Jonathan opened the door of his house, walked in, and switched the lights on. His house was a room and parlour self contain, located at the very end of compound, among seven other stand alone buildings in the compound. He had made a reputation of a line wolf in his community, he had no one he talked with, no one even talked to him, if he had resumed work in the morning, he would resume back home late at night, thus he had no one talking with.

Jonathan slumped himself on the three sitter and looked towards the table only to see invitation card he had threw immediately he drove out of the mart he had gone to deliver goods.

He slowly stood up and picked up the card, paid close attention to it and noticed it was the same card, nothing changed.

Without thinking further he roughed the card and walked towards his window, opened the frames and threw the card off.

He turned around and was speechless, seeing the same card on the table, the same position it was earlier.

"Jophiel" Jonathan called out, standing rooted to the ground.

A black cat walked out from the back of the chair, staring at Jonathan who was fuming with anger.

"You should try mingling with people, especially someone as beautiful as this girl" the cat said and jumped on the table, placed it paw on the card and said it a little bit forward.

"Have you been stalking me? "

"Not really, some twelve tail spirit still roam, it's my job to eradicate them, and you know I am a good friend of yours "

Jonathan raised up his right hand and stalked out the finger between the thumb and the middle finger, moved it about and spoke.

""First, you don't get to stalk me, second I am not your friend, third, I can't risk loving again, it's not meant for me, she'll die earlier than her time"

Jophiel took his angelic form and walked closer to Jonathan

"She is different, you'll find out once you get closer to her"

Jonathan heaved and turned towards the window.

"Why are you really on earth? "

Jophiel muttered some inaudible words and took few steps backward, with his head kept low.

"The Holy Grails went missing from the White Wing, the Seraphs that guarded it were ambushed by Demonic angles that transformed to angels of light" Jophiel said and continued "I and Zadakiel were tasked to return it, but Zadakiel was killed, I lost a reasonable amount of my powers, I can't return to heaven and I'm stuck here on earth" Jophiel finally concluded.

"What does that mean?"

"When the moon and sun align, an evil force will be unleashed through the Grails and the evil things you experience here on earth will only grow worse, the Seven deadly sins will be fully powered and have total domination even over the strongest of all faiths " Jophiel replied and let out a loud sigh.

"Hmmm"

"Come on, she'll be waiting for you, take the card and go " Jophiel said with a broad smile and stretched his hand at Jonathan who grabbed it firmly and returned the gesture of the smile.

Jonathan came to a running landing at a very dark discreet area, dressed in black suit, which fitted him perfectly, he withdrew his wings into himself and took a brief look at his wristwatch, the time was fifteen minutes after eleven at night.

The card tucked into his breast pocket, Jonathan retrieved it as he approached the bouncers, who stepped aside, allowing him entry as he tendered the pass.

The party was one with class, not for common men, Jonathan looked around, if he had not run something better than this before his redemption, he would have been taken by awe. But this was class but no where near the seven star mega club he had when he was the devil himself.

"I believe you are bothering what belongs to me" Jonathan said and tapped the man who was pestering Helen who tried as much to ignore the persistent man.

The man turned around, with a wide grin on his face.

Jonathan had seen this at all time, men trying to prove their the alpha males in situations like this, but it always ended in tears, but tonight he wasn't ready for such.

"I'm sorry, but huhhm, you'll have to excuse her, she's with me" Jonathan said with a smile, both hands tucked in his pockets.

The man scoffed at walked out, brushing Jonathan on the shoulder as he walked passed.
Helen stood up, revealing her full glory, dressed in red glittering gown, she adjusted Jonathan's suit, with a broad smile on her face and offered him the seat before her, a round table separating them both.

"You look different, more handsome and official " Helen said, unsure about the right words to use in complimenting Jonathan.

"Thanks, you're... Permit me to say hot" Jonathan said, which threw them both into loud laughter.

"Thanks for making it dear" Helen said and starred deep into his eyes.

They both stood speechless for a long while until they got interrupted by the waiter who came for their order. Throughout the eating, they both kept mute and Jonathan tried to avoid eye contact with her.

"Sorry about the awkward silence, I'm not just good at things like this" Jonathan said and gently laid his spoon.

"It's no problem, I actually needed to say thank you, and probably become good friends" she said and signalled to the waiter.

"The total bill is two hundred thousand " the waiter said, and checked some boxes on the paper with him.

"Alright" Helen said and moved her hand to where she kept her bag only to discover it was missing.

She tried composing herself, but it was almost impossible as Jonathan noticed it.

"I hope this pays for it" Jonathan said and revealed a gold coin on his palm.

***
***

Helen sighed as they both walked towards her car, her purse missing was not something she thought would happen. She opened the driver's door and was shocked to see her purse laying on the dashboard.

A huge black cat meowed from a dark corner which caught both her and Jonathan's attention.

"You won't believe, I left the purse here, come on, we can pay in cash and get back your gold, that's too precious to loss" She said and grabbed Jonathan firmly by the hands.

"It's of no use" Jonathan replied with a broad smile.

Sound of breaking bottles came from the dark path where the black car was earlier, and from the alley, two husky looking men came out with bottle on their hands and from the exit door of the club, the man who was pestering Helen showed up, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"I saw you give that waiter gold, almost a million naira, just like that, and I am sure there is more from where that came from, and this lady could be a plus, she's damn hot" the man said wickedly and let out a horrible laughter.

"See, we don't want trouble, just let us go" Helen said and walked towards the man.

The man smirked and next landed a heavy slap on Helen's face, which sent her straight to the ground. Seeing this Jonathan lost his temper, brewing with anger, he could feel his wings threatening to burst out from his back.

Helen pulled herself up, already with swollen lips, she looked at Jonathan, like she expected him to fight back on her behalf.

"Gold or I'll hit her the second time"

"That's if you have the hands to do so" Jonathan said and next a heavy wind picked the man up off his feet and slammed him against the metal waste bin.

Fear ran through Helen's spine. Jonathan turned to face the two other men and elevated into the air, his white huge wings flapping through the air.

Same thing that happened to the first man, repeated itself on the others, sending them all unconscious.

Jonathan turned to Helen still in mid air, and looked on with blank expression on his face. Helen stood still in shock, her legs failed her, practically she was not functioning.

Jonathan in one flap of the wings, went into the sky, almost as fast as a rocket.

***

This piece is the nicest thing I have seen today.. Really appreciate what you're doing ma'am

Jonathan stood before the wall mirror in his washroom, he scooped a reasonable amount of water into his palms and washed his face with it, let out a loud sigh and grabbed the face towel which was neatly hanged beside the mirror.

He towelled his face and walked out into his room only to find a huge black cat seated on the three sitter lathered chair in his room.

"Even God does not invade ones privacy like you do" Jonathan said and threw the towel on the cat.

"You saw what happened yesterday? " the cat replied as it transformed into Jophiel.

Jonathan kept mute, he knew something was up in the other realm, and one way or the other he was going to be pulled into their mess, so he had to try as much as possible to avoid whatever it was.

"No, what happened?" he replied as he walked towards his wardrobe and scanned through the numerous clothes in it.

"Impossible, if you didn't witness it, you should have heard of it" Jophiel replied.

Jonathan made an unpleasant face and turned around to face Jophiel.

"What do you want with me, this visit is becoming annoying"

"Hopefully, the host don't resort to you, I chased down another twelve tailed demon"

Jonathan sighed and pulled out a grey shirt from the wardrobe.

"Last time was the same thing, I don't care whatever you chase, I don't want you visiting again, you lots should just let me be" Jonathan said.

"Your hairs, the due is going off, why can't you let the white hairs be, father gave you that as a promise of redemption and yet you keep turning it black, you can't hide that forever" Jophiel said and disappeared.

"ARRRGHHH! Annoying set of angel" Jonathan said in frustration and walked back into the washroom, scrutinized his hairs and immediately began to prepare black dye he would use on it.

***

Jonathan resumed work about fifteen minutes past eight, after penning down his resumption time in the time book, he walked to the boss office.

"Good morning sir" Jonathan greeted his boss who smiled broadly at him, something that had never happened.

"Johnny, your last delivery yesterday, you'll be making another delivery there this morning, the lady specifically want you to deliver it, she gee extra tip to give you, here" the boss said and slipped an envelop over to Jonathan.

Reluctantly and without taking his eyes off the boss, Jonathan picked up the envelop, without bothering to check the amount in it, he dipped it into his pocket and picked up the key on the table.

"I'll be leaving sir"

The boss only muttered and signalled Jonathan to leave.

***

Jonathan pulled up the truck before an orphanage and alighted, walked towards the donation box and opened the envelop, brought out the money and began to slot them into the box through the tiny opening in it, it was then he realised the cash totalled fifteen thousand naira.

"That man, always shows up on 28th of every month, to make donation of fifty thousand naira and today he shows up at the middle of the month" A man dressed in white robe, with yellow gird around his waist said from the upper floor of the inner building and watched as Jonathan walked back into the van and drove off.

***
***

Jonathan drove in into the premises of the super mart and noticed some things were changed, the unfinished works yesterday were completed and it had already began full functionality. He opened the metallic door of the mart and walked in, headed towards the cashier's table and spoke to the young lady at the counter.

"I'm asking of Miss Helen, I need her to sign the delivery papers" Jonathan said, and breathed in the chill air from the air conditioner in the mart.

"Oh, you must be Mr. Jonathan right? "

"Yes"

"Well, she is unavailable Now, she asked you to either give her a call or wait, she won't be long" the lady said trying to be as customer friendly as possible.

"Give her a call, I'll wait outside" Jonathan replied and walked out.

He immediately began to offload the boxes, taking them right into the store building, which was on the left side of the compound.

Jonathan offloaded the final box, locked the doors of the store and just then a Lexus Jeep drove in and parked beside him.

The door opened and Helen alighted, with a broad smile on her face, her perfume smelt nice which made Jonathan a little bit relaxed.

"I'm sorry I came late, Gladys called me, although I was expecting you to place the call" Helen said, giggled between her words so as not to sound too pushy.

"I don't have a phone" Jonathan replied and walked pass her towards the van and closed the doors.

"That's new" Helen said under her breath and walked up to Jonathan who was already stretching the form towards her.

After appending her signature, she reached for her pocket and brought out a purple card.

"Here, I hope you'll make it, it's a little way of saying thank you for saving my life, that's a special invite to a party at Ijoka" she said, trying to avoid eye contact with Jonathan.

Jonathan sighed, without saying a word turned around, entered into his van, threw the card on the dashboard and drove off.

A Walk With The Devil

Jonathan alighted the delivery van and walked towards the back, ever since his redemption he had decided to keep a low profile and let no one knew about his powers, he had shut put anything that had to deal with love out from his life.

His thousands years alive had thought him never to do anything love, the pain of watching his children die right before his eyes, his wives dying right before his very eyes and him never ageing or even wrinkling, his life was not worth it.

He opened the doors of the van and pulled the first box towards him with ease, the job was to deliver the boxes to the clients mini ware house.

He closed his eyes as he felt a strange presence behind him, that which was not of human and spoke.

"Will you stop coming to me in that cat form, or one day I'll have to strangle you off all your nine lives " Jonathan said and turned around, his hands tucked in the pocket of his leather jacket.

Before him was a huge black cat, with glittering eyes. The cat stood on all fours and purred at Jonathan before turning into a human form.

"Better, talk to me angel to man "

The cat fully transformed into a thirteen feet tall human, dressed in ancient war armors, girded around the waist, with two two swords on both sides of his waist.

"Jophiel" Jonathan said and looked up at him "What message do you bring? "

"Nothing, I chased a twelve soul demon down here, so I decided to pay you a visit" Jophiel said with a wide smile.

"Thanks "

Jophiel bowed his head, with a longing look on his face.

"Is something wrong? "

"No, hopefully it doesn't escalate down to earth, farewell human" Jophiel said and suddenly bright light filled the entire place and when it died down he was gone.

Jonathan sighed and turned back to lift the box.

***

Jonathan parked the car before a brown two storey building with an inscription of HONOR DELIVERY on the roof top. He pushed the heavy glass door open and walked in, he walked towards the lady on the reception desk and heaved before speaking.

"You're back, early as usual, the boss asked you to see him in his office " The lady said and gave a bright smile before resuming work back on the computer.

Jonathan ran up the stairs and walked through the corridor of the upper floor and knocked on the third door on his left and went in after hearing the order to.

"Tina said you ask of me" Jonathan said looking straight into the eyes of the pot bellied man sitting comfortably on the leather office chair, his legs on the table.

