Chapter 19 - 18 Two faces of the same coin

If a psychopath is considered a person with a personality disorder indicated by a pattern of lying, cunning, manipulating, glibness, exploiting, heedlessness, arrogance, delusions of grandeur, sexual promiscuity, low self-control, disregard for morality, lack of acceptance of responsibility, callousness, and lack of empathy and remorse. Prone to violent and criminal offenses, then I consider myself to be all of these things and more.

There are just some things that can never be explained, at least not in words. Some people like to talk and all the while never understood, while others prefer to act and do something in other to explain themselves since they can not be understood in a normal sense, but, what of the one's that prefer to watch and listen, these are the ones some call psychopath for they've been ignored far too long and all they have time to do is think. The default in the human brain is, it mostly thinks of what is bad. If the time comes for these ones to act, they will simply act upon what they've been thinking. The birth of most psychopaths is simply loneliness.

The answer I've been searching for can only be given to me by this man in front of me but the problem is, he is just like me, in some ways. He knows more than he should but the only reason he is still alive is because of these secrets he knows. Someone is protecting him, not willingly of cause, but who? there is always something I don't know.

Do you know what your problem is boy? You think too much and act less. What I choose not to tell is my business and you are not in charge of my safety, I do know how to protect myself.

I won't say anything about the matter for now.

He was about to get up from his seat.

Some days ago, a tall dark man came to look for me and from what he told me, he claimed to be a lawyer and that he met with you before coming to me, did you encountered such a man?

I've not left this mansion in two weeks, and no one as such has entered this compound.

There are so many dark tall men in this mansion, what makes you think he is not here?

True, but be more specific in your description.

There will be no need for that sir, you and I know after my description you are going to deny it again, you are too quick to deny the first, that's how I know, and you have given me a reason to dig for information.

Isn't that what you do? Why create excuses.

Come to think of it, that lawyer could be lying, but not entirely. Some of the best lies are the ones mixed with a little bit of truth, in a way he told me he had met with my uncle who gave him my address and he also called him the big boss. Now I get the message, he was only telling me he knows my movement and some of the things am involved in but the question is, how much does he know? And why didn't he asked me if I knew who my father was? Now have been thinking why the big boss would make me do something like that.

Of all the guys you had at your disposal, why choose me?

For what? He asked.

You know what am talking about, don't play dumb.

Have you asked yourself, how many hitmen would come out alive from that hotel? Very few and you happen to be one of those few and plus you were also available.

Cut all that crap, you and I know you expect me to die in the process, unfortunately for you I didn't die like you expected, if you wanted me dead so badly why not kill me another way? Oh, you wanted it to be poetic, don't you?

Not to worry, I work for you but not for long and I don't want your story and half-truths, I believe that will be all isn't it, or do you have another suicide mission.

As a matter of fact, I do.

Most people call me a psycho, but it's funny how two people can talk void without any emotions to tell if one is angry or scared. The both of us are angry but at this point, we don't know who needs each other the most, there are things he knows but can't share, and as for the things he doesn't know, he needs me to feel in the blank spaces. I on the other hand do happen to pick up information along the way but confirm them through his facial expression, words and actions, his every word points to something, that's the effect of too many information and thinking, you try to put every word in line but that always leaves room for speculators such as myself. We are two faces of the same coin.

The investigation is going somewhere, but not where the Order wants it. The investigator the government sent all the way from Abuja has been digging into the past, revealing too many derns that should never come to light. From a reliable source, they say he is going to be the one to carry the information personally to Abuja by tomorrow but when we don't know. Luckily for you he would not be able to take his flight for all flights to Abuja has been cancelled, that means he will be going on land.

Your mission is to take him out tomorrow, we don't know the route he will decide to take, that I believe is your specialty.

He got up, walked to his table and opened a drawer, he picked up a file, he handed me the file and sat down. That's all the info we have on this guy.

I took the file but I didn't open it. What makes you so sure that if he dies the government won't send someone else to replace the guy?

That's why you are going to make it look like an accident. If you don't come true on this one, that will be the end of all of us.

The expression in his eyes this time when he handed me the file was fear. It was clear and visible that this was no lie. If this has to do with secrets about the organization then this is just one of the first set of people to die. Information doesn't just appear out of tine air, someone must have snitched.

Again, you have so many guys here for missions just like this, why me.

You are already involved in this shit, if you get out now, they will kill you and you don't need me to tell you that. I believe you are beginning to understand how big this thing is. I've given you many privileges to the point you ask too many questions.

If am to die, it's better to know what to expect. If my respect is what you want you will never get it. You can't kill me 'cause you need me but let me tell you this, if all this is over and you decide to back down from our deal, I will make your life a living hell.

I've met greater foes boy, you don't scare me.

You should be scared, sir.

Enough with the threats already.

Destroy every information that has anything to do with the organization. Do study the file. I'll be expecting your call when the job is done. Your account has already been credited for your last job. You can go now.

He got up from his sit and so did I. I went straight home. It was exactly midnight when I entered my apartment.

After some time I opened the file to study it, the name of the target is Samadhi Musa, apparently, he was from the north. He currently lives in Wellington hotel which was one of the best. The hotel is well secured. He's been known to be asking some few people here in town that attended the occasion and he must have found out something.

There were photos of him and some of the people he works with, people he had discussed with and other photos, but there was a familiar face in one of the pictures, it's not clear but I could tell the guy was someone I've seen before, yes, it's that lawyer guy the other day. That explains it, that must be who the target reports to about the progress of the investigation, but, why has he decided to report what he had discovered to the government. Again, something I don't know. One thing is for sure even if it's not obvious yet, the organization will order a hit on sir Desmond, eventually.
