‘Over here,’ Dave waved to Lizzy who was
pulling a box along with her. She had just
arrived from Abuja after Dave pleaded for her
help in Lagos.
Dave stepped out of the car to help her with her
box. He opened the door to the backseat for her
to enter and then put the box in the boot before
getting back into the car.
‘Lizzy, thanks so much for coming.’ he
appreciated as he got back into the driver’s side.

‘Okay Dave, you’ve still not told me where you’ve
been all this while.’ Lizzy replied.
‘I’ll tell you Lizzy,’ Dave replied as he pulled on
his seatbelt, he took a glance back at her with a
smiling face.
‘I’ve asked you that question several times also,
you never answered me.’ Dakolo who was sitting
beside him at the front put in.
‘Oh! Pardon my manners, I’m yet to introduce
you two to each other. Lizzy, this is Inspector
Dakolo, popular police agent. Inspector, please
meet Lizzy my favorite partner. We’d all be
working together for this assignment.’
Dakolo turned to look at Lizzy, he forced on a
smile. ‘Nice to meet you Agent Lizzy,’ he said and
stretched out his palm for a handshake.
‘My pleasure sir, ‘ she took his hand without
smiling.
There was silence for half a minute.
‘You’re yet to answer my question Dave,’ Lizzy
spoke up.
‘I would,’ Dave replied, still having a broad smile
on. He looked into the rearview mirror and his
eyes met with Lizzy’s. ‘First, I got to apologise to
you for disappearing for so long without any
word and not contacting you immediately I got
back. Inspector Dakolo, you were the first person
I contacted after getting back myself after I was
changed to another person.’
Lizzy was quiet. Dave stopped talking as they got
close to the gate. He got cleared by the airport
gate officials and then drove out.
‘I was captured by Samantha Osman,’ Dave
continued. He paused to see the expression on
their faces. ‘But she did not kill me, I don’t know
if she was just nice or if I was lucky to have
someone working in her team which I knew.’
‘She let you go just like that?’ Inspector Dakolo
cut in.
‘Yeah,’ he replied and giggled as he saw the
shocked look on Dakolo’s face.
‘That’s doesn’t make sense, it’s unbelievable. I
don’t believe she can leave you alive after having
the chance to kill you talk more of releasing
without hurting you.’

‘Yeah, she’s not that stupid. She tried to wipe off
my memory but somebody else helped me.’
Dakolo released a deep breath with an
exclamation, he seemed thoroughly confused. ‘So
she knew you were an agent after her life and
she still kept you alive? Sounds unlike Samantha
Osman, she doesn’t leave any trace.’
‘Yeah, true. She doesn’t leave any trace but she’s
not that cruel as we all think she is, she doesn’t
kill when she has an option to show mercy.’
Dakolo looked more confused. Dave’s words
seemed to be making it more difficult to
comprehend.
‘So who’s that person who helped you?’ Lizzy
asked.
Dave glanced at her with a smile. ‘Well, I don’t
need to answer that, she’d join us soon. She has
some work to do with us.’
There was a minute silence.
‘Have you checked again if their location have
changed?’ Lizzy asked.
‘The NIS men? No, I haven’t checked again but I
believe they would still remain in Solace Hotel.’
‘Then what’s your plan?’
‘We are going there but I don’t think we have to
be patient because we don’t have the manpower
to handle her,’ Dave said.
‘We can get the police to do it, we don’t have to
spearhead it ourselves.’ Dakolo put in.
‘The police would fail woefully like they’ve
always done,’ Dave replied him blankly.
‘Samantha Osman is a crazy assassin with a
crazy team but there’s just more than Samantha
Osman there, we have about ten trained SSS men
working against Samantha Osman, so any other
team either us or the police will be going against
the two teams.’
Dakolo heaved a sigh of frustration. The case was
more complicated that he was seeing it. He
understood why it was really a job for the SSS.
‘What’s your plan Dave? Just being patient?’
Lizzy questioned.
