EPISODE THIRTY-THREE

I yawned as i stretched my hands, applying pressure to my knuckles in the process.

Where are we? I asked.

It's like an hour's drive to lagos now, You've been sleeping since. What if i also slept off? Ayo asked jokingly,
Get ready to report back to your post as soon as we enter lagos. He added before i could reply his earlier question.

I intentionally frowned my face and feigned annoyance as i brought out ayo's tab from his backpack.

What are you doing?
You cant be browsing yet, we have to get out of this precarious situation before you accord yourself the pleasure of that. Ayo shouted as i launched the opera mini app on the phone.

I'm seriously bored, besides we dont know what's been happening in the world since the day before yesterday. I threw at him in protest as i made to return the device.

Wait! I can hide the ip address. He stated as he reduced the speed of the car before parking by the side of the road...

This dpo is bent on destroying me totally. Can you believe he organised a press conference and accused me of stealing his devices.

Of course, you stole his mobile phones. Ayo commented before i could finish what i was saying.

He didn't stop at that, he accused me of stealing the fund the government gave him to distribute among the officers.
Why should the money be in his office? Ayo asked.

He claimed he was planning to share the money that day, i said replying him with a sigh.

Jesus!! I exclaimed. What is it? Ayo asked, sparing me a glance before returning his focus to the road...

The former Aig is dead, i shouted. What killed him? He asked again. He was killed in his neighborhood, was on his way back home when he was shot dead. The murderer carved the deadly sign on his stomach also, i concluded as i leaned back on the chair.

What is the connection between the former aig and this murderer? I said loudly into the air.

We should get back to lagos as fast as possible, ayo voiced out after some minutes of silence.

LAGOS...

I breathed an air of relief after i noticed the car stopped. Ayo opened the boot before helping me get out.
Where are we?
We are in lagos, d and c pharmaceuticals to be specific. He answered.

We just walked past the pharmacy inside the compound before ayo pointed to a small office situated at the edge of the fence guarding the building.
Ayo was about knocking when the door opened.
What do you want? The person asked.

We came here to see musa. Aýō replied almost immediately.
Why do you want to see him?
The person asked in a shaky voice. Immediately i knew it was musa we were speaking with.

Someone very important sent us to meet him, i replied. He sent us to buy some things from you. I added.
And what could that be? He threw at us again.

Already fed up with his questions. We want some hard drugs, dont waste our time. I answered angrily.

This is the first time I'll be seeing your faces, and i have to be careful. Come in please, how much do you want. He said as we followed him in.

Do you know Ramon? Ayo asked as we settled down into the seats he offered us.

What? I dont know any ramon. He replied fearfully.

He was working here before his death, what do you know about his death?

Ayo asked as he attempted to grab his hands... Musa flinged the notebook on his table at ayo's face attempting to hit me in the process since he was still on his feet when ayo threw the question at him.

I quickly threw a punch at his throat which got him weakened, before ayo hit the back of his head...

We made him seat in the backseat of the car in his semi conscious state. Ayo greeted the security men at the gate as he slowly drove out the company's premises.

How come they allowed you drive out without them stopping to search? I asked.

Money is the root of all riches. he replied. Evil, you mean... I muttered.

EPISODE THIRTY FOUR

Where do we go from here? I asked ayo.
Another hotel of course, we can't afford to be caught at this critical moment, he replied.

By the time we got to the hotel, musa was already awake. I made him believe the only way his punishment could be minimal was for him to cooperate with us.
From the expression on his face, I believed he wouldn't be a hard nut to crack, although he refused to say anything.

Getting into the hotel was an easy process, Ago booked the hotel for himself, Before coming out to tell us the room number. Musa was the one who talked with the receptionist before our identity was confirmed by ayo after they called his room.

All this while, I could not help but wonder why musa cooperated with us. Deep down inside me, I did not trust him although ayo seemed to have no issue with his behavior.

I had just freshened up when ayo called my attention to an headline on the television. The kidnap of musa was reported and my picture was posted alongside the article. They claimed I was a suspect in the kidnapping and it was likely musa was my accomplice and I was trying to cover my tracks. Immediately, I knew it was the handiwork of the Dpo and his cohorts. Since he was a policeman. He must have suspected I saw the last message on his phone, so in a bid to cover his tracks and that of his organization, they decided to sell out musa.

It was not until the following morning before musa spoke. We had used lots of tactics which had no effect on him until ayo examined his phone and found pictures of his family on it. That was what broke him after ayo threatened to harm them.
He gave a detailed information about the organization, the head of the organization who happened to be a presidential aspirant and the favourite to win the election, how lots of pharmaceutical companies were retailers and how they murdered the former AIG of police. I was not surprised although ayo was skeptical and didn't want to believe.
Chief garba is a well respected personality, he voiced out.

Wait until you have the name of your other well respected personalities. Musa replied.

We asked him who carried out all those killings, he told us it was a foreigner who was loyal to the presidential aspirant.
All this he told us with hopes of getting a lenient punishment for his crimes. We collected the phone number of Carlos, as he called the hitman.
After brainstorming on how to end everything at once. Since it was just days to the election, and once chief garba wins, the immunity on all Office holders might prevent us from bringing him to justice.

Call him with this phone, and tell him our location. I said as I handed over the phone to musa...

Episode thirty five

Immediately musa dialled Carlos's number, ayo excused himself and left the room. I studied the expression on musa's face after he said all what we directed him to say, His face did not betray any emotions and I was sure our little plan worked.
Did he sound skeptical? I asked him.
No, he was suspicious at first but he later sounded convinced after I told him my location.
Okay, just pray everything works out, in my interest and yours too. I replied.

CARLOS...

Nigerians will always be stupid. He said to no one in particular as he hurriedly arranged his tools in a backpack, he only paused to place a call to chief garba in the process.

TINU...

Yes sir, I'm on my way to Ogun state...
Are you alone? The voice sounded from the other end in reply to her previous answer.
No sir, I brought some of our elite officers along, four of them sir.
Okay,The person in question is dangerous, so it's not necessary he's apprehended alive, if you need to shoot him...please do so. The person ordered.
Aye sir, she said into the phone before terminating the call. She suspected some foul play as she knew James was not the violent type, besides having followed the case since it was brought into limelight, she knew it was a blackmail. And all her efforts to reach James proved abortive.

Her contacts all over the country could not locate him until recently when the present AIG placed a call to the oyo state police command and gave them James location, how he got the information and why she was given the order to apprehend him remained a mystery, but from all her experiences while working with the AIG when he was the plateau state commissioner of police, she knew he behaved like a snake.
And Having risen through the ranks and knowing how corrupt the police is, she decided to lead the team that will arrest James, she believed he will not hide anything from her...that is if James is not what they say he is now.

CHIEF GARBA...

I did as you instructed, I've placed a call to the AIG, The police are on their way to that hotel. once they are almost there, you will be informed, until then proceed as planned. Musa must be silenced when you see him, we don't know if he's being brainwashed yet, the only edge we have over that policeman is his ignorance of our involvement in the situation. So make good use of that.
There will be a final meeting early in the morning tomorrow before the election holds.
Chief garba read the message again before clicking on the send option.

AYO WILLIAMS...

He rubbed his earlobe continuously, it was a common thing in his behaviour whenever he felt nervous. He made up his mind and called the nearest SSS office. He told them in plain words James location and the room where he will be found.
He returned the phone to the operator before paying for the minutes he spent on the call.
He proceeded back to the hotel and prayed his plan ends up as a success...

What is Ayo's plan?
What is tinu's plan?
What is Carlos's plan?
It's a clash of ideas and somebody's plan is meant to work out
