CHAPTER 1
Inside Chief Oltin's office.
"tell me Titi have you gotten a new job?" Chief Oltin asked.
"Not at all sir." she replied.
"So why are you playing with your job. I expected more from you but your overall performance was not up to par." He informed.
She kept quiet and waited for him to continue.
"I thought you said me we were the only one bidding for the estate. So how come we lost the deal?" He asked.
"I was very suprised too because when I got the reply for our bid, I learnt there are no competitors for the business." Titi replied.
"Fine, so how come the eventual winner of the deal knew we bidded seventy million?" He asked.
"That I don't know o." She replied.
"Who is the highest bidder? Who was able to pay above seventy million naira?" He asked.
"Meyler group of companies." She replied.
"Mey... What!?" He said hitting his fist on the table angrily.
"Meyler? Again?"
Titi kept quiet and was looking at her boss.
"But why is it that Meyler is always there to stall all my business aspirations? This is the third time he is blocking me in two months." Oltin lamented.
The reason for their rivalry was not far fetched. Meyler was formerly an ex-business associated with Oltin but along the line, Oltin overtook Meyler and accepted a contract from the British government. They had vowed to make each other pay for it. But Meyler seems to be playing his cards well as he had defeated Oltin three consecutive times. The first time being a bid to become a crude oil distributor, but Meyler won the case based on the fact that he was well connected with the peopla in government. The incubent Vice president was Maeyler's friend. The second defeat came when the Oltin was approached by the chinese government over a joint establishment of a car company in Nigeria, but Meyler went ahead and sealed the deal even before the letter could reach Oltin and now the estate business.
"You can go." He dismissed her with a wave of hand.
"Get Sall for me." He ordered her retreating figure.
Sall was the head of his security(Body guards/thugs) who had been working with him for the past fifteen years.
-------------------
Raymond was seated in a corner inside a popular club house known as TroPPY vip spot. His table was filled with drings and assorted dishes ranging from peper soup, both beef and chicken, barbeceu and many more.
Suddenly his eyes caught something of interest.
"This opportunity no go pass me by." He muttered to himself as he walked towards a very beautiful lady who sat at the other end of the room vertically opposite his seat.
As he appproached the lady, his heartbeat began beating real hard and faster than normal. But he waved it aside like he wasn't nervous. "There is no going back."
"It would be a very great honour if i am opporrtuned to sit with a beauty like you." He began.
The lady ignored him and at that time intensified her rate of concentration on her phone. It seems like she was pinging.
He felt defeated but he won't give up. Then he tried another approach.
"Hello." he said.
"Hi." She replied after ten seconds.
"Is this seat taken?" he asked.
"Why this seat of all empty seats around here?" She asked typical of a normal Nigerian answering a question with another question.
"It is because i want to grab the opportunity of sittng with a beauty like you." He replied.
She smile for the first time since the begining of their conversation. He used that opportunity to look at her features. Mere looking at her while sitting down, she should be about 5ft'6' tall, moderate shape, moderate burst, fair in complexion. She was a beauty to behold.
"You are most welcomed." She said pointing to an empty seat in front of her.
"Thank you." He replied as he sat down.
"My name is Raymond Meyler, the son of the famous billionaire. May i know your name?"
"Before then why aren't you taking anything?" He asked further. "Barman." He beckoned on the man in charge of seving foods and drinks.
"No don't bother." She cautioned.
"Hey relax, the bill is on me." He assured.

