…Spartacus ran back in to the Sitting room but couldn’t find Natasha on the couch anymore. The glass cup of water fell off his hand as he slowly walked towards the empty couch..
”Nath.. Nath” Spartacus called out with a bit loud voice.. He searched every part of the house but couldn’t find Nathasha.. His anger boiled but as tears flowed down his cheek..
CYNTHIA’S RESIDENCE
Cynthia walked into her house as Musa opened up the gate for her
”Aarhh.. Madam, thank God say you come back ooh.. I hear say bad thing happen for road today” Musa said immediately Cynthia stepped in and Cynthia looked at him
”Yeah.. Thank God.. As you can see, I’m fine” Cynthia said and kept on walking
”Erhmm.. But Madam” Musa said making Cynthia to stop
”Where is your car?” Musa asked
”Ohh… My Car” Cynthia began thinking of how to cover up
”It had a little problem so I left it with the Mechanic” Cynthia said and just them the sound of the Police Sirene was heard all around the building. A large number of Police Officers trooped in to the compound and Musa fearfully ran into his house. Just then, the commissioner walked in and saw Cynthia
”Thank God you are Ok” He said immediately he saw her
”What’s all this for Commissioner?” Cynthia asked
”The First Lady asked me to check on you and keep you safe due to the earlier curfew that erupted” The Commissioner said
”As you can see, I am fine.. So, thanks for caring” Cynthia said but before she could take a step forward, Lady Aisha barged in immediately and hugged her
”Ooh.. My dear, thank God you are alright” She said with her eyes filled in tears that couldn’t flow out
”Easy My Lady, I’m fine..” Cynthia said and disengaged the hug
”Your eyes are red Ma” Cynthia said looking into her eyes
”It’s nothing my dear.. Just thinking about you” Aisha said and looked at the Commissioner
”Thank you for answering to my call Commissioner, but your job has just began” Aisha said and dismissed the Commissioner
”My Dear…. I was really worried” Aisha began as she walked Cynthia into the house..
SPARTACUS RESIDENCE
Spartacus was really confused as he didn’t know if Natasha walked away due to her Pains or someone broke into the house and stole her away.. He ran up immediately and picked up his gun to run out in search of her although he doesn’t know where she is
”Where are you off to?” Linda asked making Spartacus shocked as he saw Linda sitting in the couch where Natasha laid earlier
”What are you doing here?” Spartacus asked
”What is that gun meant for?” Linda replied with a question but Spartacus didn’t reply her holding tight to the gun
”Well, I guess you have to start with me, because I took Nathasha to the hospital” Linda said and Spartacus rushed her holding he ron the neck
”What??!! You did what??!!” Spartacus barked choking Linda with red eyes
”Linda struggled for breathe hitting Spartacus’ hand but then, Spartacus left her, she started couching endlessly and gasping for air
”Do you know what you just did?” Spartacus asked
”You just sold her out to her death” Spartacus said
”If you want to know, the People after Cynthia are also after her!! Now you have made it so easy!” Spartacus barked hitting the wall
”And you think I am that stupid?” Linda asked with a weak voice and Spartacus looked at her. She stood up and walked towards the door
”Inform me when you want to see Natasha” Linda said and staggeringly walked out. Spartacus called out on her regretting his actions but Linda didn’t reply.
CYNTHIA’S RESIDENCE
”My dear, are you still insisting on not having any Security in this house?” Aisha asked Cynthia as she looked around
”Don’t bother My Lady, I am definitely fine” Cynthia said. Aisha still persisted on it but Cynthia refused giving her False reasons..

POLICE HQ
”What the hell do you mean that you didn’t get even one of them!” Commissioner of Police barked harshly, standing besides him was Alhaji Dantata whose anger on the Police and Army was unrated so he tried swallowing it by not talking
”Now, listen to me everyone of you, I give you one week!! One Week!! To get those urchins!! Or else!” Commissioner of Police threatened
”I will make sure I blow your heads off” Alhaji Dantata said completing the threat of the Commissioner and the Units left immediately doubling their patrol, search and activity..

