episode 56
Slimmy suddenly pulled over few metres close to the supposed place. The car coming behind them pulled over too. He brought out his revolver and started to put in bullets.
“This is number 39, the house is supposed to be 57.” Oj said to him.
“I know, you all should take out your guns and prepare to defend any attack.”
“But why? Why don’t we go closer a little bit?” Oj questioned, nevertheless bringing out the gun at Slimmy’s order. He hated the way Slimmy acted like the boss in charge of the rescue operation, forgetting that there were supposed to be two masters in it. He believed that Slimmy should have asked him before taking the decision to pull over at a far distance to the place, contrary to their initial plan.
For Slimmy, he was only being cautious. He had been in the Arch Angels with Kong and even presided over the betrayal as his capon for few weeks, so he knew an Arch Angel’s strategy when he sees one. He needed no one to tell him where Kong and his men were again when he saw some boys walking out from a compound straight to an opposite store and taking side glances at their direction. He knew Kong had gotten news and was expecting them, he knew they were being waited for at the gate of the house. But he couldn’t mention what he saw to Oj or tell him about the tactics Kong had put to play, it would mean revealing a secret to one’s potential future enemy.
“We can’t go closer anymore, they’ve seen us and they are waiting for us at the entrance already.” Slimmy explained then he opened the door, he placed a leg outside the car first before turning back to take a cap. He fixed it on his head and turned to Oj whose eyes were squinted, staring at the front to see what Slimmy had seen which made him state that they had been seen.
“I can’t see anyone,” Oj retorted.
Slimmy chuckled, he didn’t know how to tell Oj that the Arch Angels never called a number as it was, they always added ten to it if was in tens and one hundred to it if the number was in hundreds. For example, if an Arch Angel member was to call No. 70 for another member, he called it 80 and if he was to call 450, he called it 550. So when Kong had called No. 57 to the mole, he must have meant 47.
“You no see those guys wey carry drink dance waka for there now?” Slimmy asked, pointing some metres before them.
“Those two drunk guys wey waka pass, throw bottle for ground?” Oj questioned.
“Yes,” Slimmy affirmed.
“So them no be street guys?” Oj asked, kind of rhetorically because he didn’t wait for a reply before opening the door to his side also.
“You stay with here with the doors opened while I go a little bit forward with some of the boys,” Slimmy said to Oj, stopping him from stepping outside. “I’ll signal to you either to come forward or to retreat and if you get any signal from Rough and Small, you’ll have to make signals to me, you can push the horn.”
Oj stopped and looked around their environment first, their car was parked in a space in front of a government secondary school gate, an open football field was beside the school while opposite it was a nylon company with a huge gate and very long walls.
“No,” Oj refused, “I’ll go while you stay behind and wait for the signal from Rough and Small.”
Slimmy stared silently, surprised at the manner at which Oj refused, he thought they were supposed to be thinking like a team. “Okay, you can go. I’ll push the horn once if I want you to retreat and I’ll push it twice if I get signals from Rough before coming to join you.” Slimmy finally agreed and placed back his leg into the car while Oj stepped out after signaling to one of the Tigers who was in the car with them.

“Rough, can you see anything yet?” Small asked in low tones, joining Rough where she was seated on a long wooden bench, her head and part of her face covered with a cap. It was in front of a small kiosk where soft drinks and snacks were sold. Rough had to buy a bottle of Coke and use the opportunity to sit on front of the kiosk.
Rough turned back quickly to look at him and make sure that he wasn’t going to spoil their plans. She turned back after being satisfied that he was dressed in a way no one could identify him if he was spotted from afar.
“Yes, I’ve seen my capon’s car and some boys coming out of the house.” She replied him in low tones too, careful not to allow the woman inside the kiosk hear the conversation.
“Some boys, out of which house? Isn’t this house 57?” Small asked turning to point to a large bungalow not too far behind. He had been surprised when part of the plan was wait somewhere after driving past 57 and not to wait before 57. He and his boss had initially argued but Slimmy had convinced them, saying they needed to stay in between or the after the house. Both of them reluctantly agreed not knowing that the Arch Angels had it in mind that Kong could have been speaking to the mole in the Arch Angels’ top secret language.
Rough gulped down some liquid from the bottle of Coke and passed the remaining to Small, wanting to distract him a little while she thought of how to explain to him that she wasn’t monitoring house 57 but 47.
‘Which time did you see the boys, I didn’t see any?” Small asked again, after swallowing some liquid from the bottle of Coke.
“I think I made an error while listening to the guy, he must have mentioned 47 not 57.” Rough replied.
“Okay,” Small took a pause to look in direction of house 47, then he saw two boys hiding behind a wall opposite the house, taking out some weapons from the floor. He also saw someone occasionally opening the gate and peeping outside, then he agreed that it must have really been 47 and not 57.
“That’s Oj coming,” Rough stated as she spotted Oj.
“My boss,” Small corrected. “Baba.”
“Okay that’s Baba coming,” Rough applied the correction. “Let’s go get the boys while I alert capon that we are ready. Remember the plan is that while they focus on My Capon and your Baba who’s attacking them from the front, we’ll take them unaware from behind.”
Rough quickly ran to the back of the kiosk and went to where to the rest of the team she is leading was.
