** 30 Mins later **“Hmmmn…..” Cera laughed somehow bitterly, tapping his feet on the ground as he faced the TV screen reporting breaking news. The overrated Vlasdislav Khan had just led his men into disaster. Seven police officers including Billy and the foreigner Cole had been confirmed dead already.Billy was unlucky to have one of the first set of bullet spray right into his stomach, another on ht his forehead as he dropped on one knew from the impact of the one that entered his stomach, and he died instantly. Cole who was at the opened entrance could not escape death also, not less than four bullets pierced into his body in three seconds.The others were hit by bullets in several parts of the body. Vlasdislav Khan had also been lucky; he was hit by two bullets. The first one went into his laps while the second only scratched the left side of his belly. He escaped death but was badly injured.Reporters claimed th“Hey! Stop” he commanded the driver. “Everyone get out of the car.“I can’t stop here, it could cause an accident” the confused driver replied panicking Bobby. “We can stop when we’re close to the ring road”“You know what, just park here,” Bobby said, pointing at a space some meters away from a mall where signboards of no parking were placed. “We can’t go that far”“There’s….” The driver tried to argue again.“The bomb in this car would explode in 50 seconds,” Bobby said, glancing at his wristwatch. The driver quickly obeyed on hearing the last statement. The three officers in the car jumped out immediately and tried to stop other cars and passersby from coming close.They stared at the car in awe for the next two minutes, nothing happened. Other cars coming behind had passed already, some turned back to run while some waited at a far distance from the car. The security officials of the mall had also come outside to see but the
********* ****** *********“Damn” Bobby cursed as the driver of his car blared the car horn. The Red Range Rover was blocking the road just a few meters before their destination.The car had made a careless u – turn and almost caused an accident, they expected that it would drive off as soon as it turned but the driver halted in the middle of the road, obstructing cars from passing on the lanes. What had saved her from the wrath of the police was a “L” tag behind the car.“How can someone park a car on the road like that?” Bryan barked angrily. “Are there no road safety officials in this estate?”“There are” Brandon answered him, “But they stay at specific points and moreover the driver is a learner” “A learner should not hit a busy road” Bryan barked.“This place is not a busy road, we are in an estate, there’s only one car beside us” Bobby said, staring at the Lexus Jeep beside them. The driver was a middle aged man dressed in an I
*****************************Another bullet hit Isabella’s back as she made her way to enter the police van. She threw a grenade in Bobby’s direction to distract him before starting the engine.The van was driven off as Bobby jumped down from the Sonata and it blazed off in flames.He felt as if his legs were broken as he landed in pain, he still managed to turn back to see the direction that Isabella was taking. He laid flat on the floor as sounds of police sirens drew closer, his phone rang.“The direction has changed, they’re on the way to the city mall” a voice came through.Bobby was too weak to respond; he closed his eyes and turned his head to the left to spit out first. He opened his eyes a minute later to find Helen standing by his side.“Are you okay sir?” She asked with concern in her voice“Yes” He said, only audible to himself. Other officers came down from their vehicles to check the injured ones. A call orderi
**** ****** ****** ****** ***Jake could not hide his astonishment at the Excellency of Isabella’s edifice. Things in the house were either controlled by Isabella’s voice or just a simple touch from her. From the gate of the house to the car park and the doors, they all responded to a simple whistle or a word.Her medical lab was also well equipped with equipment, someone who did not know her would mistake her for a real medical doctor but a close look at the equipment and drug neatly arranged on the shelves suggested that the lab was only meant for treating injuries, both simple and deadly ones.“Help me get that cylinder” Isabella’s voice jolted him. He turned back to see her pointing to a cylinder on the retorts stand. “There’s a napkin there for you to hold it”Jake picked up the hot cylinder with the napkin on his hand and proceeded towards Isabella to hand it over. Cynthia lay on the bed unclad except for her pants and Bra as Isabella cleaned th
******** ******** ***********03. 01. 2031Cynthia Wilmer was declared wanted by the head of the police himself on national TV very early in the morning. Before seven thirty am, postal and handbills carrying her picture and details had been spread around the nation, a price tag for anyone with useful information was also placed on the bills.News of Khan’s defeat and abduction had also been dispersed within and outside the nation. Everyone was on the lookout for Cynthia Wilmer, who was possibly the same person as Kate Freddie.The Russian Authority did not believe it when rumors of Khan’s defeat first got to them the day before. Various news media in the Russian media had carried it but there was no reliable source yet. They immediately made contact with the US force but the news was denied until that morning when the superintendent confirmed in it an interview with the press.“I don’t think the Boss has heard this” Jake said to Brandon as they listened
*** *** **** ****11. 01. 