a gun on my head.


"Who are you and why are you trailing us?." He said as he made to pull the trigger when grandpa quickly spoke I am his grandson, I had followed him and he trusted me.


He took the gun off my head and gave me a hand to lift me off the ground. I gave him my hand expecting he would say 'he is sorry' for what he did but he said, 'make sure you walk like a man next time and be very prepared no matter the environment you find yourself.'

I started thinking, this is no joke, he is s a trained security operative who is very conscious of his environment. I tried to look him from head to toe, to figure out how this hefty man could move so swiftly I didn't expect.

If grandpa had not said I am his grandson, would he have pulled the trigger?.

I started feeling a serious pain in my chest and my head was aching as if someone was hitting it with an hammer but I couldn't stop walking if I didn't want to be a suspect, and receive another kick that could send me to my early grave.

It was evident the man is an hausa man with his accent, those types of soldiers with 3 tribal marks drawn on the side of their mouth that makes them look like a cat. He is no nonsense with the way he reacted when he knew I was following them.

I was still thinking may be he might be a soldier from the look of things or an assassin with the way he drew his gun out from where he hid it, when we got to a point and made a right turn.

The man stopped and another hefty mean looking man putting on a black vest with the Ralph logo on it came out of nowhere. He wore a black shade too, that fit the shape of his round head perfectly. He has the resemblance of Abacha but without the tribal marks.


They whispered something into each other's ears. The man came forward, searched grandpa and me before he led us into a broken wall path. Immediately we passed through the wall, I felt we were being kidnapped.


I looked back but couldn't see anything, not even the man who brought us that far. Everywhere was dark and I thought this is it, mama was going to torment us.


If I knew what it takes to be a general in the army, I wouldn't have had different thoughts or blame the first man who gave me a kick or the paths we were being led. I never knew it wasn't easy to be a general, more so, a general in the army.

All the paths we were led looked as if we were kidnapped or were wanted criminals that had terrorized the neighbourhood for long.

Before we got to the retired general himself, we had to go through some strict military measures but they justified the position he had occupied when he was in the Army.


I asked my thought, this man is no longer a general, why are people still guiding him as such?. I never knew my ignorance was playing a path in my thoughts when I was jostled back to reality by the man who led us.

We were now in the midst of 4 men. 2 standing at each side of the path we stopped, an iron door facing us.


"You may now go in". The one who led us said.


The door opened, we stepped in and greeted the general. Grandpa offered him a handshake and he asked us to take our seats soon as he honoured grandpa's handshake.

Papa explained all mama's children had been going through to him and he became interested in the case without giving it a second thought.


"Hmmmmm!. I think, I do love to handle this case. Something seem fishy somewhere. Howw can they be seeing ghost?. I, myself have heard and seen in movies of ghost appearing to people but never have I seen such with my eyes and that is what makes me find much interest in this case."


"It looks so unbelievable sir, I am also surprised. I had thought may be they were over-reacting but I mean, 6 children seeing their mother's ghost is no joke. That's why I have to come to you because I know, you can handle such case."



"I don't think there would be need to dwell on this matter that much, since you said thursday is the burial, I may have to spring into action right now." The General said as he showed us to the door.


I had thought why didn't he ask for some things he might need from Papa but shrugged it off as Papa gave him an envelope I do not know what was inside.

I had to resolve soon as he got the envelop, he knew his work and would be best to handle it as we were led through a path not complicated as the one we came through on our way out.



****************************************

Another update dropping in a moment







Typing,.........

The first call the General made was to someone he could trust, one of his numerous girlfriends but this girl to him is so different. They met when he was posted to Osun before he became a General.


She was a prostitute but he had trusted her so much that he asked she stops the 'useless' job to be his permanent girlfriend. He saw traits of a good detective in her and that was what prompted him the more to ask her to stop her 'runs' job.

He thought he might need her assistant as an undercover agent in the future and he couldn't just let such girl that can be trusted go that easily. He was serious with the love he had for her and showed it by renting her an apartment.

