Inspector Osbourne had his mouth open as he flipped through the white book. The wealth of information was unimaginable, plus a countless number of unsolved murders were there.
Halfway through, he looked up at Mekus Money, and asked, "Where did you get this from?"
Mekus money looked at Kiki.
"I stole it," she said.
"From where?"
"I was on a hit list and managed to escape an assassin who had shown up out of nowhere. I stole the book from her in the process."
The inspector didn't seem convinced. "Look, before we go after anyone, we have to be sure that this information is legit."
"It is. And we're ready to testify in court that they tried to kill us."
The inspector looked Kiki over from head to toe, then head. "From stories, I hear they never miss a target, so how did it happen that both of you escaped and ended up together?"
Mekus Money swallowed hard. He knew that if the question was thrown at him, he would flop.
"Because we were together," Kiki replied.
"You two know each other?"
"We met at the club last night and went back to his place. The assassin came in the dead of the night." She shot a thumb at Mekus Money. "He was the target, but they couldn't let either of us live."
Inspector Osbourne said nothing.
"I walked in on her though, and surprised her, as she didn't expect to see two people in the room. So I attacked her, and together, Mekus Money and I overpowered her and got some information off her."
"Her? You're sure it was a 'her'?"
"Yes."
"Where can we find her?"
"Back at his place, but I doubt she would still be there."
"Why are you just reporting this to the police?"
"We were afraid they would be looking for us, so we waited for some time then came here as soon as we could."
The inspector closed the book. "Let's say I believe you. Where do we find the organization and its members?"
"I know where the office is, but the members are scattered about the whole of Lagos State."
"I will assemble a team tomorrow morning to raid the office and get some answers."
"You don't need a team, and you definitely don't need to wait until tomorrow. All you need is the boss, and she's currently at The Summit Residence."
