*******

Kareem got out of the room to
find one of hissecurity team
sitting on a chair and dozing.
Kareem looked at him and
shook his head sadly as he
thought within himself;

“The type of security we have
these days” there is always
security posted at his door
whether he has company or
not but the one sleeping right
there did not give him any
faith in his security team and
what he just heard about the
president did not help his
feelings at all. He waited at the
door until he saw his aide
emerge from his room and
walked towards him. The aide
looked at the security sleeping
and shook his head as he
woke him up with a slight
kick
The guard jumped to his feet
and saluted while the
governor simply walked on
and he told the aide;
“Get the chief of security I
want to talk to him” and he
started to walk down the
corridor
The aide brought out his
communicator as he struggled
to dial the number of the
security chief and catching up
with his boss. The line was
connected and he said;

“The governor needs to have
a word with you”

He got to the governor’s side
and handed him the device.
The governor said;
“Where are you?”
“I am on the premises sir. Do
you need something sir?”
“I have an urgent need to go
somewhere and I will need
the most trusted of your men
to come with us”

“You already have them sir,
where are we going?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t tell you
right now but I will need
about six cars and I will need
you t ocollect the phones of
the team that will be driving
us cars as I don’t want them
to being contact with anyone”

The security chief was already
used to odd requests and
none of the security team of
thegovernor was allowed to
carry a phone while with him.
He said;

“Sir none of them carry their
phone while with you so that
would not be necessary but I
would run it by them again”

The governor said;
“Make sure they are armed
and ready to go right now. I
am coming downstairs right
now”

The governor hung up and
pointed the phone to the aide
who said;

“What is in Badagry that
deserves our attention right
now sir?”

“I am sorry I cannot answer
that question right now. All
you should know is that we
are going there and we have
no time to waste”

They walked down out of the
building and they saw a fleet
of cars already assembled and
the chief waiting beside the
cars. The chief came to the
governor’s side and said;
“This is what you requested
for sir”

The governor looked at the
cars which were all SUVs and
none of them was his official
car.

“Where is my official car?”
“Since your demands was odd
and the manner you said it, I
thought it would be better if
we did not go with your
official car so people will still
think you are here sir. No
need letting anyone know
where you are if you don’t
want them to”

“How long does it take to get
to Badagry?”

“It depends on where we are
going there sir”

The governor brought out his
phone and checked the
location of the strip Ifeoma
had sent to him and he
answered;
“I am heading to a the beach,
do you know the place?”

“I believe I do sir. It will take
us about two hours to get
there”

Kareem shook his head in
disagreement;

“We have just seventy five
minutes to get there or we
might miss it”

“We can get you there in that
time sir, judging from the fact
that the roads will be free at
this time, I see no reason why
not but are you going to tell
me why we are heading to
the beach right now?”

Kareem hesitated for some
seconds weighing his options
and said;

“I think I will rather keep that
to myself for now. When we
get you will find out for
yourself but I hope I don’t
have to tell you that secrecy is
very important here”

Kareem’s aide looked around
and said;

“Where is the ambulance
attached to his convoy? You
know he is always goes out
with it in case an accident
happens”

The governor answered
before the security chief could
answer. Looking at him he
said;

“We need to be at that beach
within that time no matter
what happens. In the event of
an accident, the remaining
members of this convoy are to
move on and not stop for
anything: it does not matter if
the car I am in is the one
which is involved. This is more
than me here. Do you
understand me?”
