" Ma'am would you prefer to talk inside or outside"?

" Come in". She responded nervously.

After sitting.

"After all investigations, we have no clue to stand on solid ground. But your finger prints are all over, leading all suspect to you".

" Sir I am as innocent as baby, I don't know how that to say or do for you to believe me".

" As for now there is nothing but evidence. A solid proof, to be shown".

" Where can I get it from"? Now speaking with tears in her eyes.

" Ma'am your dad and brother are out, the will be back soon". A voice said moving towards her direction.

" She goes upstairs. After her luggages had been placed in her room. She goes back down to pick her purse. A scream was heard.

"Ahhhhhhh ........"

"Surprise"! Duke and Gackson said out yelling joyfully.

"Damn, you guys scared me to death". She said putting a hand at her chest panting. "Where have you guys been"?

"Never mind sis"?

" How was your trip "? Duke said quite hastily.

" Astonishing, really enjoyed my self"

"With out you, we did not". Gackson said.

" Awnnnn".

As she re freshened up Duke and Gackson were in a discussion.

"Prepare a flight for the familia, the boys will join in later". Duke said.

" Yes dad. But what exactly is the trip for"? Gackson questioned.

" A business negotiation".

"Why are then to follow you"?

" You ask too much questions. Just do what you have been told to do".

AT THE OUTSKIRTS.

Seconds led to minutes which enhanced to hours, then to days and begat to horrifying loneliness. Still Chinedu had not still find a way out of the woods. Frustrated he walks to a cliff edge and seats speaking to himself.

" I cannot remember who I am neither where I am". He burst into tears as he stands to his feet he yells to the forest.

"Mother nature take me with you and-". As if listening and waiting the cliff gave in, and began crumbling down. Plummeting with God speed. He screens spinning in disoriented somersaults, in the horrified seconds or dizzying terror as he fell, he know he would die.

As if by instinct grabbed a piece of rock, and looked at the height above him and looked at further more feets down.

Now trying to pull himself upwards. The rock pulled out and he goes flying down again. This time a huge rock chases after him. He braced for the bone crushing collision. Accepting his faith he says.

"I am gone".

---

Meanwhile at Hover Town. A telephone rang abruptly. Am officer picked up.

"This is the Hover Town Pol-".

"Get me connected to you Director immediately". A voice said not wanting to hear the officer.

"May I know who you are"?

"I am the head of the Russian security department".

" Okay sir, he is quite busy at the moment ".

" I have no time for arguments. It's urgent". He said his voice now intensifying.

"Okay sir".

AFTER A MINUTE

"Sir you have a call from the RSD".

"Connect me with him immediately".

" Good day sir. You are speaking to Christian Smith, the head of police".

" I have been waiting patiently but it seems nothing is going on".

" We have been doing the best we can ".

" We need answers".

" As I have said. Investigations are on going"!!

" Look if I have not gotten the upper hand in this case, I will be forced to raise charges. My men are present but you don't allow their indulgence"!!

" This is my country, I'll do my work the way it should go".

" If a clue is not given to me soon, I will be forced to take her in to custody"!!!

" Are you threatening me"?!!

" Just telling you all that will happen when my rules are disobeyed".

Smith scoffs before replying"And that is against the law".

"We will see about that". He scoffs and hangs up.

" Shut your-"

" Dad don't tell me your -back to your old ways? Remember you promised ". Florence asked skeptically with wide eyes.

"No-not all baby. It just a family time vacation trip".

" I really don't know what you still doing with them".

" For security purposes ".

" Then get the cops, soldiers -"

" That's okay". He said looking at his son with a full ball of rage, exuding an aura that seemed deadly and daunting.

Gackson gulped in hard and whispered "Oh-oh am in trouble".

Moments later they located their hotel rooms.

LATER ON

The director meets the general and informs him about the confrontation.

"This is very serious". Amberlake said.

" Sir we can not let this go by. How sure are we that their not the master mind behind the bomb heist. We can use this against them". Smith said.

" We need to play fair, and do not jump into conclusions, we need thorough investigation ".

" Sir this is not a case to investigate ".

" Then take this to the one who knows how to do his job. The commissioner".

THE NEXT DAY.

Sofia closes from work and decides to go home. After calling all day with no response.

"Wait why are they cops in the vicinity". As she approaches a cop tells her to pull over.

"Good day ma'am may I know where you are coming from and who you are looking for"?

" Patience Herber, and coming from work ".

