The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 67

☆☆

******
The commandant and Michael
walked out of the tent while
the president was on the
phone with Ifeoma. She had
run the plans by her and
assured her that in hours, she
would be back home but she
did not tell him that the Vice-
President was to be sworn in
her place neither did she tell
her that she had been
declared dead by the army
who were supposed to go get
her.

When they finished
discussing, Ifeoma said;
“Let me get off now and see
what Kuyi is up to and she
hung up”

She walked to the door of the
room to where Charles had
been standing all through
their conversation and she
peeped trying to see if she
could find Kuyi anywhere but
she could not. She looked at
Charles and said;

“Do you have any idea where
he went?”
Charles said;

“He is in that room over
there”

“Okay”
She still held on to the phone
which was a savior to her and
she walked out of the
roomand in the direction of
where Charles had pointed at.
Charles walked behind her
lookingto the left and right
but leaving some distance
between the both of them.

Ifeoma noticed that Charles
was behind her and she was
to an extent grateful for that.
She wondered if he had ever
been approached tobetray her
and that thought got her
worried. Who knows who had
been compromised andwhat
people are planning against
her? But she knew one thing,
there will be a lot of questions
to answer when the whole
episode is over and a lot of
heads are going to roll. She
just hoped that the plan goes
according to plan.

She got to the room Kuyi was
in and she could not hear
voices from outside, there
wasno space at the edge so
she could not know if there
was light in there or not. She
knocked at the door and it
opened inwards to some sort
of command centre with five
monitors on the wall each of
them showing maps. One was
showing a map of Tetuan
with a red spot to show
where the camp was and a
green one to show where the
plane would land.

Another displayed a map of
the West African sub-region
and the rest just showed
differentangle of the terrain
between the camp and the
landing strip. Kuyi was alone
on one of the seats inside the
room and was alone except
for the young person who
opened the door for her. she
stepped in and Charles came
after her, the guard moved to
allow her and he stood
between the room and the
door when Charles stepped
forward.

“Allow him pass Kuyi said,

there is no way he will let her
out of his sight anyway”
He looked at Ifeoma as Charles
stepped in and the door
closed and said;

“Where did you get this guy?”
“Who?” she replied with a
puzzled face

“Your bodyguard: I might
need him around here. Loyalty
is something I value a lot”
“Send a message to the Navy;
I am sure they have a lot of
them around”

“I am sure they do.”
“So what’s the plan?” Ifeoma
asked

“The plane has left Liberia and
is heading towards Tetuan.

Let’s hope the NNS Owuro
does not pick it up or you will
have to call the Navy and pull
ranks with them with might
just make the whole military
suspicious of what we are up
to”

Ifeoma looked at the screens
and saw that on one of the
screens, there was a dot
which was moving over
Liberia

“So we are going to be
watching them make the trip.

Have you thought of where to
bring them once they land in
the country”?

Kuyi looked at her and said;
“The plane would be landing
at the Airport in Abuja and I
intend to drive her straight to
herhouse in Aso Rock”

“That would not be a problem
except that if this conspiracy
is deeper that we thought,
wewould be delivering her
into the hands of those who
want her dead. The team in
Tetuan already said some of
the men acted against them
so who knows who else.

Buba might be against her and with
him goes the army”

Kuyi saw wisdom in what she
said;

“So where do you want to
take her?”
Ifeoma smiled and said;
“Let me call in a favor” as she
brought out her phone,
retrieved a number and dialed
it

“What do you mean call in a
favor? We cannot risk the
security of this”

Ifeoma looked at him and for
the first time in a long while
he saw her smile;

“You have your friends Kuyi
and I have mine”
