“I hope you told them that we
have some men and they
should not be hurt?”

“The team has Segun, one of
our most decorated and
recognized men with them.

The hunters should see him
from a mile away. Plus they
have also been told so have
no fear”

Ifeoma wated to say
something else when her
phone rang. She looked at it
and at first and then she
brought it out and looked at
thecaller Identity.

“it’s Kareem” she said aloud
and she threw it to Kuyi and
Kuyi immediately connected it
to the loud speaker before
answering it

“Mr Governor, Kuyi here; is
there a problem?”

Kareem seemed kind of
shaken to Ifeoma butshe
waited and listen as she learnt
that it wasalways good to
allow people get to what is
bothering them by themselves
as they tend tocover all the
angles that way

“There is no problem here.
Where is Ifeoma?”
“I am here Kareem” Ifeoma
said

“Okay, what is the situation?
Have you gotten your
daughter to safety?”
“Kuyi looked towards Ifeoma
and she said;

“She has been rescued and is
resting in a secured location.
She was also not touched
orhurt in anyway”

“Okay that’s great but
something weird just
happened here”
“Now we are getting to it”
Ifeoma thought
“What’s going Kareem” Kuyi
asked

“General Buba Rask called me
just now”

At the mention of that name,
Ifeoma almost jumped from
her seat and even Quadri who
seemed uninterested put
down the little mobile device
he was using to track the
movement of the head
hunters and listened
“What did he say?” Kuyi asked

“He asked me to release the
president to him. He said
some of his men will be
coming to the Governor’s
office right now and I should
hand her over to them”
“What did you tell him?”
Quadri asked
“I told him to eat my
backside”
“You used those words?” Kuyi
asked not believing what he
heard

“Of course not” Kareem
answered
“Where is your family?”
Ifeoma asked.” Hope you have
taken steps to make them
secured”

“That was one of the first
things I did”
“So how did the conversation
end?” He hung up, seems
someone was disturbing him
where he was. Anyway, I
recorded some parts of the
conversation and I am
sending it to you right now. it
might come in useful to you”
“Okay Kareem, send it in. we
can use everything we can
find right now. By the
way,how is the president
doing?” Kuyi said

“She has been sleeping since
the press conference. There
are guards all over the house
and the roads so it is pretty
secured. No one is going to
touch her in here”

“Okay send the conversation, I
am thankful for this and I
assure you, it will be over
soon” Ifeoma said

The phone was disconnected
and Quadri said;

“What does this mean?”
“It could mean a lot of things
but right now, we have to
trust the teams we sent in to
do the job for us” Ifeoma said


*****************************************
Michael smiled at Buba and
said;

“I am the one leading the
team you sent your men to kill
in Tetuan general and this is
my revenge on you”

“You still have but figured out
how to get you, your men and
the people you arrested out of
this house without being shot
in the head by my guards”
Michael opened his mouth to
say something when they
heard a thud on the door
behind them. they all turned
towards it and then there was
another thud as it was clear
that someone from the
outside was trying to break
their way through inside the
conference hall the thuds then
came more frequently and
suddenly the doors flew
opened and a bunch of
soldiers in red caps walked in
with their weapons drawn.

Izu instinctively raised his gun
and planted his foot on the
ground as he got ready to
firebut he heard Segun”s
voice

“What is going on here? How
did you boys get in?”

“We were sent in by the
Commandant to secure the
house and give you support
sir”

You know these guys?” IBK
asked

“These are part of a
presidential rescue team”
Segun answered “So what’s
the statusof the house right
now?”

“We have some hostiles still
walking and resisting but we
have managed to gain
majorparts of the complex
and we have air support. We
also have some ground troops
from the barracks pouring in
so in a matter of minutes, the
house should be completely
ours”

Michael looked at Buba and said “You were asking how we would get you out, well we have a whole load of trucks prepared, and all you have to do is pick one. I have to make a call to the minister of defense and tell her all this is over.
***************************************** Five days later, most of the events had settled from and the country had started picking itself up from the ground. there were arrests going taking place from all corners as people who were part of the coup were arrested. The investigation was lead by a joint task force lead by Kuyi and the DMI as most of the issues fell into military jurisdiction and he was the only one trusted enough to take over the investigations. The Presidential jet was flown back into the country the morning the crises was resolved and along with it was Dare and a lot of other soldiers who had been part of the plans to kill the president in Tetuan while a platform was set in motion for the resolution of the civil war in Tetuan and the Nigerian peacekeepers were given another mandate which was to ensure that both parties continue negotiationand to make sure armed groups don’t rise anymore. There were massive reconstruction works to restore the presidential villa to its state while the vice President was impeached through a unanimous vote by the senate. The president decided to wait for sometime before she chose one but she top on the list was the Lagos state governor. Kareem had sat down in his office thinking of ways to convince investors into the Eko Atlantic City project that the country is stable when his phone rang “Hello” “This is the President mr Governor” “Oh Good morning, how are you doing ma’am?” “I am fine” “So why are you calling me?” “As you are aware, I will be needing a new vice president and I could not think of anyone else but you to take the job” Kareem was both flattered and honored “Me? Do you realize that we are from different political parties? And if I should agree, I would have to quit my office and alsomy party?” “I am aware of that but I am sure that is a small price to pay” Kareem though fo a while and then said; “It is actually not a small price ma’am, you see ,I a looking at going for the post of president I the next election on my party and being your vice would not really work well for my ambitions” “I completely understand. So we are back to being political enemies and attacking one another in public?” she asked “We never stopped being that ma’am,

***************************************** Ifeoma had gotten used to shuffling betweengoing from the defense headquarters to the DMI headquarters as she wanted to get update herself. Kuyi had proven to be good atquestioning. Of course some of the methods were not approved by her but a lot of the people he was questioning could never be tried inside a court as they know too much and so they did not simply exist. Quadri had disappeared immediately the president touched down in Abuja as he made sure he did not leave her side. He personally ran her security and a suite at the Transcorp Hilton was converted into the Presidential villa until the House was completed. She also realized that some of those who planned the events could not be caught because they don’t know about them and sheraised it up with Kuyi and Kuyi simply said; “As long as there are people like you who areready to guard the existence and continual ofwhat’s right, they will remain in the shadows.A rise of the guardians will have been seen bythose who might want to cause trouble and Ican bet they would not want us to unleash our fury on them” That made her smiled as she had never knew Kuyi to be philosophical. As she rode back to her office with Charles driving, she looked up towards the sun and smiled”
