Dirty Diamonds Of Boko Haram Part 1 (21 page)

Alex stopped just outside the doorway and got
out his pistol, took aim at stone and fired a single shot.

The metal bullet smashed into the solid
granite stone with a tiny spark that instant blossomed into blue
flames. The fire instantly spread to consume the two bodies and the
entire room itself.

Alex pulled the metal door half closed to
give the inferno maximum effect then headed back out into the
compound.

Alex went straight over to the rotting corpse
of the priest, emptied the last of the fuel over it and tossed the
gallon aside. In a minute, he had the decaying corpse burning
furiously too. Standing back, he made the sign of the cross over
himself before turning away. He had fulfilled his promise and done
the best he could. He had given them what was considered a king’s
burial in many European lands only he’d done it with fuel instead
of well-arranged firewood.

Crossing the compound quickly back to the
Pickup Jeep, he got the GX-2 phone out of his pocket and switched
it on.

The black Toyota Helix Pickup Jeep was fairly
new and its windows were black, impossible to see through. From the
partly erased marking on its body, it had obviously been stolen
from a police station down in Adamawa state. Alex got in behind the
wheels and keyed up the GX-2 quickly. There was boosted network
service but he couldn’t find any traces of the tracker.

He placed a call in to tactical center at
Military Intelligence Headquarters, gave his operational code to
the agent who answered and in a second Colonel Iyang came on
line.

“We’ve been trying to reach you for the past
ten minutes, lieutenant” said the Colonel immediately. “What the
hell is going on down there?”

“The exchange was a set up. We got ambushed
and all the people with me were killed. The terrorists now have
both the money and the girl”

“What shape are you in?” asked the colonel at
once.

“I’m one hundred percent and good to go, El
Soldat is not getting away with this one. Requesting tracker
coordinates, I don’t seem to be getting any signals from it
directly”

“The signal of that tracker separated from
yours precisely twenty-eight minutes ago. It headed due south and
east most of that time but went dark seven minutes ago. We got
confirmation from our inside men that the briefcase blew up right
at the same time the tracer’s signal went dark”

Alex sat bolt upright. “El Soldat and the
girl were in the same vehicle with the briefcase. Are they
dead?”

“Negative. Neither of them were anywhere
nearby when the explosion occurred. You will have to go in and get
him”

“Give me the last known co-ordinates for the
tracker”

“It should be up on your screen by now, same
as the contact mobile number of our inside man. His code name is
‘Charlie-boy’ but he is too low in the chain of command to render
any sort of major assistance. I’m afraid you are completely on your
own, lieutenant, and for all it’s worth, good luck,”

“Thank you, sir”

The line went dead.

Alex checked the phone and saw all the
information at once. He keyed the coordinates into the phone’s GPS
and punched in a few more commands. The GPS instantly indicated a
position south east of his and laid out the route the tracker had
followed there. As he expected, the settlement or whatever it was
right in Sambisa forest, the whole Boko Haram terrorist army in
West Africa.

Alex checked the time on the phone,
cross-referenced it with that of his digital wristwatch and saw
that they were a match. It was just 8.15 a.m. He put the phone back
in his pocket and stated up the Helix Pickup Jeep, the keys were
already in the ignition. He turned on the air conditioning, saw
that it worked fairly well and activated all the dark windows to
roll up closed.

Alex checked the fuel gauge and saw it was
over half full. He gunned the powerful engine and it let out a deep
roar as the big Pickup Jeep shot forward like an angry bull, tires
spinning up dust and sand like crazy as it made a tight U-turn and
charged for the gates at speed.

The big Pickup Jeep tore through the open
gates and swung sharply left as it hit the flat terrain of the
Maiduguri-Bama road. It accelerated rapidly to top speed as it went
racing south on the road like a bat out hell on important
business.

Very important business.

generosity, deceit, hatred and wickedness, violence and blackmail,
heatless betrayals and terrible vengeance, poverty and wealth,

many circles. Described as a ‘wow’ by a bestselling South African
author among many, there is a wonderful mix of everything which
makes this story very enjoyable and educative to everyone.

A must read for every couple or marriageable

BOOK REVIEW

* Ruthless Betrayals!!! One of the most
classic works ever written and read in the history of mankind!
Shakespeare, Chinua Achebe, Prof. Wole Soyinka and all the other
professionals in the game of literature would be jealous
considering the rich depth and wealth of knowledge embedded in this
write-up.

Spanning across humanity and paranormal
activities in the world, the activities of a man who witnessed the
pattern of life. Caught between the web of love, betrayal,
heartbreak, debt, supernatural activities and finding the right
partner in life’s journey.

I must say that without tasting a soup, you
can never know its taste, such is this book. It contains deep
meanings to life’s activities. YOU CAN NEVER REGRET BUYING IT.