He took her to a martial art training before he could finally let her into his life. She had to undergo some military training and as a very intelligent girl, he didn't explain much to her about his plight before she understood all he needed as a Retired General, who was running a Non-governmental security service and specially for the love she also has for him.



She is Aminat by name, a dark slim-fitted yoruba girl. She is 6ft tall and her stature fits her position not only as the General's girlfriend but also as a detective.

She had helped the General so much with some mission the General himself couldn't believe she could handle. Her work is very demanding, she had had to play as a prostitute she was some times in getting some mission done.

It didn't really please her playing the role of a prostitute to get some jobs done since she left the job and had promised never would she have anything to do with again.

She had fallen in love with the General and the job they do together.
She didn't even care the General had a wife and 4 children. She also brags to have given birth to a son that looks just like him and would become a soldier once he came of age.

She had been in the security/detective operation with the Retired General for 7years and they both know each other like 'Dele Giwa'.

She didn't allow the General to show dominance over her cause of his retired position or the one he held in his security outfit. She is a tomboy and ready to be up in his ass whenever he tried to play smart.

There had been a mission they both took some years back which the General blamed her for sleeping with the person they were trailing. He got really angry at her and had sent her out of his office when she confronted him with a gun facing his head.

She threatened the General she would blow off his head if he tried to act smart. "Were you not the one who brought me into this mess?. Did I ever ask you to involve me in your pathetic job?. Why did you ever pick me up from the hotel I was hustling to come help you and which I just did and you are angry at me for playing along to get your man for you?." She was sobbing as she asked the General those questions when she dropped the gun and ran out of the office angrily and before the General could know it, he heard she had an accident going back to Osun where she came from.

He had to visit her at the hospital and apologized to her. He thanked God nothing happened to her and begged her when she insisted after being discharged she was going back to continue her runs business in Osun since the General was angry she slept with the person they were trailing.

It took some time before the General got her to change her mind when he knew he needed to appreciate her effort. if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have completed the mission.

She knew the time for play and the time for leisure. They both knew there was no friend in the jungle of war and one mistake could be absolutely detrimental. So they took their job with all seriousness.



"Hello Amy darling. I have a mission we need to get to its root before Thursday and I would need you to tell me if you are in or not once I explain everything to you."



"Speak up dear. Once business is on, other things have to wait." She replied.


The General explained to her, everything Grandpa had said and more than he heard from him and the response he got was in the affirmative, she is in to help unravel the mysteries.



"Please take this number down, '08100005533'. I would need you to get to the Morgue at the General hospital Agege this night soon as you can and keep me posted."



"Copy that General. I'm on the go!. Talk to you soon as I get any relevant information and please endeavour to keep me apprised on any development at your end."



"I will dear. Speak to you soon, goodbye."



Immediately the General ended the call, Amy made for her wardrobe, took out what she might need on her journey and off she went to the General Hospital Agege.


The General too needed no time to spring into action. This matter was none he could involve any of his securities or trained agents.
It was a mission, he and the girl he trust, and love so much had to carry out without any lapses. They had worked together on several occasions and there had been no cause to feel disappointed even on missions greater than the one papa brought to them.

He left his office that night and took his peugeot 205, 1998 model as he drove to an unknown place alone without anybody following him, not even his trained security personnel.


He was no retired General again at that point, he was now an Agent.



Where is the General heading.




Did Agent Amy(Aminat) meet mama's corpse at the Morgue of the General Hospital?.

The General pulled over about 2hrs later at the front gate of Mrs. Kiara's residence. It was already 8pm that sunday evening. I don't know how he got the address to her house but here he is. He stepped out of the car and looked around may be he was not being followed. After much surveillance, he made for the gate.


He knocked the gate the first time and got no response. He knocked the second time and still no response. He stepped aside to stare through a little space the gate left on its side to know may be anyone was around but he didn't see anybody.


He went back into his car and rang someone. I don't know who he rang but he was on the phone for almost 10minutes before he ended the call, stepped out of the car again and made to knock the door when someone opened the gate.

It was the gateman and I thought he had given him(the gateman) a call. He asked may be madam was around and the gateman confirmed she is. He asked to see her but the gateman had to tell him to wait while he informs madam someone is looking for her.