PROLOGUE
- A black limousine pulled up in front of Mag.oltin shopping mall, a chauffer came out and opened the door of the owners corner. A young man in his mid twenties alighted and walked into the shopping with the chauffer closely behind him.
- "Mummy I am off to the beach, you know it's my friends birthday and I need to be part of the fun." Nadia said to her mother who wassitting down comfortably in her well furnished office which stood on the west wing of Mag.oltin shopping mall, the largest shopping mall in West Africa and the joint second largest in the whole of Africa.
"No problem. Just make sure you stay in the shallow part of the beach and come back on time." Magret Oltin the CEO of Mag.oltin shopping mall adviced her daughter, Nadia.
"Thank you mummy." She said as she ran out of the office in excitement.
- "Ow! Am very sorry." She screamed as she bumped into a young man who was obviously doing some shopping.
"Oh my God! Can't you see properly or are you wearing a veil?" Raymond said angrily.
"I said am sorry." Nadia said as she bent down to assist the chauffer in picking up Raymon's cell phone.
"Learn to look at your front next time." Raymond adviced.
Nadia ignored him and walked out of the shopping mall.
- "Rukiat, take this is the key to the car you requested for." Major Gen. Anderson said to his only daughter as he handed a car key to her.
"Waoh! Thank you daddy. I love you so much." she said as she hugged her father tightly.
"Anything for you my princess." He replied.
Rukiat ran down the stairs into the garrage where a brand new Range rover sport 2014 model stood before her.
She unlocked the door and entered the car.
"I love you daddy." She muttered as she switched on the ignition.
- "Secretary, how much did you say the estate will cost us?" John Oltin, a business tycoon also a billionaire asked his secretary.
"Seventy Million naira sir." the secretary replied.
"Okay go to the account department with this and work on it." John ordered his secretary who collected a memo sheet on which eighty million naira withdrawal was stated.
- "Raymond, where are you?" Chief David Meyler a business tycoon, also a billionaire asked over the phone.
"Dad, am just coming back from Mag.oltin."
"Come back here quickly, we have a deal." Cheif Meyler ordered.

I feel for you my sister. If we all decide to vent our anger at the data loss, no one will write on here anymore but we have to move on stronger.

Flakkydagirl: I feel lost here....i used to think Nairaland was safe until this recent attack......

Flakkydagirl: MH family please have a say,



Do you think i should just continue from where i stopped?


I'll be waiting for your comments.............

Believe me, since the inception of NL, no writer has written a story that accumulated over 200,000+ views. Don't you think you can make it happen again if you start from the scratch? Am a bad adviser tho. Even me can't do what i just advised u to do. But believe me, you can do it.
Abeg make pple no lash me o. Just my 2cents....

I don't know o... If every lost data gets restored then we resume but if it didn't.....

poshest: D9ty7 whats going to happen to fight for power now?

Dear Nairalanders... Endeavour to share the data loss affected you or your threads...
Am still hurting from the loss so I'll be posting mine later

I still av evri reason to be thankful to God. I av 3 stories on here butI lost one... Sum pple av 1 story which has made them gain popularity but they lost it all...
Thank You Jesus.... Seun u nid to reply my tweets...

Me I won't talk o.... I lost many things... The last three chapters of the undercover agent is gone... Chapter 1-9 of The fight for power is nowhere to be found. And i saw someone call d9ty7 a writer. I was once a writer but not anymore.
The only backup av got is my manuscript nd I possibly can't go back to square one.....
Seun come say something o

Its not funny at all...

Dygeasy: lol! My brother aff vex

Am out

Am sorry Flakky for the loss of your story. Actually I lost a complete story. I believe Seun will do something about it cos I can't afford to have wasted my time here putting up my stories for free only for some enemy of progress to hack NL. This shows there is no security here and I have known more about NL and its officials.
Discouragement of the highest order. Who told you d9ty7 used to write? Am a reader until further notice.

Lucky you.... My story was completely wiped off... "The fight for power." if this issue is not resolved btw now and monday.. Na crious heartbreak o... I cant restart it...

stefikal: From page 65 to 35...

This is really sad...

I really feel bad for other writers whose stories were completely wiped off...

Thank God for my blog else I have no idea what I'd be saying now, I have no Laptop where I could have saved the draft...

*sighs*

Let's all pray things get back well and this issue is entirely resolved.

Hope you all are good?

This useless data loss tells me more abt NL.

