(some hours later)
” Alot of incidents happened last night here in Hanford city which one of them is kids being kidnapped”.
” Yesterday DSP Gbenga Adesola, the DPO of zoya district was involved in child trafficking”
” but thanks to our police department and also to the police great icon ASP Michael I Adams, he saved the kids from foreigners who came to our country taking our kids for slaves”
” Another strange massacre happened last night on the road leading towards the abandoned port, we found dead bodies on the ground”
Desmond is in his office sleeping when a knock came on the door and he woke up.
” come in?” he said and a constable entered.
” sir, there are reporters outside…..they want to see you” the constable said.
” okay, I will be with them in a minute” he said then the constable went out.
” is this dead bodies related to the child trafficking, or is it a clash between cultist”
” let’s hear what ASP Adams has to say about that” the reporter said then turned the camera to Desmond as he came out of the station.
” ASP Adams…what do you have to say about that”
” I killed those men……..After rescuing the kids from the foreigners, I went back to the port to pick up my car and they came after me with their weapon………i don’t know who they are or what they want or who sent them…….but they leave me to choice but to kill them” Desmond said.
” what do you have to say about the child trafficking” the reporter asked.
” All I have to say is that……we should be cautious of everything happening around us” Desmond said.
” if we notice any strange thing happening we should inform the police about it” Desmond said.
” this is our country, we can’t let foreigner treat us like a slave, don’t let anyone shut you up with money……let’s take action and protect our beloved country” he concluded.
” Thank you MIA, Now that we know the reason for the death of those people, but the only question remains…. Why did they want MIA dead?” the reporter concluded.
.
As he turn to leave some men and women rushed into the Station and went to meet him.
” Thank you so much sir, I heard you’re the one that save our kids, one of them Is my son…..I’m very grateful ” one of the woman said.
” you’re welcome ” he replied then the rest also came to show their appreciation.
The officer had to clear them away for him to go inside the station, and he went to his office.
He didn’t stay too long at the office so some hours later I went back home.

(Next Day)
Desmond’s POV
I woke up then remembered what happened yesterday, I don’t know what to expect after the death of the DPO but I know things are going to be different.
I got up and did some more exercise to stretch myself, did some push ups, and then went to the bathroom to have my bath.
Minutes later I got dress and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and then my phone started ringing.
I went over to where my phone is and check the caller ID and see that it’s the DIG calling.
” hello sir” I said immediately I picked.
” how are you MIA?” he said.
” I’m fine sir” I replied.
” I saw the news…….you went off the rail” he said.
” isn’t that the purpose of all this? ” I asked.
” I get it……but there are some things you need to consider…….Right now, I and the other DIGs, AIGs, commissioner are going for an urgent meeting in Abuja, we have all been summoned by the IG (inspector General) concerning what happened” he said.
” The IG? ” I asked surprised.
” yes, but don’t worry…..i don’t think it’s something to worry about” he said.
” okay sir” I replied.
” alright bye” he said then ended the call.
Woww so my actions reached the IG already, this is good maybe I should be doing this more often but I know that won’t be allowed.
How I hope they could understand that someone has to pull the trigger when no one can.
There are some things that you just need to do but this people don’t understand that.
I went back to the kitchen and continue my cooking.

