I have heard you. Stop crying.”“Are you going to save your father?” Madam Akwete asked again.Sophia didn’t give a response. She kept her eyes glued to the phone and was going through it. Madam Akwete had no idea of what she was doing despite stretching her hand to take a glimpse at it. Sophia was trying to get in touch with Herbert Halloway through chat on the WhatsApp. He wasn’t online and ASO made effort to phone him but he wasn’t picking. She became frustrated, amidst that, he came online and give response. That was Sophia best moment since entering the home. She became eager to disclose some stuff to him. She was typing when she resuscitate the need not to have the conversation typed because it could be more dangerous and ill fating. She demanded if they could talk on the phone and Herbert
Later in the night, Herbert Halloway touched down in Surulere and he began to have the reminiscent of the past and how he began before building one of the biggest drug empire in Mushin. He was directed through the route by Sophia and she dropped at the bus stop at the middle of the night where Sophia went to pick him.Madam Akwete was seated on the sofa in the parlour. She hadn’t slept since they had been expecting Herbert Halloway. She took a nap when Sophia left to pick Herbert Halloway and when they entered hearing the creak of the door, he woke. Herbert Halloway was startled at first seeing her. She seemed familiar but Herbert Halloway was struggling to recognize who she was. Madam Akwete face maintain its resemblance right from when she met Herbet Halloway.“Herbert!” Madam Akwete said.She walked gently to him and hugged him. Herbert Halloway was still looking confused.“I am Akwete whom you saved and flee many years ago when the police came after you.”Herbert Halloway widened
Madam Akwete’s heart was gone that she almost fell to the ground. She was beginning to lose consciousness as she was having a turning eyes. Sophia shifted nigher to her because she knew her condition especially hypertension.“Boss. This girl is a police. You mustn’t allow her and her colleagues to take you down. If you move your hands, I will shoot you,” Shane said.“Shane calm down. That’s what brought me here and we’ve settled it. Please, bring down the gun,” Herbert Halloway said with her two hands up.Shane brought down the gun with his eyes glued on Sophia. Herbert Halloway sat him down and they al sat down. Shane wanted to talk but he seemed uncomfortable and insecure due to Sophia. Herbert Halloway from the way he was looking around.“Sophia is my daughter. She alerted me to return to Nigeria after she finds out and she had disclosed everything to me. How have you been?” Herbert Halloway asked.“I have been fine, boss. I and Jamy had been working clandestinely investigating the
“Yes, she is. Although it was a long story but that’s for another day. Tell Timothy to withdraw his men and the cabinet should report to Yaba. We’ve got a new strategy. What we needed to do now is to distract them so Herbert Halloway, Sophia and his wife can make it out of the country,” Shane said.Jamy was kinda confused by the whole idea and some part of the statement. He had no choice than to succumb since he was the one spying. Jamy picked his phone immediately and gave the information to Timothy so everything would be rounded up before dawn.At dawn Detective Sam and Solicitor Olumide were at the police station waiting for Sergeant Clinton who went to Sophia’s home at the Maryland. She was the only one who hadn’t picked their call.

Detective Sam had returned to the strategic room when Sergeant Clinton and Supernumerary Cynthia returned from Surulere. When they entered without seeing Sophia around them, he knew that an heartbreaking news was about to be broken.“Where is she?” He asked.“We couldn’t find her. The most surprising fact is that we saw her mother’s home opened and no one was inside,” Sergeant Clinton said.Detective Sam went on his toe, “wait. You mean you reached there but saw the doors opened and no one was there?”“Yes. No one,” CynthIa answered.Detective Sam exhaled and walked to the wall looking at it in a serious thought.“Is the commissioner aware?” Sergeant Clinton asked.Solicitor Olumide gave a response shaking his head. Amidst the silence and intense thought, Detective Sam’s phone rang, the name on the screen wrote “Sophia,” it was Solicitor Olumide who was beside the phone that first caught sight of the name of the screen.“Is this not Sophia?” Solicitor Olumide picked the phone and gave
Jamy, Shane and Timothy were in their apartment after dissolving the cabinet to go their respective way but promised to get back to them once everything gone back to normal. At the moment it was tensed that Timothy was scared of being traced to the residence which would eventually marked their end. He wasn’t comfortable with the fact that Shane and Jamy had been faking the kidnapping of Supernumerary Sophia which would certainly intensify the police search.“Shane. I think you should commence preparations on finding a space closer to the castle where you will be spying on the Castle. We have to ensure that Herbert Halloway fled completely maybe after that, we can also fled.”Shane didn’t welcome the idea because he was already known by the two major policemen and he wouldn’t be risking engaging in kinda stuff anymore.“I can’t do that. That’s dangerous to myself. What will you now be doing?” Shane asked.“We have to divert their attention until Herbert Halloway reached his destination
The police commissioner recently invited them all to his office after the information she got from the immigration office that Herbert Halloway had entered the country. He was in his office when they touched down at the early hour of the morning.

The reception wasn’t as cool as before when the mission was going well, it was a tense one that even water, they weren’t offered.“Herbert Halloway is currently in Nigeria according to the information from the immigration office. We have to intensify the search. So what do you have to say?”There was a silence. While the police commissioner was looking at them yearning for a response he noticed that the Supernumerary police weren't compl
The afternoon of the subsequent day was one that Timothy had been longing for. He wasn’t an indoor person and hadn’t been enjoying the solitude he was relegated to at the Yaba side. Due to the change in their strategy, Jamy had thought of relocating to Mushin however, he had the reminiscent that it would be a soft target by the time a full scale search would be launched.“I am done. I am waiting for you guys,” Jamy said with his eyes glued to his phone.Timothy was in the toilet while Shane was still dressing. Shane was a very detail guy when it came to dressing. He did spend his whole day dressing and he was always specific. He was mostly referred to as a stylist by Herbert Halloway and wouldn’t do without contacting him if he had any event to attend. He was still dressing even after Timothy was done in the toilet. They were outside and he joined them.“Have you taken your travel bag?” Shane asked Timothy because he didn’t see anything on his hand as he walked out.“Oh My God,” he ra
