Chapter 9

.... Not quite long, Sam saw some policemen who were casually dressed. As for his colleagues, he knew them but wouldn't allow them to see his face. instead of sitting on the normal car seat, he bent down so those men could pass them.

Sam, what's up?

Kabir, this game is no longer safe

Sam replied to his colleague who saw him as he bent down while in the Rangerover.

How? Kabir kept asking

Those guys who just passed in a taxi are my colleagues in the office. Look back, they're entering Jimmy's house

Sam answered as he pointed towards the estate gate where the taxi entered.

Now, what do we do? It seems they're not even aware of what we're doing here. The third guy in the back seat asked.

That's what you think? who told those guys to come and check what we're doing here? Can't you remember that they wanted to search for us? Isn't their move suspicious to you? Sam said as he looked at the guy angrily.

needed do not abort this mission or else, Senator won't take it easy with me. Remember we're doing this to clean the mess of the last operation. Guys cheer up. Let's be smarter... Kabir said with full confidence.

Okay. In that case, we need to split ourselves. One of you should hang around here. The other will follow the wall and go to the back of Jimmy's house. I'll be in the car waiting to hear from anyone of you. Sam displayed his mastery position in giving commands. The two guys got down from the car. Kabir went to the back of the estate as directed by Sam. The other guy kept loitering around the entrance gate while Jimmy remained in the car.

Kabir was still going to the place as directed by Sam when he was stopped by two armed men. He couldn't give any convincing response to their questions as he didn't even know the exact place he was going. The only thing that saved him was his Police ID card. He did show them his ID card. On the ID card, they saw the name Kabir Mustapha. As he turned his back to return to Sam, one of the policemen brought a piece of paper and pen and then penned down the name.

Sam, the game is no longer safe as you said. I almost got shot now.

What happened? Won't it be better if we abort this operation tonight? Someone has informed Jimmy that we're here.

I thought as much. Two armed men questioned me as if I was caught stealing. It will just be better if we leave here as soon as possible than being caught in the operation.

Kabir replied fearfully

Sam then put on the car engine then the remaining guy walked toward them.

What's up mehn are we not continuing again? He asked as he got into the car

Akim, the game is no longer safe let's go home first. We'll discuss it then. Sam replied as he turned the car steering. They sped off.

Men the case is just getting tougher...

Sam said as he fell on the couch in the room.

Sam you know we've endangered our lives more than ever? How can we narrate what happened to Ali or even Senator himself? Don't you think he'll vest his anger on us? Akim said as he was still standing.

We should die honorably than die in operation as armed robbers or killers. Kabir said in response to what Akim said

You're both an armed robber and a killer at the same time. My concern is not to be molested by Senator Yakubu who finds joy in killing his workers. Akim replied

Guys, the rat that escape today might not escape tomorrow. One day, we'll also die but Jimmy may not escape tomorrow.....Sam said in other to calm the situation

Akim angrily said to Sam ...Is that how you use to calm your nerves down? Wait for Senator's call. You'll still be the one he'll call and not me

Sam felt a beep from his phone. Then touched the pocket where the phone was

Seems the man has called...Akim jokingly said

If he's the one I won't answer him now....Sam replied to him

Oh, it's even Ali, Hello Alhaji Ali.
