Next Morning
The Boss Mansion:
Ginola: Good morning boss. Please how was your night?
The Boss: Good morning my boy, I had one of the greatest night’s ever. The undercover job you did last night made my day, week and possibly my month. As I said to you earlier on, I will sort you out handsomely very soon. Have you seen my son this morning?
Ginola: Boss please he left the house early this morning for jogging, he told me he didn’t want to disturb you as you were still sleeping when he was leaving the house, he also said he will be back before breakfast is served.
 
The Boss: Oh that is okay and what about Trouble and the guys I sent last night, they never brought any feedback to me?
 
Ginola: Boss please I haven’t set my eyes on him and the other guys. When I came back from meeting that lady, none of them were in their rooms, I was assuming they have been given a day or some days off.
 
The Boss: I can’t release almost all my security details in a night whiles we have an important mission to undertake any time soon.
 
Ginola: Ah then where could they be? This is unusual of Trouble to go out and not return. What could be the reason for him and the other guys not coming back here?
 
The Boss: Am much perplexed more than you and those fools didn’t find it convenient to call me and give me feedback on the assignment I assigned to them.
 
 
 
Stubborn: (walks in with the boss phone in his hand) Boss please your phone has been ringing for some time now so I decided to bring it to you since you were far from it.
 
The Boss: (on phone) Yeeeeeessssssss may I know who is the line?
 
Caller: Boss please it’s me Inspector Attipoe, there is trouble on the mountain ooo. I had to sneak out of the office to call you and even use a private line.
 
The Boss: Attipoe can you talk in plain language, what fire are you talking about coming from the mountain?
 
 
Caller: Boss, yesternite one the patrol teams brought in a guy and some dead bodies when they were doing some random operation. They saw blood from the trunk of the car they were driving and when they tried confronting them, they starting firing at my men injuring two of them and in return my men also released fire on them resulting in the death of your men with the exception of one guy who is now in the interrogation room.
 
The Boss: Whaaaaat? What the heck? So what are we going to do now?
 
Caller: Boss did you say we? This is a matter you have to act fast because I heard the Regional Commander has shown interest in the case and he is on his way to this place.
 
The Boss: Now you listen and listen good youngman, we are in this together and if I go down, you go down with me as my informant. I can’t be paying you an outrageous amount of money and go down alone.
 
 
 
Caller: Boss you can’t do this to me because I have kept my side of the bargain and have provided every requisite information that pops up so why do you want to drag me into the mud with you?
 
The Boss: If you know what is good for you, make sure you clean the mess surrounding this case and if possible find ways and means to eliminate that fool before he spews out any nonsense whiles he remains in your custody.
 
Caller: Boss you know what you ask of me can not be granted, your boy is under strict surveillance security detail which I don’t even have access to the place or him. Boss I can’t promise something that I can’t grant or do, please I will entreat you to use your connections to get your boy out from this place. I will do my best to get the media faraway from this case so please do your best and let me also do the rest. Please the Regional Commander is in so let me rush to the charge office to welcome him.
 
The Boss: Now you listen and listen good, I don’t care how you do it Attipoe, but remember if I go down we go down together so if you know what is best for you, start finding ways and means to get that idiot eliminated before he says anything that will sink our boat. (cuts the call)
 
Ginola: Boss is everything alright?
 
The Boss: Trouble and the other guys met a police patrol team last night when I sent them to dispose the corpse of that foolish sheikh and his guards. An exchange of bullets took place resulting in the death of all your colleagues except one whom I dont know yet who exactly the person is, also two police officers got injured and the Regional Commander has taken a personal interest in the case. If we don’t eliminate that fool now before he spills the beans we will be in a very hot soup, now call Karl Simpson to come over right now. We need to join heads and find a solution to this looming danger. The recent stir-up in the police administration has affected me badly because all the corrupt officers I had in the police administration have been reshuffled and taken to a place they can’t assist again. Oh what a pity!!!
 
