Tarasha

and he increased the car"s speed immediately,

but unfortunately for them another jeep was

driving slowly before them, navigating in

preparation to take the u-turn centimetres away

from them. Benny leveled up and had the chance

to shoot again. He sent a bullet into the first

girl"s arm and was about to deliver a bullet to

the second girl when the car behind hit his car

violently, that made the bullet fly in a different

direction as his car swerved, narrowly missing a

speeding motorcycle.

His target car had used the opportunity to speed

off immediately. He thought of pursuing after

them but changed his mind on hearing the sound

of the police siren. He increased his speed

drastically, taking the U-turn to the return lane,

he headed for the hotel, causing commotion on

the road as he drove crazily, the police were on

his trail but far behind.

He reduced his crazy speed to the barest

minimum before he drove in through hotel gate,

he parked quickly at the garage and proceeded

into the building with his bag. He paused at the

entrance to make himself calm, he didn"t want to

attract attention to himself by rushing inside. He

smiled sheepishly in response to the

receptionist"s greeting as he entered and headed

for the elevator afterwards.

Luckily for him, he was the only one using the

elevator then so he wouldn"t have to silence

anybody. He punched in the commands for the

elevator to take him to the third floor. He

searched round the elevator and found a camera

which he destroyed with a bullet immediately. He

didn"t get out at the third floor but punched in

another command to take him to the tenth floor.

He pulled off his bag, brought out a white beard

and stuck it to his chin after removing the black

one there before, he rubbed a white liquid on his

hair that turned it grey immediately. Using a

hand towel from the bag to clean off the powder

on his face that made him lighter than he was,

he sprinkled a liquid on his face that made it

rougher. He then brought out a folded walking

stick and a rumpled long jacket from the bag

which he wore immediately; he finished just at

the same time the elevator stopped.

A couple and two young girls stepped into it,

greeting the bent old man with the walking stick

as the man smiled at them and walked to his

room slowly, supporting himself with the stick.

A group of ten policemen rushed into the hotel

building, holding their guns in readiness for any

attack. About other ten officers were also

outside in the compound, watching for signs of

the criminal. The policemen had already

ransacked the red Benz drove into the

compound by Benny, leaving the doors widely

opened.

Officer Dakolo walked to the receptionists" stand

and displayed his ID card. "A criminal just walked

into your hotel, lock all your exits immediately"

He said in a command tone.

One of the receptionists in response dialed a

number on the landline and conveyed the

message to the control room. Every movement in

the hotel was stopped; those who were heading

outside had to wait at the reception.

"We heard a gunshot some minutes ago and we

don"t know where it came from, what"s the

matter?" a man who was the manager of the

hotel asked, looking alarmed as he approached

them from the stairs.

"They are looking for a man who just walked in

now, he parked a red Benz outside and he was

wearing a green shirt on blue jean, he had a

black bag strapped to his back" a security man

described.

"I saw him, he went up now" the receptionist who

greeted Benny spoke, she moved back and

pressed some b.u.t.tons on the computer

keyboard. "Room 49, floor 3" she announced to

the waiting ears of the officers.

"Hey! Come with me" he commanded, pointing to

four other officers, he turned to his a.s.sistant and

gave an order. "No one should go out from here"

He surged up through the stairs with the four

other officers to the third floor, they headed for

room 49 hurriedly, positioning themselves

strategically as they got to the door.

Dakolo landed a heavy kick on the door and it

gave way, he poured in rains of bullets into the

room but there was no response. He moved in

tactically with two guys carefully following him

searching everywhere in the room. Dakolo was

the first to notice behind the curtains that the

window was widely opened with the gla.s.s

shattered carelessly on the floor, there was a

rope tied to the bed and it pa.s.sed through the

window to the backyard of the hotel.

"The criminal is outside the hotel building,

everybody must be on guard" Dakolo spoke into

the walkie talkie as he rushed out of the room

with his men

___

Old man Benny heard the several gunshots but

he didn"t panic, the plan of the operation already

provided for their intrusion. Tarasha already

taught him several tactics to use incase they did

show up and he was carry out one successfully.

He smiled at the old man facing him in the mirror

as he added other things to his face to complete

his disguise. He commended himself for a very

good job, feeling proud as he heard the shouts

and screams from the policemen looking for him

in and outside the hotel building. Greatly

surprised at the development of his new skills,

he praised Tarasha in his heart for teaching them

some very dangerous new techniques.

His smile changed into a frown when he

remembered something, he picked out his phone

and dialed Tarasha"s number to inform her of

something very important. He gave up after the

call was unanswered so many times.

His happiness gradually turned to fear, not fear

of the police but a fear of failure at his

operation. He wasn"t sure if he had shot the

right girl in the car. His research before the

operation didn"t reveal to him that the girl had a

twin and a very identical one at that.