" Ma'am she is not receiving any visitors at the moment ".

" Sir you really don't understand. She is my friend".

" Am sorry ma'am ".

" Why won't she receive guests "?

" I can not disclose such information"

" Thank you". She says driving nervously away." I really need to help her I'll get a lawyer and help from the HID.

THE NEXT DAY.

As the Director is heard speaking on the phone, with the general.

"Who was the officer in charge as when miss Patience Herber came in"?

" Sir officer Wellington Gravas, general is there any problem".

" Bring him along sides the one who connected you with the RSD".

" Your office Sir".

" The commissioner's office". He said hanging up.

" Keep on cross checking all available cctv cameras". Lucas said. "Benson you and I will go to the airport to ask for some valuable information, before then inform the HSD to be one step ahead. I want the vicinity safe and free from spies and any possible threat".

---

" Officer Willinton, I presume you were the one in charge of patience Herbert's case?"? Amberlake said steely.

" Yes sir". He responded.

"What was your reason on keeping her on a house arrest"?

" To keep a close eye on her and-".

"Have you gotten any clue yet"? The commissioner said.

" No sir, am still-".

"Now even if she is guilty, she would keep her ways pure, think straight". The commissioner said. "She seems positively livid". He continued.

" We still don't know, maybe a master mind or not". Willinton said.

" Release her ".

" Sir I think we would be making a huge mistake". He said giving a confused look.

" Listen to the order young man". Amberlake shot back.

" Sorry sir". He said standing more straight.

" Director Smith now is your opportunity to speak. To the commissioner ". He said as Smith nods. " Sir I think we should give the officer a three week suspension for been foolish and not seeking for permission". He continued.

" Am not giving him a suspension".

"What"!!!!!!!!. Amberlake said with a shocked face.

"Instead he is leaving the force. We don't need men like you in the security department talk less of field."

" Sir please, I was just doing my work ".

" The next time so it right, ah-sorry there's no next time and and Smith no more indulgence in the police affairs, two job is a lot to handle alone".

" Sir that was my double promotion given to me by the minister of defense ".

" I will tell him about it".

" Smith anything the RSD tells you. Do well to notify us". Amberlake said.

" General do you have any more thing to say". The general nodded negative.

" Then I pronounce this meeting dismissed".

LATER AT THE HOVER VILLA

"Sir the dragon squad have been more than a problem currently"!! Amberlake said.

" So"? Wilson responded.

Surprised"I have admitted 10,00 military personnels to some areas for at least three months of accurate security development".

" Why are you so keen about the safety of the citizens "?

" It is my job sir".

" Leave that for the minister of defense. You are just a general, don't take so much on your head go to an early grave".

" I-".

" Shut up, I got a lot on my mind and you keep adding to the tally".

" Get the hell out of my office. Out"!!! He said pointing towards the door.

---

"Good day sir, this is Duke Rowenskie speaking".

" May I know your purpose of calling "? A voice answered over the receiver.

" Sir Ferdinand I would like to propose a business deal with you".

" What category exactly "?

" Trafficked drugs and guns. Five dozen each ".

" Hmm.. meet me at the Baranchios casino at 8pm prompt".

" Deal or no deal ". Duke says as Fredinard hangs up.

" Romeo alert the boys. We going shopping tonight ".

" Yes boss". He responded his voice sounding from a distance.

---

Chinedu quickly wakes up from his deep sleep, terrified he turns around and noticed he was still alive.

"Thank God it was just a mere dream".

MINUTES LATER

He goes haunting. When he noticed a residential area close by. He leaps in joy and hurriedly goes packing. Eats and showers and goes traversing the glorious field. His hope withered away, noticing now from a close and clear view. It's just a deserted place littered with skulls, bones and some worn out old buildings

"Hello any one"!! He heard his voice reverberate giving him chills.

A loud noise roared from a distance and immediately something passed beside him swiftly. He chases and loses sight of it. Again he heard a noise and saw a shadow. Now afraid he decided to make a run for it. But it was no try. He falls on the floor now screaming in pain as the creature gets hold of him. Trying to see what held him with might grip but his eyes was to faint to see , He wondered was it fear or horror.

---

"This is Duke Rowenskie. Sir fredinard I just wanted to know how much the package would cost".

" We will talk about it during our negotiation, do not call me again "! He said hanging up.

" This man is getting on my nerves". Duke says clenching his jaw. As Gackson enters the room.

"Who was that dad"?

"None of your business, get out I need a private time"
