Angela ran with light's speed, but she stopped when she realized she wasn't being chased, no one followed her.. To her, her heading was the way out, little did she know she'd been running around.

Schemer's fortress was built in such a way that, except you know the map or you're being led out, you're not leaving. The underground was built just as big as the mansion in which he lived.

She looked around, then the realization hit her, she'd seen a familiar spot like the one she's seeing now. She moved closer, it was a door painted black, with the words 'BE CAREFUL' inscribed on it with white color. She moved closer, tried the doorknob, but it refused to give way. Then she saw Schemer's men approach her, almost half a dozen armed men. She wanted to start running only to turn around to see another set of guys coming the opposite way.





Mr Samuel walked out of his study smiling. He glanced at his watch, time is 6:00am on the dot. He walked outside, he jumped into his white Toyota corolla when his phone rang.

"How's it going?.....Let it go, it's getting too much..... I said let it go.....don't bite the hand that feeds you....didn't I just say let it go?.....if anything happens to it, you're dead!" He ended the call fuming.

"Mr Balogun of the SSS, undercover agent, what do I owe this intrusion?" Mr Samuel said.

Mr Balogun then came out from his hiding place in the back seat, surprised that the man he's supposed to kidnap already knows him. He wasted no time in putting his gun to the Mr Samuel's head.

"Are you dodging my question?" Mr Samuel asked

"I want to question you"

"I didn't kidnap my daughter in-law"

"Stop being diplomatic Mr Samuel. You didn't kidnap her but you know something about it. Now drive"

"Believe me when I say you're lost" Mr Samuel ignited the car, and the gate swung open and he drove through it.

They drove for a few minutes, as soon as they hit the main road, Mr Samuel broke the silence.

"Is Mr Edogho with you on this?

"Focus on your driving"

"You're chasing a lost course, I didn't kidnap her"

"Drive into the next street"

Mr Samuel pulled over into a street. The place looked scanty like people haven't been living there for ages. Uncompleted buildings littered all over the place. Mr Samuel kept driving, his mind wandering far and wide, near and narrow, to and fro.

"Stop here" Balogun ordered "now get down"

Mr Samuel did.

"Walk three steps forward. Anything other than that and you're silenced"

Balogun got down from the car and walked up to Mr Samuel. He searched Mr Samuel's pockets and collected his phone.

"Now move"

Mr Samuel stood still.

"What are we doing here?" He asked innocently.

Balogun held him by the neck and dragged him into the house. Balogun was wearing a black face cap, black polo shirt, a black Jean and a black canvas to match.

The house is a big one, the walls are yet to be painted and it's still under construction.





While Okorie and his team drove Mrs Edogho, he tried cracking some jokes, so as to ease the tension he knew she's feeling. Then his walkie talkie came on again.

"Sir, they're closing in on......" the line went dead. He could hear gunshots and screams. From his side mirror he can see his team being attacked. He quickly called for more back up. He accelerated and off he went.

Schemer's team received a call to attack and bring Edogho's wife at all costs. Another squad had joined them so they attacked the team in the Corolla first. They drove up to them and opened fire. The policemen were taken by surprise, and just when they wanted to hit back, they realized that the weapons of their attackers are more sophisticated than theirs. As if that is not enough, another squad ran into them and they realized the battle's lost. The Corolla's driver swerved off the road.

Schemer's boys followed suit, but one squad continued the chase. They fired shots upon shots at the Corolla until they were sure no one is alive before driving off.

"Talk to Mr Samuel, he knows something" Balogun said after listening to Edogho's story.

They're sitting in Balogun's room in the boys quarters of the house in which he, Balogun resides. The lights in the house were switched off, and only lit up by the moon's rays. They both sat on a chair opposite each other, separated by a table with 2 bottles of stout resting on it. Both men conversed in hushed tones.

"I think so but his acts keeps putting me in doubt" Edogho said.

"Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, we'll approach him but we have to put a few things I place. You said James once napped your wife right?"

"Yes"

"He'd do it again"

"I have positioned some men to protect her"

"Well, if he's really what you're presenting him as, then your wife isn't safe"

"What are you suggesting I do?"

He beckoned to Edogho to move closer and whispered into his ears.

"Are you sure it's going to work?" Edogho asks.

"So far your tactics aren't working, are they?"

Edogho kept quiet and drank his beer.





Mr Samuel was in his bedroom sleeping when he woke up to the ringing of his phone. He'd normally switch off his phone before sleeping but recent incidents had taught him otherwise. He rolled over and picked his watch from the stool that stood close to the king sized bed. The time was 4:30am.

"This better be good" he hissed. He got up from his bed. He wore a white robe measuring up to his knees. He picked up the phone at the second ring.

The number was an unknown number.

"Good Morning" he greeted the caller. "Yes, speak up"

He kept his ear glued to his phone for close to 6 minutes before ending the call.

He walked into the bathroom, the sound of running water could be heard from the room. He came out after 5 minutes with a towel hanging on his neck, his robe still on. He ransacked the wardrobe and came out with a black trouser, a cream colored long sleeve shirt with black shoes.

In a jiffy, he was dressed and ready to leave.




John was in his room sleeping, a girl by his side, both covered by the large blue blanket. His phone rang, the girl got up first and tapped him gently, then violently.

"John. John. Jooohhhhnnnnn!" She called.

”hmmmm hmmmm what's it?" He replied sleepily.

"You have a call frooommmm a strange number"

"Give it to me"

She picked the phone from the floor and passed it to John.

"Hello.....yes yes.....okay? So? That's none of my business.....to hell with all of you.....is that why you called me?....bye!" He said finally and angrily.

The girl stared at him foolishly, while he merely looked at her and hissed, got up and walked into the bathroom. He was stark nàked. He looked at her again before proceeding. She was dark in complexion, big lipped and carries a darli yaki attachment on her head.

"How did I even end up with such an ugly thing?” he wondered aloud. He haven't forgotten about the previous day's incident. He hissed again. Then washed his face before heading back to the room.
