? ” that’s true……what about them have you heard from them?” he asked.
? ” I tried their number but they are not responding, my guess is that they must’ve left the country just as I ordered them to……..since they completed their job” badmus said.

(two(2) months later)
.
After we’ve gotten ourselves a new apartment, we settled down and proceeded to make a new life for ourselves and make no contact to anyone.
My Mom bought a supermarket where she’s going to be working at and for no one to recognize her.
She’s known by her new name Mrs Enitan Rolland.
My older sister secure a job at one of the hospital in Lagos and fortunately she was accepted.
I made a few changes with her documents and I modified it through all her record in school so no one would know who she really is……and she started using her new name which is Abigael Rolland.
My younger sister don’t really have much of a problem cause she’s not yet gone that far with her education.
Since the waec exam will be starting in three months time, we registered her to one of the school in the vicinity and they accepted her.
She’s known by her new name which is Rebecca Rolland.
Since everyone changed their name I also change mine to David Rolland, but I don’t know what I need it for, cause all I wanted to do is to make those people pay.
I’ve used this two months to exercise myself and now I’m fully recovered, I can now walk with my two leg perfectly.
I trained myself more for what to come and make my plans perfectly, and I’m happy with how things turn out.
Also I’ve got everything I will be using ready, It’s time for me to put my plans in motion and to get to the root of all this.
I told my family about my plan but my mom didn’t agree with what I planned to do.
she wanted me to just let it go and let them go Scot free but I’m not having any of that.
I gather all the things i will be needing to execute my plans, since I still have the silence pistol with me so I put it in my bag cause I will be needing it.
I came out of my room then went to the parlour Where my family is waiting for me.
” Mom, I’m ready to go” I said.
” Desmond, why can’t you just let this go and forget about it……we have a new life now, let’s embrace this and let’s forget about the past…..what happen has happened” mom said.
” no Mom, we’ve talked about this and I’m not going back…….i need to stop them” I said.
” but that won’t bring them back my son……please” mom said.
” yes it won’t bring them back but there will be Justice for them……the dead cannot cry out for justice mom, it’s up to the living to do so for them” I said.
” and you think this is the way?” mom said.
” the delay of justice is injustice……..if we held back on the things that we need to do……we will only give the evil people chance to do it again” I said.
” can’t you just let this go…..you can’t take the law into your hands…..you are not a police” mom said.
” yes mom I’m not….but I’m a soldier and I fight for my country, if I don’t do this another family will fall victims in their hand and they will do the same to them” I said.
” we are lucky mom, others won’t be as lucky as we are…….only God know how many families they’ve destroy” I said then continue.
” Ev1l people will keep doing evil if someone don’t stop them and put an end to it” I said then continue.
” why would someone sacrifice so much for his country and still get kill by this same people he’s fighting for….it’s not right mom” I said.
” I get your point Desmond…..i just don’t want you to lose your soul” Mon said concernedly.
” don’t worry mom…..i won’t” I said.
” so nothing can change your mind?” mom asked.
” Nothing mom……this is what I want to do” I said.
” Okay then……do you have everything you need?” mom asked.
” yes mom……and I’m ready to go” I said.
” be careful son, and come back safe” she said then came to hug me.
” I will Mom” I said then we disengage and she went to her room.
Vickie also stood up and hug me as well.
” I’m with you on this bro…..don’t spare them…….every last one of them” she whispered in my ear and I smiled.
” I promise you that” I said and we disengage then grace came to hug me too.
” please be careful brother……..i don’t want to lose you too” She said.
” don’t worry baby…….you won’t” I said.
” I will be back very soon” I said then we disengage.
” Take care of each other……i will be back soon” I said then I went out.

(four(4) hours later)
.
The bus dropped me at the bus stop of Clifton city and then I look for a hotel and settle down.
People don’t know me in this town as the commissioner son cause I’m not always around.
Even some people don’t believe my father has a son cause I’m always away, I never get to stay for long which give me easy access to move freely without no one recognizing me.
After I settled down in my hotel room I put my first plan in motion, which is for me to know everything about inspector Olawale badmus.
I hacked into the police database in the city and search for which station the inspector is working at.
I spent hours searching for him in all database of the police record but I found nothing about him.
I was now wondering if that assassin lied to me about his name, as I was searching through it I saw something about one inspector olawale badmus getting promoted to the rank of ASP.
? ” This must be him” I thought then search instead for ASP olawale badmus and immediately i found him and where he’s stationed at.
Since I don’t know where he lives I will have to tail him back to his place, so I left the hotel and took a taxi to the station he’s working at.
As I got there i sat at the canteen right in front of the police station and wait for him, it’s almost night already he should be out anytime soon.
The woman in charge of the canteen asked me who I’m looking for but I just lied that I’m waiting for someone.
I bought something from the woman for me not to look annoying then I waited for three more hours but this inspector didn’t come out.
