Dave met with Dan just as he stepped out of the building. Dan had come with five other SSS officials, only he was on mask.

‘Dave, how far?’ Dan approached him inquisitively.

‘They escaped,’ Dave replied with a dejected tone as he stepped down from the balcony.

‘Who escaped?’
‘Samantha Osman and her men.’
‘They were here?’ Dan looked at him in surprise. ‘But you told me you looking for somewhere to get your girlfriend’s hospital fee.’

‘Yes, I came to the GT Bank at the next street and that was where I heard the gunshots from.’

‘Hmm… Okay,’ Dan nodded his head. Dave had no idea that he was followed to the place by Dan and Dan saw how he parked his car somewhere and went into the salon. The only thing Dan did not see was who Dave went to meet and when he got out of the salon. ‘So what are we doing now?’
‘I’m leaving, we’re late. The police officers are gathering the report already,’ Dave replied, walking towards the gate.
‘Let’s leave in my car or did you bring yours?’ Dan asked in pretense.
‘I have my car parked at the other side of the road,’ Dave replied without turning back.
‘Okay,’ Dan stopped and turned back. He waited for Dave to step out of the place before he spoke to the other five men. ‘We’re going to check around and also get reports from the police officers around.’
11 minutes later.
Dave poured the rest of the cold water from bottle down his throat. He dropped the empty bottle on the backseat and closed his eyes as he let out a breath. Even though the troubles that day was something he could get commendation for, he wasn’t so happy because Samantha Osman got away again. The only thing he considered as his achievement that morning was being sure of the fact that Samantha Osman was being pursued by another assasin.

He was still lost in thoughts when his phone began to ring. He took it out of his pocket and checked the screen, the caller was Lizzy.
‘Hi Liz, sorry I’ve not called you yet.’ he said, remembering that he had promised to call.
‘It’s okay. How did it go?’
‘Well, nothing much achieved. But the Inspector General was rescued alive and has been taken to the hospital with over thirty police escorts.’
‘That’s something. I told you that they must have hidden the Inspector General there.’
‘Yes, you did. I’m sorry for doubting you.’
‘I take no offense.’
‘You know what Liz?’ Dave let out a breath and sat up, suddenly feeling the need to chill out a bit and ease the tension he had been facing.

‘What?’
‘Can we have lunch together this afternoon?’
There was silence from the other end for a moment. It sounded strange to Lizzy, they had done lunch together several times while working together and there was nothing special in it, so she wondered why he was asking that way.
‘Please don’t say no,’ Dave added in a pleading voice.
‘Oh!’ she chuckled on hearing him sound serious. ‘Is this a date, or you just want to buy me food?’ she asked in a joking tone.
‘Hmm…’ Dave thought for a while, not sure of what answer to give. ‘Well, let’s just say I want to chill out with you.’
‘Chill out with me? You have enough girlfriends to do that with, why me today?’
Dave laughed. ‘Two o’clock Liz, Fadel Cool Creamery.’
‘Okay, Dave. I’m free, so I’ll be there to eat.’ she stressed the word ‘eat’.
Dave laughed again. ‘Okay.’
The call ended and Dave dropped the phone on the seat. He was about to pull his seatbelt on when his phone began to ring again. This time, Stephanie was the caller.
‘Hello!’
‘Hi Dave, I’m sorry for disturbing but I don’t think I can make it this evening anymore, it could still work today if it’s a little bit earlier.’

‘Oops!’ Dave let out a sigh before checking his wristwatch. ‘It’s 11:57am now, how soon can you meet me at Fadel Cool Creamery at Asokoro.’
‘I don’t know the place.’
‘You can take a cab from where you are at Maitama, it won’t take more than 14 minutes to get you there if they take Shehu Shagari way.’
‘Okay, I’ll dress up right away and meet you there.’
‘Okay.’
