#previouslyon24 #chapternineteen #connectiontotheairportPreviously on 24...The President seemed happy as he gave a speech to the citizens of Nigeria about the attack that took many lives and properties. But the happiness was cut short as the arrest of Jakeem proved abortive which also resulted in the loss of lives. The inability to apprehend Jakeem according to Ben was due to Bill's lack of patience. However, they believed that apart from the virus; Dando was planning something big. Meanwhile, troubles loom at the ASO ROCK as Aisha's past sin finds her.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The following takes place between 2 PM and 4 PM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time: 14: 03: 53PMLocation: Murtala Muhammad airportAeroplanes of different sizes are seen leaving and arriving at the airport.

Let me guess you're here to interrogate me? How interesting" He ended with a peal of laughter. Ben on the other hand didn't mind his words. He just walked towards a seat which was placed adjacent to Muuz, drew it out and sat. He opened the file and brought some paperwork. "Okay, I'm not here for familiarities alright. I'm only here to ask you some questions regarding the attacks that happened earlier and the one that is to come" with a stern face, Ben said causing Muiz to make an unwanted smile...Out of the file, Ben brought out 3 paper images. He distributed them on the table for Muiz to see. One shows the picture of Jakeem, The other shows the picture of Dando and lastly a man."I have with me the images of the assumed

The hotel is well known for its quiet, serene and secure environment.Without the use of a gateman, The black large gate instantly opened by itself. All that was done was the gateman pressed a button, propelling the gate to open wide. Then a black Venza drove in, skidding towards the car park. Seconds later the car stopped and a lady came out of the car. She looked sharp in her yellow blouse and black skirt. Her hair was styled blonde and her eyelids were a bit longer than normal. With a faint smile on her face, she walked briskly towards the main entrance of the building with her black designer handbag.Pushing the glass door open, she walked up to the rec

He held his meeting with the president of the United state, Jake Wheeler. This time no Chief of staff nor a permanent secretary.Back when Mr president was schooling at Oxford, he met President Wheeler and the two became close friends. One of the reasons they became close friends was that they had a common goal which was to rule their country."Mr President, This is a big issue not only for Nigeria but globally" President Wheeler on the other end said with a concerned look.Mr president nodded repeatedly "I so much agree my friend. This is a global issue"Wheeler cuts in "This terrorist got to be stopped cause at the release of this biological weapon, billions of Lives would be lost compared to the 2019 case" he en
The faint voices he heard were now closer to the door. He comported himself like nothing went wrong. As he opened the door, he meet 6'8ft Akbar standing in front of him with an AK49. Jakeem was startled "Damn it, Akbar, you nearly scared me" Jakeem said as he quickly slid his phone into his pocket with Akbar not knowing."Sorry about that but who were you talking to?" Akbar asked with his deep masculine voice."Me? on the phone?" Jakeem thought of what to say. He later on opened his mouth to allow words to flow out of them."umm... oh yea I was just um talking to a friend of mine... So um he uh wa-wants me to um you know come over to have fun with him and I said I couldn't because you know I'm very busy" he ended by giving a fake smile."and that's all?" Akbar asked again with a suspicious look."Uhh, yea! that's all... nothing more"Akbar wasn't able to get if he was lying or not. Jakeem made sure he didn't put any form of emotions that could cause a bit of suspicion but still, Akbar

"Listen Muiz, I don't want to use this on you and that can only happen when you answer my question. What is set to happen at the Murtala airport at exactly 15:59?" he said staring at Muiz for an answer.Meanwhile, Bill found out about Ben's plan. He got to the door and realized that it had been jammed. He then ordered some other guards to try opening the door.Seeing he could be busted any minute, Ben intensified his interrogation by placing assault on Muiz as he used the bottom of the gun to hit his forehead which created a cut. Muiz groaned in pain."Tell me... what is set to happen" Ben barked again very hard but Muiz didn't seem to care."I am not telling you anything" Muiz's statement provoked Ben to the extent of removing the metal table in front of him. He placed the gun on his right l
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time: 15:35:31PMLocation: Aso RockStill, in the conference room, the President and his cabinet were deeply involved in the meeting. Opening the cabinets to what was going on remained a shock to them. However, deliberations, suggestions, clarification as well as disagreement were laid down."Mr President Just like the governor's suggestion, it'd be too late to begin the evacuation process but in the meantime, I think the 24-hour curfew would do" The Senate president suggested. He sat close to Yakubu, at the president's right hand."24-hour curfew you say" The Inspector General of police interrupted "But do we disclose what is going on to the public? Why we are enforcing a curfew" The IGP placed a question on the table. Everybody knew the answer to his question."That would be impossible. It would create panic in the public" The Minister of state affairs replied, glancing at the others who nodded at his answer."Then we place to them that there's a

