As soon as Dotun confirmed the kill, he picked his phone.

“Chancellor Vlamdir Petrovic, I have neutralized the target.”

“Seen, just as usual Dust. Your remuneration is already on its way.”

Dotun quickly dismantled his sniper and walked to the door leading out of roof. Instead of going in, he turned around and walked to the side of the structure, then pressed his hands on the structure.

The structure gave way, showing a secret passage.

Walking down the passage, he got to the ground floor of the hotel. He simply stepped out, picked his suitcase and went away. Sunday on the other hand, used the confusion in the Dome to escape.

While all these was happening in Abuja, Wande was been interrogated by the CSO. She had just finished another session when Tade walked in.
“I heard that my attention was needed.” He said, staring at the CSO.

The CSO changed positions. “Yes,yes, I will need you for a little questioning but first can you help me watch over this Dame for a moment? I need to use the gents.” He stood up quickly, not giving Tade the chance to protest.

Tade walked towards her and sat down, staring at themselves intensely.

“Wande!”
“Tade!”
“Wande, what exactly happened?!” Tade asked, hoping for a ‘crocodile teary’ confession. Wande simply changed posture and placed her hands on her chin.

“Wande, come on! Tell me something!” Tade stood up angrily staring at her.

“Why you are taking Panadol for my headache?”

Wande asked, obviously not in the mood to look sorry.

“Wande, you were the Vice President of LSS some months back, you have served in various glowing capacities, why did you dent your image with this?

I refused to believe it when I was told, but seriously, I am completely shocked at what am seeing.” Tade, who was been bullish about the situation told her.

“So? All what you heard is true, what concerns you about it, eh Tade?” Wande shot back. “You are lucky I am hearing all these things here, if I was free, God knows that you won’t be spared. Who do you think you are? So if Shade told you my life history, this is how you will go ranting and crying abi? In fact, ask Shade about her history in school, since am sure she is the one ranting about me. You busy-bodies won’t stay on your own.”

“Wait, wait, what do you mean by ‘her history in school’?” Tade asked

“Oh, so you don’t know. Shade, who should know better had done a couple of things with me,including having some ‘fun’ time with a d---o.”

Tade staggered back, finding Wande’s words unbelievable. “You are only spitting lies about her.” He told her back.

“Indeed! You think Shade is an angel abi? You are very naïve. Very Naïve! Shade is nothing like an angel. We have fought together, we killed together and we have fvcked together, so deal with it.” She started laughing. “Or are you already falling for her? You must be very stupid to do so.”

“Tade, sorry for delaying.” Abiodun, the CSO said as he entered the room. “Please, can you follow me right now? Just leave her here.”
Tade stood up and followed him, reeling from Wande’s confessions.

Tade followed Abiodun as they walked out of. Floor O and moved towards the office of the CSO. Once inside, Abiodun pulled a chair and beckoned Tade to sit on it.

Once Tade became a bit more comfortable, Abiodun took his seat.

“What do you know about Wande?” He asked Tade. Tade looked at him squarely in the eye, wondering if this could turn to an interrogation.

“I knew Wande from Secondary school, she was one of those ‘SU’ girls, if you know what am saying.” Abiodun nodded his head.

“When I got to campus, she was already a senior in the Faculty of Law and a popular one at that. She rose to be the LLS Vice-President and held that post for a second year, before she moved her gaze to SRC. She kind of liked me, so we talked like friends, though I did not want to be too close to her, so that she won’t think we are dating.”

“Okay, how close to her were you?” Abiodun asked.

“As I said, we were just friends. Nothing intimate.”

“Do you know any of her other friends?”
“Hmn, I know Layo and Pelumi, but no one else.”

“Layo and Pelumi will do. What else do you know about her?”

Tade kept quiet for a moment, then looked straight at Abiodun.

“I know that she is obsessive, proud and very smart. As we are speaking, I feel that she is thinking of how to escape this place and rally her group for an attack. She won’t take what happened to her lightly, in fact, she will take it as a disgrace.”

He lifted his gaze from Abiodun, who was unfazed. “That’s all I know.”
“Thank you Mr Tade.” Abiodun stood up and shook Tade, which prompted him to stand up. “If you remember anything useful, just call me.”

Tade walked out and walked his way to his hostel, while Abiodun returned to Floor O.
What he saw shocked him, as Wande had mysteriously disappeared.

Tade got to his room, changed his clothes and went straight to Shade’s house, got to the gate and knocked angrily twice.

“Who wants to break my door?” Shade said as she peeped into the pin-hole to check who was outside. Seeing it was Tade, she opened the door.
“Tade, how f……..” Her voice trailed off as she saw how stressed and angry he was. “Tade, what’s wrong with you?” She asked with concern. Tade refused to answer her until he sat down.

“Shade, tell me what happened between you and Wande?”

“What do you mean?” She asked Tade.
“Don’t play that card with me!” Tade growled at her. “What happened between you and Wande? She was arrested yesterday and while she was been interrogated, she said some unwholesome things about you.”

“Like what?” Shade asked again.
“Like what, let’s see.” Tade said, shaking his head around. “What about being a l£sb!an and doing all sort of things with Wande.”

Shade’s face suddenly turned pale as she looked shocked– whether it was because of the revelation or because Wande lied against her, Tade could not tell.

Suddenly she started to cry, something which upset Tade.

“Shade, which kind of nonsense is this? Is this the time or the reason to start all these crocodile tears? Abeg talk jare!”

“I don’t blame you, you can’t understand!” Shade shot back, eyes still carrying buckets of tears. “You just opened a terrible part of my past. How can you…………..”

Pom! Pom!! Pom!!! Another knock came through.
“Who the fvck is that?” Shade screamed but before she could move, the door was opened and the person stepped into the house.

“Ah, its good I met both of you here. Shade, just kneel down there!” Staring at both of them was Wande with a shotgun!
