Episode 26
Desmond’s POV
I was taken back to the station by the very car that came to get me and immediately I got down all the officers came out.
The agents apologized for the way they acted earlier and they left, then the DPO came to meet me.
” I got a call from the national district, who would have tried to frame you” DPO asked.
” I don’t know……I’m still thinking ” I replied as I entered the Station.
” who are those people?…..they are clearly not one of ours, I’ve never seen them before” DPO said.
” they are not a police officer…….they only use that as a disguise ” I said.
” do you now see what I’m talking about earlier?……don’t you think they are coming after you……for what you’ve done” he said.
” whaaat, You still think they deserve a second chance when they get to do what they want anytime they like” I said.
” you’re not seeing the bigger picture here…….see what they did to that poor boy they dumped in my boot” I said.
” do you know the condition they put the kid’s family?……did you have any idea what that boy must’ve went through?” I asked.
” They killed him like he was nothing and you’re still thinking of second chance……they didn’t give that boy a second chance ” I said.
” Look Mike…… You don’t get what I’m saying I……..”
” No Sir, YOU don’t get what I’m saying…….i understand what you meant but it doesn’t work like that anymore” I said.
” let me ask you a question……..have you ever been at war, have you ever find yourself in a situation whereby it’s you against a whole lots of them”
” yeah, that’s what I thought…..at that moment you don’t get to think about how you capture them……you are in a situation whereby it’s either you kill or you’re killed”
” ……All you can do, all you can think of at that moment is way to kill them all” I said.
” mmmm…….It’s been a long day for you Mike, why don’t you go home and rest ” he said.
” No Sir…..i don’t need to rest…..i need to find those bastard, I need to make them pay” I said.
” you won’t find them in this state…..why don’t you go home and rest, think of who would want to do this to you…..go home and think…..then tomorrow we can begin” he said.
” it’s still afternoon Sir,…..i….”
” it’s an order Mike, ” he said interrupting me and I sighed deeply.
” yes sir ” I said then went to my office to grab my things.
After putting my things in the bag I head out and the DPO handed me a key and I wondered what for.
” since your car is still at the FIIB facility, you can have one of the police bike outside ” he said.
” thank you sir” I said.
” you’re welcome ” he replied and i went outside to one of the bike, I ignited it and drove off.

Author’s POV
Desmond was half way away from the station on his bike when five of Mr Wellington’s men are followed him silently on their bike.
Desmond have no idea he’s been followed then one of the men draw out a gun and pointed it at him.
The guy targeted Desmond and shot at him and as Desmond made a turn at a corner the bullet hit him at the back.
He lose control of the bike and he fell on the ground, he turn around and see the men on the bike coming closer to him.
Desmond quickly hide beside the car and use it as cover as the men continue shooting at him.
He pull out his pistol and ran away from that position as he see that they are getting closer to him.
Desmond targeted one of them on the bike and shoot at him, he targeted two more and shoot at them and they fell down dead.
The remaining two jumped on the bike and tried to run away, Desmond see this and ran after them.
Then he stopped and targeted them then shoot, the bullet hit the guy riding the bike which cause it tumble.
Desmond ran towards them and as the guys tried to ran away Desmond shot at them again and they fell.
Desmond got to them then shot at the first one on the head, then he left the second one.
Desmond saw a long rope tied to their bike then he untied it and tied it on the guy’s leg and drag him to the police station.
Desmond didn’t worry about the injury that he sustain or the scream of the guy he’s dragging away.
People are now coming out of their hideout and see as desmond drag the man on the ground.
Few minutes later Desmond reached the police station and all the officers were shocked when they saw him.
The guy was bleeding all over the place as Desmond dragged him, then the officers took him away from Desmond and lock him up.
” Follow the trail of blood on the ground you will see some dead bodies, do something about it” Desmond said to the officers.
” yes sir” they said and they went out right away.
The DPO came out of his office and was shocked to see Desmond and his condition.
” Mike….. What happened?” DPO asked surprised.
” they came after me……they realised their plan failed so they came after me” Desmond said.
” we need to get you to the hospital…..you are bleeding” DPO said.
” No…..call a doctor or nurse over, I’m not leaving this place until I know who wants me dead” Desmond said.
” Don’t worry about that……we will get it out of them…..but you need to see a doctor badly” DPO said.
” no Sir…… Just call one over to treat me here” I said.
” alright then….. If that’s what you want” DPO said then he went inside the station.

Desmond POV
(Evening)
The doctor just finished treating my wound and he assured that there’s nothing to worry about.
It’s been hours now that I’ve been hearing the scream of the guy that I dragged in with me to the station.
Just after the doctor left my office the DPO came in.
” how’s the Arm? ” he asked.
” I’ll live……I’ve seen worse” I replied.
” I’m glad to hear that” he said.
” so did he finally tell you who sent him?” I asked.
” I’ve never see such a person before……it’s like he’s sworn to secrecy or something……we did everything to him but he wouldn’t budge ” he said.
” you tried everything?…….everything like what? ” I asked.