Later in the Day:
 
 
 
Karl Simpson: Albert what is it that am hearing? Ginola called me to break the news to me but why did you kill the sheikh and his bodyguards?
 
The Boss: Karl, that idiot came here threatening me and raising his voice at me infront of my boys, out of anger I shot him and ordered for his guards to be eliminated so that I could cover my trace but those idiots bumped into a police patrol team and exchanged bullets with them. Karl this fools won’t send me to my early grave ooo but I blame that slamming b**** who doublecrossed me, I swear with every misery I been through I will make her go through that same ordeal.
 
Karl Simpson: Well we need to strategize on an underground mission where we will capture our rightful possession. Now that you are short of men, I will bring my boys on-board for this mission to go on successfully. About your boy in police custody, I have dispatched a snipper to get rid of him because am reliably informed that he is been transferred to the CID Headquarters for further interrogation as am talking to you right now. Don’t stress yourself because everything is under control.
 
 
 
The Boss: (phone rings) Hello what is the situation right now?
 
Caller: Boss I don’t know how to start my story but all I can say is that, your boy who was in our custody is no more a living soul. The Regional Commander upon arrival ordered for your boy to be transferred to the CID Headquarters and on the way going, an assassin or snipper shot him dead whiles we were in the car going. Thankfully he had not uttered a word, he kept saying he wanted to see his lawyer first.
 
The Boss: (releases a big breathe) Make sure you clean every lope h0le that will lead to my doorstep and for that car they were riding in, set it on fire with a powerful explosive this evening. I will come and lodge a missing car complain tomorrow morning. Keep me updated with any new development. (ends call)
 
Karl Simpson: I can see a massive change on your face my brother. Has the table changed into our favour?
 
The Boss: Oh yes bro, your assassin has done a fantastic job. He has cleared the path for us to move easily and talking to you right now, am the happiest man on planet earth.
 
 
 
Karl Simpson: Well am glad your worry and misery is now behind you, right now we need to focus on how to retrieve the diamonds from Julia or wherever it is now. I have designed a master plan that we will use in attacking Julia without any trace.
 
The Boss: I trust your tactics bro, I know what you are capable of doing. Also I have gotten information of that fool who delivered feces to me and that idiot who took coverage and shots of us the night that I eliminated that b****** who thought he was faster than me.
 
Karl Simpson: Oh wow, what an icing on the cake. Are they far from here?
 
The Boss: Youngman, answer that question.
 
Ginola: Boss please they are not far from us and the sweet thing is that they are living under the same roof.
 
 
Karl Simpson: Mmmmm what a small world, indeed what goes around surely comes around. We will equally work on them and put them on the stage they deserve, Ginola I will get you some boys to go and pay them a surprise visit very soon.
 
Fast forward – Funeral Day:
 
Julia: Mickey thanks very much for everything, I don’t know how to thank you enough.
 
Michael Ansah: My dear, you owe me nothing. What I did was a way to show my gratitude to you for all the good things you have done for me.
 
Julia: Ah don’t say that, what you and Quincy did earlier on today can’t be compared to anything on earth but hey have you eaten anything yet?
 
Maame Dufie: Ah there you are Mike, your food has been served and where is Quincy also?
 
Quincy: Am here, who is asking of me?
 
Maame Dufie: Am the one asking of you, won’t you also come and eat? You have been taking pictures and going up and down since the wake last night and now that aunty has been buried too you are still stressing yourself.
 
Julia: Dufie please where is my boss and his entourage?
 
Maame Dufie: They are in the tent room been attended to by the catering service. Mike I ordered them to get your food microwaved ánd by now I know it will be ready.
 
 
 
Michael Ansah: (remembering who Julia’s boss is) Oh am very much okay as at now, we don’t usually eat when we are working because laziness creeps in when we fill the stomach. I and Quincy will eat when all your special guest take leave from this place.
 
