2022-01-01 10:17:48“ Good evening Miss Nena” the receptionist called out as Nena passed, headed to her room . Hassan , the hotel receptionist had been giving out smiles and polite pleasantries at Nena since the day she had logged in the past weekend when she came into the city
“ how was your case today” hassan asked
“ it was exhausting. I just want to get in and have some rest”
“ok ma’am, here you go” Hassan said , stretching his arm and handling her the keycard to her room.
“ thank you hassan. Goodnight”
“you too ma’am. Do have a goodnight”.
Nena managed to make herself comfortable not so long after she entered the room . she had a lot on her mind but had also managed to make her way in and out of a good exhilarating shower. She now relaxed on her bed in her pajamas with a pen and notepad placed beside the laptop computer she had underneath her palms. She had just taken a minute to scoop a spoon from the bowl of cereal she had with her on the bed , eyes still fixed on the laptop screen.
A skype call came ringing on her screen. She was quickly irritated as the call came in , seeing that it was unanticipated and was about to interrupt her work.
She relaxed soon after realizing the call was from her client and cousin, Lucile Johnson.
“ hello dear” Nena started after accepting the call.
“ hello sis” Lucile replied “ did I catch you at a bad time”
“not at all dear” lied “ how are you doing”
“I’m okay” I actually called to ask you the same thing. With the way things were in court today, I hope you weren’t stressed out”
“ oh please dear, are you now trying to insult me. The case today was nothing compared to the ones I normally handle which have earned me the reputation I have now. Trust me , I’ll make sure that boy B.J or whatever spends the rest of his life behind bar. This is a very easy one I promise.”
“that wasn’t the reason I called you tonight sis. i actually wanted to take my mind of it for a little bit.”
“and you thought I was the best person to call for that?” nena asked sarcastically “ the prosecuting lawyer handling the case?”
Lucile laughed hard now.
“ well we can talk about that fiancé of yours you earlier told me about . I am itching to hear the gist of how it all happened. Tell me , how did it all start, how long ago, how was the proposal. Tell me everthing”
Nena was shocked at the topic of discussion Lucile was proposing. This was the last thing she imagined herself discussing at a time like this. For someone who was the victim of a rape, Lucile had not been taking the case as painstakingly seriously as she expected but for the sake to see where this discussion would lead, Nena indulged her.
“ well, there isn’t much to tell. His name is danny. Danny and I met over six months ago and I know you are going to say that was fast, I must admit , even me too but danny has been the best thing that happened to me over these past few months we’ve been together.”
“wow. You are really in love sister”
“ I guess I am. He is just so magical you know. Caring, Godfearing, financially sustainable and did I mention damn straight hot. The kind of things you would want in a dream man”
“oh wow sis. I must admit, I never really pegged you for a romantic. You have always been so serious about your work that sometimes I begin to wonder if there’ll be a man behind the picture. It seems this danny guy had got you really hooked . I’m so happy for you since”
“ thank you dear. I know it came as quite a shock. But I am definite he is the one. Besides , This is my mid thirties I’m not growing any younger.”
“True sis. But I do hope everything is going to be okay with you both. Is he not bothered you travelled all the way down here , leaving him alone in lagos. Are you okay with that yourself?”
“well that’s what I love most about him. His is so supportive of my work and understands that I’m a career woman so he has no problems with my travels. He was the one to even drop me off at the airport. So there really isn’t any problem on that part. Besides I would be going back to lagos soon “
“ really? What for”
“ there is a meeting I need to attend for another case I am working on but don’t worry I wont be more that two days over there and my assistant would be here to attend to the case while I’m gone”
“ok sis. I think I would have to go now. Please do not forget to send a picture of our soon to be inlaw. I need to see for myself”
“okay dear. Would do. Bye”
“bye dear”. Lucile’s face disappeared from the screen and the window nena was working with prior to the call, resurfaced.
Nena took another scoop from the bowl beside her as she now relaxed on the back rest of her bed. All these talks about her fiancé had suddenly gotten her in her feelings. She now desired to talk to him badly. She quickly picked up her mobile cell and dialed in the speed dial code . her phone began transmitting a call to the number that popped up registered as mi amor.
The recipient took quite a while to pick but Nena immediately took the phone to her ears as soon as he did “ hello mi amor”she said.

Back at the underground drug factory, maestro seemed to be having quite a lot of fun interrogating the man on the chair. He had even adopted a new method of interrogation besides the use of the bat club he originally started with. He had with him a gallon filled with gasoline and a light match on his hands. The man on the chair had been beaten up so badly , it was hard to tell if what he had atop his neck was his true face or some Halloween mask. His eyes were badly bruised so much that one of them couldn’t bear to lift its eyelids anymore. His lips were severed so much he could hardly speak; it was a wonder how he was expected to give out any speech with such a mouth let alone, a relevant information. Parts of his skin were already burnt severely . The damage level on this young mans body was an overkill. Maestro had outdone himself with this one.

Friday the thirteenth of October; six months earlier, it was no surprise that it had been raining heavily at that time of the year. Everyday came with an even heavier sequence of rainfall and thunderstorms. This particular day was no different . Light ray flashes of lightening thunderbolts had been seen traveling from North to South ranging from both the East and west. The rain had been trickling down the drainage pipes on the rooftops to hit hard on the interlocked floor at the St Monica catholic Cathedral at south west Bariga, Lagos.The cathedral was a long withed building of relatively tall heights . it covered several vast acres of the land and was mostly found to be silent especially on days like this where the roads had been flooded In the city.On this day , two men had decided to use the serenity of this building to their advantage and chose to meet discreetly by 8:00pm at the cathedral.

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.

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

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.

‘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.

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.

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.

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?
