blood and thunder episode 8
1:06pm… They arrived back at Zeus’s place and were so happy, they busted champagne as they celebrated by the swimming pool at the back of the house and cleaned themselves up. They drank and ate happily “Today, we celebrate our success” Zeus said happily as he stood beside the pool “Yeah!” they all cheered happily “Thanks to Luke, we made a clean get away” Zeus said smiling “Luke the Man” God-Eye said “Yeah” Hades replied “Enjoy my brothers” Zeus said and then walked to a deck chair and sat down; they were all on shorts. Luke and Ade sat at the edge of the pool “You having a good time?” Ade asked “Yeah, definitely” he replied “Can I ask you something” Luke said “Sure anything” “I was wondering, how did we get all those weapons?” “(laughs) Zeus has military connection in Africa and Europe and Asia, he’s more powerful than you think.
I know you’d be wondering why he does this. Well, Nigeria is a hærd place where if you don’t have connections you’d find it hærd to get a job; Zeus’s father and mother were killed in politics and after his father’s death everyone des**ted us. We came to Nigeria from Abu Dhabi to spend time with our parents but the same week we came back, they were killed. Zeus was angered and wanted revenge; those who killed our parents didn’t hide it from us, they were confident about it but they didn’t know that the money they killed my father for was in one of Zeus’s offshore account in the Gulf of Mexico. Everything our father worked for was taken from us because our father happens to be very secretive about his resource that’s why we lost it all to the government.
We try to get help from the government but it seemed impossible, Zeus decided that we would stay here in Nigeria and he would make sure that they all suffered; he made a list of all these people. Zeus has a child hood friend, an Arab billionaire by the name Imran Aziz who tried to make Zeus come back to UAE promising that he would make a better life there in UAE but Zeus knew it was more than just a better life because we decided to make a change and take all that belongs to us and we will not stop until we have taken and killed every one of those plutocratic thieves” “I understand perfectly what you saying but about the money, how much is it? And do they know it’s with Zeus?” Luke Asked “It’s a project money of about 500billion dollars which 25% percent of it was a loan from the Emir of Dubai and another 25% was from money raised by the other politicians 40% was from my father’s farm and national business while 10% is a loan from America.
The wh0le money was for the development of certain areas in Nigeria but my father’s goal was cut short by his friends” “I understand how you feel” ‘Yeah I know” “Am solidly behind you guys to the end” Luke said “Thanks” Ade said smiling “What about Hades and the rest?” Luke asked “Well, life has been hærd until Zeus came their way and one by one we gathered and made a better life for ourselves. The thing is that every one of us are graduates from schools but fu-Ck the government for ignoring our skills.
Hades you see is an Electronics engineer, Evil Spirit is a Chartered Accountant, Drummer is a Chemist, God-Eye is an interesting Mathematics Engineer, I am a professional computer scientist and as for he’s a Zeus Mathematics scientist. We all have what it takes to be greatest men alive but it ain’t gonna happen the way the world sees it” “I get it, you know I am a Quantum physics scientist but I work in a small food factory as a delivery man” Luke explained. They kept talking but then they heard a female voice “Zeus?” a female voice said; everyone turned to look upstairs and in a window stood a perfect beautiful lady.