"Yes, I really admire how diligent you are with this job, can you make a final delivery for today, a new store opened around Alagbaka axis, and we would be supplying them with canned foods, the truck is already loaded, since you dont like having partners, you'll see the address on the dashboard of van 205"

Jonathan nodded his head and immediately took his leave without uttering any word.

***

Jonathan drove the red van into the premises of the super mart, and parking the van in a much more suitable position that'll allow him ease of off loading the goods. The mart sure still had some finishing touches to be made on it, the security doors were still on progress, the halogen bill board was also still on going, the floor were still rough looking.

"Good evening" Jonathan greeted the working men and opened the back door of the van.

"I'm asking of Miss. Helen" Ko than said calmly hoping one of them would reply, since he didn't directed the words to anyone specifically.

"Who's asking?" a well toned, dark skinned lady asked, as she walked out of the mart, smartly dressed in a yellow gown that brought out all of her curves.

"I came for delivery, so I'll be needing her to sign the papers" Jonathan replied, with no expression on his face.

"Alright, where do I sign?"

The weather suddenly changed from a cool day to a complete opposite, the clouds turned dark, while the sun changed completely to a red fury one, thunder and lightning followed next, with loud rumbles filling the entire earth

Two figures could be seen in the sky, fighting against each other and within a flash, both were gone.

Lightning struck, directly at Helen, who was carried away with the strange occurrence. Sensing this, Jonathan dived before her, intercepted the thunder bolt which struck him hard.

Helen let out a loud scream as Jonathan crashed into her, yet even at the force at which the thunder bolt struck him, he was still holding firm to Helen, using his entire body to shield her.

His entire cloth shredded, leavingbhis upper body bare with no sign of bruises no matter how little. His eyes met with Helen's who was in total shock at the quick event that unfolded, dumbfounded, words failed her at this point.

"Are you okay? " Jonathan asked as he carefully pulled her up, this time the weather already got back to normal.

"You.... just.. " Helen stammered pointing to the sky.

***
***

Jonathan finally offloaded the last of the goods into the mart, and locked up the doors of the van, just then Helen walked out.

"Hey, Jonathan right? " She asked and continued "Thanks for today and here" She said and handed over a blue nylon to him which contained a black shirt.

Jonathan only nodded and wore the shirt on himself.

"Thanks for risking your life to save mine, but something still baffles me, no single trace of burnt, even though I saw it clearly that it struck you"

Jonathan gave a blank look and walked into the van, without looking back at her, he drove off.

Apprentice 7

Lord Wumi watched as Feta descended down the throne, with red glowing eyes, a sign of pure evil. Holding tight to the purple orb, Feta smiled wickedly as his spear grew in size and roughness.

"I Now see what it means to have true powers" Feta said and pointed his spear at Lord Wumi "Is this what you have been hiding, you have the ability of infinite powers and yet you never told us"

Lord Bunmi looked at Lord Wumi in disbelief

"Is it true? "

"It changes nothing" Lord Wumi replied

"After I am done with you both, I'll make all beast bow to me, maybe murder those stubborn Lords of low ranks if they try to stop me" Feta said and elevated into the air.

Feta's hairs raised up as the dark energy flowed through his body, he now had the powers of element manipulation, gravity altercation, increased strength and heightened sense.

"Do you know about the legend of the sleeping dragon? " Feta asked, this time making his voice echo through the entire castle, which followed by thunder claps.

"What do you mean by the sleeping dragon? that's myth" Lord Wumi replied with a countenance of fear

"No no, it's not, the history of this forbidden castle, all souls were sucked up by it, before it was laid to eternal sleep, you didn't just felt the evil from the other side, I made you feel it, now enough of the chat"

Lord Wumi leaped into the air towards Feta and shot a fireball at him before smacking him on the face.

Feta lost balance and smashed against wall, he groaned and raised up his head, with eyes burning with flames.

From nowhere came lightning which struck Wumi from behind, shredding his clothes into burnt pieces. Lord Bunmi saw this and knew nowhere on earth could anyone defeat Feta.

Lord Bunmi summoned out his beast bear and a blue glowing shield on his right arm, a blue glowing sword on the left.

"I'll burn you down" Feta shouted and picked up pace as he approached Lord Bunmi.

He threw the first punch which Lord Bunmi blocked off with his shield and quickly used his left elbow to smack Feta on the face.

Lord Bunmi scrapped Feta off his feet, and before he could touch ground, he rammed his right leg on Feta's stomach which sent him off crashing against the throne which shattered immediately.

Feta smirked as he raised into the air, he summoned out his spear and made it split into thousands more, each floating in the air and pointing at Lord Bunmi.

The bear walked forward and stood before its master, with an angered look on its face, it growled and snarled as its due thickened.

"I doubt it" Feta said and smiled, a wicked grin on the left corner of his face.

He tightened his fist, raised it up, In return the spear began to move forward slowly. Feta opened his fist and near invisibility the spears moved forward with maximum speed.

***
***

Imole came to running landing right in front of the castle and walked in, Lord Bunmi's body laying lifeless on the ground with seven spears on him, his beast beside him, breathing it's last. He looked ahead and saw his master also laying unconscious and ran up to him.

"Hey wake up! " Imole said, shaking his master slightly on the shoulder.

Lord Wumi opened his eyes and let out a loud sigh, felt a slight pain on his back and turned around to reveal his burnt back which already was healing, surrounded with what looked like fireflies.

"Place your hands on it, we are healers, our powers are limitless only limited to our thinking" Lord Wumi said, while straining his words.

Imole placed his hands on the burnt area and instantly his hands began to glow, he could feel the wound rapidly healing up.

"What happened here? "

"Feta, he knew about this place from the start, he is going to awake the Sleeping dragon" Lord Wumi said and stood up, looked at his bare chest and got a glimpse of Lord Bunmi laying dead in a horrible way.

"Where is Lord Feta? "

Lord Wumi looked around the castle, unsure about where Feta was, the castle was the only visible thing on the island. He summoned out his lion beast and climbed on it.

"Some unique features of your beast, the lion heart can distinguish people's presence, sniff them out, or track even if traces are gone" Lord Wumi said and slowly his beast led him out of the castle.

They both stood at the very edge of the city gate, which separated the sea from the city, the beast snarled, signalling the end of its trace.

"Below the water " Imole said and knelt down towards the sea.

The sea began to move in an irregular pattern, lots of huge ripples popped up the surface which followed by lightning and thunder, the sky turned dark and from above a pillar of fire descended down right to the middle of the sea.

The sea parted in a circular path and from the opening, various beasts began to troop out in large uncountable numbers.

The sea solidified, went rigid, hard as rock.

"It's too late, nothing can stop him now " Lord Wumi said with his mouth wide agape as huge beasts and demons alike crawled out of the pit.

The pillar of fire slowly died down and out of the pit, came out a huge dragon, burning with flames, the horns were made of flame, the body brewing with larva, that dropped down it's body and melted the beast beneath it. The tail was of hard scales that could not be broken and on it sat Feta.

The beast spread its nightly wings and flapped it which sent strong wings all around, that it sent Imole off balance and Lord Wumi moved back a bit.

"He is headed for the outer world" Lord Wumi said and in one swift bound his beast flew into the air after the dragon.

"This is suicide" Imole muffled and also took to his heel.

He fell down hard to the ground and noticed tow huge balls chained to his legs, it was then he noticed his master had chained him there with his powers.

Lord Wumi made a huge sword of fire come out from his right hand, while he held to the manes of his lion beast as it dived through the air.

The beast roared loudly as it grabbed a beast with its teeth and shred it apart, it dived to the left and grabbed another with its paws, made sharp claws out of them and dug it into the beast in its grasp.

Lord Wumi stretched out his sword and slashed approaching beasts, summoned fireballs on the tip of the sword and shot it at the attacking beasts.

He stood on the back of his flying beast and turned his speed into a red bow, Feta's dragon flying up ahead. Lord Wumi pulled the string of his bow and instantly three arrows formed on it. Taking his perfect aim at Feta, he released the string of the bow.

The arrows, moved with ease, piercing the beasts on their path and still maintaining the maximum speed in which they had been released.

The first arrow narrowly missed Feta passing beside his ear, seeing this Feta turned around, the second arrow pierced through his chest, and quickly he bent down dodging the last.

Imole made a huge axe out from his hand and slashed the chains tied to his right leg, on impact the axe shattered, he made another one and also it shattered.

Feta turned his dragon around and before him, Lord Wumi and his beast looked like flea.

"Lionheart, you have to grow in size" Lord Wumi said and instantly the beast increased in size as huge as the dragon.

Feta chuckled with a wicked grin, his beast opened its burning mouth, and snuffed, which let out black thick fumes from the nostrils.

Without warning, the beast spit out fire from its mouth at Lord Wumi, who was quick to summon out a shield before his beast.

The force of the fire, proved to be so strong, Lord Wumi had to channel more energy into the shield. His beast edged forward, roared loudly and also threw out a white glowing ball from its mouth, which hit the dragon so hard, Feta lost grip and fell off the beast, seeing this Lord Wumi dived down his beast, towards Feta, grabbed him by the neck and screamed as he increased the pace at which they both descended down to the ground.

A sonic boom followed as they touched ground, thick dust in the air. Imole strained as he tried to get himself free, all he used still proved null even his beast could do nothing.

Lionheart circled round the dragon as it spit fire, manipulating the fire dragon which unknowingly burnt down the other beast that tried getting through to the outer world.

Lord Wumi coughed as the dust settled down, a huge crater they had formed on impact to the ground.

"This was my ambition" a furious voice shouted.

A heavy kick landed on Lord Wumi which sent him out of the crater, rolling hard on the ground, he knew Feta was a thousand time stronger than he was, no amount of fight could bring him down, but there was only one way. Give Feta his powers.

Feta pulled Lord Wumi by the hairs and raised him up into the air, and summoned out a sword on the left arm.

"Look at you, your powers are useless"

Lord Wumi placed his right middle finger on Feta's head.

"That's right, pass me your powers " Feta said with a terrible laughter.

Lord Wumi's body began to glow, as his powers flowed into Feta who was happy at the turn out of events.

"So much powers you never use" Feta said.

Feta began to feel uncomfortable, he had reach the peak at which he could contain any more powers, something he never knew was possible.

"Do you feel it?" Lord Wumi asked weakly, as he got drained "You are going to explode, there is no more room to contain any more powers"

"Aaarrghhh!!!!" Feta screamed and drove the sword into Lord Wumi's rib cage, hacked him and pulled out the sword along side some vital organs.

Imole gasped, he knew what had happen, tears in his eyes, he summoned out his spirit bow and shot the chains which broke easily. He climbed on his beast soul which flew into the air, flying at a rapid pace.

Lionheart suddenly fell to the ground, lifeless.

Lord Feta screamed in agony as his body began to break apart, the powers were too much to contain, his skin began to peel off as heat burnt him from within and instantly he exploded.

The wave of the explosion spread round the Island of Solitude, bending every trees, it sent Imole off balance on his beast, quickly his beast got him by the claws before he could touch ground.

He came to a running landing and saw the gruesome sight of his master, ripped into two, he let out a loud scream, which shook the entire foundation.

A huge wolf appeared in distance, it was Dara's beast soul with her seated on it, she alighted the beast and knelt down beside Imole and looked into his eyes with her already swollen eyes.

"Come on, we have to go, this world is dying from outside. "


End..

Apprentice 6


Imole groaned, opened his eyes from where he laid, he could feel his head ache at the back, with his hands tied to his legs, he managed to turn his body around to get a clearer view of what was happening.

Ahead of him were medium sized huts and some few little ones, which served as food store, straining his head to look towards the west, he noticed more huts and some blurry images of humans, he heard footsteps coming towards him, looked towards the direction and saw two locals walking up to him, dressed in animal hides, with daggers hanging around their waste.

"Raise him up" the skinny one said and brought out his dagger.

Imole was roughly pulled to his feet and forced to walk, even when clearly he couldn't. He was led into a huge building which clearly was much more modern than the huts he had seen earlier, it was then he realised he had been at the back yard of his captor's palace.

He was forced to kneel down before a fair skinned man who was seated on a white throne, both resting arms a reasonable distance away from him.

"You trespassed into our lands" the king said and rose on his feet.

Imole got lost of words for a while, there was nothing like boundary war among people, none that he knew of. He looked deep into the King's eye and scoffed before speaking.

"I was on my path to the dark forest when I was attacked " Imole blurted

The guards around began to chant odd songs, with a smooth pattern that somehow sent chills down Imole's spin.

"We inhabit the dark forest, yesterday, three strangers managed to get through, with strange powers " The king said and ordered the guards to untie Imole.

