°•°•°•°•°

The ride was a silent one...it was strange but no one had anything to say, or should I say we had a lot to say but we were all deep in thought and possibilities.

Anyone who reads the presentation strange eyes had prepared for me about the shadows and the way they operated would know that they were deadly people...an elite group...truly a force to be reckoned with. I on the other hand had seen one of them in action...he had been inches away from ending my life at the hospital and plunging the needle into my neck...and just the past week, I had killed a shadow...surely I could do it again?
But truth be told, I was afraid...very afraid.

"We're at third mainland bridge right now..." The fake captain announced. He was behind the wheel, with agent Tonye in front..strange eyes and I where behind. I tried to draw strength from the fact that we were four in number...and all of us were adequately trained...I could say I had been trained by experience, which was the best teacher of all.

The captain's announcement was met with silence...no one said anything, and I was wondering how long the silence would last when the ringing of my phone broke it.

It was my father. This was a bit strange...because most times I spoke to my father over the phone, he seldom called me. It was usually my mother and after talking she'd hand the phone to my father who was always near by. I picked the call..wondering, but happy to hear from him.
"Hello"
"Rex...my boy..how are you?"
"I'm fine...how are you?"
"I'm okay..where are you?"
"I'm...I'm...I just left the hospital now..I went to see Andy...where are you? That place is noisy"
"Eh? I can't hear you...wait lemme find somewhere quiet"
The noise quieted down..he must have moved to somewhere quiet.
"What did you say?" He asked again
"I just left the hospital...I went to see Andy" that wasn't exactly a lie. "Where are you?"
"Oh...De' Omiridan's first daughter...I'm not sure you remember him...his daughter is having her naming ceremony today...we're just about leaving...but your mother have disappeared inside the house"
I couldn't really remember the person...but the name was familiar and I guessed my mother was close friends with the wife also.
""Okay..that's good..hope the place isn't too far from the house..its getting late already"
"No its not...Rex..that wasn't why I called you"
I glanced at strange eyes...he was watching me intently and I suddenly wondered if he could catch both sides of the conversation from the earphone... I switched the phone to the other ear.
"what is it..what's wrong"
"I've been having this feeling...a bad feeling...and your name keeps coming to my mind...I know you're involved in some dangerous things and I've been worried...and I had a dream..."
I could see why he was shaken...my dad hardly dreamt...right from my childhood, I could always remember him saying it..he didn't dream..when he shut his eyes, that was it. I had heard him joke to friends more than one occasion that when he was tired and asleep, evert part of him was asleep..his mind was not permitted to 'act film' behind his eye lids..that was how he had put it...for him to be telling me he had a dream now...and I could hear the worry in his voice...I didn't need to ask him what the dream was about.
"Rex..you're not safe...whatever it is...you're about to do..don't do it..I've been having this feeling since I woke up and I didn't want your mother to know or else worry would kill her...but please...boy...promise me you're not about to so something right now that will endanger your life!"
I didn't blink. "I promise" I replied. "I assure you...I'm about to meet Olivia and drive home now..I just saw Andy and he's already walking about..I'm not about to endanger myself"
From the front seat..Tonye turned to look at me.
"Hmmmm...okay..." My dad said and I heard the relief in his voice "is Olivia there..let me speak to her...your mother and I have really missed her"
"Eh..so its only her...you didn't miss me..."

But to be honest I was thinking of how to get out of the tight spot I had put myself...finally I said "no..I've been waiting for her to come out of the toilet...I'd call you back when we're in the car"
"Okay...hopefully I'd have seen your mother by that time" he replied..
Immediately I ended the call, I put my phone in aeroplane mode. I needed all my attention right now...I couldn't afford to let my phone ring and distract me..I told myself that was the main reason and not that I was tired of lying to my parents.

I had forgotten Olivia was listening from the hospital via the earphone, she spoke up "Rex...Rex...I'm worried.."
"Don't be..we're going to save the women and I'd be with you in no time"

The car was silent again. I almost felt like telling the fake captain to slow down...he was really eating the road up and the needle on the speedometer must have been nearing 100...Don't be deceived though, my thoughts were not for safety reasons...rather the fact that we were getting closer to Ikoyi and the warehouse so fast....

Strange eyes was leaning into the booth from the backseat rummaging around for something...finally he sat down and dumped something in my lap.
"Strap up" he announced.
I looked at it...it was a kevlar vest...a bulletproof vest.
I didn't waste time..I put it on immediately, over my shirt. Fastening the side hooks, I asked.. "What about you guys?"
He tapped his chest and Tonye replied.."when we were waiting for you, we already put on ours..." She turned to look at me again..."you had better wear yours under your shirt... In the split second before someone shoots at you..a trained assassin might change his mind and aim for your neck up if he notices you have a vest on"

What!!!!
She didn't need to tell me twice...I stripped down in the backseat and was just strapping the kevlar vest over my bare chest when the fake captain announced "we're almost there...about ten minutes away"
He had gotten off the main express and was now in a less busy road.
I hurriedly buttoned my shirt up..mismatching the buttons in the process and starting all over again.

