Episode 16
Desmond’s POV
After leaving the DIG’s house I reviewed my plans one more time as I made to take out this George Wellington once and for all.
The longer it takes the harder it gets, so i put a call through to him to find out his location.
I tracked into his cell phone to find his location then after a while the pointer shows that he’s at his office.
I drove to his office and some minutes later I got there, I realise it’s really a tall building and If I know any better I’d say he’s the one occupying the top floor.
I looked for any building around the vicinity which is as tall as the office, and the only building I saw far away from there is an hotel.
Luckily it’s 500 meter away from the office which means, I can still have a clear shot.
I drove to the hotel and parked by car at the parking lot, I got down and opened the booth then carry out the box, then entered the hotel.
” Good morning sir” the receptionist said as I entered.
” Morning love, I need a room” I said.
” okay sure” she replied then she asked for my name and I gave her a different name instead.
I payed her and she gave me the keys to the room, I carried the box and entered the lift and punch the button according number on the key.
I got to the floor given to me and entered the room, there’s a building blocking my view of the office from the room I was given.
So I carried my box and decided to go the terrace, I entered the lift and pressed the button leading to the top floor.
After I got there i went through the stairs then opened the door and luckily for me no one is there which is perfect for me.
I went to the left side of the terrace facing the company then set the box down.
I opened it then arranged the gun one after the other, after I’m through I get the rifle stand then set the gun on it.
Then a thought came to me which seems to be a good one then I put a call through to Mrs Idris.
” Hello” I heard her daughter said.
” Hello Ayo…..it’s me the officer from yesterday” I said.
” oh…Good morning sir” she said.
” morning, where’s your mother? ” I asked.
” she’s taking her bath” She said.
” oh if that’s the case, I want you to send your bank details to this number” I said.
” bank details?” she said surprised.
” yes, and do so immediately” I said.
” oh okay sir” I said then ended the call and after a while a text came to my phone from her which is the details I asked for.
I targeted the top floor of George office and magnified the camera to confirm the target but unfortunately he wasn’t in his office.
How is this possible?, I checked earlier and I made sure he’s at the company, so I bring out my phone and put a call through to him making sure that the number cannot be traced.
” hello” I heard a baritone voice said which I knew that he’s not the one.
” I want to speak with Mr George Wellington please” I said.
” he’s in a meeting right now……maybe you have to call a while later” he said.
” why don’t you just give him the phone, I’m very sure he’d love to see what I have for him” I said.
” like I said earlier……you will have to call back after the meeting is over” he said again.
” I have no problem with that……it’s just that what I have here can’t wait, and it’s kinda very important trust me, if you don’t give him that phone you will regret it for the rest of your life” I said then I didn’t hear anything again.
” Hello, Hello, Hello……. ” I keep saying over the phone and nearly give up then I heard his voice.
” Hello…..who is this? ” he said.
” Mr Wellington, so good to hear you” I said smiling.
” you haven’t answered my question, who are you? and what’s the meaning of this?” he asked.
” I have a package sent to your computer in your office, I’m sure you will want to see that” I lied hoping he would fall for it.
” what are you talking about?……what package?” he asked curiously.
” it’s a footage of you strangling Mr Dayo Idris in his house, looks like the young man have a camera in his house” I said and I noticed him worried.
” you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’ve got the wrong person” he said.
” oh please…….you and I know very well that’s a lie” I said.
” you’re bluffing” he said.
” bluffing?….seriously…….how about you go over to your office to find out” I said.
” there’s no way you can get to my office” he said.
” maybe but have you heard of technology lately, I don’t need to go to you or maybe you’d like for me to send it to all of your workers or maybe I could just post it online for all to see” I said and I heard him gasped.
” who are you and what do you want?” He asked.
” Go over to your office now and tell no one about this” I said.
” fine” I heard him said after a while I locked into the camera and saw him entering his office.
” I’m here now……..what do you want?” he asked sitting on his seat just the perfect position.
” Lock the door” I said and he went back to lock the door.
” Now whaat?” He said.
” 20 million and I promise to destroy the video” I said.
” whaaat…… twenty million naira?……are you crazy?” he said.
” do you think I’m joking?” I asked.
” fine but let me see the video first cause I can’t see anything in my computer” he said.
” transfer the money first” I said.
” oh please, we are in 21st century for crying out loud, that doesn’t work” he said.
” you’re not taking me seriously” I said then targeted his leg and shoot at it.
” aaaahhh” he screamed as it hit him.
” now you know I’m serious” I said.
