Mike's POV

.

I was in my office gathering files on the victims of the Holly thieves from the beginning hoping to find a link.

I can't let what happened yesterday to happen again, they are very good and well timed as well so I have to be smarter.

I looked through all the files and realized something is fishy, although it's not a link yet but I'm sure there's something.

There was a know on my door and I invited the person in and it turned out to be the chief in charge.

" Good morning Sir" I greeted standing up as he entered.

" Morning, please have your sit" he said and I follow suit.

" How's your search on the Hollyhoods?" He asked.

" They are smart, I'll give them that.....but I think I might have a lead, though it's not potent" I replied.

" What do you have?" He asked and I draw the files closer to him.

" These people aren't just going after some random Rich people, all of them have one thing in common" I said.

" They are all archeologist or anthropologist, and they all have their company" I added.

" So what are you saying?.....you mean they have a purpose or what" he said.

" Exactly, and at the look of things this is not a robbery as they want people to believe, this is revenge" Mike said.

" Revenge?"

" Yeah, revenge....they knew so much about these people.....they wiped their accounts without any trace as well" I replied.

" There's something you should know, Mr Daniel's car was found in a corner this morning " the chief said and I was confused.

" What happened?...I told him to go to a secure place" I said.

" Well, He was found dead in the car and all his account was cleared as well" he added.

" What!, No, No....."

" Someone must have seen something...have you checked the CCTV?...any CCTV around the area?" I asked.

" It was hacked, we got no lead" he answered.

" Hackers, hackers are worldwide pest... dealing with this people will be harder than I thought" I said.

" Mr Daniel's driver said someone grabbed him from behind and rendered him unconscious and by the time he woke up they were gone"

" We have to get these people....we really have to" the chief added.

" We will, there's something I need to do but I want you to find out any link between these people" I said giving him the file.

" I need more info on those people so I can figure out my next plan" I added.

" Where are you going?" He asked.

" There's only one person among these people who is not an archeologist or anthropologist"

" ....the first person the Hollyhoods visited, Also the first person to mentioned the name Hollyhoods" I said.

" Ex deputy commissioner of Police Mr Christopher Bassey" the chief said.

" What can you get out of him?...his life is a mess now, they ruined his life completely" he added.

" I'll have to go first....let me hear what he has to say and why they came after him" I said then stood up.

" You need back up?" He asked.

" Nah, I'll be fine" I replied and we both went out.

.

I went outside and got inside my car and drove off, a while later my phone started ringing.

I grabbed my phone and check the caller and I smiled as it turned out to be Olivia and I answered.

📞 " Wow, I'm surprised you call first" I said.

📞 " Well, since you refused to call.....I decided to do the honor.....I called yesterday it was unreachable" she said.

📞 " I'm sorry about that.....I was trying to focus that's why, these people are smarter than I expected" I said.

📞 " You mean the Holly thieves ?" She asked.

📞 " Yeah, they successful killed that man yesterday and collected everything he has.....what kind of heartless people are they?" I said.

📞 " OhmyGod, why are these people like this?, That was evil"

📞 " you have to get them Mike....only you can do this, I believe in you" she added.

📞 " I know and I will...I have to go now, I'll call you later and see if we can meet" I said.

📞 " Okay, please be careful" she said.

📞 " I will.... thanks bye" I replied then ended the call.

A while later I arrived at the ex commissioner's location and I look for a spot to park my car.

I got out of my car and head into the house which was vacant by the looks of it and dirty as well.

I got to the door and knocked but I got no response, I knocked four more times but got no response.

I was about to turn when I heard the door opening and I saw the man and I was surprised.

He looks dirty and rough like a mad man, and also very lean that the clothes looks too big for him.

" Are you Mr Bassey?" I asked.

" Who are you and what do you want?" He asked.

" I'm Agent Hawk..... I'm currently working on the Holly thieves, case" I said and he looked at me.

" Oh, It's you...you have to get those bastards, you have to stop them...I need my money back" he said grabbing my hands aggressively.

