He plugged the flash drive to his tablet to view its content. It was the live footage of Winnie Maurice in her cell. She held the iron bars tightly as per looking for a way out of the cell. Moses still stared at the paper in disbelief. Even if he signed the paper, Winnie would never ever forgive him. Detective Rod examined the paper. It was just a blank sheet with an indication to sign below.
"What does this means?" he asked tapping Moses on his shoulder. Moses sighed his head in regret.
"As the head of the international trade affairs, they want me to sign to approve of the importation of marijuana, tobacco and cocaine. That is the reason why they kidnapped her". This explanation made the environment quiet as a grave yard as everyone fell into deep thoughts.
"Wane" Detective Rod called.
"Yes sir" he replied as he came closer.
"I need you to give this to your IT men and let them find when this was taken, where , how in fact, everything about this device" he said handing him the flashdrive.
"Yes sir" he replied. He took the flashdrive and put it in his suit pocket as he motioned for his men to follow him. Moses opened his eyes in joy. An idea lit in his head. He turned towards Detective Rod who looked at him in surprise.
"Detective, I know"
"You know what? " he asked
"Elba runs an underground casino where he does hide especially in times like this "
"What do you suggest?" . Moses let out an evil smile.
"I suggest we raid it and force him to give up my wife's location." Everyone nodded their heads in appreciation. With that, they set out .

Matthew packed his important documents in a handy schoolbag. He was traveling out of country to create a new life . Earlier on, the old man gave him some hues that Moses may be planning to kill him. And it was true. He knew what Moses was capable of doing, if pushed to the wall. He walked down the airport lobby as he joined the queue.
"Next" the male attendant who was responsible for scanning ID cards said. Just immediately as he put the card in the scanner, the device beeped red as it pulled up recent updates about him. The kidnapping of Winnie Maurice, and he wanted to fly to Jamaica.
"Hands on your head" a police officer said as he placed his gun of his head. At this people scrambled for safety.
"Are you deaf?!, do as you're told" another officer said. At this, he quietly obeyed. Just as he was his hands were about to heat his head, he grabbed the gun and threw the police officer away. He aimed the gun at him and shot it but only smoke came out. There wasn't a bullet inside. Enraged at this point, he grabbed the officer and stuck a pen on his nose. Two officers with tasers as to put him into sudden unconsciousness. He, in turn brought out two daggers. Before they could launch an attack on him, the daggers were already stuck in their chests. He threw a smoke bomb and teleported out of the arena before the armed forces could enclose on him.

The guards fell on the ground as needles they were being injected with sedatives.
"Today, we're going to dance till our last breath for joy!!" a man said. People cheered him as all popped expensive wines and spilled it all over themselves. The DJ put on a hip-hop music as people began to dance. The man came down from the stage and jammed Moses on a head on head collision. Of course,. he was expected to apologize, but because he heard about the recent tragedy that fell on him, he decided to mimick him instead.
"Hey fat, how's your prostitute wife?" he asked trying to make Moses angry because a knife was already on his hand ready to stab. And on the part of Moses, he would've snapped his neck right now, but it seemed he had control over his anger.
"You'll see her soon" he replied in a cool tone void of anger. This made the man a bit scared as Moses stepped backwards. Instantly, he was being shot with a net gun which enveloped him in its hard nets. At this, a stampede occured as officers from the SSS barged into the casino. Surprisingly, instead of the occupants to surrender or stay quiet, they brought out their various weapons and began to fire. It took a while before the SSS could finally take all of them down and arrest them.
"Where is Elba!" Moses asked as he twisted a man's hands. The man did not reply as he continued to groan in pain. Meanwhile Detective Rod and the rest of the SSS had gone deeper into the casino as there were some underground halls in the huge and complex casino. All of a sudden, the bulbs began to explode as everywhere became dense dark. Next was a terrible explosion that threw him out of balance. He fell on the ground almost unconscious. The emergency lights were put on as the SSS helped him on his feet.
"What the heck happened?" Moses asked as he dusted himself.
"This" Wane said as he handed him a cell phone.
"I don't grab" Moses stated
"Somebody warned Elba few minutes after we barged in" Wane explained.
"And you're lucky to be alive Moses " Detective Rod said. Moses looked at him in confusion. He brought out his tablet and showed him.
"According to CCTV, after they disabled the main switch, Elba was right besides you and planted a bomb few inches near your feet" he explained. Moses took the tablet from him and watched the video footage.
"The people around you at that time are all unconscious" . Moses looked around to be sure. And it was true.
"I'm used to explosions, so this is just minor" he replied.
"Remember, Elba would be visiting you in the evening, so that may be our last chance to catch him"
"And find my wife"
"Of course" Wane replied.
