[b]Where do I start? Like seriously.
My absence is not down to the sallah celebration. I have the updates ready since the day I promised to update, but I have been unable to because my bro had to travel with the phone. I can't retype what I have typed, I can only add to it.
He is likely to return tomorrow, then I can drop what I have on the phone with him and the ones I have here.
@Shebarh: your anger should be checked. You don't know why I haven't updated, you shouldn't tell me I have lost interest in a story. I won't start a story if I know I can't finish it. You telling me I have lost interest in the story is very wrong, but I will ignore it.
Forget about having a life outside Nairaland. I have a life outside Nairaland when I wrote AIAC. I started paying more attention to my life outside Nairaland the day I discovered that all everyone here cared about is regular update and not my well being.
Do you think if I have the chance I won't update? And to say I have the updates ready. I will update when I am able to update. Ask other writers how they do their thing.
Onemansquad is a reader too, a lot of other people are reading the story, none of them comes here to talk anyhow about my lack of update or whatever. Just like skimpledawg said.
My writing here is not to get popular or get fans, I do what I do cos I love doing it. If writing here will make people tell me what is not, I won't be able to take that.
I sincerly apologize for my absence, and just as expected, I will always return.
Goodnight y'all.[/b]

I believe everytime I post on this board(literature) it should always be an update. Coming here to give excuse is not my thing. I hate giving excuses.
That explains my silence.

The N.A.T.U team deployed to arrest Mayor arrived the premises of Access bank plc.
"Let's go guys." The team leader said as soon as the car came to a halt and about five armed men alighted and made for the entrance into the bank where they were stopped by a security guard.
"Agent Malik, N.A.T.U." The team leader said.
"Welcome." The guard said leading them towards the security door where several bank security men were camped. About three of them.
"We've been awaiting your arrival for the past fifteen minutes. Even though the bank has been on a lockdown since then. And thank God, we have cooperating customers who understood the situation and even submitted their phones to enable us confirm which of them made the tracked phone call." The guard said as he opened the security door and they all filed in.
"Keep your calm ladies and gentlemen. I am Agent Malik, N.A.T.U. Your safety is guaranteed here and believe me, nothing will go wrong today. All we have to do is arrest our suspect. The issue of gun battle is impossible because he couldn't have entered the bank with his gun." Malik explained.
"Can we get a playback on the CCTV?" He asked. "That way, we can know those who made phone calls inside the banking hall." He adviced.
And immediately, one of the bank staffs took the responsibility of playing back all the recordings captured by the CCTV camera located strategically inside the banking hall.
"Take the count please." He ordered the banker.
As the tv played back on previous happenings in the banking hall, the banker in charge of it took her time zooming in and out of each customer's faces as the made calls.
"Wait right there." Malik ordered.
Displaying on the screen was a man making a call. Malik scanned the hall with his eyes until he spotted the man standing next to the air conditioner.
"Come over here sir." He said to the man who calmly moved to where he was.
"Can I have your mobile number?" Malik asked.
The man suspecting nothing dictated his number to Malik who wrote it down on his phone, and once he was done, he dialled the number.
From the tens of phones arranged on the bank counter, a blackberry rang out and Malik instantly picked up the phone, terminated the call and searched through his call log.
"He is not the one." He said.
The search continued for a few more minutes without any success recorded. Until one of the N.A.T.U agents adviced that they make use of time in their search.
"This criminal recieved the call around 11:06Am..."
"That's him right there." Malik screamed immediately Mayor's picture came displaying on the screen, at the same time scanning with his eyes. "Where is he?"
The CCTV was forwarded to minutes later which coincided with when Mayor was making his way out of the bank with a popular politician.
"Why did you allow this man to leave?" Malik asked angrily.
"It wasn't our fault. We couldn't recognize him and we couldn't keep the former commissioner in waiting. And since he is with the commissioner, our hands are tied." The head of security explained.
"That's nonsense. The days of executive imunity are over for the ex commissioner. He is no longer in office, hence he should be treated as an ordinary citizen." Malik poured out. "I need this guy's picture and profile right about now. He is a customer of this bank. His residential address is very important, get his account details."
