Jeffery was in a plane going to Abuja where the chairman's coordinate leads. Even though he thought it might be a trap for him, he still decided to go. He was ready to sacrifice anything to save his late friend's daughter out of the of the tiger's den. His thought flashed back to three months ago while everything was going well with them. Then life was sweeter than honey, they had all they ever desired. The chairman had always treated them well, he sang their praises
Every day and drop millions into their bank account. None of the two would have thought things would turn out this way. They were aware of the Chairman's dark heart but they never thought he would kill any of them for the sake of his consignment, despite all they had done for him.
Jeffery swore to make the chairman pay for what he did but first Roseline must be rescued. While thinking on these, Jeffery drifted into slumber.
The plane touched down at exactly fifteen minute past one, Jeffery quickly alighted from the plane and walked out of the airport to take a taxi. The taxi stopped in front of a shop and Jeffery came down after paying the driver. He went into the shop and came out minutes later holding a brown parcel. He boarded another taxi to take him to the rendezvous point where the coordinate finally led.
Jeffery got down in front of an abandon factory where the meeting was scheduled to take place. He checked his wristwatch, and he was ten minutes late. He surveyed the area with his eyes and saw no one around, so he went in with all the courage he could gather.
Inside the old factory, he stood alone until someone came out to meet him.
'Hello Jeff, it’s nice to see you again' the man greeted.
'I wish I could say the same Jack, where is the girl?' Jeff asked.
'Where are the diamonds?' Jack asked.
'Show me the girl and I will show you the diamonds'
'Don't play games with me Jeff, you know I don't like games'
'I don't think you are ready to trade, maybe we will do this some other time'
Jeff turned his back and started going to the exit.
'You really want to see her? Come have a look' Jack said.
'Where is she?' Jeff asked again after he walked.
'Give me a few seconds' Jack brought out his mobile phone, switched it on and handed it over to Jeff.
He took the phone from Jack and checked it out. On the screen was Roseline shedding tears.
'Uncle Jeff, please come take me out of here' she cried.
'Don't worry my Rose, we will soon be together, I promised' Jeff said.
Suddenly the image of the chairman appeared beside Rose's.
The Chairman made a small cut on her face with his pocket knife.
'If I don't get my diamond in the next four hours, I will cut each of her fingers every hour after then' the chairman promised.
Jeffery couldn't hold back tears when he saw blood dripping down from the little girl's cheek until the screen went blank.
'You have seen the girl now where is my diamond?' Jack asked.
Jeff brought out the parcel out of the breast pocket of his jacket and handed it over to him.
'Ok good, you will get the girl when i get the diamonds to Chairman safely, now go home' Jack said after confirming the content of the parcel.
As Jeffery was walking to the door, suddenly a gunshot was heard.
