” I think we should drop our guns in the car” Alvana suggested , ” so they won’t suspect anything” He added when we gave him that why look. ” Okay, nice point” I said dropping my small pistol in the car, ” Now let’s move ” Alvana said and we walked into the woods of the jungle. ” I pray we get In free” Matt muttered and almost immediately, a guy jumped down from a tree. ” I thought as much” I said to Alvana, ” We are sure you remember us” Alvana smiled, ” Yes we do and sure, we don’t want to get beaten today” the guy also smiled as he made way for us to pass. ” Thanks, you are smarter than I had underrated you” Israel patted him as we passed him, ” But sir Ajan isn’t around, he left Newriton about two days ago” He told us, ” We know, he sent us ” I said as we moved on. ” That was more easy than I thought” Matt said, ” Sir Ajan will have to regret ever training us as spies now” Israel added . We had gotten to the spots where bikes were kept, there are always hidden bikes at some strategic point in the jungle, only those of Newriton knew where the bikes were. ” Okay, Off we go” I shouted as I zoomed off so also did the rest. We got to the base centre of Newriton and alighted, parking the bikes anyhow we pleased. ” No time to waste ” Israel said as he ran into the I.c.t unit , we followed. The I.C.T unit is a big building having only one door leading to a big room being controlled by just one person, it formerly used to be Young Carl but after the discovery that he helped in implicating Alvana, he was arrested and a New girl, Gwen was employed. The computer engineer lives in the I.C.T unit, the is an apartment for her in the unit where she have everything she might need. ” How do we open the door?” Matt asked, ” Anyhow we can, violence” Alvana said as he increased his pace towards the electrically controlled door to the I.C.T room and gave it a flying kick, there was no change in the position of the door. ” That won’t open it” I said, ” Just believe, Bend down” Alvana said and I bent with my back upwards, ” Israel form a step on him” he said and Israel bent in a step manner followed by Matt. ” Wait” I told him before he gave another flying kick, ” Hand me the phone, you might get it spoilt ” I said and he handed the phone to me, ” I can do this” he muttered, ” Yes Van, you can do it ” Israel backed up as Alvana advanced backwards, with all the speed he could mutter he ran towards us. He climbed me first, then Israel and finally Matt and after that he did the big jump, the highest flying kick height I have ever seen he hit the door with his leg and the door made a small creek,


Alvana fell to the floor weakly and helplessly, ” Alvana!!” Israel shouted as we ran towards him, ” You guys should try open the door” He held my hand, ” You already done that ” I said lifting him up, he couldn’t stand as his leg seem to be injured. ” Matt , help him” I told Matt, Matt held him and helped him in walking. I gave the door one more kick and it came open, ” I think they should try improve on everything in Newriton ” Matt said as we walked into the big hall, it was a surprise no one was there. ” Is this place meant to be empty?” I asked them as we walked further into the hall, ” What do you guys want?” A feminine voice asked, we turned back and a girl with a gun pointed at us came out from behind a network of computers, ” This is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen” Matt whispered to me.


” Am Gabriel” I said advancing towards Gwen, ” I don’t Care who you are, just stay where you are if you don’t want me to pull the trigger ” she threatened, ” You and I know you can’t pull it, we are four and just you, we come in peace. ” I told her still moving towards her, ” What do you guys want? I don’t know who you guys are” She said with her hands vibrating, ” If this will make you alright, we were once students here” I told her showing her the mark of Newriton on my wrist, ” Daniel was once also a student here, but he betrayed Newriton on the long run” She told me still pointing the gun at us. ” Wow , you have heard of Daniel, haven’t you heard of Gabriel, Matt, Alvana , and Israel?” I asked her, ” why should you always call my name last?” Israel shouted from behind, ” Yes, I have heard of them but I don’t know them” she dropped the gun down this time, ” Then, sorry to shock you, am Gabriel, and they are the rest of them” I pointed to my friends, ” I Don’t still believe you, if you guys are the good guys you say you are, you shouldn’t have broken the door, you could have used your cards” She pointed the gun at me again, ” And what should we have done when our cards is no where to be found?” Matt asked still holding Alvana, ” How do you mean your cards are no where to be found?” She asked, ” That is why we are here” Alvana told her, ” we need your help” Israel added. ” Am not fu-Cking helping you guys until I am assured that you guys are really what you say you are” She said, ” Okay, I got my code offhand, you can check my profile” I told her, ” Better” she said advancing towards a small desktop, ” Your code?” She asked, ” ****” I gave it to her . ” Gabriel Omiyi, came in 2011 set, graduated 2017, trained with knife and gun, okay, I believe you now” She said looking away from the desktop to face us. ” You can check mine also” Matt moved towards her still holding Alvana, ” There is no need for that, so how may I help you guys?” She asked, ” We need you to help us track where this number called from?” I handed over the phone to her, ” Who owns the number?” She asked, ” An enemy, a friend to the Manhunter, he had been using the number to communicate with the Manhunter, we can get the Manhunter through him” Alvana said. ”


Am not helping you guys because I want to but because the Manhunter is also my enemy” She said facing the desktop, ” Stop sounding tough and do this for us” Matt said placing his left hand on the desk, ” You are not a gentle man” she said punching the keypad of the desktop. ” Just give me about five minutes” She said still punching the keypad. ” You can have ten minutes” Matt said, Alvana smiled. ” Okay, this number called from the old abandoned catholic building about 700m from here” She smiled handing me back the phone, ” Thank you” I said as I collected the phone and turned towards the door, ” Would you mind coming with us?” Matt asked her, ” Matt, have told you not to ask a girl out the first day you meet her” Israel told him, Gwen laughed. ”


Goodnight ” Alvana said, ” Yeah, Goodnight and please make sure you get the Manhunter, shut the door behind you” She told us as we walked out. ” Okay, old catholic building” I said as we walked out of the I.C.T unit, ” I can walk now” Alvana told Matt, ” I had been expecting you to say that” Matt said dropping him. We went back to where out bikes were parked, I had to carry Alvana on my bike, though he can walk, his keg wasn’t very strong yet. ” Off we go” Israel said and we Zoomed off to the entrance of the jungle. We got there in no time and we Parked the bikes in their strategic points before walking out of the total jungle.

AS NARRATED BY ADANNA
Life seem to be totally unfair, I had once pictured life as a bed of rose, or thought life would be a bed of rose if I finally get married to the guy of my dream, Gabriel , but it is not so. Firstly, my husband and I have never had a rosy marriage, it was from one day of Quarrel to another day of argument, we never flowed along. Let’s take that aside, I am now being held captive for something I have no clue of, something I know nothing about, something that has to do with Gabriel and some other guys I don’t know. I don’t even know if my husband is dead or alive , don’t know what part of the world he is, don’t know anything. It’s true what I had heard one of the wicked guys say, I don’t know the guy I got married to, we live together for sometime now but never for once have I been to where he works, I only know he has chemists around which is being controlled by his employees. I have never bothered to go deep into the life of my husband, all what I know about him is that he is my husband. I only pray I make it out of this to meet him alive, there are a lot of things we need to fix. ” Sir Ajan, it seems you are scared, are you scared that your boys will come kill you?” Morgana asked the old restless man laughing, he had been restless for some hours now, he didn’t even bother to sleep, none of us slept, who sleeps in danger? ” No, am not, am only thinking about the best way to kill you if they find us” The old man told her with an evil smile.
