CHAPTER THREE : TRUE STORY



“So Mr. Olamide Adewale , it says you were cleared of a respiratory problem , An asthmatic condition ?” The Military Health officer said , a bit undecided of what actions to take next as he focused his gaze on Olamide.

“Yes sir ,I was cleared three years ago after which I have never experienced an accident ….”

“but you remember you passed out from your first official training ….”
“Sir , I was tired and exhausted from….”

“well that only means you are not cut out for the army and your reports say you risk a chance of ….”

“Sir, I haven’t had any accident since the past three years , the idea that I can have an accident related to the illness is something that’s almost farfetched , sir I can promise you that sir.”

“Listen, I cant officially dismiss you of and send you parking right away I wish I could because I don’t think you will survive here for real but your health status will be closely monitored from now on , if there is however a slight case of such health risk , I am afraid its good bye to the army for you , you may take your leave now”

Olamide walked out with the medical report in his hand as he made his way back to the hostel , he hadn’t thought much of what the military officer had said but rather what had the previous day while he was receiving treatment in the military bay.

He quickly arrived at the hostel to find out no one was around , he quickly changed into his military khaki and made his way to the training ground much too excited at the moment.
He arrived at the training to find his fellow trainees in defensive stance as Sergeant Reno stood right in front of them.

“Hey you , you are late , drop and give me thirty immediately !” Sergeant Reno barked angrily at Olamide who immediately went to the ground and began his punishment, he was however surprised as to how easy he had pulled through the press ups ,perhaps a bit more excited than he had thought.

“Come to the front , you will be my punching bag for the hand to hand combat practices for the day” The sergeant said as Congo and a few other senior trainees jeered and cheered the sergeant.

“Now you are going to try and attack me with your punches don’t worry I wont fight back “ The sergeant said he had a smirk on his face that somehow gave the fact that he was lying.

Olamide took a wide stare at his fellow colleagues who were cheering ,amongst them were ejiro , K2 and kelechi , he took a deep breath and made his hands into fists approaching the experienced sergeant .

“hah, sarge wan use this small boy eat better sand today” somehow among congo’s clique said as they watched with excitement.
Olamide’s first attempt saw him going to the ground as a left hook which perfectly countered his right hook, he felt his tooth move from their various position as he landed awkwardly on the ground.

“I f you intend to survive a hand to hand combat remember the first thing is to protect yourself , guard your face or you will end up searching for your missing teeth and possibly an eye or a nose in some cases like your friend here” The sergeant said as he pointed down to Olamide who was trying to find his feet as best as he could.

“get up , we just started training don’t tell me you are tired already , are you tired?” The sergeant asked as Olamide stood up finally , he spat some bloody to the ground as he tried to organize himself ,somehow his chest seem to hurt again , he rubbed his chest gently.

“Honestly this guy e be like say them follow am come military as e dey be so he nor go survive at all” Kelechi reported to ejiro .

“Shey na you and he people plan am , oga keep your mouth quiet if you no get better thing to talk jhore” Ejiro replied angrily as he watched on , a bit sympathetic about olamide’s condition.

Again olamide went to the ground ,crunching his stomach tightly as the sergeant landed another courter strike .

“so this time our trainee has his guard up but can anyone tell me from what you were thought in class today ,what did he do wrong this time?” The sergeant said as he paced to and fro before Olamide.
“he forgot to maintain his defensive stance” someone from the crowd replied.

“very good and even more he forgot to pay attention to his opponent in battle” the sergeant said again.

Olamide managed to get up again as his chest began to hurt more severely , his body began to shake uncontrollably as tears rushed down his cheek .

The sergeant leaped in a dancing manner as he took a look closely tat olamide who was trying to clear to balance himself once more.
“Soldier man wey cry na baby man , soldier man wey weak na baby boy, soldier man wey no stand na amputee” he sang as the senior trainees cheered and jeered the sergeant much to the dissatisfaction of olamide’s pairs.

“jesus “ Congo roared with more laughter as he noticed the warm fluid running down olamide’s trousers .

“sarge , he don urinate for body oh” another said again as they roared with laughter.

“soldier man wey urinate for body na ……”

Everyone held their breath as Olamide landed a right hook to the cheeks of the sergeant as they both went to the ground ; the sergeant had lost sight of his opponent which allowed olamidie to land one successful punch at him.

The sergeant took a nefarious stare at Olamide as their eyes met shortly before he smiled dully.

“hahaha congratulations trainee “ the sergeant said as he got up quickly from the ground and helped olamide up.

“although you hit like girl but am impressed , I was paying attention to you anymore and you took your chance , very impressive whats your name ?” the sergeant asked .

“ola…olamide sir!” Olamide said as he tried to clean his face as best as he could.

“Olamide , oh wait you are the mama’s boy who brought a pot of soup and meat to the camp?” the sergeant said again as a few trainees began to laugh off the experience.

“very good, we are done for today, congo and the boys will continue from here on through the rest of the practice” the sergeant said as he dusted the sand off his body.

The sergeant took his leave as ejiro and the others trooped around olamide, he starred tat the crowd somehow he felt a bit happy of landing a punch at the sergeant than the state his currently.

The rest of the evening saw the military trainees out on the field with their sleeping bags ,the orders was to keep the trainees out on the field due to lack of space as a few military guests were to be expected , congo and some other senior trainees had joined them; they shared stories and their own personal experiences with the junior trainees as best as they could , songs were sang , arm wrestling and so on.

“No oh, that guy try oh , even we way dey talk sergeant use us do mopping that time oh ,the guy get mind” Congo said much impressed with olamide .

“but bros , see eh just look this my guy e nor just resemble military material at all ….” Ejiro’s words were clouded by an uproar from the crowd that gathered congo and his friends.

“No na truth eh, e just resemble one rich man pikin way honestly “ Ejiro said .

“Me , rich man pikin who tell you that one mr. information minister” Olamide said .

“but really guy , you just too fresh oh , military no fit you but military be like aids shall e nor dey show for face until you don enter then come out “ a friend of congo added which got some applause from the crowd.

“na truth oh but what of malike, watin you go call that one own?” Congo blasted as the junior trainees began to wonder who he was referring to.

“malike hmmm that oyibo rabbit , e own get family support na, the guy just fresh fat enter military school and he con still maintain the freshness come out , I respect the guy shall but this our guy here I no sure he go fit maintain e own sarge go train e and his fatness “ the friend continued as they listened to more stories , the night was colder than usual but they were in high spirit through the night till dawn.

CHAPTER TWO: GOOD MORNING BOYS!

“Everybody get up !”
The voice was followed by a loud bang ; perhaps the voice wasn’t as scary as been chased down by the devil in anyone’s worst nightmare but the loud bang served its purpose , a few landing awkwardly from the double deck whilst some few ended up without clothes on.

The tall fair lanky officer in military uniform stood at the door motionless, a pistol in hand and a whip that stretched down to the ground in the other , as the trainees struggled to put themselves in order.