But as the hours ran, it moved along with bad events...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The following takes place between 4 PM and 6 PMTime: 16:04:17 PMLocation: Murtala Muhammad's runaway~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BEN POV:Have you ever felt.... like in a scenario where you worked so hard to achieve something, you became very close to accomplishing that task and all of a sudden, in a twinkle of an eye, it all vanished. Vanishing could not only mean being out of sight, it could mean failure.One thing about Failure is, it comes with sidekicks. Depression, confusion, sadness, hopelessness and many others... Yeah based on my situation, I could really earn one of those spots, could be depression or hopelessness cause these first 8 hours as been hell for me.

Time: 22: 25: 39 PMLocation: Allen Road, VGCThe darkness enveloped the posh neighbourhood of Allen Road, VGC as Ben parked his sleek BMW a few houses away from PBOX no 2234. He had received a crucial update from the FBI about the whereabouts of a Chinese man who actually sold the virus Dando possessed. This time, he was on his own, without his partner Kelvin, whom he always considered like a son.As he sat in the car, a sense of responsibility weighed on him. He wanted to protect Kelvin from the dangers they faced in their line of work, but he also knew that Kelvin was a capable agent who shared the same dedication to safeguarding their nation.Gathering his resolve, Ben stepped out of the car, his heart pounding with adrenaline. The Chinese man's residence was guarded by two armed men, and Ben expected nothing less from someone involved in such dangerous and deadly activities. He knew he had to tread carefully.With precision, Ben made a call to the FBI, requesting the house schemat
Previously on 24The Day started like every other day, normal, fine but what the day brought was unexpected. After getting to know about the virus, explosions were set in motion. Jakeem's best friend was killed and his girlfriend was almost murdered. Bill was replaced by his loggerhead coursemate. Ben was debriefed by Atlas which was not a good one. Finally obtaining the location of Dando and his allies, Ben and his men weren't aware of what lies for them. Aisha soon found out the most shocking and unbelievable thing, her father most trusted aid planned her kidnap to use her as leverage to get what he wants.For Ben, it seemed the investigation will start from scratch with no leads at hand, and to tell, time is running out.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The following takes place between 10 PM and 12 PM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time: 22: 01: 12 PMLocation: An unknown street in the city of LagosThe black SUV maneuvered through the dimly lit streets of Lagos, its occupants
Time: 21:47:14 PMLocation: Five minutes away from the warehouseBen sat behind the wheel of his sleek black BMW, glancing at his partner, Kelvin, seated beside him. The engine hummed with anticipation as the convoy of FBI vehicles raced through the city streets, their sirens wailing in the night.It was like luck was on their side. After weeks of tireless investigation, they finally found Dando's location. Inside the BMW, Ben's mind was focused, his senses sharpened. He could feel the weight of the mission resting on his shoulders. Beside him, Kelvin was equally prepared, his steely gaze fixed ahead.As they arrived at their destination, the warehouse loomed before them, the gate left widely open. The sight sent a ripple of caution through Ben's spine. He exchanged a glance with Kelvin, silently communicating their shared concern.Ben quickly got down from his Jeep together with Kelvin and the rest of the agents. He took charge by dividing the team into subunits—Alpha, Delta, and Ome
Time: 21: 26: 59 PMLocation: Federal Bureau of Investigation 30 Minutes after her extraction from Charles's house, Kelvin arrived at the FBI. He walked into the cortex and was lucky to meet Bill, atlas, Christabel, Nick and shockingly Ben together, discussing. Kelvin halted in front of them, introducing them to Amanda and also explaining what happened back at the house"I'm sorry that I doubted you. I just can't hold on to the fact that my boyfriend is a terrorist""It's okay alright, it's one of those things that happen" Sarah answered her with a smile.Ben just staring at them made a quick thought. Suddenly he had a plan that they could use to capture Jakeem, dando and his allies.He beckoned them to the conference room for a meeting, also tagging Amanda along."This plan is a long shot but if we play it the right way, there's a 100% we apprehend Dando and his team"Ben's words placed them in confusion, they glanced among themselves with no idea of the plan he had."Okay, so what
