Previously on 24...After getting to know about the virus, Ben strived hard to stop Dando and his other plans but the more he tried, the more it moved from bad to worse. Ben started losing hope after the explosion at the airport. He placed it on himself to stop the explosion but he couldn't. His son needed his help but in such an unbelievable and unthinkable way. Still, as a father, he had to go against the book to save his son. Bill's ineffectiveness was now causing the president to take drastic actions.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The following takes place between 6 PM and 8 PM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time: 18:02:45 PMLocation: Warehouse in apapaSlowly the sun was disappearing leaving its only hints in the reddish sky... The roads were filled with cars and buses not to forget, trucks. People either coming back from work or going out with their dates.A truck carrying unknown items deviated from the highway into a street. It took several minutes before it halted
Time: 18:20:39 PMLocation: Excellence International Hotel Aside from Abuja, Lagos has one of the best hotels located in different areas... Lekki, Victoria island, banana Island, VGC, Magodo, Ajah most especially Ikeja. The rate at which hotels were built in Ikeja surpasses many other places. This is because of how close the Murtala Muhammad is to Ikeja. Those who are just coming back or better still need a place to stay before travelling mostly lodge in hotels very close to the airport and since Ikeja is near, the lodge in.Among the finest hotels in Ikeja, excellence Internationals happen to be the first on the ranking board. Many dignities who had travelled from different parts for meetings prefer to lodge at the excellence hotel.Amanda back at the airport took a cab and asked for one of the finest hotels. The cab driver took her straight to the excellence hotel. The building was magnificent. It was built like that of a castle. The materials used in construction were shipp
Time: 18:36:22PMLocation: 30 seconds before the gunshot Muiz was pushed to walk towards his people. He treaded slowly on the ground with his bare foot. Passing through Sam, he glared at him making the kid frightened. As he passed him, he sighted a sniper being set towards him. He was shocked, scared and horrified, thinking they wanted to kill him, not when a loud bang was heard.The loud bang was actually the sniper shooter thudding his body at the van and then to the ground. His men turned back and spotted him on the ground with blood gushing out of his head. Muiz ran to the scene and realized what happened. It was then they saw a figure very far from them, on a van with a sniper. The figure got down from the top of the van and entered, telling the driver to navigate towards them...Instantly the leader of the terrorist banged his fist twice on the body of the van and instantly 5 other terrorists came out making eight with Muiz.They started shooting at the van and other veh
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