"We have dedicated our entire life to guard this path in any way possible, so it was cursed, what lies on the other path shouldn't be known to anyone" the king said and held Imole's hand as he stood to his feet.

Imole rubbed his wrists softly, the King backing him, Imole wondered what could be so powerful, they had to become cursed to keep it away from people.

"What powers are there?"

"Something monstrous "

"My master, I have to go after him" Imole replied and looked around "Lord Wumi "

The King gasped, took a quick breath and faced Imole with a straight face.

"I sense him in you, Wumi, the tales we've heard about him are good, that means he is there for a good reason, but I don't trust one of them, his aura smells evil, buried in a old skin of good" the King said and placed his right hand on Imole's shoulder.

"You'll be shown the way out, promise me, you'll do the right thing"

Lord Feta leaped after the leader spider and swayed his spear in the air, threw a strike which almost got the spider. With force and a loud screech, the spider used it's fore legs to hit Lord Feta who stumbled hard to the ground.

Lord Wumi and Lord Bidemi resorted to using their Call Force, as the attack on them got more intense, like the more they killed these creepy creature, more kept popping out of no where in particular, already filling the entire castle.

"Watch out! " Lord Bidemi shouted and shot fury skulls put from his hands at a spider that launched itself at Lord Wumi.

Their beast soul, didn't relent in grabbing and throwing, ramming their huge bodies against the attacking demons.

The spider crawled up the walls of the castle, after taking a sever hit on the abdomen, it let out a horrible screech and stucked put it's tongue at Lord Feta, who already had two burning spears on both hands and breathing heavily.

"You are a worthy opponent" Lord Feta said and pointed both spears at the beast.

"I warn you!" the spider screeched again and continued crawling up the wall of the castle, black thick blood, dripping off from its injured leg.

The other spiders also followed suit, each going behind their their leader.

Lord Feta climes to the throne and smiled at the orb, made his spears to fade off and took a long stare at the stone before reaching out for it.

He easily pulled out the staff from the skeleton's grip and gasped as he felt a soft, but yet strong power flow through his body and gasped softly with a wicked grin registered on his face.

"Feta, destroy the stone" Lord Wumi said and walked forward while his beast followed beside him.

"Why? " Feta said, in an entire tone that sounded bold, wide and evil.

"Why? " Lord Wumi asked scornfully and continued "Isn't that what we came for? "

"No, that's what you came for not me" Lord Feta said and turned around to face Lord Wumi.

Both Lord Wumi and Lord Bunmi let out a loud gasp, stucked to their position, staring in disbelief at the deadly transformation that had happened to Lord Feta within that little time frame.

"Feta, you have to drop that staff, it's draining your pure energy"

Lord Feta smiled and spoke.

"I have never felt better in years, taste what this power is" Lord Feta said and struck the staff to the ground which followed next by loud thunder claps outside.

"Will you try and stop me? "

Lord Wumi only signed and summoned out his Diving sword which had ancient inscriptions on it.

"Thought as much" Lord Feta said and began to descend down the throne.

"I hope you can handle me"

The three lords entered through the gates of the city laid in ruins, positioned right in the very middle of the vast ocean, the castle about an hour walk from the city entrance, whatever had happened to the city was not anything good or worth hearing, dried skeletons filled the entire street, remains of children and adults alike, not sparing even animals.

The dried air that moved about had an aura of evil in it, an evil that seemed to be awaken at their uninvited presence.

Lord Wumi looked up at buildings crafted in ways that almost looked impossible, the knowledge of the dead inhabitants were extreme and probably complex for them to had built an entire city from rocks.

"Evil lurks around in every part of this city" Lord Bidemi who seemed to be the reserved in words among them said and made his eyes glow.

"What do you see? " Lord Wumi asked

Lord Bidemi locked around as they walk towards the castle and breathed in loudly before slowly releasing hi breath.

"Darkness"

They all heard a swoosh sound, a presence ran past them about twenty pages ahead. For a while they all stood still, each taking note of their environment.

Soft growls could be heard from the top of the damaged houses.

"Tormented souls, they didn't just died, what ever this city holds, the powers are massive" Lord Bunni said, after he had shifted his body to an entire other realm to see things the ordinary eyes could not.

"It's a good things we came after it, we have to destroy this power, before some other people finally have the courage to pass through the dark forest" Lord Wumi said and led the way.

***

Imole alighted his beast along the path that led to the Dark Forest, walking through the forest path, he noticed the environment let out a strange aura, but he cared less.

A huge stick suddenly smashed his head from behind, which immediately sent him unconscious.

***
***

The huge metal gate that led into the castle, shattered off into pieces, while Lord Wumi powered himself down, his ability of infinite powers had proved to be of great use.

The proceeded into the castle, out of the walls were various status of kings and queens, which looked very ancient, from were statue to another were trails of spider webs, which completely disfigured everything about the interior of the castle, at the end of the castle, was a throne made of gold, which looked new, not affected by the webs and seated on it was a dried skeleton, holding fast to a trident which had a purple glowing gem, glowing right at the centre.

"That's it" Lord Feta said with a grin on his face.

"Intruders!! " a demonic voice said from nowhere in particular, while it's voice echoed through the entire castle.

Huge spiders with human faces crawled out from behind the statues, their eyes were dark as night, soulless, their faces looking pale and malnourished, their canine teeth shooting out from the mouth.

"Cursed us"

A huge spider crawled out from the back of the throne, taking a defense stance right before it.

"We mean no harm" Lord Bunmi said, trying to be calm as possible.

The spider crawled down from the podium, walking with stealth and swiftness, something the Lords had never seen, it's movement was sleek.

"Tell me, why have you come here? " the spider asked followed by a loud hiss.

"We were drawn here by that" Lord Wumi said pointing to the gem on the trident.

"No, that is not entirely true, you want the powers for yourselves, I warn you, it's nothing to toyyyyy with" the spider said with a wide grin, revealing sets of sharp random scattered teeth and a long sticky tongue.

"We perceive it's powers, we came to destroy it, before power greedy people comes for it" Lord Feta said this time.

"SILENCE!!! " the spider shouted at Lord Feta and stared deep into his eyes.

The spider walked back with some few steps and hissed annoyingly at Lord Feta.

"Shall I tell them about your intentions? " The spider said and moved back the more.

The other two Lords took a glance at Lord Feta who was already brewing with anger.

"I have protected this Cursed Gem for millions of years, the heart of human are evil, look up, the bodies of your comrades wrapped in our webs".

They all looked up and saw thousands of body wrapped in webs, hanging above.

Lord Feta looked at the gem and back at the spider, without hesitation he summoned out his red glowing spear, Spear of Fury and attacked the spider, which rolled on its sides and sprang back on the throne, its movement so swift like it had expected the attack.

"Killlllllll themmm all!!!!! "

welcome to Nairaland brother... That's some nice twist in the second to the last update..

Who Ann suppose kill she no kill, ought to pull off those guys balls....

Imole looked down from where he hanged on the body of the erupting mountain, fear gripped his heart looking at the endless fall beneath him. He looked up as larva sprouted into the air and managed to leaped off from where he was, holding firm to a rock and pulled himself up.

Dara watched with anxiety as Imole struggled to scale up the mountain in hope that his desired weapon would be there, there was no way she could help him, it was his sole responsibility and there was no way, he could back down either, once set on it, he must be done with it.

"The bow is right at the mouth of the volcano" Dara shouted and glided the beast towards safety.

Imole knew if he wasted any more moment, it could put his ambition at stake. By his right, he saw a spring board, from the body of the mountain and crawled towards it, a reasonable distance off, he leaped on the springboard and began to bounce on it with cautiousness and sprang with great force.

"Hummmphh" Imole grunted as he grabbed the edge of the opening of the mountain and he could feel the extreme heat from the mountain, if he stayed too long, it could burn him alive.

He stood by the edge, the Spirit Bow on the other side, the rock beneath his left leg fell off, making him loose balance, swaying his hands in circular motion, with his upper body moving forward and backward, his right foot also lost balance which sent him straight into the mouth of the volcano.

Lord Wumi rode his beast behind the other Lords, with his vast and infinite powers, since he was a White Alpha, though even if he wasn't, his years of uninterrupted meditation had seen him through vast energy level, one almost beyond the comprehension of other lords. When he was also an apprentice, he had dedicated his life to extreme meditation, making his body tap into the cosmic realm and tapped on as much energy source as he could, something others found tiring and boring.

He made trails of fire behind his beast which rode with all its might as the strange red eye demons chased hard at them, the advantage they had was there were less number of trees on the path they took, these demons that chased them were at disadvantage of running on bare floors, as they had probably mastered the act of leaping perfectly from one tree to another, almost with total silence.

"There's a light ahead" Lord Feta shouted and urged his grizzly beast to charge forward with greater speed.

***
***

The Cheetah Beast soared higher so they could get a better view. Dara knew for sure Imole was still alive, but in no way was she suppose to help and it bit her hard.

Imole felt really uncomfortable by the heat that burned him and the rising of the larva which shot into the sky every now and then, narrowly missing him or on purpose, either he was lucky nothing had burnt him yet, with the bow on the other end, Imole knew this was the part he had to channel his great force, but he knew he had his limit which wasn't wide enough, still he had to do it.

He pulled himself and while hanging with one hand held to an already burning rock, he found both feet on a stony edge, he closed his eyes and opened them, trying to figure out the pattern of the erupting larva, although he knew the pattern was more of random.

Imole channeled his energy towards his leg, constraining enough adrenaline into every muscles on his feet, Imole took one last breath and leaped towards the bow. He moved his body a little to the left, narrowly dodging the larva that shot beneath him.

Getting closer, Imole stretched out his hand ,with gritting teeth, he finally grabbed the bow with the left hand and held tight to a rock with the left one, the heat becoming unbearable he channeled the last of great force into his hand and pulled out the shiny blue bow from the mountain and climbed out. He noticed immediately he had possession of the bow, the larva greatly subdued like nothing had being there, no trace of any volcanic eruption.

***
***

Lord Wumi leaped off his beast towards the light and at the same time summoned the beast back into him, passing through the light, he landed on the shores of an ocean, he sighed from where he laid and pulled himself up, to his right was Lord Feta who had somehow sustained a slight wound to his face, right beneath the cheek bone on the right section, while Lord Bidemi still tried to catch his breath.

"I think that's where we are headed" Lord Wumi said and pointed to the castle right in the middle of the ocean.

***
***

Getting to earth realm, Imole was handed over the letter Lord Wumi had left behind for him, now it was left to him to learn and grow on his own, no threat was possessed, if what he heard from the locals was true, then he had to go after his master, the bond between both sad undeniable strong. Such was between an apprentice and it's Lord, if a Bond is born out of love and trust, each would go any length to see that no harm came to another.

"I'll go after him" Imole said to Dara who was immediately dumbfounded

"It's either your stupid or brave, but I thing you're really stupid, going through the dark forest alone is a great risk, no one has went there and what we heard are just rumours flying around, they couldn't possibly have gone through there" Dara replied.

As much as Imole tried to hold back, he couldn't the urge was addicting, so strong to resist.

"I'll go alone, I never needed you though" he replied and summoned out his beast soul.

He looked at Dara, as if he was asking her for the last time if she was sure of her decision. Still the blank clueless look on her face, the beast spread out his mighty wings and thrust large quantity of air beneath it and in one swift sway of the wings, it's was already among the clouds.

Note: For some reasons, the main characters name "Seun" has been changed to "Imole (Brightness) "

***
***
Imole woke up to the chattering voices outside his room and yawned as he rolled around on the bed, the door came open and Lord Fera's apprentice walked in, dressed in armour, that yet still retained her perfect shape.

"Your attention is needed outside " she said and immediately took her leave.

Imole stood up lazily and wore a shirt on himself, put on his boots and walked out.

He saw his master standing before a huge, fierce looking white lion with wings, he needed no one to tell him that was his Soul Beast.

"He is here" Lord Wumi said and patted his beast soul calmly around the mane.

"Call out your beast soul " Lord Wumi commanded.

Light red colored fumes began to ooze out from Imole's body and form into the Desert Cheetah which had all its patch glowing bright red.

"You've formed the perfect bound between you and your beast, but there is yet one more thing" Lord Wumi said.

"What? "

"Yesterday, you tapped into the weapon world and used a spirit bow, now you have to journey to that realm to retrieve that weapon, it's a phase you have to go through, it's necessary"

Imole smiled and looked around, from Lord Wumi to the girl, to other Lords that were distance away doing some other things.

"When do we go? "

"No, you'll go alone, you and Dara, you'll both go to the realm and get it" Lord Wumi said calmly, but Imole could sense his spirit was troubled.