‘Yes, we’d be patient and watch them to against
each other. Let Samantha Osman’s team go
against Elvis Richards team while we watch, ‘ he
explained. He stopped and glanced as he heard
sounds of disagreement grunts from Dakolo, the
Inspector seemed not to agree with him. ‘We
don’t have a choice, we can’t stop them even if
we try to.’ he said in a strong tone.’
He remained silent for about thirty seconds
before he spoke again.
‘We have to watch them fight, we’d come in
when their strengths have reduced, but if
Samantha Osman team dominates the fight, we’d
watch for a possible escape of the Elvis Richards
team members. If any of their key members tries
to escape after defeat and escapes successfully,
that key member will lead us straight to Elvis
Richards, that would make things easier for us.
However, any team who wins gives us an
advantage.’
Dakolo heaved another sigh. ‘I really do hope
you’re right.’
‘I believe it will,’ Dave replied with smiles. He
seemed to be confident that his plan was going to
work. He took a glance at Lizzy. ‘Thanks again
Lizzy for coming, I really can’t trust anyone else
in the agency.’
Lizzy let out a forced smile. She felt guilty
knowing that she had betrayed his trust. She
wondered how he would feel when he finds out
that she had once worked with the enemy
because she was mad at him.
Dave moved to the slow lane on the road as he
continued to drive slowly. He took out his phone
and dialed a number.
‘Move to the restroom for ladies, stay at the first
toilet, I’m sending someone to meet you there
now.’ he said into the phone and thereafter
glanced at Lizzy. He put the phone down. ‘Lizzy,
please we’d stop at a shopping mall. Stephanie
George would be waiting for you in the first toilet
at the ladies restroom. There are policemen
monitoring her, we need to get her disguised to
take her with us without being followed.’
‘Okay,’ she responded calmly. A little bit of anger
rose in her heart but she resisted it. Dave was
asking her to go pick the same person who was
the reason for which she worked with the enemy.
Before she knew it, he had picked a makeup kit
bag from Dakolo and handed it to her. She stared
at the kit bag and let out a breath.of fresh The
only reason she was going to honour that request
was the weight of the mission and the knowledge
of Dave having fall into the hands of Samantha
before.
Soon Dave stopped the car in front of the
restaurant and Lizzy went into the place.
For the first two minutes, the men sat in the
motionless car silently until Dakolo voiced out
question in his heart.
‘Agent Dave, apart from being a top undercover
agent, what other things do I need to know about
you?’
Dave squinted at him. ‘Other things like?’
‘Your real name? Real mission? Whatever. I
believe I’m yet to meet the real you but since
you’ve revealed your identity to me and made me
your friend, I can ask for more about you.’
Dave smiled. ‘You’d know me well enough,’ he
said and then licked his lips gently. His smile
slowly diminished and a sad look dominated his
face, he rested his back slowly and closed his
eyes. ‘I’m yet to know the real me.’
‘Is there any problem?’ Dakolo asked.
Dave didn’t respond, he was lost in thoughts
already.
‘Agent Dave,’ Dakolo called again.
‘Yeah, sorry,’ he jerked up. ‘I was thinking
already.’
‘What are you thinking about?’
‘Elvis Richards, I’m wondering how and why he
chose to use the Solace Hotel. It’s a well secured
hotel and the management would willingly give
him out to the police if contacted.’
Dakolo’s eyes shone widely, he had never
thought about that. ‘Then we should do that right
away, I mean contact the police and the
management of the hotel.’
‘We’d mess things up that way,’ Dave warned.
‘Remember that Elvis Richards gets information
from the police and then, there must be
something which makes him think Solace Hotel is
a safe Haven for him which we don’t know, we
have to stick to our plan.’
Location: Solace Hotel, Lagos.
Time: 5:33pm
‘Are you sure you ain’t playing any stupid games
with us, it’s past an hour you got here and you
still haven’t been able to reach Samantha,’ Eric
let out his impatience finally. He had his eyes
looking straight at Carl even though he was
talking to Henry.