(One hours Later)
Since my car is damaged I can’t make used of it for the main time, I will have to take it to the insurance company.
I went out of my house and take a cab to the district, and some minutes later I arrived at the station.
I entered my office and settled down, Not long after a knock came on the door and the officer entered.
” SIR” he saluted.
” yes Sergeant ” I said.
” you have a visitor” he said.
” visitor?……who?” I asked.
” they are from the national bureaucracy” he said.
” let them in” I said then he went out and four men in suit entered.
” MIA……isn’t it?” one of them said.
” that’s right…….ASP Adams” I replied.
” My name is Agent Edema Joshua, here with me are agent Destiny chukwutem, Agent Ayoola segun and agent adewusi Joshua” he introduced.
” you’re welcome ” I said.
” we are from the Center intelligence Agency and you’ve been summoned, you’re to come with us to Abuja right away ” he said.
” this must be the meeting the DIG was talking about earlier on phone ” I thought.
” right now?” I asked.
” yes……right away” he said.
” fine…..let me change” I said and they went out of my office.
Since I have my uniform here in the office I change into it, it’s been a while since I’ve worn the uniform.
Since I’m going for a meeting I have to be in my uniform, after I’m through I left the my office.
I got outside the station and saw some FIIB(Federal investigation and intelligence bureau) agents outside the station with guns in their hands.
I was lead into one of the cars and they drove off from the Station, about thirty-five minutes later we reached the FIIB office.
We entered and they took me to where the helicopter is, I and the four agents entered and the helicopter took off.
Almost an hour later we reached the National bureau agency in Abuja and the helicopter landed.
We got out and I followed them to the entrance of the office, we entered and took the lift to the place where the meeting is taking place.
They ushered me in and I saw highly ranked officers including the IG seated round a table and immediately they noticed my presence they turned to me.
” SIR” I saluted.
” welcome MIA, we’ve been expecting you” the IG said.
” I’ve heard alot about you, in fact I’ve been taking note of you for some time now” he said.
” we are here to discuss the situation concerning what happened yesterday” he said then continue.
” you did good rescuing the children from child trafficking and I personally applaud you for that” he said then I sence there’s a BUT coming.
” But, why did you have to kill the foreigners, not just one not two but all of them” he said.
” Sir, permission to speak” I requested.
” Go on ” he said.
” Sir, I was outnumbered…..and also it’s getting late, and also they are almost crossing the border and if that happens we can’t get the kids anymore” I said.
” and sir, I only shoot back at them in self defense ” I said and I see DIG Martins smiling.
I knew the reason he’s smiling, it’s because he knew that’s my only excuse.
” I understand, but if you just let one of them stay Alive, they will serve as proof that they are indeed into kidnapping…..cause if their people requested for the reason for their death we can give them one ” he said.
” But you didn’t stop there……the only other source as proof was also shot dead in the cell by You” he said.
” He is already unharmed……why did you have to kill him……you are a police officer not an assassin” he said.
” I heard you admit to the death of thugs around the same neighborhood” he said.
” yes Sir ” I replied.
” you kill them too?” he said surprised.
” sir, if I don’t they will kill me first, I was outnumbered as well, I have no choice” I said.
” you would at least injured them ” he said.
” Sir, it’s in the heat of battle……they are firing at me and I shoot back in self defense, I didn’t know they will die ” I replied.
” do you have any idea who they are?” he asked.
” I don’t know, sir” I replied.
” now you can see the reason why you shouldn’t go on killing spree” he said.
” wait outside…….we will call you in when it’s time” he added.
” yes Sir” I said then went out.

” what do you think we should do about him?, what’s your opinion?” the IG asked.
” I think we should pardon him, let us all be honest with ourselves the boy did a great job, it’s just that his method is not appropriate” DIG Martin said.
” The boy has the passion for adventure, I think we should transfer him to become an X-Squad” AIG Peters said.
” No I don’t think so, we can’t take him away from protecting the people from danger” DIG Martin countered.
” I think DIG Martins is right, MIA is good with the people…….he should stay around,….when he was in Clifton City I personally love him and the great job he did” commissioner Badmus said.
The other officers also give their review of Desmond and the IG decided to pardon him, then he sent someone to call him in.
One of the agents went to call Desmond and Desmond came back in then he saluted.
” MIA, we’ve decided to pardon you……when you’re in a situation like that….don’t become an a$$assin…….is that clear” the IG said.
” Yes Sir” Desmond replied.
” so MIA, you should take a two weeks break before you return back to duty” he said and Desmond looked at the DIG and he nodded affirmative.
” Yes Sir ” Desmond said.
” you may go” the IG said then he turned back to go.
” MIA” the IG called and he turned back.
” SIR” desmond said.
” Great Job” he said.
” Thank you sir ” Desmond said then left the office.
An helicopter took him back to Hanford City and after he arrived he took a cab back to the station.
While in the cab his phone started ringing and checked the caller ID and see that it’s the DIG so he pick up.
” Hello sir” Desmond said.
” Are you back in Hanford City?” He asked.
” Yes sir……I’m in a cab back to the station” Desmond replied .
” Okay…..hope you’re not too concern about what the IG said” he said.
” No sir, but why can’t they understand that someone has to the dirty Job, in a situation like that someone has to get things done” Desmond said.
” I think the IG understand what you just did, infact I think he’s proud about what you did but he can’t admit to what you did, and if you did leave someone behind without Killing them all would’ve been perfect” he said.
” I don’t think they have idea how that is, to be in war……all my calculations, all my brain could think of is the way for me to keep myself alive and to get things done……..there’s no time to be sparing life” Desmond aaid.
” I understand you, just use this two weeks to rest and regain your strength” he said.
” Okay sir” Desmond said.
” Alright then…..bye” he said then the call enddd.

Mr Donald Wellington was thinking of a way to get rid of MIA as he keeps pacing around his parlor.
” Sir, what should we do?” one of his men asked.
” I have an Idea” he said grinning.
” since he doesn’t have any family, no relative and no friends, there are people who love him and who he will do anything to protect” he said.
” what are you suggesting sir?” one hit boys asked.
” we will hurt the people of the city, especially those in his neighborhood, those in his vicinity” he said.
” place a bomb in a school bus, market place, let him feel bad and make sure you are discreet enough…… Make sure no-one sees you ” he said.
” since We can’t hurt him, we will hurt the ones he care about and after that….. I want you to plant a bomb in his car” he said.
” that will be dangerous” the guy said.
” then do something” he said.
” I have an idea sir…..and it’s going to work” the guy said.
” Good, I will show him he’s a nobody” he said.
