Now, the news of the explosive had spread among the two thousand uninvited guests. Nevertheless, both patronizers and the gamblers at the resort were not left out. The staff members who were hiding in the underground heard the warning too and ran out, scrambling to any escape routes. Now, the chanting increased and was heard in different directions.“Run for your lives. Explosive,” they shouted on top of their voices.Meanwhile, the Police Squad who were at the scene to maintain law and order retreated at once with their vehicles, when they heard 'explosive'. It was the same story with the media crew, who could not pan their cameras. They dismantled their tripod stands and headed for the hills. Due to the turbulence, there was a grid lock on the major road which made the movement of vehicles impossible because some motorists ran off their vehicles shambolically leaving their ignitions on. The pedestrians, who were more interested in fleeing the arena, were reckless about traffic rules

At The Tourist Center.After Phil announced that ‘we are home’, Denise, who expected him to get off the car, turned and looked at him and observed that his eyes were moist. He was moved to see a beggar tearing up and had the compassion to help.“What is the matter with you, young man?”Phil noticed the tears too and was willing to help, so he waited for his response. Likewise, Jude allowed the tears to drop before he spoke.“I am starving. I ate last yesterday morning,” After he made his problem known, there was a pin drop silence for a few seconds before Denise spoke, “Take us to the Tourist Center.” He ordered after turning to the driver.“All right, Young Master.”Even though Jude was depressed, he was attentive enough to hear the driver address him as the Young Master. He stole a glance at him and mulled over his discovery.'Are they not beggars? If not, who are they?'Soon, he found himself in a place he never imagined existed, in Dover. A place with an unpolluted air, and the am

At The Tourist CenterAfter Denise and his team drove off, Robin took Jude to one of the single rooms and informed, “This is your room for now. Make yourself comfortable.”“Thank you for this, sir.”“Do not mention. Do you want your dinner to be served here, or would you have it at the restaurant?”Jude, who was not exposed to such a dignified life, looked at him for a while before he made up his mind, “I will prefer here.”“It is all right. That is the menu list on the table. Let me have your order at once.”He looked at the menu and quickly placed his order, and volunteered, “I can pick it by myself if you permit me.”“Oh! Never mind. I will be back before you know it,” the Security Officer said and left with the order. For three years, Jude had not lived in a house nor slept on a bed. That night, he would not only sleep in a room and on a bed, but in a Five Star Tourist Center. The kind of cars that he saw at the car park revealed the caliber of guests that lodged at the center. “

Denise’s and Phil’s POVAfter they had their meeting at Phil’s office on Thursday afternoon, they mapped out a plan on how to annihilate Stephen. After brainstorming, they came to a consensus that they had to visit the island that was a home to the indigent members of the society incognito. When Denise’s late father, Mr. William Bailey, acquired the island from the government many years ago, he was faced with the problem of displacing them. In his benevolence, he reserved a portion for them, which they had occupied until that day. By way of appreciation, they ensured that the Tourist Center was free from any form of attack from any quarter, and they had been enjoying that bilateral relationship. That explained why Jude had never operated in that environment. After work, they disguised as buskers and beggars and got to the island. They were dressed shabbily and flaunted five hundred notes. They tried as much as possible to adapt temporarily to the unkempt environment by ignoring the

They got off the vehicle, picked their backpacks and Denise handed the car key over to the security, who did as he was instructed and drove off immediately. They walked along with other comrades who were heading to the resort. As planned, over one thousand comrades came out to get their money and were chanting:“Give us our money.”“We need our money.”At that point, Denise and Phil mixed up with the angry indigents and raised their voices too.“The owner of this resort is a thief. He had stolen our money.”“He must provide our money. We will not leave until he provides the money.”Now, the Resort was in disarray, it was easy for them to move about and mounted their bombs in strategic areas and waited for detonation. After they mounted their last explosive which targeted the underground, they walked back to join other comrades and to warn them to vacate the environment based on their father’s instruction that there should be no loss of life. At that point, they ran into Jude Addy, who

At The Government Hospital.Mr. Bailey gave Phil a call to inform him that he was heading to the hospital.“All right, Denise, I am a few meters to the hospital. See you when you come.”“Okay.”Soon, they were at the hospital. The security man who Nichole spoke with concerning their coming walked up to them and greeted.“Good morning, Young Masters. How can I help you?”“Good morning, Officer. Mrs. Nichole Bailey sent us.”“Oh! I see. Your mother told me about your visit.”“Thank you, officer. Yes, she told us that she would talk to you. Are we free to go into her office?”“Sure, you can. Come with me.”He walked them to Nichole’s office and watched them open the door before he walked back to his duty post.“All right, I will leave you to search for the document.”“Thank you, officer.”They looked at each other and smiled when they heard the security man say ‘search for the document’. Since it was a small office, installing the two security cameras did not take time. When they were do