"Who should I say wants to see her?." The gateman asked



"Just tell her a retired general from papa." He responded as the gateman went inside to inform Mrs. Kiara a man in dark shades claiming to be a retired General was here to see her.



"At this hour?. What does he want?." She asked the gateman



"I don't know ma, should I ask him in or may be he comes in day-time?." The gateman suggested but she protested she is coming and should seat the man down.



She came out about 5minutes later after she had gone to put on a blouse against the ordinary wrapper she had on before.


"Hello gentleman. Can I help you?. I heard you'd come from papa?. Hope no problem?." She asked as she shifted her eyeglasses a little lower to her nose to see the man clearly.


"No!. There is no problem ma. It is concerning the strange happenings of late that I have come." The General said.


At the moment she heard the General say, the strange happenings. Her soul almost left her skin. She became afraid and looked back jumping away from where she stood as a big rat passed across her leg. She was so terrified, she thought the ghost had appeared and had touched her when the General said," it is only a rat, don't be afraid".


She heaved a sigh of relief as she spoke
"If you don't mind General, may we go in to discuss this?."


The General gave a nod and followed as she led the way into the living-room.



There was nobody apart from the maid and the gateman living with her in the house. The house wasn't that big but it was well furnished. The living-room was lit dim by a blue and red bulb each at the four corners of the room. She ordered the General to have his seat as she asked may be he doesn't mind a glass of water but he turned it down saying there was no time for water.



"Madam, I heard all that happened and decided to come ask you some questions if you would provide all necessary answers to them. To help us figure out what is really happening." The General started without any delay.


"I will answer you all you need to know General." She replied as she redress on the sofa she sat on. The maid brought in a cup of water which she took a sip and placed it back on the side stool close to her.



"Well, I heard you had left your bag in the wardrobe before heading to the cinema with your sister. How true is that?." The General started the interrogatory session.


"Very true General. You see, I had wanted to take the bag along but I changed the red shoe I was putting on to a purple, that was why I had to ignore the red bag but I was surprised how it got to the cinema without legs or wings, not even a human taking it that far." She answered as she stood up and headed into the bedroom where she had her wardrobe to bring out the red bag.



The General didn't stop when he saw her stand and proceeded with his questions. "Are you sure your sister didn't bring the bag along?. May be she had mistakenly taken it without your consent or knowledge!."


"Haba General!!!. She wasn't even here when I came to take the bag that morning. I had to meet her outside the gate as she had brought her car and rang me immediately she got to the gate. We were even in a hurry so she didn't come inside." She spoke from the inner room she was.



"Hmmmmm. In that case, I will have to start going. That's all I have come to ask." The general said as he stood up to leave. Mrs. kiara came out of the bedroom with the red bag showing it to him.


"This is the bag. Before I forget, there was a letter in it which I had not taken out of the bag after my sister and I read it the day we saw the bag at the cinema." She said as she unzipped the bag and brought out the letter so the General could read.



The General read through the letter and nod as he said "well, I have to take this along to the bank tomorrow so I confirm the signature on it may be it tallies with the one your mum used at her bank when she was alive."


The General pocketed the letter and made for the door when he started thinking about all Mrs. kiara had said. How did a bag develop wings if truly she hadn't taken it along.


More to be surprised of is the letter she found inside, with her mother's signature. He was beginning to imagine some impossible things as the gateman opened the gate and he stood leaning on his car for some minute.

How did the ghost get the keys to this gate and also to the wardrobe if she was not at home?. Were they even sure it is a ghost they saw?. These were the questions he felt he should have asked when something drifted into his mind. The Gateman and the Maid!!! They have to be a suspect. Yes!!!. They are suspects!!

More updates dropping tonight

At the other end, Agent Amy had gotten to the hospital but had to stay in the car for 30minutes when she realised she has an headache.

She had bought snacks and drink when she was on the high-way. It was evident hunger was the cause of the headache and she knew she wouldn't be comfortable with anything she had to do at the hospital. That was what prompted her to relax in the car for 30minutes before she stared at her wristwatch as she was about dosing off, it was 8:45pm.