That moment, Malik's phone vibrated: a new text message from Danny Lovato.
Clara is in trouble. Your people at N.A.T.U are almost closing in on her. Leave whatever you are doing and ensure that your N.A.T.U people do not get to her. Clara must not leave the hotel where she is, and the N.A.T.Y team must not get to the hotel."
Malik looked around the hall for any prying eyes. Seeing that no one saw the change in his countenance, he beckoned on two out of the four men attached to him.
"Read this." He showed them the message.
The two men exclaimed. "What do we do now?" They asked.
"We need to get out of here first." He replied. "You two go and wait for me in the car. I will find a way to excuse myself from this two jew men."
With this, Malik approached his colleagues, and after a minute of discussing in hushed tones, he walked out of the bank, leaving the two behind to go an join his men who were part of the moles planted by Lovato.

Mark and his team were five minutes away from the hotel where Clara was lodged. One of the men on Mark's team was digging up the map of the hotel. A four star international hotel it was.
"There are two main entrance into the hotel premises." He started. "The first is the main gate which is always opened to aid smooth movement into the hotel. There is the exit gate on the west of the main gate, meaning both the entry and the exit are in front of the hotel. There is a pedestrian gate behind the hotel. I think its a door cos it is marked 'D' here. The behind door is next to a bush which is next to an abandoned plastic making company. The plastic company is now next to the Lagos-Ore expressway."
"Are you saying on escape from the hotel through the backdoor, one lands on the express road?" Mark asked.
"Yes sir. But I think the greatest hurdle is how to get to the express road. Crossing the plastic company. It is made up of tick bushes, and walking through the bush is dangerous, which leaves us with jumping into the company, walking the whole distance, then jumping when one reaches the front. But who knows what's lurking inside a building that has been abandoned for almost two decades." He explained.
"All these will take how many minutes?" Mark asked.
"According to the measurement here, I think whoever is to take that route will spend ten minutes, that is if he or she has her way planned out. If they have access to this map. But for every human, there will be a time to think of how to scale the bush, an approximate of fifteen to twenty minutes is safe." He explained.
"We need backup." Mark announced.
"That's the hotel." One of the men said pointing to a three storey building painted in white.
"Get the local police on the line. A checkpoint should be mount on the express road you said. A stop and search should also be in place." Mark instructed no one in particular. "We need a backup team. Get the DSS situation room on phone. Give them our location."
The driver brought the car to a halt five blocks away from the hotel.
"Get Agent Christina on the line, know her exact position and how she is doing." Mark said as he alighted from the car.
"But sir...." One of the men replied.
"Get her on phone and ask her the questions. I will pay for the call charges." Mark replied. Just then, his phone started ringing.
"Agent Mark." He said.
"Yes sir, this is Agent Malik." The caller answered.
"Yes? Any problem?"
"At all sir, but there is a situation." Malik replied.
"Spill it." Mark urged.
"Survellance cameras on the Lagos-Ore expressway spotted Clara being transported in a cargo trailer. I think an empty fish truck." Malik explained.
"How sure are you?" Mark asked.
"Very sure." Malik replied.
"Run a search on Clara's room." Mark said to his man who immediately opened his computer.
"Her presence can be felt. Her phone."
"Any chance that she could have left and dropping her phone behind?" Mark asked.
"I doubt it sir. Dropping her phone is like handing herself over to us. We will get access to all her contacts, even if she removes her simcard, deletes her contacts. But as it stands, her simcard is still active, because if not, we would have lost her." He explained.
Mark returned his phone to his ear.
"Malik?" He called.
"Yes sir." Malik responded.
"You should be in the bank. The man Clara called should be your top target. How come you got the surveillance report? Christina should recieve it first." With this, Mark hung up.
"Lets move it." He said as the team assembled before him. "Akin, you are to lead the team two. Get ten men with you. They patrol the entrance, the exit and the door behind the building. They should go in threes and you should be in charge. I will lead team 1 into the hotel to crack down our target. Once you are able to speak with Christina, call me. And our little tactics should be sent to the office. The incoming DSS team should be briefed, as well as the local police." With this, Mark returned to the car where four other agents joined him and slowly, they drove towards the hotel, while the other dispersed.