Ginola: (walks in to call Julia and sees Mike) Mmmm Julia, the boss wants to see you now. I think he wants us to seek permission so we leave.
 
Julia: Please tell him I will be with him soon, Dufie please come for this envelope and my phone as I see my boss and his entourage off.
 
Ginola: (gives Mike a vicious look before talking) I will convey your message to him and please don’t keep us waiting for long. (walks away as he rushes to give the information he gathered when he was sent to call Julia)
 
Maame Dufie: Mike what have you done to that guy? The way he was looking at you was not pleasing at all.
 
Julia: Oh so you also saw it Dufie, I thought I was the only one who saw the stern look that guy was giving to him. Now tell me what exactly happened the day you delivered the package to my boss, always when I say I will ask you about what transpired that day then I it escapes me. How did my boss receive you that day?
 
Michael Ansah: (as he is about to narrate his story his phone rang) Hey darling, ah you said you are already at the entrance? Wait for me at that place, I will join you soon. (cuts call)
 
 
 
Maame Dufie: I guess this conversation will have to take place later.
 
Julia: You have a very big point, that man over there doesn’t like to be kept waiting anytime he wants something. (walks out to see the boss and his men)
 
Meanwhile back in the village Opana is getting ready to execute his diabolic plans the dawn ahead of him so he positioned everything he will need for the evil mission well and set an alarm on his phone to wake him up on time.
 
Back at the Funeral Home:
 
Michael Ansah: Hey baby, I wasn’t expecting you here as you told me you were not feeling too well.
 
Henrietta Barnor: Yes that is very true but I had a tip off call from one of my informants that one of my topmost criminal on my radial
 
is in the neighbourhood and since I knew my boo is around, I came over to surprise him.
 
Michael Ansah: What a sweet loving lady that I have as my woman. Let’s go in,side so I introduce you to my friend and her cousin. We will use the backdoor since there are a lot of people around still.
 
 
 
Julia: Thank you very much boss and Mr Simpson for your support and presence, without your help and encouragementI don’t know how I could handle things.
 
Karl Simpson: C’mon girl, we are one big family and this is the time to show to you that you are never alone in this world.
 
The Boss: My dear, Karl has said it all. You deserve every little thing that we have done for you and I want you to bring every debt you incure here to me next week. We have other things to do so we will take leave now and please don’t forget to do as I instructed you to do.
 
Julia: Okay sir, I will do as you have requested. Please let me walk you to your car.
 
The Boss: That won’t be necessary my dear, there are a lot of your guest who need your attention so please go and see them. We know our way out so don’t worry your pretty head on us.
 
Albert: Please inform Maame Dufie that I will come pick her out tonight around 8pm for a movie at the mall so she should get read.
 
Julia: I will tell her exactly as you have said. Thanks for coming.
 
The Boss: (at the car park) Ginola, my son has set the ball rolling, tonight get to work and leave no stone unturned. This mission must be compared to the movement of the snake on a cemented floor, there must be no traces or lope h0les after everything is done. Do I make myself clear?
 
no_a
Ginola: Its very loud and crystal clear boss.
 
The Boss: Be there and be blowing big English to my hearing and go and make unpardonable mistakes, I will deny you like how Peter denied Jesus when the rom-ns captured him.
 
Karl Simpson: Hey I never knew you know stories in the bible ooo, all the same I will deploy my men to join forces with your men so we sanitize the airwaves but after this mission we must go on hibernation for a very long time.
 
The Boss: Bro I don’t need a soathsayer or mallam to tell me this, I thought about this long time ago and talking about stories in the bible, even mallams and fetish priest quote from the bible. If you care to know, I was baptised in the Presbyterian church but because a pastor’s son once snatched my girlfriend from me when I was poor, I decided to stop going to church. Herh I nearly went for all my monetary contribution in the church even, honestly poverty is a cancer disease that one shouldn’t even wish for his or her enemy. Guys let’s go.
 