"OMG!!!. It is getting late already and here I am dosing off without even taking a step on the task at hand." She said to herself as she removed her seat-belt and got down from the car.

She asked from some people who were going here and there where the morgue is but they seem not to care, as no one made to answer her.


Well, this is a hospital and everybody with their own headache. Some have brought their relatives or friends here praying they make it back alive. Some are busy going around begging alms so they could buy drugs. Some are weeping their dead, while some just stood staring into thin hair. She thought as she made to ignore them knowing fully well what the atmosphere of a hospital is and the people to find parading it.

She knew she wouldn't get any response from people grieving so she turned back to the gate to ask from the gatemen on duties who gave her the direction to the hospital morgue.

She headed towards the place as directed and met an attendant at the reception who asked what she wanted. She showed the attendant her ID and explained all she had come to do to the attendant who asked for the name of the corpse she wanted to examine so he could search in the register for its name and where they had preserved the body.


The attendant searched through the register and didn't find the name she gave on it. she became surprised and started thinking on the other hand until an older and senior attendant came towards the reception and asked, what was going on. The junior attendant explained to his senior and he was asked to bring out a book from the shelf behind his chair which he did.

They searched and finally located Mrs. Kiara's name. Wow!!. How so many people have died in the space of 3 months was a big surprise to Agent Amy who had never thought about death and how it carried out its evil deed.

She had had a close encounter with death but had survived and it had never dawn on her how a register for death could pile up in the space of 3 months leading to another register being opened.

The new register was also getting to the last 2 pages of the hard cover higher education notebook they used for death registration purpose.

The senior attendant requested to see mama's death certificate so as to allow Agent Amy in but she couldn't provide it.


"Well, I'm sorry to tell you madam, you won't be allowed to see her corpse since you can't provide a copy of her death certificate." The attendant said trying to make life miserable for Agent Amy who was just recovering from her headache and the snub, she had to face from people she met before she got her direction.

She had to explain the way the story was to the man and showed him her ID card before she was allowed entry into the hall they had big freezers, that could contain 3 corpse all together. As many as could fill every space found in the hall.


She was taken round checking the tag they had placed on the freezers to identify mama's own when they finally came to the freezer that had same number tagged with mama's name on the register.

They didn't need to open the freezer. They took away the canopy they used in covering the transparent freezer away. Agent Amy examine everything she saw and took notes of some things only she could understand.

She finished her examination, thanked the attendants and made for the gate. She brought her phone out of her pocket as she walked towards her car and dialed the General's number. It rang the first time and he picked.



"Hello love, how is it?. You found anything foul yet?." The General said



"Shut up!. Does it mean if I didn't call you, you wouldn't have?. Even when I told you to keep me posted!." She said angrily as she made to end the call when she saw someone running away from her car.

an update

Ok dear,promise to drop it this night or tomorrow morning,please don't be offended

"Hello, I will call you back please." She ende the call as she called out to the fleeing young man racing away from her car but he didn't answer, didn't make to look back. He just kept running till he was out of the gate.


She never knew what he had done so running after him was useless as she walked to her car but what she saw surprised her.

There was a note on the windscreen, she took it and read. It was a warning note to stay clear of the mysteries she was trying to unravel. She read the note again and felt really disgusted not chasing the guy but she calmed down and entered her car.

She never noticed her tyres had been deflated as a security man came to inform her, her tyres were deflated.


She got down and to her greatest dismay, it was all four tyres that got deflated. She cursed why she didn't pursue the guy.

She brought out her phone and rang the General up, who didn't even let her speak as he started explaining all he had encountered at his end.



"I was about ringing you up when your call came through. You can't believe what I just saw as I left Mrs. kiara's compound. A note tagged to my wiper. It read I should stay clear of the matter, that it is more complicated than I thought." The General said frustrated.



"Wow!!!. I thought I was the only one who saw that. I got a note here as I left the morgue and to my greatest disbelieve, I saw someone racing away from my car but I never knew such had happened, I could have given the guy a chase."



"Well, it seems am grounded here. My car tyres are all deflated and except I get an engineer, I don't think I can move away with it."



