The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 93

*******

The governor walked to the
stage with the president and
they both stood in front of
them. he took a deep breath
and spoke into the
microphone;
“I know this is unusual as you
are expecting someone else
but this press conference is a
lot more important and I will
advise that you put it through
as a lot of people would want
to hear this too.”

He paused and looked around
the room in the midst of the
flashing cameras as hushed
whispers as calls were made
by the reporters.

He continued;
“Ladies and gentlemen of the
press, I present to you the
Commander in Chief of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria”
Kareem stepped back a little
while the President walked
forward to the microphone
and she felt a cold shiver run
up her spine. She could not
afford to look sideways to her
aide for support and the
flashes from the cameras
stuck her eyes. She was used
to this sort of treatment but
she was sticky with sweat and
she knew her hair was out of
place. Her clothes were dirty
and for some reason, she felt
she was not too confident.

The room was noisy and she
could not seem to find her
voice and so she coughed into
themicrophones and the
room fell into a silence and
she started talking;

Shade closed the door and
pulled the girl towards her.
She placed the laptop into her
backpack as she hurried
down the way them came
though and was frequently
looking back to ensure that
the girl was behind her. She
got to the stair and she told
her;

“Just climb down and I will be
right behind you” The girl
climbed down then Shade
came after her. At the bottom
of the wall, where they had
left the cart, she dug out her
communicator and dialed
tried contacting the Minister
of Defense. The line did not go
through the first time and she
tried again and at the same
time, she instructed the girl to
climb into the cart and she got
in after her

The call got connected and
she heard Kuyi’s voice
“What is going on?” he said
with his voice maintaining his
usual calmness

“Sir, we have gotten the girl
and I am on my way back to
with her”

And the mention of her
daughter, Ifeoma jumped;
“Can I speak with her now? is
she right there with you?”

I am looking at her now and
she is secured ma’am, we are
about to make the journey
back with the cart so it is no
problem”
Kuyi asked;
“Did agent Michael give you
anything to give to us?”

“He gave me a laptop to take
back”

“Keep that with you and don’t
let it fall in the wrong hands
agent Shade”

Ifeoma was suddenly startled;
“What do you mean he gave
you a laptop, is he not coming
back with you?”

“He said he was on a
sanctioned mission inside the
house, Izu and IBK
volunteered to go with him
and I was instructed to take
your daughter to safety and
also bring the laptop”

Ifeoma tried to keep calm and
she said;

“Okay agent Shade, just get
my daughter to safety”

When the line went off,
Ifeoma looked at Quadri and
said;
“What other mission do they
have inside the house?”

Kuyi answered her;
“You do realize that we can’t
leave the house. We sent the
men in as part of an advance
team of men to take back the
presidential palace”

“At what cost? That place will
be crawling with security
forces and they might lose
their lives”

Kuyi said;
“They know the risks and
stakes involved in this. Michael
was told that there would be
no extraction team for him
and his team”

“So you sent him and his team
members to their death?”
