“I’m sorry, who am I speaking to?”
“I am lieutenant Ruji, and I am taking this operation in my own hands.”
The captain was flustered, he heard of the legendary lieutenant that is relentless and voracious, What is more honorable than serving him right now? Captain Rhodie, 32, is having the greatest moment of his life. He never felt more passionate in any mission he had undergone. With overflowing confidence he replied,
“Roger, we are on the move.” He switched over the radio.
“Alright, we are to engage the target. Team A you are up. Follow me.”
The alley was to their advantage. The only way out is the way in. There is no need to take consideration of a possible escape route except the top of the roof, and that is only if the target can somehow manage to climb to the roof with just their hands. And of course, there is already a team set up on top of the roof just in case shit goes 360.
“Keep moving” Captain Rhodie who was leading team A signaled his hand forward, “eyes wide open.”
There are 4 in total that are about to engage, excluding Team B (on the roof) and 4 sergeants that are waiting across the street and another team ready to be deployed from the closest checkpoint.
“Alright, you two follow.” The captain pointed at the alley, signaling to the two men behind him as the two remaining guarded the entrance. Both nodded and began to jog to the dark alley. Once they arrived the four remaining men slowly entered as well. The wind whirling was loud, the ground was uneven and the walls were tall as if they are caged inside. It was dead silent.
“This is not good … It has to be a trap.” Lady Barbara yelped with disquiet. “He must have known he was being followed and led us to the alley.”
“So? We are not gonna sit and wait for the whole day. Lady Barbara I suggest you lay back and calm yourself. The lieutenant stood straight and laid both his hands behind his back embracing what is yet to commence.
“There is nothing yet sir. Do we keep moving forward?” Rhodie who was unease approaching the alley kept his breathing rhythm in sync to his movements to keep his composure and concentration.
Ruji glared towards the big screen. “Give me eyes on the front man.”
One of the tech officers in the operational room turned his eyes for a second to the lieutenant,
“I’m directing him into the big screen, sir, in 3 …. 2…. 1….”
*Bleep*
The main screen in the room changed.
There is a camera hidden in all of the sergeants; giving vision to HQO. It is located in between the lumps of the neck and the coral bone above the chest.
The sergeant in charge of Team B was inspecting from above, but all he can dictate was dark blurry shaders. He grabbed a cig with his eyes still, lighting it up, “What do you see, over”.
“Nothing yet.” Captain Rhodie replied as he switched his radio.
Suddenly the first sergeant leading the assault held his hand up high.
“I got vision…there’s a man.”
Lieutenant Ruji stood up, his eyes were ablaze, so glamorous that it pulled everyone’s attention. You can tell that the man is filled with everlasting zeal. Delirium filled his blood and a vast extensive aura was released throughout his body. The man is now the center of attention. Like living in a fool’s paradise, he cracked a fat smile,
“Take him. “
The soft but heavy command digested the room. The sergeants in the frontline charged in one motion. As the dark silhouette was slowly revealed, the captain clenched his fist and yield,
“Stop !”
The sergeants stopped. The closest distanced sergeant to the target turned his head around for one second and held his position to a standing upright pose, but still fully focused on the man in front of him. The posture of the captain coincided with his fiery eyes focused solely on the mysterious man caused all sergeants to tense up even more.. Just then,
The face of the young man was revealed. The man was taller and had a different style of hair, a more broad cut and longer - Skin was a bit tanner, and a pimple on the left cheek.
The captain whispered to his mic while lowering down his chin. “That is not the target. I repeat, the man in front is not muze-dominic ward.” The captain took a few steps forward, after he passes three other sergeants, he calmly spoke ,
“My name is Rhodie. I am the captain of police force division and who am I speaking to? “
Enemsi smiled and proceeded to stretch his shoulders and arms. “Nice to meet you Rhodie. This place is off-limits. I suggest you clowns to get out of here right now. I need a piece of mind, something odd happened to me today.”
The captain, refusing to back down, replied, “Do you know anyone with the name Muze Dominic Ward?”
Enemsi expression changed. “Hmm, does not sound familiar. Anyways, what do you need him for?”
The captain stepped forward, closer to the target compared to the first sergeant and raised his right arm “This is an inclusive investigation. Let me ask again, do you know a man named Muze Dominic Ward” the captain slowly lowered his right arm which indicated the sergeants to prepare for a battle.”
"... Hmm yea I think I might have seen his name in cornhub.com. Oh is that .."
Enemsi began to move his eyes in a fast sequenced motion as if he was reading a tech monitored conscription. He then pointed his pointy finger to the entrance of the alley. Some sergeants turned their heads and while they were distracted by his hand movement, enemsi took flight.
“You are bluf ..” as he turned his head back, two sergeants on his team were lying face first, on the ground. Rhodie’s eyes jolted. "wha .."