CHIEF WILLIAM’S RESIDENCE
”Idiots!!.. Fools!!” Chief Williams barked angrily hitting the tough looking men that stood in front of him
”You mean all of your useless selves couldn’t catch one man and a girl!!” Chief Williams barked further getting really furious
”Sorry Sir, the Police interfered” Sir Whyte Said
”And so what??!” Chief Williams attacked his statement immediately
”And where is Patronizer” Chief Williams asked trying to calm down but no one replied him
”Am I talking to stones!!” Chief Williams barked more angrily
”He and his crew died in the chase Sir” One of the thugs replied and Chief Williams slowly turned around
”What!!” He exclaimed and even Prof. Michael was shocked. Chief Williams sat down immediately and Prof. Michael stood up throwing a briefcase at them
”You all are dismissed” Prof. Michael said and they all left..
Prof. Michael walked to and fro the Sitting room as Chief Williams starred at him because he hasn’t seen him that much worried
”What is it Prof??” Chief Williams asked and Prof. paused his to and fro movement
”I think it’s time to unleash the hidden dragon” Prof. Michael said and Chief Williams looked at him not understanding what he was saying….
LINDA’S RESIDENCE
”How is she Doctor?” Linda asked the doctor who was checking on Natasha
”What did you say happened to her?” The Doctor asked
”She was shot on her way home due to what happened today” Linda replied
”Oh My.. So Sorry..” The Doctor said
”But you should have brought her to the hospital” The Doctor said
”Doctor, I was so confused, but all being the same, hope she is fine” Linda covered up
”Well, the bullet slightly got to her bones, but it’s going to heal with time. Thank God you called on time, she was almost gone” The Doctor said and Linda exhaled as the doctor packed up his bag
”She might sleep for some hours, don’t disturb her” The Doctor said
”Thank you very much Doctor” Linda said and esc-rted the doctor out. She looked at the doctor till he drove outside the gate.
Just as she walked in, she saw Spartacus sitting on the couch
”Hope Iam not intruding?” Spartacus asked not looking at her. Linda ignored him and walked upstairs. As she got up the stairs, she saw Spartacus in front of her and she shivered but behaved as if she wasn’t
”What are you doing here??” Linda asked
”I thought you never wanted her treated” Linda asked further and side passed Spartacus but Sparatcus held her hand
”I… I…” Spartacus stammered as Linda turned and looked at his Masky face. Spartacus left her hand gently and unmasked his face making Linda see his face the second time
”I.. I.. I..aa.. I am Sorry” Spartacus forcefully voiced out and tears rolled down his eyes as he has never said that word for years. Linda couldn’t bear the tears flowing from his eyes and she unconciously hugged him
”It’s alright” Linda said and disengaged the hug
”The Scar, what caused it?” Linda asked
”It’s a long story” Spartacus said ans Linda sighed
”She is in the next room” Linda said and Spartacus looked at the door and they walked in
”She is just sleeping, in few hours she will be fine” Linda said but before Spartacus could say anything, the voice of Dave was heard from downstairs fancifully calling on Linda.. Linda looked at the door but before she could look back on the bed where Natasha was laying, she couldn’t find Natasha and Spartacus
”Hmmmm… Not Surprised” She said and shouted happily in reply to Dave’s call…

…”Hey Sis… Good day” Dave greeted
”Hey Baby.. Whats up??” Linda hugged him
”You didn’t tell me you were coming back this early” Linda said to Dave
”Yeah, just finished earlier than I thought” Dave said and looked upstairs
”What are you looking at?” Linda aksed
”I thought I heard someone upstairs earlier” Dave said
”Nah.. It’s just me my dear” Linda said and both walked upstairs…
**LINDA’S OFFICE – THE NEXT DAY**
”Good day Sir” Linda greeted as she entered the office of their Bar Manager
”Good day Linda, how are you?” He caringly asked dropping the pen he had in his hand
”How are you going on with what happened earlier Yesterday” He asked as Linda replied his first pleasantry
”Well Sir, I am working on it.. I think I have a clue on it Sir” Linda said and he gave more attention to her
”Go on, what do you have?” He asked Linda who starred at him
”Sir, I think I have a starting point” Linda said and he got more interested
”Please let it out.. I’m curious.. Everyone is on my neck Linda” He said
”Sir, it’s complicated.. But I’ll make it more understandable on one condition” Linda said and he starred at Linda in surprise
”What Condition?” He said and Linda smiled..
THE PRESIDENTIAL SUITE
”My Lady, placing a Girl in the midst of men like us in an electon haven’t been heard of” Chief Musa said to Lady Aisha who starred at the 6 Men Chief that came visiting her that morning
”My Lady, this will bring disrespect in our women..” Alhaji Muhammed said but Lady Aisha still said nothing as Chief Williams stood up
”My Lady, with all due respect, I won’t sit and watch you change a law that has been kept for a very long time now” Chief Williams said
”And who said it’s a law?” Lady Aisha asked boldly
”Show me where it is stated in the Constitution and I will immediately withdraw my words” Lady Aisha said and Chief Williams sat down in confusion
”Go on.. I’m waiting.. Any of you??” Lady Aisha said with a harsh voice standing up
”If this is all you have to tell me this early Morning, then I think you all have to use the door” Lady Aisha said and walked out
”Before I forget” She said turning around
”I am ready to die, because Friends and Foes are sitted here today.. You are free to Assassinate me just like you all did to my husband, Chief Wilson and the rest” Lady Aisha said
”Good day” She concluded and walked up the stairs