” we beat him with cane, iron Rod, whip, hot water, heated iron and every other torture to get the truth out of him…….all he did is scream but wouldn’t say anything ” DPO said and I couldn’t believe what I’m hearing.
” you call that everything?……that’s not a torture, you’re cuddling him…..treating him like a baby, how do you expect him to react when you pour a hot water on him……… Of course he would scream not that it pain him” I said.
” how do you suggest we do it again?” he asked.
” let me show you how they torture criminal” I said then stood up and we left my office.
” Get me a pack of long Needles” I said to one of the officers.
” Needles sir? ” he asked unsure.
” Yes Needles…….long ones and hurry up” I said.
” okay sir” the officer said and he left immediately then we went to the interrogation room.
” Needles?…… What’s for? ” the DPO asked.
” You will see” I replied as we entered the room and saw the guy being beaten.
” Stop beating him…..let him sit down ” i said and the officer did as I tell them, and sat him down on the chair and I sat before him.
” they told me you refuse to spill who sent you…….but don’t worry, you will” I said.
” I don’t know what you’re talking about” he said.
” you will soon enough ” I replied and just about few minutes later the officer came back with the pack of needles.
” Good……now let’s begin” I said setting the needle before him and everyone was wondering what I was trying to do.
” hold his right hand firmly ” I said to the officers and they did as I told them.
I pick one needle prick him under his nail and insert the needle till the whole lot enter his hand.
” aaaaaahhhhhhhhh” he screamed out loudly in pain.
” you should get ready cause all of these needles will enter your hand till you give me what I want……and if the needle finish I will have them buy another one” I said.
I can see some of the officers looking away not able to look at the t©rture.
” if you aren’t strong enough to take the torture you can as well leave this room” I said to them but none of them leave so I continue.
I pick another needle and prick the index finger and insert the whole of the needle, the guy started screaming and shaking trying to break lose.
” hold him down” I shouted at the officer and they did tightly, then I pick up another needle.
” Wait, wait, wait, I’ll talk, I’ll talk……i swear i’ll talk” he screamed breathing heavily.
” No I don’t think so” I said then I insert it into his index finger and he started shaking vigorously.
” I’ll talk…..I swear I’ll talk …..I’ll talk” he screamed.
” Then I’m all ears……who sent you?” I said.
” Mr….Mr……Wellington, Mr George Wellington ” he said and I’m not surprised cause my mind thought of him but I’m sure.
” that’s impossible……..honorable George Wellington will never do such a thing……he’s probably lying” one of the officers said.
” how do we know you’re telling the truth?” DPO asked.
” I swear I’m telling the truth……he sent us to kill him……..please I’m telling the truth, the torture is too much ” he begged.
” he’s telling the truth ” I said.
” how do you know that?……why would he want to come after you?” DPO asked.
” He accused him of killing his son” the guy said.
” What’s the connection between him and honorable Biodun Bakare’s son?” DPO asked.
” He also wanted the position of house of Rep, and his only competition is Hon. Biodun Bakare, so he killed his son so that he can lose focus on the upcoming election” he said.
” Oh I see” DPO said.
” His days on the land of the living is up…….he should be ready to join his son” I said then went out of the room.
” wait wait wait……..what are you trying to do? ” DPO asked as he followed me out of the room.
” I’m going after him” I said.
” No, you’re not” he said.
” whaaat……so we are just going to let him escape especially now that it’s dark” I said.
” he’s not escaping…….you’re not getting me……..I’m taking some team with me now and we are going over to his house to arrest him without you” he said.
” c’mon Sir, let me come with you” I said.
” No Mike, I can’t let you……….you’re injured…..you’re not strong enough, the police force is not ready to lose a great officer like you……so rest” he said.
” but Sir… I’m fine… I…”
” Don’t push it….Mike,……don’t worry, we will arrest him” he said.
” alright sir, but he has to pay” I said.
” and he will…….you can’t go home either, you don’t know if they are still out there……so you will have to sleep here tonight” he said.
” okay sir” I replied then he went to his office.
A while after the DPO and all the officers gathered with their guns, ready to go over to Mr Wellington’s house.
I stood at the station watching them as they all loaded up into the vehicle, and they drove out of the station.
” this is my fault, I should have kill since that day he sent those men after me, I should’ve put him down ” I said to myself.
About half an hour later one of the officers around came to me.
” Sir……the phone is ringing ” he said.
” whose phone? ” I asked.
” it’s from one of the men you killed” the officer said and I collected the phone from him.
I saw the caller ID to be boss and I wondered how could he be calling when the police are over at his place then I decided to trace where he’s calling from.
I open my laptop and connected it with the phone and begin tracing the call then I decided to answer the call to make it faster.
” Why aren’t you picking your call?…….Just tell me you got that crazy ba$tard son of a b****h” he said over the phone which confirm he’s the one.
” Actually, I Got Them” I said and I heard him gasped out loud at the other side then I finally got his location which is different from where the DPO went to.
” the crazy ba$tard son of a b****h Got them, remember I told you if you ever sent someone after me that you will hate yourself ” I said.
” Guess what……….I’m Coming For you “.
