The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 58

*********

“Well, I cannot deny you of a
place to put yourhead but you
must realize that if your own
troops come against you, we
cannot hold them which
means our hospitality will only
be for a while. You will have to
find a way fast. But in the
meanwhile, you can have my
tent. I will have extra men go
deep to watch the
surrounding and check if we
have any incoming troops
which might be looking for
you. I will love to get in touch
with my superiors but I think
you might not like that and I
won’t but you have to make a
choice fast”

Michael nodded and the
President said;
“Thank you”

“I will send some food to you
and some additional mattress.

This place might not be as
comfortable as you think but
it is the best Ican give right
now. I will also send for some
communications, we have a
secure line whichyou can use
but if the situation is as
drastic as you have
mentioned, I advise you to
make sure you call the right
people as one call to the
wrong person, you would be
walking into a trap”
The president said;
“I am grateful”

The commandant walked out
and Izu and IBK came inside.

“How did it go?” Izu asked
“It went well, we have a
luxury hotel complete with
food and a telephone to
ourselves but the problem we
face is who to call” Shade said
“We can call the Vice
President” the President said
“In my absence, he is the
leader and he can explain all
this”
Shade replied;
“It will be great to call the Vice
president but what’s the
assurance that he has not
been compromised or that he
is part of all this. This might be
a plot to edge you out and
take over”

“Jeremiah can never betray
me” the President said. “He
might be ambitious but I don’t
think he would want to have
me killed”

“Well not a lot of people are
really loyal these days. Dare
and John used to be loyal until
theyturned out to be
backstabbing backsides” IBK
said

There was a knock as some
men walked in carrying
blankets and extra beds for
the team. The team kept quiet
as the beds were placed on
the floor of the tent and the
men walked out but they
handed a satellite phone to
Michael before they left and
Michael began to dial a
number

“Who are you calling?” Shade
asked

“I am calling a friend in South
Africa. If there has been a
coup back home, we cant
trust a lot of people and we
need to be careful”

The president asked;
“The South Africans don’t
have a contingent here so
what good will that do?”

“He is a DMI official attached
to the Nigerian consulate in
South Africa and he can get us
help fast”

The aide cut in;
“Cant’ we call the Americans
and ask for help?”
Michael said;

“If the Vice President is in on
this, there are chances that he
has taken over government
and he will be the President
and commander in chief
which will make her a fugitive.

The Americans can’t do much,
the most they can do is offer
her asylum. That’s if they don’t
whisper our location to the
army before they get here”

Michael heard a click on the
phone as the person he called
picked and answered with
asleepy voice;

“This better be good”
“Hello Lekan, this is Michael, I
need you to send a high
priority e-mail right now”
