 Located on the ground floor of the garage floor , the underground vault was placed at the far east end of the building , left to be controlled by a circuit board that was placed on the wall. The staff lady with the wrench who had been working over there earlier when the NDLEA agents were around, now returned to her post but this time, strangely she wasn’t there to work as ususal. She dropped her wrench on the vehicle that was parked in the corner and went straight the aesthetic looking circuit board that was placed on the wall. . she reached there and began smiling to herself as she thought of the ludicrous explanation she had given to the agent who asked her what the circuit board was exactly functioning for. ‘OBD stabilizer my ass she thought to herself as the length of her grew wider. She reached for her pockets and brought out a walking talkie and began speaking to it. “this is fox five at garage station 2. All ready to open vault. Aw

Deep into the darkness of the road, maestro’s land cruiser SUV had been dashing through the night in the company of his convoy. Maestro was headed for another meeting with the elders. He had called for their attention once again. The chaos that were now befalling him and his business had turned him to be very uncomfortable. Most of them had been coming from things that had no control over but the elders do. They could stop being lenient with Nadia and call her to order so he can avoid a territorial war. Well it seemed like they were way past that now ‘this war can longer be avoided’ maestro thought to himself.Maestro realised that the vehicle was now running slowly. Seemed to him like they had arrived their destination, well at least, so he thought.The deceleration of the vehicle had progressed consecutively till it finally halted to a stop. “what happened. We aren’t there yet” maestro questioned , now realising they had not stoppe

The convoy of vehicles arrived at the Hotel de Continental , or as the crime lords called it – the continental ground. This was where the elders had created to settle the business disputes amongst criminals in the city. The building where they had their last meeting with Nadia and maestro that didn’t end so well. The Building was located in a five hectare compound filled with low cut grasses.. the passageway into the building was a 15 meters tarred road with rails on both sides that ran with it down to the building entrance. The building was three story landscape and had tinted glasses strategically placed all over the whit painted building walls. Maestro and his crew had walked down the passageway down to the entrance where they were met by the guards who stopped and required them to check in their weapons. ‘NO WEAPONS ON CONTINENTAL GROUND’ a big sign read boldly above the door. It was bold enough for any well sighted person to read so the guards need no explanatio

The fact that BJ had waited in the stand for questioning by his own lawyer in the courtroom had been challenging enough for him to handle. The bizarre situation was one he knew was possible but never anticipated he would be in.He had now immersed himself in the comfort of the silence that ensued right after the lawyer had dismissed his questioning.“no further questions your honour” the words he just heard his lawyer , Barrister Williams speak which set down a soothing trail of calm down his spine. ‘finally’ he thought ‘ this nightmare is over’ he was on the watch of the for the judge’s lips to move and give a final response to dismiss him from the stand. However the judge got to disappoint him with his response “does the prosecution wish to examine” he said. The nervousness that once glittered in BJ’s eyes once before back when he was first called out now resurfaced once again. 

Uphill the mountains of the city, above a misty soaked atmosphere that aroused as a result of the morning dew. Maestro waited in his usual black leather jacket and mask on, with zeke standing by his side, both enjoying the humid wetness of the dew on their skin. There were two other black vans vaguely seen waiting behind them with two heavily armed guards each standing by their side. The men were all black suited wielding tech 9 Machine guns in their arms.That made seven head count up top the mountain , even though it was difficult to see or count in all that misty air that cloaked them all.Maestro looked down on his watch as if he was waiting on someone who was being late . he stared at zeke who for some reason had a mask on as well this time around.Zeke nodded his head and turned his masked face downwards to his right breast pocket to bring out his burner cell phone.He handed the burner over to maestro who looked at the screen and saw the number dia
