Chapter 40 - VALENTINE’S HOPE

"you need to be really careful of this guy, as decent they appear as dangerous they are, said Valentine leaving his royal men. Valentine men were prepared, as Valentine himself steps onto the garage to begin the barbaric journey. He stood with his legs closely closed and his hands on his walking stick right in front of him, 

"now I want a nice, clean game, (he looked at all of them faces), from all of you, "now move it, Ogbolo ordered (foot steps matching) as his men separates themselves into different buses, (Valentine smiled) "like fun like funny words, (his face changed) now the game has began. 

"Everyone a simple mission was given to us by our young master, to retrieve a lady… "huhhhh!!!, the Nobel men all reacted, "order fools.. I mean soldiers this is not the time to play, (all men stood straight), when a master gives an order you follow in what? 

"ORDER, they all replied. Jonathan stressed the word "Good". Alex came out of his house as Oliver follow's from behind, "Jonathan, we've no time for wedlock, hit the road please, said Alex heading to a bus, mean while Oliver followed him from behind operating a tap, "ok this won't take a long journey to follow Mr. Valentine on his butt, according to the tracker I built-in his phone.. his about to move, in other to get him faster if you want, you'll have to take the bridge, said Oliver. "Good I must save Sofia, do you've an idea where that little boy is, what's his name? "are you talking of Anthony? Oliver asked, "yes, Alex replied entering the bus, (Jonathan's voice rose in commands), "no I don't, haven't head from him since that day, said Oliver going in. 

"little butt, havity soldiers, move.. your.. ass, Jonathan shouted 

 

"So we've have Mr. Walker and two other candidates, Mr. Baba lola and Mr Henry here in town hall, right in front of us today, he has decided to tell us the reason, I mean the true reason why he.. has given up his presidential election campaign and later changed his mind, so Mr. Walker the people are ready to hear you, please can you speak? 

"Elm ..(he cleared his throat), I'll be Frank with you guys, this election is going to bloody war of cause, in not only the country but in people's homes, I was once a president of this country, and I was great full to save my country and the people in it positively.. so I decided to redraw and let the first time candidates try their luck but.. (Mr. Walker took a deep breath), I was thinking if the successful candidate can not be able to meet up his.. his duties as a president of this country after one year of his tenor, then he will be removed by law.. but thinking over again I noticed I was actually becoming too greedy for my safety and wasn't thinking about the people, so I came back to serve my country and not my family or myself, so that's it" "ok thank you Mr. Walker please, I'll like us to view a little of what is happening outside, (characters chatter) "no, no we can't let this man in, we want to see Mr. Valentine himself and not his subordinate, Mr. Abuka please go back home. 

(Town hall, characters giggled) "so Mr. Valentine who is also campaigning for 2023 fort coming election, has refused to show up for the Town hall debate, it's been marked by the wise citizens of Nigeria. 

"so our journey of meeting up for now, is going to take 20miles in 20 minutes driving in 60miles per hour, with Valentine's travelling according to the tracker, the speed of his vehicle is consuming 16 kilometer per litter (km/L) of diesel taking an absolutely 6.25km/h in 15 minutes rolling in seconds, calculating the amount of liter he burns out in a full gallon, he won't be able to make it through out the journey so there a possibility that Valentine, would have to stop at a diesel station around 1am in the morning, (Oliver raising up his hand) and.. (hard thud on the ground of the vehicle). 

After some hours travelling almost meeting up with Valentine, all the soldiers covered their noses Alex gave a soldier sign to work along, the soldier turned on the sleeping gas, at first Jonathan who nose wasn't covered was confused , "what are you all doing? He asked as he finally looked at Alex he notice Alex's nose was also on a nose closed, there and then he realized what was going on, he quickly grabbed his, but to late he couldn't meet up (hard thud to the ground, gaseous exposure was turned off) Jonathan passed out. 

