Banana Island – The Governor’s Daughter's Secret Visit
The black bulletproof Mercedes glided through silent roads, flanked by police escorts.
Inside, the governor’s daughter checked her reflection. It was her best friend's birthday, not an official appearance.
No one expected danger.

Meanwhile…
Taye lay still on a rooftop, eye to the sniper scope.
Breath steady. Hands cold.
He hated every second of this.
Tola stood by the roadside, masked in black, a loaded RPG at his side and M-16s strapped behind him.
Then—
pop!
The lead police Hilux’s tire burst.
The convoy screeched to a halt.
Officers jumped down—alert.
Confused.
In seconds… they fell. One by one.
The back escort stopped too. Same fate.
The governor’s daughter’s eyes widened.
Then—BOOM!!!
The RPG hit the car.
It flipped. Screamed.
!! cruuuuu!!
Metal crunched.
Tola stormed forward.
Bullets flew. Guards dropped.
He grabbed her and dashed toward the getaway van.
Taye fired from above, covering him.
Suddenly—
Gunshots. Sharp. Trained. Not police.
Special Forces—returning from a mission—heard the blast and were now in pursuit.
Tola fired back, dragging the girl.
The men in the van waved.
Taye shouted: “Drop her! RUN!”
The van peeled off.
Tola screamed: “Wait!”
But they left him.
More sirens.
Police vans. A chopper. Lights flooding the streets.
Tola dropped.
Shot in the leg. Surrounded.
Taye?
He ran. Hid inside a women’s restroom nearby.
Through a cracked window, he watched as officers beat his brother, bleeding and handcuffed.

> One brother behind bars.
The other in hiding.
Used. Betrayed. Hunted.
And the man who sent them into fire… was drinking beer at The Den.
