CHAPTER 4
It had been two months since one of the worst
Robbery Attack ever recorded in the history of
Mother crime hit the commercial capital city of
Warri, South-South, Nigeria. The attack which
recorded the killing of Fifty-Four people including
Security operatives and Bank customers was
described as the most unfortunate event that
shook not only the people of that region, but the
entire nation as a whole. The tragic event left
the various families of the deceased individuals
grieving for the death of their loved ones; while
pleading to the government that the perpetrators
of the act be brought to book. The Governor of
the state headed to the plea from these pained
families, thereby conducting a Mass burial for
the dead, and assured the families that the
government would definitely fish out the culprits
stating that anyone of them caught would be tied
to a stake and sent to the great beyond.
Although, a member of the Gang was caught on
that day of the operation whose identity couldn't
even be identified as he suddenly lost his ability
to speak. This was the handiwork of General
who made sure that Stone do not say anything
to the police torture unit that institutionalized
him in a solitary confinement. He was later
beaten severely until he passed away and his
body thrown into an inferno.
The Bank attacked was almost in the blink of
liquidation until the federal government
intervened and offered them a loan from the
federation account, so that they could proceed
with business. The money stolen was reported to
be over 7 Billion Naira, but it wasn't certain
whether the figure was altered to suit personal
favours.
Coincidentally, the lady who was the only victim
survivor from the attack was a Reporter working
with the State owned television station, and she
was now secretly working with the FBI/POLICE
in order to nab the criminals who nearly took her
life.
*******************************
Jude had just had another heated argument with
his ON/OFF girlfriend Margaret. The cause of
their crisis always revolved around her sleeping
with other members of the Gang. He had warned
her several times to desist from such act - of
which she promised to change, yet was still
being intimate with General. On this day, he
became vexed and decided to cool his head off
at a cinema by seeing a movie. Jude then made
out of his apartment shortly and went directly to
his garage where his fleet of cars were parked.
Regardless of the big brand of cars which he had
in his garage, he decided to step out with his
Toyota Camry vehicle. On getting to the cinema,
he was walking towards the Theatre after
purchasing the ticket, just then he received a
text message from his estranged girlfriend,
Margaret. In the message, Margaret had
informed him that she was leaving his house and
travelling to Abuja to return back to Warri in due
time and wished that he should have gone back
to his senses before she would return.
Jude was reading the message with excitement
whilst paying attention to his phone, just then, he
mistakenly bumped into a lady and she
immediately fell to the floor yipping in pain. Jude
was then instantly full of apology as he helped
raised her back to her feet. Their eyes soon
became interlocked, and then they froze admiring
each other as though their lives depended on it.
The lady was a full-blown beautifully created
specie of human. Her eyes were as white as the
cloud, and her fair-in-completion sleek skin was
glowing like the sun. Jude was immediately lost
in riveria as he could barely phantom when he
broke the silence and striked a convo with her.
"Permit me the honour of knowing your name
ma'am.." Jude muttered confidently still gazing
into her eyes. Evidently, he was oblivious that
the lady before him was the same person whose
life he helped saved at the Bank when Preacher
almost sniffed breath out of her.
"Uh! My name is Elo." She managed to utter
while curling her weavon backwards. Elohor
Emmanuel was one of the most sought after
News Reporter across Niger-Delta. Her findings
had greatly influenced the success of the
Nigerian Army toward curbing the menace of
militants activities terrorizing that region. It
became of - greater interest upon her now that
she was investigating another act of terrorism
while working as a secret intelligent undercover
together with the police, and especially as she
was affected by their attack. Her role was to act
as a research observer; while her motive was to
expose the criminals with the aim of reporting
their story, and also helping security operatives
to reduce crime to the bearest minimum.
"I'm Jude, you can call me Jude. Please forgive
me, but I'm triggered to know, why is a pretty
lady like yourself would be walking all alone in a
cinema, or - perhaps, are you here with
someone?" He enquired slightly raising his
eyebrows upward in a bid to appear more
handsome. Jude was instantly flirting with her.
However, he wasn't bad looking either and he
also had the structure of a body-builder.
Jude had built virtually every part of his body as
he was Muscular, had his chest pushed-up and a
very attractive collection of biceps to match
with. He was also Heighten, Dark-in-completion
and had full facial beard. His appearance could
best be linked to that of the Veteran Noolywood
actor, Desmond Elliot.
"Actually, I'm waiting for someone, my Elder
brother. We were supposed to see the movie
together." She lied. "Hmmm... Lemme even put a
call through to him now!" She said and quickly
brought out her phone from her handbag, and
pretended to be calling her imaginary Brother. It
was - all an attempt to perfect her plan in order
to avoid any suspicious antiques.
After a while, she made a grimace look and then
informed Jude that her brother was caught up in
a meeting at his work-place and would not be
able to show up anymore. She looked
disappointed and slowly started walking away in
a dejected manner, not until Jude interrupted her
and said that they could watch the movie
together; she succumbed immediately and they
started walking together into the theatre.
The dance movie started in due time and
everything was going smoothly until Elo started
pulling some attitude. All of a sudden, she
pretended to be dozing off while resting her head
on his bosom. Jude was quite uncomfortable
with such attitude of hers owning to the fact that
he barely knew her, but still, he let it slide and
feigned ignorance.
After the movie had ended, they were
dispatching from the hall, and suddenly Elo
developed cold feet. She was shivering and could
barely stand upright. Jude had supported her to
walk properly as she felt it was convenient to
rest a huge part of her body on him. As though
that wasn't enough, she lamented that she could
not board a cab to her area alone at that profane
hour of the night due to high rate of crime
present there. Her excuse being that the
situation would have been better supposing her
Brother came along.
Jude thought about her ordeal for a while and
offered that she pass the night at his place. She
gleefully hugged him and showed appreciation
for his kind gesture. Not long afterwards, they
made for Jude's parked Toyota Camry vehicle,
but not after Jude had ushered her inside using
Chivalry. About then, he ignited the car and
zoomed off almost immediately.
Finally, they reached Jude's multi-million Naira
Duplex apartment which he had all to himself,
and thereafter, things started going against
plans....