Getting into the building were Valentine was, Oliver came across a lady managing the building, 

"hi girl I'm talking to you, 

"me?, "hey you sexy lady, 

"oh my God, she said smiling closer to Oliver. Immediately Alex injected her beside the neck (hard thud on the ground) "there is no time for this rubbish, said Alex putting on his gloves properly, "Oliver, "yes. 

"I want you to try if you could connect to this building with that device, he said crossing over the lady's body, Oliver made an hasty look on the lady "Alex, he called running after him, "what are you using that for? 

Alex answered him walking straight forward; we can surround Valentine if we could be able to get our hands on the building, the probability of losing Valentine is.. as far as I'm concerned is being far above a base. 

"Oh I see now, now I'm getting to understand you, but you seems to be enjoying this, said Oliver, "that's the problem we all are facing in Nigeria, if you say your mind then you have to give your reasons immediately, so the opposite side can understand you better… I am not enjoying this, I'm more concern of my Lady I love, Alex replied (door slammed open). 

"I don't think that connection will work, this building is all wired with creaky, creepy old shirts, said Oliver looking around, they both walked into the emergency electric room, "how did you know we were going to end up here? Oliver asked looking amazed, "I don't why but, this building seems a little bit familiar to me, said Alex 

 Oliver was busy trying to detach the wires when he felt un easy going friend immediately he bent squeezing his face, "nature calls man, hmm.. said Oliver, "are you pregnant? Alex asked. "what kind of question is that.. hmm.. come on stay with me, said Oliver as he turned with Alex following him, (guns clicks) the two nut agent froze with their hands raised in the air, "freeze this is the police, "but we're already frozen, said Alex, "short up niggers, said a cop, "what dose he mean? Oliver asked with his face showing his in pressure, "are you asking me, dose he know what nigger means (liquid flows down), "What's that sound? One of them asked, Oliver looked down while Alex looked at him, he just realized he was already passing out the urine on his pant, "no God!! Come on, Alex shouted, "YEAH!!, can you two focus, (they both raised their heads) what are you two doing with the junction box? Both Alex and Oliver looked at each other and nodded, facing their enemies they turned looked at each other again and nodded, facing their enemies (relax breath) "come on what's your problem? the two characters asked them self's. Oliver winked in worries, "Alex this won't be easy, said Oliver with a calm voice, "I know… just give me some minute to think, "I don't think we've time for that, said Oliver, "can you just… Alex looked at Oliver surprisingly, "I thought you were done with that? (Liquid drops continuously) "I told you there was no time, "but it wasn't a minute you said that.. 

"come on I'm still hanging on, said Oliver, "what did you drink.. ok in the count of three you pull out your gun, said Alex "why count up to three, can't you make it short Oliver asked "YEAH!! One of Valentine's men shouted instead they both told them to wait with just a show of their palms, "I can't, Alex replied. "why can't you? Oliver asked again, "because that's what bad boys count.. in every action movie I've watched… Valentine's men looked at each other (guns clicks), (surprise gasp) both characters turned with a quick hand on their gun to pull it out, 

Gun fires continuously (Surprise gasp), immediately both Oliver and Alex bent avoiding the in coming bullets looking for where to seclude themselves, bullets fires carelessly kept penetrating into human bodies. Bodies dropped continuously till all Valentine's men were dead, (shooting stops) Alex and Oliver slowly came out, seeing all Valentine's on the floor, "oh my goodness who killed all the cops, where you the one? Oliver asked looking at Alex who just stood stave, Oliver stood facing Alex directly "nigger right now I know I'm all socked under here and I smells terrible but let me tell you, I'm not a kid so you don't have to stand in that manner just tell me I smell and we'll continue.. Alex tapped Oliver; how is this possible do you have an idea about this? 

"about what? Just tell me I smell and stop acting strange, said Oliver with a sad face bending to fold his trouser, Alex "no child look 

"say hello to your Granma, said Mrs. Mary. (Room turned red) 

"warning, warning, warning in coming unknown vehicle, it running in a high speed, I repeat it's running in a high speed, it coming.. (gun shoot continuously), the CCTV was turned on. 

