Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 21
Previously on the ruthless Alexandra â˘
Alexandra drove slowly towards the club, shifted in park before parking at an acute angle. She stepped out of the car after putting off the engine and proceeded into the club.
The beats of the music playing over the sound system hit her eardrum so loud that she reeled back. She began trotting around looking for Adam in the crowded club bumping into different men; some winked at her while one or two who were brave enough smacked her butt. She looked back at them with a bloodshot eyes letting out a sigh in a bid to calm herself down. She doesnât like to show off and wouldnât want to create a scene. She could have dealt with them but hesitated, and turned around to see Adam standing with a broad smile on his face.
âCassandra youâre lateâ, Amidu said grinning widely.
She gave him a forlorn look and handed him his car key.
âWhatâs wrong?â, Amidu asked and collected the key.
âI lost herâ, she said in a croaky voice which sounded real.
âWho?â
âMy patientâ, she said, forcing out a tear which slid down her eyes.
âWhat happened?â
âI was too late. She gave up the ghost on getting thereâ.
âAww! So painfulâ, Amidu said with a sympathetic look.
âThank you for the car anywayâ
âIts nothing Cassandraâ, Amidu said with a light smile. âIâm sorry for your lossâ, he engaged her in a tight embrace which got Alexandra dazed.

Continuation âââ
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Time: 10:00am
Location: Rainbow Town.
Amidu woke up lazily to the sound of his sonorous appalling alarm. He rolled to the other side of the bed and shoved it off. Though, his eyes were still blurred and not fully dilated from sleep, wanting to go for another round but suddenly jumped out of bed when his eyes caught a glimpse of the time. He blinked his eyes to be sure of what he was seeing, yet it remained static. Oops! He was d–n too late!. He took his phone on the bedside table beside the reading lamp. A frown appeared on his face as his phone was buzzed with several missed calls, he checked the calls; 5 missed calls from Cole, 2 missed calls from agent Dave, 2 missed calls from an unknown number and lastly 1 missed call from the DG. His heart started to thump loud, louder than a locomotive train as he dithered over the reason why he had called him. He was unable to think as his head pounded with an headache. He dialed Coleâs number and he pressed the phone against his ear as it rang. The call was answered after it rang a couple of times.
âHey boyâ, Amidu said as soon as the call was picked.
âWhere have you been?â, Cole asked over the phone, ignoring the pleasantries aspect.
âOh! Iâm sorry for that boy. Had a long nightâ
âOh really?â, Cole chuckled.
âWhatâs wrong?â, Amidu asked.
âThe DG and two top FBI agent came looking for you but you were not on seat. More worse with no record of you being here today. Now, the DG is very furious and the FBI agent is not helping matters either. I guess, you got your ass spooked already.â
Amidu blanched as his mouth flew open and a wrinkle formed on his forehead. His heart skipped several beats and for a moment, he was lost in a maze.
âHello?â, Cole called as the other end of the call was silent.
Amidu was jerked back to reality as Coleâs voice sounded in his ears.
âWhat__ what does the FBI agents want?â, he stuttered out of fear.
âI donât know yet but i heard the DG called and you didnât pick up just like you did to mine but anyway just get here fast, they are about to start a conference meetingâ, Cole said and the call ended.
Amidu stood petrified for a moment before the last two words materialized in his brain. He had called Cole to put him off his misery but only got aggravated. He quickly ran into the bathroom, brushed his teeth hurriedly and had a very short bath which he was done within minutes.
â˘â˘â˘Twenty minutes laterâ˘â˘â˘
He stepped out of the car, merely locking the doors as he walked in fast strides towards the DSS tall
building. He pressed a button situated beside the elevator door and it slid open which he stepped in, clutching his suitcase and adjusted his tie. The elevator door clicked open and he hurriedly stepped out to meet his worst fears. Two FBI agents, following closely by the DG and Cole who both had a case file in their hands.
Amidu stopped in his tracks as he stood still, transfixed and legs rooted to the ground.
âWhy are you just coming now?â, the DG asked, stepping out of the three.
âIiIâm sorry sirâ, Amidu replied, stuttering.
âYou donât have to be sorryâ, one of the FBI agents said. âThe case has been handled by someone capable, just be thankful that you are not deprived of your rank or suspendedâ.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Amidu paced around in his office, running his hair with his fingers and muttering incoherent words to himself. He was devastated by the ooutcome of the whole thing. The most sensitive case that has the tendency of promoting him has been taken away from him, not just taken away but his career was at stake too. The door suddenly flung open and the DG entered unannounced which Amidu was unaware of.
âAmiduâ, the DG called as he tapped him on the shoulder which snapped him out of his reverie.
âIts all your faultâ, the DG began, he drew out one of the visitorâs chair and sat facing Amidu.
âIâm sorry sirâ, Amidu apologized, bending down his head a little.