I’m starting to think that he didn’t come to the station today and it’s getting dark already, and I don’t want to enter the station and ask of him.
Then I saw him coming out of the station and entered into a car outside the station.
Immediately he drove off I stopped a bike and told the bikeman to follow his car and he did.
We followed his car for a while until he pulled into an apartment then I got down from the bike and payed him.
The inspector got down from his car and I watched as he entered the house, then I waited around the vicinity for night to come for me to approach.
Some hours later when everywhere is dark, I jumped into the apartment silently and make sure no one sees me.
I knocked on the door and after a while he came to open up and immediately he see me his eyes bulge out in shock.
Then i pull out the gun and I pointed it at him.
” it’s best you don’t shout or try anything crazy or else you will die” I said.
” where’s are your family?” I asked.
” Thh…thh…they are not around….they travelled” he answered immediately.
” good…..now we have the house to ourselves, so turn around” I said then immediately he did I pick up a flower vase and hit him with it and he fell down and blackout.
Then I dragged him to the dinning table and went in search for a rope to tie him up.
I look around the house then I found one in the store, I went back and lay him on his back on the dinning table then tied him up.
I went to the kitchen and I pick some knives and also fetch some water then went back to him.
I poured the water on him and he woke up catching his breath and he was shocked to see me.
” welcome back” I said to him then he tried to free himself but he couldn’t.
” don’t stress yourself……you’re helpless” I said.
” No…..you’re supposed to be dead” he said.
” oh you mean those fools, you sent to kill us? ” I said then scoffed.
” sorry to disappoint……they are dead” I added.
” SOMEBODY HELLLLLLP” he shouted.
” if you don’t want your wife and children dead…….I’ll suggest you shut up” I snapped at him and he stopped immediately.
” I saw their pictures…….they are beautiful…….so if you want them to stay that way I’ll suggest you shut up” I said.
” you can’t do this……what do you want?” he asked.
” just to ask you a few questions……if you answer correctly trust me you have nothing to worry about” I said.
” why do you want my father dead?” I asked and he was reluctant to answer me.
” I know something like this might happen which is why is picked this in your kitchen…….so I won’t ask you a question twice” I said showing him the knives.
” so let’s try again, why did you want my father dead?” I asked again.
” It’s what my superior wants” he answered.
” your superior?…….who’s your Superior?” I asked then he refused to say then I $tabbed his palm.
” aaaaaaahhhhh” he screamed in pain.
” I told you I won’t ask you twice, who is your superior?” I asked again.
” it’s…..it’s…… CSP(chief superintendent of police) Tunde Ajayi” he answered in pain.
” what’s his problem with my father?” I asked.
” I don’t know, all I know is that he and others want him out of their way” he said.
” Oh I see you’re a group of corrupt officers, I don’t believe that you don’t know anything…….I’m very sure you know the reason they wanted him dead” I said.
” All I know is that your father is hindering them to do lot of things and they want to take him out of way” he said.
” I see……….. and the reason they involve you is because they don’t want to get their hands dirty” I said.
” and also incase the plan failed you will be easy to take out without any trace leading back to them” I said.
” Now tell me…..Who is the top Dog?” I asked and he kept shut then I stabbed his other palm.
” aaaaahhhhh” he screamed again.
” who is the top dog?” I asked.
” (Deputy commissioner of police) Adewale Hassan” he answered and I was shocked.
I knew the man he is my father’s assistant, I never thought he could do something like this.
” tell me the name of the everyone in this group” I said.
” DCP Adewale Hassan but he’s now the new Commissioner of police……,CSP tunde Ajayi, ASP Paul Olawunmi, Inspector Ben Okoro” he listed then I find something to jot it down.
” the five of you joined forces together just to put my father away, you made my mother a widow, you made us children fatherless and you made me lose my sister” I said.
” trust me…..it’s not our fault but your father is just too stubborn, we never wanted it to go that far” he said.
” stubborn……just because he stood by the oath he took while joining the force, that made him a stubborn person?” I said pick another knife then draw closer to him.
” wwh….whaa….what are you doing?…..no please you can’t….no you can’t…..please I have family….my kids are still young” he pleaded trying to free himself.
” you should’ve thought about them when you decided to kill an innocent man, but don’t worry they still have their mother” I said.
” please……forgive me….. I’m begging you” he pleaded.
” Unfortunately, you won’t be able to read tomorrow’s headlines, so let me tell you today” I said.
” a police officer named ASP Olawale badmus was found dead in his house with a kn1fe stuck on his forehead” I announced and he was shocked.
” whaaaat” he shouted then i thru$t the kn1fe into his forehead and he died immediately.
I pull out the kn1fe and use his bl©©d to write “corrupted” on his white shirt, so people will know the kind of person he is.
I will pay the others a visit as well, I will get to them soon, they will pay with their life for what they did to my family.
