Chapter 70: Dead
Tiger was sitting on a chair with his men standing behind him.
He took out a sim card from his phone and broke it into two.
“Give me the new sim.” He stretched his hand to one of his men who handed him a new sim card.
Tiger inserted the sim card into his phone and he switched it on. He waited for the phone to boot before placing a call across to his client, Marco.
“Did you do what I instructed you to do?” Marco asked immediately he picked the call.
“Yeah, Alfred should be on his way here very soon.” Tiger replied.
“Good. Now follow the next instruction I gave you and you can also wait for the big surprise.” Marco said.
“Alright.” Tiger nodded like Marco could see him.
“A sum of fifteen million dollars will be wired into your account after I end the call. That’s for the extra work you did.” Marco said, and Tiger grinned widely like a fool.
“Pleasure doing business with you, Mr Marco.” Tiger replied, and Marco disconnected the call.
Tiger’s phone beeped some seconds later and he saw a credit alert from Marco.
His grin widened and he tucked the phone into his pocket.
“Let’s go check on our girl.” Tiger stood, and the others followed suit, they all left the room through the left door which led to a thin corridor.
It was lined with a number of rooms, and one of his men opened the door to the sixth one.
Theresa is in the room, tied up to a plank, her body was dangling down, and her hair covered half of her face, but immediately they entered, she threw her head back, so some of it left her face.
She’s not looking scared, rather she’s looking at them like minors, flies.
“You sure have some balls, I expected you to be caterwauling and releasing hot waterworks right now” Tiger said, and Theresa chortled boldly.
“I’m waiting for the right time to strike, y’all should wait” she said and spat.
The spit disseminated on their faces.
“B*tch!, How dare you!” One of Tiger’s men made to hit a metal on her legs, but Tiger stopped him.
After wiping the spit, he walked to her.
“Your sweet boyfriend is on his way here, and when he gets here, he’s gonna meet the biggest surprise of his life.” He said with a wide grin.
“What surprise?” Theresa asked.
“I can’t tell you because it’s a surprise.” Tiger replied, his grin widening.
“Boss, everything is set.” One of Tiger’s men said from behind.
“Untie her and take her to the van.” Tiger ordered.
Theresa was untied and two men dragged her out of the room. Tiger followed them from behind as they all walked outside the building.
“Let go of me! I can walk by myself!!” Theresa yelled at the men who were dragging her towards a van.
The man gave deaf ears to her screams and they continued dragging her till they got to the van.
She was pushed inside the van and Tiger sat beside her.
The rest of his men got inside the remaining vans and they drove into the bushy area.
They parked the vans in the bush which was some metres away from the building.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Theresa wondered why they parked in the bush.
“Is he planning to ambush Freddy?, Or is he planning to give Freddy a surprise attack?” She thought to herself as she glared at Tiger who had his usual grin on his face.
Tiger brought out a laptop and he switched it on. The inner views of the building displayed on the screen.
Theresa could also see it because she was sitting beside him.
“Are there CCTV camers in that building?” Theresa asked, her gaze on the laptop
“Yeah.” Tiger replied without looking at her.
“Why?” Theresa inquired, and Tiger turned his neck sideways to look at her.
“Because I want you to see the surprise gift we have for your boyfriend.” He replied. “Trust me, you’re gonna love it.” He added with a wide grin plastered on his face.
********
Seven black SUVs drove into the place and pulled up some metres away from the building.
Dozens of hefty men alighted from the car and two men rushed to open the door for Alfred.
Alfred came down from the vehicle and he adjusted his black tailored suit.
The golden eagle pendant he wore around his neck shone brightly under the sun. His curly black hair was also styled backwards.
He stared at the building in front of him with a smirk on his face.
His men stood behind him with heavily loaded guns in their hands.
A black Jeep containing Douglas, Shikita and Jeff also drove speedily into the place, and pulled up in front of the building.
They all alighted from the Jeep and walked to meet Alfred.
“Yo man! What’s our mission here?” Douglas asked as he stood beside Alfred.
“Theresa is being held captive in this building.” Alfred pointed at rhe building in front of them.
“Held captive by who?” Douglas raised a questioning brow at Alfred.
“Tiger.” Alfred replied.
“Tiger?, has he gone nuts?”
“I think someone paid him to do it.” Alfred said.
“Let’s go get that son of a bitch.” Douglas said, bringing out his gun from under his suit.
“No, am the only one going inside that building.” Alfred replied.
“What do you mean by you’re the only one going inside that building?, do you wanna get yourself killed?” Douglas asked, raising a questioning brow at him.
“I want the rest of you to stay outside and watch out for any sign of danger.” Alfred replied.
“But…”
“It’s an order Douglas and not a request.” Alfred cut him off before he could argue further.
Douglas let out a dejected sigh.
“Fine.”
“And one more thing.” Alfred said.
“Yes?” Douglas urged him to continue.
“None of you should come inside the building even if you hear gunshots.”
“Alright, but if you get killed, I’ll fucking kill you.” He said with a playful glare.
Alfred chuckled lightly and he cocked his gun, then he began walking towards the building.
“Stay alert everyone.” Douglas said, and they all cocked their guns.

“Finally, your sweet boyfriend has arrived.” Tiger said and Theresa moved her gaze to the laptop in front of him. She saw Alfred walking inside a building.
“It’s just a matter of minutes before he gets our surprise gift.” Tiger said, glancing at his gold wristwatch with an evil smirk on his face.
Theresa became worried. She had no idea of the surprise Tiger was talking about but she knew it was something bad. Very bad.
********”
Alfred cautiously walked inside the building with his finger on his gun’s trigger.
He continued walking through the thin corridor which was lined with eight rooms in total.
He started checking each of the rooms but he found nothing until he got to the sixth room.
He kicked the door open and raised his gun to shoot whoever was in the room.
He slowly lowered his gun when he saw no sign of danger in the spacious room.
His eyes caught a lady tied to a chair in the center of the room. He couldn’t see the lady’s face because her back was on him.
“Theresa?” He called but got no response.
“Theresa is that you?” He asked but got no response again.
He tucked his gun in his hind pocket, then he started walking towards the lady.
He finally got to her and he walked over to stand in her front.
He furrowed his brows when he saw that the lady wasn’t Theresa but the corpse of another lady.
A note was plastered on her chest and he picked it to read it.
*SURPRISE ALFRED GILBERTO* Alfred had a confused look on his face after reading the note.
He glanced at the corpse’s body and his eyes went wide in shock when he saw a time bomb strapped on her belly.
But it was already late.
The bomb counted down to zero and it went off before Alfred could even make a move.
“BOOM!!!!”
The whole building exploded instantly.
