You say the manhunter is good ,you think his actions are justified? He killed my innoc ent five years old daughter and my mom, those two are the most innocent people I know, but look at me, he killed two most precious member of my family yet I have no zeal to kill people, I don’t want to shed blood. I don’t think the Manhunter action is in any case justified, its your choice to be wicked ” The young guy who was crying earlier turned to the philosopher, ” That’s right, no evil action is justified ” Israel added, ” I don’t care who the Manhunter was five years ago, all I care about is what the manhunter is now, a man is not justified by what he was rather by what he his, the Manhunter is evil” Alvana faced the philosopher. ” Hey, just giving my own opinion, as a philosopher that I am, I m….” Matt interrupted, ” philosophy belongs to the ancient Greek, take it away from us” Matt said. ” Am sorry for your loss bro” Alvana told the man who had been crying earlier, ” Am Jason” Alvana told him, ” Call me Stan” the man told introduced himself, ” I am Ken Philip” The Philosopher introduced himself, ” Sounds philosophic” I whispered to Alvana, ” Gabriel ” I introduced myself, ” Matt, and my friend israel” Matt introduced himself and israel, ” I didn’t ask you to introduce me” Israel said, ” Anyways,am Israel, the only man that ha…” I interrupted him, ” He is simply Israel” I told them and we all busted into laughter. ” So what is your aim in port Harcourt? ” Alvana asked the philosopher, ” To get the truth of all these happenings ” the man answered, ” I dont get you” I told him, ” Like, meet the Manhunter and get to the roots of why he is doing all this ” The nan answered, ” You won’t do that, you are as good as dead” Israel said,” Who talks to the Manhunter?” I asked, ” Man, dont try that, save your life, your family needs you” I told him, ” that’s why am a philosopher, take the risk for the people just to get the truth” The man said, ” I bet you, you won’t want to take the risk for the people again when his gun is pointed directly to your head” Matt said, ” There is no harm in trying” The man said, ” That was an old saying” I chipped in . ”

Man, don’t do that, the fact that you are a philosopher is not an excuse to be stupid ” Israel told him, I tried not to laugh. ” What about you guys, wh….” I interrupted Stan, ” Business mission, we are researchers” i told him, ” Wow, I love researchers, what institute do you guys work for?” Stan asked, ” Federal institute for industrial research” Alvana chipped in immediately. ” woww, nice meeting you guys ” Stan said smiling, ” Please fasten your seatbelt, we land in five minutes” Came a voice, I don’t know and don’t care to know wherever it had come from. ” Wooow, thank God for a successful flight” Alvana said, ” Yes, welcome to Port Harcourt guys” I said, “:Gabriel, I dont think you should be welcoming us” Israel said, ” why?” I asked him, ” Because the last time I checked, this is just your first time in port Harcourt ” he said and the rest busted into laughter, is he meant to always disgrace people?.

The plane at last started descending and shout of joy could now be heard from passengers until the plane landed, the first thing I noticed was the big sign board just opposite the side of the plane where I was, ” Welcome To port Harcourt” it read, ”

Let’s get the Manhunter” I murmured as I stood up from my chair, ” Joy, I hope you are fine”I said to myself again as my mind drifted to my wife.
AS NARRATED BY SIR AJAN
I was just about going out of my office that morning when someone barged into it, it was Christiana. ” Christiana , you know, I tried all my best to impact good morals in you for the six years you spent here but all to no avail.

What happens to the part that say, ” Knock before you enter?” I asked her as she stood in front of me with arms akimbo, ” Am sorry sir Ajan but Sir I have a complain ” she said, ” I don’t w….” She interrupted me, ” Sir for six years, have been here as a loyal student, I tried my best to do everything right and then I made a mistake just because I fell in love, I knew it was a mistake but my mistake wasn’t targeted to Newriton, it was just to make Gabriel love me, I knew I was wrong but sir Ajan I am very sorry for it. I have come here many times, times without number to apologize and even gone to beg Gabriel on my own, but what do I get in return? You sent a beginner spy to follow me, Sir Ajan you could have made it more memorable by at least sending someone with experience, am I that cheap that you sent a girl just under a year of training?” She asked me, ” Sir Ajan, please, what can I do to get my trust back? I was wrong and now I feel guilty, I am ready to make up for my mistakes, please sir Ajan trust me , I am sorry” She knelt down. ” What else do you want Christy? We have called you back, we trust you” I told her, ” If you trust me, you wouldn’t send someone to watch my movement , my day in day out…” I had to interrupt her here as tears started streaming down her cheeks, she was one of my good students but as a board member of Newriton, I can’t afford to take any risk. ” Get up and sit down” I told her and she sat drying her tears, ” Christiana, I trust in you , but as you know, just like you guys, am just an ordinary employee in Newriton, I can’t afford to take risk” I told her, ” So I had to watch you” I concluded . ” Sir Ajan, what evidence do you need? Test me, do anything, I am changed” She told me. ” How were you able to get Tonia to be a spy?” I suddenly asked her, ” Those guys, the guys you sent that day to fight her at the airport, they were the same guys you sent to fight me six years ago when you sent me to spy on Jide who was just called back from suspension” she answered, ” I remember their faces and when I saw them fighting with the girl, I knew the girl was to spy on me and I decided to help her just like Jide also helped me that day ” She explained. One quality Christiana has that only few of my spies had was memory, she has the ability to remember things far back, she believes that the best way to acquire knowledge is memory. ” My bad, I shouldn’t have sent those same two” I told her, ” Please sir Ajan, trust me this once” she begged. ” Get up, you are forgiven ” I said standing up, ” Sir” she said with a smile, ” Welcome back” I told her again as she jumped on me , ” That’s an offence o” I said , ” Am sorry sir, I am just over whelmed ” she answered , ” Go and prepare, there might be a mission soon” i smiled and she smiled back, ” Now run away” I told her as she bounced out of my office.