“Now I don’t care if you have no clothes on , I want you all to get into two lines and move out , we have have half a kilometer of jogging to begin with , at any time you feel like fainting or dying , there is a lot of space so feel free to do so, now I will call out your names failure to respond is a whip to your head , is that understood?” The officer said as the trainees responded.

“ Sir!” someone said with his hands up from behind automatically garnering the eyes of the other trainees .

“what is it?” the officer asked quite frankly.

“someone is still sleeping here sir!” Kelechi announced.

“Oh really I see, well let me go and specially wake him up” the officer said as he walked to the furthermost parts of the military hostel somehow the sound of a whip striking the flesh of a trainee sent everyone shocked and frightened as did the scream that followed.

“why does the sound of everything feel like thunder here?” K2 said out of panic.

“My guy this is the military , before man pikin carry gun dey shoot upandan ,dey kill men like chickens you suppose no say man pikin don see fire for e training oh , this one na practical e be for us” Ejiro concluded as Olamide run out to join the line , with just his boxers on and a long fleshy whip line on his back.

The military officer walked back to the front to continue with his assessment , as soon as everyone’s present had been accounted for , they moved out ; both the nearly nude ones and the fully clothed ones , olamide followed just behind ejiro , his back felt like falling off within any instant , he had been so tired he had slept off even when the sergeant had told them what to expect , they joined another set of trainees which made a few of them laugh ; apparently one or two were butt naked , somehow he felt better about himself knowing he wasn’t just the only victim or faulty one at best.


Two hours straight saw the trainees battling fatigues as whips, kicks ,slaps descended constantly on any who trailed behind or showed signs of tiredness from both officers who led the trainees on the jogging exercises, one of the trainees had succumbed to the extreme stress and passed out along the way.

“leave him there , when he wakes he will join us,the rest of you move out now!” the order came with a whip on an unfortunate trainee who had decided to rest on the ground.

At the end of the three hours and a half , they came right back to their hostel panting heavily and drenched in huge amount of sweats , a few went to the ground as they gasped for air.

“We will be meeting in the next one hour at the training field where I pointed out , I expect everyone to be there and on time, failure to comply will be treated and dealt with accordingly, is that understood?” the officer said once more before he walked away.

“just look at him , not even one sweat!” kelechi said quite disturbed as he watched the officer walk away.

“dey there be looking at him , failure to be at the training ground will be dealt with accordingly , to the naked trainees abeg make una go find clothes wear , to those way no fit feel there legs like myself make una sit down where una dey , check if una never paralyze finish “ Ejiro said as he sat on the ground outside there cleaning the sweat his body had amassed during the exercise.

“which kind jogging be this na , I be think say na heaven way dey trek go?” K2 replied as he squeezed his clothe to help the sweat escape out quickly.

“dey there , nna morning routine be this so , start to dey practice for your dreams , na like this e go be for us till thy kingdom come thank God say u no join Johnny way faint for bush so” Ejiro added again as he starred at olamide who sat at a corner close by.

“guy, sorry oh hope say the whip of this morning no damage your spinal cord oh “ Ejiro asked somehow he felt pity for him .

“ I was really tired from yesterday that was why I didnt get up on time , it wont happen again” Olamide said dully as he wiped his face.

“Eh na so e be , no worry eh all of us go just dey anything way dey happen ,na all of us you still dey with eh , all of us na brothers here we go be so no dulling again you here?” Ejiro said again with a smile on his face as he stood up and gave a lifting hand up to olamide.

“thank you very much” Olamide said as he stood to his feet .

“person never take the down space for myself , you fit arrange am so that you go just dey with us for front here where we just dey” Ejiro added again as they both walked in.

An hour later they arrived at the training field , where another officer stood with the lanky officer they had now suspected to be their training officer.

“let me formally introduce myself properly , I am corporal Muhammad Idriss and I will be your supervising officer and joint training officer , I will like to formally welcome you all with me here is my direct senior ,Sergeant Reno” the lanky officer said .

The trainees sat on the ground as they took their seats in the bamboo constructed benches as they took them through the various ranks and army personals and means by which they could be identified.

“you over their , what is the immediate ranking officer after the Master Warrant Officer?” Sergeant Reno said pointing to Ejiro who was caught off guard by the question, his reluctance to answer the question proved he hadn’t be paying attention.

“ejiro na commando?” k2 tugged him as he got up to answer the answer.

“no that’s wrong , the answer is second lieutenant” Olamide said as quietly as he could , somehow he hoped ejiro wouldn’t be made a scape goat .

“I asked you a question !” the sergeant fired again.

“sir, the answer is eh Second Lieutenant sir!” Ejiro said a bit scarred but he had soon relaxed himself as soon as the sergeant nodded his head.

“k2 na your papa be commando” Ejiro cursed as he sat back with a smile on his face , they were still taking their classes when another set of trainees came with their officers.

“this are your immediate seniors though they are trainees as well but , they will be advancing to the last quarter of their training , some of them you will see every now and then along with a few officers to help you train better I expect the outer most respect and obedience to them as they are your seniors and are here to help and monitor your growth here , is that understood?” Corporal Idriss said as ejiro and the others nodded again.

“okay I will be handling over to Sergeant Reno for the physical aspects of your training and evaluation, your seniors will be here to assist him ” Corporal Idriss said as he and the other two officers took their leave.
“Congo are they ready ?” the sergeant asked one of the senior trainees who answered positively.

“very good ,every one get up and follow me” the sergeant said as he and the senior trainees marched out , the trainees followed quite confused as they wondered what was waiting for them, they soon walked a few miles again to another part of the training ground where huge bags of old cements which had now become solid as stone laid ,stacked up to ten bags.

“ now I am going to score you all base on how many bags you can carry over to that point where the white line is drawn” the sergeant said as he pointed to a spot right in front of the stacked bags , endurance is key to your survival outside there , your ability to take this bags across that line as fast as you can and as much as you can is what I am interested , if you cant continue you raise your hands up and the next person will follow but bear it in mind failure to at least get three bags over the line is a failure “ the sergeant said again.

“oya , make una form line fast fast, first to go make he ready “ Congo said as the trainees form a single line.

“All the bricklayers make una arrange for front , cement don come “ kelechi announced as he took his space behind olamide who was still wondering how he was going to get even one of the solid bags of cement across the line.

A few of the senior trainees watched in anticipation of laughter .
“if somebody go shit e spirit here “ someone said amongst the seniors as the first trainee approached the bags of solid cement .

It became a real eye sore immediately as the trainee failure to grasp the bag ended badly for him , as his feet paid the amount price which the bag had landed notwithstanding the trainee had showed his desire to move on ,securing two bags past the lines before he could not contain the pain any longer.

“if you are coming here , make sure your grip is firm as a rock itself “ the sergeant said not impressed one bit as the trainee leaped back , Ejiro came forward quickly taking off his khaki , somehow he had gotten the first bag wrapped around his hands with his chest also giving support , he moved the first , then the second and his third and had proceeded to go for a forth much to his fellow trainee’s cheer and praise , his method was quite efficient again as he secured his forth bag over the line before he bowed out ; apparently he had ran out of energy and was already exhausted to try it for a fifth time.

