*5am*

The name Samantha Osman was spread all over
the country as the name of a criminal. The
police had no choice than to declare an unknown
person wanted. It was not even known if
Samantha Osman was the culprit’s real name, all that they knew was that it was the name she
used in carrying out her atrocities.

Ordinarily it sounds funny that a name without a
face should be declared wanted and the Nigerian
Government were furious when the news first
broke out to the world. But to their surprise,
other countries like USA, Russia, Korea and
England began to come forth with their own
confessions of the same cases. The only
difference was that theirs did not involve really
high profile citizens.

The Nigerian police had also linked up the Health
minister’s and the Rivers State governor’s murder
cases. Evidences available proved that it was
the same person who carried out the job; the
reason for the killings nor the person behind
them was yet unknown.

The evidences which linked up the cases
included the name ‘Samantha Osman’ and traces
of an unknown substance found in the survivors’
bodies used to induce sleep and
unconsciousness in them.
‘You guys did the River State Job?’ Don looked
into Aisha’s face as he asked. Both of them la!d
on the bed stark naked except for the blanket
which covered their bodies.
Don caressed Aisha’s face, wiping her hair off
her eyes as he waited for an answer. ‘You’ve
asked that before’ she answered him bluntly.
‘You didn’t answer me’ Don said again.
‘I did’ she retorted
‘You didn’t tell me the truth honey’ he said
softly.
‘What other truth do you want me to tell you?’
she questioned
‘Okay, if you didn’t do that job. Where were you
throughout the whole period of the incident?’
‘I told you before that the Boss does not allow
us go out at will’ she spoke angrily and got up
from the bed, she walked to the wardrobe and
brought out a towel which she wrapped around
her body and headed for the bathroom.
‘Did she also tell you to switch off your phones?’
Don continued adamantly as he sat up.
Aisha paused and turned back, giving him a cold
stare. ‘What exactly is the matter? Why are you
questioning me like a police officer?’
He stood up from the bed and walked towards
her. He stopped in front of her and stared right
into her eyes as he spoke, ‘when did you start
lying to me? I thought we were lovers’
‘What do you want me to tell you? Frame up
stories to please you?’ The argument was
already turning to a heated one.
‘You’re already framing up stories, have you
forgotten that I have your phone connected to
my computer? Your location as at last week was
Rivers State, so stop lying’ he gave her a cold
stare.
That got her easily, she gave up her angry look
and changed her look into one of someone that
had been caught red-handed. ‘What exactly do
you need all these information for?’ her voice
was calmer now
‘I don’t need them for anything’ he said as he
walked away angrily from her. ‘I just need you to
be honest with me’
‘I’m sorry’ she pleaded and followed after him.

‘Its just that I don’t want any troubles with the
Boss’
‘Troubles? For telling me the truth? Did you do
the job or not?’ he asked again, his back still
turned against her.
‘Yes we did’ she confessed. ‘We were in Rivers
State all through last week’
‘Then why were you lying to me?’ His tone was
softer.
‘I’m sorry’ she said and wrapped her hands round
his neck. He turned and pulled of the towel from
her body, he pushed her to the bed and they
went another round of sex.

*9am*
‘Good morning Cole’ Tarasha’s voice came
through as Cole picked the call.
‘Good morning Boss’ Cole replied. It was his first
time of hearing her voice since they returned to
Lagos. She sounded rejuvenated to him.
‘How are you doing Cole?’ She asked.
‘Fine Boss, you?’
‘Good, how about your colleagues?’
‘They’re fine also’
‘Hope you guys have been enjoying your short
break, we may have to do another job very
soon?’
‘Of course yes, we are well rested’
‘Alright Cole, don’t you think that you need better
security in the office?’
‘Huh’ Cole didn’t understand the question.
‘You might soon start to get unwanted visitors
there, you might need to secure the office more’
Tarasha expatiated
‘Unwanted visitors?’ Cole argued, ‘I don’t think
anyone would try us here’
‘But you guys are already inviting them’ Tarasha
retorted
‘How?’ Cole seemed confused
‘Haven’t you been going out?’
Yes, we have but…’
Tarasha cuts in, ‘Yes, none of you has brought
anyone there but you’ve drawn attention to the
office unknowingly. Tell the others that you need
more security and get them prepared for
anything’
‘Okay’ Cole’s voice sounded a little bit scared, he
was confused as to why Tarasha was advising
them to get ready for any attack. Maybe she had
seen something dangerous.
‘Benny’ Cole called as he dropped the phone call,
he headed for Benny’s room. Aisha was on the
way bringing a tray with plates of spaghetti and
chicken. ‘We need to talk,wait for us in the
sitting room’ Cole said to Aisha before going
ahead to get Benny.
‘What’s it about?’ Aisha asked impatiently as
Benny and Cole walked back into the siting room.
Cole made sure everyone was seated before he
began to talk, ‘which of us here has brought
anyone into this house?’ he asked question that
got a reply of surprise stares.
‘The Boss called today, that’s why I’m asking’ he
added when they remained mute.
Benny and Aisha looked at each other’s face, ‘No
one knows this place through me’ Benny said
‘Neither through me also’ Aisha added
‘Are you sure that nobody has ever traced you
here without you knowing?’ Cole asked again
‘Yes , no one’ was the reply he got
‘The boss says we need more security here’ Cole
squinted as he talked. ‘We need to be careful
from henceforth, she hinted that we may be
attacked soon’
‘How? No one knows here’ Benny put in.
Cole raised his brow and gave him a suspicious
look, ‘are you sure that you never brought any of
your girls in here while we were away?’
The question didn’t meet Benny well, he got up
angrily. ‘Are you crazy? How can you say that?’
‘Why shouldn’t I say so?’ Cole replied him in the
same tone. ‘Everybody here knows that you’re so
fond of girls and they can make you do anything
‘You’re a dog’ Benny cursed and brought out his
gun angrily, he pointed it at Cole.
‘Hey guys!’ Aisha stepped in. ‘Don’t do this
please’ she said, motioning Benny to drop his
gun. ‘We don’t need to fight over this, let’s just
take the Boss’s advice and be more careful’
Benny returned the gun into his pocket and
stormed out of the house, leaving Cole and Aisha
to stare at themselves silently.
