Lucile Johnson was in her bedroom when the message came into her phone. She reached for the phone on her bed and opened it up. It was the photo she requested from her aunt Nena.The photo of her supposed fiancé. She opened up the JPEG file excitedly but the image that appeared after the file had downloaded left her in utter shock. The face on the image was surprisingly familiar. This was a face she knew all too well and the shock she felt now was overwhelming. She quickly dropped the phone and buried her awestruck lips behind her palms. “oh my god’ she thought aloud “could this really be? After all these years? He has shown up again?” the questions kept on flashing through her mind as she remained astonished at the turn of events.This was a blast from the past, one which had come rather unexpectedly. “I need to inform aunt Nena” she thought, as she picked up her phone to dial her Nena’s number again.There was a beep at the ring, indicating that the line was busy. Lucile reached
Back at the police station. Director Gambo had been furious all morning. He had been trying to get a hold of Nena on the phone but she had not been available. He was even more furious now that he saw her walking into the building. ‘this lateness is unacceptable’ he thought to himself as he walked angrily to meet up with her. “where have you been” he yelled “I have been trying to reach you all morning. What is wrong with you, young lady”“I’m so sorry director. I am actually inexcusable today. I promise it won’t happen again” “like hell it won’t” the director revolted “This is unacceptable. I have had just about enough of your indiscipline. I am taking you off the case”“what?!” Nena exclaimed, obviously surprised at the director’s rash decision. She understood he was angry but taking her off the case made no sense actually.. she had contributed immensely to the progress of this case up till this point, or at least, so she thought. Nevertheless, it made no sense taking her off the
Up in his office, maestro stood quietly by the side of window with a glass of rum in his hands, slowly turning the 1965 scotch whisky around the meniscus of the glass as he watched his staff work ardently in his drug production facility.They had been working harder these days to keep up with the high demand in the streets. A demand that aroused due to Nadia's to sudden disappearance. Ever she was apprehended a void was created in the market and maestro took the opportunity to fill in that void.there were no longer restrictions from the Elder's who normally would've rendered their objections by now. Apparently they had bigger things to worry about at times like this.Yes, times like this meant business was good for maestro but on the contrary, he did not feel good at a time like this. He was more worried about the danger that lay ahead now that he knew Nadia was about to slip up and expose his full working operation to the cops and to the whole world.He looked at all he had accomplis
The four horsemen had been a lifelong contract assassins that had worked for the BMA discreetly for years. They specialized in killings of high tier Targets . Maestro only contacted them on special occasions for special missions and this situation with Nadia Madinni definitely fell under that category.He couldn't think of a better time to call them than a time like this. Zeke who he had ordered to place the call had done exactly just that and sealed the deal with them.A man named Ivanovic had been the one to receive the call and transacted with him. Ideally, they were to pay their dues through the continental coin; a secret currency devised by the elders to aid the discretion of transactions for criminals in their community but due to his recent problems with the elders, maestro had ordered zeke to offer them payment in cryptocurrency.This new development was strange to the hearing of Ivanovic who initially protested at the proposal. He was afraid of getting into any trouble with
‘WE NEED TO TALK’ . Nena kept looking sternly at the message from Lucile on her phone. ‘ I had already sent her a photo of Dani, what could she possibly want this time’ she thought. She looked to director Gambo who obviously had no interest in what she had going on especially now that he had dismissed her and terminated her appointment on the task force.Moreover, he had more important things to worry about at the moment.The news about the interception of his team was devastating enough. At this point he was confused; this was a major setback for the maestro investigation. He walked with Jasper back into the interrogation room to further discuss their next plan of action after the unfortunate development. Nena tried to ignore the text from Lucile but then again, Lucile gave her a call instead. “goddamn it” Lucile exclaimed as she picked the call “Lucile dear, this is so not the right time for this. You should really call back later”.“oh no aunt, you should really listen to me th
On the Lagos - Badagry highway, Nena’s Aston martin sedan vehicle was cruising on 150mph as she sped back home to Dani’s apartment for no reason in particular, except from the sole fact of clearing things up and making sense of everything she had just learnt about her fiancée.‘no it can’t be’ she thought to herself. ‘all these can’t possibly be true’ she thought further ‘dani may have done some wrong and rough things in the past but not this. No this is too much. I need to get home and try to make some sense of all these’.She finally approached the apartment and parked her vehicle just outside.She rushed into the building and up the stairs. Into the room. There was no one home at the moment so she decided to use the opportunity of the privacy to do something she hadn’t had the time to do before; For the first time in the duration of her relationship with Dani, she decided to snoop among his things.She ransacked the room starting from his wardrobe. She brought out all the boxes s
Maestro retired to his apartment for the day, grateful for how the day had gone. The good news of Madinni’s execution had brought much delight to his heart. Now half of his problems were solved. All he had to do now was usurp the control of the distribution of product in her territory and still maintain order with the elders.He drove in his vehicle into the compound, pulled off his mask and stepped out of the vehicle with zeke by his side as they stepped into the apartment. The gatekeeper informed him that his fiancée was in the building and he immediately became nervous. He knew she had a spare key to the apartment but she wasn’t always fond of trooping in this regularly.Even if he was purportedly engaged to the woman, he wasn’t exactly comfortable with that especially now that he was about celebrating Madinni’s demise.He hurried up, thanking his stars that he was lucky enough to have removed his mask in his car.He was mostly fond of keeping it on these days, mostly because his
The company outside of maestro’s building were getting noisier and noisier by the minute but was soon put to silence the minute the director put up his megaphone to his mouth and spoke. The large sound from the speaker overwhelmed the atmosphere of the whole compound as he began saying “maestro, we know you are in there. You are heavily surrounded. You can step out now with your hands behind your head and we can make this whole process easy for the both of us”.Apparently, Nena had called Director Gambo when she stumbled on the ugly truth that her lover and fiancée was the infamous maestro they had been looking for. Although, she left that part about her relationship with him out when she was giving him the details of her discovery. Everything but that little bit of information.She originally just asked the director for backup to the house address and didn’t agree to say what for until the director forcefully insisted and she realized she had no choice but to give him something. “m
