“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. I am yet to hear from you.”“Hear f

“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

Then, he opened his mailbox to continue reading his numerous messages. After reading three messages, he dozed off and woke up late. Ideally, he should leave the Residential Area by 6:30 AM to report to work at 7:00 AM. That day, he was thirty minutes late. Nevertheless, the moment his driver drove out of his garage, one of the staff buses drove to the front of his car. He considered it a coincidence and did not give much thought to it. Then, Silas signaled to Evans, and he got into the convoy while he drove behind them. However, Mr. Angus was as free as the air. Mr. Warfield and his team members failed to understand that he had nothing to fear or anything that would make him to abstain from work. He was too busy with strategies on how to frustrate Mr. Owens and was unaware of the vehicle that was behind him until the end of their trip.At the Industrial ComplexAt 7:30 AM, The General Manager’s driver parked at his dedicated car park and Mr. Owens parked at his too and got off before

Before he could get off his seat, Silas arrived with the Inspector General of Police, Bar. Fuller and the EFCC Head. Although, Evans was unaware of their purpose of visit, but, because he was familiar with the EFCC Head and Bar. Fuller, he greeted them warmly and the IGP, who recognized him as the accused, gave him a warm handshake.“Good morning, Mr. Owens. I have heard so much about you.”After the handshake, Mr. Owens inquired with a smile.“I hope that what you heard about me is good?”They laughed softly and the IGP confirmed.“Certainly. If not, I wouldn't mention it.”“It's okay. That was on a lighter mood. It is my pleasure meeting you.”Then, James declared.“I will inform the GMD of your presence, right away.”“Please do.”Evans encouraged. When James informed Mr. Warfield of the presence of the visitors, he looked at the time, and it was five minutes to 8 AM, and he requested.“Kindly usher them in.”“It is noted, boss.”James said and walked back to his office.“You can co

Now, he was confused and unable to figure out the right thing to do. Afterward, Silas locked the door, and walked back to his seat and sat down, leaving only the General Manager standing. “Good morning, everyone.”He greeted with a visible anxiety. To his chagrin, no one responded to his greeting.“Kindly take your seat, Bruno.”The GMD said and signaled to the vacant seat beside Bar. Brim.“Thank you, Mr. Warfield.”He responded and took his seat. Nevertheless, he looked at the faces of the outsiders among them. He was familiar with the two – Mr. Jobs and the IGP, but wondered what must have brought them to the organization.'I can see why Mr. Jobs didn't pick my call. He submitted his phone at the gate.'He reasoned. Howbeit, Mr. Warfield declared the meeting open.“Gentlemen. I welcome you all to this meeting. Despite the short notice, you made yourselves available. I appreciate you for that.”“You are welcome, Mr. Warfield.”They responded in unison. Then, he proceeded.“Before w