--------
"Dammit! He suspected foul play." Malik informed the two agents he left with from the bank.
"That sharp American bast.rd."
"What do we do?"
"You put a call through to the office. Let's see the tactics they have in place. Mark won't lead everybody. If he delegates leading a charge to someone, then we can make it work. We will avoid him, then call the gullible agent in charge of a second or third team. Do that now." Malik said.

Tina brought her car to a halt, removed her 9mm automatic revolver from the car safe and awaited the next line of action from whoever was inside the Range Rover.
Her mind wandered to her present life, her son, her parents and of course Mike. As a woman, she couldn't have wished for anything better than the life she presently lived. Even though there was no man in it, she still loved it. She knew having a man or being married will lead to her loosing focus on her job or resigning from the job she has grown to love. Having a car of her own, a 2013 model Toyota camry, an apartment where she payed nothing less than two hundred thousand naira per annum, a fat and reliable bank account, a two plots of land where construction of her own house is going on and of course, an happy life. In the last one year, she has lived happily, except for few months ago when he problem with Daniel Martin began. Thinking about Chris, her son, her happiness, her life, and her future.
"What will become of him if things go wrong today?" was the question in her mind.
As a security operative, she knew it was risky to take on enemies without backup. But at the same time, someone has to take the risk of taking on enemies without backup.
"And to say you don't know if this is an enemy." A voice in her subconscious said.
"But, that's Clara's car. Clara is supposed to be an enemy. Also, considering the way the car stopped, the occupants may be planning something." Another voice replied.
She ignored the two voices as she kept her eyes on Range Rover.
"Backup one mile away." A voice came on her communication device.
"Copy that." She replied with a smile as she looked into the rear mirror where a FBI suv was parked a mile ago.
Just then, the door to the driver side of the Range Rover opened. And for the next half a minute, the door remained open with no entry or exit.
"Backup! Move into position." She instructed through the device and looking into the rear mirror, she could see armed men crawling into vantage positions. She smiled.
Between the split second, a heavily built man alighted from the Range Rover and made for the forest by the roadside.
Tina jumped out out of her car, taking cover with her opened door as she released quick shots towards the running man who fired back. Once, he was safely hidden behind a fig tree, she advanced towards his car.
"Backup team in a more advanced position." She said as she slowed down to allow the fast approaching members of the backup team overtake her. "Cover me." She said and instantly, three armed men formed a shield in front of her firing sporadic shots to the fig tree and the suspect behind it, while Tina advanced towards the Range Rover with the three men covering her.
"Retreat!" A familiar voice said from behind.
The gunshot died down instantly and just when the men started retreating, the suspect came out of hiding and aimed three quick shots at Tina.
In split second, her face was covered with blood as well as her white shirt.
----------
Mark and his team made their way into the hotel reception without any problem, but on trying to force their way into the elevator, the receptionist on duty vehemently refused.
"Sir, it is against the hotel's policy to allow security agents beyond the reception. Your mission here will automatically send panic into every customer, and who knows their health status." She explained to Mark who wasn't listening. "Risk aversion is something we appreciate here, but according to you, the building is surrounded, escape routes blocked. The suspect should know that it his or her time is up." she added.
"Trash. You are telling me trash. Hey guys! Move in. Suite 13 is our destination. Third floor. Move it." Mark said to his men who made for the elevator immediately. "I will get you locked up as an accomplice if I should loose out on the target today." Mark said to the receptionist before going to join his men.
--------
Clara looked distressed, scared and fragile as she paced around her room. She was expecting a call from Danny Lovato, she was expecting a call from whoever Mayor was sending over, she was expecting a call from her plan B, the N.A.T.U moles led by Malik.
Her phone vibrated that moment, a new message. She happily opened the message, expecting to see either of the aforementioned people, but got the shock of her life.
"Am sorry he forced his way in." The message reads.
She could feel her life wearing away before her. "Am done for." She cried.
