Several days passed by, with Reece and Samuel anxiously waiting to hear from the fishmonger they had spoken to days ago.
"We're running out of time bro, still no word from the lady. Why don't we go searching for him ourselves?"says Reece whose running out of patience."Relax man,she said she's gonna call if she see's him come around.Besides,we can't be seen there all the time or else we may be mistaken as agents of the outlaws. Let's have patience and wait." says Sam, trying to give him some hope.
They suddenly receive a call from an unknown number and Reece picks up the phone,"Reece Blay ,NIA how may I help you?". To their surprise it's a lady's voice and she identifies herself as the fishmonger they met some nights ago "He's here, hurry up before he leaves. He's come at a rather unusual time . Wait…" as she breaks in silence "What's going on?" Reece asks. "They are some strange people also following him, are they with you guys?" She asks.
"Oh no"says Reece as the pressure and fear begins to mount and they both tell her to keep an eye on them until they get there as they grab their guns and move out without permission.
"You know,Mr.Norman's gonna be furious with us and we might loose our jobs." Samuel tells Reece as he replies saying "At least we're doing this for the good of our country" as they get into the mission patrol cars and drive straight to Dr.Manuel's residence.
They've finally arrived and ask the fishmonger,"Are they still in there?", and lucky enough for them they're on time "They're still in there and all they've been talking about is a bloodline."she says.
"We need a plan bro cause we can't wait for backup or he's dead." Sam tells Reece as he begins to panic . Reece says" They're 5 of them and two of us but I think we can take them on. We're gonna use the back door, cover me as I get to the professor, and pls don't hurt him."
They go in slowly through the back door and pull up a sneak attack on the outlaw guarding the door to avoid being noticed and hide behind the sides of the open door close to the living room where they have eyes on the Doctor and the other outlaws where they see the Doctor at gun point and about to be shot, Reece screams"Doc!!!! Get down!!!"
Dr.Manuel gets down and Sam gets a clear shot and shoots one of the outcasts as does Reece leaving one left but unfortunately he escapes.
"Doc are you okay?" Reece asks Dr.Manuel and he says"Yes I am but someone's not going to be , wait who are you guys?" They reply showing him their NIA identity cards and they ask,"Dr, what did they want and what did you tell them?" he replies telling them that the asked for the identity of the last bloodline of King Nana Nkrumah and for the fear of loosing his life he gave it to them.
"We have to act fast before the outlaws achieve their goal" Reece says as they drive back to headquarters.
Upon their arrival to headquarters, they clash with Mr.Norman who has been searching for them and he asks,"Where have the two of you been.You left the office without my permission and also took a patrol car out as well. What were you guys thinking?" 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
They finally arrive at the National Museum of Ancient Tradition and noticed that the place has been surrounded by the police who tell them that,"We've got them surrounded, the moment they step out we get them, we've also evacuated the area so that no one else gets hurt." "What do you mean no one else? " Mr.Norman asks. "The workers in the museum,we believe are either dead or injured cause we heard gunshots from the building when we arrived here" They reply. "Sir we have to go in now before it's too late" Reece says to Mr.Norman with fear that by the time they come out, the outcasts would be powerful and there would be nothing they can do to stop them."Reece just listen to orders and let's wait till they come out and then we attack" Mr.Norman warns him and tells him not to do anything silly. Reece has no option than to follow orders and waits till they come out knowing very well that it would not end well for them.He goes back into the patrol van and waits as he's been told to
Reece, has been lying in the NIA health center for three days now and has not recovered from his unconsciousness after the brutal clash with the outcasts with the diamond still attached to his chest. The only people who saw the Diamond on his chest were,Mr. Norman,Samuel,Dr.Manuel and the medical attendants to Reece. They tried effortlessly to get the Diamond of his chest but it was to no avail thinking that if they were able to do that, he would regain consciousness but that wasn't the case as Dr.Manuel explained to them that the Diamond couldn't be removed unless the sacrifice was made and that sacrifice was going to depend on Reece if he woke up. The media had come around after the deadly clash of which lives were lost to cover the story but Mr. Norman didn't engage them to tell them anything l. All he told them that everything was under control and that they were still doing their best to find the leader of the outcasts. Reece's room was guarded by two agents of
