Tons of assassins flocked around the area as Moses walked towards the centre to meet Elba. It was already dark as it was seven pm. Each step he took had a scent of death associated with it.
"You were late Moses. Fifteen minutes late to be exact." Elba said as he turned to face him.
"You did not specify the time" Moses replied.
"Of course I did not, but your instincts should tell you" The duo looked at each other. The eye contact was long as well as scary.
"What about the signature Moses "
"I haven't signed, yet" he said. He made sure he laid emphasis on the yet so it would sound as if he was on their side.
"What holding you?"
"Actually, em.."
"Do you miss her?, or should I make you to?"
At this, Moses looked at him in anger. So he was the person behind those letters on his door.
"Before I sign it, I need a proof that she's alive" One assassin brought out his phone and handed it to him. It was a live footage of Winnie Maurice in her cell.
"That can be photoshopped. I need to see her one- on- one"
"Trust me, your wife is alive and healthy" Elba said
"I've learnt from recent experience not to ever trust" Moses replied. Elba nodded his head as assassins brought their uniforms and handed it to him.
"You want to initiate me? "
"No. It's for security purposes. Take off your clothes and wear this one"
"Damn!! we've lost connection. We have to encircle them. Now!!" Detective Rod shouted. Everyone one ran to their various cars and some even helicopters and flew towards Moses's location.
Just as Moses finished putting on the assassin's costume, and the weapons, the police showed up.
"Surrender!! or die" Wane shouted as he and his men held their machine guns towards Elba and his men.
"I thought you said you'll come alone?"
"I did" Moses replied.
"I believe you" . The assassins all raised their hands and threw smoke bombs on the ground. Before the police knew what was happening, they had all teleported out of the area.
Everyone walked to and fro thinking of what to do. At another edge, was Detective Rod and his men loading their guns. They were going towards the location of the flash drive source that Wane and his men found earlier. He entered his car and drove towards the location. Upon getting there, his men were already there waiting for him. He nodded to his men to keep going as they forced open the door. Cages of different sizes and texture were seen all round the area. The hall had the scent of chicken's feathers.
"Seems here was a poultry farm" one of his men said.
"Yeah, it's obvious" he replied. All of a sudden, he stepped on something. The whole room shone brightly as lights began to shine from all angles. And it was before them. Bombs.
Everyone froze in shock as they all saw the bomb. It was an remotely controlled as well as an antimotion bomb. Antimotion in the sense that red laser like-lines were displayed on the ground such that if one crosses the line, the bomb would explode. There was no escape. He knew he had reached his end. Every single day, that feeling hunted him down. The feeling that one day he would die due to the nature of his job. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he dialled his daughter's phone number.
"Hi daddy" a little girl's voice beamed
"Hey sweetie" he called out.
"Dad what's popping?" the girl's voice beamed again. This made him laugh despite the condition despite the condition he found himself in.
"Nothing's popping Claire, just know that I love you" he replied. He cut the call as he wiped his tears. He was ready to accept his fate. The bomb began to beep. A countdown began as people began to run for their dear lives. To run was a problem as he felt his legs paralyzed. Everyone one had run out of the hall. It was only him that was left. The timer began to countdown.
"10....9.....8....7...."
"Rod!!" his men shouted as they were outside the hall
"6....5.....4.....3...."
Wane pushed him as to jolt him back into consciousness. It was as if he was being awakened from a slumber.
"Run!!" Wane shouted as he too ran out of the hall. Now the question is, can someone run out of a 30metre hall under two seconds?
"2....."
Detective Rod ran outside as fast as his legs could carry him. He was getting closer and closer to the exit.
"1..."
"Rod!! be fast!!" his men shouted. Just as the bomb was about to explode, he jumped out into the clear open. His men hurriedly put him inside his car and drove out of the building. They all stared at the exploding building, which in no time soon, collapsed.
