The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 74

*********

The president broke into a
round of laughter that could
have woken everyone else
“Do you know Quadri?”
“I don’t think I am familiar
with that name”
“He is the commandant of the
Palace Guards and quiet a fine
gentleman if not that he is too
serious more than half the
time”
Michael said;

“Well go on, I am listening but
I hope it is not some
Presidential scandal I am not
supposed to know off”
“It is not so scandalous. So
there was this event at the big
house and there was a lot of
alcohol going around and
when the guests left, I
decided to indulge myself in a
little drink. Not much, but a
little bit to take the edge off
and I got drunk. Then I
started talking a lot of crap
and walking around in circles
around the conference room:
they rarely allow me go
everywhere in the house
anyway”
Michael nodded
“I can understand that”
“So my aides came to inform
me that I should be getting
some rest and well, I was in
no mood for bed so I ignored
them, started playing music
and dancing. The next thing I
knew, Quadri came in and told
his men to help me to my
room with him behind them.
We entered and for some
reason, I broke free from
them fell into his arms. He
picked me up like I was a
piece of paper and the next
thing I knew, I was in a lip
lock with him. You should
have seen his face as my aides
we shocked and even the
guards could not do anything.

He avoided me for days as he
could not look me in the eye, I
think he felt something but he
has work ethics and can’t go
against them”
Michael did not believe he just
heard what she told him as he
simply kept quiet.
“Don’t tell me I bored you to
sleep agent Michael”
“No you did not; I just don’t
have a reply to that”
“Well I was not expecting one.
I know how you security
types are and I don’t expect
you to break protocol, I just
think you are too worried and
I thought of taking your mind
off work and perhaps help
you realize that you can’t keep
your feelings bottled in
forever”
He answered thoughtfully;
“Yes ma’am”

***************************
Ifeoma kept her eyes on the
screen monitoring the plane’s
route and Kuyi noticed it.

“You won’t make it go any
faster that it is already going
Ifeoma; you should try to get
a little rest before they come.
We still need the perfect
moment to break the news to
everyone else and we need to
know the people trying to kill
her”

“I am just bothered and
excited at the same time but I
guess you are right. If Kareem
has her at safe at the
governor’s office, we can
arrange a press conference
and she would address it.

With that, everyone has to fall
into order”

“And the coup plotters?”
“We start with the NSA and
then Lucas and we can follow
the bread crump from there”
She heard a familiar ring and
found out that it was her
phone. She looked at it and it
read the COAS which meant
Chief of Army staff.

Shebrought out the phone
and showed Kuyi the phone
and who called her. kuyi said;
“Why don’t you answer it and
hear what he has to say?”
“I don’t want to talk to him”
“Just answer and listen”
She put her finger on the
receive button and put the
phone on speaker;
“Hello general, what can I do
for you”

Buba’s voice came across but
it was cold and serious;
“Good morning Ifeoma”
Ifeoma was shocked. No one
in the cabinet calls her by
name except Kuyi and he only
does that when they are alone
“Excuse me General; did you
just call me Ifeoma?”
“Well let’s cut the crap, where
are you?”

“Where I am should not be
your concern. I am trying to
get some things done and you
should be worrying about
what happened with the
president like you are
supposed to”
“We both know what
happened with the president”
Ifeoma was a little puzzled;
“What do you mean I know
what happened?”

Buba hesitated a little and
said;

“I know you are with that
mad man Kuyi and I know the
president is alive”

Ifeoma felt her heart skip a
beat but she maintained her
composure

“General, I don’t know what
you are talking about and you
should learn to talk with
respect to other people”
