Two men obeyed Abu’s instruction immediately he moved forward with the pistol. They quickly tied Joel firmly with the chair and stepped back hurriedly when they noticed Abu impatience.
 
“Hey !! I’m gonna have to ask you some questions that demand an exact answer, you give me false response and a bullet goes into your skull” He shouted and stopped exactly few inches from Joel.
 
He squatted immediately and point the gun. “Who are you?” he asked.
 
Joel on the other hand felt itch in all part of his body, he tried as much as he could to calm himself from the pains especially from his right leg and shoulder. He’s eyes were still blurry as a result of the injection that was forced on him few hours ago and hærdly can he move any part of his body easily as he could. He tried to move his eyes to look at Abu but he didn’t answer the question.
 
“I said who are you?” Abu waited no more seconds to ask almost immediately he pulled the trigger.
 
The bullet went between Joel’s leg and he stand up immediately.
 
“Answer the goddamn question” He shouted with rage and fired the bullet to the same position.
 
“The next bullet goes into your skull” he added and landed two quick punches on Joel’s face impatiently.

Steve finally navigated to another section of the road after a long ride. The new route he took was only one lane contrary to the two lane road he’d been driving.
 
There were lot of tress at each sides of the road and dry leaves were scattered at every point. The perpetual speed at which Steve drove flew the scattered dry leaves and especially the ones on the road.
 
Both Cyrus and Vivian who were seated at the back seat with Derrick at the front passenger side either knew where they were heading except Steve who told them he had a place.
 
The drive continued for 10 minutes and none of them spoke a word to another until Steve navigated again to another route after reaching the end of the road.
 
“Where is this place?” Derrick asked and turned to Steve.
 
They were fast approaching the end of the road again right before the gate of a very big building was sighted.
 
“I’ll be right back” Steve said without answering Derrick question. He had slowed down totally and halted just as they were all looking at the building and the place he had stopped the vehicle.
 
 
Steve opened the driver side door and got down, the vehicle was just some centimeters away from the gate and he walked close to it.
 
He stopped right at the front of the vehicle for a moment before he walked towards the left side of the gate.
 
There was a tiny camera on the edge of the gate and he looked up at it, he stared at the camera for a moment and stepped more closer to the gate.
 
In less than 30 seconds, the gate made a sound and opened.

“And did you confirm this yourself?”
 
“Yes Inspector, I personally traced the vehicle and you’re just about 300 meters away from it. There’s a petrol station very close to the location of the vehicle”
 
“Did you see him entering the burger plaza?”
 
“Yes I do. And he’s still in,side”
 
“Good. Get back to me immediately you see him coming out and make sure there’s no mistake in the information you’re giving me”
 
“Yes sir”
 
On that note, inspector Kelvin ended the call and turned to Agent Mary who was seated at the passenger side of the moving vehicle.
 
“We’re about 300 meters away from him” he informed the agent and increase his speed.

“Answer the goddamn question huh” Abu shouted in his accent and landed another punch into Joel’s cheek. He sent different more punches into Joel’s face until he made sure the wh0le head was battered with blood.
 
“Where the hell is the disk and who the hell are you?” he shouted again but this time followed it with a kick that sent Joel crashing on the floor.
 
Joel felt more lot pains immediately he landed on the floor, he let out a very loud sound that inflates pain just as he was trying to conceal it. The injection they had used to capture him was still as strong as ever despite the long hours of trying to fight it.
 
He closed his eyes but was breathing profusely just as blood weave out from every part of his face. He couldn’t lift his l-ips neither could he assimilate anything present in his surroundings that moment.
 
“Lift him up” he heard Abu shouting at the men who tied him up.
 
He closed his eyes but was unable to prevent making a painful groin as the men lift him up.
 
They adjusted the chair properly and moved backwards just immediately Abu stepped closer to him again and began to crack his knuckles.
 
“Who are you?” he asked again without waiting for response just the moment he began to punch Joel’s face repeatedly, this time, more h-rder.

Steve walked back into the car and opt in,side, he kicked the engine back to life and drive towards the gate. He drove in,side afterwards just as Derrick, Vivian and Cyrus were waiting for his response to the question Derrick asked earlier.
 
It took a minute drive from the gate to the parking lodge where Steve finally halted. He turned off the engine and turned to Derrick after looking at Vivian through the rear mirror.
 
“This is one of the houses I bought few months ago. Let’s get down” Steve finally answered the question as they all marveled at the Mansion they just entered.
 
Steve got done first before Vivian and Cyrus got down after opening the side doors before Derrick too.
 
 
Steve walked close to Vivian immediately and stared at her eyes. The day was still very dark but the light in the wh0le place was as bright as ever.
 
He held unto her hands and made a sigh. “This is the house I bought for you and I 34 months ago, the house I meant… I.. Intend for us to live peacefully with lovely children. The very Home I’ve always wanted with you” He phrased and heaved another sigh. He was about to hold her second hand when Derrick stepped close to them.

4:00 am
 
Inspector Kelvin walked out from the burger plaza and made a funny shrug to Agent Mary who was standing beside the vehicle they came with. He made a wary smile and pocketed his left hands just as he held unto his phone with the right.
 
He took a brief glance at the phone and dialed the last contact on the call log, he placed it on his ear as the call began to ring but it wasn’t answered till he walked close to the vehicle himself.
 
“He’s not in,side the Burger plaza, I clearly told you to make sure you trace him carefully” He waited no seconds to shout on the receiver when the call was eventually answered.
 
“I did, I saw him entering the plaza but he never came out and nobody got in,side or came outside the Burger since he entered” The receiver replied in defense.
 
×××
“You’re welcome sir. Its been long you check on us” the giggling lady opening the door for Steve and the rest at the first ring of the main door greeted respectively.
 
“Uh !!”