Luke was lost as he stared at her in amazement; the others were not as surprised as Luke because they knew her “Angel, how you?” Zeus said “I wanna talk to you” she said with a straight face and Zeus stood up and went in,side. Luke was still lost “Waw, who’s that girl?” Luke asked Ade “That’s our only beloved sister, my sister, born and grew up in Abu Dhabi” Ade said “God d–n, I have never seen a woman so beautiful, she looks Arabic” ‘Yeah she does, that’s nature but let me warn you, that is one girl you don’t wanna go near” Ade said “Why?” “(Laughs) Zeus treasures her like a gold egg and doesn’t allow any living man near her except me” “But isn’t that too much” Luke said “You think so?” “Why does he protect her so much?” “Because she’s all that reminds him of our beautiful mother and he believes that one day the right man for her will come, so he doesn’t want any man to mess her up and doesn’t want her getting involved in this” “I get it” Luke said…
They continued and enjoyed their celebration with hopes to achieve further victory
Episode 9
Six Months Later… Over the past times, there have always been successful in their operations and today they plan another attack “For a very long time, I have thought about us hitting the Central Bank of Nigeria in Abuja. I planned on us hitting it with powerful weapons but I was wrong because Ade here has help us discover a better way of hitting it” Zeus said “Zeus, I do not doubt our abilities but this is CBN we’re talking about; it’s a place where no one has ever hit because that can’t be possible” Drummer said “(Laughs) I said same until Ade let me in on some things” Zeus said “So what did Ade discover?” God-Eye asked “Ade over to you” Zeus said; Ade then stood up and walked to the screen and opened a layout and map of CBN “Sometimes, you do not fight fire with fire; a better way of going into the central bank is through business” “Business?” “Yes Business, I have been working on this for a while now and I have everything ready. The Central Bank of Nigeria saves the country’s money in two forms which are: Cash and Digits.
The cash is are kept in the cash vault and it would be impossible to access the vault because no one goes into the vault and the putting of money in it is done by computers. And if the vault is to be opened, we need three important personnel; the Governor, the Deputy, General Manager, they will have to voluntarily allow the computer scan the finger, their Iris, and mind but if it detects fear, the vault will not open, even if we successfully open it by slim chances, we can’t go in because the vault will automatically lock us in and fry us with lasers because we are unauthorized” “Jesus, that’s no longer security but wickedness” Luke said and they laughed “I agree” God-Eye said “The only way to get money is through the digit vault; there are various trusted personnel permitted to put in money in the digit vault using a particular registered Tablet but there is only one person who can allow the removal of money and that person is the Governor himself. He would have to give a finger scan, voice pass and eye scan; after this a USB port will be opened for us to connect this Tablet” he said showing them a Tablet “There is only one tablet in CBN which can be connected to that USB port; if any unauthorized tablet is connected, the digit vault shuts down for the next 24hours but not to worry I have found my way into their main system and registered my own tablet and encrypted their accessing codes on it”
“You’re the brain” Luke said “You will connect this tablet and after you do, the computer might ask for an access code and I will give it to you, then the tablet will open two platforms labeled Give and Take; you will select Take after that the digit vault will open another platform for m for you to type in amount you want. The rest is up to you; our off shore account is encrypted to the tablet” Ade concluded ‘Waw, but first things first, how do we get in without guns” Luke asked; Zeus then continued “Yeah that, actually the Governor of CBN is having a meeting with executives agents from IBRD (World bank) Mr. Roland Frost and Kelvin Bridge and the good thing about it is that he has never met them before. Now here’s the plan; we will all be in Abuja a day before the operation and when the day comes I and Luke will go to CBN; Hades and Drummer will set up a road block as State security service 500meters from the airport for Mr. Roland and Mr. Kelvin who will arrive Abuja by 7:30am; they will be with an esc-rt who will take them to the bank; you will then tranquilize all of them at take them hostage until we are done; Evil Spirit and Machine Gun will hold the Governor’s family hostage just in case he tries to be stubborn, God-Eye will be our driver while Ade will be in the security room to shut down the cameras” “I have prepared your ID cards as IBRD agents” Ade said to Zeus and Luke “Also, I have prepared SSS uniforms and IDs for Hades and Drummer” “This operation will be carried out on the 24th of the next month but we will be there on the 23th” Zeus said “It’s a good thing we have the info now so we can prepare better; Luke from tomorrow I’ll put you through some training”… . Two weeks later…
As they prepared for the key operation ahead, Luke was undergoing, combat and shooting practice at another of Zeus’s home in a forest; Zeus was teaching him all he need to know in order to be a professional Taker.
Luke had learnt a lot of things in the past one month and he was doing fine but the only thing he didn’t have to learn was acrobatics which he was already good at because as a child he used to practice stunts with a lot of friends on the field as children in Nigeria did. They would also compete amongst themselves, some these stunts are what we called: Baflit, Steady, Spiderman Baflit, Danger, Big boz. Etc. I know it sounds funny but that’s what we actually call it in Nigeria.
