C16 Chapter 16

… Hello distinguished Senator. Ranka dede Inakwa-a na! Ali said as he held his handset closer to his ear while sitting on a cushion in a well-decorated office. He placed his left hand on the table while holding the phone with his right hand. An office flat file and LP Laptop could be seen on the table. Though the room is small, the whole room was decorated in such a way that it speaks loudly of being owned by a wealthy person or organization. One can't look from one end to the other without seeing something made of gold. Ali was also dressed in English wear. His appearance speaks volumes of his intelligence. It's either he was dressed to suit the office or the office was decorated to match the person working in it.

Lafya abokina. Yaya mata da ya-a nka? Senator Yakubu's voice was heard from the other end.

Lafia kolo. How's your family, sir

We're okay?

That's good sir

When! Ali

Distinguished Sir!

I'm already on my way back. I'll be at the airport in the next 30 Minutes. Furthermore, I don't know what's on the ground. Not only that, but I would like to see both you and your crew, and even Sam and his crew as well. I may engage in political matters throughout the remaining days of the week. And I need to keep my home in others. Alert Sam and his crew to meet me at the office, and you'll get yourself and your crew ready. We'll be having a crucial meeting immediately as I reach. Though it won't take time, it's vital.

I'll do just as you said, sir. Where are we meeting?

That's a nice question. Mmmmmmm I don't want us to meet in my usual spot. I want us to meet in one new hotel that they just opened along St. Kelvin's expressway

Do you mean De JUDGES?

Exactly, Kei Ali, yawn no go kill you. Wettin carry you go there?

Ranka dede a work ooo

It's well. Let's meet there. Go ahead of us and book the mini hall.

Okay sir, hope other things will follow.

Hmm, Ali, my usual wine and normal drinks for you all.

Won't you host a mini party for us? Remember you're just coming back from vacation ooo

Ali, remember we have many things at hand. I will, but not now please let's focus on the business

Ok, sir. Just as you said.

Ali was still on the call when he got up and be walking around the office. As he ended the call with Senator Yakubu, he called Sam and told him exactly what the Senator said. He ended the call, then left the office.

A few minutes later, Sam and his crew were seen in the airport as they wait for the arrival of Senator Yakubu. Not long, their flight landed, and they welcomed him as they could. He had luggage that no one knew was inside. They just handled them with care as it was written on them.

… Sam, Hope you know where you'll drive us to? Senator Yakubu said as Sam was carrying him in the car

Yes sir. Ali said you would want us to meet at JUDGES. Sam said, as he was stylishly gazing at the silver watch Senator Yakubu was wearing.

What is it, Sam? Why are you looking at my wristwatch like that?

Nothing sir, just that I like it but as you're the one wearing it, I know I can't afford it.

Haha haha, the Senator laughed out loud. As you can't afford it, please take your eyes off it. Let it not miss

It hasn't gotten to that sir. Can't I admire the watch again? Sam said jokingly

Oga keeps admiring it, but I don't want it to lose. Senator said as he tapped Sam on his shoulder.

Ali and his crew were seen in the receptionist's office at JUDGE's hotel. He was comfortably seated on the waiter's chair in the office. At a time, he got up and went outside the building, just to see the car with Senator's vehicle number and two other vehicles behind it driving into the hotel. There was a smirk on his face as he watched them pack the car at the packing slots mapped out for them immediately He made the payment for booking the mini hall. He watched Senator Yakubu come down from the vehicle and then walked majestically to him at the entrance of the building as he has been guarded by armed men both from left and right.

As Senator Yakubu drew nearer, he went and shook his right hand

Distinguished Senator, good day sir

Senator Yakubu used his left hand and tap his shoulder as he replied… Good day. How're you doing?

I'm fine Senator but not to compare to you. You look good. And even younger.

Hehehehe, we're outside. Please spare me your jokes

You're welcome Sir

Thanks a lot. Senator replied, then Ali ushered them into the mini hall.

This place is good. The finishing looks nice as well… Senator said as he kept admiring almost everything in the hall. Looking from one end to the other.

Yes! You know it's new. Can beauty stand the test of time? Ali asked as he cleaned and pushed the table at the center of the room to face the Couch he decorated for the Senator.

It's well. Let's go straight to business.

I only need Ali and his crew, my bodyguards, and Sam and his crew. Other Policemen should wait for us at the bar. I'll soon join you, people.

Senator Yakubu said as he sat down. Policemen in their uniforms were seen leaving the room one after the other.

Senator Yakubu appreciated all of his workers for doing their work even in his absence. He ordered that some individuals should go and bring the luggage he came along with. They did. From the luggage, he pushed one carton in the direction where Ali was seating.

… Ali, you said you require a tracking device? Here it is. I require perfection in all you're doing.

Wow!! I'm just speechless. Hmm

I'm happy, sir. Thanks a lot. He said as he started opening the carton

The Senator started looking at each carton with care as if he was looking for something special.

… Sam, Open this carton. It's like that's where they packaged the laptops. In short. All these are devices for official use. Please, I want to avoid hearing any bad news these days. I require official correctness in all we do. I don't want a situation whereby I'll be complaining every day. If you're not ready to work, you can quit, if you're here to work, be efficient and smart.

Thanks, able boss. Kabir and Akim crossed as they thanked the Senator.

Yes! You remind me of something. Kabir, How far about that Barrister Louis case? I hope it's no more something to worry about since you people have eliminated Jimmy.

Senator, we're on duty. We later agreed not to kill him after the first attempt resulted in futility. I don't know how he got the information about our operation and so rounded his house with armed men. Ali intruded, not allowing Sam, Kabir, or Akim to say even a word.

What do you mean by he got the information about your operation? So, someone among you is now working to unseat me, or you've even plotted my death? He said as he got infuriated. He couldn't just bear what he heard. Furthermore, he stood up to pour his fury.

Ali do you now mean that you people have formed another circle in my circle excluding meeeeeeee????

No sir, I decided not to bother you since you told me you wanted to rest. I'll tell you how everything happened. Ali said as he also stood up trying to calm him down

You better start talking before I lose my cool. Senator Yakubu said as he kept walking randomly without a particular destination in mind.

Sir, we noticed Zick was using him and for that reason, he provided him with personal guards which he even pays from his pocket. Even as we speak, he still has some police officers guarding his house. Even his son who's still in secondary has his driver and bodyguard. That's a reason why the first operation was infertile. But because all eyes were on him, let's give a gap for a while.

As you let him be, how far have you gone in the case with Barrister Louis' daughter, as it's been fueled by Jimmy and the lady you mentioned then?

Sir, we organized an attack against Sandra. Though she was shot, she didn't die on the spot. As it stands now, they're no more in Abuja. After we searched for them in every hotel we've ever seen Jimmy, we later heard that they left the city for asylum.

What if they reinforce and come back? Is there anything impossible?

That's not possible. You need to see how scared they were.
