A pair of binoculars pierced into the compound of a bungalow house surrounded by armed men.
'Positive ID ma, this is the place' the man with the binoculars said.
'Nice, we would just have to wait till he leaves the house before we go in' Helen said.
'Why do we have to wait? Let us storm the place, nab the asshole and get my niece out' Jeffery agitated.
'Be patient Jeff this is all for your niece's safety or do you want her to come out of that house in a body bag?' Helen replied.
Jeff kept his mouth shut right from that moment.

After learning the hideout of the hoodlums, Agent Nancy had called the office telling them the news and requesting for a reinforcement. A huge truck zoomed in minutes later filled with the the D.S.S agent. They all came down as soon as the bus stopped and by Jeffery's counting, they were eighteen well-armed men. Agent Nancy grouped them into two teams, the first team ‘Crocodile’ consisting of thirteen men led by agent Kenneth would go lie in wait for Chairman and his men to appear at the location. The second team ‘Alligator’ commanded by her would go burst the hoodlum's base and rescue Roseline.
Having given adequate information and the tactics to use during each mission, Helen armed herself ready to lead her team. She told Jeffery to wait in the bus but he declined. He insisted on going with them to rescue his niece. After a long argument, she eventually concurred and gave him a bulletproof vest and a fully loaded pistol.
When they got to the area, they laid low in a nearby bush surveying the house with the help of their binocular.

'Why did you join the force?' Jeffery inquired breaking the silence that had prevailed between them for about minutes.
'What do you mean?' Helen asked in reply.
'I mean a young sexy, oh sorry beautiful lady like you shouldn't be doing this dangerous stuff. Why not re-consider the idea of you being a banker, secretary or a model? I think those job suit you' Jeffery said.
Helen smiled a little before giving him a reply.
'I will ask you too, why go into drugs when there are legal businesses out there?' Helen said.
'I was in it for the money, come on, you know how much a kilo of those white powders worth' Jeffery answered.
'So you like making money at the expense of someone else's life being destroyed?'
'Who forced them to buy it? They bought it willingly knowing it will sabotage their life, it’s not my fault'.
'Have you ever seen a drug addict before? Do you know how horrible it feels to loss control of your desire to something you know will kill you someday?
Do you know what addiction really means?' Helen yelled at him.
Guilt covered Jeffery's face; her last question had stirred his emotions.
'They are leaving the building' the agent with binocular said.
'Let me have a look' Helen said taking the binocular from him.
From the two lens of the device, we saw, some men getting into two SUV jeep in the compound. An old man came out of the house guided by two securities until he entered one of the vehicles. The two jeeps sped into the road and zoomed off.
Helen dropped the devices and made a call.
'Mayday mayday, this is team Alligator, team Crocodile do you read me?' Helen said
'Team Alligator we read you loud and clear. What is the status over there?' Kenneth asked.
'The target is on the move, I repeat the target is on the move. Get your men ready for the show and tell me when you have him in your sight'
'Ok I will, thanks for the info' Kenneth replied and the call ended.
'Let’s go in now, he had left already' Jeff said.
'No we don't go in until we get a call from team Crocodile saying they have seen Chairman' Helen answered
'Why?' Jeff asked.
'Cause if we engage them now, they would call the Chairman to inform him that they are under attack and he is going to turn back and come here with all his forces.
Believe me, we will not get your niece out alive if that happens' another agent answered.
Minutes later, Kenneth called back confirming Chairman at the location and the whole Alligator team storm the bungalow house killing anyone at sight.
