The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 89

********

As the convoy pulled into the
governor’s office, a thought
began to creep into the
governor’s mind. He saw no
reason why the issue should
be kept a secret as that could
be used against her politically
and also describedas a lack of
will or incompetence on her
part but he weighed it as they
decided to hold up calling a
press conference until the
could have gotten Ifeoma’s
daughter. The more he
thought about it, the more
risky it got in his head as he
began to see that if those
who were planning the coup
suspects that she is in his
company, they might just try
to eliminate him too and claim
that he was part of the plot to
kill her or find some lie to
justifyan attack on his office.

He looked at the president
who had begun to drift into a
sleep and he shook her;
“I think we are making a
mistake ma’am”
She looked at him with sleep
in her eyes and said;
“What mistake?”
“If we decide to wait until
Ifeoma gets her daughter out,
we might be allowing
ourselves lose the opportunity
to seize the moment when we
can. If the military knows you
are with me, a simple air
strike on my office will ensure
that no one else knows but if
you appear in front of
cameras on live television to
tell the whole world that there
has been a coup, to ensure
your safety”

“But how about her
daughter?”

“They already have a team on
its way to get her: and you
have already shown
confidence in them which
means they are efficient so we
can trust them”

By this time, the cars had all
entered the garage and as the
security team gathered
around the cars while the
drivers did not come down
and no one attempted to
come near any of the cars
“So what do you think we
should do?”

“We call a press conference
right now. It will take less
than five minutes to put you
in frontof cameras. It might
not be live as we won’t tell
them why we are calling it but
I can assure you that
immediately you get in front
of them, it will go live”

“But what do I say?”
“The president’s aide looked
back from her seat and said;
“You tell the truth and ask for
support from the people. They
voted you in and they need to
defend their votes once
again”

she looked towards Kareem
who nodded his head in
agreement and said:
“I am concerned about
Ifeoma’s daughter”
Kareem said;
“The girl is my niece, I love her
as much as I love my kids but
the country is more important
right now and we cannot
afford togamble with the
country’s security over one
person”

The president looked at her
aide, at Kareem and said;
“Okay how long will it get you
to arrange them?”

Kareem looked at his watch
and said;
“Just enough time for you to
change your clothes and
freshen up”
Her aide said;
“How are you going to explain
the makeup and new clothes?
If she is really going through
what she is about to tell them,
she needs to retain her look
and they will understand
better what she is doing and
why”

“Okay I will do the press
conference, arrange it”
Kareem pulled out his phone
and called someone. When it
connected he said;
“Listen carefully, I don’t care
how you do this,I am at the
garage right now and I want
you to set up a press
conference in the time it will
take me to walk to the
conference room”

The voice replied;
“That is easy, the chief of staff
was supposed to meet with
the press at 7am today and
theyhave already set up their
equipment so just walk on
and we will have it done”
Kareem hung up and said;
“Peter. We need to get out of
this car and head to the
conference room, I hope you
realize that some of your men
might be compromised so we
need those you trust most for
security and we need to do
that fast”
Peter did not reply, he simply
brought out his
communicator and said;
“I will need 3, 4 and 6 for
escort. The rest of you can get
out of your car and go wait at
the lounge”

Suddenly all the drivers came
down from the cars and they
all walked away except three
ofthem who walked towards
the Governor’s car.
