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

“Thank you, very much, Bar. Brim. Gentlemen, you can agree with me that it had been a fruitful day.”They nodded in admittance and waited anxiously for him to continue.“The management is pleased with the Nigerian branch of the organization and looked forward to this year. Today, the dream had finally come. Shall we give a round of applause to the Nigerian branch?”Everyone clapped joyfully. Evans, who was aware that he was a month younger than Bruno in the organization, was not hoping for anything, so he clapped cheerfully. The General Manager, clapped coldly because he was acquainted with the verdict. Then, the GMD continued, “It was a tedious task for the management to do the selection because the two longest serving staff members were employed on the same day but with different resumption dates.”At that moment, the General Manager's interest was piqued.'By stroke of serendipity, destiny may smile on me and my sins would be blotted out' he thought, and the GMD continued.“However

“Mom, take a look” Lillian pointed out when she saw her father on the television making a speech. Now, Sarah looked up from her phone and listened carefully to the speech. Then, she requested, “Kindly increase the volume of the television.” “Okay, mom.” Lillian agreed and picked up the remote control that was on the center table and did as her mother instructed. She smiled and listened with kin interest. “… I don't have much to say now because I did not see this coming. But I would like to appreciate the Management and the Board of our dear organization for counting me worthy of this task…” Without waiting to hear the complete story, she gladly shouted enthusiastically, “Wow! I knew it. We have the last laugh” before she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.To Lillian, it was a normal meeting of the organization which often take place.

At the General Manager's HouseAfter Moses' was settled, and Tony satiated with accomplishment, he had the problem of informing his wife of his encounter with Moses. He recalled their first night, and how she cried when he mentioned Bruno. Breaking such news to her would get her worked up, and remind her that she lived with an animal for several years. However, he had no choice but to make their meeting known to her.“What if she finds out on her own?” He reasoned, and braced up. That night, after they had their dinner, and ensured that the twins were settled in their room with Susan's mother, he broached the topic.“What!” Susan exclaimed, after listening to his narration.“It's unfortunate,” he added, and monitored her countenance. To his expectation, she was sad, but he could not decipher her reason for that. After a few seconds of awkward silence, she asked, “What is the boy doing currently?” Although, he was uncertain about her reasons for asking, but her tone expressed genuine co

The Next DayAfter the meeting of the previous day, Silas contacted Cyprian and Moses, and they were very excited to hear from the organization. Meanwhile, they promised to be available for a meeting at an agreed time. Nevertheless, they were nervous because they were unsure of what to expect. To their chagrin, when they arrived, Silas led them to the tenth floor, but to another office that had a strong security system. Instantly, Mr. Huntington gave Silas an inquiry look when he saw the Group Managing Director inscription on the lintel of the office. Likewise, Silas was expressionless, which was difficult for him to discern.“After you,” he announced after he opened the door, and held it for them to walk in.“Thank you, for this, Mr. Jack,” he appreciated, and they walked in. Soon, they were in an office that could be mistaken for the office of the President of a Nation. Apart from Tony, they saw two unfamiliar faces. All the same, they were encouraged by the welcoming smile on their

At the HotelAfter they collected, the drugs, they gave Silas their contacts, and returned to the hotel fulfilled. To the Hotel Manager's expectations, Moses was elated. Although, he could not meet his biological father, who he would have loved to kill, but he was happy that he met someone who succored him.“Ensure that you don't disappoint the doctor by taking your drugs as he prescribed. Did you get me?” Cyprian advised.“I got you, Sir,” he responded happily. When the manager noticed that, he teased, “Do you still wished to see your father?”He fixed his eyes on him, and waited for his response. Meanwhile, Moses furrowed his brow in annoyance, and answered, “I have seen my father.” Cyprian smiled happily and confirmed, “I love that. Let's wait for the results of the test by the doctor.”“Okay, boss. Permit me to ask, what was the reason for the test? Do I look sick?”Nevertheless, the question took Cyprian unawares, but he concealed it, “I think you are. Especially when he discover

Presently, Moses was eager to see his supposed father and unleash his fury on him. He watched the adults discuss, but smiled inwardly when he heard Silas mistook him for the Hotel Manager's son, and waited for feedback.“In the office?” Tony asked. He could not remember anyone with such a name or inviting someone to the office. Nevertheless, as a family man, who just hosted many relations during the Thanksgiving, he reasoned that the man and his son could be members of his extended family or Susan's, who needed assistance.“Come with them,” Tony responded, and Silas agreed. He turned and looked at the excited guests, and ordered, “Submit your phones and come with me.”“Noted Sir,” the guests complied while Silas turned to his order, who had joined them after parking the car, and instructed, “Get the shuttle bus.”“Okay, boss,” he responded, and walked briskly out of the office. In a short while, the team was in the General Manager's office. Likewise, Cyprian appreciated the respect th

