Previously on the Ruthless Alexandra.

“kill them all Alex, be ruthless” gradually his voice faded off.

“I believe in you” were his last words and he went still motionless.

Alexandra wails doubled with a soul shattering cry that reverberated and shook the building.

She stood up picking the small book on the messed floor and opened it.

Episode Eight.

SA Amidu sat on a swivel chair in his office.

Everything had been arranged and it seemed in order. He had it taken care of by his assistant, Cole.

He heaved a sigh of frustration as he remembered that the DG would arrive in less than thirty minutes.

He only got two leads which weren’t solid and might get him no where.

He had run a search on the face defragmentator engine but the computerized voice kept saying ‘match not found’.

He was only left with the finger prints which he hoped and pray would be a concrete lead.

The door suddenly opened startling him. Cole poked his head in.

“The DG is here” He announced.

SA Amidu stared at him for a brief moment before the statement materialized in his brain.

“Omg!” he exclaimed.

“Don’t worry boss, I got this” Cole said and left.

Amidu hit the table with his clenched fist. He stood up, adjusted his suit and walked out of the office, heading to the conference room.

Amidu stepped out of the elevator door as it clicked open and walked into the conference room.

DSS top agents and team leaders assembled in the huge conference room. All seated on seats respectively reserved for them except Amidu; he stood facing the DG who read the reports submitted to him.

The DG rarely summons emergency meetings and each time time he did, there was trouble. His silence kept the agents tensed and edgy. So far, he hadn’t uttered any word.

The DG suddenly cleared his throat and all eyes were focused on him.

“I’m not at all, impressed by your reports” He began. “with your investigations so far, you could only come up with finger prints and obscured images.”

“Sir!” Cole raised his index finger attracting the DG’s attention.

“Yes Cole, what do you have to say”. The DG summoned him.

“The finger prints weren’t just any prints. After running a thorough test, I found out it was the finger prints of Desmond Elliott”.

Everybody murmured on hearing the name and the DG hushed them to be quiet.

Everywhere became silent and Cole continued.

“Apparently, Desmond Elliot was murdered twenty years ago and it has been buried in fog of history.” Cole finished and sat down. Then, the DG turned on the big smart computer. Images of Desmond Elliot flooded the computer screen.

“A dead man?” the DG asked.

“Someone is using his prints” A young female agent suggested.

“Then, the question is who?” A male agent said.

“That’s your mission, find out who did this” the DG said. “meeting dismissed, SA Amidu stay behind”

That was it, Amidu knew this was coming. A self interrogation with the DG and he wasn’t at all prepared for it.

Amidu watched as the other agents departed the conference room and lastly Cole, who left with a wink; enjoy it while it last.

“Amidu” The DG called as soon as everyone has evacuated the room and both walked into the inner chamber of the conference room.

Amidu nodded, his mouth seemed too weighthy to talk.

“Have your seat” the DG motioned him to sit down.

Amidu drew a chair and sat on it, facing the DG. A table with piles of document demarcated them.

“The Deputy Governor had asked me to change you if you are dormant” the DG said, looking straight into his eye.

Amidu flinched and quickly composed himself.

“But I believe you’re good” the DG continued. “your previous hand-held cases proved that. So, that’s why am still entrusting you with this case, handle it like your life depended on it. This may be your last chance.”

“Yes sir, thank you sir”

“The kidnapper is still out there on the loose. Who knows? Governor Martins might be dead now”

“I’ll do everything in my capacity as the Special Agent to nab the perpetrator.

Whoever kidnapped Governor Martins would be brought to justice.” Amidu pledged.

“Good, so take the bull by its horn and let me know if you get any new development.”

“Okay sir”

The DG stretched out his hand for a handshake. Amidu took his hand in his as they shook hands.