At Denise’s Apartment“Dad, Uncle, welcome back.”Daniel shouted when he saw his father and uncle walking in. He rushed to them and gave them hugs one after the other. When Denise disengaged him from the hug, he began to imagine the day his baby would do the same thing to him when he returned from work. Then, he looked at his pregnant wife and smiled in satisfaction.“Welcome back, hubby,” Olivia greeted.(Peck)“Thank you. I promised you that I would be back before noon. Here I am,” Denise said, and took his seat beside his wife.“Yes. You kept to your words. Thank you for that.”“It is my pleasure.”Freya welcomed her husband before she broached the news that Denise and her husband tried to keep away from her.“Denise.”“Yes, big sister.”“Did you watch the news yesterday? Did you see how karma had caught up with Uncle Stephen?”“Yes. I saw it. That will teach him how to respect other people’s freedom.”“You have said it all.”“I learned that the government gave him some money to gi

“How did it go at the office today?”He asked before they sat down on the couch. Then, Lorene gave a superficial answer.“Nothing much. We will continue on Monday.”She gave him a keen look which he mistook for a suspicious look and that made him to fidget because a sinner will always run even if no one is chasing him. Then she requested, “Tell me, how did you spend your day without me?” Now, Stephen tried to change the tensed atmosphere to a lively one and joked. He gave her the same response she gave to him a while ago“Nothing much. We will continue on Monday.”Although, it was a joke, but he was honest because he had agreed with Evelyn to meet on Monday for lunch. Lorene laughed softly, and he laughed too before she said.“Wow! That is funny.”They laughed happily. And to distract her further, he volunteered to serve her some breakfast.“Let me serve your breakfast.”“Oh! I don’t mind. Thank you. Let me change,” She said, and got up from the chair and began to walk to the room wh

Wednesday – At the Government Hospital, The Superior could not reach out to Evelyn after trying her number several times the previous day. Lorene, who would have furnished him with the information of her whereabouts, was still in danger. So, he had fewer hands as three of his staff members were off-duty. That day, he had to adjust his roaster to be able to have more hands. Then, Zoey had resumed for the day and was shuttling between her office and Nichole’s. The janitor, who believed that she was assisting Nichole, was of great assistance. “Thank you. What is your name?”Zoey asked the janitor, whom she had taken delight in after working with her for two days.“My name is Rachael Justin, Mrs. Bailey.”“What a nice name? You have been very helpful. Thank you.”“That is the least I can do to cover up for Mrs. Bailey.”“Oh! That is good. I will visit the emergency later to see Lorene.”Rachael, the twenty-year-old janitor, pushed her bottom lip forward in disdain and asked, “Do you rea

He may not be able to resolve other issues in his life, but Cassandra would not add to his problem. Then, he called the Personnel Manager at once. He picked and greeted.“Good day, boss. How may I help you?”“Good day. Transfer Eric to my office and send Cassandra to take over from Eric with immediate effect.”“It is noted, boss.”(Cut)At Stephen’s ApartmentAfter the meeting with the Patriarch and the family heads, he boarded a taxi to Lorene’s house, which was at the Barrack’s Road. To his chagrin, she was not at home. He looked at the time, it was 1:30 pm.“Where could she be? I know that she is on AM Shift.”Now, he rested his head on her door for a few seconds before he gave her a call again, but as usual, she did not pick. With a heavy heart, he left for his house. Then, he sent a message to the barrister requesting that he would make the check for the compensation available.“You are free. I will be in my office by 3 pm.”“All right. See you.”At 2:30 pm, he boarded a taxi to

He asked anxiously. Zoey, who was breathing heavily, could only summarize her complaint with a sentence.“She attacked me, I pushed her away to defend myself, and she slumped.”Dr. Caesar, who was about settling down for the day’s job, was as confused as a chameleon. He gave her a perplexed look while she stood in front of his desk waiting for his response. Then he managed to ask.“Who is ‘she’?”Then, it occurred to Zoey that the Superior was not aware of the incident before she gave a detailed explanation of the incident. Dr. Caesar gave her a cursory response as though nothing happened while he concentrated on his work.“Go back to your office and continue with your work.”When Nichole addressed Lorene and Evelyn as hawks and poachers, she had her reasons. They have attempted ceaselessly to poach the superior away from his wife, but failed. When he dismissed Zoey and concentrated on his work, he felt that Lorene deserved what she got. She returned to Nichole’s office and met a tidy

