CHAPTER SIX
Ben
sat motionless feeling his head ache terribly his blood rushing and heart
bumping.
“Hadiza!”
he managed to call
“Ben”
she answered softly
“You
killed my team finish it then, get on with it!”
“If
I wanted taking you out with any sense of urgency I would have without delay.
However, I want to have your last words”
“To
hell with you!”
“Don’t
be so rash, Ben” she advised
Ben
couldn’t believe Hadiza had been the assailant all along. Why would she be the
one to kill him? She was his instructor during arms handling course at the
command’s training facility in Maitama when he was commissioned. Though 31years
old and way his senior in the chain of seniority, they had been quite on
friendly terms.
“I
feel
sorry for you, Hadiza”
“I
don’t feel same. Tell me, why does the CG and DCC want you dead?”
“He
will kill you too”
“Shut
up and give me a straight answer!"
she ordered
Director
Mustapha knew Ben will be too much of a risk to handle after the mission. If he
lets him return alive, haven witnessed all he had, one thing will lead to the
other and he will be floored; not with Hadiza haven showed her self to him.
Besides, he had found out that the DCC had planned using the programme for
himself.
“I
don’t believe you, mister” she replied
“You
have to”
“The
DCC wants to turn us into the most powerful agency in Africa, capable of
unimaginable feats”
“Is
that what he told you?”
“Come
on, Ben, isn’t that what we all dream of?”
He
nodded
“Then
give me the laptop, hand it now!” she ordered
Without
a gun, Ben knew too well that he was defenseless against one of the most lethal weapons
of the SS. Any false move, she will blow up his head. Quietly, he handed over
the laptop.
She
pulled out her phone and dialed
a number
“Director!”
“what’s
going on?” his voice was hard
“I
have Ben in sight, about to decimate”
“What
are you waiting for?”
“Nothing!”
“What
about the override?”
She
turned and looked at Ben, and something in her moved
“He
destroyed it before I could get to him” she lied
“Damn
it Hadiza!” he yelled
“I’m
sorry, I tried but I was late”
“You
are sorry indeed. You have ruined my dreams, my ambitions and my plans”
“What
exactly are your plans and dreams?”
“Shut
up and return immediately, the mission is over. And shoot that fool, right
now!”
“Alright
that!”
At
that, she squeezed the trigger five times. The Director heard the sound of the
berretta and smiled.
Hadiza
knew the DCC was hiding something from her and she’s going to find out what
really is it may be Ben had been right all along. She turned to the body lying
few meters away from her.