"Good afternoon Stephanie." Richard greeted bringing her out of her reverie.
"Richie! How have you been?" Stephanie asked.
"Fine." Richard replied.
"How is everybody, i learnt granny is dead?" she asked.
"Oh! Yeah, she died two years ago." Richard replied.
"I learnt Aunty Clara is back from Australia?" she asked.
"Yeah. She said the cold is unbearable." Richard replied chuckling.
Stephanie gave a short laugh.
"I am here on the issue of former president Lujan."
"What about it?" Richard asked.
"I want to appeal his case before his jail term elapse." Stephanie replied.
"How do you go about that?" Richard asked.
"I have all the necessary evidence, all i need now is man power to get the killers arrested."
"But the police are in the best position to help. And moreso, am no longer a serving agent, there is a limit to how i can handle guns except it is for my personal safety." Richard explained.
"Don't worry we'll have backup from the SIU. " Stephanie replied.
"Okay, am in." Richard responded.
"Thank you very much." Stephanie said rising up to leave.
Richard walked to the exit.
"How is Anna or are you guys no longer together? What of Eric, he should be in highschool now?"
Richard smiled sadly.
"Those two are dead." he said as hot tears rolled out of his eyes.
"Tell me how did it happen?"
Richard tried to speak but no word came out.
"I can see you are not in your right state. I'll come back to check on you." Stephanie said and left.
-------
"Rodger, you have a choice to make now or you loose on both ends. Remember if you say no, i kill you and your mother, then you loose the chances of having full protection." Briggs said to a brutally punished Rodger who sat down tied to a chair.
"Please don't kill me, don't kill my mum." Rodger begged.
"I won't but your fate remains in your hands." Briggs replied.
"I can't join the group, its dangerous and evil." Rodger defended as he attracted more punches to his face.
"Give him the third phase." Briggs said and walked out.
One of the men who guarded him walked to a switch circuit. Put it on. Just then Rodger bagan shaking vigorously as a result of the electrocutive circuit connected from the switch to the chair.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......rrrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrrrr" Rodger made some noise.
Just as he was about loosing his breath he managed to speak.
"I. I a.....am......iiiiin." he managed to say.
Just then the switch was turned off.
"Good boy." The man said happily.

"Tedd Gross is our man! Vote for Tedd Gross! No more Conolly! No more Colony! We want our freedom! We are tired of suffering! Save us from servitude!" Some angry protesters were chanting round the city. Tearing and burning campaign poster of incubent president Mike Conolly, and destroying public materials such as roadside waste baskets, street light poles to mention a few.
"Whaooo.........." the police siren sounded from afar.
"Everybody your hands up!" the policemen yelled at the angry protesters.
"Attack them." the leader of the protest commanded as the angry mob attacked the police van. Hitting it with logs of wood, planks and even iron bars. Breaking the windscreen in the process and destroying lights bumps.
The policemen released tear gas to stop them but only a few turned back while the rest continued closing in on the retreating policemen.
"Open fire!" the chief commander of the police force yelled as his men opened fire like he said and began killing the protestants. The rest who were not hit by the bullets took to their heels and ran for their dear lives.
------
The doorbell rang.
"I'll go get it." Nancy said as she walked towards the door.
She opened the door to reveal a female figure, a womam probably in her mid forties, round faced, a little bit robust, full lips, cat eyed and a full hips.
"Good afternoon." Barrister Stephanie said to Nancy who was carried away by looking at her.
"Yes, how may i help you?" Nancy asked.
"Is this Mr Sylvester's residence?" Stephanie replied with a question.
"Yes." Nancy replied.
"Tell him Barrister Stephanie is here." Stephanie said.
"Come in." Nancy said opening the door wider.
Nancy led the way and Stephanie followed her closely. They got into the living room.
"Sit down and make yourself comfortable while i go get him." Nancy said politely pointing to a vacant couch directly opposite the television.
Barrister Stephanie sat down comfortably as she was looking round the room admiring the nice artistic decoration that adored the living room. Her curiosity grew when she saw Richard's wedding photograph with Anna directly beside the wedding photograph with Nina.
"This man must have remarried. Ann Anna is such a lovely woman." she said to herself.
Just then Richard walked into the sitting room.

