Everywhere becomes quiet after the shots. John runs up to Tega, tears wells up in his eyes as he holds the dying man, who moments ago, was trying to save them. Such bravery, such courage, will not go unpaid for, he looks at Schemer then back to the dying man, who looks like he wants to say something. He moves his ears close to man's lips. He nods his head. Tega's eyes closed, signifying the end of his dreams, while for John, it's the beginning of a new era.

"He's gone" He says calmly, standing up. He's terrified. Who wouldn't? So much has happened to him in the past couple of weeks, but he surely didn't see it getting this bloody. He looks at the faces of the others before him. He looks at his dad, he gets a nod,then he looks at a bleeding Edogho on the floor, then the doctor by his side, lastly at Schemer.

"What do you wanna do?" Schemer asks, puzzled.

John throws a step towards Schemer "I'm gonna teach you, how to respect elders" he throws another step forward.

"Like you had any. You stûpid son of a stûpid father" Schemer laughs mockingly.

"Watch it!" John growls "I won't have you talk about my father like that"

"Now you're a good son?"

Edogho gets up slowly from behind Schemer.

"Behind you!" The Doctor says.

Schemer turns and hits Edogho with his gun. Mr Samuel hits him with a chair and Schemer's gun falls. Schemer is dazzled by the hit, before he can recuperate, another swing of the chair on him sends him crashing down.

John turns and heads in the doctor's direction, before the doctor can make a move, John dives and pins him down. The doctor stretches out a hand and grabs John's neck and turns him over. He sits on top of John and uses his other hand to punch him. John spits on the doc's face, and the doctor falls down, clutching his eyes. John gets up and kicks the doc in the face. He raises his head up and sees his father's already subdued Schemer. He gives him a thumbs up.

Mr Samuel picks up Schemer's gun. He looks at the door post and listens "I can hear footsteps from afar. We need to hurry"

John helps Edogho to get up, and the corner of his eye catches the doctor trying to make a move. He steps towards the doc and sends a thunderous kick to his skull, the doctor passes out. John then kicks the gun faraway from the men on the floor. He takes one last look at Tega. He makes a sign of the cross.

Just then, the doorpost becomes blocked, by Schemers men, all armed to the teeth, with their guns pointing at the last three standing. Edogho looks at his wristwatch. He wonders where Balogun is.

"Don't even think of fighting back. Shift backwards" the leader among them says. He's dark in complexion, probably in his late twenties or early 30s, 6'5 tall. Schemer definitely has a good taste when it comes to hiring goons.

"You're seriously outnumbered" He continues "Go check on the Boss" he tells one of his men. A simple tap on the shoulder of Schemer brought him back from his unconscious state. He opens his eyes slowly, before getting up. As he sees Mr Samuel, Edogho and John all surrounded by his men, he smiles. His brain quickly recalls and he knew how he'd passed out. He gets up.

"You can't run from James. You started this, Oga Samuel, now you'll end it" He says.

Mr Samuel and John exchanges looks, while Edogho bent his head downwards. John spots a shadow sneaking just behind the door, and from the shape of it, it belongs to a woman. He looks at his dad, and then everyone else, apparently, none had seen her. He knows that shape, if it's true, then he's in trouble. He hopes that isn't Angela, he's heard a few of her recent doings, and he's afraid she might go for the kill when she spots him. Then he sees the shadow again, he turns to make sure they don't suspect anything. No doubt, she's Angela! But why is she not escaping but instead trying to rescue us? He asks himself. The answer will come another day.

Balogun is now inside the building. All the doors look alike and it baffles him. He walks gently, ears well glued to the ground, listening for the slightest of sounds. He suddenly realizes he's on his second round of walking, having passed the door with the word. EXIT before. He decides to go from door to door, hopefully, he'll locate the one Edogho is in.

He opens the first, and the silence in it is a real indicator that at that moment, it's void of life. He did the next, and next, and next, until the 5th one. He sees it's scattered somehow different from the others, and he knew it is the one he was looking for. He steps in quietly.

Hmmmmmmm, worth the wait

I'm glad you're impressed ma'am

Balogun is still, hands raised up, he silently says a prayer. The guard is taking too long, he wished the guard comes with a metre of him, so he can take him down. From the corner of his eyes, he can see the guard moving, taking his time, suspecting even the innocent wind blowing. The guard stops.

"Comot first make I see. Shift go your left side, small small. No tempt me o" the guard says.

Balogun moves slowly and stands fixed, 3metres from his previous position. He watch as the guard goes to check his dead colleague, eyes and gun still fixed on him. He prays the guard makes a mistake, and seconds later, his prayers were answered. The guard turns his face to check on his dead colleague properly, Balogun needed no further invitation. In a second he brings out his gun, the guard turns, both fires shots but only the guard is hit. Balogun is on the ground, he gets up, turns and stares at the damage the bullets did to the wall behind him. He slips the gun back into it's position and continues walking, aware of the danger now, due to the gunshots.

Slowly, suddenly aware of the silence that enveloped the place, despite the gunshots. He had thought he'd see guards all over the place. He sees a red door, he pushes it open, slowly, still, no single guard. The passage is quite dark, but there's light at the end, which is quite traceable.