“Guys are we ready to rumble” Rofiat asked as she walked into their midst, they all brought out their guns and started loading it while Rofiat brought out his phone and dialled Slimmy’s number.
“Hello Capon, back up is ready when needed” Rofiat said.
“Cool, just be on standby, remember the signal I will give when you are needed” Slimmy replied
“Yes bossman” Rofiat terminated the call and began loading her gun too.

“What the F is happening out there” Kong asked the guys forming drunk as he opened the gate a little.
“Baba their car just park for that place, e be like say one of dem don drop sef, na only one dey inside car” one of them replied.
“Ohhhh Slimmy, you want to play chess now right, cool let’s game” Kong walked away from the gate and faced his boys “You, you and You, go and join those two guys outside and attack them head on” Kong ordered and walked back to the gate “Guys are you loaded” He asked the two guys sitting outside the gate.
“Loaded to the brim baba” They both chorused.
“Good, three guys are going to join you outside now, just take them on, shoot any object in sight” Kong ordered as the three guys charged outside covering for the two guys sitting to stand up and getting into position. Immediately the two guys stood up, they ran to the other side of the road hiding behind the store opposite the house.
Slimmy who had been patiently observing saw the movement of the guys but still decided to not send the signal to Oj because he knew Kong was setting a counter trap for them, he had really underrated Kong’s tactical skills, he used to think Nazaretha was a better tactician but Kong has just proved that he supercedes Nazaretha.
“Kong are these your Pawns, how about you send me some Knights or Rooks” Slimmy said to himself jokingly as he held a pistol to his right hand which is his stronger arm and holding the car’s steering with his left.
“Come to daddy” Slimmy said as he saw one of the boys approaching him with a gun in his hand “A little bit further boy, come boy” Slimmy said as he stepped on the accelerator and the car charged forward towards the guy approaching, the guy started shooting at Slimmy’s car but before couldn’t aim well at Slimmy who drove very fast and hit him to the ground with the car, immediately the guy fell to the ground, the other four guys rushed out and started shooting at Slimmy “Now the game is on boys” Slimmy said to himself as he made a 360 you turn with his car and drove towards the place he was before, the guys kept on following Slimmy who drove slow in order to make sure that the guys keeps on following, as soon as he got closer to where Oj and the boys were, He honked twice and Oj alongside four boys stepped out from a corner and started shooting at the four boys following Slimmy’s car. The four guys wanted to retreat but it was too late as Oj and the guys had laid a perfect ambush for them, within split seconds four of them were down but they didn’t go down without taking two of Oj’s boys along leaving him with two boys. Slimmy was about to drop from the car when he saw Oj and the guys Charging towards Kong’s house.
“Sh!t” Slimmy cussed angrily seeing that Oj had gone against the plan, he stepped on the accelerator again and made for the next street. He decided to take the next street in order to alert Rofiat and her team of the new development, he got to where they were in to time and ordered them to enter into the car. They all did and Slimmy drove to Kong’s place taking the opposite direction. As soon as he got close to the house, he saw Kong’s boys outside exchanging fire with Oj and the team. They all got down and attacked from the rear while Oj and two other guys who were the only ones left in Oj’s team attacked from the front, some of Kong’s boys retreated back into the building while the rest fell down to the bullets.
Kong was infuriated as he saw that the odds were now against them, he thought of a new plan to use in check mating them, he rushed inside the house brought out and brought Halimat while the guy they left inside brought out Hadijat. They loosed the ropes in their hands as Kong contemplate on which one of them he should use as a distraction, If he uses Hadijat, Slimmy and Rofiat will be distracted and that’s not favourable enough because they are on the same side of the road, he needed to distract one person each at the oppositse sides of the gate, he then decided to use Halimat who will successfully distract Oj and Rough.
“Checkmate time” he said to himself and started laughing as he dragged Halimat to the gate, when he got to the gate, he ordered two boys to join him at the gate “As soon as I open this gate, shoot anything you see” He ordered.
“Hey cutie, want to survive? Then run outside at the count of five” Kong said, Halimat was looking at Hadijat as they were both crying profusely.
“1, 2, 3, 4 ” Kong counted and opened the gate at the count of five, Halimat stormed out while Kong and the two guys be instructed shot randomly at Oj’s team, the other two guys dropped dead immediately leaving only Oj only.
“Sh!t” Slimmy and Oj cussed simultaneously, Slimmy instructed Rough to escort Halimat to the car, she quickly did.
“Just stay down like that, do not raise your head no matter what happens, I repeat do not raise your head” Rofiat ordered and was returning back to the front Oj’s compound when She started hearing noise of Power bikes, Before she could turn around, the bikers were already close by, five bikers all together, the guys that were ambushed police at Rushi, they had conquered the police in the gun battle. As soon as Rofiat saw them, she started shooting randomly at them and two of them got hit by her bullet, she continued shooting randomly but was hit by a bullet from one of the bike men, Rofiat went down has the bullet hit her.
Everything happened so fast, Slimmy saw Rofiat dropped and his rage multiplied, he charged towards the bike men shooting vigorously and screaming Rough’s name, the rest of the guys charged towards the bike men with him. Kong peeped from the gate and saw that it was his boys attacking, he also ordered the rest of his boys to charged towards Slimmy and Oj’s boys too leaving only him and Hadijat in the compound.
