The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 87

********

Ifeoma looked towards Kuyi
and said;
“Okay Kareem might give us
some time to work inside the
house so we need those boys
to move and move fast. It is
almost 6am which gives them
less than two hours to get in
and get her to safety”

“Well that’s true. I am already
setting up a communication
link with the Palace guards
down there. Let me link you
up with them”

“Agent Michael, where are you
right now?”

Michael’s voice sounded a little
skeptical as hesaid;
“Sir we are staring down a
very dark hole and we are
waiting for their explanations.

I thought we will be going
straight to the Palace through
the gates, no one mentioned
tunnels”
Quadri said;
“You can go through the
gates but be assured that you
will be dead before you get
past the first gate. My men are
reporting an increase in the
security in the house and on
the orders of the Vice
President, my men and I have
been relieved so we can’t
sneak you in,which means
you will have to go in stealth
mode. Remember you mission
and stick to it. The house is
actually bigger than you think
soI will stick to the Palace
guards with you. They know
their way more”

“I wish you luck men.” Kuyi
said as he looked at Ifeoma’
anxious face

Shade looked around as
everyone was looking down
into the hole in the ground
and she said;
“The first person to say ladies
first gets a punch in the face”
The commander who not
seem to get the joke as he got
down the hole and started to
climb down while the others
formed a sort of ring around
them to shield to hide them
from view. The other watched
him as he went down and
when he got there, he, he did
something and they could see
a light source coming from
under the ground. They could
see the tunnel well from the
top and they saw that it was a
well cut out hole in the
ground and on one side, there
was a stairs they coulduse to
go down.

Izu went first down the tunnel
as he was the lightest of the
team and then IBK and Shade.

When they had gone, three
agents from the Palace Guards
went down the tunnel to meet
them and then Michael went
in last. Immediately Michael hit
the bottom of the dry tunnel,
the top was replace from the
top and the truck which held
the weapons came backand
covered it up.

The tunnel was not too far
from the surface and after the
mouth which appeared small,
they all discovered that it was
wide at the bottom and it
stretched down in front of
them into the dark. The light
that the commander had
switched on only seemed to
work for the vertical tunnel as
the front was just as black as
night and for a while, IBK
started to feel the
temperature increase nd the
air was very stale
“When the mission is over,
you can reach the people on
the surface on channel one on
the communicator so they will
open it as it is mostly opened
from outside for security
reasons. It can also be open
from inside too but that
would involved you pulling
this lever”he pointed a huge
red level that hung to the back
of the cylindrical hole. “By
pulling that lever, it powers a
switch which forces the cover
to pop open.”

“What of the truck parked on
top, how does that move?”
Michael asked
“The lever operates a trap
door which moves the ground
on which the truck stands so
both the truck and cover
moves. I am hoping that
would not be necessary as
that would increase the
chances of people realizing
that something like that exists
here and someone might get
curious enough to check it
out”

“Okay thanks for the
orientation, now let’s get
going.” Shade said
The commander led them into
the dark tunnel for a few feet
using a torch light in his hand,
he located another lever, he
pulled it down and the tunnel
was illuminated to show a
very way ahead of them. The
tunnel was so long, the end
was out of sight as it
converged after some
distance
“How are we supposed to
make it through that today?”
Michael said

The commander pointed to a
cart sitting in front of them
and said;
“You don’t actually expect
anyone to walk that distance
do you? The tunnel’s exit had
to be somewhere far from the
House so if the president got
out, she will be some distance
away from hurt in the case of
a coup as they would focus on
the House”

Izu looked at the cart which
had enough seats for all of
them and said;

“How fast does this goes?”
“We will be under the House
in a matter of single digit
minutes”