"Your spirit is troubled " Imole asked with his eyes wide open.

"While you're gone, there's something I must take care of, but I'll be back then before you are back, trust me".

Lord Feta walked up to them, he had no apprentice, his last apprentice was dead, he still had to have a full balanced power Bond before he thought of having someone else.

"Your journey begins" Lord Feta said and made a portal open

"I don't know anything, or what to expect " Imole said in fear and watched as the girl jumped in.

"She is naive, protect her, I'm not suppose to tell you what to expect, it's part of what makes you"

***

They both ported on top of the tallest mountain. The environment was not what he had expected, fogs literary was the main component, except for the mountains that popped out of it. The cloud above was clear as crystal.

"The weapons mountain, we have to find it, and retrieve our weapons" Dara said and took a quick glance at Imole who already summoned out his beast.

The beast suddenly grew red string wings and bent down for Imole to climb on its back.

"Where is your beast? " Imole asked calmly.

"Wolves don't fly"

"Neither does cheetahs" Imole replied.

"My beast doesn't fly"

"Climb on" Imole said and patted his beast who didn't found the idea pleasing.

***
***

Lord Wumi jumped down his beast soul and summoned it back inside him, while Lord Feta and Bidemi did same also. The Dark Forest wasn't a place anyone should be, it had tales of mysterious death, some even believed a stronger Lord who sought for too much power during the first existence was cast into this particular forest as an eternal punishment.

"In my dreams I saw this forest led to the island of solitude " Lord Feta said and made his body glow, so as to brighten up their path.

They came across three cross path, and topped at the middle, confused of which way to follow.

"Feta, which one do we follow? " Lord Bidemi asked and made a huge spear form out of his hand, immediately he felt strange presences.

"Two are illusions, but which ones? "

"You will never get to the Solitude, the powers are not yours or any to wield, sons of corruption " an ugly voice said from nowhere in particular.

"Show yourself" Lord Wumi shouted and made two huge swords forge out of his hands.

The dark forest began to grow darker and darker and left were thousands of red glowing eyes hanging from every trees in the forest.

"I can't grow my light any brighter" Lord Feta said.

"The road on the left is the right one, there are no much of red glowing eyes through that part" Lord Wumi said.

Loud screeching noises took over and all they could see were red glowing eyes dashing at them.

Fire gushed out of Lord Wumi's sword and he locked the handles of the sword together, turning it into one and slashed it at one of the unknown beast that attacked him.

"We can't kill them all, summon out your beast souls we have to get out of here" Lord Bidemi shouted and made fireballs out of his hands.

***
***

The Cheetah beast soared above the soft crystal clouds, while Imole and Dara scouted for the mountain, even though they had no idea what it looked like.

The beast roared softly, seeing a volcanic mountain distance away, and on its every side were thousand of weapons.

"There that's it, you go first, what weapon do you need? " Imole asked.

"The chain of Hades " Dara replied and dived down the beast.

She landed softly on the shield that hooked from the mountain, she looked around and sighted the chain hanging from the mountain and took a strong leap at it, grabbed it and pulled it out forcefully.

A bright smile on her face, as the chain curled around her arms. The beast moved closer to her and she leaped back on it.

"My turn" Imole said and climbed on the mountain.

He felt the mountain shake slightly and thought it was normal, still not seeing his desired weapon, the spirit bow. The mountain shook, this time with more force than the former and next a volcanic eruption occurred, with larva sprouting up into the sky.

Chapter 11

NASCAO (National Agency for Surveillance Cameras Administration and Operations) Headquarters, FCT, Aceland

The electric bulbs in the silent conference room cast yellowish and dreamy lights on the seven people sitting round the wide table. The fans hanging from the ceiling whirred steadily, adding to the dreamy outlook of the room.

Mr Simon, the NASCAO chairman looked round at the six people infront of him, sitting in groups of three at each side of the wide table. To his left hand side, nearest to him was Dr Everton Clark, the Technical Operations Manager, next to him was Mrs Susan Albert, the Surveillance Cameras Software Developer and next to her was Mr Dapo Johnson, the Surveillance Cameras Installation Supervisor. To his right hand side, nearest to him was Dr Blessing Chinoyerem, the Vice-Chairman, nearest to her was Mr Ngozi Okoronkwo, the Surveillance Cameras Efficiency Monitor and lastly Mr Dare Fadare, the Surveillance Cameras Security Supervisor.

Mr Simon cleared his throat audibly and started talking, 'It is with due honour I called this meeting. Just this morning, I got a call from our office in Nyar State asking us to look into some problems affecting their system recently. It was learned that their system was hacked into, by two different sources and all efforts to track their locations had proved abortive as the sources were not even trackable, if there is such word in the dictionary. They also complained of some missing footages in their database which they said they knew it was the handiwork of those that hacked into their system. They were sure it was the work of the assassins involved in the recent deaths of important men in the state. I'm sure you all heard about the recent murders of icons in Nyar, including the death of the famous Chief Martins. Yeah, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't find the footages of the incidents. Yet the cameras there are fully working. And the Police is pointing accusing fingers at us, because without the surveillance, they won't know how and where to start investigations. And we are now under pressure to resolve the issue because I got a call from the President not long ago, asking me to find a way to solve the matter on time. Now, the question is, could this be the work of some cyber-criminal or an assassin?'

Dr Everton stood up, he was a rather short and bookish man with exaggerated features. But for what he lacked in height, he had in build. He was wide and burly with a chest that reminds you of a petrol or water barrel.

'Let's look at this closely,' he said. 'It could

Work like this na insider... I've missed a lot sha.. Thanks for the mention.

If you don't mind sir.. I'll like to get in touch with you.

My whatsapp number.. If you don't mind

Lord Wumi walked into the room with a bowl of steamy concoction and stopped at the entrance, seeing the boy was already seated on the bed, looking better than yesterday, the poison in his body had greatly subdued, thanks to Lord Wumi, who made him his apprentice to save his life. They now shared same powers and same bound.

"You're awake, it's a good thing you have a well responsive body " Lord Wumi said and passed the bowl over to him.

He received it and tried recollecting what had happened to him, to deserve a wound on the chest.

"You came to the inn, how am I here?"

"First, what is your name? " Lord Wumi asked and sat next to him.

"Seun" the boy replied and groaned as he felt a slight headache.

"Calm, you are now my apprentice, we now share a bond, I am in you, and you are in me" Lord Wumi said calmly so Seun could understand to the fullest.

Lord Wumi stood up and pulled of his shirt, revealing sets of glowing tattoos all over his body.

"This is the power force that runs in us, you have yours, this power force are what channels our inner abilities" Lord Wumi said and summoned out two blades on both hands and made them fade off almost immediately.

"Wow! " Seun said in awe and fixed his gaze on the shiny tattoos

"I have never thought of being an apprentice myself, I hear of the battles you fight, against dark forces and others"

Lord Wumi shakes his head slightly and heaved, this is a greater calling especially being an apprentice of an Alpha Black, he thought within himself and spoke out.

"We have our special abilities which comes in three forms, one the great force, which is used in making weapons and melee attacks, second is the Call force which is used to summon out your inner beast, and lastly Special Force, each of us posses a unique power from another" Lord Wumi paused, seeing Seun was following he continued.

"Follow me"

He led the way out of the room, into an open space filled with various medieval training gadgets. It was then he dawned on Seun he was not in a familiar environment.

"I heard you are an orphan " Lord Wumi said, without looking back at Seun.

Seun sighed, not feeling any remorse though, it was part of his life now and there was nothing he could do about it.

"I never knew my mother, my dad died while I was young, he fell of a cliff while trying to get herbs for me" Seun said and ran up to Lord Wumi.

"You begin training in earnest, first you must form a trust Bond between you and your mortal beast, every apprentice would go out to hunt for their beast, but your came to you, the Desert Cheetah, while it tried escaping, the thorn it had stuck in your body wouldn't let it, so it became trapped in you, and I had to quickly lock it in before it kills you"

Lord Wumi smiled and next were blue smoke evolving out from his body and next to him was a blue hard scaly dragon, with white glowing eyes.

"This is the only thing you can trust with your soul, as they'd do anything to protect you" Lord Wumi said and continued

"To channel it out, all you have to do is call him out through first forming a trust Bond"

Seun heaved and took a step backward, and did as his master did.

He closed his eyes and slightly separated his legs and breathed in, somehow he could feel Lord Wumi like his eyes were clearly open.

Seun, within him could feel something trying to break off its cage and he knew what it was, his Desert Cheetah.

He suddenly saw himself standing in a mildly dark environment, with tiny glowing red lights and before him was his desert cheetah being caged and guarded by two bulky human, each holding to a very huge axe.

"You have to free him, trust your inner strength" Seun heard Lord Wumi's voice echo in his head.

Seun took his first step forward and watched as his mortal beast looked at him, like its life depended on it.

Both guards dashed at him, with their Axe pulling against the ground and bringing out sparks from it. Having no clue of how to fight, Seun knew at this point, he had no option than to proceed and try all he could.

His main body in the earth realm fell hard to the ground and next was a bruise on his right arm, his unconscious body wriggling vigorously on the ground.

"Call him out" Lord Feta shouted and ran in with his apprentice who is a girl.

"He can do it " Lord Wumi said and next a wide wound appeared on Seun's face.

Seun fell hard to the ground, he never thought it would be this tough and at the same time he never expected an easy brawl, the huge axe came furiously at him, quickly he rolled to the left, while the axe slashed deep into the ground in his former position. He picked himself up and dived at the attacking guard, pulled him down by the waist and smacked his face, removed his helmet and smashed his face with it.

"Find the connection between great force, believe it is there, faith is all you need" he heard his Master's voice.

The guard successfully landed a punch in Seun's stomach which sent him off, at a reasonable wide distance.

Seun stood up and stretched out both hands and he could feel his temperature warming, he could feel the power flow. With a smirk on his ruddy face, he summoned out a blue glowing sword on the right and a long red glowing chain on the left.

On the other realm, Lord Wumi smiled, seeing Seun's body glowing.

"I am worthy of this apprentice " He said under his breath with a broad smile.

Seun wiped the chain at one of the guards and furiously dragged him forward at him as the chain curled up tightly around it's victim, Seun screamed as he slashed the guard into two.

He smirked and walked majestically towards the last guard, changed the weapons into a bow and arrow.

On the other realm, Lord Wumi gasped softly and looked at Feta who was also surprised at the glowing bow that began to fade off Seun's hand.

"He is a chosen Archer, I haven't seen this, only heard the tales" Lord Feta said.

The guard's head rolled off with an arrow stucked to its forehead.

Seun opened the cage, and slowly his beast walked out, and rubbed it's head against Seun, creating an everlasting trust Bond with him.

BASEBORN 5

Ola was hanged in mid air in a dark room which was illuminated by a very faint bulb which hanged above his head, he opened his eyes, pains on every part of his face.

He gasped for breath and saw Hussein also being hanged before him, but in a worse condition, the bullet wound on his waist already got infected.

Detective Rufus tapped the conference table where he stood and looked at the twins and next at Jinn who was in between and lastly at Sisi who had a round boy beside her and sighed.

"We have a mole among us, I pinged back phone and guess what, it was sent right from this room" Diana said and instantly all board members of the Nigeria Intelligence walked in one after the other, with a spite look on their faces.

"So you've been the mole among us " the lady among them said and raised up her phone, the evidence the twins disseminated across the entire agency.

"This is a joke right? I have been the head of this agencies for forty five years and you think I'll destroy my achievement by taking side with White Falcons, just because of having a share in illegal money? "

"The previous leader, was here for forty years and he had to do with the rise of White Falcon " Adams replied and walked towards Rufus.

"You trial begins in earnest, I'll take it over from here" Adams said and signalled the guards to take Rufus into custody

***

Ola only muffled, keeping the pain within as fierce blows smacked on his face, he opened his bleeding mouth and thick saliva mixed with blood dropped down.

"Please treat my brother" Ola said weakly, as he watch Hussein burn up with pain and fever.
"There's no need, you'll both be dying anytime soon" The hearty man said and removed the metal knuckles on his fingers and dropped it on the table beside him.

"Now you'll tell me what I need to know, you once run a small time under ground cartel, sells drugs, why did you have to leave such a great calling? "

Ola laughed and looked at the man, with his already swollen eyes.

"Not that it's important, you only derive pleasure from this torture, since I'll be dying soon, lemme ask you, what is the White Falcon about? "

The man chuckled and walked round Ola, while he flicked the knife around.

"You see, the drug is just a cover up"

Sure this man had a loud mouth, and certainly can't keep a secret.

