*** *** *** *** **** **** **** *** *** ***** **** ****Isabella's eyes began to search around for Ken in the reception as she came out of the elevator. She took out her phone from the jacket and dialed his number.“Where are you?” She spoke into the phone.“Outside the gate” a gruff voice which was not Ken’s answer, Isabella noticed.“Okay, I’m coming” She replied and ended the call. She dropped the phone back into the Jacket’s pocket and proceeded out of the building.She spotted Ken’s black Lexus parked behind a Police corolla as soon as she stepped out of the gate, she noticed that four uniformed police officers were in their car with a non uniformed person. The officer at the front seat beside the driver came out looking in her direction. She took out her phone and placed another call to Ken as she proceeded slowly towards his car.“Hey Madam” the police officer accosted her.“Hello, what can I do for you?” Isabel
*** 3.00pm ***Isabella could still feel the steel on her wrist, now she could sense that it was time to use it. She used the rope tied on the wrist to push it down and it cut her jacket and fell in between her palms, causing a small cut on her middle finger. She took a hold of the knife’s handle and carefully moved it up and down the rope, slicing it slowly. Her hands got free in a minute.She stretched her fingers before removing the covering on her mouth. The heavy breath she let out afterwards got Ken’s attention, he suspected that her mouth was free and made some noise to alert her in case it really was. She looked at him but ignored and continued to cut the rope off her leg. After the rope was off, she got up and stretched her legs. Ken’s noise was louder as he was fully aware that she was now free.She hid back her knife before she walked to him and took off the covering on his lips, and then she bent down to loose the ropes on his legs.“H
`He positioned himself behind the wall by the entrance of the room, planning to take by surprise anyone that enters first.The room was silent so the slow steps and breathings from the guys could be heard softly by Ken as they approached the room.Ken raised up the rod in anticipation as someone got behind the door and touched the handle. The person paused, Ken paused too and strained his ear to listen. “You…backyard” was all he heard. There was another pause again, footsteps could be heard walking fast away from the door. Then the handle was turned and the door opened.-The first thing that entered was the ray of light from the flashlight, then the person’s left leg and then the whole body. Ken landed the rod on the back of the man’s head and he went down immediately, his gun falling away, blood began to ooze out of his head. Ken quickly dropped the rod and picked the gun. He checked if it was loaded and gave a brief smile before bending to search the man
*********************************Reuben arrived at the black gate in his car with two police vans at his back exactly by four thirty pm.The police officer jumped off immediately and some rushed to Mr. Eddy’s store. Young guys who were smoking, drinking and eating at the store began to run helter-skelter to evade the cops’ arrest. The officers were able to capture quite a number of them.Some officers had already launched into the building. The compound seemed empty but there were traces of blood and signs of a fight. Three officers proceeded into the building carefully, they saw a body lying flat, lifeless on the floor. The body was turned upward and the police took note of the bullet sent into the chest.“Is he?” One officer spoke in a very low voice to his companion.The other replied in negative with a wave of hand.“I think the victim was previously tied up here,” another officer said in a low voice, picking up the ropes.
**** PRESENT ****‘Are you crazy?” A policeman stood at Eddy’s front shouting.Eddy looked up and found himself surrounded by four officers. ‘What?” He asked.“Are you Mr. Eddy, the owner of this store?”“Yes”“Your attention is needed at our station, '' the officer said as he brought the handcuffs forward.******* **** ******8am, Next morningKen stretched and yawned like a new born baby on the bed. The event of the day before had weakened him so much that he had slept for almost twelve hours, something he had not done in years.He sat up and pressed the button beside the bed and the room was brightened by the white bulb. Ken’s mouth opened in surprise as he looked around the large room. He had been too tired to notice how large and beautiful the room was when he was ushered in last night. He never imagined that there was such a well furnished room in the corporation’s quarters.A phone rang on the sto
***** ** ****** ********* ******* ****** ***** ***“So what is the Boss instruction to us now?” Brandon asked, joining Jake and Cynthia in the living room.“You’re to act as a backup for her in the Cocktail party, you step in case anything unexpected comes up. We’ll all be communicating through our devices, our ear pods should not leave our ear”“Okay, but how do we get to attend the party?” Brandon asked, taking his seat. “I believe there’ll be a ban of entry for uninvited guests”“Isabella would work out our invitation card, so you won’t encounter any problem entering into the hall”Jake stated the instructions before proceeding with the rest of the instructions to Cynthia. “Your job is to monitor the switch of the street’s cameras if and when we give the order. There’ll be a tracker on the Benz, you have to keep monitoring our location both with the cameras and the tracker. If you notice any strange movement or someone following us thr
****** **** *** **** **** *****Ben drove straight to the car park as he entered through the gate of Enny’s Orientation center. He parked in a good position as directed by the officials and spent a few more minutes in the car before opening the door and stepping out. He looked around for any sign of those he had an appointment with. His phone beeped.“In the garden” the text message from Don read. Ben locked the doors carefully and looked around to locate the garden basement. He put on his face cap and proceeded at once as he located the garden.“Mr. Ben” A voice spoke softly to him as he stepped into the basement. He turned to see the person.“Right there” the man said, pointing him to where He, Don and Benny were seated. Ben walked over to them immediately. He stood beside Don’s seat for a minute without saying anything or getting any word from his hosts.“What’s’ the plan tonight?” Don finally asked.“I should be asking you th
*******************7. 45 pm“Awesome, another round of applause for that rendition, I’ve not seen such a beautiful art performance for a long while” Steve Harvey said as the crowd reacted with another thunderous applause.“Well, while that rendition was ongoing, some very great personalities walked into the venue” Steve continued“Very great individuals to us and to the nation at large. First of all, I'd like to recognize our dear Commissioner of Technology, Dr. Murphy Max” the guests responded with a thunderous applause as Murphy Max sat up and waved at the crowd.“Also with us this night is the bride of the most reverent celebrant, Jane Peller” Steve continued. A lady in her late forties who had just joined Alfred and Ben on the table got up and waved also.“With that said, we’ll move to another set of…” Steve suddenly whistled as he beheld the beauty of the couple coming into the hall. The audience also followed his gaze and
“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
