The Taste Of Revenge - Episode 5

 

There was a big commotion and pandemonium in the government house as police officers trooped in and out looking for clues.

The press were not left out either, they gather as much information they could from people.

The number of journalist and reporters in the government house were too much for the security officers to control.

"Mr Amidu, who do you think is behind the kidnap of Governor Martins?", a journalist threw a question at SA Amidu immediately he came out from the government house.

"We have no lead yet, but be rest assured that the criminal would be apprehended soon", SA Amidu replied as different microphones were stretched to his mouth while several cameramen were taking his pictures.

"Could you please, explain why..."

"We can't give out crucial information to the press, so as not to screw up things".

The journalist voice trailed off as SA Amidu cut in and left the premises to the parking lot.

He opened the driver seat of his BMW 6x and hopped in, he closed the door and heaved a sigh of relief.

He badly needeed results but mind you, not just any result but good results.

He ignited the car engine and drove off to his office at the DSS headquarters

The Deputy Governor, Oludare Kayode was seated on a swivel chair in his office, his head buried in his hands.

The office was exquisitely furnished. There were two chairs at his front reserved for visitors and a desk loaded with piles of documents.

He was drowned in his thoughts as he kept on muttering incoherent words to himself.

The reason why he was worried wasn't far fetched from the kidnapped governor.

If the first and overall citizen could be kidnapped then the whole state and its citizens are insecured.

To make matters worst, the attacker left no trails behind, nothing for the police to deliberate on.

He raised his head up, his facial expression was that of a boy worried about his father.

He was in is late forties, he had a bald head and a goatee beards on his chin which suit him.

He stood up, picked his phone, dialed a number and pressed the phone to his ear.

"Hello Haruna, whatsup", he spoke into the mouthpiece of the phone.

"Nothing much sir", the receiver replied.

"So, what do you have for me?"

"Like i said, nothing much sir

. Amidu hasn't debriefed me about their findings yet, but i will arrange to meet him right away sir", Haruna replied with a quivery voice. He was the director general of the DSS force.

"Are you sure Amidu is competent for the work? You know the people need answers", the deputy asked with quandary in his voice.

"Very well sir!, he is able and efficient"

"Well then, he got to prove himself in this", the deputy said and hung up, he sat down and swirled on the chair.

A smile crept across his face as he remembered something.

SA Amidu drove past the gate and into the carport, the guards saluted him as he drove in but he ignored them.

He stepped out of his car and wore his sunglasses, he walked into the building majestically as though he was having a show off of his walking skills.

The DSS agents were huddled in offices. The disappearance of the governor is making them go bonkers, making them do kooky things, mad as a hatter.

His phone rang out aloud as he was about entering into his office.

He brought the phone out from his pocket and checked the caller, it was the DG, He picked it.

"Hello", he spoke into the phone.

"Hello Amidu, i want a debriefing meeting in an hour time", the DG said with impatience in his voice.

"Alright, i'll be right there now"

"No, save your stress. Am coming over", the DG said and hung up.

Amidu frowned as soon as he dropped the call. He hasn't gotten enough information to brief the DG and he very much knew the DG wants immediate answers.

"Good morning sir!", Cole saluted bringing him back from his reverie of thoughts.

"Yeah morning boy", he replied and pushed the door open while Cole followed behind.

The office was spacious, having an ample space which was occupied with a desk, filling cabinets, a swivel chair, a water dispenser, bits of paper pinned to a wallboard.

The desk was occupied with different documents and case files; a laptop, mugs full of pen, a telephone, a framed photograph of the Governor, unwashed coffee cups and sheets of paper scattered all over the place.

He settled down on his chair and shook his head at the mess. The alcohol was really taking its toll on him and he couldn't withstand being busted by the DG.

"The DG demands for a debriefing meeting in an hour time", he said to the hearing of Cole who his eyes darted around the office. To him, it was a normal thing for his boss to be messy.

Cole looked at him surprised. But anyway he knew what that meant.

"So, what do we have?", Amidu asked and looked up at Cole who was still standing and his hand on one of the visitor's chair.

"Bad news and good news" he replied emphatically.

Amidu took a deep breath.

"Bad news first" he demanded.
