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. She was not aware that her father was sacked, and therefore, it was not strange to her.“Hurry, Lillian. We will give your dad a treat” Sarah ord