A few others used ejiro’trick , some failing to get even one or sometimes the three bags over the line , as the senior colleagues laughed and jeered at them.

“Next!” the sergeant shouted as Olamide walked to the heap of the cement s, he took his shirt off and attempted his first which was unsuccessful ,
he made his second attempt mustering all his strength he could gather ,once he could wrap his hands around his first he began to walk as slowly as he could towards the line , he was sweating profusely which was making his grip more difficult to sustain thankfully he had gotten his bag over the line and then he made for his second , using whatever that was left of him he got hold of the bag but unfortunately this came with the loss of his balance as he tried to positon the bag on his chest , his lack of strength saw him landing on the ground with the bag landing on his chest .

Olamide’s pleas for assistance as the solid bag of cement landed on his chest was quickly responded to by Ejiro and k2 who came to his help , once he was up he had the decisions to make , raise his hand and fail his first test or continue even with the pains he was now feeling in his chest cavity.

He made his way for the second bag again , took a deep breath and got hold of it , his chest seemed to be lit on fire with pains but for that moment he ignored , his second attempt came as a success as he breathed dangerously while he slowly and painfully made way for his third , again he had the third but this time he managed to set the solid bag of cement on his shoulder and once more made the walk over to the line , he was finding it harder with each step to breath properly somehow his chest seemed to be taking on the weight of the cement ,he could hear a few cheer for him as soon as he got his first feet across the line just as he went to the ground unconscious; he had passed out.

CHAPTER ONE: WELCOME TO THE MILITARY

The Bus tilted to a halt around the junction , as soon to be military trainees began to wonder what was happening.

“Come on , we get any mechanic inside here, make the person come join me for outside here fast fast” The driver in military camouflage starred at everyone as soon as he got out of his seat.

Three hands went up quickly , signifying their interest as the driver picked two of the three and quickly disembarked from the bus.

“Na wetin person no go see” Dayo said as he rebalanced himself again once he had dropped his hands down, somehow everyone could communicate what he meant by those words.

“hahaha guy no worry jhare, we go still hit kano sharp sharp , shey dem den come down na , dem go set the bus in order before you can say MILITARY” Abdul remarked who was just a seat from dayo’s own.

“Oya , make we just dey introduce ourself for here , we all na brothers we don be by military force ,my own name na Ejiro Martins alias Viper” Ejiro said , the tall slightly built in frame had theis wide smile on his face as he introduced himself to the other forty three applicants.

“You my guy , your mama forget to name you name?” Ejiro said as he tapped Olamide who was caught off guard from his sleep at the moment.
“Eh, sorry I didn’t get that?” Olamide asked as he starred confusingly , having woken up.

“Sorry I didn’t get that , abeg na which of that be your surname ?” K2 who had introduced himself as Kelvin Obi asked sending a few who caught the joke rolling with laughter.

“Make all of una come down fast , we go push the bus small make we take start am!” One of the two who had joined the driver came on board to report the situation.
“What, do we have to push the bus?” Olamide asked Ejiro who ad already gotten up in high spirit as much as the others.

“No my guy , we need to romance am to bed, my guy come and serve your country jhore” Ejiro said again as he laughed his way down the bus with others , Olamide sat their for a second or two before joining the others outside , he wondered why everyone was so eager to participate but then again they were all boys , young men who perhaps wanted to show a little of what they could do, Olamide rolled up his sleeves and his military trousers too.

“Oga , no be war you want go find oh so take am easy , this one you dey raise everything go up , you sure say you no wan put the bus for shoulders?”
Again another remake from K2 sent a few laughing who stood by ,ready to begin the push as soon as they were commanded.

“Oya make una push!” came the order as they began the push , they yelled and jeered at each other who they felt wasn’t doing his best ,one of the few trainees at the end of this jokes and remarks was Olamide who was sweating more abnormally than the others.

“oh boy , this guy don turn swimming pool now now oh , who get bucket here?” Kelechi asked another slim loud mouthed trainee that was also good with making jokes.

They cheered as soon as the bus kicked in , each celebrating the other in the best way they could before alighting into the bus again , to continue their journey.

Three hours clocked quickly as the bus was in a lighter mood , those who sang were joined by others and those who told their stories ,personal experiences and obvious reasons for joining the army thrilled the others before the driver once more announced their arrival at the army training camp, the location was deep in the heart of the state of kano with little or nothing surrounding it , a long stretch of bad roads and bushes surrounded the army training camp , though a bit late , the trainees seemed excited as they disembarked with their bags down where a soldier who introduced himself as Sergeant Nwosu told them to wait for further instructions outside the military camp.

It took less than five minutes before three other military personals joined the sergeant after which the sergeant gave a command to the trainees to stand in lines of five.

“Good evening soldiers in training , my name is Captain Timothy Obikwe by my side here with me is sergeant Boris and by my left is Sergeant Azeez and he over there is Sergeant Nwosu now before I continue …..” he paused for a bit as he paced to and fro the space before him as the sergeants and the trainees watched.

“..before I continue , I want you all to turn your backs and look at the transport by which you came here …” he paused as the trainees did as he said.

“this bus will be conveying a lot of you who will make the transition from a trainee to a solider at the end of the first three weeks of your training so if you know that you have a wife at home , a family that probably swore to disown you when you decided to form hard man and come here , this is your opportunity to return back with your bags , all expense paid trip to the very bus stop where you were picked” The captain made no jokes about this , his face communicated more of his words than his voice as the trainees began to murmur a bit.

“alright , I can see we made our decisions before coming down here , that’s good , that’s very good “ he nodded his head for a moment before he continued.

“I would like to welcome you all to the Domengi Boot Camp for military trainees , where boys are made into men and men are made into soldiers , you will be seeing this face of mine only at the end of the first three weeks of your training to congratulate those who have succeeded and passed and to congratulate those too who have wasted our time and resources in trying to make soldiers out of babies, now I will hand over to the sergeant Nwosu and Sergeant Azeez to continue form here” He said finally before he and sergeant boris walked away.

“we were duly informed of the little trouble you had while on your way but never mind that because there are still four more buses who are yet to arrive this camp so , now lets get down to business , if you have any contraband of any sort , drugs , weapons including the juju some of your parents or family members may have prepared for you on your way , I hope you an see that spot over there ..” he paused for a moment as he pointed his hand over to a spot where a few articles laid.

“take your bags down and empty them over there , we will conduct a search as required and God help you if I see any of the mentioned “ The Sergeant replied.

Both men had begun to search through the bags of each trainee, clearing them equally.

“Sarge, come and see oh…..” Sergeant Azeez said as he burst into laughter ; everyone immediately turned to his direction.

“..sarge, this one brought soup and dried meat form his village to the boot camp” the sergeant continued as he produced a transparent bowl tightly sealed and a nylon which contained a chunk of dried meat.
“what is your name trainee?” Sergeant Nwosu asked as he walked up to where the two stood.

“sir,my name is Olamide Adewale Junior” Olamide said a bit shaky and confused.

