I observed the building as I got closer and was surprised that the boutique had no name on the outside..the walls were transparent glass and through it I could make out the various clothing designs on different mannequins... It was really impressive indeed and I observed the cars
In the lot..all were outrageously expensive indeed. A part of me was about getting intimidated but I remembered less than 24 hours ago I had looked death in the eye and survived even though I blinked..remembering the round nuzzle of the gun and the sound of gun shots gave me renewed confidence. I made up my mind to play the part to the fullest...with refreshed confidence I swaggered into the building and took it all in..it was like a mini airport or a mall even with an escalator..I looked around and was really impressed with the interior design..on one side was a picture of a beautiful lady dressed in a short black gown with heels..she wore a triumphant smile and behind her..her wings were spread wide..underneath was the caption: 'AngelsWearPradaToo' the air condition was on full blast and the place was busy with people (mostly females) moving fromssection to section..some dragging unwilling boyfriends behind. I took all this in and continued stating like a lost idiot until a sales girl approached me.."Good afternoon sir, how can I help you?"
"G-good afternoon" I stammered, then gave myself a mental kick...if I was this way in front of hired help..how would I face the 'ice queen'?
I raised my head and put authority in my voice.."I'd like to see your madam...." Heeey what was her first name again oo
The girl sized me up and was obviously not impressed..but she helped me out unknowingly.."Madam Benita? Is she expecting you?" Her voice was not unpolite but her expression was...
I stared down the barrel you b!tch..inches away! Inches...
"Listen to me carefully I'm here regarding her daughter and I'm in a position to makeher actualise her dreams of being a designer so swallow your attitude and point me in the right direction and face your real job of recommending underwear to girls like yourself "
I tell you if looks could kill I wouldn't be here writing this today...she shot me daggers and bared her teeth...she looked like one of those girls who could give a verbal killing but just as she was about to let rip a voice carried through the air..."Bisi what is the problem... Is there a problem young man?"
I turned around and saw Chiefs wife approaching me..she wore a long strapless gown with a shawl draped around her shoulders...something about her approach seemed to challenge me to rise to the challenge. "Madam good day toyou...your staff here was just pointing me to your office but in a very rude manner" I looked back when I said 'your staff' and was surprised that she had taken off..I guessed the madam really struck fear into her employees minds.
She reached where I stood also sizing me up and not bothering to hide it.." I'm sorry about that..you are a potential customer" she said it as a statement..(and if I had a hundred thousand in cash I would have burnt it right there...her marketing skills were exceptional) but I was in my 'James bond' mode so I smiled my most charming..."actually I'm more than a customer...I'm an editor of Voltage magazine..the number one fashion magazine in the country...and rising rapidly to number one in Africa"
She narrowed her eyes at me then looked at my shoes in contemplation (I curled my toes in my boot..wishing I had the chance to put on one of my impressive footwear) "voltage magazine..how come I never heard of it"
"Believe me that would change with what Ihave pplanned for your daughter's design in our next issue."
I looked around "this is a very impressive place ma'am...first class..in fact I'd like to get my camera man in here to cover all angles with your permission"
That seemed to crack her iciness to some extent...she smiled thinly.."thank you..let's go to my office and discuss"

forzarush:
Wow! In Falz's voice 'wehdone sah',I loved it and I'm glued.

Gracias ma'am...means a lot

As we approached lekki I asked strange eyes " so what is the plan exactly..?"
He squinted his eyes ahead before replying with his eyes still on the road "your story is that you are a fashion magazine editor and you want to check out her styles..and carry it in your next months issue."
"But I don't know anything about that...I'm a banker for God's sake "
"You'll have to wing it...remember you are not doing this for fun,but for Fome..the earlier you establish an easy rapport between you two..the better"
I nodded slowly...still unsure "what is the magazines name..where is the previous issue...I have nothing on me to support that claim"
"You'll have to find a solution till I contact you...I already have someone working on a suitable design for a magazine...but I can't get it till tomorrow..the name is voltage trends"
"Nice.." I was impressed again "who is working on it"
"That's classified." He said..then when I frowned, added "we have agents everywhere...now you need to start getting into character...practice the lines on me"
In less than an hour strange eyes parked beside a massive 2 story building with an outrageous design. the place spoke of wealth..and the look warned you from not entering if your pockets were not deep enough."i need to make some calls..we need to find out about that house what is he using it for?"
I nodded in agreement and made to come down but strange eyes stopped me "if you don't have a car the cover is good as blown." He got down "My number is on speed dial in your phone and I have yours..we'll communicate pls don't blow the cover..and don't blow the girl."
With that he ran across the road and as I stretched in my seat and lost sight of him...I marveled at his quickness...I sat in the car for minutes..till I decided I was postponing the inevitable..I got down and headed for the entrance..
(P.s wld modify tomorrow....practically dozing)

