"Hi Oliver."

"Hey man. Long time." He said panting. Probably from work out.

"We spoke the day before yesterday." I said bluntly. "How are things there?"

"Great. So great. The money you sent is giving this youths something to work on and everyone is co-operative. We might have problems here and there but it's manageable."

"That's great to hear. How is everyone?" I asked smiling. I miss them, I miss home.

"Good. I think people miss you a lot. We like feel your missing presence whenever we hold a meeting." He said. "Oh, I called because of Dennis. Have you heard from him?"

"We spoke last on Sunday. Why? What happened?" I asked sitting straight.

"I haven't seen him for a while now. I went to his home but his father said he wasn't around which is suspicious enough. I've also tried calling him but he won't answer."

"I'm coming there today, tomorrow." I said with finality. I heard laughs. "What's going on?"

"So that's what it will take to bring you back here?" Titus asked chuckling.

"What do you mean?" I already understood.

"He's fine. He s here with us right now laughing his ass off. Ssup."

"Idiots. I have a lot to do. I'm good though. Probably in all the papers here but I'm trying to cope with it."

"Well, it seems you ain't getting off popularity anytime soon." I sighed. My Secretary piped her head in pointing at the phone in her hand.

"Hey, I'll speak to you later okay? I have to go. Say hi to everyone. Tell Dennis I love him." I hung up ready for more paperwork and phone calls. But something really felt off. " Alex, please report to my office." After a few minutes he was there.

"Sir, you called for me." I looked at him smiling inwardly, true to his words, he is a hard worker. He hasn't disappointed me in any way.

"My phone has been behaving weirdly." I said putting it forward.

"With all due respect sir. There is the phone repair shop at the mall down the street." I chuckled and shook my head.

"Well, I have the best IT guy here?" I could see a little of pink on his cheeks. "Well, I don't trust anyone but you right now."

"Okay, fine. Let me see." He took it from the table. "Mmmhhh, it seems it's either tapped or duplicated."

"That's..... that's, not as shoking as I thought." I said tapping my chin. "Can you pick them out?"

"I don't know, even if I try, it'll take a while." I gestured to the comfortable couches. "Now?" I nodded. "Here?" I nodded again and turned to my papers and I guess he got the message.

Oliver

"What are you doing?" I asked after he hung up the phone.

"We can't tell him that right now. Do you know how much trouble we'll be in?" Titus asked getting nods from the girls. "We need to find him as soon as possible else I don't want to face his anger. You know him."

"A week now. How are we supposed to do that?" I asked turning to them.

"He'll be fine. We'll find him okay?" Njeri said patting my back.

"He'll find out. I know he will. They always speak everyday....." My phone rung. "Hello" it was silent and as I though of hanging up, they spoke.

"3,000,000 in 48 hours. He's dead." The line went dead.
