The commandant suddenly
noticed the heightened
tension around the camp and
the team members were
almost pulling off their guns
and pointing them and him
and he concentrated on his
phone saying;

“You realize that we are in a
struggle against the Tetuan
government who has left our
people in poverty and hunger.
We have been fighting and
this has lead to the death of a
lotof our women and children,
to the closing of schools and
has set our economy
backward. Iam sure if you
were to speak with our
superiors, they would want
the same thing asthis is what
we have been fighting for and
this is what we wanted the
present to the Nigerian
President when we meet with
her. All I ask for it that this
conflict should be resolved
fast”

He paused and then
continued;

“I ask that you use your
presence in Tetuan to help us
oust the present oppressive
administration and so we will
be able to start up a new
government which will right
the wrongs done by this
administration and we can
finally move on as a people
and as a nation. We hope
helping you out now will
result in your cooperation to
help us achieve our goals too
since this administration has
shown even to you that they
cannot be trusted and will
stop at nothing to achieve
their dreams of killing and
maiming innocent people”
Ifeoma felt as though a huge
weight had been lifted from
her shoulder. She was
expecting the commandant to
make some crazy demands
but was relieved at what he
said. She already knew that
Lucas would be introuble if
the president gets back home
and that was not a favor to
anyone, it would just be
something they would do
because they want to do it.
She breathed out and replied;

“I think I can speak for
everyone here if I say we will
be happy to kick Lucas out of
office. We will even enjoy
doing it and it will not feel like
a favor at all”

The commandant said;
“Then helping you will be an
honor. We just need to know
what your plans are and we
will get prepared for it”

“Ifeoma looked behind as she
heard some footsteps and she
saw Kuyi walking towards her
with Charles still standing at
the door he stopped in front
of her and asked her to give
him the phone, she did and he
spoke into it;

“We will have a bird in the air
soon from Liberia and they
will be flying towards you.

There is a landing strip just
minutes away from you and
you should get the team there.

When the plane is almost
there, we will inform you but
you can do us a favor by
sending a team there to make
sure the place is secure and
you can mark the space with
some lights to enable the pilot
land in the darkness. That is
the plan and soon, she will be
out of your hands and on her
way home”

The commandant had no
issues with the plan. He
already knew the landing site
Kuyi was referring to as the
rebels have used it long ago
to smuggle in arms and so
they knew the terrain well. It
was also secured butwhat
kuyi asked for was not too
farfetched as anything can
happen in a seconds so he
said;

“I will lead a team there
immediately to check the site
while they stay here and rest.

When the plane is almost here,
they can join us there and the
rest would be history”

The commandant looked back
at the team and said;
“I have to go secure the strip,
the rest of you can stay here
and rest while I sort this out”
“I will come with you to
survey the area” Michael said.

“That would not be necessary,
my men are capable of this”
Michael said;
“From what I have seen these
past few hours, I think I
would love to see things for
myself. Besides I don’t think I
would be able to lie down
here and wait for the plane to
arrive. I will catch some rest
while we are onboard and on
our way home”

The commandant saw that
there was no point arguing
with him and said;

“As you wish, we would leave
immediately”

Kuyi handed the phone to
ifeoma as she asked to speak
to the president and he
walked out of the room to
make sure the plan does not
fail this time. He knows he
would need to pull it off in
secrecy and he could not
allow anyone else know
before she got into the
country.

Lucas walked past the same
kitchen the team had passed
before and there were cars
waiting for him already at the
back. He walked briskly to the
cars and got into the BMW
whose doors were already
opened and he sat down as
the cars drove off into the
morning.

Lucas knew it was time to
leave his palace as he would
be in a lot of trouble if he
stayed there; there was a
chance that he would either
be killed or arrested. He had
kept to the plan but it had
gone terribly wrong because
of the plan. When the car
started moving, he got
another call from his men on
the grounds and he answered
it