We got into the car and strange eyes showed me a picture of a very massive house. Cake like in shape and an architectural masterpiece. "This is the house. Chiefs wife,his two children and two maids live there"
"Its too big" I marveled at the house. I suddenly remembered something and turned to strange eyes "how many houses does the chief have?"
"Two.why?"
"About three weeks ago he pumped me with drinks and I woke up in a strange house..that was where I took the papers"
"You mean stole the papers.how was the house?where was it?"
"I was having the worst case of hang over ever I didn't really pay attention..it was when I saw the papers I came quite alive"
strange eyes looked at me with 100% concentration "think back..Rex tell me everything"

******************************
I moved closer to the table and what i saw cleared my eyes and my head. I shook my head and picked up the documents my mouth opening in shock. It was like a child finding candy..then finding instructions on how to eat the candy.in my hand was directions to a foreign account in Switzerland containing approximately 250 million naira...my hands where shaking...my red eyes were now white..my
head was clear and my mind was racing. There's always a point before every decision in ones life..where one consideres the possibilities and repercussions of any action..but all I could think of was 250 million. I had never even dreamt of that kind of money in my life. My modest salary was more than enough to sustain my bachelor life (married bachelor
as my mother would say) and I had a little over a million naira in my account..but 250 million!!! For a minute I forgot where I was as I greedily leafed through the pages..the banking statements and everything needed to transfer the money to any where in the world with just internet service. I let out a whistle as I thought of only possibilities and not repercussions. I could change my family life..take my mother to see the world,settle my father..no more stressful life for him I would be paying him pension. My sisters would be settled with all my nieces and nephews. I was a banker I could triple this amount in a couple of years and Fome....it seemed mentioning her name in my subconsious brought my head out of the cloud. I looked around the room and remembered the chief..he had gone upstairs 20 minutes ago..I put down the papers and hurried out of the room. I spaced around the parlour and started up the stairs more than once. It seemed I had two little versions of myself on each shoulder wearing white and black with a halo and a pair of horns I remained indecisive until I heard the chief the chief call my name from upstairs "Rex I'll be with you in a minute!"
(Now that I think about it..if the chief truly wanted me to find those papers he had called me on purpose to alert me he was coming down) hearing his voice seemed to tell my brain that the window was closing..i hurried back to the room and grabbed the papers..folding it neatly and placing it in my jacket pocket which i hung on my arm.
The chief was an extra 10 minutes in arriving and he offered no explanation. I was fidgeting badly consumed by guilt...but i was beginning to look at the chief in a different light....just what was he involved in that gave him such a large amount of money??..we drove out in his range back to his bungalow where i was treated to a massive meal prepared by Ndidi...she looked at me strangely with something like pity in her eyes..i thought to myself about the night before and wondered just how drunk i was the night before and if i had made a fool of myself....
*****************************
Strange eyes interrupted me as i recounted the details..."i said you should describe the neighborhood..where was the house located?"
My mind was blank...I thought hard.."I swear I don't know...my mind was on 250 mil. And I was apprehensive and afraid and my mind was cutting"
Strange eyes rubbed his face..." My God..okay like how many minutes or hours before you got back to his other place?"
I thought hard "like an hour..although we stopped at a filling station and spent time "
Strange eyes looked at me.."you see what your lack of attention to detail is costing us? We need to locate that place...but first we need to head to Chief's wife boutique..I need you in contact with his daughter asap.

