Metlife Company, New York city.
“Mr. Madison. Please you may now enter to see the director, Mr. Doss just informed me to call on you immediately”
“Alright” the American agent replied the Personal assistance of the company director in his American accent and stand up almost the same seconds.
In less than three minutes, he was in,side the man’s office holding three separate doc-ments and was on seat when the director ushered him to sit down.
The director, who was working on the laptop placed on the office desk had to stop what he was doing after a minute more of silence in the office. The man cleared his throat first and looked up at the head of security.
“Mr. Madison” the director called first.
“I was told you wanted to see me, what else have you discovered from your investigation?” The director asked, he leaned back, he turned on a serious face and placed his arms on the armrest of the office chair to relax.
“Sir, I found that Christopher James couldn’t have helped the hackers gained access into our server alone without the involvement of an executive official in this company. I have made my findings and I enlisted this top 15 administrative official which I believed one of them has a hand in this” Mr. Madison answered.
“15 administrative officials !!” Mr. Doss squinted and rephrased.
“Yes sir. This is a duplicate of the doc-ment I’ve gathered and it contains names of 15 administrative officers of this company, I have enlisted with this file each of their incomes and earnings from few others that has personal business”
“Okay please continue” Mr. Doss urged, he stretched out his hand to collect the doc-ment Mr. Madison stretched forward.
“Among these executives, I flagged out some financial irregularities on a luxury resort in Cozumel. According to my investigation and the paperwork I made, the resort construction was completed 10 to 11 months ago and I had some of my men in Mexico check it out before they sent back this photo”
Mr. Doss was yet to take check out the doc-ment stretched out to him when the agent stretched out another file to the director.
“The resort doesn’t exist” Mr. Madison added to his point, he paused for a moment and leaned back on his chair, he could see an expected confusion on the director’s face just as the man took the second file that consist of two separate 8 by 12 sized pictures from him.
He waited and watch the man drop the first doc-ment to bring out the pictures in the file hurriedly, the director took several looks at it for a moment, there is a big resort building in one and a seashore in the other.
After a minute of silence, the director spoke.
“What do you meant by the resort doesn’t exist Mr. Madison?” The director asked.
“The multi-condo resort in Cozumel is a property of Metlife” he added and face the agent.
“Yes. The property was to be a part of this company but it doesn’t exist” Mr. Madison answered the director sharply. He looked so confident and sure of what he was saying.
“How agent? Can you explain better?” Mr. Doss asked, feeling more confused.
“Yes sir, I was more confused than you are at first when I discovered about the resort. I thought my men had wrong information but I looked into it myself and I found out that the resort doesn’t really existed, all the money spent on it supposedly goes somewhere offshore”
“You don’t mean it” Mr. Doss exclaimed with full confusion, he leaned back and took a glance at one of the pictures again after seeing the agent confidence.
“Obviously someone in this company is looting money through a fake property and its got to do with one of the executives in alliance with Christopher James”
There was a short chuckle immediately from Mr. Doss after what Mr. Madison said.
He took a glance at the two pictures again before he faced the agent back. He looked more confused as his eyeballs roam round the laptop screen to the desk, the first doc-ment and back to the agent again.
He seemed to have remembered something instantly and he frowned.
“Mr. Madison, are you sure you looked into this accurately before telling me this?”
The director asked almost the moment Mr. Madison let out a silent chuckle from beneath.
“It sounds unbelievable Mr. Doss but I’ll suggest that you do a thorough check on the resort yourself. Among the 15 names enlisted in that doc-ment, I discovered a forged signature of a woman; Carol Evelyn on each transaction on the property”
“Carol Evelyn” Mr. Doss uttered and squinted.
“Yes sir, here is another doc-ment that shows the signatures of all the transactions” Mr. Madison added and stretched out another doc-ment to the director.
“Carol Evelyn has been with this company for years, she’s very responsive and good at what she does. Could this be a mistake Mr. Madison?”
“I think those files in your hands has the answers to your confusion sir. I have discovered much more intriguing facts and I think we need to invite Carol Evelyn over first for an investigation regardless of her status”

