Jide cooker stirred in his sleep as his phone beeped a message. In his subconscious, he reached for it and screwed to the inbox folder, but the new message was not clear enough. He heard another beep that jerked him half-awake. He then realized he was dreaming and he hadn't even touched the phone at all. He blindly searched for the phone with his right hand on the small table by his bed, pushing down an uncovered bottle of water. The thud the bottle fell with jolted him to finally open his eyes. Lazily sitting up he saw the mess the water had added to his already messed up motel room and sighed. He quickly said a silent prayer before finally reaching for his phone. He had a mail from Zuri his boss, he was too tired to have logged off his email account last night, he noticed, picking up his laptop so he could access it better. What his eyes saw cleared the slumber left in him. A mug shot of a very pretty girl not more than her mid-twenties stared at him from his laptop. This made him a little bit uncomfortable so much so that he had to check around the room if he was alone. She had beautiful almond shaped eyes, perfectly arched brows, full lips, which were all positioned on an exotic well-carved face. Jide had never come across such facial perfection in a very long while. She wasn't smiling, obviously the photograph must have being taken on one of her serious occassions or so. A cold shiver ran down his spine as he thought about why the photograph was being mailed to him. Ofcourse he knew. The purpose was to be on her trail while waiting for the ultimate instruction to assassinate her. His stomach did an unpleasant somersault at this thought. What could such a perfect innocent face have done to upset Zuri or the syndicate to attract such attention he wondered. Screwing further down to her personal details accompanying the photograph, he got his answer. The details read, 'Kari Salman-Senior special detective SIB.' She must be on something that concerns the syndicate, maybe must be investigation something that could destroy them. What was he to do now, this was his first major assignment since he joined the syndicate two months ago. If he does this, it could mean bringing him closer to know who exactly the mighty Kingpin is, the real boss of the syndicate and he couldn't ruin that chance knowing what was at stake. It could also mean his death if he refuses to do as instructed, Zuri was ruthless, he kills at the slightest mistake. But on the other hand he wasn't a murderer, even though he was, there was no way in the world he would easily put an end to miss 'perfect face's' life just like that. 'Oh God,' he exhaled realizing there was no way out. He'll do it, but in his own way, he finally concluded relief surging through him. But first he needed the mess before him cleared, then he would start tracking the Kari-perfect faced girl, a sacrificial lamb to finally meeting Kingpin, he smiled broadly to himself as he dialed room service. * * * Kari pulled up at the small dimly lit parking space of the 'Sweet Chops' restaurant and turned off the ignition. It was 8:30pm, there was no way she would be able to make dinner for she and her dad after such a tiring day, so she had to get an alter-native. John Malik's case was really taking much of her time. She stepped out of the car with her bag and walked in briskly to the counter to place her orders. "Two plates of jollof rice, with coleslaw and fried fish, take home please," she was sure her dad will be good with that. "Ok ma," the sales girl replied. "And do add a soda and a coke to it." "Here you are ma," the sales girl brought her order after five minutes. "Your bill is three thousand naira" "Ok" she quickly paid and left. "Thank you" she said almost on her way out. With her takeaway bag on one hand and her handbag on the other, she rushed to her car. As she tried to open the door, she felt strong hands grasping her neck from behind. * * * Jide was almost feeling sleepy inside his car parked outside the 'Sweet Chops' building waiting for the lady who just walked in. He had spent the whole afternoon opposite the SIB office keeping watch on her every move. It had been so so boring, but he had no choice. And now he was here waiting for her to get out so he would quietly trail her home and only God knows when she will be out. It isn't that easy to be a bad guy, he thought. She came out sooner than he had expected and was heading to her car. From where' he was parked, he couldn't see her perfect face clearly, but her graceful movement told him she also had a perfect physic.