” Boss, boss…… Is Everything alright?” I heard his bodyguard slamming at the door at the background.
” stop screaming and tell your bodyguard, you’re fine” I said to him.
” I’m…I’m…. I’m fine…..Usman” I heard him said then the banging stopped.
” Good now transfer the money” I said.
” To.. To which account ?” he asked and I sent the account to him.
” Have you got the message?” I said.
” yes, I did” he said groaning in pain then I see him typing on the computer.
” It’s done” he said then I put a call through to Mrs Idris.
” hello sir” Ayo answered.
” Have you seen it?” I asked.
” Sir, i just see an impossible alert on the phone right now” Ayo said surprised.
” Yes it yours…….i will come over to your place tomorrow, don’t tell anyone else just you and your mom should know about this” I said.
” okay sir” she said then I ended the call.
I put my eyes back at the target and see him still on his seat then I see his guard entered.
I targeted his forehead then shoot him and he fell down dead.
” I Hate Nonsense” I said then packed my things and gather them back in the box then left the terrace.
I went back to my hotel room to complete what I’m doing, I clean every trace that could lead them to the Idris family.
I erase the transfer record so no one will know what exactly happened to the money just like I did for my family.
I take my things out of the room and check out even the receptionist was surprised I didn’t even stayed up to 1 hour.
I entered my car and drove out of the hotel and went straight home, as I got to my place I hid the gun in a safe place.
I didn’t stay long either as I need to get over to the station cause I know I will be the number one suspect if they found out what happened to the boy.
I entered my car and drove straight to the precinct and some minutes later I pulled over at the parking space.
I entered the Station and greeted the officer I saw and went to my office, about an hour later the DPO screamed out my name.
” it’s about time” I said grinning to myself and went out to him.
” SIR” I saluted.
” Cut the crap…….stop all this bullshit” he said angrily which makes other officers to stare at us.
” I don’t understand what you mean sir” I said looking innocent.
” Where were you?….MIA” he asked.
” I had to go somewhere very important ” I replied.
” you mean an important place like going to kill Mr George Wellington” he said furiously.
” Oh My God,…….Mr Wellington is dead? ” I said surprisedly.
” so you’re acting as if you had nothing to do with it” he said.
” of course I had nothing to do with it……oh don’t tell me you’re accusing me” I said.
” Yes…..infact you’re a number one suspect which I’m very sure you will be caught” he said.
” I have no idea what you’re talking about cause I have an alibi” I said.
” oh please……you can just buy your way out by paying someone to be your Alibi ” he said.
” You mean I can pay someone like the DIG” I said and he was confused.
” what are you talking about?” he asked.
” well yesterday the DIG himself called me to come over, to meet with me and this morning I went there……..how about you give him a call to confirm” I said.
” You’re with the DIG? ” he asked.
” of course ” I replied.
” but if not you then who?” he asked.
” How should I know?…….the boy must have offended a lot of people” I said then he went back to his office and I smiled victoriously.

Author’s POV
As the DPO got back to his office he put a call through to Mr Donald Wellington.
” Yes DPO, have you put him in jail?” he asked.
” his Alibi checks out…….he’s with the DIG” the DPO said.
” I won’t take that nonsense…….if you can’t do your job then I will do it myself, and if you or any of your men tries to stop me……you will all die” he said.
” please sir…..please take it easy” the DPO said.
” don’t tell me to take it easy……when he killed my son none of you do anything about it” he said.
” I don’t care if he’s the one of not…..i will kill anyone I see as a suspect” he added then ended the call.
” what kind of thing is this?” the DPO said then his phone started ringing.
” Hello ” he said immediately he picked.
” Sir, The package is ready” the person said at the other end.
” Oh really, has the ship arrive at the harbour?” the DPO asked.
” yes sir, it is to leave tomorrow night” the person said.
” I will be there tomorrow, I need to go somewhere” the DPO said.
” okay sir” he said then end the call.
(Wellington Resident)
Mr Wellington was so furious immediately he dropped the call he had with the DPO and was pacing around the house.
” My son’s killer will never go unpunished” Mr Wellington said then called on one of his boys.
” Sir, I’m here ” the guy said.
” I need you to gather everything bit of information you can get on that officer called MIA” Mr Wellington said.
” Yes Sir ” he said.
” His family, his friends, any close relatives, all his dear ones, anyone related to him at all find them…….. I need to make him feel the pain of losing someone” Mr Wellington said.
” He needs to feel what I felt before I kill him”
