Nojat leaves Emily after they exchange hugs and Emily is left to observe the mug. what could she be up to?. Whose print would they get off this?.
She wraps the mug with her handkerchief and leaves.
*****************************
Tolu and ife get into the room and are at work already.
"That was some smart thinking on your part" Ife commended.
He was shocked that there was actually tech that could hack into systems without tapping the keyboard. The device Tolu had used overrode whatever defence the lodge's system had and downloaded every video clip, transaction, bookings, names of every occupant since the the lodge started and all they had to do was to be specific with their search.
  "yea sure, took less than 5 minutes". Tolu says. He'd have enough tech in the briefcase emily had given him before he left the US but hadn't bothered to open it, And it had put him and ife under undue stress. He had to give Emily the credit she deserved, she had given him more than enough tech, she'd flown over fifteen hours to help out, and ever since she did their investigation had progressed in leap and bounds. Maybe he did owe her an apology. it wasn't her fault her tracer didn't get anonymous. he'd only doubted her judgment even more. Where was she anyway?.
He slots the device into his system and it begins downloading.
  " let me see the file you said you found" tolu said.
ife hands it over as tolu scans the files, picks out the picture of Aluko kosoko. The old frail man who was murdered at the cusp of wealthiness beyond his wildest dreams. Looking at the picture made his heart race. He puts down the picture and observes the file that held the details of Aluko. what he was putting on that day. The path he would pass. damn!, so detailed.
He observes the name attached behind the file
                                     The Sponsor.

This was definitely the person who hired the killer. The killer wasn't thinking on his own, This 'sponsor' guy called the shots and makes perfectly orchestrated plans that the killer dutifully carried out. It was like Two evil masterminds collaborating and fighting for the same course. As far as Tolu was concerned, 'The Sponsor' was as bad as the killer, For someone to have been so detailed on crimes, this person had to be a mad genius.
They're going to pay, tolu says to himself.
Just then his system Beeps and displays: Download Complete!
   Tolu puts asides the documents, ready to dive in when Emily walks in.
  "Where'd you go" Tolu asked as soon as he saw her, "i was worried".
And he really was, with a killer on the loose, wandering off wasn't the best option for any of them. He promised to give his new boss, Ibrahim salisu information the moment he was done.
Emily walks past him and reluctantly replies, " i was out"
*what's this about?*, *about yesterday?, last night?*, i apologized!.
   "okay then, could you spare a minute or two, lets go through this together" Tolu had offered pointing at his laptop.
Emily takes a quick glance and almost obliges before she remembers she'd promised nojat to work on the mug as soon as possible.
  "No thanks" she turns down, "gotta work on something else".
*Something else?*, tolu pondered, *what could be more important than what they needed to do?*, Ife notices the tension between both of them, they'd been at this since yesterday.
  " lets just start man " he urges.
Tolu quickly glances at her before turning his head back to the laptop.
******************************
Emily felt she was going hard on him. he really didn't deserve much of her attitude, he'd been through a lot lately. She had actually flown to Nigeria so she could quickly help resolve whatever he needed do so they could both fly back.
She opens her bag and stares at the mug, *i sure hope you know what you're doing nojat*.
she silently brings out the file ife had brought yesterday that had the killers prints. She used her 3Dprint Scanner to scan the prints and upload on her laptop, she then connected the 3Dprint scanner to her print torch which shone of blue light as she directs the light towards the mug, using her left hands to slowly rotate the mug as the blue light scanned the prints.
The prints are being drawn automatically on her system. once it was done, she dropped the scanner and had the computer analyze both prints.
It takes a while until The computer reads:

  Analysis complete
     92% Match

"Umar" Emily screams.
******************************
Tolu and ife kept working on the system, asking themselves questions like, what time aluko had been murdered, date and time, What date Hamzat had been murdered. these inquires narrowed the exhaustive  list, each new variable they used kept on narrowing the long list up until theres only one name that satisfied all variables they had inserted.
 
            Umar Dakar.

"Umar", they'd both scream. Only to realize Emily also screamed "umar". They'd all screamed simultaneously..
Emily throws a shocking glance at tolu.
she rushes and brings out her phone as she dials nojat and it yelling:
" Nojat.... be careful... it's umar... umar is the killer... he works for the sponsor... can you hear me... it's umarrrr..... "
**********************************
 
Nojat couldn't believe what Emily had to tell her... she was screaming and fidgeting off the phone, emily was scared as she spoke almost incoherently. But Nojat had heard enough for her to decipher what it meant. She'd just arrived the place Umar had texted her.
She knocks on the door as Umar opens almost immediately already expecting her.
He smiles and ushers her in as she walks slowly in. She sits on the side of the bed as relaxes her palm on her face and umar could tell she was crying.
"What's wrong babe?".
She shot her eyes at him and umar is surprised at the anger that filled those tears.
" Umar, who's The Sponsor?"
*******************************
Dakar lessened the pressure on nojats neck just as she was about to slip away. She drops almost lifelessly on the ground. He observed her crudely and notices she's still breathing. He'd done enough to make her unconscious.
He was shocked at how she'd known. The gun. she must have prepared beforehand. Was the game slightly changing to their favour?.
He carries her and ties her to the bed. He watches her eyes still shut as she dozed off. Some days back they had been intimate together.
A part of him didn't want to kill her, she'd lost too much already. She'd lost her dad, her mom, and now the man she loved happened to be the man who killed her mom. The last part made his blood hurl. To think she would actually love him,and she did dearly too.
Another part of him knew her life depended on The Sponsor. He only hoped he wouldn't have to kill her. He really hoped.
Dakar hurries and placed a call to Ibrahim Salisu.
   "Hello dakar" Ibrahim said, "What's the matter".
Dakar stared at Nojat, still out cold before saying, "They Know"
********************************
Ibrahim couldn't believe his ears as his mouth is wide opened. Dakar reeled in what had transpired.
  "Is she alive?" he'd ask.
   "Yes, she just unconscious" dakar replied.
    "Good, she might still be of use to us" Ibrahim said, still tensed but relaxed.
     "so what do i do with her?"
     "Helen will come over as scheduled" Ibrahim said, things still needed go as planned.
     "what about the FBI agents" Dakar asked.
      "I'll handle that myself" Ibrahim said, "for now just wait until helen arrives. Nothing must delay my plans".
He dropped the call without waiting for a reply from Dakar. His loopholes was putting his plans in more jeopardy. As far as he knew,Dakar was the only capable hand he knew.
*I might have to kill him off later*, but for now, he needed dakar more than ever, His plan was in it's final phase.
****************************

" Nojat.... be careful... it's umar... umar is the killer... he works for the sponsor... can you hear me... it's umarrrr..... "
Emily doesn't get a reply as she's calling more frequently, Tolu and Ife are doing the same. Sending several texts.
  "Why isn't she picking up?". Ife asks.
   " my guess is she's with umar, she has to be... oh my God.." Emily rattles.
"Guys..." tolu calls out, "her lines switched off''.
They all exchange shock glances, what if umar had hurt her or.... worse.
Emily remembers something as she rushes back to her computer, and is tapping the keyboards vigorously.
  " What are you doing? " Tolu asks confused.
   "You remember that Nanotech we got off ifes hair'' she says.
    " Yea ".
   " i put it on her "
***************************
All three of them are running towards the DSS office and are at the lobby only to be greeted with armed-Men all aiming their guns at them.
   "What's going on?" Tolu walks towards them as Emily and Ife raise their hands surrendering.
   "Agent Tolu majiyagbe" the leader of the group starts, "You're under Arrest"
