CHAPTER 1 ON THE RADAR

It was late in the night, and it was raining heavily. Thunder flashed across the sky and it rumbled greatly. A car stopped in front of a bar and stepping down from the car was a suited guy in mask carrying a briefcase with a hat on his head. He adjusted his hat and held the briefcase firmly in his hand then he exhaled and walked into the bar briskly.

Meanwhile, not too far from the guy were some other people in a car. One of them had a round moustache and held a camera on his hands, he peeped through it and grunted.

'He is to meet some people here and we know how it will go with them', he said and raised his eyebrows. The second man who had a cigar in his mouth took the camera from him and peeped through.

'What can they be discussing?', he asked internally and shook his head. He knew what they could possibly be discussing about, and for most it would drugs or money. Well, maybe a mixture of both. He saw one of them took out a knife and stab a substance, then he rolled his eyes.

'They are here to transact drugs but if this guy is the same guy we have on our radar. He is a brutal killer and am damn sure this deal won't end well', he mused. The other person in the car who was silent all these time finally spoke up.

'What if he ain't that guy?', he asked and continued to swipe on his phone. 'Maybe we are just wasting our time here', he added.

'Hell, what if Hugh's right?', the first man with a round moustache said and he looked at the man with cigar in his mouth but he didn't look at him back.

'Cmon, we haven't been so close as this, and am pretty sure this is the guy. You both know for how long he's been on our radar, damn it!', he cursed and removed the cigar and exhaled.

Hugh shook his head and continued swiping at his phone.

Suddenly, they heard glass shattering and they quickly looked at where it came from. It was from the bar and two men had been thrown out of the bar, the other men were in combat with the guy in suit. Soon gunshots could be heard and some people began running out of the bar screaming.

'What are you waiting for, fools!', the man with cigar shouted and the two remaining men quickly culked their guns and wore their vests and got down from the car. They made their way into the bar wading through the crowds and when they got inside it was a mess. Some bodies were lying lifeless on the ground and others were groaning.

Hugh quickly went to one of those groaning and tapped him.

'Where is he?', he asked showing his badge. The man on the floor bite his lower lip and pointed towards the window and Hugh looked at where he pointed to.

'Window?', he asked but the man shook his head and lowered his hand towards an aperture in the wall. 'What?, son of a bit*h', he cursed and left the man and whistled to the other man checking all over the place.

'He went through that', he said pointing at the aperture and the other man shook his head and cursed under his breathe.

'F*ck!', he groaned and started going through the aperture and finally came through a vent and he opened it then he landed on the roof of the building.

'Where would he have passed?', The other groaned and Hugh also landed.

'Cmon Jose, let's check around, he must have used a rope or something to get down. He can't possibly have jumped', Hugh said and began looking around as Jose started looking around too and he found a hook. He took it and found it still has rope connected to it. 'I found it', Jose said aloud and Hugh joined him and both connected the hook again.

'You go first', Hugh said and Jose nodded and began climbing downward with the rope and eventually got down. He whistled and as Hugh heard the whistle, he quickly grabbed the rope but as he was wrapping the rope, a guy landed and rushed punches at his head. He groaned as each punch landed on his face and eventually left the rope, he rushed his attacks towards the guy who dodged every attacks of his.

The guy jabbed Hugh and kicked him as he staggered towards the tip of the roof. He grabbed Hugh and he could see he was already bleeding.

'Who are you?', Hugh grunted and tried to take his gun but the guy kicked it and it fell of from the roof.

'Dont follow me. Next time it will be you instead of your gun', the guy said coldly before releasing Hugh who fell and hung when the rope hung around the hook.

'Hey! Why are you like that!?', Did something happened up there?', Jose shouted from below.

'I can use a little help here!', Hugh shouted at the top of his voice.

★★★★(Next Day at Hospital)★★★★

'How are you feeling?', Jose asked looking at Hugh who just remained still.

'I told you several times, I'm fine', Hugh replied without opening his eyes. Then a knock could be heard and the doctor entered with a man.

'Oh boss', Jose said and stood.

'Hey Hugh, you good?', The man asked ignoring Jose.

'Yeah, I'm good. You shouldn't have come', Hugh said with a nervous smile. He wondered why Wills was here himself and why he couldn't stay with since he was there with them last night but didn't participate. 'He's a boss', he thought and his smile died down. Will noticed this and choosed to ignore it and went on to speak about what was on his mind.

"What happened last night?", Will asked with his hand in his pocket calmly. He studied Hugh for some moment.

'He choosed to spare me. That is all I know', Hugh replied abruptly and held his fingers then Jose glanced at Will's. Both knew for Hugh to be acting this way, there's got to be more than he's telling.

"Are you sure?", Will asked calmly looking at Hugh.

'Yeah. That is all', Hugh replied.

'But it doesn't sound off-point to ask why did he spare you?', Will asked as he checked his watch and Hugh glared at him.

'What more do you want?, I said I don't know!', Hugh said aloud and Jose quickly calmed him down.

'Hey, chill man. It's just a question, you can choose not to answer than raising your voice', Jose whispered ignoring the glares from Will.

'I will leave the both of you to it', Will said. 'Take care of yourself', he added before going out of the ward and the doctor did some checks on Hugh before also leaving the ward.

'What is wrong?', Jose asked staring at Hugh. 'Did he say something to you?', He added as he stood expecting an answer from Hugh but he took out something from his pocket and when he saw it, his whole face lit up..