Strange eyes woke me up from sleep by shaking me roughly and bringing me from a sweet dream which I immediately had trouble remembering.
I opened my eyes and stared at the dash board the time said 4:30am I squinted at strange eyes as he killed the engine. "Is it my turn to drive?"
"No its alright I believe I lost the car that was following us..we can lodge in this hotel and get some sleep"
I looked to the right to see a moderate looking hotel with the sign: 'serenity suites' "you mean a car was following us? Why didn't you tell me?"
"And what would you have done? Continued with your incessant panicking" I had no reply to that I just wanted to get some sleep.

Strange eyes woke me for the second time that day by shaking me roughly and again invading a dream about Fome' which was just about to get x rated.
"You need to stop doing that" I yawned loudly stretching I felt relaxed and refreshed daylight poured through the window
"You can sleep for Africa, its almost 8:30 if
I didn't wake you, you wouldn't wake abi"
"Oga please please brush your mouth before you start whining again" he just frowned at that. He threw a bag on the bed which contained new clothes " I had to wake the whole neighbourhood to buy those so better hope it fits"
I was really impressed I mean this guy had slept barely 4 hours and had already thought ahead while I was entertaining dreams. I made up my mind to be less sarcastic and more serious.
"So what's the next step?" I got up and started tearing a Gillette blade to shave my beards.
"Just clean up first then we'd go and have breakfast then I'd tell you the plan"

Breakfast was at a 'mama put' in a bus garage. We found parking space not far from the shop and sat on a very long bench. Surrounded by mechanics and garage 'agberos'.
"This wasnt where i expected to have breakfast this morning" i said as i gathered a large portion of beans to follow the bread i had stuffed in my mouth.
"whenever im about to discuss sensitive material im always careful about my surroundings"
I shook my head..some times this guy's mentality seemed flawed to me but I was on good behavior so I made a sound of agreement. Plus the beans was hot the palm oil sauce was on point and the bread was soft (although probably bromate filled). Strange eyes was eating a giant heap of rice and beans so he used his left hand to scroll through pictures on his phone which he showed me as he spoke.
"This is the chiefs wife..Mrs Benita Amunike..they don't see eye to eye but are still legally married"
"Wow..coogar alert" I said inbetween chews ..the woman was fair in complexion and very striking..her brows seemed to be drawn together in annoyance but strangely that only gave her a more appealing look.
Strange eyes glanced at me and shook his head but he smiled "she has a boutique which she runs, she is very classy as the picture shows..her she is in her late forties and is something of an ice queen..very strict, buy my investigation indicates she has a few boy toys around"
I nodded then looked around "madam!"
"What is it again?" Strange eyes said
"Mehn I need more beans"
"How many times will I tell you never drawaattention to yourself especially when you're in the field"
"So I should deny my stomach abi?besides this is a garage not a field"(I tried my best but strange eyes always said things that begged for a sarcastic reply)
The madam in question who had served us returned to my side "yes oga?"
"Put 50 naira beans for me"
She nodded in reply and carried my plate..
"Now focus please" strange eyes said impatiently drawing my eyes away from the woman's ample behind.
"This is the Chiefs first son Emenike is his name" I looked at the picture and marveled at the build of the guy..he was very tall and you immediately made up your mind you wouldn't want to fight this man. Strange eyes had a lot of pictures of this one and scrolled "he models" he said in explanation when I arched my eyebrows at a picture of Emenike in briefs. He was a good looking lad..fair in complexion like his mother and with her facial features buthad his ffather's head shape and went for the same bald look like his dad. It worked well for him "he's the first son" strange eyes continued "would be 25 in a few months. He already has two baby mamas and the chief has no idea about the second child as a matter of fact."
He took a break from talking as the woman approached with my refilled plate and spooned like 6 spoons in succession. I continued with mine and waited for him to continue.
"This is Ambrose he is 22 years but in school outside the country so his involvement isn't really of importance to you"
I nodded. Ambrose was like a replica of his older brother but with a full afro hair and an intelligent look.probably because of the medicated glasses he had on.
Strange eyes was done with his food and finished a full bottle water which he hadnt touched since.."do you know its best to drink water once and a short while after eating? Not inbetween"
"Thanks for the knowledge abeg show me this Ada person'
He showed me her picture and confirmed my suspicion, she was gorgeous in one word very sexy in two..nose piercings black lipstick everything the result was intriguing.."you bloody dog, this is for the mission purpose and not for your fvcking libido"
I nodded " i know that..and Fome is my priority" i looked at the picture again " the person who first said all men were pigs was probably right...you said she's just nineteen?"
"Yes she's supposed to travel out for her studies but she has a full year to pursue her dream of being a fashion designer here first..it helps that her mother owns a successful boutique"
"OK..I'm following you..lemme guess she's the Apple of papa's eye right"
"Exactly..the chief, when I was with him gave me some missions to...let's just say 'break some bones' of boys who went afterher..but to be frank she's far from a saint"
I was beginning to feel like a spy..." So what's the mode of operation and when do we start"
Strange eyes smiled.." Time to change location first..let's go to my car"
I smiled at that "you mean my car"
He laughed then called for the woman.."madam come take money o"

