chapter 4
Cameroon's Pov;
As I walked back to my room, I couldn't stop meditating over the discussion I just had with Dad.
" I'm going to handle over the key to you son. It's your right since you're the eldest son; but before then, there'll be a meeting where I'll tell the other members of this family.I need to inform them before handing the key over you " he said
I was shocked to my bones and couldn't say anything. I didn't even know how to act.
I'm so confused right now.

REELERS
Master took the stick and walked to the first picture. He placed the stick on it, using it to touch it and faced them again
" I don't need to tell you who this is" he said
" He's Mr Myles and as you all know, the owner of the treasure house and our main target. I got information this morning that his eldest son - Cameroon Myles Diaz, is in town. Hope y'all know what that means?" he asked
They all turned to look at themselves in confusion
He sensed the confusion amongst them and cleared his throat, getting their undivided attention once again
" there's gonna be a homecoming party held in their mansion. I don't know when yet, but I want you all to get ready" he said and paused again
" because we are going to that homecoming party" he announced, letting out an evil grin

The rest of the week was business as usual for the REELERS.
They carried on with their normal activities.
" The ship will start sailing at exactly 12 noon. We've discussed this before and you guys already know how to get in. Dress in your attires and act normal. Stay on the ship and don't act suspicious" one of Masters 'special men' as they are called, explained to them. His name is Regard.
It was their first mission for the week. they are to get a large quantity of hard drugs from a ship that would be boarding few days from then
The ship would be well guarded, so they had to be extra careful.
Not like it was their first time though.
" you'll be provided with all you need to make the operation successful, always communicate with your ear pods and don't get too sniffy." Regard said
" The drugs will be in a briefcase, with a man name - Jacobs Ben; always be at alert - don't forget "
" the rest information will he provided later on. you may all go back to your bases" he instructed.
There was a loud murmuring from the crowd
" any questions?whats the murmuring for?" regard asked
" Sir...the persons for this mission haven't been selected." a young boy from amidst the crowd said
Regard smiled
" Yeah. I know that too well, but each person here is expected to get prepared for this mission - Masters instructions. The persons that would go will be selected earlier on from amongst you also" Regard explained further
The murmuring continues still. He stared at them with no atom of emotion on his face. His face is as hard as a rock.
The special men of Master can always be distinguished by this features - tall, huge, rough, hard, Stony face, broad chest, muscular arms and deep voices. They are also his guards and special advices, and they are just two - Regard and Rhoko.
" You mentioned the mission taking place on a ship, that means we would be under water. how then are we going to get out of the ship when the operation has been carried out? or are we gonna wait till the ship gets to its destination?" another person asked.
This questions brought lots of murmurings.
" Silence" Regard shouted and order was immediately restored to the hall. They - the Special Men, were also very feared and respected
" I like that question; but I don't have an answer to it right now. I don't have all the information you need to get"
" We'll have another meeting before this week runs out and then we'll discuss about the things bothering you and I'll explain further" Regard explained
" any more questions?" he asked. The whole place was so quiet.
Regard assumed with their quietness that there were no more questions
" If there are no more questions, then you all may return now" he said and walked out of the hall.
The loud murmuring returned immediately as each person struggled his or her way out, heading to their respective rooms
Anissa walked hand in hand with Murphy
" Aren't you going to you room?" she asked him when they passed his room. He smiled but didn't stop walking, as he led the way to her room
Anissa shook her head and went after him. He got in before she could get to him
" if you keep acting this way, people are gonna start thinking there's something going on between us" she said tiredly, taking off her jacket
" and why are you bothered about that? dont you want it?" he asked her smiling.
she shot him a hard glare and he stopped smiling immediately
He sighed
" They won't mind Anissa, you worry too much , and besides; everyone knows we have been best friends since we were kids. So, trust me when I say they won't think that way. You're just getting delusional, that's all" Murphy explain to her getting up from the bed. He walked to her and tried to hold her shoulders but she brushed his hands off immediately
" We should start preparing for the mission ahead" Anissa said as she walked to her window. She looked out and saw many REELERS doing one training or the other
" Come of it Nissa. What can we possibly do. We've learned everything there is to learn - is it shooting of guns, fighting, shooting arrows. Don't kid me please" Murphy laughed frantically
Nissa ignored his statement and walked to the door.
She held the handle and turned back to look at him
" you coming?" she asked
Murphy sighed defectedly and walked to her. They both walked out, going to the open field
" What are we gonna do?" he asked her
" let's go somewhere more freer. this place is too crowdy" Nissa said walking to the deep part of the bush
" Well. well. Look what we have here" Murphy shrieked gazing at the river
He pulled his shirt and rubbed his palm against eachother.
" Don't tell me you're about to do what I think you're about to do" she asked him frightfully
" Come on dear, I'll be quick" Murphy said with pleading eyes
" Hell no Murphy. You know the rules. no bathing in the river, no drinking from it and...."
" not taking a nap close to it -I get it Nissa; so, what's the big deal. Besides, no one's here; just the two of us" he begged
" I'm not having this" Nissa said and kept her arrow back
" but you were the one that forced us down here. why are you backing away?" he asked her
" Will you stop this madness and let's go." Nissa said irritatedly as she gave him a cold look
Murphy sighed and wore back his shirt.
Nissa walked to the other part of the field
" are you going to the gun field?"Murphy asked her looking round her
She nodded slowly as she stopped walking
" This is not the way. Why didn't you tell me earlier instead of letting us waste so much time on the wrong path?" he groaned
" If only you werent acting like a jerk back there, then I would have told you" she lashed out
Murphy rolled his eyes
" Whatever. why do you like hidden place anyway?" he asked her, as he took the right direction to the gun field, leading Nissa who followed him behind.
" That's none of your business, and you better don't act like a jerk when we get there" she warned sternly
Murphy chuckled lightly
They walked for some minutes before they finally got to their destination.
" We are here, at last" Murphy announced, his hands wide apart. He looked at Nissa and smiled but she didn't returned it and that made his disappear too
"Whatever you do, just try to be as quiet as possible" she said and walked to the left side of the field.
There was a huge rock at the far end and she walked to it.
Murphy stared at her, wondering what she's gonna do there.
Behind the rock, were so many weapons. There were mostly used for trainings and minor operations
" Carefullll" Murphy yelled after her.
She turned back me and gave a salute gesture, before turning back again
She got to the rock and walked to the weapons.
She opened the barrel, that contains so many guns. She ran her fingers through it and she smiles
She shifted to it and inhaled the smell
Ohhh!! How she loves the smells of guns
Anissa stopped sniffing and took out a pistol. It is now of her favourite guns. She brought it out and placed it at her back pocket before taking two out of the bigger ones
She took out some bullets also and left, walking back to meet Murphy.
