Make It Rain

THIRTY-FIVE

"This is a very serious accusation you are putting forward, Funmi." Inspector Ismail rubbed his rather bushy beards while trying to digest all what Funmi had told him.

"Sir, you have worked with me before. You know I would never relay information that doesn't have a level of proof." She confidently replied, placing a flash drive on the table.

Not easily amused, Inspector Ismail raised a brow at Funmi, "What is that?"

"It is an audio file containing the full conversation between Mr. Seun and Inspector Jeje."

Taking looks back and forth between Funmi and the drive, inspector Ismail wore a faint smile, "Okay... umm I will make sure to listen to it and we will look into the matter."

"Look into it?!" Funmi needed quick action. "This matter needs urgency, someone's life is presently in danger and you want to stall this? That's madness!"

With a bang on his table, Ismail stood up fiercely, "Mind how you talk to me! I am your superior, don't you forget that!" Inspector Ismail was one to always stamp his authority.

Funmi chuckled, "Not any more."

"Excuse me?!"

"You 'were' my superior, not until inspector Jeje ratted you out. Now you are just another criminal." She leaned her back, wearing a confident smile.

"What are you talking about?"

"Why don't you sit, and I will explain." Her eyes, sending a different vibe than before. A Scary vibe.

After Ezekiel had agitated Seun and made him make a phone call to Jeje, Funmi stayed close to the area where Jeje's office was located and awaited Seun's call. She intercepted the call and recorded the entire conversation between them, then reported it to higher ups that she trusted.

"Funmilayo!!" Mr. Grey, head of the Nigerian Swat, called with a firm stare, "Are you sure of what you are saying?"

"Yes sir! Once you listen to the recordings you will see for yourself."

"If what you say is true, why not send men after Seun right away and bring him in?"

"Once the word is out that we are after Seun, his associates among us will surely inform him, and he will flee before we get the chance. That will also put the lives of Samuel, his family and even Shola in danger."

"Hmmm..." Mr. Grey nodded in agreement.

"That is why we must be very discreet about this, take out all his men and ensure Samuel's safety before going after him."

"If that's the case, then this man... Seun, right?"

"Yes sir, Seun."

"He will surely have more cops wrapped around his fingers." Making a rather accurate remark.

"Yes sir, and that is why I need some men. So we can get hold of these criminals.

"Take with you a unit of my task force." Mr. Grey was always ready to help Funmi when she needed it. "You have done me and your father proud with these actions, he is truly watching over you from heaven."

"Thank you sir." She replied, "I will take my leave now."

With the help of the Swat team, Funmilayo was able to capture inspector Jeje and get a mouth full of information from him on who else in the police was inside Seun's payroll. After taking everyone of them out, inspector Ismail was the last.

"Hahahaha!!! You are indeed a very resourceful girl." Inspector Ismail was impressed, probably the first time he was amused by Funmi.

"Saying that you will listen to the audio file later only gave me a strong sense that you are indeed among the ones who dirty the name of the Nigerian police." She said while bringing out her handcuffs. "Come in! Just in case bushy beards here tries to resist." Calling on to the stand-by team outside.
