“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

“From his agitation, I reasoned that he may get another agency to mishandle the matter and deal ruthlessly with the innocent Chief Accountant. Therefore, I played along.”Now, they listened attentively to him and at the end of his narration, Mr. Warfield asked.“How much are we talking about, please?”“I wish I knew. I asked him to pick the money because what he did was a financial crime.”“Did he pick it?”Mr. Kennedy and Bar. Brim asked anxiously at the same time.“No, he didn't, but I brought it along with me. I will ask my orderly to bring it, if I have my phone.”At once, Silas went for the phone and Mr. Warfield continued.“That is patriotic of you, Mr. Jobs. You have earned my respect.”Then, Bar. Fuller, who had been silent, spoke.“Thank you, Mr. Jobs, for redeeming the image of the EFCC in particular and the country at large. I don't have these details, but you displayed maturity in handling the matter.”Mr. Jobs smiled softly in acceptance of the accolades. Then, Mr. Kenned

“We agreed that he would be at the Residential Area last night to arrest the Chief Accountant. He actually came, but he informed me that there was an impediment and that I should appease you before you would approve his arrest.”“So, you wired fifty million Naira into his account, just to approve the arrest of an innocent citizen? Silas, get Hailey at once.”“It is noted, boss.”At the Reception.The Commissioner was relishing the ambiance of the fifteenth floor of the Blue Sea Oil and Gas Group. With over fifty million Naira in his account and possible promotion from the IGP for a good job, he had endless possibilities in his career as a police. Suddenly, his hallucinations were cut short when the door opened and Silas appeared. He adjusted himself in readiness to follow Silas. To his surprise, the ever unfriendly looking Silas was smiling broadly at him, and he attributed it to part of the good news that awaited him.“Mr. Bello, you would have carried me along in your mission to the

Now, the Commissioner and the General Manager argued about the forty million Naira transaction and the house concluded that the two should provide the money. Nevertheless, Mr. Angus never suspected his trusted driver, who was unschooled and innocent looking because he assumed that he delivered all the money diligently. Meanwhile, he was forty million Naira richer due to the feud between the two management staff members and the General Manager must bear the brunt. Likewise, Mr. Warfield continued, “Thank you all for your patience. Without you, today's meeting would not have been successful.”“You are welcome. Mr. Warfield.”Suddenly, Tom's phone rang and he was distracted. He looked at the caller, and it was from the reception. Then, he took permission and picked, “Hello, officer. How may I help you?”“Good day, Mr. Lucas. One Samuel is here. He said he is the EFCC boss' orderly.”“Yes. Kindly let him in.”“It is all right.”Now, Mr. Warfield proceeded.“One more thing on the Agenda. B