“Sarge, the boy brought correct grass cutter oh” Sergeant Azeez said again as he confirmed the content of the nylon .
“why do you have a plate of soup and dried meat in your bag, do you plan to poison….”

“..hah sir, no not at…..”
The sound of the knock took everyone by surprise prompting someone from the lines to yell something in his dialect as olamide felt his head was about to open or fall off.

“you do not interrupt a direct or indirect senior ,that’s strictly against principles and rules in the army, is that understood?” Sergeant Nwosu said angrily .

“Sir?” Olamide said as his head vibrated and expanded , he winced his eyes as a tear or two escaped ,even more was the numb feeling his head had developed almost immediately as well as the fact his ears seems to have been affected by the powerful knock his head had received.

“go to the ground and give me thirty !” Sergeant Nwosu said angrily again as he turned to leave, olamide went to the ground not because he was capable of even achieving a decent fifteen counts of press ups on a good day but rather for fear of inviting another powerful knock on his head which he feared may affect his brain.

He went to the ground quickly as tears flowed down his face , a bit disturbed by the reality that waited him once they got inside rather than the unfortunate choices he had made that led him straight to the military, he hoped his adrenaline for a moment would help him get over the pain and the fatigue and help him achieve the thirty count even more was the fact that other boys probably round his age were also watching , he had already received an unjust knock h, he feared the ridicule a bit more.

All of them had been cleared before the sergeant turned his attention once more to Olamide who seemed to be taking his time to serve out his punishment.

“what number are you on now?” the sergeant asked.

“sir,I thought you were….” Olamide halted his words , the pain still reeling to and fro his head was scary enough , he feared his inability to tell the correct number or lie about the fact he hadn’t been counting was more daunting now.

“…sir, I though you were counting…..” Olamide said slowly and painfully as a few trainees laughed their eyes out.

“hahaha so you thought I was counting …” the sergeant shook his head for a minute .

“..i don’t think you are going to last in here son, anyways the following weeks can either make you or break you or kill you its really not my business , now you are going to start all over a again from the count of 1….” The sergeant paused as another bus halted right in front of them.

“ …hmmm well you are lucky today, I am in no mood for such display of foolishness , sergeant Azeez will lead you all in, to get your forms signed officially, its getting late already so try and get as much sleep as you can , trainees without fail are to be up by exactly 4:30 on the dot , you wake 4:31 or 4:30 and a half you will dealt with by your training officer , is that understood?”

The sergeant said again as the trainees responded positively much too thrilled and excited to begin their journey as military trainees.

“Sergeant Azeez, take the soup and the bush meat to the senior quarters for the boys , am sure they will be happy to eat something other than madam nuri’s usual as for the bush meat you know where that one goes to, anyways welcome to the military boys!. The sergeant said finally in high spirit as he walked past them straight to the new comers.

“everyone in a single file behind me now!” Sergeant azeez sent the trainees scrambling to their feet as they quickly formed a single long line and began their long trek into the boot camp.

CHAPTER 8 CHOICES

SCENE : LAGOS, IVY'S RENTED APARTMENT


Ivy dragged herself inside her apartment and immediately she could sense something was wrong, she brought her gun outside and aimed for a dark figure far off the corner of the sitting room.


IVY: how are you and what are you doing here. ( She cocked her weapon again as the figure revealed itself fully to her) Caleb? ( her eyes brightens for a moment as she throws the gun away and limps towards him, Caleb is faster and holds on to her embracing her tightly for a moment, they stay just like that for sometime before releasing their hands off each other) You're alright ( she kisses him deeply ) you like you just escaped a prison (chuckles)

CALEB : ( stares at her and notices her bullet bruised stomach) and you look like someone faked hitting you in a bad spot. ( chuckles before kissing her deeply again ) you look like hell , it must have been having to move all that cash and having to...

IVY: shhh, I took care of it all.

CALEB: I can see that, you cutting your hair and the obvious changes I can see yeah you took care of it and you also took care of someone .

IVY: Vena is alive (wipes a tear of her face)

CALEB : ( stares at her affectionately ) Between you and sister I think you are the one who needs to worry less about the other (kisses her again this time more deeply)

they both long for each others hold, kissing ,grabbing and smooching as they find their way to the parlor sofa, clothed give way easily as Caleb descends low in between her thighs and soon feels the moist sloppy walls of her body below, she moaned deeply as Caleb worked his tongue around her walls giving her much pleasure releasing her juice all over his mouth which he hungrily took.

She went crazy by the minute so that when he placed his whole energetic firm muscular body over her thighs, she was already his and he, hers.

he thrust deeply and cautiously , that painful pleasure of body satisfaction walked it's way in and out, slowly taking up speeds , their eyes locked and mouth Consistently locked with the other, she held him on to him tighter with her slippery walls gladly opening up each time he thrust deeper.

body sweats all mixed up whilst the lovers held on to each other , she winced in pleasure of uttermost satisfaction and uncontrollable ecstasy , reaching orgasm twice while Caleb walked on her , she starred at him, right at that moment she saw everything that made her turn her back against her call to serve and protect her country, he was all her ambition and desires just as she was to him.

IVY: I love you.

CHAPTER SEVEN COMPETITION




SCENE: 41 ISOKI RD, ABANDONED WAREHOUSE OFF PORT, LAGOS


Elijah bent over to survey the body on the ground though he had confirmed it was Bashi and removed his cell phones , he sat there with dull grin on his face before proceeding to pick up his own phone.

ON CALL


ELIJAH: the rat is dead, rifle bullet to the head and 9mm bullet to the kneel, the rifle bullet I can confirm was from Blacky but the 9mm I can't confirm who that was from.

RE:Take care of the body and his family, wipe every trace of his identity off the grid.

ELIJAH : so what do I do now, should I still go after Blacky...

RE: She knows how we think my guess is she must have fled the country let her be for now we have someone on her tail soon enough we have other pressing matters at hand.

ELIJAH : (chuckles) please tell me someone killed the twins.

RE: how did you... never mind someone did kill the twins and a stash of cash gone missing too, we think it's the mystery man, he must have figured out we were on his hacker.

ELIJAH : (chuckles) glad those psychopaths are gone so what do you want me to do.

RE: we have assigned a fresh cut mercenary to you, he is good with the guns and a better actor than your...

ELIJAH : (cuts in) don't mention her name.

RE: okay will send the details to you for a meet up, the target remains THE HACKER FOR NOW.

CALL ENDS.

Elijah brings out a sharp dagger and bends over Bashi's corpse.

ELIJAH : sorry buddy i have to make this look like a ritual ( proceeds to stab and dismember the body into pieces)


SCENE : LAGOS OKOKOH POLICE STATION

the Duo crime investigators are going through files when Samson rings detective John.


ON CALL.


DET. JOHN: hello detective, what do you have for us?

Samson : Sir I think I am on to something here .

DET. JOHN: really ( stares at detective sunny who seems not interested at the discussion) okay go on.

