It’s was another bright morning, cars
could be seen driving to and fro the great
city of Lagos going to their various
business, those hawking were already with
their wares ready to sell
The twins were also on the road heading to
the island in their car, they had two days left
to live for their mission so they had to get
to Betrice’s apartment on Mr Louis
recommendation
“Bro this is the address, but it confusing”
Donald peep through the wind screen
looking around
“i think we should put a call through to Mr
Louis” just as Drake could bring out his
phone a call came to Donald phone with Mr
Louis appearing on the screen
The exchanged glance before he touch the
answer icon putting it on loudspeaker to the
hearing of his brother
“Hello” Donald began.
“Wait there, a car is coming to direct you
into the main building” Mr Louis informed
and hang up the call
They heave a sigh and rest their back on the
car seat, an old toyota hilux halt beside
them and beckon on them to follow before
driving off
They two cars drove in to a very big duplex
with a nice exterior design, it’s wasn’t what
they thought but they had to keep that off
their mind and focus on what they went
there to do.
They were ushered in to the apartment’s
sitting room with a very big flat screen TV
on the wall facing where they sat, the guy
who happens to usher them in was there
one who also drove them in so the house
was as desert as grave yard when the guy
left, the quietness was killing the twins that
Drake couldn’t endure anymore .
“I’m running out of patience bro” he said
facing his brother
“Hey guys relax i’m done with what i was
doing” a sweet female voice echo from the
sound system, their attention divert to the
big plasma TV, they stared at the screen
without saying a word, they were amazed
with the beauty they saw smiling at them,
she was walking in what looks like hallway,
just then they heard foot steps descending
the stairs
They both looked up to see the exact lady
they saw on the plasma walking up to them
with the same smile on her face, she stop
and sat down on a single sofa crossing her
leg.
“I’m Betrice but i prefer Betty, you are
welcome to my humble abode” she smiled
widely before she snapped her finger and
the TV display a young lady face smiling
“Get my guest something to drink” she said
and wave her hand and the screen went
blank
“i don’t think that is necessary Betty” Drake
commented glancing at his brother
“Oh c’mmon it is, just relax cutie” she gave
less concern about Drake’s comment, fixing
her gaze on Donald
A lady with apron on her neck walked in
with a tray on her hand rising it a little
above her shoulder, she dropped the tray
containing foreign blue whine with
champagne on a side stool then open the
drinks and pour it on the three classes
before serving them including Betty her
boss, when she was done she took
permission and walk out
“Now can we get to the reason why we are
here?” Donald probed calmly watching her
intensely
She didn’t reply or say a word she only
stood up walk to a door there in the sitting
room, place her thumb on the biometric
scanner and the door open on itself making
the ever curious Drake stood up.
Donald follow suit, immediately the all got
in the door close on itself, Betty was not in
the room filled with different types of
computer gadgets
“Where is she?” Drake whisper to his brother
but got a reply from Betty
“Hey i’m in here” she walk in through
another unseen door which baffled the twins
“You guys should seat there!” she point to
two swivel chair behind the one she wanted
to seat on, the twin before she could
complete her statement there were already
seated
“Now the sad news is that the the the” she
stuttered feigning seriousness with the
keyboard she was punching.
“The what?” Drake nearly scream making
Betty flick on her seat
“Hey calm down, is just that the President’s
daughter is not in this country” she said and
look back at her scream
“Whaaaaaat?” they both scream
She only nodd and face them before she let
out a smile that pissed the twins off but
only the Drake wanted to hit her but was
stopped by Donald
“Now what is the way forward?” Donald
asked calmly staring at her
“You don’t even ask me which country she
is hold hostage and you want to kill me?”
Betty said referring to Drake with sarcasm
