********

The whole team assembled in
the bushes some meters away
from the landing strip
andstrained their ears. Before
long, they heard the little
sound of the engines of a little
transport plane approach
from the darkness. The plane
had just few of its lights on to
avoid being seen and the
commandant gave the order
for his men to switch on the
lights of the trucks they had
parked along the strip which
created a guide for the pilot
as he came down and made a
smooth landing.

“Stay here while I check it”
Michael said to his team
members as he climbed out of
where he watched and
walked towards the plane as
the door opened and a man in
civilian clothes got down to
meet him
The man said;

“We were told you needed
transportation out of here sir,
we need to go fast as we
don’t want to risk the naval
warship out there noticing
our presence”

Michael looked at him for a
few more seconds and then
he raised his hands and
waved to Shade and the rest
to come out. Theteam ushered
the president and her aide
towards the plane as the
commandant of the camp also
walked with them and
watched as the whole team
climbed into it. His men had
taken strategic positions
along the surrounding to
make sure the place was safe
and he stood there watching
his guests leave and he
thought to himself;

“With his foolishness, Lucas
has won this war for us”
The landing strip was long
enough for the plane to take
off without turning and
immediately the plane was in
the air, the soldiers on the
ground turned off the
headlights as the plane
disappeared into the darkness

******************************

The drive from the governor’s
office at Alausa to Badagry
was quiet for everyone in the
convoy and as the convoy
approached the ancient city,
the governor tapped his head
of security and said;

“Are you aware of a landing
strip some distance away
from the beach?”

“I am familiar with the place. I
was posted to monitor the
activities of some smugglers
using that place some years
before I was transferred to
guard detail sir”

“Good because that is where
we are heading to. We have to
pick up a very important
message from some people. It
will be better if we stayed
some distance away from
there and when the plane is
on the ground, we can move
in slowly”

The security chief looked back
and said;

“Sir are we treating the
passengers as hostiles or
friendly?”

Kareem hesitated a little and
then said;

“They are not just friendly,
they are to be treated as eggs
and protected from
everyone.Their safety comes
before mine and under
nocircumstance must anyone
know they are in my custody”