Time: 21:08:11 PMLocation: The Holding roomBen explained all of his activities that took place from when he woke up, down till that time. He explained in detail to atlas: about their lead on Muiz, and how they attacked him which made them find out about a virus. He also made him know about Ahmed's son Jakeem, who escaped with the same virus. Ben made mention of how Bill through his instruction jeopardised their chances of arresting Jakeem.Atlas remembered he heard something of such in the news, a disturbance along ojota road.Ben went on to explain the assault he placed on Ahmed when he was unwilling to disclose Dando's location.Atlas made sure he took notes of Ben's explanation, but not all. On the table was found a phone which he used to record every word made by Ben.Ben got to the part where his son was kidnapped and that the only way he could get back Sam was to swap with Muiz. Ben unravelled in full, trying to clarify the fact that he released Muiz because he had a plan.Sti
Time: 20: 50: 56 PMLocation: The Holding roomBen John was directed to the holding room where he sat for nearly two hours. He was offered a meal as he asked. Ben remembered he hadn't eaten anything since he left home in the morning. Within two minutes, he finished a bowl of custard, two actually. Ever since Anita died, custard has been his favourite. Ben was so occupied, he didn't have time to cook, not that his meals were that great but it was presentable.He was still thinking about his son and what was going out there when he heard the sound of the door unlocked. His eyes trailed towards the door which revealed atlas and Reggie walking into the room."Oh, shit" Ben mumbled within. Though he didn't want Bill to debrief him, Ben didn't pray for someone like atlas.Ben worked with Atlas back in port Harcourt and he could swear that it was the worst time of his life. Headquarters had to intervene in their rift for them to get along. Atlas had a deceptive look, deceiving people that he
Time: 20:25:10 PMLocation: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION "I'm with you sir" Bill said with a non-spontaneous look. He stood on his feet with his gaze at the workers down the cortex through his glass.Mr President's chat with Director Jandor was quick and simple, to find a replacement for Bill. His ineffectiveness has cost lives and properties and with immediate effect, Director Jandor ordered one of his best agents with a high rank, just the same as Bill to head down to FBI. Jandor phones Bill to inform him about the situation. There was nothing he could do and asides from that, he had expected something like that."All thanks to Ben who extracted their only lead and got him killed" Bill thought to himself after ending the call over a minute ago. He also thought he had to address his team about the situation.Before heading downstairs, Bill had packed his stuff. His pen, file, pictures of his family which were carved into a mini frame and others. He simply arranged them inside his
Time: 20:01:21PMLocation: ASO ROCK.Outside the presidential villa, the number of light that illuminated the surrounding were countless, from different angles. One could mistell that it was daylight if not for the sky which was dark, filled with stars and the moon.The lights were so much that in an open space, one couldn't see its shadow. It became an advantage and ease for the guards to spot any suspicious activities around.As usual, whether it was day or night, the inside was always lighted, lighted enough to show the beauty of the villa.Yakubu walked past the first floor into an elevator. He tapped the 4th floor which happens to be the presidential floor. He tucked his hands into his suit trousers waiting for the elevator to stop.It was just like a coincidence, as soon as the elevator stopped, his phone rang out. Yakubu removed his hands from his pocket together with his phone which was on his right."Hello" That was his only response to the greeting made by the caller. As he
Time: 19: 35: 31 PMLocation: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONTwo BMW vehicles drove into the building's park. They halted and turned off their engine, together with their dipped light. The parking lot was lit with flood lights hung at different angles. The back doors were open and Ben and Sam came out. Ben held him by the shoulder as they were accompanied into the cortex. Everyone already knew what was going on so as Ben stepped in, all eyes were on him. Some murmured among themselves, and others gossiped about Ben and Kendra's relationship. They wondered if they were dating each other which shouldn't be.Bill was informed about the arrival of Ben. He gave Nick and Hakeem instructions before walking out of the conference room, with a file in his hand.Ben who was standing afar off with his son wrapped around him spotted Bill heading toward him with two guards. Ben left his son and marched towards Bill"Hey, any words from Kelvin? has Muiz been caught?" Ben asked as soon as he got to
