CHAPTER 12
Ife had left Tolu and Emily and taken the public transport, his shoulder still all bandaged up. He never really got over what had happen just less than Forty-eight hours ago. *We had him, we fucking had him damn it*, Tolu was right about seyi hiding something, infact they had struck Gold. A Witness. In a moment he felt it was all over finally, and a moment later,they were in a mad car chase, took a bullet in his shoulder, and the ultimate failure, Their witness was Killed. The manner at which his neck tilted. Just who is this guy. They never really even saw his face, He was busy driving for his life. Tolu was all crouched down trying to keep Seyi safe, Seyi..... scared to death. Ever since that day, Ife had a theory that the killer was the same person that killed Hamzat, A theory Tolu bought into. Not to mention the fact that Anonymous had warned them ahead of time. Damn it!.
Resting his head on the window, depressed and deep in thoughts, he felt a vibration his pocket, he felt his heart drop. Anonymous?.
On checking phone, it was a familiar person, Dr. segun. *what now*.
"Hello" Dr. segun greeted.
"Dr.segun how's everything"
"We bless God, uhmm.. I'm calling with respect to the autopsy report of the driver" he said.
"Oh'' Ife says indifferently, " what about it ".
" We've got finger prints" dr.segun says flatly.
"What?!!" Ife screams; soon all eyes is on him, he realizes he had shouted, and held a hand apologizing to them, turns his head back to the window and whispers, "What?!".
" yes, we got it around his facial area to be precise, I've got the reports and the prints image and details. when will you come by to get it?"
"Right away" ife said. Good news!!!!.
"Driver stop" he screams at the driver, pays the fare and is running back.
To think they had almost overlooked the driver, everyone was so busy with Hamzat, The driver's body was almost forgotten.
He runs into the hospital and collects the file that held the prints, he dialed Tolu's line and screamed at it as soon as he picks.
"Tolu, We've got prints, we've got prints... can you hear me... we've got prints"
**********************************
"woah, slow down man" Tolu pleads.
"I said we've got prints........" Ife screams
excitedly.
"We've got prints???" Tolu asks confused.
"Yes man , yes, We've got Hamzat's killer's Prints......"
"Really!" Tolu says gleefully, "where?"
"Off her driver man....Off her Driver".
" My Gosh... this is good news" Tolu says. He was buzzing inside of him, ever since they had lost Seyi , he'd been down mentally. He glances at Emily who's still fixated at her laptop, still shell shocked at the result her tracer brought back. it was inconceivable. Even for him.
"Where are you man?" Ife asks
"At the hotel, why?"
" Dude, i am coming over right now, this isn't slipping of our hands this time". Ife cuts the call.
Turning to Emily,"You okay? "
"do i look okay?" she shoots at him
"geez calm down" tolu soothes, "You're getting you're self worked up over this, you probably missed some parameters, or something, or at least you can send it again"
"you don't get it ,do you?" she lowers her voice this time, "My tracer has never failed. The only time this has happened was on 'dud' account, Anonymous is NOT a dud account. you said he replied the woman didn't you?" she asks.
"Yea he did"
"Then something isn't right" she concludes
"How?"
"Anonymous is messing with our heads"
***********************************
Dakar watched his laptop in horror, his camera had just recorded an activity. And it happened 20 minutes ago. He had been reluctant on watching it but on second thought decided to play it and what he saw-and HEARD, shocked him the more.
They've gotten my prints!!!!.. That's not possible, i made sure, but on whose body was it found?
"..... off the driver man.... off the driver".
The driver?. Then he remembered the aged man he had seen dozing off the stairs, he had suffocated him to death. And Now, they've gotten my prints. Another loophole. His second in three days. The Sponsors' gonna kill me for sure. He looks at the time, ife would have already been at the hotel before he could make his move, and attacking them directly would put him at more disadvantage. *I'll let them have this small victory*, he promised himself not to tell The Sponsor. Who was scheduled to call him anytime soon.