“Take him down captain,”
Suddenly a resounding voice over the radio brought his sense back, It was the lieutenant's voice.
“Fire!” The captain commanded.
Enemsi’s heart began to race,
‘It has truly been awhile since I last fought. A wide grin was plastered across his face as he proceeded without hesitation. The sergeant that stood beside the unconscious body was breathing heavily as he fired the man who was closing in on him.
SNAP, the bullet whizzed a few inches off.
“What are you doing? Get him!” The captain hurled.
Enemsi without slowing his speed grabbed the panicked sergeant by the neck, put his hand on his face and slam it to the ground. The officer snarled. A consecutive low sweeped the next two bodies in air, and a spin kick was thrown to the guy on the right. It was so fast that the other guy, still in mid air was followed by a mid kick to the chest. The fight happened in a flash. Next thing they know 4 officers were down, leaving the captain shaken on his knees. Enemsi strolled to the captain, and glared at him giving a massive chill down his spine.
“How did you ... “
“Dodge all the bullets?” I don’t know you guys kinda suck.” Enemsi smiled wickedly.
“Team B ! You are permitted to open fire! “
….
“Team B! I repeat you are..”
“Is there a problem?” Enemsi grinned widely. The evil crooked put the captain into disbelief.
‘There is no way.. ‘
Captain Rhodie put his hand up, knees on the floor, dropping his gun.
Enemsi moved his head close to Rhodie's ear, and took a deep breathe
“Now i’m the one asking questions. Why are ..”
In a split second, the captain threw a hail mary punch, hoping to catch Enemsii off guard. Enemsi ducked down with his back almost touching the ground and proceeded into a soft punch towards the right side of the cheek. The punch was strong enough to send him across the whole alley, unconscious.
As Enemsi picked up the gun, Enemsi spotted two movements coming in the alley.
‘Yes, give me more.’ Enemsi began to feel more excitement.
He leaped forward to the two new presence, bringing the battle to them. The two spotted the engaging man and quickly took aim, however they were not fast enough - not even the slightest. A quick one-two hook that ended both bodies on the ground. Enemsi then looked up and turned his head back to the deep dark alley and nodded as he quickly jumped and zig zag his way to the rooftop.
'Alright the roof should be clear.' He reached the rooftop and ran away from the scene. 'Fucking hell, involving the MTF (millitary task force). This Muze guy .. ' as Enemsi sighed bitterly.
Suddenly, a red dot appeared on his back. A sniper was still in position, hidden between blogs, he put out his cigarette and finalize his aim. The image of Captain Rhodie shaking his hands and awarding him for his brilliant achievement in taking the target down gave him some hype. Adrenaline gushed onto his head, but his heart still as calm as a millpond, “Good night kiddo.”
And in that half a second Enemsi turned his gaze towards the sniper and pointed his open palm back in reply. His eyes like a His aura flocked over the sky. At this split of exchange, the sniper could clearly see that the target was smiling as if he knew he was there all along. The malicious grimace invaded his head, causing him to panic and as the leer of those eyes quenched his heart, terror thundered down on his spine.
‘Why is he smiling ..’
Before he could utter any further words, his vision turned pitch black. He let go his gun and began walking towards the edge of the roof - he had no control of his body.
*Step* *Step*
The chilling wind increased his pace.
*step* *step* *step*
As soon as he stood at the edge of the roof, he raised both arms and fell.
*Bam*
*Meanwhile in the operation room *
The room was antarctica. The lieutenant had his knees buckled beneath them. He clenched his teeth and gulped as if one was hit with a resounding failure of a leader, where confidence was plummeted. His eyes felt with nothing but anger, he sat back down and muttered to himself,
“That man is an xceed.”
Although air seems to circulate back in the room. the sullen, ominous and contemplating silence engulfed the room like a miner whose house had fallen. There was nothing but astonishment and disbelief followed with stiffling confusions towards the man who just escaped - the scene where the sniper jumped off the cliff were still playing in some people's head. What caused the sniper to jumped off? Was it out of fear? Out of shocked? Or maybe the sniper’s head was not in the game. Maybe he was dealing with something else outside work? What happened out there? Why did he kill himself?
And the silence rendered down in existence as Lady barbara clamored, hoping to pour back everyone's senses.
“De .. Deploy back up, don't let him get away!”
"No .... we won't be able to catch him, not like this." As the lieutenant stood up and put his cap against his chest,
"Call Lady Moore. I need a word with her."
…..
40 minutes later ...
Rhodie tried to move his head, but his body, still shaken, felt so heavy as if the sky had fallen on his shoulders. His expression confirms his fear, he looked as defeated as a bronze medalist. He gazed at the sky hoping to get some answers. All he could hear were the birds swarming in the starry skies below the stale soothing sunset that gave him a sense of comfort, however, his body intact with the ground was dead cold.
