*****
“No don’t, they will need bigger
guns to hit us with so we can
keep stalling for now until we
get more orders from the
Minister”
Musa said;

“When you mean bigger guns do
you mean those truck mounted
machine guns they are shooting
at us?”

Lai pulled back up and noticed in
the morning lights that the men
on the ground had opened fire
on them with some guns
mounted on trucks and he also
noticed that there were tanks
stationed around the houseready
to shoot at them. He said:
“Okay those change the
dynamics of things”
He pushed one of the
communication buttons and
said;

“Control, where are the
remaining birds? It is about to
get real up here”
The reply came almost
immediately;

“Johnson and Wale are about to
get in the airwhile Abdul is
waiting is getting geared up. We
got a call from the Air Force
telling us to stand down some
minutes ago but we told them
we are under direct orders from
the President. Seems they don’t
have the same orders we have
sir”
Lai said:

“Okay good job. Now get me
through to the minister, we need
to ask for clearance to shoot
back at these guys. In the
meantime, Faith, Ayo and Musa,
stay out of reach of those guns”
Ifeoma walked around the room
nervously, she had just gotten
word that her daughter was
with DMI agent Shade and they
were heading to a secure
location but the mission in the
house was still ongoing.

“Have they gain access to the
communications room yet?”
“I doubt it; I am still tracking
communications between the
house and a lot of military
installations across the country,
looks like they are trying to get
the Air Force to get the jets to
monitor the skies above the
house” Kuyi said

“In that case, we have to warn
the pilots there or get them out
before they are ambushed”
“The Air Force seems to be
resisting, the Chief of Air Staff has
been on line with the base at the
airport for the sometime now
and still they are not agreeing to
send in air support”
“Why won’t they?” Quari asked
“Perhaps they watched the
president this morning and don’t
want to get into a situation
where they might be hanged for
treason” Ifeoma said
“Especially with the presidential
guards taking to the air”
“Okay what’s next?” Ifeoma
asked

Kuyi looked at Quadri and said;
“Where are those hunters of
yours?”

“They are in the tunnels just
under the grounds but they say
the military presence is too
much, they have tanks down
there and are bringing out anti
aircraft guns”

“We better warn those fighter
jets out there” Ifeoma said “Kuyi
get me that captain on the line
right now. they should know
what they are up against”
Kuyi quickly got to work on the
controls trying to get to the
control room of the Presidential
guards Air support and he
noticed that they were already
calling. He looked up and Ifeoma
and said;

“They are on the line already”
He pushed the button to allow
them communicated and static
came through the speaker as
Lai’s voice same through the
static;

“This is Captain Lai, we took
down the helicopters as they
fired on us first but now, the
troops on the ground have
pointed anti aircraft guns at us.
What do we do?”
Quadri said;

“You and your team should get
out of there or stay out of range
for now until it is safe to go in”
Ifeoma looked at Quadri and
shook her head.She said;

“Captain, can you take out the
guns, tanks and troops? We have
a ground force waiting to move
in but they are a disturbance as
they make the mission too
dangerous to call”