The facinorous and pretentious Stephen paused and looked at the lawyer to read his countenance, but it was unreadable. Then he proceeded and feigned a sob.“Please, I am pleading, join me to plead with Arthur not to exact vengeance on me. You can see my dilemma. I know I have erred, but, let him spare me this time. I promise I will not be incautious again.”Now, some family heads believed him and had compassion on him, while some refused to take his apology that was not good enough for them, as they turned up their noses at him. Then, the family head of Oscar, who was not happy with how he abducted Zoey, felt it was time to strike, and spoke.“Stephen, you promised you will not be incautious again; incautious over what? Is it the kidnapping of our wives or attempting to sow seeds of discordance in our families?”Such an incisive speech dug up Stephen's iniquities, which the family heads were about to forget. They became infuriated and shouted on top of their voices.“We will not plead

Now, Brown was at the barracks at 7 am because of the meeting. As the head of his family, he knew what to expect from the other family heads, but he was prepared for them.“Good morning to you, our Patriarch.”“Good morning, Brown. How are you?”“As you can see, I am good. What about you?”“I could not catch a sleep last night because of today’s meeting.”“It is expected. We cannot run away from our responsibilities.”“You are right. If those ahead of us had run away from theirs, who knows where we would have been by now.”“You are right.”Then, the scumbag, Stephen, walked in and greeted, “Good morning, our Patriarch. Good morning, my family head.”The two elders looked at him searchingly. They did not bother to respond to his greeting nor glimpse at him. The Patriarch ordered without looking at his face.“Wait in the hall.”“Thank you, our Patriarch,” The momentarily repentant Stephen said, and walked to the hall in the courtyard and took his seat. He watched the family heads trickl

Denise paused and looked at her innocent face without responding, but she continued, “Are you still mad at me?”“Eat your food first.” Denise responded and kept feeding her. She took two more spoons and stopped and said in between sobs, “I am okay. Thank you.”Unfortunately, Denise lacked how to respond to the situation; he was angry with the woman that he must save her life.‘I have to concentrate on saving her life first. I can get angry later.’ He advised himself and smiled. He scooped the food and then urged her.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you are okay. Just take more spoons, and you will be okay.” Olivia saw it as an opportunity to strike a bargain with her husband, and she quickly asked, “Answer me. Are you still mad at me?”Denise smiled and asked her too, “Can I ever be mad at my beautiful Angel?”(Peck)She gave a dampened smile as she wiped the teardrops that tickled down her cheeks with the back of her hand. Denise, who was emotional at that point, dropped the plate and th

“I hope she is not angry with me for taking long in contacting her?”Now, he gave her a call for the second time. The phone rang several times, but she refused to pick.“She must have gone to sleep,” he concluded, and slept off too.At the Tourist Center.The Security Officer was happy with the changes he saw in Jude’s composure. His youthfulness radiated as he was constantly happy. The moist that usually gathered in his eyes whenever he wanted to speak was no longer there. He enjoyed making music with his piano than watching the television. When the Security Officer got to his room that afternoon for his lunch, he observed that he spoke freely with him; more like a relation than a stranger.“How is your day going, Jude?”He smiled and paused from the keyboard before responding.“My day is going on well, Sir. And you?”“Fine. Your lunch is here.”“Okay, thank you, Sir. How about the boss?”“The boss is good. He sent his love.”“Oh! I wish I will meet him soon.”“Yea! You will meet him

Mrs. Felix said when Lorene walked out of the Chairman’s office. To her surprise, she did not respond rather, she walked on like a disappointed child. The clerks noticed the same attitude. She got to the car park, got into the car and drove to the gate. She got off the car, picked her phone and drove away. The Security men were surprised to see a woman who was raging a few minutes ago walking solemnly to their office to pick her phone.‘What must have happened? Who is actually the Chairman of the Bailey International Conglomerates?’ She mulled over, and drove. Howbeit, she never considered putting a call across to Stephen, neither was she aware that she narrowly escaped the police arrest. Now, Denise had sent for the Security Officer who drove to the Admin Block after Lorene drove off.“You called me, boss.”“Yes. Why did you call the cop on that woman?”“I did not call the cop, they just came.”“How? What do you mean by they just came?" Denise asked, and furrowed his brow. Incidental
