He settled down on his chair and shook his head at the mess.

Read " The Voice " by the same author ( Tz Jay )

. 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 usual 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.

************

Cole heaved a sigh not of relief but for the information he was about revealing.

"Bad news, the governor's wife and daughter are missing", Cole said and pulled the chair backward, he sat down and looked at Amidu straight in the eye.

He could read his expression, his expression was that of shock and fear but he did a great job at concealing it.

"Missing?", Amidu asked with doubts removing the eye glass from his face.

"Yes, they are missing, i presumed they were kidnapped by the same perpetrator", Cole said with certainty.

"Yeah that could be true, so what about the good news", Amidu asked crouching on the backrest of the chair.

"Good news, the surveillance camera captured a faint image which I believe was the perpetrator and we observed some fingerprints on a flat piece of metal which the vicious criminal used as weapon"

"wow! Thats a good news, have you run a test on the fingerprints?", Amidu asked elatedly.

"No, we haven't we were waiting for your go ahead order", Cole replied.

"lets do this quickly", he said and stood up . He walked out of the office to the control room while Cole follwed suit.

"lets check the surveillance camera first", Amidu said as they reached the door of the room.

The door had a small screen beside it, it was a password panel which would grant them entrance into the room.

Cole inputed the four digits pin and the door opened

. They both walked in.

The room was a very small one, dark and was only lit up by the reflection from the computer monitor's screen.

Cole sat on a chair in front of the master computer, he punched in a command and the screen maximized showing different on going video clips.

He clicked the footage of the governor's house and they started watching.

Cole fast forwarded the streaming to 23.57, the video display showed no specific movement or activity.

"Rewind the streaming!", Amidu suddenly shouted.

Cole did as he was being instructed.

He paused the footage and rewound it slowly.

They saw a shadow sliding down from a roof of a building with the aid of a rope and then the shadow seemed to disappear.

Cole paused it and zoomed in on the shadow. The face of the shadow was blurred and covered by a mask as it was in the darkness. They only saw the eyes but the rest of the body was covered in a black suit.

Cole took a deep breath, he turned back and looked at the puzzled Amidu.

"Do you have any idea of who that was?", Amidu asked pointing at the shadow.

"No, i don't, but i've seen that type of suit somewhere", Cole replied

"you've seen it before?"

"yes, but it was just a mere picture , the suit is a ninja suit"  Cole explained.

"A ninja?"

"yes, a ninja"

"Then, we have no idea of what we are dealing with", Amidu said with worriment in his voice

Governor Martin twitched in pain and discomfort as a bucket of cold water was poured on his face, his eyes opened slowly. His vision was blurred at first and he felt drowsy. At first, he was seeing more than fifty faces staring down at him. It took him sometime before his vision became clear, then he saw a lady seated on a chair with her legs crossed.

He looked around the room, squinting his eyes to accommodate the light as his head pounded with an headache, the room was quite empty.

He saw two people tied to a chair at the end of the room, he couldn't make out their face as their back was turned to him.

He tried to sit comfortably, but only ended up groaning loudly.

He was strapped to a chair, hands and legs firmly tied.

He looked up at the seated lady, the lady was clad in a black suit covering her whole body, save for her eyes.

He realized she was his captor, he immediately had cold feet.

He knew what she was capable of doing, but the reason why she hasn't killed him baffled him alot.

Probably, she needed him alive or so he thought.

Alexandra stood up and walked closer to the governor. She squatted before him looking straight into his eyes.

He frozed for a moment but quickly regained himself.

"Hello governor", she said with a wave of hand.

"Do you remember me?", she said and uncovered her face, allowing her hair to fall back freely.

The governor stared at her, pouting his lips, trying to recall but he couldn't. She didn't look familiar and he couldn't have seen her anywhere.

He shook his head before saying 

"No".

Alexandra let out a short laugh and in the next second, her face and expression was damn scary as a frown crept over her face.

"Does the name Desmond Elliott ring a bell?", She asked in a hostile and gruffy voice.