Strange eyes who had been mute all along had suddenly found his voice "Okay..the key is strategy...Rex..you need to remain covered all the time..the ware house has two side entrances and a main entrance, the best thing would be we all split and cover all the entrance...one person per entrance"
"How about the fourth person?" I asked him
"It would just be the three of us..Tonye would remain in the car and provide us with Intel"
"Which yeye Intel?! I'm going with you...I'm a field agent..field agents don't sit in cars while her partners are working.." She sounded determined...enraged even.
From the front the fake captain added. "I agree with her...we have all the basic Intel we need about the layout of the warehouse...we have no visuals about what to expect or how many to expect so we have to make sure we're prepared"
Strange eyes was quiet..defeated..I didn't see what he had meant and I was about to rub it in that his point was invalid but then I thought back to the accident he had told me about...the incident he had almost lost his eye sight and had lost his partner..agent Nancy or so...it had happened in a warehouse too and she had died...I knew how he felt about agent Tonye now and I could tell he was having feelings of déjà vu again...I could understand..so I kept my mouth shut.

The ware house was massive...it stood in an industrial area..surrounded by companies and offices..there were no residences around this stretch of land..and as we drew nearer, that was the first thing I noticed...no wonder the location had been chosen..this way there were no nosy neighbours and basically nobody in general to notice any strange movements.

The whole area was lit up with streetlights, no doubt courtesy of the different companies on both sides of the road.
Tonye had the tab out and was giving the driver directions, "we're almost there...it should be on the next street"...she said excitedly. I swallowed and held on to the gun tightly...searching for whatever comfort it could bring...instead I closed my eyes as the faces of my parents, Olivia, Fome, Andy, Mona suddenly attacked my conscience...and the last face I would see was Fumi...the same way I had seen her take her last breath...on the bathroom floor with blood gushing out of her mouth...I suddenly felt angry..her death had been avenged by strange eyes and his agents when they killed the old crooner..but in the bigger picture the real killers were out there...same with Mona..I had knelt over her lifeless body and felt helpless but the real killers were out there...and I had a chance to shoot at them now...I gritted my teeth..converting the anger to adrenaline- if it was possible "lets do this!" I announced suddenly and the other occupants of the car looked at me...even the driver took his eyes off the road for a second to glance at me. It seems the energy spread slowly and Tonye was the first to contact it..."yes....let's go kick some ass!" She whipped out her pistol,switched the safety off and pulled the rooster back...it resulted in a snapping sound that was really reassuring...strange eyes nodded watching the woman he loved and the worry cleared from his eyes and he nodded vigorously..."yes..let's go shine the light on some stupid shadows!!"
"Good...Good...cause we're here" the captain announced.

We had turned into the street...we all fell quiet and Tonye killed the screen of the tab.

°•°•°•••°°
The streetlights ended at the beginning of the street and the driver killed the headlights. We coasted down the road slowly...the jeep crawling forward slowly, inch by inch.
"Rex..take the right entrance...Dexter..you take the left..Tonye and I would go through the main"

I wanted to ask strange eyes why he was whispering but Tonye had a better question.
"Why leave Rex to go alone? He hasn't been trained like us..his shooting isn't nearly as perfect like us...he shouldn't be covering a door on his own"
"That's a valid point" the driver added
"Hmm..that's true...okay I'd take the side...Rex you and Tonye go through the main..good luck"
I spoke up. "I would have preferred if we all went through the main..the four of us..instead of separating...surely they couldn't handle us all?"
"Rex..divide and conquer is the best tactics trust me.."

I wasn't about to back down.
"I think you're missing the point of divide and conquer..it means you divide your opponents and conquer them..you don't divide yourselves"

The street must have been a very long one...we could only hear the noise of industrial generators from both sides..probably for the night shift production of whatever was being produced.
We bantered to and fro on the formation...all the agents felt we should split up..but I was all for us staying together.
"If you play call of duty...when your character is armed surrounded by about four-five soldiers all armed..nothing beats that feeling..that's when victory is guaranteed"
Strange eyes laughed it off like I knew he would...how could I compare gaming experience to real life...he had seen real field battle...all it would take was a very strong automatic gun...a SAW or maybe an RPG even and we were all gone...if we went in together at once that could-
The driver interrupted him...
"It seems we may have no choice after all..."
"What do you mean?" Strange eyes asked then he exclaimed in a whisper "Blood of Zechariah!"

We were at the ware house now...and we all looked at what had made strange eyes exclaim...there was a container truck parked in front of the warehouse.
The door of the containers were open and there was something like a ladder running from the entrance to the floor.

It was happening! The widows were being loaded up again!
This time..from here to the wharf were a ship was probably waiting.

#Team Olirex

Keep it coming soul. Definitely, a bloody bloodbath is in the offing but, Rex and his team has to come out alive, though, they can't make it unscathed. Chief Amunike and his accomplice has to be apprehended. Widow initiatives and it's operations also has to be brought to a halt.... My thoughts though.... I must admit that this is the best season film I've ever seen... More blessings unto you and all the followers...
