“A day before he was killed, it was reported that you were the driver who drove him to his home town in Port-Harcourt, where were you when he was killed ?” The agent asked.

“I was with him all through, we were planning to go to Lagos the following day when three men who claimed they were escort from the Minister of health arrived and told Dr. Johnson the Minister need his urgent attention. I was suspicious at first but discard the thought after seeing how the doctor interact with them, he told me to go on to Lagos while he’ll follow them to Abuja, the next thing we heard about him was his death, nobody knows how but his body was found later at Ilorin”. The driver replied.

“Alright thank you”, the agent added affirmatively while the two agent thanked him before proceeding out of the compound.

They heard the same story from one of the doctor’s relative in Port-Harcourt, he implies that they couldn’t sue or do anything against the Minister because there were no evidence of his involvement, the police also couldn’t make anything out of it.

“What are we to do now? The junior agent ask frustratedly after they entered the car they came with”.

“We will proceed our investigations, atleast we now have a clue, agent Gabriel said before starting the car,  “find out about the minister, his identity, his family and trace down anything relating or involving to the K. Brothers” he added, making a glance at the side mirror for any coming cars before making a U-turn.

“What about the documents Mrs. Johnson gave you?” The junior agent ask again,

“I’ve made personal information about it, there’s a disk in one of the documents but it’s wouldn’t open, it well encrypted with codes, I’m not done relating the documents together but I’m sure the content will be the discovery of the secret location”. The agent replied, over-taking a car in front of theirs.

“That means we’ll storm it if discovered”  the junior agent said hopefully.

“yes but carefully, I’ve sent the details to the chairman, some NSS agent will also be joining us soon, we need to act fast” replied agent Gabriel, increasing his speed.

“who I’m I unto? “I asked instead, raising my brow instead of answering”

“this is Kingsley, I want to know if you won’t be coming again” The caller said.

” I’m here already”  I replied instantly, standing up  to look around.

there he was, he waved and stood up while he turned to meet me where i was sitting.

“My phone was down, I’ve been here 15 minutes ago, I had to plead to the waiter  just to get in touch with you, to know if you won’t be coming again, didn’t know you’ve been here.

“Oh !! Sorry, i was just”…..

“it’ okay, I should be the one apologizing for coming late”, he added again interrupting me.

“What would you like to take ? He asked, after the waiter came to get our orders.
