“Be careful, Christopher is armed and dangerous,” came the warning from the mobile phone, “He can kill you all without blinking an eye. Approach him with utmost caution. Take any careless action and you will become corpses in an instant.” The phone was put on speakers as the three men listened to the instructions.

“How do we identify him? We don’t even know what he looks like. Why don’t you send a picture of him to this phone so that we can know exactly who we are after.”

“No one really knows what he looks like, not even me or The Boss. All you have to rely on for now is the information you have been given about him. I’ll call you later.”

About an hour later, the call came in again.

“Where are you guys?” The voice sounded more urgent.

“We are still at the entrance of Tafawa Balewa Square, we are searching for the bearded man in the red cap. We’ve not seen anyone who fits the description so far.”

“Forget about TBS, he’s no more there; and stop searching for just a bearded man. A new intel just got to me; Chris is not only bearded. He is now spotted in Shoprite at Ikeja. Go there now! Call back when you get there, one of our operatives will be watching him until you arrive.”

The three men rushed back into the Hilux with a tinted glass and drove away.

Five minutes later, a bearded man in a red cap came out of TBS.

*********************************************************************

Thirty-one years ago, Emeka's mother had had a child out of wedlock. The shame and the struggle for survival had caused her to leave her home and reside in a village particularly far away from her relations. She stopped in this strange village to live a quiet life and bring up her child; but she met a man who fell in love with her and married her according to the custom of the village.

Immediately after the union, the couple decided to leave this village too for the city; Emeka did not deserve to grow up in a community of people who might later educate him on a history he wasn't supposed to learn; for Emeka's mother and her husband had agreed to hide the fact that the child was a bastard.

In the city, however, Emeka's parents decided to change his name to Christopher for security reasons. The little innocent Emeka became Christopher Oka. Fifteen years passed and the family increased from three to five members - three males and two females. It was a happy family; Mr Oka treated Emeka like a son, even Vincent and Margaret considered him a fully legitimate big brother. Everything went on fine with the family until Christopher, now seventeen years old, stumbled upon the truth behind his existence. He confronted no one else about this discovery, and he refused to let his feelings show. He disappeared from the house early the next morning. No one knew his whereabouts, not even his mother; and every search for Christopher proved abortive.

But unknown to the Okas, their Christopher had joined one of the dreaded gangs far away in Lagos.

Within the same month of Christopher's disappearance, killers had broken into his parents' house and brutally killed everyone. Mr and Mrs Oka, Vincent Oka and Margaret Oka - they were all slaughtered in cold blood.

Christopher's return thirteen years later set off a more brutal chain reaction.