"You have a mole among us, who is he? "

"Someone from the director, now that's enough" the man replied and made his mind to stab Ola to death.

Hussein let out a loud cough and gasped for breath, like he was going into shock. The man turned backing Ola while he looked at Hussein with a wicked grin on his face.

Ola raised his legs up and used them to push the man towards Hussein, who managed to lift his body and used his legs to grab the man's neck and screamed as he broke his neck with great effort.

"That was close" Hussein said in Arabic and winced in pain as the pain on his waist got to him.

***

The twin, Jinn and Sisi were locked up behind bars, confused by the whole turn out of event.
"I don't really understand what is going on here" Sis said with an Indian accent.

"Who ever it is, is playing his game well" Dame replied and walked towards the metal door.

Director Rufus paced around his cell and heaved at interval while he looked up at the concrete ceiling.

The door of the cell came open and he put up a stern face as Adams walked in alone.

"What are you up to Adams? "

Adams smiled and folded his hands behind and stood firm.

"You see Rufus, this game you still don't understand, lemme break it down to you" Adams said and adjusted his tie.

"Morountodun's death was never a coincidence, I knew about his, his existence was really hindering my business, I am the White Falcon " Adams said calmly and continued

"The plane was rigged, he had to die, I also had to flourish, drugs, violence, trafficking, prostitution, I am the crime syndicate, all this while I have been under your nose"

Rufus chuckled and let out a broad smile, which irritated Adams.

"And your phone I used to send the message, there is no greater way to implicate you"

"Are you done? " Rufus asked, like he was bored of what Adams was saying.

"What do you mean? "

"You've been here for a while, I knew who you really were, I also love playing along, and for the record Morountodun isn't dead, and secondly, you're under arrest, do you think you'll get more so easily "

It then dawned on Adams that all his conversation was being played to the entire agency, with live feed, through the camera like button that was on Rufus suit.

"How is Morountodun still alive, the crash was real"

"He was one lucky son of a thousand father, although he isn't in shape" Rufus said and smacked Adams on the face, instantly splitting his lips.

"Your recommendation was no where near acceptance! " Rufus shouted and smacked Adams on the face again and held him by the neck tie

"But yet, I considered you had a family to feed! " Rufus shouted and pulled him closer with the tie

"I signed your appointment! " WHAACKKK!! "I overlooked your shortcomings! " SMMAAHHCCK!! "And" WHHACK!! "This is how you pay back" Rufus shouted and scrapped Adams off his feet.

Adams groaned feeling pains all over his already swollen face. The door opened and three guards walked in.

"Cuff him, take him to Blind Room, let him spend his eternity in darkness"

Director Rufus, on getting out, a lady ran up to him and handed a file to him and spoke.

"The White Falcon, Ola sent in a call for help, he already knows their base of operation, but he and Hussein can't handle it alone"

***

Hussein and Ola leaned behind a lion statue and kept their heads low as heavy gun fire came at them, a bullet managed to pierce into his left arm which was not covered by the statue.

"Hurrmpphhh" he whimpered

"We can't make it out alive " Hussein said in Arabic and began to recite a forgiveness verse of the Quran.

A helicopter hovered into the airspace, with the pilot already sighting Ola and Hussein, he pulled the copter over, while the person handling the machine gun aboard, began to spray their attackers with bullet, sparing not a single soul.

TRAAAATRRAAAA!! the gun whirled, each victim having a reasonable amount of bullet hole in them.

2 WEEKS LATER

Morountodun managed to sit himself up on the hospital bed, a drip running into his body, he coughed slightly and looked at the various bruises on his body.

"You're one lucky son of a witch " Director Rufus said and walked in into the ward.

"Director, I finally found out about White Falcon, Adams runs it"

Director Rufus smiled and heaved before speaking.

"We already had that sorted out, your children are heroes"

"My children? "

Hussein walked in with crutches, while Ola softly supported him, Jinn followed next, then Sisi and finally the twins. Morountodun looked with disbelief, and then to Rufus, feeling speechless.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, they came to say heir good byes, we are returning them to their extraction country " Rufus said and walked out of the ward.

"How are you holding up? " Hussein asked in Arabic.

"Seems you still have the heart to forgive me " Morountodun replied, with a sad face.

"Why don't we just have a family time, before you all leave" Sisi suggested, which sat well with them all.


End.

BASEBORN 4
Three Months Later

Location: Ondo State, Akure
Time: 8:45 am

Dressed in casual outfit, Ola and Hussein walked into a phone and electronic complex, and walked towards the display shelf, which had varieties of phones on display, they looked one from one self to another, while keeping a broad smile on their faces.

Hussein picked up a phone and signalled to the available attendant.

"How much is this? " Hussein asked in Arabic, while Ola pretended not to hear him.

"Sorry sir, I speak only English " the attendant replied, hoping Hussein understood what she said.

"How much is this?" Hussein asked again in Arabic.

"Vincent, please I don't understand Arabic o, come help me sort this man out".

The security guard walked closer, clinching tight to his baton, with a stern look on his face.
Ola removed a tiny round object from his wallet and placed it on the body of the guard, while he was trying to calm the already furious guard who was irritated by Hussein's loggerhead.

"Bro, calm down, ill talk to him" Ola said and talked to Hussein.

"I have visuals" Both Ola and Hussein heard the voice through the comlink on their ears.

Hussein smirked at the guard and walked out, and after some few minutes, Ola also walked out.

Location: Ondo State, Akure
Time: 9:55PM

"Nothing unusual" Ola said as he dripped the telescope from his eyes and laid it on the dashboard of their vehicle.

He watched as Hussein dismantled his pistol and cleaned it and began to puzzle them back together.

"Tell me, how was life in Yemen? " Ola asked and placed the laptop on his laps at the backseat.

Hussein looked at him confused, and only smiled since he never understood what he meant.

A van halted by the entrance of the phone mall, which quickly caught Hussein's attention and signaled Ola to look

Ola quickly retrieved the laptop from the back seat and tapped the enter button which brought up a live feed of what was happening by the van since he had already planted a camera on one of the guard.

Two huge boxes was brought out from the van, carried two men for each of the box. They bought paid close attention to the live feed.

The box was carried into the building, and laid on the reception desk, one of the guards walked into the other end of the desk, bent down and pressed a button which opened an underground stairs and they all went in, including the guard who had the camera planted on him.

The feed on the laptop began to break, showing static frequencies at interval.

"Sisi, what is going on? " Ola asked through his comlink.

"It's not me" the feminine voice replied from the other end.

"There is a network damper in that room, it's interfering with our frequency" One of the twins said, confusion in her voice.

Director Rufus from his office heard the communication and decided to chip in.

"We can't loose them, now that we have traces"

Ola quickly opened the door, grabbed two pistols from under the seat and held them in both hands, while Hussein held to a dagger and a pistol and stealthy approached their target, after they had worn the Kevlars.

Hussein screwed the pistol silencer to the barrel and shot at the guard manning the vehicle from the distance where they were, leaving Ola speechless at his perfect hit.

Getting to the van, they search the guard's body, finding nothing the proceeded with caution steps. They both leaned on both sides of the entrance and looked at each other.

"From the last feed, you have a man by the far right, and another by the left, closer to the door " one of the twins said.

Ola took the lead, bashed opened and rolled himself on the floor, while Hussein took down the one on the left and Ola bringing down the other, with two bullets of the pistol on his right hand, one to the chest, and another to the left shoulder.

The phone of the guard Ola brought down vibrated and quickly they took it and Ola read the message.

"Put Jinn on coms, I need him to interpret " Ola ordered. "Diana, I need you to ping back the address of this message, it's from an encrypted number, can you find the source? " Ola asked, while Hussein stood at alert.

Already brought out a round metallic device from the utility belt and connected the USB device on it to the phone

"I'm on it already, I already tapped into the phone server, but something is wrong" Diana replied

"What? "

"There is a mole in the agency, that is encrypted message which reads, BE ON THE LOOK OUT, INTELLIGENCE ON YOU, WHITE FALCON LOYALIST"

"Come on, we have to get out of here" Ola shouted and pushed Hussein.

A bullet suddenly pierced through the glass of the building and struck Hussein right on the waist.

"Sniper" Ola muffled and retrieved his phone and dialled a number.

Four vans drove in, parked at the entrance and from each of the van, alighted six gun men heavily armed which left Ola no other option than to surrender.

Introduction

Long ago, during the battle for freedom from captivity, serving strange men, first they had come with such hospitality, only for things to get turned once they had penetrated deep into the natives, knowing their weakness ,they struck.

Brought great disaster to them, reducing a once mighty population to nothing, the hospitality was gone.

From one generation to another, they endured till the fourteenth generation, until a common man rose to lead the revolution.

Deciphering the realm of the supreme, he tapped into the source, with seven of his friends, they became so powerful they liberated their people from oppression.

But these powers had to be passed down to another generation to ensure their continual safety, so each of them began to have an apprentice, sharing a power bound between the master and the apprentice.

But while the supreme realm had have a thirst of what humanity and freedom is, they decided to come see for themselves, to be free from their crystal body, located in the supreme realm, they'd do anything to rule this fragile humans and have the chance to revenge for killing one of them and zapping up his powers, but not today.

Today let's face another reality, a thirst for powers among Lords.


Book One

Three Lords walked into the small town of Gara, with a population of roughly three hundred. Unless they introduced themselves no one would know who they really were, it was a code that must not be broken among them, to keep peace and healthy communication.

Every Lord had a power rank, the highest of the ranks being Alpha White. Constant meditation, cultivation and power decided these ranks, showing through the colors of their eyeballs, but can't be seen to normal human, as what they'll see it a normal black eyeball. The ranks list as follows

Beta Black, blue eye balls, the smaller of all ranks.

Beta White, this follows, with a mixed color of blue and black eye balls.

Omega Black, comes next, the bearer possessing a set of pink eye balls

Omega White, a set of Brown eye balls

Alpha Black, possess a set of white eyeballs

And lastly is Alpha White, the bearer being the strongest and possesses red eyeballs.

The three lords alighted their horses, tied them tightly against a pole and walked into the inn in the small city to refreshed themselves.

The Inn was a calm and cozy one, with almost little patronage, as the main customers were foreigners who were traveling through the city and decides to rest for the night.

A teenage boy walked up to them, having a wooden tray on his hands, which contained a steaming kettle and three round bowls, he gently laid it on the table and stepped back a bit before speaking.

"What should I offer you, we have all local foods, which would you like? " the dark complexion boy asked, with a broad smile on his face.

"Leave, we will call you when we need you" The Lord with a pure white hair said and looked at the boy with a bit of a stern face.

He gulped, not knowing what really made him shiver at the sight of the man. He turned around and got a glimpse of a shiny knife stucked by the man's tight and hastened his steps.

Lord Wumi, an Alpha Black, looked at the boy as he walked off and sighed before speaking.

"I can feel the presence of Desert Cheetah in this city, of all earthly beast, this one has proved too tough to get rid of and he won't let anyone have a possession of him" Lord Wumi said and looked out through the window opposite him and watched as night took over.

"If you feel his presence here, that means we should keep our eyes open " Lord Feta said and heaved his broad chest up.

"No, he is coming for us" the Last Lord, Lord Bidemi said and opened his eyes, revealing a set of pink eyeballs.

The wooden wall of the inn suddenly shattered into pieces, heavy shock wave sending everyone off their feet, except the Lords who only raised their hands up before their faces.

From the broken part of the inn, a golden skinned cheetah stood, with red glowing patches. It growled and made thick smokes come out from it mouth, looking vicious.

Lord Wumi stood up and made a huge sword appear on both hands and dashed at the beast.
EEEEEHHHHAAA !! he screamed loudly, leaped into the air and slashed his sword at the beast, which was quick to leap to the right and ram itself on Lord Wumi, the force sending him bursting out from the other end of the inn.

Lord Feta dashed towards the beast and held to his chest, pulled his hands out and suddenly a grizzly bear ran before him. The bear grew huge in size as it ran towards the Desert Cheetah.

In defense, the Desert Cheetah made huge spikes form out of its body and directed all towards the attacking bear and with great force shot them all at it.

Lord Bidemi locked his palms together and made a yellow transparent shield before the bear, blocking off all the spikes that was hurled at it.

The smiles bounced off the spikes, and one hurled towards the attendant boy, struck him on the chest and the tip of the spike protruded out through the boys back.

"URRRGHHHMMPPHH" the boy whimpered and fell to the ground.

Lord Wumi leaped out from behind the bear, as the shield collided with the Desert Cheetah, knocking it off balance. He dived through the air at the Desert Cheetah, a glowing spear on his hand. Still in mid air, he threw the spear at the beast, which quickly disappeared, with all its spike going with it, except the one on the attendant's shoulder.

