The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 41

The crisis room was quiet and
there was a mood around it
that made everyone shiver.

The eyes of each individual
burned in their sockets as
they looked up to one another
for explanations then a voice
came over the radio;
“Abuja, we cannot confirm if
the president was on board
or not and we cannot send a
team in to confirm as the
blockade still holds firm. We
are about to find a way
around thembut it might take
some time before we can
dothat and the fact that they
might have snipersin those
building will make it a lot
easier”

The vice President who had
been quiet for a while said;
“Your Commander in Chief is
out there Major, you get
through and bring her back
and use whatever means
necessary. “

“Yes sir” the voice answered.
When the connection went
out, the Vice looked towards
Kuyi and asked;
“What can we do we know
now and what can we do?”

Kuyi looked around the room
and said;

“We can’t do much until we
know what happened with
that chopper. I would advice
we send another one out
there but I don’t know how
much that will do as t might
just be shot down too.

Communication with the team
is almost impossible as the
radio is not working so we
are blind and deaf but we
could send men to slip behind
their lines and check. I am
sure Lucas will also have men
run down that road too”
“What do we do now?”
“I agree with Buba right now,
we hit that blockade and
create a hole, it does not
matteranymore right now
because we are not
maintaining peace anymore,
Lucas told us he does not
need that when he took the
President, we are at it seems
sir war. Maybe ifwe told Lucas
that in strong terms, he will
know how much trouble he
might be in”
Buba cut in;
“He might know? I say we hit
those guys so hard, they feel
like a volcano just went up
under their legs”
Then Ifeoma got the
confidence to talk;
“We should go easy on the
attacks guys, we really don’t
know where the president is
rightnow and an all out attack
might just make her a
casualty”
Buba said;

“How do we know she is not
one already? You and kuyi’s
plan has gone from bad to
worse and this is the result of
it all. The president is probably
dead or seriously hurting now
this is where we are all
because of you and your silly
secret plan”

Kuyi sat down without
replying Buba but Ifeoma
could not sit back and watch
him drag her through the
mud and she replied;
“Our plan? You had a part to
play which was to make sure
the alternate routes into the
major road was watched so
they won’t get surprised but
you did nothing. If you had
monitored it, they will all be
on their way home right now
and we won’t be bothered
about whether or not they are
alive right now so don’t put
this on me general”

“Can we all just keep calm and
face the real issue here?” The
vice President said.

“I understand we are all tired
and stressed but let’s solve
this issue and then we can
argue who has what fault
later.”

“We should all just wait and
allow time take its course, we
have troops around there and
let them do their jobs before
we lose hope. There is still a
chance the president is alive
and we should hold on to that
plan” Kuyi turned towards
Buba and said:
“Then when all is done, we
would probably be doing a
complete enquiry into what
exactly went wrong”

The vice president said;
“Okay let’s keep this going
before the press start hassling
us for information”

“So what’s the plan now?”
Ifeoma said

Kuyi turned towards Buba and
said;
“First we push through that
barrier and see who what
happened with the chopper
then we send in our ground
forces to those streets, we
monitor the buildings and do
a thorough of the whole place
to make sure she is alive”
“What if she is dead?”
“Then God helps Lucas and his
army”

Lucas was not assured of
anything. he had found no
need for his chair anymore,
the heavy shelling of his
house did not help issues get
better as the constant
vibrations and gunshot did
not help his thinking and
reasoning.

The men at the front had
reported that they were
approaching the clearing and
they did so cautiously. When
they got close, he had them
put him on a open line so he
could get the information
immediately they got it. He
was not about to wait for
anything as the president
would decide what he would
do next, He walked around
the office nervously and
occasionally, his lieutenants
call his line for some order
and he just ignored them, he
knew he was playing
something with high scales
and he had to keep his eyes
on the ballor everything
would go down quickly. His
men at the gates said
although the Nigerians were
attacking them, they were still
not beingcompletely serious
and something told him they
also did not know the fate of
their president. If she was
dead, they won’t be shooting
guns at him, they would be
bombing him aerially