âI guess i already told you that the f—–g sorry would get you no where because you caused this shit yourself and all you need to do is take care of itâ
âAlright sirâ.
âI had to beg him on your behalf because his ulterior motive was to deprive you of your rankâ, the DG said.
âThank you sirâ
âThe Deputy Governor also wanted you off the case, I guess that was why FBI agents cameâ, the DG said thoughtfully.
Amidu nodded. âThat could be trueâ.
âBut youâve been drinkingâ, the DG looked up at Amidu who was surprised. âIt makes you a sane man and a very good agent, I guessâ.
âI. . .I . . .Iâ, he quieted down when he couldnât find any words to defend himself with.

Time: 1:pm
Location: Not detected.
A lady wearing a mask could be seen circling a man who was seated in a chair with hands and legs tied. Two huge men stood at either side of the door holding a gun which looked like a glock but with added telescope for shooting accuracy. The lady stopped midway at the front of her victim; the victim was the head guard. He had an indifferent look on his face and wasnât intimidated by the lady or the men watching with gun.
âWhere is your boss?â, the masked lady asked, putting her right leg on the chair in front of her and rested her elbow on the knee which supported her chin as she gazed at the head guard.
There was no response from the head guard as he kept mute with a confused look on his face. He doesnât understand English and couldnât comprehend what the masked lady was saying.
âI ainât joking man!, you gotta open your godamn mouth and tell me where the hell your boss is!â, the lady yelled in an american accent, bringing out a gun from her waist hostler.
She waited to see his expression but he wasnât moved by her threat so she pointed the gun to his head and cocked the gun.
âYou f—–g talk now or ama pull the trigger straight to ya headâ, the lady threatened with a furious look. She was getting infuriated by the confidence the guard showcased.
After waiting for about a minute, she pulled the trigger and blood spilled away from his head.
â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘â˘
Time: 4pm
Cole stepped out of the car and hurriedly ran over to the other side of the car and opened the door. A fair skinned, skinny lady stepped out of the car. She was wearing a blue jean trouser and a black round necked top, her eye glasses perching on her nose and a glamorous smile emitted from her face.
âThis way miladyâ, Cole said half bending and stretching out his hands which the lady laughed at.
The clumping sounds of her high heels shoe sounded as they walked hand in hand into the eatery with the lady laughing heartily.
They settled down on the chairs, facing each other. Cole wore a button down white shirt that hugged his body like a second skin. He gazed at her for a moment, lost in her beauty.
âYouâre beautiful Funmiâ, Cole muttered under his breath but audible enough for her to hear.
Funmi grinned, revealing her white sparkling teeth.
âHow many times will you tell me that huh?â, She said, still with a wide grin.
âIts the truth Funmi, your beauty slays that i could have apprehended you as a murdererâ
She bursted out laughing so hard that people around casted her a glance, checking if she was alright.
âCâmon Funmi, youâre attracting too much staresâ, Cole said looking around.
âOh! Forget about them. They are just d–k-heads who wouldnât mind their businessâ
Cole gave a short laugh.
âYouâre funnyâ, he said.
âAnd youâre funnierâ. She replied laughing again.
âLetâs get something to eat joorâ, Cole said waving a waitress over.
The waitress came by and they placed their orders.
Coleâs phone suddenly began to ring in his trouser pocket. He stood up and brought out his phone, checking the caller; it was agent Dave.
âSorry, I need to pick thisâ, He said and excused himself, walking away to a reasonable distance where the noise was subdued.
âHelloâ, he said as soon as he dragged the green icon.
âHey Cole weâve gotten a lead from the DSS forensicâ, Dave shouted over the phone.
âAre you serious?â, Cole asked exhilarated.
âDoes it sounds like am joking?â, Dave snapped.
âF–k you, would be there soonâ, Cole replied and hung up the call. He proceeded back to Funmi who was already eating.
âBaby Iâm sorry, I need to go nowâ, Cole said with an apologetic look.
Her jaws dropped dejectedly.
âWhy now?â
âWork calls baby but I promise am gonna visit you as soon as am done with workâ, Cole said and kissed her on the cheek which she reciprocated by kissing him full on the lips which got people looking at them.
âLemme drop you offâ, Cole said as they walked out of the eatery after she had footed the bills.
She shook her head sideways.
âNo, Iâll call my driver to pick me up hereâ.
âAlright then, see you laterâ, Cole said and briefly embraced her before he left and drove out of the park.
She brought out her phone and pulled a call across to her driver.
âHello meet me at the LA Victoryâs eatery nowâ. She immediately hung up without waiting for the receiver to reply.
Few minutes later, a highlander jeep slowly pulled up beside her. She hopped in to the backseat without saying a word to the driver and the driver took off, speeding away. She didnât notice there was a lady seated in the front seat beside the driver. It was Alexandra; she was rolling a gun with her fingers.