"Same situation here dear, but I will try to stroll around in case I might come across the guy still wandering in the environment. if I can get the street he had raced through." Amy said as she ended the call and made towards the gate with her car locked.


The General had knocked the door again may be he could get any assistance from the gateman to help pump/inflate his tyres but he couldn't get any. The General had thought why was he even involved in this matter?. Why did he ever give papa his words?.


This was a more complicated matter than he thought. Amy had gone to the morgue and found mama's corpse. He looked at the note again. Who was playing tricks on the family?. Who had been appearing when the corpse haven't moved from the morgue?.


It is clear she is dead, but is it truly her ghost?. No!. It can't just be!. If it were to be her ghost, this note wouldn't have appeared for us to stay clear of the mystery. If it had been just me that saw the note. It wouldn't have been that great something to kill ones thought on but Amy had also gotten same note. I think I have to just stay clear of this issue the General had thought but changed his mind again.


I have never given up on most difficult or complicated issues than this so why must I back down now?. No!. I must get to the root of this matter he thought as he headed straight to his boot may be he could get a solution to the tyres himself.


He searched but couldn't get any emergency pump from his car boot. He only saw one spare tyre and that wouldn't do the job of 4.


Determined, he rang one of his boys up.

"Hello jack!. Please bring my other car and meet me at,..........". The General said as he went into his car thinking what next he would do.


How do I get to the bank tomorrow and who knows what surprises I might find he thought as he waited for jack to bring his car so he could go prepare for tomorrow.

"I must be really prepared for tomorrow. The person who dropped this note might try to act smart and appear tomorrow, that would be a great encounter. I will be ready for the unforseen and who knows, I might even see the ghost, if truly there is one as claimed." The General soliloquized


*******************************************


Agent Amy had strolled around all streets close to the hospital for almost an hour but didn't notice the guy, didn't even notice a bird flying across the sky. The street was humanly forbidden(curfew) at that hour.

She was about heading back to the hospital when she bumped into a guy who asked her what she was doing at that hour on the strange street. "It is not often you see people moving on here at this hour." they guy had said.


She explained her car tyres were deflated by someone she doesn' know. She was courteous enough not to spill out about her mission and the note she saw, since she didn't know the guy that approached her.



"Please do you know where I can get someone to help me fix the tyres?." She asked the guy as she walked along with him out of the street, as if she knew him before.




"I don't think you can get anyone to help you at this hour. All vulcanizers in the area have closed for the day." The unknown guy replied.



"Oh!!!. That means am stranded for tonight. How do I get back home?. Four tyres!!!. This guy didn't do it well." She complained disgustedly.



"I think I can help you with it. I can get a machine at my friends place close to the hospital to help pump the tyres." The guy said to her relief.



"oh!. That would be so kind of you, if you can."



They got close to the hospital and the guy went to get the machine. He brought it back and helped fix her tyres back as she watched on. Thinking what a kind guy this is, she offered him money but he didn't collect. He just said he did it for God." not knowing where they could meet again.



She entered her vehicle and started the engine. She thanked the guy and drove out of the hospital.

Tomorrow is another day she had said as she sped off not knowing who the guy that just helped her was.




If only she knew who he was,she wouldn't have let him go.




T.B.C,...........

I'm so sorry guyz for this single and short update,it is very unlike me. I promise to make it up to you guys this weekend with many updates by his(GOD) grace.

How do you feel when something you've been looking for is staring at you but you don't know it is there or can't even grab it

Update dropping in an hours time.








Typing,......

It was monday morning. Just three (3) days to mama's burial. Everyone seem calm as the General had assured them he would fish out the person playing tricks on the family if the ghost was fake.



No one said it may be fake except the General and Amy who had not seen the ghost but a little more complicated issue.
Their deflated tyres, the notes and Amy seeing someone racing off her car. These to them were enough to prove there was no ghost but they couldn't just assert there was not. No ghost had appeared to them.