"This boy needs help" someone shouted, bringing back everyone's attention to the dying boy.

"Move aside" Lord Wumi said and raised him up from the ground.

"I need a room" Lord Wumi said hastily.

"Up" the boy whispered softly as blood flowed out through his mouth.

Director Rufus stood before a huge monitor screen, that took the entire length and width wall. He watched as profiles of different people being displayed and turned around to look at the operator, who was handling it.

"Bring up all profiles for Morountodun's children that were brought in " he said and just then, one of the agency top official walked into the middle of the dark room, which was illuminated solely by screen display, bolted to the wall.

"Adams, your are just in time, the children you brought in, I'll like to see their top potentials" Director Rufus said and placed his hands behind and raised his head slightly up.

The first image that popped out were that of Diana and Dame.

"They call themselves, Cyber twin on one dark web, their lowest record of being waking into firewalls is two minutes, they grew up being self taught hackers, after graduating, they couldn't still lay their hands on good jobs" Adams said and slowly pulled off his tie, making it loose around his neck.

"These children, don't they have guardians of some sort, for one it looks more of abducting" Rufus said with concern.

"They'll be here for a short while, immediately after bringing down these notorious men, especially White Falcon"

Director Rufus heaved and looked straight at Adams.

"Do you have personal hatred for the Falcons? "

"Why won't I? Isn't it our job to bring down threats, especially those damaging this country, look around you Director, being a citizen of this nation is becoming a slap on the face, if I may proceed" Adams said and slide the image away to another.

A young man, with curly hair pooped up next, holding tight to a grenade and a rifle hanging loosely around his waist, while dressed in a military attire.

"Hussein, he is a one man combatant, handles almost all weapons, he trained under Mat Tang Group, an open assassin family, which his mother was the daughter of Al Sahhid the leader of the clan" Adams said and moved on to the next picture without allowing Director Rufus any word.

"Here is Jinn" Adams said and took a long stare at the eleven year old boy whose profile was displayed.

"He has an IQ of over 201, speaks thirty three languages including our indigenous languages, he already graduated through college, his intelligence especially in statistics surpasses human comprehension "

The slide moved to another image of a female, having close looks to that of an Indian.

"This is Sisi, she has First Class in robotics and engineering, has her own company in India and also runs a part time job with the government agencies for extra terrestrial intervention, one of her big upon going project is making a time machine" Adams said with pride and moved to the next image.

"And finally, this is Ola, the eldest of them all, he is uuhhhm many things, he guards his information so much we don't know much about him, except that he runs an underground drug cartel, since he does that we need him on the team" Adams said and stared at Director Rufus if he had any questions to ask.

"The blood runs in them, all look alike, there are thirteen of them, and you handpicked the best I think, it's a good job, you'll be solely responsible for them, while I watch from behind, get down to work, I'll feed the intelligence unit, pass across any info to you " Rufus said and walked out with a grin on his face, which was unseen to Adams.

Hussein groaned as he staggered up, his hands cuffed, he looked around the room and saw four others laying on the floor, all unconscious.

'' أين أنا''
"Where am I? " he murmured to himself and watched as the little boy among them groaned softly.

Hussein raised his palms towards his face, and used his teeth to pull out a tiny metal which was buried in his palm and carefully placed it in the key hole of the handcuff and uncuffed himself.

He threw the cuff and looked round at the room, removed his khaki boots and threw it at the medium sized camera which blended with the panting of the room.

发生了什么事，我头晕目眩，就像被大量安眠药开枪了一样
"What happened, I fell dizzy, like I was shot with a heavy dosage of sleeping drug" Jinn said and watched as Hussein wire back his boot.


你是谁
"Who are you? " Jinn asked, with his mouth slightly opened, his Asian set of eyes feeling dizzy.

أنا لا أتكلم الصينية

"I don't speak Chinese " Hussein replied not feeling concerned about who the boy was.

Jinn pulled himself up, still feeling weak, he staggered backward, almost collapsing to the floor, but was quickly caught by Hussein.

"thank you" Jinn replied in Arabic.

Hussein put up a stern smile on his lips, held on to Jinn and uncufed him also

"We were kidnapped, I'm sure it's some secret organization " Hussein said.

Diana woke up first, feeling retrain around her wrist, she looked towards the hurting wrist and saw she was cuffed together with Dame.

"That son of a thousands father" she said and slapped her twin softly on the cheeks.

"Softly, you'll hurt yourself " Hussein said in Arabic although he wasn't expecting them to understand what he said.

"Good" Diana replied and kept calm as Hussein uncufed them.

"Where are we? " Dame asked weakly.

"Hussein says, we have been abducted by some secret agencies to work for them" Jinn replied in English.

"So we will be alive" Dame replied in relief

"He is not sure" Jinn replied, completely shattering their hope.

Sisi heard the voices in her head, from Arabic to Chinese and fluent English. She opened her eyes slowly and let out a slight cough.

"Hi" she said having a red blurry eyes.

Ola woke up last, saw the strange faces and noticed one thing was common to them, they all had a face that almost look alike. He stood up and moved his hands apart, breaking the cuffs on him with ease.

"Okay, that's our superman" Dame said and waved at him.

"One thing I don't understand is you all look like me, just different trait, who are you? " Ola asked in a baritone voice while he moved his head aside, cracking the neck bones.

The door of the room slowly came open, all moving backward, except Hussein who stood his ground and Ola who walked forward to support Hussein if any strike should happen.

On the other end was Director Rufus and Adams standing side by side, while they had a fleet of guards standing behind them l harmed to the teeth.

"You" Director Rufus said and pointed to Hussein, "you have the perfect trait of your father being a top class spy"

Jinn didn't waste no time in translating.

"The best five children of Agent Morountodun, sorry for the tough ride to your father's land, we owe you that apology. Follow me " Adams said and immediately turned around

Two look alike sisters sat opposite each other in a large restaurant, with their laptops right before them, a coffee cup beside them, while they repeatedly tapped the keys on their laptops.

"I'm in " the one with a star by the right corner of her lips said with a heavy America accent and brightened her face with a broad smile.

"I was in like about five minutes ago" the second said and smiled as the other passed ten dollars she brough out from her wallet to her.

"It's a stable network this restaurant uses, this is like my next best spot from now on"

A loud noise came from the manager's office and from the room a fat man bashed out, speaking at the top of his voice, his fair skin already red, especially around his face as he fumed with anger.

"Lock the doors, no one leaves here, c'mon man, we are going bankrupt if this little hackers keeps breaking our firewalls and exhausting two hundred gig data in less than an hour, I'm not gonna be fired because of some motherfukkas" the man shouted and ordered the staff closest to the door to lock it up.

Both twins looked at one another and immediately closed their systems.

In less than two minutes, two police vehicles parked outside the restaurant, followed by two tech guys, went in and walked directly to the manager's office, while a police stood guard at the door.

One of the tech guys walked out of the office and headed straight to where the twins were seated and spoke.

"Diana and Dame, common, stand up and follow me" the man in his early twenties said amd pulled out a stun gun from the back.

Both twins looked at each other and without any questions, packed up and followed the man. On getting to the entrance, he pulled the trigger of the stun gun, shit the police standing guard on the neck, which sent him unconscious and was followed next by murmurs.

A black SUV drove by and quickly they all went it.

"Thanks and who are you guys? " one of the twins asked.

The man smiled at them and shot the stun gun at both of them, brought out a cell phone and placed it on his right ear.

"Target acquired" he said and threw the phone out of the car, directly into a public waste bin and rolled up the tinted glass.

Loud explosions rocked every angle of the battle ground, followed by furious gun fire, with soldiers dropping down in the front line.

"Double time!! " a soldier shouted, taking cover behind a burnt tank.

TWAAAP!! A bullet pierced through the chest of his comrade before him, and immediately he dropped down dead.

He looked around as the gun fire began to intensify. He peeped out and saw about fourteen members of the terrorist group they were up against, closing in on him and at the same moment dropping his comrades with ease.

"Hussein" a soldier called out to him and threw him an ammo which he quickly loaded.

He sighed and dived out of cover, leaped again to take cover behind a sandbag and pulled the trigger KF his assault rifle.

Just three of his team remaining, it was zero possibility of survival for them. The soldier on his let screamed as a bullet bored through his knee cap and next into his left eyes.

With no place to take cover, Hussein, a chocolate skinned man, continued to press forward as sweat broke on his face.

He muffled as a bullet smacked against his helmet, feeling the impact, but ignored. Theast soldier suddenly got a bullet hole to his throat, which didn't give him any space to struggle for survival.

Hussein, seeing it was useless continuing alone, went on his knees, dropped his gun down and raised his hands in the air as a surrender signal

" لا ناجين ، اقتله"
"No survivors, kill him " one of the terrorist dressed in an overall black said fiercely.

"Wait we can get information " another replied as they pressed forward.

TRAAATRAATRAA!! A fighter jet flew into the air space and fired rapid shots at the approaching terrorist that were closing in on Hussein

"Target acquired and secured, bringing him in for extraction" the pilot said as he hovered through the air.

He took another look at the strange librarian and he could tell something was wrong, as the face was new.

" 你是新来的" / "You are new here? " the boy asked putting up a broad smile on his face.

" 并不是的" / "Not really" the man replied and shot a tiny dart at the boy's neck and placed his left middle finger on his ear.

The left wing of the airplane suddenly came off while the left propellers on the right wing became engulf with flames, which immediately followed by thick black smokes while the airplane struggled to keep balance in the sky, but continued to nose dive down out of the earth upper atmosphere.

"Please everyone should be strapped to their seat and keep calm" an air hostess said almost in fright, as panic ran through everyone's spines.

The chance of survival was slim as zero, the aeroplane shook vigorously, as the dived down through the clouds.

"Hello everyone, since it seems like none of us would be making it, it's true, but bitter" a chocolate skinned man said and chuckled, while strapped to his seat, and holding to the one before him for support.

"My name is Jason Morountodun, and I'm glad to announce to you, that I am an agent of the Nigeria Intelligence, code number 005,yeah I'm a class C.. Urgghhhh" this time the plane lost the right wing completely.

Jason looked around at the fearful face and knew all hope was lost.

"We have roughly five more minutes before we touch down, pray to your Gods " he said and closed his eyes with a smile.

"It's a good thing I didn't die in the field or got caught" he said to himself and inhaled as he felt the plane was going closer to the ground.

"AMEN"

The plane finally crashed very hard to the ground, which followed by a very loud explosion that sent metal shreds all over, burnt down building within a mile radius, while some were fortunate to only feel the impact of the shock wave, or partially collapsed buildings.

A large group of people dressed in a completely black outfit, all stood before a golden coffin, which had a neatly packed Nigerian flag laid on it, medals of various.

The national anthem slowly played in background, with a touch of sorrowful rhythm in it, while everyone stood upright, each having a sorrowful look on their faces.

"Agent Morountodun is a man great virtue, although he takes things so lightly, but we can't still dispute the fact that he is the best among us, his death is a pain an everlasting one to all of us. I pray may his soul rest in perfect peace. Amen" the Director said with a shaky voice.

"Amen!! " everyone chorused in response

The coffin slowly went down into the dugged pit, while all agents comforted each other.

***

The Director, a bald head man, well toned in body structure, dark skinned and a set of roughly large eyes. He walked into the conference room, which already had five of Nigeria Intelligence top members already seated, scattered across the huge room.

"Rufus" the only lady among them said and gave a handshake to the director before making herself comfortable on the comfy leather chair.

"Morning everyone, what's so urgent that can't wait?" Rufus asked and rested both palms on the conference table and watched as they all brought out their laptops and powered it on.

"Our intelligence feedback has tabs on the White Falcon Clan, but it's a pity we lost all the team we sent, and they have somehow gone underground" a man said, while tapping random buttons on his laptop.

The conference room, went dark, blocking off every source of light and before them, a projector descended from the top, and stopped mid way, then projected it's content towards the white board before it.

The man stood up and walked forward, pointed his finger at the display, a full satellite view of the city.

"Just yesterday, our source saw them moving in hard drugs, worth 17 million naira, we don't know who is buying, but one thing for sure is, they knew we were coming and countered us"

Director Rufus sighed and shot at them a puzzled look.
"I know about this, what's the point you want to make? "

Silence fell on everyone for a long while, then finally another man spoke.

"Agent Morountodun, he has been on missions to fifty one different countries and has children in thirteen of them, including Iraq" the man said

"We trailed all his bank transactions, and we have interesting details on his children the youngest of them being just 11 years"

Director Rufus looked at each one of them, still not getting what they were driving at.