"hello Mr Valentine I wasn't serious in life until I met you, so I just sent an uncontrollable vehicle loaded with bombs inside, sorry, said Alex from the walky-talky. Immediately Valentine looked though the window hoping to see the vehicle his men joined him, they all looked at the small CCTV screen seeing the vehicle and turned to the window again nothing, again they repeatedly did the same thing finally seeing the vehicle heading towards them. 

"quick change the channel, said a muscle grown up fool They all looked at him, Valentine watched the vehicle stop right against the wall in front of him, "dive, shouted Valentine men, Ogbolo pulled himself with Valentine to the floor, closing their ears waiting for the bomb to explored. 

"quick, quick move it, no sitting back, no relaxation just move your ass quick, quick... along the command a solider bent tiring his shoe lace, immediately Jonathan kicked him on the butt, "what are you, young master is ahead and you're here passing that through your eyelets shoe, would you move it piece of shite. 

(Musical instruments began to play so loud) they gently got up, "What's the meaning of this, (Valentine turned back seeing his men still standing still), "what are you people waiting for stupid babies would you get him, Valentine commanded. "Mr. Va..len..tine.. what the face, quite a shoot.. was your heart pounding, I previously forget you are too old, I shouldn't have done that, I hope your blood pressure isn't high, if it is I'm deeply sorry, said Alex from the walky-talky. Valentine was about to smash the walky-talky on the floor when resisted and smiled, "let's see how you'll play this game young boy, said Mr. Valentine as he finally smashed the walky-talky on the floor, "Ogbolo take me to Sofia right now, (Ogbolo lead the way getting to the room he stopped), and go check if what I told you earlier has been prepared, said Valentine. "yes sir I'll, said Ogbolo, "Good, you may leave, said Valentine to open the door while Ogbolo quickly went for the message. (Throat cleared) Valentine held the handle of the door and was about to open, to his greatest surprise the door clicked open on it's own, it slowly opened slightly Valentine was shucked by who he saw, "Philip, he said and shifted his head backwards, "I don't don't understand what are you doing here? Valentine asked him slowly pushing the door completely open, only find out Philip actual motive was to escape with Sofia, (breathing heavily) Valentine said nothing he just kept looking at them, while Philip was in tense that his father caught him right handed, but instead Valentine switched roll quickly when he noticed his men coming "no, no, no son, Valentine reacted quickly going inside he closed the door behind, "come on put her back on the chair, there is no need of saving her, I actually kept it as a trap for who so ever that have been assisting her family from behind to get up on their feet each time I strike… 

"yes, yes father I'm so sorry don't get me wrong, I noticed the presence of a guy who usually help her so I decided to take her away from here, said Philip putting Sofia back on the chair, "it's ok son I understood you, said Valentine tiring her back on the chair with the rope, "oh my goodness, I can't believe you followed me all the way here, so Sofia would have gone missing while I was in the end of thinking you were in my support with this.. you have truly grown up my supposed son, I would've ended up losing everything thank God I was here in time, if not this spoilt child would've destroyed all my plan, Valentine thought after properly tiring Sofia to the chair he said; but I wounded what have been taking Mr. Williams so long to get here, Philip face was filled with guilt as he think of what he actually did when he head that, "what do I do should I tell him I actually tied Mr. Williams up, no, no that won't be funny at all, but what if I tell him to avoid his suspects on me that would actually help. 

"elm father, wait a minute are you talking of the man I followed up here into this room? (he drew Valentine's attention), "what dose he look like? Valentine asked, "well it's had to classify that man but I tied him up and threw him into that wall drop, Philip pointed at a certain wall drop in the room, Valentine quickly rushed to the wall drop like everything in his life was about to drawn, opening it right there was Mr. Williams laying unconscious, "oh my goodness what did you do to him? Valentine asked. "I'm sorry father, but who would've thought he was actually here for you and wasn't sent by that ass hole to pretend in other to take Sofia from our have, I really didn't want you to lose the only chance you have to kill him, get what you want and then Sofia will be mine, said Philip helping his father