“I hope this mail would get to him,” he murmured. To ensure that Moses was stable, he sent for him, and informed him of the progress that he had made so far. The understanding that someone was interested in his matter, cheered him up, and he was grateful, “I appreciate your efforts, sir.”“Don't mention. Let's wait for three working days, as the automatic message said. If we don't hear from him, we will have no choice, but to pay him a visit.”“It is all right, Sir. Thank you for your concern.”“You are welcome.”Afterward, Moses left, and returned to his work.Three Days Later.Now, the Manager was more anxious than Moses. Curiously, he wished to get to the bottom of the publication, which could be misleading if Tony had a child somewhere previously while the publication said that he just welcomed his first babies. Nevertheless, he got a response, and was glad at the progress, “At least, they responded,” he mumbled. Meanwhile, he was able to get the email address of the General Manag

“Wait. I need to get his approval,” the security guard informed. Now, Susan's colleagues were more in number. They were aware of her pregnancy, but never attributed it to the General Manager. Likewise, it was difficult for the GMD and his wife to get out of the reception, but Silas was able to make a way for them. Not only that, Cyril was also trapped in the crowd. He could not even get close to the security guards and explain himself.At the Hotel.Since the day Bruno left the company almost two years ago, he had suffered much humiliation. Despite the ejection from his house by Felix, and Ella subjecting him to queue up like her clients, before he could sleep with her, running into a transformed Cyril as a taxi driver, was the worst humiliation he had received so far. Nevertheless, after he discharged his passenger, he got the day's paper and returned to the hotel. He did not have the zeal to continue to work, so he took a break, to brood over the epiphany he had that day.“How can t

Cyril got to the General Manager's house in high spirit, and walked in. To his dismay, the main house was locked, and the three male domestic staff members were unaware of the good news. After the greetings, he inquired, “Has the boss left for work?”“No. He left the house last night with his family,” one of them explained.“I see,” he replied, and walked back to his car, and did not bother to discuss the delivery with them.“What must have happened to Mr. Angus? Is he a taxi driver? I doubt, but he looks tattered and emaciated,” he mulled over his encounter with his former as he drove to the Industrial Area.At the ClinicAfter Tony sent the message to the Group General Manager, he sent messages to his parents, and relations, before he settled down, and chatted happily with the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor had sent a message to his wife, and she could not contain her joy. Suddenly, the doctor's door opened, and his wife walked in. Likewise, she lit up the office with her compliment

At the Delivery RoomHowbeit, Susan was lying on the delivery bed, and was smiling happily. She could imagine how her husband, who had given up on being a father, would feel. “Hubby, it's a set of twins, boys,” Susan announced as soon as her husband walked in. Nevertheless, the excited Tony could not hold back at that point. He allowed the tears of joy that had gathered in his eyes to drop freely. Likewise, he walked to his wife and kissed her temple. Then, he appreciated, “Thank you for making me a father.” Likewise, Susan squeezed his hand, and responded, “Congratulations to us, my hero.”Subsequently, he walked to the babies' cots, and admired the cute babies, “Welcome my precious babies. I love you so much,” he assured, and held their tiny hands with his two hands at once. Presently, he was livelier, and had dried his tears. Then, he joyously took some shots of the babies with his phone.“Let's allow her to take a rest,” the doctor advised. Tony took another look at his wife, who

Likewise, Alice was excited, and summarized her task. She walked to the new house, and saw the work.“Wow!” She exclaimed, and ran back to the house. Uncle Emma was surprised to see her running back, and he inquired, “Why are you running back? Is the task too much for you?”“I wish to put on a pair of trousers,” she explained and ran into the house. She walked out shortly, after she had dressed in her jean trousers, and a pair of canvas. Then, Uncle Emma smiled with satisfaction when he realized that she was still humble and had not been influenced by the life on the campus.At the New BuildingWhile the work was going on, the youths, who were outside the gate, were disappointed. Although, Shane and Collins were not certain, but they believed that the person in charge was Oliver, but they could not defend it because everyone believed that he was dead. Now, Shane cast his mind on that night that they worked as security guards at the compound, and was ashamed of himself.“What is diffic