This children no get fear o..for church again

Tnx a lot for d mention.. Anticipating the next update

We drove in silence for hours..our minds obviously far away. Strange eyes seemed to mellow down but kept on asking me questions which I was asking myself. Who knew about the documents? Did anybody come to my house recently? Is it possible Fome took it?
I told him I only came across the cash when fome left me. He wasn't satisfied with this and kept on asking all kinds of questions..I was tired,stressed out,sleepy and hadn't had this much excitement in my life before. Strange eyes kept glancing at the rearview mirror which got me nervous
"What is it.is anyone following us?"
"No its just habit' he replied but I wasn't convinced. He overtook a night truck and I checked the time on the dash board 11:33 fatigue was claiming me but I needed to clarify something first.
"What did you mean when you said fome was in danger'
"I never said that..what I said was what if I told you she was in danger"
"Please be straight with me..she's very important to me and I have to know"
He was silent for a long while and I was beginning to get restless and frustrated when he said "about a month ago..I interrupted the chief and Fome in an ugly fight..I dont know the details of the fight but I guess it was about you."
He kept quiet waiting for me to speak and I also kept quiet waiting for him to continue when the silence was unbearable I cursed him in my mind "and.." I prompted
He took his sweet time accelerating then putting on the radio but reducing it to the background. I glanced at the fuel gauge and was surprised to see the needle on full.
"I got the impression he wanted you for something but she refused..but the atmosphere..." He shook his head " I've been with the chief for almost a year and his anger has levels..that one was the final stage that day...but your fiancé she wasn't backing down she too sef stubborn o"
You have no idea..I thought to myself.
Fome had broken off with me about 3 weeks ago and prior to that she had been in a fight with the chief just the week before..I didn't believe in coincidences any more..not after the last 24 hours.
"You've been driving around for almost an hour now what's the plan..to keep on driving till eternity?"
"I need to make sure we're not being followed. Plus I really need to think about our next action"
" I don't know about you but my next action is to find Fome and protect her."
He was silent..."you need my help..you won't last a second without me"
"I might not last a second with you also...why don't we go see your superiors..you work for the Government..the DSS we should let them know and they'll handle it"
"How do you think the chief found about my job...trust no one if you want to stay alive"
"Including you?" I asked him trying to stiffle a yawn
"Especially me..it would keep you on your toes..and I wouldn't have to worry about saving u every time"
"No dey form superman...even if you had an s on your chest it would stand for strange eyes'
I laughed at my joke and I could hear him grinding his teeth...it seems he was sensitive when it came to his eyes.
We passed a comfortable looking hotel and I sat up "theres an hotel! Let's lodge there for the night in the morning we can plan"
He drove right past it "believe me..whenever you have a little head start on the chief use it to the fullest because that mad man is unpredictable."
"So where are we going now..the moon?" I asked going for sarcasm but it fell flat..I was just too tired.
"We need to be at lekki before dawn..you can sleep first..then I'd wake you later"
I was already slanting the chair and getting comfortable. "Lekki, is that where your safe house is?"
He laughed "no be only safe house,"
"So where are we going"
"We need to strategize against the chief" he over took a tipper carrying cement,
I was silent frowning "In what way?,"
"His family stays at lekki...and right now the way to pierce chief's shield is through his family"
"OK so we just knock on the door,form Jehovah's witness and stylishly ask about
the chief abi"
He looked at me.."this your mouth would put you in trouble one day...we'd plan well in the morning but I think the only way is through his daughter Ada...she's just 19 so you'd have to shave those whiskers and be very charming"
"How will his 19 year old daughter give me any useful evidence against him...or better yet help me with Fome's whereabouts?"
Strange eyes shook his head impatiently.."Mr man..go to sleep..investigation is one step at time..you'd be surprised at the knowledge you can get from unsuspecting persons"
"You just dey form batman for here" now I was the one in a b!itchy mood "because you are an agent it doesn't mean everything is as it is on TV..in fact you must be an agent...an agent of darkness"
He brought out a cigarette from his breast pocket in reply "continue you hear..you'll be taking over the driving in two hours"
That shut me up. I sank into the comfy seat and was asleep in seconds.

