Chapter 7

Ali, tell them what's on the ground, let everyone know where he erred and how to address the whole issue. Sen Yakubu said to the group comprising of Ali and Sam, four other men sitting with them, and two other armed men standing behind the Senator.

Well, there's an issue on the ground, Zick and his men are reinforcing to hit back on Us. Since the death of Louis who was the team leader of the panel to handle the allegations against our Distinguished Senator, Zick, and his team have been filing a bigger case. And I heard that Officer Jimmy is the one feeding them with the information they needed about the death of Louis and how he died. We're the prime suspect as it happened the same day they gave him our file. Even the Kidnapping of Chief Raphael is one of the cases toping in their files. Now we need to do something. He concluded and sat down.

Well, we heard all that he said. I guess we should handle that Jimmy of a man with proper care. Zick is not someone to toy with. I'll try and be closer to Mr. President and even the chief justice of the federation at least, they'll help if it escalates above our control. Sen Yakubu told his men.

A man dressed in a well-ironed suit with tye got up and said

... Distinguished, don't go any closer to the Chief justice. Remember what happened during the election that got you in this seat. If he knows whatever he'll do to bring you down, he'll do it as soon as possible.

That's true but what do you think? Said, Sen Yakubu

But I've ironed some things out with him.

If truly you've done as you said, Sam and his men should be up and doing before they attract much attention to us. Let's cub it before they finish the underground assignments. Ali told the men.

Sir, you mean, we should kill Jimmy alone or together with the daughter, and that their neighbor Sam asked while standing up.

I suggest you kill them all. Said Mr. Senator.

No!! that'll make the whole thing more obvious. Kill Jimmy and leave the remaining people to their fate. They can't move freely when their umbrella, Officer Jimmy is taken away.

Mr. Ali said

That's good, back to work everyone, Ali waits behind. Senator said then Every other person exited the place for them.

Ali, I know you never misinformed me, do we need to do any other thing?

Mr. Senator questioned Ali in a more friendly manner.

Honorable sir, I'm always at your service. There's nothing more, for now, if anything comes up, I'll let you know. But when going to your office at any time, go with more men and not just with Yazeed and Peter. Things may go sour at any time. Not putting fear in you but making sure that we take preventive measures.

I've heard you, you'll receive something from me in addition to your usual salary. Thanks a lot.

I'm grateful sir. Ali said, shook his hand then left him.

Ali! Ali!! Yakubu called

Tell others please, make sure you follow up on the news to know more about what the general public bus saying. Even to know whether there is another suspect in what happened.

I will do as you said, sir.

That's good. I may travel next week. I need some rest. The Senator said.

Hahahaha, you need am!!

Ali playful told the senator.

Dear, I need to rest.

It's good sir, just make sure the coast is clear before you make any move. Zick is more slippery than soap, very clever, and perfect in his work. We may not even know who is involved in their investigations.

That's true but I rely on you for every piece of information I need. Play smart and safe. With you, I'm covered.

Hahahaha, Distinguished, I'm honored, sir.

You merit am my son.

Thanks a lot, sir

You're welcome. You can now go back to your duty post.

Okay, sir. Update me when Sam finishes his work.

That one na do-lé I'll tell you. You'll hear the scores. I trust Sam.

That's good sir. Till then

Okay.

Ali then left the Senator.