"I still don't get, gentlemen "

"These children are gifted, the girl in Israel is a hacker, the twins in the US of A are more of hitmen, one has an IQ of over 200 ,we could use them, that's the point" the lady among them said and tapped the enter button on her keyboard, which in return displayed various pictures from projector at the board.

Director Rufus studied all pictures and noticed they all had a striking resemblance with their father.

"They are young" Rufus said

"Young by looking at their faces, Morountodun placed them under vigorous training with different secret organization, all we have to do is extract them" a man said calmly and adjusted his glasses.

"You started this, make sure you get it done" Director Rufus said gave the go ahead, adjusted his suit, gave a slight nod and walked out.

Officer Folu led the way into the ware house, all of them completely off guard. The doors of the building closed behind them and everywhere went dark with no source of light.

Damilola glowed his arms, which shone brightly amidst the dark, illuminating a reasonable amount of the warehouse.

Officer Folu raised his gun up towards the east direction and pulled the trigger.

THHUUDD!! " a body fell to the ground and next were the doors of the warehouse loosely opened.

"What was that? " Martha asked with a mixture of fear.

"You weren't expecting a place like this with no guard, it was a sniper" he replied and walked forward.

"How did he know about that? " Martha whispered into Damilola's ear and looked at him.

Damilola only nodded and tagged behind Officer Folu.

Officer Folu bent down, in a squat position and opened the lid on the ground, and climbed down.

"The Serums, do you have it with you? "

"No, I handed them over to him, while you were unconscious " Damilola replied and bent down to go through also.

**
***

Damilola gasped at the numerous huge tubes which was in the underground lab, filled with unconscious children drowned in them. From where the hid themselves, they watched closely the activities that went on, the various human specimen laying on the surgical bed, each with missing organ.

"Such beauty " Officer Folu said under his breath and came out of hiding and shot twice into the air, which startled everyone.

"Who is the lead researcher? " Officer Folu shouted, walked majestically.

He shot an elderly man down and looked at others with a deadly look.

"No one should play dumb with me, he has a gun buried behind him" he said and laughed hysterically.

"What is he doing? " Damilola asked in disbelief, still maintaining their position

"What ever it is, all that matters is, I already have both serums with me" she said and opened her palm.

An elderly man walked forward and adjusted his glasses with unease, frightened at the sight of the gun with Officer Folu.

"First I thought of having powers also for myself, now this, an army of super strong humans" Officer Folu said and turned around.

"Give me powers" Officer Folu said with greed.
"It's impossible to do that " the man replied

"Why? "

"We used the last of the serums and we are exhausted "

Officer Folu chuckled and spoke.

"I have here with me two serums, which I know is more than enough even for fifty people" he said and dipped his hand into his right pocket.

He opened his eyes wide, and dipped his hand into the left pocket, feeling nothing, he searched his back pockets and realized he had been robbed.

"Give me those or I swear I'll kill every single person in here"

Both GodFist and Martha came out of hiding, both of their eyes glowing green beneath the mask on their faces.

"The first trial was successful" a doctor said in disbelief, seeing both Martha and GodFist each with glowing arms.

"We thought we could trust you " Martha said

"You're children and you don't understand what it means to have powers, ever since I found out about this, I have always wanted it, pay back those that had made me suffer" Officer Folu said in pains and shot his gun into the air.

A loud hiss came from above, from a leaked pipe and next was the red alert going off. Blaring of loud alarm, and next were malfunctioning of the systems.

"What's happening? "

"It's a code red, all specimen are regaining consciousness, and their restructuring isn't complete" the lead doctor said and instantly took to his feet.

The liquid in the tubes began to pour out and next were the children in them gaining consciousness each with red glowing eyes and arm.

At the same time, they smashed the tube, broke it into pieces with just one hit and came out from it, each of them clothed in a surgical gown.

"We await your command" one of the said, referring to no one in particular.

"Kill them" Officer Folu said pointing to GodFist and Martha

"Decoding attributes of our leader, we now follow your orders" they all chorused and dashed at GodFist and Martha while Officer Folu smiled with content.

***

GodFist grabbed the incoming punch, placed the arm around his shoulder and forcefully broke it, which shattered like broken glass, he charged his hands to the maximum and engaged in massive punching, leaving skills out of the fight, all he cared about was making sure he landed a punch in his opponents.

From behind a punch fell on his neck, which sent him forcefully to the ground, groaning in pains, while Martha on the other hand also struggled to set herself free as her opponents swarmed around her.

Like flee they fell on GodFist, punching every part of him they could find, while Martha also suffered same faith.

"Wow, this is what power tastes like and all this while it has been abused" Officer Folu said in excitement with his eyes closed

A bullet slightly brushed through his cheeks, he groaned in pain and opened his eyes, only to see Waziri and John standing meters away from him.

"Order them to move away from the kids, or the next bullet goes through you " John said and made his hands glow dark and pointed his right palm at Officer Folu.

"Backup soldiers " Officer Folu shouted and instantly the children retreated.

GodFist sighed as he stood up and smacked the one closest to him on the cheek, cracking it's neck bone and ran up to Martha and helped her to her feet.

"What can you do, there's like a hundred of us and just four of you"

"And ME! " a stern voice said and elevated down into the lab from the entrance above, a dragon emblem on his ash costume, green cape, gloves and boot.

"PRIME! " GodFist said in disbelief, short of words.

"I though Lagos was a zero ground for you" Officer Folu said shaken with fear.

"Give up " Prime said and made his eyes glow red

"Even my dead body won't make a foolish decision as that" Officer Folu replied.

"Emi, I didn't invite you here to talk sense into him, rather to beat sense into him" Waziri said and shot a kid in the fore head.

"No, these are just kids, you can't kill them, they are under his influence " Prime said and in an instant was standing before Waziri.

"I won't hesitate if they keep coming my way"

"I can stop this, reverse engineer their brain back to normal, only if I had the serum" John said in haste.

"I have it" Martha replied and brought them out.

"Follow me"

Officer Folu got irritated and immediately ordered his soldier to attack.

Waziri loaded his guns with rubber bullets and dashed forward, leaped into the air and grabbed a boy by the neck with his legs, and did a flip, threw the boy off and shot at another.

Prime effortlessly, grabbed the attackers by the cloth and threw them against the wall, making the go unconscious but just for a little while.

GodFist also refrained himself from hitting to hard on the., but was hard enough to break bones.

Waziri held a girl by the neck and dragged her behind him, while he shot others by the knee, making a perfect hit and continued walking closer to Officer Folu who dashed off another direction, with a boy running behind him.

John plaved both serums into an round engine, with flat surface that sat on the ground, he loaded some plastic looking guns into another section and tapped a button on the engine, from above a liquid poured into an opening of the engine and mixed with the serum, next the guns began to move in lines, while they were being loaded with the mixed serum, which is supposed to be a solution.

"Get Prime over here" John said and watched as Martha ran off.

Officer Folu walked in on John and shot two shot at him and at the third shot, the gun was empty. He smirked and threw off the gun.

"Kill him" he ordered the boy that followed him.

John stood before the engine and made his arms glow brightly, with increased heat, which burnt the sleeves of his shirt.

Waziri also ran in and from behind smacked his right leg against Officer Folu's neck. Officer Folu staggered and leaned on the wall, groaned in pain and moved his neck sideways and made a fist.

"We should just settle scores here, you tortured me in the interrogation room, here I can torture you more" Waziri said and pulled off his helmet.

Officer Folu stood in shock, seeing who it was, a commando, skilled in over hundred different martial art, handles over two hundred ammunition, has on various occasions gone on a one man mission, and record has it he hasn't lost a man on his team until the time of his dishonorable discharge from duty.

"Are you scared? " Waziri asked, leaping from one feet to another, with his fist loosely closed, his right hand above his face and the left beneath as he leaped.

"Let's see if the tales are true" Officer Folu said and dashed at Waziri.

John grabbed the boy by the waist and threw him to the right, powered his right hand and smacked the boy on the spinal cord. With quick reflex, the boy grabbed John by the leg, and pulled him off balance to the ground, knelt across him and began to give John repeated hits on the face and suddenly the boy fell unconscious to the ground, a syringe sticking to his shoulder.

"Up" Prime said holding to the plastic gun

"Get those, that's the cure John said and stood up"

"Leave those two, let Waziri have the fun he wants" Prime said and lifted the entire engine of the ground and flew back to where the unconscious children were.

Waziri spat blood from his mouth and smiled wickedly.

"I'll give you credit for that " he said and bent down, moved his right leg backward, turned the edge of his toes to the ground, making it rigid and then closed his eyes, stretched his left hand back in a 90 degree position and suddenly went invisible.

Officer Folu gasped, not believing what he saw, he tried being calm, suddenly he felt a sharp entrance into his ribs from the back.

"I'm no match for you " he heard Waziri whispered into both of his ears from behind, spat out blood and fell to the ground lifeless.

Emi held Damilola close to his chest as he sobbed with heavy heart, trying to console him.

"It's a good thing he decided to finally face the law, at least he won't be dead, it's a life sentence and there is still hop" Emi said and tapped Damilola slightly on the shoulder.

"Come on, you have to be a man, this city should be safe under your watch, it's a responsibility you have to take seriously" Emi said and let go off Damilola and signed deeply.

"Hope I'll be seeing you around ?" Damilola asked

"Soon, a threat is coming, and we will need someone like you" Emi replied, walked towards the edge of the sky scrapper, smiled at Damilola and almost with the speed of a light, he flew into the sky, making little cracks on the spot.

Damilola heaved and wore his mask, looked up into the sky and inhaled deeply.

End.

The crane finally let down the huge container from the ship to the dock. John walked closer to the door and turned the lock around and carefully pulled the metallic door open, and from inside came thick fumes which slowly died down revealing a crystal clear briefcase which had two tiny bottles encased inside it.

John smiled, filled with joy, he grabbed the transparent briefcase by the handle and walked out of the container.

"Let's move out of here" He said to his guards.

"Boss, all tyres are flat" A guard said running up to them and suddenly fell down dead to the ground.

From behind a container, a figure came out, a yellow colored W shaped Kevlar around his chest, silver colored metallic arms, black vest beneath his Kevlar, a black pant and yellow boots.

"You have something that belongs to me" the masculine voice came at John.

"Waziri" John said and smiled "I have heard those tall tales about you, join me and I'll bring every of your enemies to your feet" John said

"Not a chance, You have a strong alliance with the Army General, you led the hunt against my family just to keep the army off it so I won't be suspicious of it, today is no day to kill you, hand over the Dragon Syndrome " Waziri said and rolled out a pistol from behind and pointed it at John.

"You know why I never miss my target? " Waziri asked and continued "Ever since I shot my friend hoping to get his captor, I swore never to miss a target" Waziri said and fired a shot right at John's forehead.

John quickly intersected the bullet, caught it inches before it could get to his face, while his hands began to emit black fumes.

"You're The Devil's Hand " Waziri said in surprise and stepped back a bit.

"Step aside" Officer Folu said with a stern voice, clinching tight to his gun which he raised up towards his face, with both hands and walked carefully behind Waziri

"Even you! " John shouted seeing his partner

"And I brought you a surprise also " Officer Folu shouted.

Suddenly the container opposite John moved towards him furiously, almost getting him unaware.

John switched the briefcase to his right hand and stopped the incoming container with the left.

"Hand over the briefcase " GodFist said standing right on top the container with his arms glowing.

"Kill them, and someone get me a ride out of here"

Rapid gun fire suddenly filled the air, both Waziri and Officer Folu dived behind the container closest to them for safety, Waziri suddenly smacked Officer Folu on the jaw and rolled out, shot two guards, instantly dropping them down and continued towards John.

A car suddenly drove out from nowhere and hit Waziri, scrapping him off his feet and then drove beside John, and quickly the back door came open and John got in.

GodFist dived into the way, stood his ground as the car drove furiously at him, he charged his hands, and moved his left leg behind a little and also dashed at the car.

On making contact, Damilola rammed his fist against the car bonnet, which divided it into a thousand junk, every part going into different direction.

Thick smoke raised into the air, and from it walked out John, clinching tight to the transparent briefcase.

"Hand that over" GodFist said trying to make his voice thicken.

"A kid" John said and looked behind and watched Waziri brought down his guards effortlessly.

John carefully dropped the case to the ground and made his arms emit black glows.

GodFist also recharged his arms and dashed at John, threw the first punch at John's face which he dodged swiftly.

ARRRGHHH!! GodFist screamed as he threw rapid punches at his opponent who stood rooted to the ground.

