Barber Shop

In the barber's shop, inspector Michael had a brief chat with the barber's apprentice and got some sensitive information.

Rep words were as follows:

'On a good day, pick up your pictures in your living room, admire them CLOSELY and WELL....'

Then it dawned on him that this puzzles are more mysterious than he imagined. He knew going to his base won't be possible now, till the weekend, while waiting till then, he decided to remove his uniform so as to go to the new barber's shop to have his haircut.

Insp. Michael likes being mysterious as he doesn't like people knowing exactly who he is, unlike his other colleagues that pride in their uniforms…

BARBER'S SHOP.

Insp. Michael lately has been patronising the new barber's shop for his haircut...

Having gotten to the barber's shop, Insp. Michael said, ' I don't even know your name and I've patronised you here on two occasions, May I know your name please please?.

My name is "Stylish" as its inscribed on my haircut...

Insp. Michael: Ok , please i just want to trim my hair and my brows a little. I must say, i like the cut you did for me the last time, you're really creative. So you stay around here right.

Stylish: Yeah, it's almost my third month here, I actually relocated from my uncles place to come here to start my barbing business having being trained by the best barbers by name '''Barb&Blend''' based in the Up North region of the country.

Insp. Michael: Wow, you're talented and you will succeed... That's good. Who's that boy sitting outside, I'm always seeing him either outside or doing cleanup with your sharp instruments, is he your apprentice... looking so bright and young.

Stylish: Yes sir he is.

Insp. Michael: What's his name?

Stylish : Adam is his name.

" Wow", like the bible Adam, Insp. Michael said, They both chuckled.

Insp. Michael felt something is missing, but he couldn't depict what it was, so he decided to quickly get juice and snacks across the road and returned immediately to have his hair cut, as he sat down, his hair was about to be trimmed, he fell his juice and snack on the floor, and also deliberately fell down alongside making it look like an accident... He forged a scream and Stylish winked at the 'supposed' Adam to clean up the mess, Insp. Michael pleaded with Stylish to cross to the other side of the road to get him some first aid kit with some snacks, Stylish wanted sending 'Adam' but Insp Michael disagreed.

So Stylish went for the errand, immediately Insp. Michael dragged him and asked him saying ' Is your name Adam and how old are you?'. He said no, and that he's not Adam and don't know who Adam is, he said his name is Jesse and he's 16years old...

Insp. Michael: How did you get here, be quick, I'm am inspector and I will help you, we don't have time, you just have to corporate with me. I'll have to record your words okay, he turned on his phone recorder. Ok speak now,

Jesse: I and my twin sis Jasmine were walking along the road and a moving vehicle took us, their faces were covered, then I heard one of them saying ' take the female hostage to the other van' that's how my sister was taken, and I saw some young boys of my age with pistols, some with heavy objects, some my age bracket, while I'm older than some from the look of things, so I heard some conversations as

Stylish, handle the boy, Marksman, transfer the girl to Silencer, we need ten more boys before we do a mass training for them, and we need 15more girls before we export them.

I wasn't seeing any faces as they were masked when talking, its when I got down from the van, I was blindfolded and the next place I found myself is in this shop with this man.

Insp. Michael: He's on his way already, pull your trouser down quickly, I will write two phone numbers on your lap, it's mine and one of my colleague by name Philo, anytime you're sent to get anything, look for a way to branch to any of the three phone booth located around this shop, put a call across, I will pay them ahead of time so they don't charge you... Write the number somewhere later. okay.

About 10mins later, Immediately Stylish came in, he met Adam outside, washing the rag he used in cleaning up the floor while Insp. Michael was on the cushion forging a sleep.

Oga, Oga, Oga you don sleep, Insp. Michael jacked up immediately,

Oh you're back, Silencer applied spirit in the affected areas, he screamed and said, Enough! Its painful, later I will fix myself at home... Thank you.

Silencer: Oga,I no no your name o. He smiled,

Insp. Michael: I'm Yul. I'm the guy that's always working at the mechanic shop sometimes...

{Well, Insp. Michael loves going there to pass time and give a helping hand anytime he's bored or have nothing serious doing at the office.}

Insp. Michael: Ok I need to get going, as he was about going, he saw Insp. Zed and Cain heading towards the barbers shop and in code he quickly said ' call me Yul, not Michael, will explain later'

They understood, immediately, zed and Cain were exchanging words with Stylish.

Zed accused Stylish of being rude to him, and Cain accused Stylish of being harsh on his apprentice.

Stylish ignored their rant and told them to leave if they're not barging their hair, angrily Zed tried to slap Stylish, Stylish dodged it and gave him a punch. And immediately Insp. Michael intervened in the situation.

Stylish said Thank you oga Yul. If to say you no come, I for kill them, they never know who I be...

Who you be? chorused Zed and Cain,

I know say I be barber for your side o, but me no dey retreat or surrender, I go soon show, e go soon reach, just dey know say retreat no surrender na my slogan.