Oh, how these kind of movies thrilled him! Only that, now, he's and actor and this scene wasn't preplanned. He walked briskly and carefully across the passage, it leads to a bigger room. On one side, is the power plant, big enough for an estate, and that have him wondering what he's in for. He surges forward, towards a door, painted red. It was firmly locked from the inside, he twisted the knob, no sound came out.

He moves his ears close to the door, trying to grasp any sound, it is either the door is too thick to transmit sounds, or the place is also as quiet as a graveyard. He only has two options, break the door, or break the door. He stands for a moment to stare at the door. In a flash, he runs back and forth, using his large right foot, he kicks the door and it swings open.

Angela sneaks from room to room, she makes sure she's aware of everything moving, even sometimes, she suspects her shadow to be that of another person. The metal in her hand feels too heavy and makes her inconvenient, she badly wants to dispose it but the situation at hand requires she hold it, even though she doesn't know how to use it.

She hears a sound from one of the rooms ahead of her, she bends down. She is now on her fours. She creeps towards the room emitting the sound. She can now hear it faintly but distinctly. She can place the owners, no doubt, John is in there, but what is he doing there? She figures she'll have to wait a little longer, but now, she has to hide from the owners of the feet marching towards her direction, probably towards the same room she's trying to venture into.

"John" Schemer begins, squeezing his fist that his fingers make a cracking sound "you'll always be a woman, always lazy, always waiting for an old man who just wouldn't mind his dying life to make decisions for you." He pauses, stares at the people around him, trying to ensure he gets all their attention. Satisfied that all eyes were on him, he continued "staying with a woman you don't like......"

Mr Samuel counters him, interrupting Schemer in the process. "Why not go straight to the point? It will do you no go if you procrastinate"

"Are you giving me orders again? I don't work for you anymore......"

"But others do!" Mr Samuel once again interrupts. This infuriates Schemer and scrambles towards the table so as to get to Mr Samuel. So blinded was he, that he didn't see the harmless John coil his two fists into one and throw a punch at his face. Taken aback by surprise and not really the weight of the punch, Schemer crashed, landing on the floor like a bag of cement.

The doctor moves to draw out his gun but was beaten to it by Tega, he raises his hands up. Tega, is armed with two guns, one pointing to The doctor's head, while the second is pointing to Schemer on the floor. "Lose the others quick!" He bellows at John.

Schemer gets up slowly, looks at Tega, his eyes didn't show life, colder than winters winds, his lips bears a small cut, not bleeding though but the cut as a little red on it. The cut is fresh- could a punch from John do such damage? "I'm unimpressed" He says to Tega, walking toward him in gigantic, confidence glaring, smile daring.

Tega freezes, and for a moment, lost his confidence. "Stay back!" He barks "One more step, you both are gone"

"You'll do no such thing" Schemer says. This is dangerous Schemer thinks, he will try his luck. But whether Tega will shoot or not, he didn't get to find out as Edogho jumps on him from behind.

Both of them crashes on the floor, taking a couple chairs along with them. Thankful for the little distraction caused by the rumble between Schemer and Edogho, the two biggest guys available, the doctor hits Tega's right hand, thereby setting the gun on motion, it flies away from Tega's hand and landed on the floor. Before, Tega could bring his other hand, he was already en route to the floor, the doctor on top of him.

Tega then pushes the doctor from off him using his leg. He gets up quickly and releases a punch on the doctor's face. The doctor reacts quickly, pushing Tega aside and stands up. Tega makes another move, he punches the doctor who countered it with a wave of his hand, the doctor punches back but Tega ducks, and sends another punch and the doctor goes crashing. Obviously, Tega is strongest among both of them. He picks up the gun and fired a shot, and it sinks in the wall behind the doctor's face. The doctor retreats, leaving the floor open to only Edogho and Schemer.

Schemer looks like he's having fun with the way he's arranging punches upon punches on Edogho's face. Edogho is now bleeding profusely, from cuts across his lips, eyebrows, and nose.

John, apparently tired of the scene, breaks the one the table's foot, and without thinking, he whips Schemer's head with it. Schemer, turns, surprise well written on his face. He gets up, advancing towards a retreating John but stops on his tracks by a voice.

"Don't move a step further!" Tega says "This time, I'll shoot, try me"

"Sure" Schemer doesn't look convinced "I'll do what the hell I please, whether you like it or not! Who the hell even gave you the guts to betray me? I'll kill this useless Inspector and avenge myself on you before dealing with the goats you're helping"

Edogho is weak, he tries getting up with all the strength he could muster, then slumps again.

"Lazy fool! Who even recruited you?" Schemer taunts. Staring at John, he says "Finally you're a little brave, but now is the wrong time"

"Waste the fool and save us his sermon" Mr Samuel finally speaks, adressing Tega.

Tega pulls the trigger on Schemer, who falls down, bringing a Revolver out, he plants a slug in Tega's chest. Tega falls, screaming, terrified. He could feel his blood boiling, gushing out, his view begins to fade.