They thought, well, we are not part of the family so it is realistic the ghost might just be appearing to its relatives left on earth. If so, there must be something amiss they do not know. It might prove mama was murdered if they reasoned traditionally but they had no course to reason that far if they do not want to be afraid. The training they had gone through, most especially the General was not something base on myth.


They were not made to believe anything called myth. All they had been taught was either real or not. They didn't have to deliberate before making up their minds. So to accept the notion ghost do exist was playing games in their mind. They either have to accept it as real or not but they found it just hard to say its real. Ghost!!!. It doesn't exist in their dictionary. There must be something we do not know about her death they thought.



7.30am, the General with doubts in his mind had rang Papa up to give the family a green light about the burial. They could proceed as planned. There was no ghost appearing anymore so it was safe for him to assure the family not to stop anything. More so,obituary had been printed and pasted across many streets with dates and venue. But the General didn't reveal anything he had seen to them. He kept it to himself as he went into his bathroom to have his bathe, brushed his teeth and dressed up.


Amy had come over after her unfortunate encounter at the hospital. She felt tired when she came back but had woken up early to prepare him breakfast. He went to the dinning and ate his food. He was about leaving for the bank when he called Amy who had gone back to rest in the bedroom.


"Amy, I want to leave for the bank now. Please, do take care dear and make sure you take the pain killers."


He didn't get any reply and had ignored it to be one of those ways fatigue makes you feel.

He was prepared for the journey. He had thought any unexpected could happen so he asked 2 of his boys to drive in another car and keep watch on his car. They should always keep a distance of about 7yards so no one would suspect them. He wanted to catch the person who deflated his tyres the other night and had thought the person might want to act smart again today at the bank, so back-up/surveillance was needed.


"Hello jack. Hope you guys are ready. Am about moving out of the compound now?." He said on the phone as he stepped into his car.



"Yes sir!. We are ready, Snake is with me." Jack replied



"Very well. You guys should keep to the plans. Any breach could complicate matters. hope you both know?."



"Yes sir!. We do and would stick to the plans."




"Ok!. I am about driving out now, stay focus and keep the distance."




"Roger that General." Beep beep, the call ended.



The General drove out of his compound and as he made his first turn, few minutes later. Jack moved the car he was in with Snake. The General looked through the side mirror and was satisfied with the distance. They headed straight to the bank.


At about 8:15, they got to the bank. The General got down from his car and straight he went into the banking hall.


He got to the customer care unit and asked to see the Manager. "Hope no problem?." Was the question he got and he replied there was none. He was asked to wait while they call the Manager someone was around to see him.


He later had to give his identity as a retired General who needed to proceed on a case involving the bank before he was shown the way to the Manager's office.



"Hello, good morning General. How may I help you?." The manager said offering him a hand shake and later a seat.



"You could help me in many ways sir, if I explain what brought me here."



"If you don't mind. Spill it out and let me see what help I can offer you." The manager said as he adjusted on his seat.


The General explained all what was going on to the Bank Manager who was shocked and afraid. He had never been close to people who had seen ghost before or told him any story they existed.

He only watched them in yoruba movies and had counted it to be one of those yoruba logic of making their movies interesting but here is someone in his presence who was trying to get to the bottom of a ghost sudden appearance.



"You said her daughter's name is what?." The Manager asked somewhat surprised.




"Kiara, she is her mother's namesake and they both bank with you people. She was here some few weeks ago and had seen her mother's ghost leaving the banking hall."


The General explained as the Manager drew his chair closer to the table. He placed his hands on the keyboard "what did you say the surname is?." He asked as he clicked the keyboard.




"Adelakun it is."


The keyboard sounded with speed as the Manager brought out the deceased details and her daughter's.



"Are these the people you are talking about?."




"Yes Manager, they are!."


The Manager left his office immediately and off he went into the counter at the banking hall. He asked some few questions from the attendant on duty and got some replies.

The attendant bent on his computer and clicked the keyboard for some minutes, then invited the Manager to have a look and before he could finish feeding his eyes from the desktop(reading to the end), he ran back into his office extremely shocked.

Most honourable readers. Who can guess what the Manager saw that made him race back to his office?

Wow,.......Nice guess dear,one bottle of Alomo for you.

