The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 17

*****
Ma’am, those file you asked
for are ready.

***************************
For some time, the two men in
the plane said nothing to one
another as they were both
caught in their thoughts, Izu
could not really understand
why he was suddenly being
called to the capital from the
headquarters as it all seemed
strange to him. he had just
averted a terrorist attack
which could spark actions all
around the country and now
was not the time to give him
another assignment which is
what this call sounded like to
him. Perhaps they had found
another terrorist cell
somewhere in Abuja and
wanted him to come take a
look but he was not
comfortable with it. he wished
he could be the person to
interrogate the driver and
those caught in the
warehouse but it looked like it
was not going to happen. The
presence of IBK gave more
reason to his belief. Maybe his
investigations into the arms
movement was getting
somewhere and there was a
link between the two but
there was no point flying him
to Abuja to tell him that, he
could just do all that and
compare the instances from
Lagos.

He was excited that there
might be a connection
between the arms trafficking
and the terrorists as that
would help a lot in not only
bringing down the terrorists
but also the arms traders and
a whole lot of crimes can
either be solved or prevented
in the process. Everything was
so connected to one another
now and just a slip up in one
case might mean a slip up in a
whole lot of investigations he
did not know about.

Ibukun on the other hand
was not impressedwith his
being called off his case, he
had traced some guns from
Osun state to Lagos before he
heard of the bank robbery
and wasalmost sure that it
was the same guns he saw
being moved that were used.
If his theory turned out to be
true, he could would just need
to pin the movement back to
the personhe knows is behind
it and it is over, he also knows
that the criminals know he is
on their tails and with some
of those guns in the custody
of the police, they might move
them or try to cover their
tracks and he was hoping for
it.

The was no way they could
cover their tracks and do so
quietly so he would hear
about it and he can easily slip
behind their lines and get the
evidence he wanted but it
was all ideaand going well
until he was called off. That
was one thing he did not
think of

“What if the culprits are
actually in it with his bosses
and calling him is a way to
cover the whole thing? Pull
him off the case and put
someone who was corrupt on
it just long enough for them
to go under and ensure they
are never caught”

That is a possibility he knows
is true but he thinking about
it hurts. He is so close to
wrapping up the case and he
could not afford to lose it. he
looked out the window and
saw the capital city down
below. He had being there a
couple of times but he had
never been summoned there.
“Maybe this will be something
different from what I have
been thinking”

He looked towards Izu to
notice that he was also in
deep thought and something
told him his former partner
knows what was going on as
the pilot came back and told
them to prepare for landing.
The jet landed and the both of
them walked out to meet
some military officials waiting
forthem, there were cars
already waiting too and they
got in thinking they were
about to be driven outside the
airport but they the car
headed to one of the hangers
in the Air force wing and
drove in. They both looked at
one another confused as they
got down and were greeted
by an air force personnel;
“Agent Izu, Agent ibukun,
welcome to Abuja, the others
have been waiting for you for
the meeting to start”

Ibukun looked towards Izu
who looked just as confused
as he was and he said;
“Meeting? What meeting?”

The young lady simply looked
at them and said;
“Please come with me”

They walked past the guards
who all looked and different
personnel who were moving
all sort of crates and boxes to
a corner and walked to a
door. The officer stood at the
entrance and beckoned to
them to enter while she stood
outside. IBK opened the
doorand held it as Izu walked
in first.

The room behind the door
looked like a normal room
except there were men sitting
and some guy was standing
in front of them apparently
making a speech and Izu
stood beside the door as IBK
walked beside him and the
man address the group
looked towards him and said;
“Welcome, you two can take a
seat and we will bring you
two up to speed as to what is
happening”

IBK looked around the room
and said;
“And what exactly is
happening? I was pulled off
an investigation and I was at
least expecting someone from
the SSS not the Air force”

“Well, this is a joint operation
and let me assure you, nobody
here is actually Air force, there
are just here to transport you
to where you are supposed to
be”

“And where will that be? I am
a little lost and what do you
mean nobody here is Air
force? This is an air force
hanger right?” IBK said.