2031Their bus got to Oakland, California at exactly five minutes past ten in the night and they drove into their lodge by fifteen minutes past ten. Their arrival attracted a lot of attention from people around the house. The house had been abandoned for over two years.“Hey! What the hell are you looking for here?” A security officer patrolling the community drove in after them as they drove in through the old rusted gate.Isabella was the first to come out of the bus and walked back to the gate to attend to the man, but she was helpless as she couldn’t understand the man's British accent until Brandon came around.“Who the hell are you?” the man asked again in his British accent.“We came on a short business trip,” Brandon answered. “This property has been sold to us”“Who is the vendor?”“Where are the house and the land documents?” Brandon turned to Isabella to ask.“Is that all
****** **** ***** ******* Yale’s University **“Cynthia Wilmer was a student of this school truly” the secretary began her well prepared explanation to the officers. “She was admitted in 2023 and she actually dropped out in her mid – year courses in 2025, since then she has not return to collect her mid – courses result nor return for re – admission”“Is that all you’ve got for us?” Bobby stared at her awkwardly as he asked.“That’s all I think you may need,” The secretary replied.Bobby tried his best not to let out a hiss, but he was obviously pissed off by the lady as she could only dig out such little information after delaying their investigation for more than a week. “Tell or show us all you’ve got, let us be the ones to pick what we need”“Okay, no problem,” The secretary said and looked at the paper. She cleared her throat before she began to mention points.“She was a student of the Psychology department, her matric
** Present **‘Thank you” She said with a smile and took a sip of the wine. Cynthia walked away.Brandon came in a few minutes later, he was sweating and looked dusty, and the winter breeze had not been nice on him.“Good day Boss” He greeted as he dropped a bag carefully in front of Isabella, beside the table where she had her gadgets.“What do we have here?” Isabella bent to open the bag.“I got all you requested for except “Walther PPK” revolver” Brandon answeredIsabella hissed. “I still have one with me I can use though” She closed the bag. “You can take it in” Jake walked back into the common room and met Brandon, he tapped him on the shoulder. “How far?”“I’m cool,” Brandon replied as he dragged the bag away.“What’s this Boss?” Jake expressed surprise on a look at the table where Isabella was working. He was amazed at the speed she used to convert the bought devices to her own manufactured ones.
“My father actually wants me here. I’m his only daughter and he would really wants me to explore the dynamics of my career” Isabella said“Oh! I see” Reuben rolled his eyes, “But these projects” Reuben said, lifting up her resume ... “Did you supervise them on your own or you partnered with some one to carry out these projects”“On the contrary sir, I actually did all the projects myself ...” Isabella said, “I still have the portfolios with me”“Oh! Then I need to compliment you. You did a very good job here” Reuben exclaimed, staring deeply into her eyes.“My awesome pleasure sir” She flashed her teeth in appreciation revealing her arranged set of white teeth.“But we have a very little problem, the vacancies are shut for now” Reuben stated flatly, trying to hand her files back to her. “The only thing I can do now is to tell you to check back when another slot might be opened.Isabella kept mute, not saying anything for a minute. She looked at the file with Reuben as she stared at hi
********She hissed again as she saw herself in the mirror, she bent to place her makeup disguise kits in front of the mirror when she saw herself more clearly. She chuckled at the sight of head, so bald. She picked up one of her kits also, this wasn’t meant for her alone but for the guys to also change their looks most times. There was another small bag with her, not for make up kits tho but for other disguise materials like their artificial beards, masks and the tinted face tan.Bran walked into the living room after he was done with his chores, he met Jake standing up as he stretched himself.“Are you done typing your mail?” Bran asked, motioning forward towards him.“Yeap, I’d check it back when we’re done from the store. We would need to go pick one or two” Jake answered, dragging the chair back for him to move.“Are we going now?” Bran asked, not feeling cool with the idea.“Sure, since we’re not doing anything again ?”“How about we just hold on and see if they’d reply to you b
“She is Anita Wood from the Alex Wood Inc.” Smith replied,“Do you know her if you see her?”“No sir, I really didn’t have a clear glimpse of her face when I saw her. So I can’t describe her very well”“No now, since you said she want to partner with your firm then you really should be able to describe her very well” Damien noted,“She was actually a friend to the deceased son, so we never really had any interaction together and Ben gave her access to his father straight up” Smith said,“Shit! This must have been well planned and the man in turn now is dead” Steve added, shaking his head.“We really have to get in touch with ken so as to know the result of the research and the tracking he made” Damien said,“Now back to the event day ... you were seated next to the celebrant himself right immediately his Son stood up”“Yes”“So, you never noticed any reaction with him”“Not really sir, like you know it was his birthday so he actually was happy and joyous through out”“And you were the