Taking directions from the NIS chairman, they
had tracked the Elvis Richards team up to the
Solace Hotel but were unable to get to the exact
point in the hotel where they were. The NIS
chairman through the same medium with which
he sent directions had told them he was unable
to locate the men inside the walls of the hotel.
The hotel had forty floors and it would cause
some confusion if Carl and Eric’s team decided to
check each floor. So they booked an apartment
with three bedrooms and a big living room.
Sixteen of them in total had gotten into the
apartment before Victoria joined them with
Henry and two other men while the rest of the
team were around the area.
Henry was sitting on a couch in the living room,
directly facing Carl on the opposite seat while
Victoria was sitting on the sofa beside his. Eric
was sitting at the dining area working on his
laptop while the other men were around, in the
different rooms waiting for further instructions.
Instead of searching through every floor, rooms
and apartments, Eric and Carl had decided it’ll
be a better option to wait until Henry got in
touch with Samantha Osman who would possibly
know the specific part of the hotel where the
embattled Vice President was.
‘She’s not answering her calls,’ Henry replied
Eric after dialing Tarasha’s number again. He
had placed it on loud speaker to make it the call
response clear to all of them. ‘She might be busy
and when she is, she only communicates with
Talkon devices which I don’t have with me here.’
‘F*** you! Is there no other way you can reach
her?’ Eric asked angrily as he got up from his seat
and approached the sitting area.
‘You told me not to call anyone else,’ Henry
replied her. He seemed confident and unruffled
by Eric’s harsh manner of talking.
‘I think you should call someone else now,’ Carl
spoke up. He adjusted himself on his seat and
placed his pistol on his knee.
Henry dialed Cole’s phone number. He placed it
on loud speaker and the call was answered after
the first ring. He removed from loud speaker
before placing it close to his ear.
‘Hello Cole,’ Henry spoke first.
‘Henry, where are you? Have you come back to
your senses?’
‘Where’s the boss? I need to speak with her, I
need her help to get my mother back,’ Henry
replied, ignoring his remarks.
‘She isn’t here, I believe she’s quite busy.’ Cole
replied.
‘Where are you?’
‘Why do you ask?’
‘I need to join you guys,’ Henry replied. ‘I can’t
help my mother on my own, I’ll wait until we
finish our work together.’
‘Oh! What brought you back to your senses?’
‘Just answer my question Cole,’ Henry slammed.
‘We’re at Sam Hub.’
‘Sam Hub? Doing what?’
‘Trying to locate the others through Chief Gab,
Tarasha’s finding it difficult as they’re in a
secure environment.’
‘Okay, is the boss there with you?.’ Henry
replied.
‘Yes, she is around here.’
‘Okay, I’m coming to meet you there.’
‘Where exactly are you now?’ Cole asked.
‘You don’t need to know,’ Henry replied.
‘Well, don’t try anything stupid and make sure
no one follows you.’ Cole warned.
‘Send me the exact address of where you are or
turn on your location so that I can find you.’
‘I’ll send you the address.’
‘Do it quick.’
Henry ended the call and took the phone off his
ear. He was looking straight at Carl’s eyes while
being sure that every other person’s eyes were
on him.
‘Henry wants to join us back,’ Cole announced to
Tomi and Mr Matthew who were in the car with
him. Tomi was sitting beside him at the front
while Mr Matthew was sitting at the back.
‘Where did he go before? I thought he was with
the boss,’ Tomi asked.
‘No, he left us when we left the base, he went for
his own task without her permission.’
‘And he’s coming back now?’
‘Yes.’
‘Why did you tell him the location? You don’t
know if the boss wants him back or if he’s gotten
into trouble,’ Tomi protested.
‘The boss wants him back, she would have told
him the address herself if she was able to answer
his calls.’
‘I just hope you did the right thing,’ Tomi said,
sounding doubtful.
‘Rest your mind Tomi, I know what Tarasha
wants.’
Five minutes later, someone tapped the right side
backseat glass gently. They all looked and saw
the shape of a lady but didn’t see her face. Cole
knew instantly that it was Tarasha, he unlocked
the door from his place and she opened and
entered after dropping in her backpack first.