Samson : well sir, I managed to get hold of cash transaction records of the said relative and there seems to be some irregular transactions going on...

DET. JOHN: wait how did you convince the bank to release such details ?

Samson: (chuckles) well sir I am an detective and so I have my ways of getting information from my sources.

DET. JOHN: really, well go on.

Samson : well sir there have been consistent transfer right from when she departed from Lagos to calabar, the amount is 300k every week just under the radar not to raise any suspicion or enough to launch an investigation by the bank, there're other transactions but a consistent transfer weekly of 300k Is very odd and I also noticed she has kids abroad...

DET. JOHN : okay go on

Samson: she has no record of sending them money for up keep and I was able to take a look into their social media activities on facebook and we'll this kids seem to be on a cash spree, they live in fancy houses and the eldest has a car of his own ,my guess is whoever is sending this money is also taking care of the children's bill.

DET. JOHN: (smiles) interesting, hmm very impressive work detective..

samson : well there is a problem the bank can't fully trace the sender because unfortunately the money is been wired from all over the country apparently.

DET. JOHN : what do you mean by that?

Samson : well while the amount is consistent, the source is not traceable , the money is been moved from what the banks call a masked account with no single location and from various parts of the country, I think whoever is doing this is a hacker a good one.

DET. JOHN : the person is good at covering his steps hmm I see, good work detective ,this is a huge find we will begin reevaluating the woman and see what we find, keep the good work on.

samson : thank you sir.

CALL ENDS.

SCENE : CALABAR. SATISFACTION SUITES




The Nigeria born Ghanaian computer Alabi Castro made his way to the hotel with just a small bag packed with full of his gizmos and gadgets, he walked quickly to the male receptionist he quickly identified as max.

MAX: (smiling ) how can I help you sir today?

ALABI CASTRO : I need a room for the night well maybe for the week we never might know.

MAX: The week would be better, more money for us (smiles)

ALABI CASTRO : (brings his phone out as if to check something) uhm room 211 please

MAX: room 211, uhm let's see if it's available( checks his computer ) oh yes it is sir, executive floor it's one of our best and finest sir.

ALABI CASTRO : (smiles) oh yes I like quality (his phone rings ,decides to ignore it) uhm I will take it thanks. (he collects the key card)

MAX: oh please do take the elevator , your room is at the top floor of our suites ( smiles as castro walks off to the elevator)


Castro made his way to the elevator and had pushed the buttons before two guys entered the elevator, they seemed casual and somewhat similar in appearance not just because they wore the same clothes and all but they seemed really identical.

ALABI CASTRO : (deciding to pick his call)


ALABI CASTRO : hello Boss, welcome back (chuckles)


RE: where are you?

ALABI CASTRO : oh am in calabar ,I got a lead from the cracked disc..


RE: get out of there now!

ALABI CASTRO : Relax ...

RE: no you shut up and listen, they tracked you okay, your girlfriend or whoever you were is dead , my guess is they know where you are heading to, get out of there now , your position has been compromised.

Castro panicked for a second as the caller ended only for him to realize the two other occupants starring at him in a sinister manner, he reached for his phone again but one do them had overpowered him with the other sticking a syringe in his neck after which they left him, he managed to get the syringe out of his neck amidst his sudden blurry vision and inability to Control his limbs, Castro came to the ground quickly loosing his consciousness.
He regained consciousness again in a room filled with brief cases and Ghana must go bags piled up in various places, his guess was Room 221.


LUCK: ( walks off to where he is tied, hands and feet strapped tightly to a chair) look who just woke up.

LUCKY : Brother , we don't have much time to spend, do your thing I still don't think this job is worth missing our trip.

LUCK: relax , look at this whole room filled with millions and yet the association isn't bothered about all that rather they are concerned about this guy (points to Castro) he is worth it besides it would be fun torturing him.

CASTRO : (screams at the top of his voice) help me, somebody help me!!

LUCK : (laughs) shout all you want, the rooms are sound proof it means not even Jesus can hear you now.

LUCKY: (brings out a bag out for luck who collects it and walks of to Castro) they say you're a great hacker, one of the best trust me the association wouldn't care about the likes of you if you don't have or aren't doing anything worth keeping eyes on (brings out a plier from the bag) so which of your fingers should I start with before you start to tell me who you are working for?

CASTRO : what ( stares at the pliers with horror on his face) please please don't hurt me I am just a geek here trying to survive,i don't really know him but ( he pauses for a minute and stares at luck who is trying to access his laptop and phones with a password cracker gizmo) that won't work , if you do that it will completely wipe my system and all the information you will need will be gone, I have system programmed against such actions.

LUCKY : ( Stares at his brother and then laughs ) well you are the great hacker they talk about now can you help us with the password or do I have to start the torture with your left finger .

CASTRO : definitely ,QW12TGHXBJIOPYTF876C1123D that's my password


the brothers both stare at him a bit confused and then decides to bring the system for him to open .

LUCKY stares at him with a grin) if you as much try any of those gizmo sh*t with me I will stick my hand down your throat and rip out your lungs and then feed it to you through your anus don't test me the last person who did that had his balls cooked and then watch his wife and kid eat his balls so yes I am very sick up in my head so don't test me.

castro stares at the both of them in horror and irritation.

LUCK : (laughs) he is the crazy one and I am the vicious one, best pay to kill psychopaths in the market, we will kill our family for th3 right money, women, babies, whenever whatever we kill it and do it like they do on TV.

castro takes control of his system with hands apparently shaking after hearing so much of what his likely fate is.

LUCKY : look at him scared to death , how am I going to enjoy killing him like this?

the trio get a knock at the door, a sudden silence is followed by a stare between the two before lucky brings a dagger out and heads to the door.

LUCKY : who is it?

RE: (female voice) room service sir.

LUCKY : thanks we didn't order for any.

RE : I have an executive bouquet here with your room number on it sir.

LUCKY : thanks but we are good, he turns his back only to see a dark masked fully geared figure with a pistol aiming at him just outside the window, his reaction is poor as the bullet goes for his head his brother tries to shoot at the individual but leaves his rear open as the door opens with a girl pointing her pistol at him, she offloads her bullet as she walks straight to him where he sat, eachbullet is a hit as Castro screams hysterically.

She walks off to the dead body pulls out the empty clip enters a new one amd offloads it again scattering the head of LUCK across the room, brain matter spilled and splattered before she stares at the gun man hanging from ropes just outside the window, she gives a thumbs up to him who pulls himself up and out of the scene.


CASTRO : did the boss send you? (whimpers)

VENA : who are you talking about? (punches him so hard in the face that he passes out and then proceeds to make a phone call)


ON CALL :

VENA : we have a small problem.

SCENE OGOJA, CALABAR


Samson boarded a taxi to ogoja from the airport and arrived at the resident of Ivy's aupooses relatives who take care of her brother, the beautiful duplex was quite a scene as Samson took a few pictures quickly before proceeding to the gate, he soon gained entrance upon revealing his purpose and profession to the gate who after further instruction from within the house led him in.
Samson was left left extremely impressed by the interiors of the building so to say as he took his seat before a woman walked in with a boy about the age of eleven as Samson could deduce.

