Debby: Dad!

Mr. Lukman: Hey Debby... How're you doing

Debby: Oh Thank God... I've been trying to reach you for the past 2 hours but it's not reachable...

Mr. Lukman: Oh I'm so sorry darling. We're having a situation here and that's why I haven't been reachable ...

Debby: Awn I'm so sorry dad... I just wanted to know how you're doing and also know if you're coming for my birthday

Mr. Lukman: Oh my God it's your birthday... It nearly skipped my mind

Debby: wait a minute, did you just mean you nearly forgot about my birthday

Mr. Lukman: No no Not really... (sighs) It's just; my mind has been occupied with cases and all of that

Debby: I get you dad... But aren't you coming tonight

Mr. Lukman: Darling I can't promise you... My Job is at stake and I need to fix it

Debby: But dad... I've missed you... It's been nearly a month since I saw you

As the conversation was still on; Kate approaches Mr. Lukman's door 🚪dressed on a corporate wear and carries a white file. She slightly knocks at the glass door. At that he signifies her to come in

Mr. Lukman: I know Debby and i also miss you but i want you to know that the reason i took this job in the first place was because of you. I love you and i don't want you to suffer. Debby i know I have not been there for you, but i promise i'll find time, then we'll talk, maybe take a vacation to Florida. You know! Just like you've always wanted

Debby: Really dad?

"Yea"

Debby: Awn! I love you dad

Mr. Lukman: I love you too darling. Now i want you to do something for me. Get off from the bed, take a good bath. Get out with a birthday mood and have some fun

Debby: (chuckles) Alright dad... See you soon... Bye

"bye darling" Mr. Lukman lastly said as he cuts the phone

(Off the Phone)

Kate: That was Debby right?

Mr. Lukman: Yea. Today is her birthday

Kate: Yea I know; I actually called her this morning

Mr. Lukman: Thanks... but deb's not happy with me

Kate: Not Happy with you! Why?

"(Sighs) Ever since Clara died, it has been really hard for Debby & i and am the only family she got. Today been her birthday, we are suppose to be together, have fun which I'll never miss but here i am working on some stupid case and all Director salaam could do is to threaten me with my job... (gasps) i just don't know what to do" Mr. Lukman said as he felt depressed

Kate stood for a while before walking up to a seat adjacent to Mr. Lukman's table. The two has a close relationship like a family friend even before Mr. Lukman got his job....

"You don't have to say that... Yea I know it's been hard for you, for Debby but that's the reason why you're in this position. To learn how to face challenges even if it comes with a price. I know this past few weeks has been like tough but put in the back of your mind that very soon it will be over"

"(Sighs) it will be over" Lukman mutters to himself

"Yea (smiles) Most of the time I get discourage or depressed that it's not working, no solution... but do you know what? I always snap out of that thought when I remember those who we are serving. For our country, loved ones and guess what? There'll always be a solution. As for Debby, I know she'll be proud to have a serving father like you" Kate still speaking was cut off by Mr. Lukman who called her name

"Kate... (Sighs) I um.... Thank you. With what you've said, I feel a bit relieved and maybe even when this crises is over, I'll find time and go surprise her" Mr. Lukman said as cheers up a little before asking

"So away from that what do we have"

"Yea... During our investigation, we found out that most of the bullet the armed men used during their attack were the V-crown jacketed hollowed point bullets used only in this kind of weapon" Kate replied as she brings out the details from her file and hands it over to him

Mr. Lukman takes the file and views this image. Seeing it; Mr. Lukman raises his eyebrow and exclaim "That's the Sig Sauer Weapon"

Kate nods in affirmation "yes sir"

"oh my God"

"Luckily for us; we got to know that those weapon were just shipped into a warehouse here in Lagos. Headquarter sent us details of an assumed suspect. A man named Ahmed Danladi" She stated as she took the detail of the suspect out of a white file presenting it to Johnny📄"Who Appears to be a cover arm dealer is assumed to supplied weapons or even operated the attack on Shoprite" Kate lastly said

"Do we have a location on him now" Lukman asked still staring at the file

"Yea. Um i just uh wanted to inform you that Kcee and the team are minutes away from the location and um also wanted to know if you'll would like to view the operation" Kate replied

"really; that's good news... Good job... good job.... hmm; you head downstairs, start the processing and Uh, I'll also like to address every one... get that" Lukman said happily

"yes sir" She replied as she took her file and was about leaving when she was stopped by Lukman's voice "And one more thing Kate... Good work"

"Thank you Mr. Lukman" She smiley replies as she heads out of the building pushing the glass door open and walking down the stairs

Later Mr. Lukman is seen beaming with smile that everything is working out perfectly...
