The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 66

********

“What is the update? Tell me
you have something for me”
The voice replied;

“We have tracked down the
president and the team that
came to grab her. They were
attacked as you know but we
could not save them sir. There
was a explosion as a grenade
was thrown in the process of
the fight and they might all be
dead.”

“What do you mean they
might be dead?”

“They were surrounded and
there was an exchange of fire.

There is no way they would
have gotten out of it alive”
“Who attacked them? because
I told you to bring them alive”
“We are not sure sir but the
area is controlledby the rebels
and if they had taken the
president, they might have
killed her to get us in trouble”
“Well we are in more trouble
than we hoped for right now
but can you go in to get her
body? That way we can
ensure that she is and we
would be sure of what we are
doing”

“Sir the rebels are holding on
to the area and are guarding
it pretty tightly. We heard that
a squadron of Nigerian Army
advance team is heading
there. They might have gotten
news that she is there too so I
think we can just stay and
watch from far.”

Lucas hung up and was
scared where he was. The
plan had gone wrong and he
knew there would be
consequences. He cannot fight
the Nigerians and he can’t
plead for forgiveness so there
was only one thing to do. He
could leave the country and
abandon everything behind.

He got out his phone again
and called someone;

“Hello Marcus, get my wife and
children and meet me at the
helicopter pad along the road
from the river side house. We
have to leave the country
before hell drops on us”
He hung up and sat back into
the car. He already had
enough money in his foreign
account to help him disappear
for a long timeand there were
a lot of places he could buy a
house, sit and claim that he
was overthrown. He was lost
in his thoughts when the car
pulled to a stop. He looked in
front through the windscreen
and could barely see anything
as the cars in front of the car
he was in was blocking them
and then the low visibility did
not help issues at all.

Suddenly, he began to see
shapes emerge from the side
of the road; all of them were
carrying guns. The guard in
the car just in front got down
and attempted to shoot at
them and was gunned down
immediately. The other drivers
of the other cars got down
and got on their knees as they
were surrounded by the men
coming out. They had the cars
behind him and the ones in
front and it looked as though
they were keeping his own
car intact. One of them
approached his car and
opened the driver’s side as
the driver was dragged out
and the men stood guard as if
they were waiting for
someone tocome for him. He
had no gun on him and he
wished he did, he knew it
would do him no good but it
would still make him a little
confidence.

Shortly, a man showed up
from the shadows and walked
towards his car. The men who
had stopped his convoy
seemed to move out of his
way as he saw the man
walked to his car, opened the
back seat and entered the
carto seat down beside Lucas.

Lucas looked at the man’s face
but he could not recognize
him. he said;

“Well now you have my
attention, what do you want?”
The man replied in an accent
Lucas knew immediately was
Nigerian;

“You were given a job to do.
How come you have not
gotten back to us?”

“What job did you give me?”
“I was sent by those who
asked you to keep her in your
house and you could not even
do that. Because of that, you
have made us risk alot and
that is a big issue”

Lucas eyes widened and fear
came back to him at once;
“Look it was not my fault. I did
all I could but Icould not get
her back”

“That does not matter right
now. What matters is that, we
have taken care of the
situation and we have killed
her”
Lucas stammered:

“You you….killed her?”
“We had no choice as they
were getting awayand
because of that, our plans
have changed”

“So what are the plans? Is
there something I can do? He
asked as he was getting
exicted”

“Unfortunately, Mr Lucas, you
don’t fit into the new plans. As
it stands, you are a loose end
and we can’t have that”
Saying that, the man opened
the car and got out.

Lucas wondered what he
meant about being a loosed
end but he looked out of the
window and saw what the
man meant. The men that
came with him took some
steps backwards and they
pointed their guns at thecars
and the drivers.

The last thing Lucas
remembered was the sound
of exploding gunpowder that
caused the sounds of
gunshots and in seconds, he
was dead as scores of bullet
ran into his bodyand those of
the men who were with him.
