The president seems to be worried about the attack that happened last week at shoprite. The Chief of staff assures him that the security agencies are working on it but it would take time. Meanwhile Mr. Lukman (The director of NIA'S branch) as been given an ultimatum of an hour to catch those behind the attacks and down to his family he seems to have issue with his daughter but luckily for him they (NIA) got an hit on Ahmed's location. Ahmed on the other hand works on phase two of his plan but without seeing kcee and his team coming he was attacked leaving his son Alazam on the run with his so called plan 2. When Kcee figured out his so called plan 2, he phones the aso rock.
The following takes place between 10AM and 12PM
***************************
Time: 10:03:20AM
Location: Outside the radiography warehouse
Sirens of both ambulance & police vehicle could be heard all over yaba axis.
Couple of vehicles inform of ambulance went in and out of the warehouse, conveying both injured armed men and NIA agents. The police placed down a perimeter with a yellow crime tape in front of the warehouse meaning one goes in out except the ambulance but from different angle, people stood with questioning face, asking one another what happened.
The only thing they could tell was that they heard gunshots but couldn't fathom the cause of the gunshots.
A block away from the perimeter zone, alazam came out of an uncompleted building together with the scientist, walking towards a huge trash bin. He held a white briefcase with his left hand and a gun with the other hand. he looked suspicious as his eyes scanned the environment.
Due to the voices he heard, he quickly pushed the scientist to the back of the trash bin. He lowered himself together with the zixuan putting the gun on his head after placing a threat for him not to make a tiny bit of movement or noise.
After seconds the voices subsided. he raised his head slowly to see if anyone was standing right in front of him. Seeing he was clear, he held zixuan dragging him in a rough manner towards a blue van parked in the other side of the street
He opened the back of the van, tossed zixuan who's lab wear was now drenched with dry blood into the van. Zixuan fell and groaned in pain even as he rose to sit. alazam slammed the door and moved straight to the driver seat after sliding his gun at the back of his trousers. he placed the briefcase on the seat adjacent to him before igniting the van.
Smashing the turtle, the van accelerated from the area creating particle of dust in the air. While driving, he took out his phone from his pocket with the motive of making a call.
************************
Location: Mushin
Along downtown mushin, there are different warehouse of different sizes and for different purposes. Either a manufacturing warehouse or wearhouse stocked with goods.
A particular warehouse was however occupied by a group of secret armed men. With the kind of things found inside the warehouse, you could say that it's a terrorist hide out with different type of weapons, ammunitions, terrorist with weapons as they move about and also people working under tech.
A man from a distance is seen praying on his mat. He stood up, crossed his arms and fisted his eyes to the ground. he mumbled some words to himself before kneeling and bowing his head. Minutes later he was done. He took up his mat and rolled it. With a deep inhale, he walked out of the room with a faint smile. Still walking, he was crossed by a member of his alliance who handed over a phone to him after informing he had someone on the line.
"You have Alazam on the line for you"
"Alazam" he said with a narrow look "give it to me" he collected the phone and placed it on his ear.
Without waiting for an hello talkless of a proper greeting, alazam yelled with a trembling voice "dando, something bad just happened" he said with a panicking voice while he held the phone with his right hand and the steering with the other.
"What happened?" dando asked with a questioning look on his face. he changed the phone from his right ear to his left before asking again "where's ahmed?"
"He's dead, everyone is dead apart from the scientist and I" with a frown on his face, alazam said biting his lips and gulping repeatedly.
Dando made some steps away from a set of weapons. "relax alazam and speak to me, what happened?" He asked, walking towards a laptop, scrolling through sites for latest news.
Alazam relaxed from his abnormal breathing before replying, his eyes glanced at both the side and rear mirror constantly "we were attacked by the security agent, we were ambushed dando. they killed my father and everyone"
"Take it easy son, relax" he said after affirming what alazam told him through an headline he spotted on a news site "how do you know your father is dead?" he asked since there were no update on the death of ahmed.
Still driving, alazam replied "i heard gunshots after my father told me to bring the virus to you" he said as tears began to fall from his eyes.
"he died in other for the virus to get to you" he added with a sniffle.
Hearing that, dando shook his head slowly chanting some words in arabic "lai lai ih allah" he sighed then continued "where are you now?"
Alazam looked around then glanced at his watch before answering "i'm twenty minutes out of your location"
"and I hope you are not been tracked?" Dando asked as he ran his hands through his bald head while staring at akbar who walked towards him due to Dando's concerned look.
After glancing at the side and rear mirror, alazam replied "no baba, i took the city's tunnel down to a street which is impossible for them to track me"
"good" he nodded with a faint smile "and how's the package and the scientist?"
Alazam looked back and spotted zixuan rocking from side to side with his head placed between his knee. he then looked at the briefcase on the seat beside him "It's okay but the job isn't completed" he said with no tears on his face.
After searching for a location on his laptop, dando instructed with his eyes fisted on the system "okay when you get to Ojota bridge, halt. I have someone waiting for you. you'll change vehicle and head down here straight"
"eh baba" alazam nodded.
"allah yakaimu (god be with you)" and without waiting for a reply Dando ended the call and placed it on a table. he then ordered akbar to take some men with him to go fetch alazam while on the other end alazam keeps driving, staring at the side and rear mirror to be sure if he wasn't followed.