Steve Jones leaned back on the chair he was seated and made a sigh. He tried to sit properly and adjust his legs almost immediately Inspector Kelvin turned back with the doc-ment he dropped earlier on the table.
“I can’t tell you anything more than I’ve done inspector” Steve said.
He made the inspector turned back to him even when he was about to open the door.
“What you’ve said here isn’t everything we need Steve Jones” Inspector Kelvin smiled and said.
He stood akimbo with a light smile behind the door with a police officer walking behind him and there was another brief seconds of silence in the room again.
“You will be transferred from here to another place in few minutes time Mr. Steve, I do hope you’ll cooperate with the men coming to take you away and not give them problems” having said that, inspector Kelvin held the knob and pulled the door.
He was about to go outside when he suddenly bump unto a man and an officer standing beside him at the door to the room.
“Good day inspector” Charles greeted immediately the inspector was taken aback and tried not to bump into them when he was almost in between the entrance.
“Mr. Charles” The inspector called out and bang the door behind him, leaving the officer with him in,side.
10 minutes later.
Steve raised up his head from the edge of the desk immediately he heard the sound of the door opening,
There was somewhat a short relief from him when he at least saw who he was expecting since 10 minutes ago when he heard the name.
“Charles” !! He called out almost immediately Charles walked in,side the room.
“I warned you not to do anything stupid Steve. Didn’t I?” Charles asked in a quick and annoyed way.
“How is she Charles?”
“That isn’t the right response to the questions I asked you man. Why did you… I mean what the heck have you done again?” Charles voice out with more annoyance.

Lord Nathaniel raised the remnant of the drink in the cup and gulped it quickly, he made a kinda funny sound first and dropped the cup of the alcoholic on the small stool placed before him.
He was wearing just a singlet and short jean with a white sneakers. The drug lord leaned on the chair at first to enjoy the breeze under the wooden carved bar, his singlet flip back and forth with the breeze from the east as he tucked back his eye shade when he was informed of Margot presence.
“Margot has arrived my lord” Khora had informed him.
“Let her pass straight away Khora” Lord Nathaniel had instructed almost the same seconds.
“My lord, but she’s here with Lord Vladimir”
Khora informed him sharply and met the expected reaction from the drug lord.
Lord Nathaniel w¡dened his face and almost in 10 seconds, he stood up from the chair he was seated and grabbed one of the guns hanged on Khora’s wa-ist, he pointed it forward almost the same seconds Margot and her right man with lord Vladimir reached the last of the wooden stairs.
“Put the gun down Nathaniel, Vladimir is here in peace”
“You don’t fuc..king give me orders Margot, what the hell is he doing here and why have you brought him here with you?” lord Nathaniel fussed and shouted in annoyance.
“I am here in peace Nathaniel, I’ve not come to make war” lord Vladimir said and stepped forward from behind Margot. He pull out his hands from his pocket quickly to show lord Nathaniel that he was armless.
“We all have a common enemy now Nathan. Vladimir is here because I called on him” said Margot in a stern voice. She took a step forward and pocketed her hands in her coat.
“Drop the gun down, I said he’s here in peace” She added.
“I am here in peace Nathan” Lord Vladimir added too.
“Drop the gun and lets talk now”

“Mr. Val, I..”
“Don’t call my damn name Gunner”

“I hope this doesn’t get out of hand and beyond what we least expect Valentine” William Harrison said immediately Valentine ended the call with Gunner in anger.
Just the same seconds, Franklin Kennedy walked back from the window to his seat. He made a faint sigh and turned to the two men that had called to meet in his house.

Few Hours later.
12:12 pm.
“Miss Carol Evelyn, thank you so much for coming” Mr. Doss greeted and extend an handshake.
“You are so much welcome sir” A blue suited woman in her late thirties met the handshake.
“Please do have your seat”
“Oh ! Thanks Mr. Doss, its a pleasure for you to have called me over” The woman flashed her teeth first and sit. She nodded partially to greet Mr. Madison who was seated opposite the director.
“You are welcome ma’am. I do hope you know Mr. Madison here, he is the new appointed head of security in this company”
“Oh yes I know him Mr. Doss, I are uh.. I’ve heard lots of things about him actually”
“Anyways Mrs. Evelyn, I called you over here for a business” Mr. Doss started.
“Oh.. Okay” the woman gave her response. She paused for a moment and wait for the director to continue what he was saying but he didn’t.
“what kind of business sir” She managed to ask as if the director was expecting the question from her.
“Its a simple business Mrs. Carol” Mr. Doss said and leaned back on his seat, he paused for another seconds to carefully examine the woman’s reaction on what he was about to say.
“its a business about the company resort in Conzumel, I want to tell you that I’m willing to sell the resort for $175 million” Mr. Doss added. He stared a stern look at the woman the same way Mr. Madison was looking at her.
As expected, they saw the look on her face; a confused one at first to a serious look.