(takes her key from the stool) please I am leaving for the bank when you have interrogated the poor boy who has done nothing but try to have a normal life then let the maid know she will escort you out of my house (walks away)

Samson at this point felt like he was on a witch-hunt , the level of intensity he got from the woman wasn't what he was expecting from by there was alot of other things at play first, she wasn't just trying to defend herself or the boy something else was at work, he got up and took another stare at the parlor before walking out though the woman had already left he decided to turn his attention to the gate man.

SAMSON : hello sir, can we talk? ( walks off to the gate man who has taken his seat right in front of his gate house)

GATEMAN : Ehm well sir it depends ( stares at him awkwardly and then at his pockets) if you can get me something for drink maybe I can help.

CHAPTER SIX : CALABAR



Caleb Accelerated faster he brought out plane ticket and took a second look at the suit bag at the back seat before settling down again on the road.


NARRATOR : what sells faster than drug or chemical weapons, what would make men turn into monsters and monsters into men, what is the biggest market out there, one word INFORMATION.
the second World War started as a result of information ,they say knowledge is power but this statement barely scratches the top of what people know about knowledge, Imagine an association with no office no branches no Id , a global ghost cooperative call it a bank that buys and sells information of the high powered individuals in the world say I am a political figure in need of money I go to the cooperative and I give them hard proof of my secrets say I am a murderer , my information is kept within a time period which I am supposed to pay that money back failure to do so, my information is auctioned to the highest bidder , the cooperative get their money back plus interest and you get to be at the mercy of whoever gets his hands on such information, nation leaders do it, organizations do it, billionaires do it, sometimes not just for money gains there are alot more things the cooperative exchange money or information for but it's well so protected that no one can actually pin point howits run hence a ghost cooperation, secretive to its functions and strict to its rules only few people get access to the network , to get access to the network you need a key , this key is a digital key that is broken into pieces of computer codes within a micro chip we call Discs ,this discs are bought by to top officials,celebrities and so on as a sort of invite card, to get the key you Have to find other discs presumably look for others who have it and buy it to access the association, complicated right? yes thats why you never see them, a digital cabal that runs on information but what if you sold the secret of your nation ,what if the association has information worth starting a third World War?
Now you want to know who I am well that's a story for another day.

SCENE : 41 ISOKI RD, ABANDONED WAREHOUSE OFF PORT, LAGOS




Bashi Aliu stood right in the middle of the abandoned littered old rusty warehouse, with lot of garbage and heavy duty industrial machineries ;apparently not working when he had the voice urging him to stop where he stood.


BASHI ALIU : ( looks around a bit disgruntled) I am unarmed you can come out now.



IVY: (WELL HIDDEN REPLIES) if you make one funny move just a heartbeat of it you are going to find your son among the unlucky kids whose parents were too busy been selfish , no one else has to die .

BASHI ALIU : (grins) by that you mean me?


IVY: yes you, you're a selfish sadistic and psychopathic death dealer , an assassin for hire, where you expecting your children to sit by your death bed while you tell them how you murdered countless of innocent people...

BASHI ALIU : honey, there are no innocent people as much as guilty people, I do whatever I have to do to survive and unlike you I enjoy surviving now why don't you come out and face me don't tell me you are going to kill an unarmed man from your hiding place that's cruel to me, I would prefer a bullet to the head right in front of my killer.

IVY : (comes out from one of the heavy machinery open spaces just in front of bashi aliu ) here I am you bastard.


BASHI ALIU : (nods his head almost impressed ) no wonder I missed my target, you too look alike.....


Ivy wasted no time shooting him in the leg almost immediately she heard him talk about her sister letting Aliu go to the ground kneeling; both hands clutching to the shot leg.

IVY: say another word about my sister and my family and I would shot your other leg.


BASHI ALIU : ( struggles to stand up ) look at this ( stares at his bleeding leg) you as a kid I hated the sight of blood, cold gritty and gore always came to my mind but then I watch my mom server the head of my father on his bed while we all slept and you can say I liked it, I never felt more happy than hearing my abusive father struggle to hold on to his pitiful life (chuckles)


IVY : (a bit disturbed and sick at Bashi's revelation) you are a sick and I will be doing alot of people some good putting you down.

BASHI ALIU : (chuckles) hah a patriotic killer I see (chuckles) you're right about one thing though ex detective ivy one of us is dying infact you saved me the trouble of going after you...

IVY : (confused) what are you talking about...

BASHI ALIU : the association still wants you taken care of after all this time infact I was given that contract some Hours ago ( he pauses for a minute as he begins to survey the building for a moment ) in fact I came not just because I wanted to save my boy but also finish my job ( screams at the top of his voice) BLACKY NOW!

Ivy was caught unawares as the sound of rifle bullet scattered the air, a single shot from long range expertly shot got her by the rib cage prompting her to go to the ground loosing her weapon as she fell hard.

Blacky appears from nowhere exactly with a sniper rifle in hand and gives a stare at both Bashi and Ivy, Ivy is wrangling in pains; she is definitely not going anywhere soon .

BLACKY : (stares at Bashi) someone actually shot the rat (chuckles) you know you could have had me take her down anytime soon .

BASHI ALIU : (chuckles) I know I just wanted her to enjoy the moment ...


ivy struggles to a corner with her bleeding rib cage defenseless ,her weapon is far away from her reach at the moment, she begins to laugh bringing the attention of the two to her.

IVY: you're going to kill me just like you killed my sister right?

BASHI ALIU : (turns to her) oh no really honestly I think you deserve the truth right here, your sister faked her death I don't know why but your family seems to be...


IVY : that is a lie you shot and killed my family the doctor confirmed...


BASHI ALIU : the doctor confirmed what he was paid to confirm ,I checked the casket, there's no body in her, I am thorough when it comes to my job ( his phone rings but he decides to ignore it )

ivy gives a grin and then smiles .


IVY: i know how thorough you are and how ruthless you can be, they call you the rat because you are like a vermin people try to avoid perhaps you should have thought about that before putting one of your own in danger and trying to get her killed.

bashi aliu realizes something isn't just right at the moment he gives this strange look at ivy and looses focus on Blacky' s rifle pointed to his head from behind, he is quick though to turn and see that wicked smile of revenge on Blacky's face as she pulls the trigger , rifle bullet rattles the air as Bashi Aliu goes face first to the ground, dead.


Blacky walks up to ivy who seems to be alot better than she had appeared to be.

IVY: (stands up and stares at her side where the bullet grease) my sister is alive after all ( she gives a dull smile as Blacky stares at Bashi Aliu's lifeless body) thank you for coming to my aid.

BLACKY : he got my get away car rigged to loose brake, the same person who exposed me and my target out just because of his selfishness and greed, I was crippled for months I think he got what he deserves and to even think he calls me without that remorse of what he did to me I think he got what he deserved right but what about the child?

IVY: he was never in danger , you need to go the association will find out and put a kill order on your head, I have everything ready in a car outside for you ( Blacky turns to leave) wait are you really sure I can trust his words?