The president also promised to work with them closely as someone experienced in the field and to see that they use all of their might to tackle this group operation and to see that every thing needed is provided.Amidst everything the president eventually encouraged them for their job and even thanked them for the reports they had come up with so far and to ensure that their mission should not tarry for long.Reuben came into his office not long ago and settled down when he received an alarm that someone was duly waiting to see him...“But you know the operations here, no visitors during weekends” He answered,“Yes sir, but she said you scheduled her for today” the receptionist replied,“She said I did?” Reuben asked, trying to remember if he truly scheduled an appointment with anyone.“Yes sir”“What's her name again?” “Emily Douglas”“Ohh!” Reuben sniffed, the name sounding familiar. He eventually remembered, in the new Resume . But he could not remember sending her aby invite or s
*** **** *****Brandon, Cynthia and Jake sat I the floor while Isabella sat on the chair at the dining chair, they had to cha nge plans. Jake, Cynthia and Brandon where to go down to Singapore while Isabella would stay right there in California and solicit for the Surveillance Programmers job. She had told and taught them what they are to do, the strategies and all that they are used to get the monies from Richard Smiths account.Isabella was ready for the worst, she would go to the Surveillance Corps head quarters set to face Ken and in case the cops, she was very certain her all her data would have been submitted to the police by Ken but still they would never be able to link the murder to her.“You guys would face any damn consequence and pay for your silly act” She yelled, warning them. “So if you choose to pick any silly gadgets or go on any dates or clubs, be sure that you are left alone and I won’t come to step in for any of you surely”** “*** **** *** *****“Fuck Bella, Stop”
“Nah, it's nothing really. I saw their attachment on your cloth this morning”“Oh! And you sighted it so fast?”“I’ve kind of seen that attachment on tv before, so I could tell it when I see it”“Oh, Truly I work in the head office, I'm just a regional staff member, we work on shift most of the time” He said, proceeding to the living room where all of them were seated.“So how about these vacancies you guys need? Do you still need some people?” Isabella asked,“I’d just have to confirm that though we’ve only gotten three people to work with us now and it’s led by Kenneth Maxwell? You should have heard about him?” He asked, pausing for her to come over.“Sure. I heard he’s this technical genius”“Yeah he is though, but he’s not capable of handling the breaking in the transmission currently” Max replied,“So how about you? You could go for the post now or is it not something you can do?” Isabella asked, staring seductively at him.Max giggled as he stared at her catching her flirty move
“But they might be able to track our server’s address and even the account we’d be using”Isabella chuckled at his last statement, surprised that he still doesn’t get the gist “Alright, when we hacked the surveillance. Were they able to navigate through our server?”“Shit” Jake cursed, he had not thought that they could possibly hide their server like they did to the surveillance, “But if I may ask, they would still know that we messed with the account. I mean they would get a notification and then ban our account”“Then we just have to ensure that we do it discreetly without them being aware.Jake frowned still, not still getting what she was saying.“Alright, don’t worry. I would sort it myself” Isabella muttered, seeing that her explanation only got Jake confused the more.Jake gave a deep sigh, “Alright then, I’d learn it from you”“But you would still have to search his bank accounts” She said, getting up from the chair she sat on. She remembered something and turned back“Jake,
“Which chemical are you talking about?”“It has been the gang weapon for a very long time. The first time, they used it on some officers using it to hypnotize them after hijacking their car, they stole their uniforms and they drove the car to the point of operation and killed their target. In their second operation, it was the same thing using it to put some people into sleep and then killing the mayor of the city”“And now they have used it here again?”“Yes sir, the reports and data we got today from the lab is the same as the one the other city which they were used sub mitted”“Wow! And this looks like the substance found also in other countries' investigations?” Damien asked, “I’m beginning to think they are the same”“Oh! But did those countries find another chemical that was used ?” Damien asked, getting his phone. Steve brought his phone out too. “I heard the news of the murder just on the news this morning” Damien said, “But I really wasn’t paying attention to it”“Yeap, ther
Isabella jerked up from her bed and changed into her track suit, as she began to stretch her body***************Ken stepped on his brakes as he brought the car to a halt, turning off the engine in front of the old rickety gate, he opened the driver’s door as he brought his left leg outside, still seated in his car. He began operating his phone as Eddy’s call came in.“Are you almost there now sir?” Eddy asked, panting heavily.“Sure, but I’m really not with her yet. I was about entering when you called, I hope everything goes out as planned” Ken answered, taking a deep breath.They spoke for a while before the call disconnected, probably a network issue Ken guessed. He eventually got down from his car as he straightened up his clothes trying to look as smart as possible, he looked around him to spot the environment very well and when he saw that the passerby really didn’t care about him or his operation, he shut the door proceeding into the