************************************
Ibrahim Salisu got off the call in tense mood. Tolu just called to tell him they've gotten prints. *they've gotten his prints?*, *you bastard*, no matter.
he hears a knock on the door, " Come In" he invites.
Helen walks in with a few files, "Good afternoon sir".
Ibrahim smirks and replies, " enough with the act, Helen ".
Helen smiles at him, " you never can tell, the walls have ears you know?".
"Damn the walls my dear" he says, "give daddy a hug". He opens his arms as helen snuggles herself in it.
Helen was His Concubine.
She was his catalyst on becoming head of the DSS. She had gotten her post as the secretary to the head on his recommendation, he had his plans well drilled through her. She had given him information on the call Aluko made. Overheard Tanko mohammeds call to the FBI, quick enough but not as fast as Anonymous did, but still commendable, She had sabotaged every move Tanko had made.She had used few of her other contacts to get information on 'Tolu Majiyagbe', While he had put pressure on the president to get Tanko fired. She was worth the world to him.
" We haven't celebrated our victory yet" Helen said, sitting on his lap, her hands round his neck.
" There would be more time for that my dear'' he said as he kissed her on her lips, "once I've achieved the ultimate goal". Helen chuckles as she leans him and kissed him passionately this time.
**********************************
Ife barges into the door as tolu hugs him, ''man how did it happen?".
Just as they spoke, something begins spiking on Emily's watch, it was a signal she knew all too well but not something she thought she would find in this country. *that's odd*.
" dude " Ife Starts, "the doctor called me and told me "
"that makes up for previous errors" tolu voices out.
"I'm telling you " ife says gleefully, "here " he hands over the files to tolu who's more than eager to open it.
"called DSS?" Ife asks
"yea sure" Tolu answers as he screens the details and is smiling broadly, "I'll have Emily work on this before we hand it over to DSS though".
" No problem" Ife says, "we begin work on it tomorrow man"
"yea sure, get a goodnight rest man, you deserve it" Tolu pats him at the back.
"Sorry to disturb your little happiness guys" Emily announces, they both stare at her almost forgetting she was there,.
"But which one of you has got Nanotech in them?"
**********************************
Dakar is on the move in the dead of night, *i hope he knows what he's doing?* he thinks to himself. He wanted to cool off the anger he had in him due to living his print on the driver, he had failed again and wasn't happy. But as soon as he had seen the clip, The Sponsor had called and told him to be at a specific location at 10PM prompt.
He's just about to give up, he'd been there over thirty minutes. He checks his time, 10:40Pm!. Just then a limo is parked and he meets the young woman The Sponsor had said he would meet.
she holds out a blind fold, and ties it around his eyes, he hears the car engine revive as the car is on the move for half an hour before, it stops to an abrupt end. The young woman leads him out of the car and removes his blind fold, she Walks away from him.
Dakar is frightened at such manner, just then his ears a voice.
"Welcome Dakar"
He scans the area for where the voice was coming form, the young woman stares on undisturbed. He recognised that voice, impossible.
"you're shocked and i know, we've never met, and i intend to change that".
Dakar hears footsteps, and immediately he brings out his gun, aimed at the direction he hears the footsteps, he hears the cock of a gun as the Young woman aims hers at him, he's shocked, then in a split second produces another gun in his other hand and aims at her.
" Tsk, tsk, tsk, calm down helen" the voice says lightly, "thats no way to treat my friend"
"you never said he's gonna be Rude" she scoffs.
"lower your gun helen, you too dakar".
They both obey, " show yourself " Dakar says, he is shocked to believe it could be.... No.. it's impossible.
The footsteps become louder as the individual comes closer his face is revealed and Dakar is shocked to his bones, No Way!.
"is this some kind of a joke" he screams. His eyes is wide opened now.
"Common dakar it's me, Ibrahim Salisu"...
No Way!
".... Or you can call me" he pauses.
".....The Sponsor".
