Steve looked expressionless immediately he dropped the pistol and stepped backwards after which Mary dropped hers.
Mr. Stephen who was at the first entrance reluctantly dropped the long gun he carried under the threat of Cyrus who was dragging Vivian around with him.
“Join them there” Cyrus shouted out referring to Mr. Stephen.
“I said join them there” he repeated strictly and began to dragged Vivian towards the entrance as Mr. Stephen quietly obeyed.
Vivian who was been dragged along tried to free herself in the process but Cyrus firm grip on her neck had to make her use her hands to gap for his firmness.
The explosive timer under the three different tables were already about 58 seconds counting down as Cyrus finally dragged himself and Vivian away from the entrance of the restaurant.
He quickly swiped towards the outside side shattered glass of the restaurant and shouted.
“Don’t fuc..king move officers, you take a fuc..king step forward again and I’ll blow her goddamn head” He shouted to threatened Steve who took a step forward in,side the restaurant as he fixated a stern gaze on the three of them left in,side.
Few pedestrians standing afar from the restaurant watched on from the immediate des**ted road as Cyrus held unto a lady and a gun pointed on her head.
Mr Kruger, Aunty Rhoda and her children alongside Margaret had crossed the road and were part of the people watching the restaurant from afar.
No one dared to move or cross the road and no one dared to move closer as Cyrus shouted at one of his men who managed to lift himself up, he was the same man Steve had seen in the Toyota Camry before he entered earlier on.
“Get into the fuc..king car and start the engine” Cyrus shouted on him again and made a glance as his instructions was followed, he made another glance quickly and watched his man got up from the driver side of the vehicle, he had been shot by Steve at his left leg but he was able to open the door and managed to get in,side despite the pains he felt from his leg, he managed to close the driver side and ignite the car.
“We’ve got to get out of here” Steve announced in the restaurant as they watched Cyrus forcefully drag Vivian into the Camry with him. The explosive timer counting down was exactly less than 20 seconds already as they began to hear police sirens far ahead the des**ted road.
Just as the Toyota Camry moved, the three of them ran out of the restaurant instantly and the bomb under the tables explode in flames.

Five tinted jeeps drove into the large compound one after the other in a row and alighted at the available space in the compound two minutes after the gate opened.
The doors of each jeep began to open and Margot armed boys stepped down including Margot who stepped down from the third jeep.
“How many minutes are we out of schedule Tom” She asked immediately she turned to walk on as her henchman dropped from the same Jeep.
“We are about 20 minutes late” Tom answered her sharply after a glimpse at his wristwatch.
“That long?”
“Yes your lordsh¡p. All of them are already on seat and quietly awaiting you”
“Good. Instruct the boys to start offloading the boxes, we are giving it to each of those men” Margot instructed and began to walk on through the hall way that leads to another door after the entrance of the building was opened for her.
The room she entered was a big one, more than big enough but there was nothing in it except some picture frames hung on the walls. Two suited security men were at the exist and they quickly paved way for Margot immediately she reached the door with Tom walking behind her.
“Gentlemen, I am absolutely sorry I am 20 minutes out of schedule” said Margot who entered the white furnished room instantly startling the six men sitting round the long meeting desk.
She made hand gestures to support her apology as her footsteps sounded when she walked forward after taking brief glances at the wh0le room.
The walls in the room was treated with acoustic and the roof well treated, its was quite different to the previous place where their first meeting took place but the men were seated the same way.
Margot nodded in satisfactory and smiled on seeing that Tom had carefully arranged the meeting place properly. She walked directly to the front seat as they all fixated their gaze on her, she settled comfortably on the chair prepared for her and made a deep breath.
“I do not appreciate the fact that Quinn and Carlos were assassinated by you Margot”
As expected, the meeting had begun. There were no literary response to Margot apology from any of them as they all maintained a narrowed and somehow annoyed looks.
The first man who spoke immediately Margot settled down was called Jonathan Gates. He was seated at the left side of the table and he was sitting between two other drug lords, he looked old but way not too old and his voice was strong and stern.
Margot smiled again immediately another drug lord from her right side spoke against the assassination of Quinn and Carlos like Jonathan Gates had started. She kept quiet at first when the man seated beside Jonathan Gates spoke against the assassination likewise but made an evil chuckle when the last man seated at the right side also spoke against it the sane way.
“Quinn and Carlos chose death and We had to give them appropriately. Its wasn’t anyone’s fault they were killed” Margot buttress in a stern and loud tone to silence the emerging murmur from them thereafter.
“Tom” She called.
“Yes my lord” Tom who was behind her answered.
“Let in the boys and have them distribute the boxes to these seated lords respectfully” she instructed.

Mary and Mr. Stephen winced in serious pains after the explosion thrown them apart and afar, the bomb and the flames had created a negative impact on the restaurant and the building next to it.
The flames went too high and few other properties round the restaurant burnt to ashes completely.
Mary gasped and tried to conceal the rate at which she felt like coughing few seconds after they landed on the floor, she closed her eyes in deep pain in the process but she wasn’t able to hold in much longer. She released her breath and began to cough heavily just like Mr. Stephen who was few meters away from her.
The explosion had really done a big damage and they were lucky to have somehow escaped it.
In less than 10 seconds, both Mary and Mr. Stephen began to cough badly, the burning fire seemed to be beyond their thought and was getting fierce imaginable.
They hurriedly crawled out individually helping themselves as few pillars round the vicinity collapses.
“What the heck” Mr. Stephen exclaimed as they quickly crawled away under one of the pillars.
Mary who was still lying face down on the dirt floor made few glances around when Steve voice wasn’t heard and no sound came from him likewise.
She made an eye contact with Mr. Stephen who seemed to be looking for him already as he managed to stand on his feet despite the pain he felt from his bones.
“Where the hell is Steve?” Mary asked rhetorically. She looked at Mr. Stephen who had no answer to her question or even responded to her gro-n. She quickly turned back after looking at her left and right side when she saw no traces of Steve, she looked up and down and narrowed her face with certainty that Steve was the first to get out from the restaurant before them. She turned back again and made an attempt to stand up when a loud scre-m sounded on the road.
“Get off” Steve commanded the scre-ming woman who gladly stepped down fearfully from the car few seconds after the explosion. He entered hurriedly into the vehicle and ignite the car, he made a straight glance afar and saw that Mary was still laying flat on the ground whereas Mr. Stephen was trying to get up.
“There he is” Answered Mr. Stephen who s₱0tted Steve entering into a car after the loud scre-m that sounded adjacent the road.
“Hey” He shouted and hurriedly tried to stand on his foot just as Steve drove off.
The Toyota camry Cyrus left with was about few distance away and was still in sight but will soon be out of sight when its probably turn to the road roundabout.
