We had meticulously planned every detail, and the operation was primed for execution. Mumsy and her associates were prepared to rendezvous with Chocho and me for the mission.

Over the past weeks, we had been diligently organizing: procuring weapons, conducting reconnaissance, and attending to every necessary task. Now, we were poised to make our move.

Today marked the culmination of our preparations. Mumsy's operatives were stationed at the airport, providing updates to Chocho and me, along with the two additional men she had dispatched to assist us.

However, I was cautious by nature and harbored suspicions about Mumsy's men. Fearing potential betrayal, I took preemptive action upon meeting them, discreetly hacking into their phones to monitor their communications with Mumsy.

Leaving my home, I informed Sally that I was embarking on a business trip to Douala. Despite her apprehension and a troubling nightmare she had experienced the previous night, she pleaded with me to reconsider.

Holding my hands, she offered a heartfelt prayer for my safety. Nonetheless, my commitment to the operation remained unwavering, and I pressed on.

Opting not to use my own car, I arranged to rendezvous with Chocho at Buea Road Park. From there, we boarded a public transport vehicle bound for Douglas.

Upon arrival, I met with Mumsy at a modest bar in Pariso. After receiving the latest briefings, she departed for the airport while we made our way back to Bona ERI.

In Bona ERI, we secured two motorcycles. Chocho and I rode one, while Mumsy's men took the other.

Setting off towards Tiko, we reached a secluded spot by the road, where we lay in wait for further instructions from Mumsy. After an hour of anticipation, my phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the screen, I saw it was Mumsy calling. "Hello, Mumsy," I answered.

"Hello, Carl. Are you guys in position?" she inquired.

"Yes, we're ready. What's the situation?" I asked.

"He's on his way. He's alone with just the driver," she reported.

"Got it. What kind of car are they in?" I queried.

"A blue Lexus Jeep. Tell everyone to be prepared.

I won't contact you again until after the operation. Please, do not fail.

This is crucial for all of us. Take the money and leave.

If he resists, eliminate him. Both of them," she instructed.

"I'll ensure they don't make it out alive," I affirmed. Grab a copy now ! Find out how the operation went and have a good read !.
