Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 14

Case #5: Dispossession

Flexion never KNEW of his father’s assets before he died. He was under-age then.After his father’s death, his uncle took over his father’s properties. Oneday, he was sweeping his uncle’s room when he chanced on his father’s house document. His father’s name was boldly written on it.

When he asked his uncle about it, he only took the document from him and forced him out of the house. He become a vagabond until Tat gang found him.

[Mike’s Point of view]

Among the five cases, it was the Case #5 that appealed to me the most and if you have been following my story from the beginning, you will understand why.

Since I was personally attached to case number five I decided to take part in that operation for two main reasons. The first one was because it was similar to my own case, except for the fact that the one who drove him out of the house was at least his family, his uncle. In my case, it was a total stranger who oust us out and killed my parents.

Anytime I tried to suppress my feelings about my parents death, I cried. I knew I had post traumatic syndrome but I could overcome it by not letting that past incidence define my future.

I remembered a Hollywood movie,

I watched in In 2010, titled

“THE WOMAN IN GOLD,”

It told the story of Maria Altmann, who did not find out until she was 82 years old, that her family’s paintings had been stolen by the Nazis. One of the paintings, Gustav Klimt’s famous Lady in Gold, was a portrait of Altman’s aunt, Adele Bloch-Bauer. Altmann fought a protracted legal battle with the Austrian Government and was eventually awarded ownership of five of the six paintings stolen from her family.

It was obvious that seizing a child’s parent’s properties is illegal but legality only work for the rich and the powerful.

My other reason for helping flexion was Solidarity. Flexion was one of my special escorts. I couldn’t delegate his case to someone else.

It took us three days to do our reconnaissance survey for the operation and believe me, it was hectic.

-The D-Day-

It was around 11.55 p.m when we reached his uncle’s residence. We knew his house was well guarded. The top of the wall was spiked and the whole wall had been electrified.

There was a big police dog perambulating on the compound and an alarm triggering mechanism was installed . There were also hidden cameras in every crucial angle positioned strategically in the compound.

Every door has a peep hole to see who’s knocking.

To further boost his security, he hired the service of trained security men to keep watching his house with eagle eyes. We learnt about all these during our pre-operation routine.

We drove our car and stopped 50 metres from the Great mansion that towered into the sky and dwaft the rest of the building in the vincinity.

Our first objective was to overcome the electric wall. We used a foldable ladder that can be placed on both side of the wall.

We ascend the wall and descended right into the compound.

The thick black gigantic dog, probably a Rottweiler breed of German descent rushed towards us with its mouth wide open, it’s canine ready to bite.

I was expecting thunder to march on the dog but he didn’t. I tried to shoot it with the gun but he stopped me. Now the dog was menancingly close. God.!!! It leaped towards me with its ferocious teeth closer to its strike zone.

Then I saw a huge fist struck the dog’s cervical vertebrae neck.

It landed on the floor without a bite, paralysed and neck broken.

Persephony disabled the main alarm system. We could have used EMP( Electro Magnetic Pulse) to destabilise the CCTVs( Close Circuit Televisions) and spy lenses but it could alert the guards in the CCTV Control room and if Flexion’s Uncle Donald was monitoring the CCTV through a mobile phone app, our mission would be ruin.

Our computer expert Persephony disabled the PTZ Infrared security camera for just 10 seconds so that we could hide from the eyes of the cameras before they come back again hoping It will be seen as power glitch.

As we tiptoed towards the door, My feet touched a rope laid low on the ground. I tripped and fell. Thunder and Flexion didn’t realised it because they were way ahead trying to get into Donald’s archives to pick Flexion’s Father’s Document.

I picked myself up from the ground and moved forward for just five metres when a huge man like goliath of the bible materialised from inside a room.

“Hei, who are you?” He said.

“Security,” I answered.

He looked at me suspiciously and asked, “what is your password.”

I gazed at him and I heard a voice in my head saying storm breaker so I also say “Storm Breaker.”

He said, “that’s a positive”

He allowed me to passed by. Just when I was about to negotiate a curve, he said, ” What is your code name?”

I remained silent. He moved towards me and held me by the neck. “Your code name?”…

He began chocking me.

Suddenly I gave him an upper cut. He released his grib on me. Then he threw a punch. I dodged it and hit his legs. He attempted to bend down. I connected my elbow to his jaw but the impact was minimal. I hit him again with a swift hand movement.

He kicked me, sending me flying in mid air. I stood up. He charged like a Taekwando fighter. I faced him and took my stand. I quickly jumped in the air like Jet-lee and gave him a devastating 360-degree hook-kick to the head while dodging his huge fist.

He was unprepared for the speed of my movement. With a combined upper cut and elbow jab, he lunged onto the ground in pain,almost unconscious.

I rushed and join Thunder. We broke the door and entered the room. Donald was awake. He saw Flexion, thunder, Malpass and me.

Then he asked, “what are you doing here?”

Flexion answerd, I’m here to collect my father’s house documents. Donald gazed at us again. Thunder moved forward and said, “give it to him or you die. I have a deadly fist. Don’t make me use it on you.”

He moved towards Donald.

“Ok.ok. ok. He went into his room and picked the documents. He returned with it and gave it to Flexion. He said, “thank you, uncle.”

Donald said, “I’m not your uncle.

How can a gang be my nephew. God forbid.!!!

Flexion retorted, “I can also ask you ” how can a kleptomania be my uncle.?”

Anger surfaced on his uncles face. Then he smiled saying, “Anyway, you are not going anywhere with your father’s house documents. Just look downstairs.”

We rushed downstairs. The giant had woken up. We turned round to use the other side. Then we heard the incessant blurring of

police sirens, Wheiiiii_iuuu_uuuuuu!!

Wheiiiii_iuuu_uuuuuu!!!

Police!! We were surrounded !

I looked on the faces of my escorts. For once thunder looked worried. Flexion too. I looked back. The giant was up and moving towards us with a metal rod.

The most painful thing in life is getting into a situation you can’t do anything about. The prospect of going to jail for breaking into a private property loomed ahead.

We are cornered!!! I said.

The rest of the gang looked on actionless.

We are finished,guys, let’s….

“Not yet.” Someone said from behind us. At first we thought it was the giant. We turned round but the giant had fallen down again.

We looked at the young man who said, ” not yet.” What?!” We didn’t take him with us on this operation but he was right before us. Then he said…….

.” Come on fellas, let’s go home. You don’t need your vehicles now. They will follow you. He made some incantation and stretched his hand saying, “all of you, touch my hands!!! We all touched his hands. One …two..

(I don’t know what happened for a moment but it was as if I was in a trance)

Then I saw myself at home in front of my TV set with my squad with me. Everyone was laughing.

Eeeeeiii.Africa magic . Tabuki had come in the nick of time to yanked us out from the jaws of trouble.

We thank him for taking that great initiative . He only smiled and said, I’m the gang’s spiritualist. I’m just doing my job. Flexion had his father’s documents. I went to bed. It had been a hectic operation night.