‘Welcome boss,’ Tomi greeted on seeing her
enter. Mr Matthew also followed her example
and mumbled some words of greeting.
Tarasha’s mind was too busy that she did not pay
attention to their greeting. She went straight to
business, ‘I hope you briefed them both on their
duties.’
‘Yes boss,’ Cole answered.
Tarasha took out a small chip and attached to the
collar of Mr Matthew. ‘We would leave you in
this car, don’t open up for anyone else but
Henry.’
The man nodded in reply.
‘I’m increasing the receiving signal for your chip,
so I’ll get to hear whatever conversation you
have with Henry, but you don’t try to tell me
anything while he’s listening.’ she continued. She
took out an earpiece and gave it to him, ‘You’ve
learnt how to use this as part of your training in
the last few days, I’ll give you instructions with
it.’
The man nodded again. He already knew what to
do.
‘We have available three different cars,’ she said,
now talking to Tomi and Cole. She passed a bag
to Tomi, ‘The device ID is there and the apps are
running, you’d feed Cole and I with necessary
data as we proceed.’
Tomi nodded in approval.
Tarasha handed car key to her. ‘Check your text
message, you’d find the exact location where
your car is. It’s five minutes walk from here.
We’d start the task by seven o’clock.’
‘Okay boss,’ Tomi took the key and then stepped
out of the car with the bag.
Tarasha watched as she walked away. Cole had
already briefed her on what she needed to do
and was sure she would be able to accomplish it.
Tarasha had gone into the solace hotel control
room and hacked into their system, getting the
API codes for all their security cameras. Tomi’s
job was to act as their eyes and direct their
movement in the building, especially for the
purpose of locating entrances and escape exits.
Tarasha had during the days they stayed in the
base all day trained all her employees to have
basic knowledge in every area of her job, both in
the use of guns, technology and maneuvering of
roads and routes for escape and that was why it
was possible for Tomi to carry out the task.
‘Are we going in different cars too?’ Cole asked.
‘No, the both of us goes together in the third car,
that’s where our weapons are.’
‘Okay boss.’
‘I have the codes to their control room already, so
your primary mission with me is to work and
fight the control room. You’d watch me from
there and also make sure Tomi keep getting
feeds. You’ll also serve as a backup for her. But
majorly, you’d unlock and open doors for me,
open escapes for me and close against the
enemies. Tomi’s job is to find these access centres
while you give me access.’
‘Sounds great boss, but…’Cole voice faded off as
he stared at her with some concern.
‘But what?’
‘I think you may need me to be with you instead,
boss you’ve worked so much today. You’ve
engaged in a fight on the train and another few
hours and I know you might have sustained some
little injuries. Rex and his men on the other hand
are well prepared for today, they must have had
some time to rest well and are expecting you. I
should be with you to help physically.’
Tarasha knew he was saying the truth but she
believed she needed more technological help
than physical. Cole was meant to assist her
physically from the onset while Henry was
supposed to take on the task in the control room
but Henry’s absence had caused a big space in
the team.
‘I need you more in the control room,’ Tarasha
replied him. ‘I discovered that Solace Hotels is
owned by Elvis Richards himself and that’s why
he’s comfortable there, he would have planned a
way of escape in case I come but with you in the
control room, you’d be able to lock him in totally
and prevent him from leaving.’
Cole heaved a sigh. Her explanation made him
understood the importance of his task at the
control room and he decided to give it his best.
‘You’d have to be careful boss.’
Tarasha let out a brief smile, ‘I was born and
trained for this!’
7:17pm
Rex released the content of the third syringe into
his arm finally and flung the syringe away. He
walked close to table where there was a mirror
behind. He picked up the pistol on the table and
held it to as he stared at his reflection in the
mirror. He could see the reflection of the other
men behind him, they were alert and ready for
his instructions. Through the mirror reflection,
he also noticed a red light blinking from the
camera at the left corner of the room. It was a
sign that the source of power was either low or
something was wrong with the camera.’
‘She’s here,’ he announced aloud.
Emotions, is really breaking up d team.🥺