Henrietta Barnor: (watching from above) Eagle 1, target on the move in a black tinted glass V8 with the registration number Alpha Whiskey 419 – 18 and the other V8 cars are Charlie Rainbow 9999 – 16 and Bravo Alpha 442 – 17. They are heading towards Atomic roundabout, keep a very close eye on him and make sure you don’t lose him this time around. My Intel tells me, he is up to something mischievous but this time around he can’t get away with it. Send me updates on any new development that takes place, over and out Delta 1.
 
Michael Ansah: Hey there you are, I was looking for you after I went to get a bottle of water for you. Who were you talking to?
 
Henrietta Barnor: Oh that was one of my colleagues back at work.
 
Michael Ansah: Okay come with me my dear, I need to introduce you to some friends. (drags Herty to the place his friends were)
 
Maame Dufie: Ah I have been looking for you all over the place, your food is getting cold and I won’t bother microwaving it for you again.
 
Julia: Tell him for me, they want to be pampered even as we are mourning.
 
Quincy: We will descend on the meal very soon.
 
Michael Ansah: No need to be bothered my dear, I have someone special to introduce to everyone here. Ladies I present to you the woman of my life, my bone of bone and flesh of flesh, my heartbeat, my sweetheart and my future wife Henrietta.
 
Henrietta Barnor: Hello ladies, it’s nice meeting you and sorry for your loss.
 
Julia: (drops the drink in her hand and scre-ms) Mickey!!! Hmmmm no comments.
 
Maame Dufie: I hope my ears are not deceiving me? Julia can you interpretate things to me over here. You told me Mike was your…..
 
Quincy: (cuts in quickly as he sees pressure mounting up) Ladies please where is the food you reserved for Mike and I? Am so starving that I can swallow a wh0le whale and still not be satisfied.
 
Julia: Whatever (walks out from the room)
 
Fast forward:
 
Later in the Evening.
 
Regional Headquarters:
 
Commander Barnor: Good evening my gallant men, we are gathered here to execute the final phase of the plans we have drawn so far, DSP Kotey will run us through tonight’s operation and mind you I dont want any casualties involved on the side of my men. Make sure everyone is in his or her body armour and armed to the tooth.
 
DSP Kotey: Thank you sir for this opportunity, the Swat team led by me will move to the new estate where the former commisioner lives, we are reliably informed that a murder attack will take place this evening in one the houses there. The Anti-Landguard Unit will head straight to the mansion of the drug mogul and that mission will be led by ASP Mawugbe. The Formed Police Unit will take the old estate where another tip off crime will take place, ASP Tanko will spearhead that mission.
 
Commander Barnor: I like the way you have drawn the attacking mission, personally I will like to be the one to put handcuffs on the hands of that criminal so I will go with ASP Mawugbe’s team. Now let’s go and brief the team members on how I want the mission to go, if it goes well, I will petition the IGP to promote every personnel on this operation posthumously.
 
Quincy Hall:
 
Michael Ansah: Jack am stepping out, Herty is taking me out for dinner and looking at the turn of events, I might not return to this place.
 
Quincy: Oh God you are indeed a miracle working God, see Maabena just sent me a text that she is on her way coming here and she intends to spend the night with me. I was contemplating on how I was going to break that news to you.
 
Michael Ansah: Well your wish has been granted, I am likely to return tomorrow evening because I will be travelling to the village with my mom and little sister when they touch down at the airport.
 
Quincy: Oh wooooow, this that they are coming back, I believe everything is okay? You should have informed me earlier so I go with you to meet them at the airport.
 
Michael Ansah: Bro sorry about that but the call only came in last night and since madam is coming over, you won’t get the time to go with me. All the same I will send your regards to them, I will call you to give updates on anything that happens and please take it easy on her when she comes.
 
Quincy: Oh don’t be silly, has she ever come to complain to you that I don’t take it easy on her. My friend go with your palava (pushes Mike outside)