BLACKY : he is a son of b**ch but I see no reason for him to lie, your sister is alive ivy , if he knows so does the association, go find your sister before they do.

SCENE: ELO EATERY, LEKKI





Detective john and Sunny are having lunch at one of the popular eatery;a perfect opportunity for them to reminisce about their on going case.


DETECTIVE SUNNY: ( swallows a handful of starch) So let's get this straight, we can't ask what she was investigating about when the commission sent her undercover, right?

DETECTIVE JOHN: (nods his head) yes, this is the controversy you don't seem to like about the case but there is always the rumors she may have been assigned to penetrate the ....

DETECTIVE SUNNY: (cuts in) don't say that, that's stupid there is nothing like the association that's what the media or crazy people want you to believe like the invisible cabal who are behind the power of the President or like the money grabbing lords which the producers on. a greedy TV show refuses to show just so they can make more money off it.

DETECTIVE JOHN: (chuckles) a digital society tasked with effectively hiding and stashing the money and information of high crime lords and corrupt political officers of the highest level, a society so well protected in its work that it's invisible to the world at best , with networks spread across the world globally with members, agents and stakeholders in government offices and all that who don't even know their own members I think it's plausible.

DETECTIVE SUNNY: and I think it's what crazy people talk about when they sit in front of the road side to get attention of jobless by standers, there has never been any proof of this society .....


DETECTIVE JOHN : well that's where the micro chips come in....


DETECTIVE SUNNY : oh yes I remember, the infamous digital warehouse that houses information about the society activities , yes why don't we leave for the station soon so we can plug one of the many discs as they are called into one of the systems and then find out what turned a dedicated officer into a rogue operative wait I remember no one has ever seen this disc you speak off, is that not correct officer John Williams Opeteyi?

DETECTIVE JOHN : Well we just have to be positive
.. ( they both stare at the news running about the explosion downtown) look at that people had to die because some one forget to do maintenance .


DETECTIVE SUNNY : that reminds me what did you do with the rookie?

DETECTIVE JOHN : oh he seem to be on something really....

DETECTIVE SUNNY I don't really care about what he is unto as long as he is not in my way plus I am just waiting for him to understand how cursed this investigation is and decides to call it quit (chuckles) he is just going to hand in his papers soon.

DETECTIVE JOHN: (smiles) he is ambitious just like you and smart too I like the kid you should give him a chance to prove himself.

DETECTIVE SUNNY : if he is as half ambitious as me you should be very scared of what he can do.

CHAPTER FIVE THE ASSOCIATION



SCENE LAGOS.




The trio skiddled of the main road right into a bushy path before coming to a halt where three other empty vehicles where.



DAYO: (jumps out of the car laughing hysterically before pulling his fake moustache off his chin ) you know I kept thinking he was going to open the files and find out it was all jargons written inside.


CALEB: ( gets out of the car bare chested with a new long sleeve at hand, he stares at Elvis the Don for a few minutes before putting on the sleeves) the phone did it ring while I was awhile?

MATTHEW : (still in the drivers seat on his doctors costume) No the phone didn't ring one single time, I was there..... ( stares at Elvis who is struggling to seat up right)....


CALEB : (Walks to the back seat car windows to check up on Elvis) you slept well (stares at Elvis who is still feeling the pain of the punch he had gotten from Caleb)


NARRATOR well I really didn't have to punch him that hard but no one threatens me plus a drug dealer and a gun armourer sentenced to death am sure he wouldn't mind me hitting him that hard.


ELVIS THE DON : (opens the car door ,stares at the environment in disbelief ) haha you son of a b**ch, you actually pulled it out...


CALEB : (collects a bag from Matthew and hands it over to Elvis the Don) in there, go-to Spain , there is an off shore account with enough money to last you for years, keep low and..

ELVIS THE DON: don't tell me all that, I am the guy who tells people all that, am not a child I know I am a wanted man and I know how best to survive.

CALEB : good now where is my disc?

ELVIS THE DON : oh yes, you kept your words and it's only proper I keep mine uhm opens his small pulse around his waist and brings out a key) here I have it stashed in one of my..... (stares at Caleb who has this sinister look on his face) what?


CALEB: you must really think I am the most stupid person you have ever seen ( produces the disc our from his pocket much to the shock of Elvis) you know what they say about drug dealers and stash houses, they take it wherever they go, I knew it was always in that little bag of yours you carry around, I could have taken it all along and leave you there but I keep my words and I am going to need you for something else some day (throws a car key to Elvis) there are clothes and some snacks inside, enjoy your freedom while you still can.


Caleb takes the other car and drives away as well as Matthew and dayo who also take another out of the two remaining and drove the opposite direction leaving Elvis the Don to stare in confusion.

ELVIS THE DON : (chuckles) and I didn't even know his name (shakes his head).

SCENE : IKOKOH PRISON, CHIEF WARDENS OFFICE




the Chief warden saluted expertly as the director of prison affairs sat finally, it is not everyday they get such high distinguished personnel and for someone like him who is a bit ambitious and hopes to succeed in ranks this was his one perfect moment to make things happen.


CHIEF WARDEN : you are welcome sir, it's so good to see you come see us here at the OKOKOH prisons.

D. O. P : (stern voice) I am not here on a jolly trip, I have reasons to believe that the standards of this prison has been compromised based on greed and corruption ( drops a bunch of files on the table)

CHIEF WARDEN: (confused seeing the number of files on his desk) hah no sir, that can't be.....


D. O. P : is that a question , are you aware that a single petition from me is enough to get this place permanently closed down and the lines of you jobless and even more if I so deem it worthy charged for misappropriation of funds and misuse of power ?

CHIEF WARDEN : (hysterically) sir, no sir hah sir I am not question please let me see the... (tries to take a file)

D. O. P : do you really want to read through the documents and see how much evidence that has been collected ever since a secret investigations were launched following your inception into power, do you really want to check the records or do you intend to destroy the evidence, are you trying to put pressure on my ability to call for disciplinarian actions against you and the various departments found wanting?

CHIEF WARDEN : sir hah I am confused, please let's talk I swear this prison has been....

(WARDEN 1 rushes in with panic written all over his face)

what is it, you useless creature, cant you see I am in the midst of...


WARDEN 1: Oga there is trouble oh, people are dying of poison in the black gate sir, two are unconscious at the moment and our person within the cell is dead too (stares at the D. O. P) good morning sir (salutes)

D. O. P : (stands up) officer take me to the prisons, I must see this for myself as further proof of these( turns to chief warden still confused as he stared blankly at the two men) allegations.

( Walks out with the warden while the chief warden follows behind panicking they go across the various prisons before arriving at black gate, the scene is gore at best, blood spewed everywhere from coughing and three bodies laying on the floor, one apparently dead.)

Chief WARDEN : sir I swear it's not what you are thinking....


D. O. P : what I am thinking? it's not about what I am thinking, you're a murderer, a corrupt officer and a sadist at best, I think I have made my conclusions ...