" Heyy, calm down.......I need to get some information from you in other to catch them" I said.

" Please come inside" he invited and I followed.

The horrible smell from the house is weakening, the place is deserted and dirty as well.

We got to the living room and I sat down on the couch while he sit on a stool.

" Can you tell me exactly what happened to you?, I mean your encounter with the Holly thieves, I said and he sighed deeply.

" I was in my private apartment resting and suddenly I saw them entered, at first I didn't know what they want" he said.

" The next thing they do is grabbed my right hand and press it on one scanner to get my fingerprints"

" Then the leader told me"

" Let me tell you what's going to happen to you in the next 24 hours, you'll have nothing in all of your accounts"

" You'll lose your house, you'll lose your job, you'll be in debt.... you'll lose everything starting from now"

" I'll take everything you have in your possession"

" I'll ruin your life completely that you will become a laughing stock, nothing in your life will ever be good"

" Those were their exact words, Everything they said came to pass, they ruined my life completely....they made me laughing stock"

" I lost all my houses and cars, all my four bank accounts was cleared and even made me borrowed from the bank which I did not"

" They hacked my life, they hacked everything hackable in my life, even my SIM card was hacked"

" My DStv channel was hacked and I'm down with nothing, my wife and children left me and travel abroad"

" I'm all alone...the government compensated me with some money but it's not enough to cover all that was lost"

" My life is a mess and I can't even go outside as I please without being mocked, if not my son who sent some money to me in few weeks I would've die of hunger" he concluded.

" You have to catch them...you have to get those bastards and have my life back, they all have to be caught" he added crying profusely.

I was stupefied with all that he narrated, they indeed ruined his life and now he's miserable and hapless.

Who are these people and how are they able to do all these, these are not just ordinary people, they are too smart and intelligent.

With all that he just said, I'm now convinced that they are not robbing as they want people to believe.

This is a revenge and they are going after them one after the other, but I need to know what happened.

" What did you do?" I asked and he look up at me confused.

" What do you mean?" He asked back.

" If they wanted to rob you then they wouldn't have gone that far, this is revenge so tell me what did you do?" I asked again.

" What are you talking about?, I didn't do anything, they robbed me, ruined my life and you're telling me this rubbish"

" Your Job is to find these criminals and you're here spurting out stupid questions" he said angrily.

" You really want me to help you?, Then you'll have to tell me what you did... what did you do?" I asked again.

" I don't know, I swear I don't know.... what could I have done to make them do this, I didn't do anything" he said.

I bring out the pictures of the Hollyhoods victims and showed it to him.

" Do you know those men?" I asked.

" No I don't, but I see them on the news, I know they are also victims like me" he replied.

" So you've never see any of them before except on the news" he asked.

" No, I don't know them" he replied.

" Have you ever had any relationship with archeologist?.....or you're involved with any of them" I asked again.

" No"

" You're not helping here, what can you tell me about the Holly thieves , anything...clues?" I asked.

" I think there's something" he replied.

" Okay, what is it?" I asked.

" Their leader, she's a girl....I couldn't see her face but I know she's a youth" he replied.

" A girl, what about the rest what can you tell me about them?" I asked.

" Nothing, she was the closest to me and she spoke to me, but one thing I'm certain of is that they are all still young" he said.

" Anything else you'd like to share?" I asked.

" That's all, is it enough to get them?" He asked.

" You didn't provide much information to get them, for all I'm sure of is that they ranges from 28 downward which is impossible to pinpoint"

" Since you have nothing else then I think I should take my leave now" I said standing up to leave.

" Please, do you have any cash with you?..... I'm almost out of food and I have nothing left with me" he pleaded.

I took pity on him then bring out my wallet and give some thousand notes and he smiled.

" Thank you very much" he replied.

" Take care" I replied then went out of the place.

.

When I get into my car I started thinking how else to approach this holly thieves, this is not robbery it's a revenge.

What exactly happened that made them do this, I need to find out in other to get them.