John held GodFist's right fist, stopping the punch that came at his face and used it to flip GodFist around and in mid air punched him hard on the stomach.

The force sent GodFist a reasonable distance away, stopping by the edge of the dried area that seperated the water from the land.

GodFist coughed and spat out blood from his mouth, wriggled in pain and managed to stand up, while John approached him with the briefcase on his left hand.

GodFist took an attack stance and dashed at John, this time finding a perfect hit on John's jaw, which sent him into the air.

GodFist grabbed him by the collar in mid air and continued to bang his face so hard, he left no breathing space for John.

"This is for killing her for no just cause!!" GodFist shouted, still hitting John hard knock the face.

He finally let go and staggered back, his green glowing eyes already giving way to tears that trickled rapidly down his face.

John breathed rapidly and looked at GodFist who was sobbing and wiped off the blood dripping down his nose.

"Seems I took something precious from you also" John chuckled and looked around for the briefcase and saw it a few meters away from GodFist.

"Why are you doing this? " GodFist asked in tears.

John smiled and faced his palms at GodFist and fired black flame balls from them at GodFist who dived the opposite direction away from the briefcase.

Quickly John dived at the briefcase and still managed to get a shot on GodFist, who collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Let me make the score complete, greet the big guy when you get there" John said and placed his leg of GodFist's chest and made the black fire balls revolve around his arms.

GodFist quickly pulled off his mask and stared at his father with a swollen face, and began panting heavily.

"Drey!" his father said and staggered back in disbelief, loosing himself in total despair.

Damilola sniffed as tears continued down his face.

BANG BANG!! waziri made a bullet hole through John's chest, with his silver pistol from the distance he was.

"No!! " Damilola said lowly as his father dropped to his knees, with a smile on his face and slowly his charged arms began to die down.

Damilola grabbed his father, and gently placed his head on his laps, then let out a loud cry.

"You killed him! " Officer Folu said as he ran up to Waziri

"He has killed enough people already" Waziri replied with no sign of remorse.

"In front of his son! " Officer Folu said with his hands on his head.

"He killed my whole family, my wife, two boys and a girl" Waziri replied and walked towards Damilola to get the briefcase.

Waziri picked up the case and turned around to leave then spoke.

"He got what he deserved "

Instantly, Damilola shot at Waziri a yellow laser, which peirced Waziri's left arm and next he shot a wavy ball which raised Waziri into the air and slammed him against a container which sent him into coma.

Damilola gently placed his father's leg on the ground and opened the case and brought out the syndromes.

"What do you need this for? " He asked Officer Folu

"We have get to your dad's base of operation and do the needful, come on Martha should have regain consciousness "

"I can't leave him here "

"I called the station and gave them an entire lot different report, they'll take care of things" Officer Folu said and patted Damilola on the shoulder.

@devilpen

Regardless of having a good heart or not, the first prospect that comes to your mind when in danger is to defend yourself and escape and Ann did exactly that.

she had lots of options ranging from making them unconscious, or given injuries on vital areas that won't kill them, she had enough evidence, or find her way out if taken into custody in the police vehicle....


No vex say my own dey too much o

OP from the way you portrayed our Main Character from the beginning.. She seemed to be an assassin with good heart..

Is it necessary to kill innocent police officers especially ladies like her...

O wrong nau

Damilola sat at the center of the mini library in his house, accomodating four shelves, which were placed before one another, he adjusted the electric lamp slightly above his head and flipped through the pictures with him, captures of his father, leading a notorious gang, trafficking of children.

The door came open and quickly Damilola shoved the pictures under the huge book before him and flipped through the pages of the book.

"Found the reference you are looking for?" Martha asked and walked inbetween the shelves.

"Not really" he said and tried composing himself.

"Alright, just checking up on you, I'm off to the living room " Martha said and walked out.

Relieved, Damilola brought out his phone and dialled the number that was scribbled on the white document and plaved the phone on his ear.

"Officer Folu, I need to see you" Damilola said and grabbed the file, and carefully stock it into his back bag, placed it on his back and went off.

Damilola alighted his motorcycle and walked into the restaurant he and Officer Folu had used the previous day and walked direct to the same spot they had used.

He looked around, since he had expected to meet the officer there, but he wasn't. He made himself comfortable and opened the bottle water he met on the table.

"Dammy! " Officer Folu's voice came from behind, and then he moved forward and sat on the seat opposite Damilola.

"I went through the files, you've made your point so what now? "

"It's a good thing you are considering things, a shipment will be coming from Japan, it'll arrive by nine tonight"

"How do you know these things" Damilola asked and gulped softly.

"I have been keeping tabs on your father and I also have my source, just that your dad is too smart and keeps clean, and even at that, he is just a detective to the ordinary eyes but has quickly climbed through the godfather level" Officer Folu said and tapped his fingers on the table.

"The shipment, what do we do about it and what does it contain? "

Officer Folu looked out through the window and clicked his tongue and resumed tapping his fingers on he table.

"Come on, you'll see for yourself, we have to get to Lagos before noon, send your girlfriend a message, nothing suspicious though" Officer Folu said and stood up

They both walked out of the restaurant, walked towards Officer Folu's car, only to meet Martha sitting on the bonnet of the car.

"So it's this" Martha said and climbed down, removed her shades and gave a stern look at Damilola and to the Officer.

"I was going to tell you after everything was done "

"No need for cheap talks, get into the car" Officer Folu said with a thicker tone.

***

At exactly 8:45, the drove into the city of Lagos and headed directly to the major dock. Martha sighed as the car finally halted at a discreet area, before a shipping container.

"You can wait here, If you don't feel alright" Officer Folu said as he opened the door and came down.

"Just wondering how he would go up against his father" Martha replied and watched Officer Folu load his pistol and wore a Kevlar vest on himself.

Officer Folu sighed and strapped his utility belt slightly around his waist and stucked a pistol on the left sheath, hanged an assault rifle on his back and cracked the pistol with him, ready for action.

"Why all this? " Damilola asked curiously.

"To take care of your father's minions" Officer Folu replied.

Martha zipped open the leather bag she brought along and brought out Damilola's costume and threw it at him, brought out his batons and placed it on the bonnet while she pulled of the blue blouse she had on, revealing her yellow costume with a red circle on the centre, which was surrounded with smaller dots on each side.

Damilola put on his mask and made sure it was firm, leaving two long remnants of the knot behind him, his costume was completely black, having same patterns of red rings on it, he grabbed his batons and smashed them together, looked up at Officer Folu and nodded his head.

John alighted the SUV that brought him to the port and stared at the moonless sky, and smiled at himself, three guards behind him, each holding firm to a pistol.

From the right, a man dressed in white suit walked up to John, and each exchange pleasantries.

"The signal lamp should be seen anytime from now" the man said and rested on the huge container behind him, which had other containers laid on it.

"Nothing must go wrong, that syndrome should be made ready, once the shipment arrives, we begin mass production"

GodFist and others peeped from where they hid and watched as John paced from one end to another.

"The shipment is taking forever, and I'm feeling cold" GodFist said and breathed out loudly, he made his arms glow and increased the heat it emitted to keep himself warm.

A figure dropped from a very high container to another.

"We have company" Martha said and pointed to the figure leaping from one container to another.

"Son of a thousands father" Officer Folu said and looked back at John who was chatting with his accomplice.

"Who is he? " GodFist asked

"Waziri, you don't want to meet him, whatever happens, stay out of his sight, I'll keep him busy"

A loud blaring sound came from the sea and a very bright light shone from the sea among the thick fog.

"It is here" John said and smiled as he watched the ship finally settle.

You're doing a great job.. Hope the story line doesn't flop o

John alighted his car and slammed the door shut, he ignored the soldiers that greeted him and walked into the huge military tent before him.

"General! " John called out to the heavily built man, sitting before a metal desk with various files before him.

"John, you've finally come to your senses! " General Wale said and smiled, revealing a set of well arranged teeth.

"I need the cure"

"First I have something to show you, follow me" the General said and led the way out of the tent.

The General walked into a warehouse filled with brown boxes and empty barrels, while John tagged behind him, General Wale took a left turn and moved an empty barrel aside, bent down and opened the lid on the ground and jumped down, while John also did same.

"Welcome to Project Black Order" the general said.

The underground was filled with human specimens, each encased in a large tube filled with green liquids, with different huge cables running into them, super computers on the far right, a laboratory on the far left.

"You paved way to this success, John, your DNA proved worthy, a classic piece, we couldn't have done this without you"

John looked to the left behind the laboratory, he noticed another section and walked up to it, only to discover it was filled with children.

"Those are our new recruits, it is stable in children than adults " General Wale said, with his hands behind his back.

"What do you want with me? "

"Lead this army" General Wale said slowly.

"Why me? "

"They are your children, you're Bond to them"

"What do you need them for? "

General Wale shakes his head before he replied.

"You still don't get it, the game has been moved from doing petty political business, a country's strength rest on its military power and once with that, we automatically become leaders, every nation bows to us"

"General" an Asian looking man walked in, dressed in completely white suit and blavk lathered shoes.

"Xia " General Wale said happily and hugged the man.

"John, you've finally complied"

"You are funding this project here in my country, why not yours and what is in it for you? " John asked, knowing something wasn't right.

For a while Xia kept mute, caught in the corner.

"I'll keep that as confidential"

John grabbed him by the throat and raised him up.

"Speak or I'll do you the favour of snapping this fragile neck of yours"

Xia tapped John's hand and felt relief as John dropped him down.

"This DNA restructuring has failed in other places except here in Africa and luckily we had you, I am wanted all over, but fortunately enough, your country is more or less a dumping ground " Xia said with pride.

John lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly as Xia spoke.

"…after this, I'll ruin the world, and raise a new order, with you by my.... "

A huge hole suddenly bored into his chest, showing at the back. John lowered his hand, which had shot out the fireball and heaved, looked at the General who was already scared and at the workers.

"You now have a new boss" John said and looked around "Who gives report should fill me in and General, I need that cure"

Damilola sighed as he dropped his phone on the table and looked at Martha who was busy with a tutorial video on her laptop.

"First he hasn't been picking up his calls since two days ago and now his number isn't going through at all" Damilola complained and dialled the number again.

"What is he thinking, that we are what? Kids, and thinks he can just do a foul job and dash off" Damilola shouted in annoyance and began pacing around.

He got more annoyed seeing Martha didn't pay him any attention.

"Won't you say anything? "

"Well, I warned you about giving him full payment, now see this" Martha replied and stood up from the floor, with the laptop on her hands.

Damilola heaved and spoke

"I'll just check on him at his office" he said and walked out annoyed.

Getting to the main compound, Damilola ignited his motorcycle and drove out. Stuck in traffic, Damilola noticed something strange and watched as the lights turned green, quickly he revved his bike and zoomed off.

He raised the glass of his helmet and looked at the left side mirror and noticed a car had been following him, he pulled back the glass and continued to where he was headed.

Getting to his destination, Damilola alighted his bike and placed the helmet on the mirror and noticed the car parked on the other side of the road.

He took a look at the building he was to go into and back at the car and decided to go to the car.

He crossed the busy road and walked towards the car with the tinted glass and knocked on the driver's position glass.

The window rolled down slowly, revealing a pistol pointed at Damilola. With very swift reflex, Damilola grabbed it and unknowingly ripped the door off.

"Officer Folu! " Damilola said, seeing it's someone he knew.

"Now who is going to pay for that" The bald head man said and came out, staring at Damilola in disbelief.

"Follow me, you're drawing attention"

***

Damilola drank from the can before him and waited for Officer Folu to say whatever it is he wanted to.

"It was not easy finding you " Officer Folu said and looked outside the restaurant through the large window and back at Damilola.

"What do you need? "

"Your father is gradually become a nightmare, he is a night mare, only we hadn't gotten to the stage kg keeping our eyes open" Officer Folu said and folded his arms.

"Hmmm"

"I know he killed your mother, she was always against him doing dirty jobs for prominent people, I know about how you got kidnapped and injected by that dose, an officer told me about you, so I had to come see for myself" Officer Folu said, this time with a stern face.

"Hmmm" Damilola said and drank from the can.
"You have to stop your father, he is widely known as The Devil's Hand, and the last time I confronted him, I almost died, witnessing his powers " He said and passed a file over to Damilola

"You've heard about the missing children 256 of them in one day?, it's your father's doing, whatever it is isn't godly, my job here is done, the blood of the innocent is on you after hearing this and seeing what is in that file and not doing the necessary, you know where to find me, if you ever need me" Officer Folu said and took his leave.

Damilola pulled the file closer to himself and watched as Officer Folu walked out of the restaurant after settling the bills.
