When they walked past Michael
and Segun, the both of them
looked sideways and waited until
the elevator doors closed before
they started moving in the
direction of the two men but
quietly enough so the men
would not know they are being
followed.

Two of the soldiers were
engaged in a conversation with
themselves;

“Where exactly are we taking this
guy to?”

“I think we are supposed to take
her to where the girl is and leave
her with the guys there”

“I don’t even understand why we
have to bring him all the way up
when we could have just kept
him in one of the offices here
and locked him in. this place is so
big”

“We are to receive orders not
think them through man, do as
they say and we can never go
wrong”

“Never go wrong but do we even
know what we are doing here?

We are not supposed to be
walking around Aso Rock like
this, perhaps our superiors are
up to something”

“Well we are not sure so we
should just follow their directives
until we do. Personally, I think
they are planning a coup and we
are part of their plans”
“If they are planning a coup, then
this might be dangerous”

“What do you mean dangerous?”

“What if the whole thing fails?
We can all be in serious trouble”
“How will it fail when the Chief of
Army staff, the Chief of Air staff
and the Chief of Naval staff are all
involved? They have taken
control of this house and soon,
the country will recognize them
as the new leaders”
“I just hope so”
The continued their discussion
and the soldier would
occasionally push the man in
their midst, urging him to walk
faster and meet their pace as
they passed the numerous doors
on the sides of the corridor. One
of them looked at a door and felt
uneasy

“What if there are people behind
these doors”

“There can’t be anyone there, we
checked everywhere this
morning and no one was found
there. This house has been taken
down completely and easily”

IBK and Izu stood behind the
door of the office they were in
and they heard the conversation
the soldiers were engaged in
and they wondered why Segun
and Michael had not done
anything yet. They listened as
they heard their footsteps pass
through the front of the door
and kept moving then Izu
opened the door a little and took
a peak outside to see Michael
and Segun coming towards the
men quietly.

Michael saw Izu put his head out
and he pass him without a word
or a nod. He looked back at
Segun who appeared to have the
same plan as him. Michael dug
his right hand into his back and
pulled out a sharp knife and
approached the men faster while
Segun walked a little slower to
enable him go in front of him
while the soldier continued their
chat.

Segun spoke into the
communicator microphone at
the back of his hand and the
door to one of the offices in
front to the soldiers opened and
one of his team members came
out. The soldiers stopped
andraised their guns at him as
one of them asked;

“Who are you and what are you
doing here”

Michael picked up his speed and
broke into a run towards the
little group while the Presidential
guard member raised his hand
up and got on his knees and
said;

“I work here as a cleaner don’t
shoot me please”
The soldiers at the back put his
hand on the right shoulder of the
man they were leading on while
he looked to try to figure out
what to do with the person in
front of them not knowing that
Michael was now close enough
to touch him.

Michael’s left hand went in front
of him towards the soldier’s face
as he covered his mouth and he
slashed the throat with his right
hand. He held on tight and was
sure not to make any sound
neither did he allow the soldier
to make a sound as the soldier
went into a sort of spasm and
his body fought as life gradually
slipped out of it.

Michael held on to the soldier
making sure he did not make a
sound but the man had felt the
soldier’s had suddenly leave his
shoulder and he looked back to
see a horrific sight as blood
oozed slowly from the neck. He
did not catch the cutting because
Michael was fast with it. He tried
to shout but saw the look on
Michael’s face and he kept his
screams muffled.
