A 48 year old man, with 2 kids who currently school in the United Kingdom is one of the aspirants coming out to contest for the presidency . It’s been a torrid time for the people of Ghana as the current president John Kumma as finally revealed that he would be stepping aside from his office after 12 years in power.

Screen flip in retrospect to their video call on Skype

Colonel Alan: I understand you pretty well Senator but you still need to give us some time

Senator Williams: This have been what you have been telling me since two weeks that you were recommended to me by the president of Nigeria

Colonel Alan: (Getting pissed off already) Alright Senator. Let me come out straight with you

. We have just 6 grade A agents with us. And 5 are currently on duty in Syria, Bangladesh and Russia.

Senator Williams: What happened to the 6th one?

Colonel Alan: Hold on Senator. The 6th one is currently on leave and should be back any time soon -a reason I suggested you should give me some time to figure things out.

Senator Williams: Oh now I understand you. Am so sorry for the way I talked earlier during our conversation

Colonel Alan: Its fine Senator. Just give me some little time and I promise immediately he resumes back to work, you would be the first to know as he would be deployed over to your location.

Senator Williams: Thanks so much Colonel

Colonel Alan: Wait, hope you’ve sent the necessary information we required of you to General Smith

Senator Williams: That shouldn’t be a problem. I will ask my head of security to send that across to him very soon.

. And please, I want an African descent. I don’t want a white secret agent ;which might want to raise some eye brows.

Colonel Alan: Never worry about that Senator. The agent I am sending to you is an African American . He is our best black agent and keeps a high profile even in his country, Nigeria.

Senator Williams: Oh, Good! then. Thanks for the time Colonel.

Colonel Alan: Sorry for the inconveniency Senator. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

The phone conversation ended.

Colonel Alan: What’s with Agent Ola? He should be here by now as he picked the intercom on his table and punched in some digits.

Agent Tracy? Please report to my office immediately. He hung up.

Few minutes later, Colonel Alan’s door opened and Agent Tracy marched in. Agent Tracy was putting on a black fitted Jean trouser in her Army-cutomised mufty.

Colonel Alan: Where’s Agent Ola?

Agent Tracy: (I knew it! She said in her mind) He has not resumed back to work yet.

Colonel Alan: Are you serious? Is it not just a month leave?

Agent Tracy: Yes sir. He was suppose to resume last week Monday but we’ve not seen him

Colonel Alan: Where is he? Is he still in the states or he travelled out of the states for his leave?

Agent Tracy: Erm… I really have no idea sir but I think he might have travelled down to Africa on his leave.

Colonel Alan: Africa? You can’t be kidding me! I need to get in touch with him. In fact, he has to report back to work immediately. Do some findings and get back to me as soon as you can.

Agent Tracy; Alright sir. 

She salutes and walked out of his office
