Now, the petrified woman's boldness collapsed because she was not innocent of Aaron's unproven accusations, or she would have asked if he had any evidence to prove. Now, he faced the male speaker who was a dealer in local gin and asked.“You, what did he buy from you?”Meanwhile, the youths who continued with their works after they gained their freedom from the creditors had stopped their work and focused on him. They eagerly wished to hear his response.To their dismay, he was dumbstruck. Then, Mr. Aaron, who had no time to waste, merely glared at him, and turned to the workers. Likewise, he cheered them up before he encouraged.“Carry on, my sons. You are doing a good job.”Now, the jubilant youths responded.“Thank you, Mr. Aaron.”“You are welcome. During lunch, you can come over and get some yam tubers for your lunch.”Now, the local youths jumped up in jubilation and accepted the offer.“We will come. Thank you, sir.”Nevertheless, Callum who had been suppressing his laughter w

“What! How did they find out?”“I wish I know. We got to the site and met them harassing the youths.”“That is typical of a village. I'm certain that they must be numerous.”“You are right. But our in-law, the infamous Chief Judge, intimidated them as usual.”“Wow! Just as he intimidated the Chief Priest.”“You're right.”Subsequently, Callum intimated him of all that happened at the deserted compound, and Mr. Evans laughed ecstatically. Then, he concluded with.“Concerning the erection of a befitting structure at our in-law's place, I spoke with Frederick.”“That is good. Did he agree with the proposal?”“Yes, he agreed, but he suggested that we keep our wives out of it and let it come as a surprise to them. What do you think?”“That is good, but can we achieve that? Don't you think that they may find out that their father's land was being developed through other means?”“You are right.”“Presenting it to them as a surprise will be a good idea, but I would not have them accuse us wro

At the General Manager's Office.From the look and of things, Mr. Angus would not want that day to pass without achieving his aim. To ensure that he did not give Mr. Owens a breathing space, he gave the Commissioner of Police a call. Now, the excited Commissioner, who was thrilled with the monetary compensation he just got from him a few minutes ago, was surprised when the call got to him.“Why is he calling again?”He mumbled before picking his call.“Hello, General Manager. We just spoke.”“Hello, CP. Good day. Yes, we just spoke. Recall that yesterday, I said you have to hold on.”“Yes. After you were advised to use the EFCC.”“You are right. I am through with them, and it is your turn.”“I see. Are the plans still the same?”“Certainly. Ensure that you don't give him a fair hearing, and he must rot in jail.”“It is all right. We will pay him a visit tomorrow morning.”“Tomorrow morning? Why not this night?”“That is too sudden. Besides, we have other assignments before now.”“Othe

“I would love to be part of the meeting, if you permit me.”Mr. Warfield gladly accepted and responded.“Why not. I will be glad to have you.”“It is all right.”With Mr. Jobs' humility, and his volunteer to be at the peace talk, the GMD got an epiphany. So, he discussed with his team members.“Since the Head of the EFCC had volunteered to be part of the reconciliation meeting, I think it would be respectful to invite the IGP too.”“That is correct. His presence would make plenty of differences.”“It is okay.” Afterward, Mr. Warfield invited the Inspector General of Police. Despite the short notice, he agreed to be there. He was aware of the contribution of the company to the economy of the country, especially in the area of the employment of the youths. At 2PM Nigeria time and 4PM Saudi Arabia time, Mr. Warfield and his team were airborne to Nigeria. As expected, they would arrive after five hours.At the General Manager's Office.After he had fortified his deal with the Commissione

“Wow! The day had gone. I should be on my …”He hardly completed the sentence when his phone rang.“Who could this be?”He grumbled before he picked up his phone. Then, he sat upright before he jolted forward when he saw the caller.“The IG!”He exclaimed and punched on the receive switch.“Good evening, Sir.”He greeted nervously.“Good evening, Hallie. I wish to inform you that there is the need to beef up security at the Residential Area of the Blue Sea Oil and Gas Group and its environs. I have a meeting with the Chief Accountant tomorrow morning and I would not like anything to disrupt that.”Now, the IG paused and waited for him to comment, but he was mute. Then, he continued.“Hallie, are you there?”The Commissioner, who was lost in thought, shook his head, to assure himself that he was not dreaming, and responded.“Yes. I'm with you, boss.”“Good. Presently, he is inviolable, and I give my approval for his immunity. I will inform the EFCC Head. Ensure that no agency infringes

After the call, he turned on his ignition and looked at Tom, who was dumbfounded.“Are you surprised?”He asked. Tom shook his head in dismay and responded.“I can't believe that the General Manager is capable of such deceit.”“Anybody is capable of anything when the need arises.”“This is astonishing.”Afterward, they drove to the Residential Area and waited for his orderly and the soldiers. They were unfazed when they met numerous police men.At the General Manager's ApartmentAfter his meal, he returned to his room and locked the door to keep his wife away from his nefarious activities. Nevertheless, the wife was too busy with her life that she was not bothered with her husband's secrecy. At 6:30 PM, he got a call from the desperate Mr. Bello, who must not leave any stone unturned. Since they had an unfinished business, he picked the call with his head held high and inquired.“Hello, Commissioner. How is the work going?”“Good evening, Mr. Angus.

“Your suggestions are okay. I will give the General Manager a call right away.”His call woke the General Manager, who was at the first stage of his sleep, up. For a couple of weeks, he had never had a quality sleep, but he was not perturbed because he was convinced that he would have the last laugh. When he saw the caller, he sat up at once and greeted.“Hello, Commissioner. How is the work going?”“Good evening, Mr. Angus. The work is going fine.”“That is good. Where are you? Have you arrested the bastard?”“We are at the gate, but there is an impasse.”“What is the problem?”“The security men would not let us in.”“You don't need to let that bother you. Hold on.”“Okay. I will hold on.”Subsequently, the General Manager cut the call and dialed the number of the Security Officer at the gate, and he picked at once.“Good evening, boss. How may I be of help?”He ignored his greetings and went straight to the point.“The Commissioner of Police and his men are at the gate. Permit them

She inquired with concern. He ignored her and walked on. All the same, she walked after him and they got to the gate at once. Now, the janitor had opened the gate, and he gave Silas a forced smile. Then, the Commissioner got off the bus, walked to him and greeted.“Good evening, Mr. Angus.”“Nice to see you, Mr. Bello.”Now, his wife stood beside Silas and watched the two friends in crime do their coded chat. “Yes, Mr. Angus. I have come to inform you that the Inspector General of Police is interested in the safety of the lives and properties in this vicinity.”“Oh! That is thoughtful of him. I am most delighted to hear that. I suggest that you inform the Chief Accountant too.”At that point, Silas and his orderly thought otherwise.'This information could be passed through the phone.'“I got you, Mr. Angus. I will do that right away.”Mr. Bello informed and walked back to the bus at once.“Good night, madam.”“Good night, Mr. Jack.”Susan responded. Now, Silas got back to the bus an