CHEIF WARDEN : hah sir no oh. (shouts at warden 1) go and get the doctors from the bay, these people are human beings for God sake.
(Warden1 rushes out and returns shortly with one of the doctors)

where is the other tall one?

WARDEN 1: sir, he didn't come to work yesterday and even today

D. O. P: what, is this how your workers behave, you mean prisoners will be left unattended to medically while your workers go around celebrating and gallivanting about (shakes his head) this is too much ..

CHIEF WARDEN : sir listen sir, this has never happened before ehm ( turns to the doctor) hey you what can we do now, this people can't die like this, it's inhumane and unjust, we are not killers we uphold the...


D. O. P : spare for patriotic civil bullsh*t officer and do something about your prisoners for God sake..

DOCTOR : we have to move them to the hospital right now sir, this is a poison sir, we are going to loose every single inmate right here if we don't act fast.

CHIEF WARDEN : ehm but our van can accommodate all this.....


D. O. P: I will help out, this men can't die, my car is there, let's go right now, this two are the most severe cases, is that correct sir (turns to the doctor)

DOCTOR : (yes sir bends to check on them) sir they have no time to spare again.

D. O. P: take them to my car, (turns to the chief warden) what on earth are you still standing here for (louder) Save your damn prisoners officer..

CHEIF WARDEN: (runs into the prison and attempts to help a prisoner up as the doctor and warden 1 take the two unconscious inmates out)

NARRATOR : if you want to walk out of a prison the least you can do is to try and do it in style.

SCENE : IKOKOH PRISON, BLACK GATE.





NARRATOR : you know what I hate more than a deal going south, is a mole, an informant , a so called judas whose attempts is for the destruction of the very same house that was built to protect him, a mole is like a green snake hidden perfectly in green grass, if you must kill the snake you must first take away the grass.



ELVIS THE DON: (frightened as he stares at his fellow inmates who are seriously sick, Wrangling in pains and a few coughing out bloody mucus, he stares at Caleb who is sitting and watching the event without a sign of panic or confusion and decides to go see him) What's happening?


CALEB : thirty eight out of the fourty one prisoners has showed sign of food poisoning ( stands up and starts walking past the distorted and Ill inmates whilst Elvis follows) which leaves us to you and I and one other smart individual now the question, who wouldn't eat in a prison cell where you only get to eat once in a day and who also wouldn't eat when you have good food in a place that rarely sees such even on a day like Christmas. (stops and turns towards Elvis who is starring confusingly at him.)


ELVIS THE DON: Ehm a smart individual?

CALEB : (smiles ) well some how but do you know what are the perks of been a mole within the prison walls, it's that you get extra of what every one gets , you get the so called quality your fellow inmates don't get, you get better food , better water.....


NARRATOR : people never really learn you know, I am the one guy you don't want to sneak up on.


Caleb turned his body swiftly to avoid getting jumped on from behind, as pawpaw crashed on top of Elvis who was rather too slow to react, both came crashing to the ground as pawpaw screamed at the top of his voice whilst he made way for the prison bars as if to make his voice more audible but Don Elvis held down his leg and this made him unable to react to the flying kick Caleb delivered to his chest sending him flying; back first to the prison bar, head second to the cemented floor, he shriveled and shook involuntarily as his head continued to bled out and soon after he stopped.


NARRATOR : paedophile, Smuggler and drug dealer and there he laid lifeless as the word lifeless could be.


ELVIS THE DON: (stands up as he clears himself up) and he was my second within these walls , I should kill him again.

CALEB: (stares at the Ill mates who seem to be getting worse, spewing blood and wrangling in pains) they have suffered enough, are you ready to go now?

ELVIS THE DON : I thought you said within the next six days.

CALEB : don't ever trust the words of a stranger ( delivers a deadly punch to the face of Elvis the Don who goes to the ground cold)


NARRATOR : and so it begins.

SCENE: LAGOS, BANANA ISLAND PURE GROOVE ESTATE





Elijah shot three times at the already dead corpse of his victim before proceeding to leave the Flat, his silencer ensured there was no gun sound rattling through the air.

He got into his car and proceeded to make a call as soon as he had drove out.


ELIJAH : we have a problem

RE: what happened?

ELIJAH : I found the apartment and the target wasn't there, I confirmed from his girlfriend that he was enroute to Calabar for some conference just ten minutes before my arrival.

RE: did you find anything within the room, precisely a little chip?

ELIJAH : you mean the disc?

RE: how did you know what it is called?

ELIJAH: the truth is just another bargain when death comes to the market, his girl talked about it thought .....

RE: What, he has the disc?

ELIJAH: he has a cracked disc, from my guess that's what has been giving the association sleep less nightmares.

RE: if he has the disc then he was working with...

ELIJAH : (cuts in) THE MYSTERY MAN, hmm I see.

RE: then you know what to do right?

ELIJAH: yes, I am heading to calabar now.

RE: No don't bother, we must approach this matter with the most caution, if you know what the mystery man is capable of then you must know that it calls for the most...

ELIJAH : you want to call in the twins, don't you?

RE: exactly but we have another lead for you, we have reasons to believe we have found our mole.

ELIJAH : interesting, I will send you the details of where I think your hacker might be...


RE: don't bother, we know where he is heading to.

CALL ENDS.

CHAPTER FOUR MOLE


SCENE : LAGOS, THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE




" 41 ISOKI RD, ABANDONED WAREHOUSE OFF PORT, COME ALONE AND UNARMED OR HE DIES SLOWLY "


Bashi Aliu increased speed , The message was as direct as every other information the association usually sent to him.

He got on his phone quickly and began to ring a number which seemed important at the moment; consistently redialling as soon as the previous ended with answer.

BASHI ALIU : (slams his right hand on the steering ) pick the phone dammit!

RE: (MALE VOICE) who is this?

BASHI ALIU : Blacky I know it's you, I need your help.

RE: (SILENCE THEN FEMALE VOICE) if it isn't the rat himself, what do you want?

BASHI ALIU : I need you enroute to this address....

RE: Wait, you do realize I have been in hiding for long now don't you, the ground is too cold for me to step on....

BASHI ALIU : (cuts in) I don't trust him, remember the association has a mole ,you of all should know that after the incident no one is to be trusted within the association for now plus I can't risk him knowing what you know.

RE: (silence) and you think I am to be trusted? never trust an assassin you always say that...

BASHI ALIU : (cuts in) listen to me, someone knows about my family and my son is in danger, I have an address I will send it to you, you owe me this much, remember?

RE: oh yes I remember, I owe you and Blacky always pays up , am on my way.

CALL END.

Bashi Aliu dropped the phone as soon as he could send the address, He drew the car compartment out-and brought out a service pistol out he shook his head slowly and drew the car compartment back in, he couldn't risk it, his best chances were on Blacky, she was all the help he could get for such a sensitive matter.

He starred at the drivers mirror, death was his game, he fancied every bit of it and enjoyed it right from his service days as a solider but somewhere within his mind, he wondered if this game of death was over for him.
