Reece replies saying,"Sir with all due respect, it was very necessary we moved out and we couldn't ask for your permission because there was no time and we had to save him". "Who did you have to save?" asks Mr.Norman who's confused about what's going on and the professor steps out of the car.
"Isn't that Dr.Herman Manuel??Whats he doing here ? I thought he got missing after the black Diamond was stolen? How did you guys find him?" Mr.Norman asks,"No time to explain sir, there's someone who's in danger and needs our help immediately and we have to act fast before the outcasts do" says Samuel.
"What are you talking about ?" asks Mr.Norman as he receives a call from the head of Police saying there's been a kidnapping at the University of Ghana-Legon and the individual taken was a boy who bears the name George Nkrumah. This caused a shock on the face of Dr.Manuel saying"Oh no they have him,the last bloodline".
" We have to move fast." Reece tells Mr.Norman. "Okay,I'll gather our top agents and we move out tonight, I'm receiving word that the outlaws would be at the National Museum of Ancient Tradition" replies Mr.Norman.
The doctor tells them that they'll be there to perform the ritual which is supposed to be at 12 midnight.
The HO of the NIA gathers the troops and they move out as he calls Samuel and Reece to join them and says to both of them"We're gonna have a long chat after all this is over". They both gear up and join the squad.
