Episode 16
Khalifa City, 2:37pm⊠Aziz takes them to a quiet street; all the houses on the street were the same in structures and designs but different colors; it was more like an estate as each house had a bar gate and flower fencing about 6ft high, there are three columns of trees arranged horizontally hereby creating two roads and pedestrian lane on each side of the road. The tall palm fruitless trees covered the sky and protected the ground from the hot sun light. You couldnât see into the compounds except through the bar gate. Their car drove down the street and stopped at a house labeled R2 as this was the numbering pattern of the houses; the first two houses facing each other were numbered A1 and A2 followed by B1 and B2 and so onâŠ
They got to the house and stepped out the car and the two men from the front were the first to go in before Aziz and others; everywhere was calm and peaceful, not even the wind made a move at any object.
The house was made of red bricks and a white metal door. One of Aziz men knocked on the door and someone from inside opened the door for them and they walked in âAnya-l-howwa?â Aziz asked and the man walked into the sitting room and they followed and he led them into a room where a man was tied to a chair and blindfolded with a blue ribbon. Two of Aziz men dressed in suit were standing behind the man and another on his left; there was a table in front of him where Aziz, Zeus and Luke were standing âRemove the blindfoldâ Zeus said and one of the men removed it The hostage was a black man in a white shirt with blue tie which was loosened a little bit and his shirt was dirty and he looked rough; he opened his eyes and looked around the room and the looked at the faces of the men in front of him âWhat is going on here?â he said; Zeus smiled âHe said he doesnât know youâ Aziz said âDr. Hassan Rajiâ Zeus said smiling âWho are you? Why did you bring me here?â he asked âWho am I? You donât know me again?â Zeus said âI donât know youâ he said confidently âIs this not the Ex-minister of information?â Luke said âOf cause he is and heâs a good informantâ âI want you to tell me all that you know about my fatherâs murderâ Zeus said âI donât know what you are tal⊠araaghâ he didnât finish the statement before Zeus landed a punch on his left eye and he shouted in pain âWill you tell me nowâ âI donât know youâ he said âZeus allow meâ Aziz said âListen Mr. Hassan, donât make this harder for yourself, tell us what we wantâ Aziz said âI donât know what youâre all talking aboutâ he said; Aziz called one of his men close âGet a knifeâ he said and the man left and came back with a knife âI wonât ask you again or I am going to cut your thumb into slices like a breadâ Aziz said as he put the knife at the tip of his finger âOk Iâll tell youâ he said âGoodâ âGeneral Afeez Usman is the man you need to get for your fatherâs death, he is the mafia behind everything.
He only gave me orders to kill your father, your father was not assassinated as they told the world; he was murdered in the meeting with the executives present. I was the one who carried out the killing on the orders of the General, he asked me to stab your father in the heart. Everything that happened was not hidden because your father saw the faces of his killersâ âI see, so you are the obedient servant. Are you a soldier?â Zeus asked âNoâ âThen why did you carry out orders from the General?â âHe would have killed meâ âSo what do you think I would do to youâ âWait, there is one more thingâ he said âSpeak upâ There was a complication after the killingâ âWhat complication?â âIn the hotel where we held the meeting, there was someone who recorded the killing secretly without our awareness but it was one of the Generalâs comrades who discovered a lady with a video cameraâ âAnd did you kill her?â Zeus asked âShe ran away and they couldnât get her but she is still being hunted; we managed to track down her address but she was alert and knew she was under attack so she escapedâ âSo thereâs evidence against them, whatâs her name?â Luke said âSarah Oscarâ âGood but how can we get to General Afeezâ Zeus asked âI donât know, am not a very close associate to himâ âThen you are of no use to me againâ âplease donât kill meâ he begged âDid my father beg?â Zeus asked but he was silent âAnswer me!!â Zeus yelled âNo he didnâtâ âthen what were his last wordsâ âHe said we would be hauntedâ âYes, heâs right and am the hunterâ Zeus said âTell me how to find General Afeez and I might spare your lifeâ âI donât know but there is someone who works closely with himâ âWhoâ âFranklin Orji, he works at the Union bank head quarters in the Island in Lagosâ âGoodâ Zeus said as he turned away âWe canât spare himâ Luke said âYes we canâtâ Aziz agreed âWhat do we do with him?â Zeus asked âLet me deal with himâ Aziz said and Zeus nodded in agreement âFeed him to the tigerâ Aziz said and his men took the man away âNo! Please I beg youâ he pleaded but it fell on deaf ears⊠They walked out the house and got in the car and drove off âHow did go with my sister?â Aziz asked âWeâre getting marriedâ he said and Aziz laughed with surprise âNice one, very goodâ âWeâll do a quick wedding then weâll fly to Nigeriaâ âThatâs okayââŠ