While they were in Reece's healthcare room,Dr.Manuel narrated the true history behind the black diamond such that they would know it's power and beware of what would happen if it fell into the wrong hands. He said that, a very long time ago,before colonization The kings of the various states were troubled by the injustice they suffered at the hands of their old rulers they fled from and for this matter they resulted in wars against each other thinking the other tribes were enemies which led to the death of many people. They all came together and decided to consult the greatest fetish priest of the land which was Boakye Addo. When they put their request before him, he asked them to give him time to consult the gods go give them an answer. After three days of consultation,he came out with an answer in the form of the black diamond. He told the kings that the purest of hearts was the king who would be selected to bear its power, on the night of the blood moon the kings surrou
"Reece, as they normally say in the movies to heroes, with great power comes great responsibility, I think you should also stick to that after hearing what Dr.Manuel has said and the power the diamond holds, you should be careful on how to use the diamond " says Samuel to Reece as he advises him that with the diamond attached to him, his life would change and that he would take on a new journey. " All my life, all I've wanted is justice for the innocent and I believe with this power in hand I can do just that. Even if I'm not able to save everyone, I'll be of assistance to many people and save lives even if it means not having a family." says Reece ."I never thought we'd come this far concerning the diamond but after what has happened each and every one of you here is in danger and we would have to keep your locations discreet from everyone else. I'm taking you guys to a secret safe house in Adenta. Make sure no one knows about this, you have an hour to go to your old houses
After Mr.Norman left them, they noticed that it was getting really late and moved to their rooms ,arranged their stuffs and got to sleep. Mr.Norman left them with guns and equipped the house with alarm systems and CCTV cameras such that they could protect themselves.Reece laid down on his bed feeling exhausted and sleepy, thinking about how his life would look like cursed by the diamond. "What would life be without no wife and no family?"he asked himself as he lied down and fell asleep. At midnight the diamond began to glow as he had series of dreams which made him feel very uncomfortable and also a lot of voices of people screaming in his head. Dr.Manuel noticed the light in his room as his room was opposite Reece's and went to see what was going on. When he opened the door, he saw Reece sweating profusely and the diamond on his chest glowing and tapped him on his shoulder saying,"Reece!,Reece!!,Wake up". Reece upon hearing Dr.Manuel's voice immediately woke up from his sl
After two weeks of isolation,Mr.Norman returns to the safe house to pick them up to continue their lives. During those two weeks Mr.Norman was able to clear out the case of the Black Diamond from the memory of the public,of which he told them that,there was no truth in its myth and that everything has been resolved. A replica of the Black Diamond such that there would be no questions about it's whereabouts with the real one still attached to Reece's chest. Reece within the two days learnt how to use the power of the diamond and noticed that the power of the Diamond had limits. He could only see into the near future and also he couldn't see everything at once. During his training, he took notes of certain incidents that would happen and informed Mr.Norman about them such that they would be able to act quickly. Samuel and Reece returned back to the NIA as George and Dr.Manuel both returned to school with strict supervision from agents of the NIA to keep them safe and pro
Weeks passed by as Reece's power grew stronger and stronger,but he still found it difficult to find the outcasts. His main aim was to bring them down once and for all but there was no sign of them and and nether could the diamond reveal their location.They had not acted in the past weeks,keeping a low profile knowing that if they did something,If Reece got to the spot of the incidence, he would be able to know what happened and they would be exposed. Victor Gaden ,AKA Death-claw,the leader of the outcasts,who had already had an encounter with Reece,was able to stay alive after being shot by Reece during the night he was chosen had a lot of plans in mind to retrieve the diamond from Reece because he still wanted power to rule the country. Growing up as a child,Death-claw never had any interest in ruling the country all he wanted was to be a successful man to help others just like his father, but something unfortunate happened. His father went bankrupt and they found it
