The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 32

She put her hands behind her
and said;
“I am not going anywhere
until I see my bodyguards or
evidence that they are fine
and okay”
“That is not a problem ma’am”
one of them said but she did
not believe him.

His voice was too casual and
calm and he sounded too
comfortable with the situation
and she went to sit on a chair
while the guard stood at the
door and gestured at her to
get up and said;

“Your bodyguards are alive
and well fed. They are worried
about you of course but that
should not be your concern
right now, you are to come
with us”
“And where are you taking
me” she asked
“We are to move you to a
secured location until all these
issues are sorted out ma’am”
“And supposing I refuse to be
moved or taken anywhere?”
The guard answered but an
unusual patience;
“I don’t see how you can
refuse ma’am. You might try
to resist and we will just move
you uwillingly” now he was
smiling.
He continued;
“You are respected but this is
for your safety and we really
don’t have time to waste here
discussing it”

She went over to the bed, sat
down and said;
“I am not going anywhere
and that’s final”
The guard who had brought
the guards with him was
getting tired of the Nigerian
president’s attitude because
to him, she was acting like
some spoilt toddler when they
needed to move fast but to his
surprise, the guards who had
come for her were being
patient and courteous. Some
of them had waited at the
door as only 3 of them came
into the room with them and
he reasoned that they must
have been a special squad
Lucas had arranged for
special duties and this was a
special duty.

He did not fancy their job at all
as anything could go wrong
and they might lose her which
will certainly lead to them
hung by Lucas or caught by
the Nigerians and shot
without questions asked. He
looked at the president and
her defiance made his anger
grew. He said;
“Look you pompous
troublesome woman, it is
either you come by yourself or
we will carry you. Both ways,
you are going with them”

The president looked up and
saw that the men were
serious and they might try to
roughen her up if she did not
follow them and she decided
to follow them but she
thought of something else.
‘Okay, I will follow you but I
am bringing my aide with me”
“No problem. Can we go
now?”

She got up and stretched her
hand and took the hand of
her aide for support as she
walked out of the room
swiftly trying to hide the
weakness she was
experiencing in her legs as
she knew she could not afford
to show that she was soft or
scared. She got to the door
and saw that there were more
guards at the door waiting
patiently for her and they
made their way through the
hall andto the stairway.

They all walked down the
stairway and then Michael and
his team went in the direction
of the kitchen hoping to walk
towards the back door to the
truck which was waiting for
them but the guards walked
towards the offices which
also had Lucas Radonsolema
office. Michael noticed this
and took a quick look around.

He had six men with him since
he made another two stay
back to watch the kitchen exit.

He knew his men and him
were out numbered as if a
gunfight broke out right
there, more guards would
come in from the palace itself
and there would be trouble so
hesimply nudged the
president on towards the
dinning area.

The guards waited when they
saw the other men move in
another direction and the
leader said;
“Where are you going?”
Michael looked back and said;
“We are going through the
east wing since the north and
west are under attacks”

“But you should meet with the
general first. He might have
some orders for you”

“If he has additional orders,
he can always radio in.

besides, he in a very serious
meeting trying to see how the
Nigerians can be pushed back.

We are to move her safely
through this route so no one
would notice and be assured
of her safety”

The captain of the guards
thought it was strange but it
made some sense. The guns
at the distance did not really
seem too far anymore and
time was going against them
fast and if Lucas Radonsolema
had sent them,there was no
need to waste anymore time
so he said;
“Am I allowed to know where
she will be taken?”
Michael said;
“No you are not. Nobody must
know because this place
might be taken and you all
questioned. If where she is
remains, then she can be used
to bargain for your release
but don’t worry, the general
has a good plan for this”

The guard thought about this
for a while and waved them
off. With the president off his
watch, he could rest a little
and he will have just her
bodyguards who were locked
up in the barracks a long
distance away to deal with as
he watch them head towards
the dining room.

Both IBK and Izu did not
believe it went so well and
easy as they at least expected
the guards to doubt but
Michael’s accent had changed
to Tetuan and he sounded too
convincing. The rest of them
had kept mute throughout the
process of getting the
president and IBK thought to
himself;
“This is too easy. Much too
easy”

They walked into the dining
room and saw the members
they left there watching and
expecting them. They walked
straight for the kitchen and
towards the back door with
the president in between
them. They walked out and all
moved into the truck without
saying a word to one another
and drove towards the gate.

They picked up John who had
kept watch, drove past the
road block and kept driving
down the road.

The guard who had stood
watch at the road block saw
the truck come in the distance
and he hid in the shadows. He
did not see any other car or
person behind them and he
knew it was either the
mission had gone verywell or
they were all killed and the
truck had been taken over.

When the truck passed,
Michael was sitting beside the
driver and he simply waved at
him so he knew it was alright.
Shade had told him to smash
the communications
equipment she had given to
him and throw it into the fire
when she put it on him earlier
so he knew exactly what to
do. He had already found a
dead body somewhere and he
put his name tag on the body
as he got on a motorcycle and
rode away. He already had a
meeting point with the
Nigerians where he would
meet to collect his demands
for helping out.

Lucas was still in his office
and he heard the guns get
louder as his men told him
from the radio that they were
being overpowered and
outgunned. He grew more
worried as his men were
nowhere to be seen and the
Nigerians could come
knocking at his door
atanytime. He decided he had
had enough and he got up,
picked up his intercom and
barkedsome orders into it. he
walked out of his office and
the two guards with him
followed him as he walked
towards the residential
quarters and he got to the
foot of the stairway.

He met the captain and he told
him;
“Go up there and bring the
Nigerian president down. We
won’t be needing her aide
anymore so shoot her but
make sure the president is not
hurt”

The guard looked at Lucas
and said;
“But sir, you just sent a team
to come get her and move her
to another location for her
safety. They left her barely
minutes ago”

Lucas looked at the guard and
thought he was hearing
things;
“What did you just say?”

The guard repeated himself
and Lucas felt the world
around him turn around.

“Get some trucks and follow
them. I gave no such order
and I want you to find them
or else, I will kill you myself”

In the truck, Michael did not
say a word to John who was
driving until they were past
the road block. He waved to
the guard, looked at shade
who sat between him and
John and said;
“Send the message to Abuja
