Time: 18:56:12PMLocation: ASO ROCK.Inside his office, Mr president stood, pacing around with his hands tucked into his pocket. The button of his suit was opened revealing his shirt which was a bit drenched with sweat. His body opposed the fact that the air conditioner was on.His thoughts were mainly based on the events happening so far, especially today. In all of his dealings with "bad circumstances," as he normally addressed the word, this was his worst one so far. Normally, after attacking, the terrorists would call, placing their demands. But this was different. Up till that hour, no call had been made from Dando and his gang, talkless of making his demand.His mind kept hammering at the virus that may be used to threaten him if he doesn't agree with their demand. Technology has gone to the extent that this virus could be altered into a biological weapon like gas. Once released would circulate the targeted area and in less than some hours, every living thing would drop dead.Mr
Time: 19:13:22 PMLocation: ASO ROCK Dando's location could not be gotten. According to Nick, the call was made from a scrambled cell phone which was a bit hard to navigate the location. It would take a long minute to triangulate the location only if the caller was still on phone for that long period.Mr President had to prepare a meeting with some of his cabinets and this time the president of Ghana. He needed to be part of the meeting due to the antagonist involved. Whether they liked it or not, dando was still a citizen of Ghana and the government of ghana must be involved in whatever actions would be placed on him.Yakubu didn't buy the idea of signing the release of the inmates. Mr President also concurred with Yakubu's idea. It would be a disgrace to the image of the country if the president agrees to the term of the terrorist. But in this case, Mr president had no choice but to acknowledge his demands and besides he had only 30 minutes. After a series of deliberation,
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
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: 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: 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: 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: 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
