Now this is discouraging

"Why don't we let her go just as the Boss had instructed?" Tega asked.

Schemer turned to stare at him and Tega saw his bloodshot eyes and instantly regretted asking.

"Don't dare question my moves again!" Schemer barked at him, whilst shaking his fists threateningly. He continued calmly

"I'm taking over this empire and it's either you in or you're out. Pick one."

Tega trembled at the thought of betraying Schemer, and he knew it's not right but neither is Schemer. Schemer should've released Angela, that was the Boss's order but Schemer refused. He, Tega knew he owes Schemer his life, but he owes the Big Boss too but now, he can only pledge his allegiance to only one. If he says no to Schemer, he's going to die, no to the Boss and he'll have to wait to find out if Schemer can conquer the Boss.

"I'm with you" Tega said finally.

"Good! Now let's go do some damage" Schemer said triumphantly.

"Wait!" Tega said. Schemer stopped in his tracks and gave Tega a puzzled look.

Tega thought for a second, he'd wanted to say no to Schemer there and then and face his wrath but he decided against it.

"I'll ride and die with you" he said slowly

Schemer walks up to him, pats him on the shoulder and backs off quickly. He knew Tega isn't saying all he's got to say but why should he bother? Tega I isn't and won't be a threat, he'd eliminate him soon, he thought. He smiled at the thought and peeped Tega following him like a programmed robot.

He opened a door that has a sick, battered and underfed Angela with one of her legs chained to her sickbed, lying on the sickbed, sleeping. Even in her sleep, her face bears a troubled look and of one experiencing excruciating pains. 3 men guarded her.

The two men Stared at her for a while before Schemer ordered her bodyguards out. Tega looked on with pity but what could he do without invoking Schemer's wrath? He looked down and he knew it won't be long before the Boss comes crashing down on them.

Schemer walked up to her side, she was patched up with bandages on her arms, one of her legs and neck. She was a sorry sight to behold. He looked at the once gorgeous Angela, now looking frail and ugly. He felt her pulse, then she opened her eyes wearily.

"What happened?" She asked

"You fell down the stares" Schemer said sardonically "that's what you get for trying to prove wiser than Schemer"

She made a move to hit him but couldn't raise her hands.

"I can't feel my body" she cried

"Yes darling. Stay calm till the doctor returns" schemer said smiling

"You monster" she said weakly

"Yea, I admit, I'm a monster, but what will you call the one who instigated this kidnap? Who turned us to what we are today?"

"Who?"

"Your Father in law, Mr Samuel"

Angela's eyes opened wide, Tega was shocked!





Edogho saw Okorie already placed on a.stretcher and rushed to his side. He saw that first aid treatment has been ministered to him.

"Boss, she's safe" he whispered

"Thank you" Edogho managed to say before Okorie was wheeled away.

"Five fully armed men dead, all killed by one policeman, Okorie is truly an asset" Double E's assistant said

Edogho turned, they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

"Any other findings?" He asked his assistant

"Yes. There were two Jeeps, one was carrying these ones, the other simply drove by, according to eyewitnesses. They're after something. Some also said Okorie was with a woman"

"My wife"

"Your wife? What is happening?"

"The kidnap case is gone wild, she isn't safe"

Just then, a call came to the Assistant's phone. He picked up, then gave it to Double E. After 3 minutes of talking with the caller, it was all smiles for the Inspector. His assistant looked at him Expectantly.

"She's safe!" He exclaimed. And the other policemen starting clapping. And chants of Okorie rented the air.

Okorie knew his time was up when instead of his backup team, he saw one of the Highlanders he was running from. He was running 360km/hr already yet the highlander was catching up with him. He looked at Double E's wife and tension was written all over her. He has a promise to keep, and he owed Double E his life or so he thought.

It was late, so the road was free, smooth but the situation was a rough one. He drove continuously for 6 minutes, his heart skipping a beat every time he looks at his side mirror. The only reason he's alive is because they do not want to kill Mrs Edogho, that he knew and he's ready to exploit the advantage. He sight from afar a street, bustling with people, probably there's a party there. He swerved off the road into it, almost hitting some innocent bystanders in the process.

"Witch! God go punish you oo! Dey drink dey drive! Monkey!" They poured all sorts of cuss words at him. He didn't have time for it, even if he had, he's on the wrong. He got down, pulled Mrs Edogho out and walked off on foot.

The highlander drove into the street, the occupants got down, 5 armed men, ready to kill. The sight of them sent the people running away.

"Wey you come here!" One of them, apparently the leader, bellowed at a young man who saw them late.

"Bros, I no do anything o" he said shakily

"Where the people wey get this motor pass?"

"Them go straight"

"Oya fly now!" The leader said and they marched on, while the young man stood still, his urinary system malfunctioning.

Okorie kept moving, a gun in one hand, the other roughly pulling Mrs Edogho along. He stopped abruptly.

"Do you have any money on you?" He asked her

"Y-Y-yes" she replied

"Follow this route, it'll take you to a junction. Board a car from there to Yvonne's. Hurry up!"

Mrs Edogho walked as fast as she could, scared as hell. On a normal day, she'd cat walk down a street but today, she doesn't care about her steps. She walked briskly until she couldn't see Okorie anymore. She thought of her husband, she silently prayed God keep him and Okorie safe. She made up her mind there and then, after this, Edogho is resigning, whether he likes it or not. No sooner had she reached the junction when she heard shots. Hot tears trickled down her face as she boarded a tricycle.




The men grabbed Angela and disposed her off her weapons. They dragged her along the way she'd come. She yelled, kicked and pulled yet the men's hold on her did not for once lessen. As they drag her along, she couldn't help noticing a door with a sign different from others. The sign, was that of love, with an arrow piercing through it. She wondered what it meant. She needs the escape and though she has no idea, she thinks that is her way out. She closed her eyes, relaxed as they drag her along. Then with her last strength, she pulled off from them. In a jiffy, she was at the door, she yanked it open and ran into the dark staircase. She fell down.





Double E tore through the streets with a Bike,he'd borrowed it from Balogun. The day is still early and he was scared. Balogun had made him believe his wife is not safe even with the team he'd placed to accompany her. He followed the road he'd instructed Okorie to pass, praying inwardly to find both of them safe and sound. He saw some policemen gathered around scene and his heartbeat increased.

He parked and rushed there, he saw the members of the backup team, all dead and would've shed tears but determined to keep it manly. Inwardly, he vowed to get James or anyone who's have a hand in it. He spoke to the officer in charge.

"Any sign of Okorie?"

"None yet sir but there's been shootings at Akpoguma close sir"

" ok ok now send your findings to my office, let me go check out the shooting "

He left the same way he'd come, roughly. It took him nearly half an hour to get there, dawn was fast approaching. He saw his car still clean, he wondered why. He saw a couple of policemen and approached them, he halted their salute and asked them where the shootings at. They directed him and he went there with speed.