Tnx bro

Jumbo's partner entered the room. "Jumbo report here immediately..," his eyes passed over my head and rested on his his partner's body which was slumped and held in place by the bars which were hooked around his neck..all this took a couple of seconds and I watched his eyes widen in shock as our eyes met.I squeezed the trigger twice..but being my first time firing a gun, I didn't put enough grip on the weapon and the recoil jerked my arm upwards..as a matter of fact the second shot struck the ceiline. The sound was deafening and the gun powder residue had an effect on me which seemed to trigger an allergic reaction. I was disoriented and in a matter of seconds I was staring at the round nuzzle of the gun which Jumbo's partner had levelled at me. He crossed over strange eyes body keeping his hand steady and unwavering..."I would love to torture you..but my orders are to kill you...no one would miss you..even your neighbours don't like you" he stopped few feet from me..,"say hello to the devil for me"
I closed my eyes and wondered how it would be like..would I see shining light, or feel the heat...my mind went blank when I heard the gunshot. It took me almost ten seconds to realize I didn't feel any pain..'that was quick' I thought to myself..but heaven wasn't supposed to be this dark?..oh my God..I didn't make it..I didn't-
"Open your eyes idiot" it was strange eyes' voice
I opened my eyes and lay on the floor relief choking me..it was a miracle it could only be a miracle..I got up feeling like a new man
", I thought you were dead"
He pointed at his chest where I saw the outline of a bullet proof vest for the first time. "I never go anywhere without this..it has saved me too many times to count"
"That was why you didn't release the gun...you BASTARD! I could have been killed"
"Operations is all about timing,it takes q second to decide life and death..you are an amateur but I admire your courage" his eyes drifted to jumbo's body still at thewindow "we need to leave here, get the papers and let's move"
"Okay" I looked down at jumbos partner whom strange eyes had shot dead..'that could have been me' I thought to myself.."what about them?" If your neighbours care about you at all they should have called the police..which means its till morning before the snails get here" he laughed wickedly and winced touching his chest.."I never get used to this pain...now hurry the fvck up we need to move..I need to think!"
I hurried to my wadrope..strange eyes was my hero..and I owed him my life..I brought out the suitcase and hurriedly put the combination..the room was messed up and was beginning to stink of death I needed to be outside..I opened the suitcase and my mouth fell open...it was empty!
"What is it?" Strange eyes asked impatiently
"The papers..they're they're gone" I stammered
"Sh!t" strange eyes punched the wall so violently I expected either the wall or his fist to crack..
'We need to leave NOW..we're not safe here at all"
I hurried after strange eyes as we quickly left the house..when we got to the balcony..he put the change over in neutral..putting the house in darkness..,"fvcking neighbours" he hissed as we ran out the house to the car..."fvck! Fvck!fvck!!" He shouted repeatedly obviously in a bad mood...I was in a daze as we got into my car..how did the documents get missing?no one knew where they were...my mind was like a maze and my thoughts kept on running into walls and confusing me more..
"Pump the clutch well" I instructed strange eyes as he put the keys in the ignition "all my neighbours know that sound..it would tie me to what happened in there"
"Fvck that..is it not your house?" He started the engine once and the car coughed loudly.."see your mouth" he said mimicking me in a girly voice as he put the car in gear "my neighbours know that sound"
"Fvck you and fvck your weird eyeballs" I wanted to scream but then I remembered few minutes ago..kneeling on the floor and waiting for death..I owed this moody animal my life..instead I looked out the window and tuned out as he continued with his angry cursing and whining.

Thanks for d mention bruv..all eyes on deck

In the eye of the beholder..nice poem