I must confess, i made d mistake of my life by reading & commenting on this thread. To be frank its all shit.
You have no writing attributes, the best you can be is a reader.
But if u have passion for writing, you should check out correct stories, where you can gain and not some stories that are unecessarily long and comedy based.
Even me as a writer is also a learner, i hoped i could learn a thing or two from ur story but was suprised when i read d 1st update.

You are not criticizing. Then what are you doing? Every writer needs criticism(constructive tho) to get better.

Spiff20: Am not criticizing tho, but anyone who is a staunch fan of 24 will know that the storyline of this piece was gotten from it, only few editing touches to make it look a little bit different, including the names e.g nina was in 24,same to keeler and bill, habib was a terrorist in 24 but here the H was removed. Everything about the story reminds me of 24, i stopped reading from page 3 cos i could predict the next line of action, so there was no suspense at all. We want something different. Good job tho..my 2cents.

I watched 24 and am sure most of the people reading the story watched the blockbursting movie too.
1. On the issue of naming(i mean the xters) : It is normal to use names that one heard in a film. Those names are possible foreign names i could put into writing.
2. A writer makes reference to movies and stories he/she had read.
3. I said from the start that i am not a crime fiction writer. I just wrote this story cos i wrote it for writing sake, never knew i'll ever post it on naraland.
4. If the story looks like 24, am sorry cos i wrote what i could think of.
5. You stopped on the 3rd page. You should have told me since i started, so i can suspend it.
6. Why don't you try and resume reading and see what other updates are made off. But if you discover there is no difference then you can do anything.
7. Thanks for your observations tho!

Maybe you'll be the next and the first female field agent.

gennysq: D9ty7! U see ursef nah, becus of u am now dreaming dat I'm an agent dat is shooting ♌ fighting.


As long as am shooting evil pple. No wahala

Keep shooting as long as you still av groundnuts. But in case u nid more contact ur................. Service provider.

"Lujan, i want us to appeal this case. Just give me the go ahead and i'll order my secretary to send the letter to the court of appeal." Barrister Stephanie said.
"After how many years?" Lujan asked.
"Believe me, we'll pull this through." Stephanie replied.
"Okay." Lujan doubted.
"You know after i lost your case, i lost virtually all my clients. Everything is just going bad. But i know we'll win and this will boost up my career." Stephanie replied as tears rolled out of her eyes.
"Go ahead." Lujan said.
"Thank you." she replied.
Lujan nodded his head in response.
"But, what evidence do you have on the case?" he asked.
"Senator Ken's car is still in police custody. It could be helpful, you know there could be a sort of contact between his killers and the car." Stephanie explained convincingly.
"Are you sure?" Lujan asked.
"Yes, and moreso, i'll have Richard Silvester contacted. He could be of help." She replied.
"Time is up." the prison guard informed.
"I'll be back to check you." Stephanie said as she stood up to leave.
"Did you hear anything from Katherine(his wife)?" Lujan asked.
"Not at all but i'll keep searching for her." Stephanie replied as Lujan was being led back to his cell.
------
"What do you wanna talk to me about?" Nancy asked.
"It's about your friend Rodger." Richard replied.
"what about him?" she asked.
"I don't trust the boy, even though i am yet to meet him but my instinct has a series of doubt about him." he replied.
"Doubt? Rodger is a good guy." she said.
"That was then. It's almost three years you saw him last. You don't know his new behaviors or even the friends he move with." Richard counselled.
"But dad....." she was saying.
"I understand you perfectly and am not against you being friends with him. I just want you to be extra careful when dealing with him. You know i love you and i don't want to see you get hurt." Richard cuts in.
"Okay dad. I love you too." She replied.
-----
"I Mike Conolly wish to announce and endorse myself as the presidential candidate for the next year election. Here are my agendas.
One. Basic healthcare in all health centres nationwide.
Two. Agricultural development.
Three. Signing a treaty with the federal republic of Nigeria in importation of crude oil. The first of its kind in the history of this nation.
Four. A security agency would be established to fight Terrorism. It would work in accordance to laid down rules......" Incubent president Mike Conolly was making his pledge before a large number of the citizens for his campaign for the forthcoming election.
"Gboooooooom" There was a loud gunshot aimed at the president.
