The Guardians - Season 1 - Episode 127

☆☆*****
“Head hunters are in position”
Quadri said
“Okay, I also sent a message to
Michael and his men that the
coast should be cleared for
them”

Michael had stood by the door
with Izu waiting for a moment
when the soldier would break
through and come for them.
They knew it would not take long
before they climbed the tail and
come towards them and it was
better not to be caught napping.

The minister had told him that
she would do something about
the soldier on the other side but
he did not really believe that;
except they had an
overwhelming force that can
take them out.

The two guards who stood by
the door stoodthere and
watched it from the outside and
when they saw a head poke over
the helicopter’s tail, they knew it
was about to start and they
prepared their rifles but
something strange happened. All
of a sudden,there was a burst of
guns from somewhere outside
and the hall was filled with
screams of agony and pains. The
sound was so loud that Michael,
Segun, Izu and IBK ran out to see
what was happening. They
looked at one another in
disbelief but still could not say
what was happening.

It went on for some seconds and
then as suddenly as it started, it
stopped. Michael looked
confused and wondered what
sort of trick it could have been
and his radio came alive
“Agent Michael here” he said still
looking forward
“We have tried our best to clear
up the hallway for you and your
men. While we cannot guarantee
that the threat has been
completely neutralized, we hope
it has been greatly reduce so you
can go ahead and finish this
gentlemen” Kuyi’s voice said
“Okay sir”

Michael disconnected it and said
“Okay people, seems we have
been given a clear field and we
have been ordered to effect the
arrest of the leaders of this coup
solet’s move it and I am not sure
they got all the hostiles so please
keep those eyes of your peeled
and watch out for bad guys”
He looked at Segun and said;
“Conference room; which way is
it?”

“Down the hall, we get to the
entrance and we down, not
difficult to find”

“Okay then, let’s move out”
He turned to Izu and IBK who
both stood behind and said;
“I can’t ask the both of you to
come with me this time, I hope
you understand that; this can get
rally messy”
IBK answered;

“I doubt if it can get as messy as
walking intoTetuan and
grabbing someone from the
presidential palace, I think that
was a lot messier actually so we
are in”

“Okay then, keep your eyes
peeled and create a perimeter at
all instance: we don’t want to be
surprised by an ambush”

They all checked their weapons
and approached the broken off
tail cautiously andat each
moment, they turned to look at
their backs and sides. Michael
lead the team with Segun beside
him while Izu and IBK had the
rear and the two Palace guards
took the sides. They got to the
stairs they came down from and
it was empty except for a guard
who was injured and groaning.

One of the palace guards already
had his gun pointed at him and
then decided against it.

They got to the tail of the
helicopter and Michael climbed
over. He got to the other sideand
it was filled with bodies. He
looked up to the entrance and it
was just empty and bodies in
different positions littered the
hall. he tapped the tail and Segun
came over to hisside, then the
two guards and finally Izu and
IBK. They all had the same
reaction Michael had except that
Izu spoke;

“What happened here? Seems
like someone came with with
some huge fire power”

“Look at the windows” IBK said,
“whatever did this came from
outside the building and I think
we better hurry just in case they
feel they should come back for
another sweep to get those they
might have missed”

“Great idea, let’s move but keep
your eyes opened”

They walked slowly until they got
to the entrance to the house
itself and all they could find were
soldiers crawling inside with
different types of injuries trying
to get inside. They did not waste
any time trying to understand
what was happening so as not
toarouse suspicion. Segun led
them through the halls that lead
in front of the entrance directly
towards the conference room
Walking they went through the
hall, they saw that there was no
need to be on guard as although
the injured soldiers had reduced,
those on guard seem to think
that everyone was the same and
they did not think there would
be a force from the opposition
present to pose a problem for
them. They saw a pair of doors in
front of them and Segun leaned
against the wall. Michael joined
him and said;

“Why are we stopping here?”
“The conference room in behind
those doors but I don’t think
there is a way of getting inside
without the soldiers raising
suspicion”

“Just follow my lead” Michael said
They walked casually towards the
soldiers and when they got
there, one of the soldiers at the
entrance said;

“Where do you think you are
going?”
Michael said;

“We were told to help increase
the guards here with the recent
attacks and all”

“Then stay here”
“We were told that you are to
ensure that no one gets here
while we join the guards in the
lobby” Segun cut in

The soldier looked at them for
some seconds and they stepped
aside reluctantly not because
they did not believe them but
because they did not like the fact
that they had to stay and keep
watch outside while they went
in. the front was beginning to
lookand feel unsafe and it would
be a lot more convenient if they
had some more doors between
them and the outside which was
kept watch on by jet fighters
which just shot at them some
minutes ago.

Segun led them as the doors
opened and they entered a large
lobby. There were chairs all
around which looked like where
visitors would sit down to wait
until they are attended to. In the
lobby were 4 guards who looked
at the new people and took their
eyes off them. They looked tired
and sleep deprived but still sharp
and did not look like they could
be caught unawares.

The doors closed behind them
and Izu heard a familiar click
which could only mean the door
was locked. Now they were stuck
in a room with four mean
looking guards and they had to
get past them to get where they
needed to go.

The soldiers did not bother
introducing themselves as it
dawned on Michael that they
were probably not from the
same place, just abunch of
soldiers selected out of others to
watch a place and he was
relieved. Two of them were
seated on the chairs while the
other two roamed around the
lobby probablyin boredom or
were trying to check them out.

He was afraid to look towards
Segun because exchanging looks
might give them away but he
realized that he had no choice
and he looked towards Segun.

Segun had been waiting for
Michael to at least acknowledge
him immediately he entered the
lobby so as to at least come up
with a plan. When they entered,
he had exchanged quick glances
with his men and they had
developed a plan between
themselves. They were really
used to one another as they
formed the same team and really
don’t have to talk but Michael and
the DSS agents were not part of
that click and communication
with them tended to be difficult.

At last Michael looked towards
Segunand Segun simply nodded
at him and looked away.

Michael caught the look Segun
gave him but he did not
understand it. It was a little bit
vague to him but he knew that
Segun was upto something and
whatever it was, it would happen
soon. He allowed his hand fall to
his sides and he felt the sidearm
which had a silencer attached to
it to be sure it was in place and
he expected and thing to happen
next