I promised to update as much as I can this weekend so let me start looking for how to keep my promise

So readers,I need you to ask me any question about the story you don't understand,it might be the story line,characters or space of occurrence!. I will be most glad to answer you.

As I wait for your question/s,let me start preparing updates.










Typing,.........

"Can you believe Mrs. Kiara(mama) just withdrew some money few minutes ago?. About 10minutes before you came into the bank." The manager told the General who hit the desk soon as he heard what he said.



"Damn it!!!. How can that be?. How can it be mama?. Wait!!!. Is it true this ghost truly exist as said?." The General asked without expecting any reply.



He took his phone and rang Jack up immediately as he walked out of the office, heading straight for the exit door.



"Hello jack. Anything?."



"No sir! Nothing, we've seen no one come near your car."



"Damn it!!!." The General said angrily as he ended the call.



What complications have i gotten myself into, he thought. He felt like ringing papa up to tell him he wasn't interested in the case again but soon as he remembered his tyres, he changed his mind.



"What connection does my tyres and Amy's have to do with this ghost appearance?. The note!. Who had written it?. Oh God!!!. More to my dismay, a ghost coming to the bank to withdraw money from an account it operated when alive. It just can't be possible."


I think there might be a mole somewhere. It is either around me or may be they might be tracking our calls and movement. Can Amy dislodge any info to people?. Can she be the mole?. No!. She definitely can't be. I have trusted her and she's never given me a reason to doubt her. Jack and the other boys?. No!. They knew nothing about this case until today. They can't be the mole, they understand all protocol in this job.


If I should think it is not a ghost. Then someone is really behind all this, to come to the bank and withdraw. But on the other hand, if ghost stories are true, then I have to accept this event the way it has. Truly, there is a ghost and to save my head from untimely death or torments, I think I have to abandon this case.


These were the General's thought as he made to press the door knob another thing came into his mind. Banks are supposed to have surveillance or security cameras mouthed at every place in the bank or around it.

Should I go back and ask if the camera might have caught her footage when she came to withdraw?. The General asked his thought. More so, I have never heard may be ghost can be seen with cameras or not. I think my best bet is to go back and see whether the cameras might have caught her coming into the bank and leaving as well. It should confirm my fears or worsen it.

The General turned back and into the Manager's office he went. The Manager was surprised he was back as he quickly ended the call he was on.


"Hope no problem sir?. Did you forget anything?." He said feeling somewhat suspicious.



"No, I didn't but I want to ask if I could view the surveillance camera of the bank for the past 30minutes." He said as he made to seat down.



"Hmmmmmm!!!. Give me some few seconds so I can inform the operator someone needs to view the log of the past few minutes so he could take it back(rewind) and give the footage of all movement within the last 30minutes." The Manager said as he left his office.


It took the Manager almost 5minutes to get back from wherever he might have gone to inform the computer analyst someone needed to view the surveillance camera.


He came back and apologised for taking the General's time and asked him to come along.

They got to the room and the Manager asked that the camera be played from the point of opening the banking hall at 7am. They viewed every minute of all that happened. Sometimes the General asked the camera be slowed down while sometimes paused, but they didn't get any woman on a wheelchair who came to withdraw.


The General started sweating inside Air-condition as he asked the computer analyst he wanted to see all movement outside the bank for the past hours too but he got nothing relevant to the woman on a wheelchair who had come to withdraw.

The General almost ran insane at that moment. It looked as if he had been on drugs and was short of it. He felt queasy and looked like someone who needed his drugs(cocaine) badly. He started sweating profusely all his shirt was wet. He slumped into a chair for some minute to think what next to do as the Manager ask him to calm down.


He has got no clue of what this case had caused the General but he felt it didn't require much trauma he was going through. Even if money were involved. It still needs some perfect peace and plans to get to the bottom of the matter.

If the General was trying to use force to get to the root of the matter. It might not pay off well ,might not even get the required results. He needed to reason logically or traditionally if I may say. There is much to be afraid of now, cause it seems they are really dealing with ghost.


Before the Manager could ask the cameras be brought back to real time. They had miss what had happened outside.