”Good day.. How is things going about all this noise we are having” The Minister said
”Sir, seriously I am confused about all this” The Commissioner said
”Miss Cynthia refused all protection offered to her and the Lady Aisha is on my neck for her Protection.. I just don’t know what to do Sir” The Commissioner said
”On that, another one occured just yesterday which we all are aware of” He added

SPARTACUS LAIR
(The Previous Night before Today)
Spartacus laid Natasha comfortably on the bed looking at her as she slept deeply. He touched the bandage in her shoulders
”Thank God I didn’t loose you” Spartacus said
”I couldn’t have forgiven myself” Spartacus said and stood up
”Please wake up by Morning” He said with a low voice, k-ssed Natasha on her fore head and left for his room.
NATHASHA’S DREAM
Flashes of bright light severed and constantly shone in her eyes as she walked around a building that seemed familia to her.. She walked up the stairs, hearing the voice of a man and a little girl. She walked closer towards the voice, coming to an open verander
”Emilia.” The man called touching the little girl of about 8 years old. Natasha stood and watched closely
”This represents our family” The Man said pointing at the stars above which Natasha peeped also to see
”That big one is me, followed by your Mother, Your Brother and You, being the smallest one” The Man said and Emilia smiled just then a little boy ran out
”Daddy..” He called out and the man carried him too
”Daniel.. I thought you were sleeping” The Man said and a woman walked out also, looking very beautiful
”Sleep?? Daniel is a cat.. He doesn’t sleep” She said and they all laughed hugging each other very tight..

Natasha watched them smiling with tears rolling down her eyes as she enjoyed the lovely view.. Suddenly, the light flashed in her eyes and she saw herself downstairs at the gate blood everywhere, she was surprised until she heard a voice
”Emilia!! Emilia” She heard the voice of the woman and she saw the man laying in blood.. Some Men were standing with guns shooting
”Dad!! Dad!:” The Little boy ran out immediately
”Daniel.. Run.. Run…” The man shouted with his last strenght, but before the little boy could run away a spark of gun shot hit his face.. He managed to run out through the flowers…
”Emilia.;” The Woman shouted but was shot immediately.. Emilia fell on her and she was shot also.
”Nooo..!!!!” Natasha shouted trying to run into the scene.. Just then the flash came on her eyes very bright and she scre-med…

Natasha scre-med rolling on the bed… She sreamed very loud the Spartacus ran in immediately holding her
”It’s alright.. It’s alright” Spartacus said immediately
”I’m here.. I’m here” He said and Natasha opened her eyes
”What happened?” Natasha asked
”Calm down” Spartacus said
”You are alright” Spartacus said and Natasha weakly looked at his face, she lifted her hands and touched the scar in his face recalling the gun shot on the little boy. Spartacus held her hand softly
”How do you feel now?” Spartacus asked
”Better” Natasha said touching the bandage in her hands
”Did we save her?” Natasha asked
”Yes you did” Spartacus said giving all credits to her and she smiled trying to sit up and Spartacus helped her
”Iall get you some tea” Spartacus said and left and Natasha looked at him as he left
”Daniel… Emilia….” She said to herself remembering her dream…
CHIEF WILLIAM’S RESIDENCE
”This is Danga known as the Dragon” Prof. Michael said to Chief Williams pointing at a dark man sitting on the couch opposite him with dark glasses in his eyes. Chief Williams looked at him but Danga didn’t move his body
”Is he dumb or what” Chief Williams asked
”He doesn’t talk much” Prof. Michael replied
”I see..;” Chief Williams said
”I don’t have much time to waste” Danga said and Prof. Michael looked at Chief Williams. Chief Williams brought out the picture of Lady Aisha, Cynthia and Spartacus. Danga collected the pictures and looked at them, he slided Lady Aisha’s, Cynthia’s and got to Spartacus own then stood up immediately
”What???!!” He exclaimed
”What is it?” They asked together
”I can’t forget this mask” Danga said to himself

”How did you know him?” Chief Williams asked
”That is nothing to tell about Chief.. How much are you paying” Danga asked
”3 Million dollars.. One Million each” Chief Williams said
”What am I assassinating?? A little kid?” Danga asked
”Give me short of that and I will eliminate the United States President.. Do you know who this masky man is?” Danga asked
”Are you going with 3 Million dollars or not!!” Chief Williams said
”I will take my leave” Danga said and tried to leave but Prof. Michael held him looking at Chief Williams
”Alright.. How much do you need?” Chief Williams asked
”5 Million dollars.. No bargaining” Danga said and Chief Williams exclaimed
”Are we in?” Danga asked
”Alright then.. But I think you will need a hand, my men are available” Chief Williams said
