 The Complete Assasination Part 12
FIFTEEN YEARS LATER…
Steven was in a small dark room. He was not alone
by himself.
There were other people in the room too. It had
been hours and the
air in the room had begun to choke and it became
very difficult to
breathe. The room was dimly lit by the little amount
of sunshine
that trickled in through holes in the ceiling. There
was no
ventilation of any sort as they breathed in each
other’s air. A
woman puked beside Steven. He turned quickly but
he was not
fast enough as some spittle fell on his arms and
face. His hands
were tied to his legs as he sat with his back against
the wall. He
looked at the people around him. There were three
men and one
woman. They all had bruises on their faces. They all
looked glim
and starved, bound by chains and ropes.
Suddenly, the wooden door yanked open. A rough
looking man
carrying a very sharp cutlass came into the room.
He looked
around the room for a while, as if he was trying to
make a
decision. After about two minutes, he moved
towards the woman
and grabbed her by the collar of her dress.
“Please. Please. I am innocent. I have not done
anything.
Please…” She pleaded meekly but the man turned
deaf ears.
He pulled her, dragging her to the door and
pushing her out of the
room with her legs still bound together. As the man
was about to
close the door behind him, there was a voice from
outside, a
strong commanding voice. It roared across the
whole area and
Steven trembled where he sat.
They could not see the owner of the voice through
the tiny space
left by the door but it carried enough power to melt
them to their
very bones.
“Take the woman back. Bring me the pretty man,
with the fine
yellow skin.” The voice ordered.
Steven’s heart did a few backflips. He looked at the
three men
hoping someone else would fit the description.
None did. It was
him. He was the one with very light complexion and
smooth hair on
his skin. The door opened. The dangerous man
came in again,
brandishing his cutlass. 		03/07/2015 20:49

“I need his head!” The voice commanded from
outside.
The dangerous looking man smiled. A happy
mischievous smile.
He approached Steven and raised his cutlass high
above his
head. And in one fast swift movement, the cutlass
landed on
Steven’s neck.
Steven woke up.
His forehead was covered in sweat as his heart beat
gradually
reduced to normal. The air conditioning was
blowing at the coolest
temperature. The lights in his room were off. He
stretched his hand
behind him, traced the wall till he got to the light
switch and
flicked it on.
“What the hell is this dream?” He asked himself
touching the side
of his neck where the cutlass in his dream had
landed on.
He looked around his room, watching for any
suspicious
movements. He did not see any. He had been
having this
particular dream for four days running now. He
made a mental
note to call ‘Sensei’, his master later in the morning.
Getting up from his bed, he walked to the bathroom
and ran the
tap. Cold water gushed forth into the sink. He took
some of the
water in his palms and doused his faced. Raising
his head, he
scrutinized himself in the mirror in front of him. He
had come a
long way. He had outgrown his fears, mastered his
weaknesses
and perfected his strengths. He now had an athletic
body; his
chest was broad and his biceps, huge and bulging.
He had a
smooth velvety skin and his upper torso was strong
and taut. He
could pass for a s*xy** and seductive model when
he wanted and he
could turn up a menacing look when he desired. He
had been
training for five years with Sensei, and he felt like
he was ready.
He broke every record that had been previously
made. He set new
ones. He was now a feared member of the Shadow
Organization.
Sensei nicknamed him the Ultimate Weapon.
Two weeks back he had undergone the last and
most difficult test.
He had killed a woman in cold blood for having s3x
in a room with
different men while forcing her six year old son to
watch. It took
only a twist of his hands. The operation had lasted
fifteen seconds,
another record. He was now Shadow Prime, the
next in command
after Sensei himself. He was ready. He had waited
for ten long
years to begin his plan, to pursue his vendetta. Yet,
Sensei was
not willing to send him forth. He was the best
student in his cadre,
and at 29 was the youngest ever to be Shadow
Prime. Why the hell
was Sensei dragging him back?
“Damnnit!!” Steven shouted angrily hitting his right
fist against the
mirror on the wall.
The mirror cracked but did not shatter. Steven
looked at his
knuckles and saw blood. He smiled. He did not feel
the slightest
pain. His body had been trained and conditioned to
be the slave of
his mind. If he did not want to feel, he would never
feel.
He took a roll of tissue paper and tied it to the
wound. He sat down
on the edge of his bed, opened the last drawer of
his bed side table
and took out a picture. His father Jeffery and his
mother Dorothea
sat close to each other on a long couch while
Sharon and Stella
sat on their opposite sides. He was sprawled on
their laps,
supporting his head on a propped elbow on
Sharon’s laps.
Everyone was all smiles. It was the last picture they
had taken as
a family, just a few weeks before his life was
changed forever by
the men that invaded their home that fateful day in
December. 		04/07/2015 21:01

Steven kissed his mother, his dad, and his two
sisters respectively
in the picture and said quietly to himself,
“Soon, justice will be served. I promise you that.”
He said.
As he was putting the picture back in the drawer,
there was a
knock on his door. The door opened before he
could answer.
“Hey, Steve. Is everything okay? I heard noises.” A
woman said
walking into his room.
“Everything is fine Doc. Just a nightmare.” Steven
replied
“I have told you to stop calling me Doc. What was
the nightmare
about?” She asked.
“I’m sorry Aunt Vic. Doc is just one syllable and is
quicker to
pronounce.” Steve teased.
“Silly boy!” Aunt Vic replied hitting him playfully on
the arm.
They laughed and joked and after sometime, Aunt
Vic slept off in
his arms. She reminded him so much of his
mother. She had been
there for him all these years, sending him through
school, taking
care of him, and providing for his every need. She
was no longer
the doctor that helped him in the hospital. She was
his mother
now. He did not joke with Aunt Vic.
He laid her down gently on his bed and covered her
with his duvet.
His mind was troubled. He had been having the
same dream for
four nights consecutively. He closed his eyes and
tried to
meditate. He could not.
He made up his mind. He was going to see Sensei
and was ready
to face whatever consequence it might bring. 		07/07/2015 12:47

Steven parked his Bugatti Phantom three buildings
away from the
Colony. The Colony was the base for all operations
of the Shadow
Organization. It was a building with just one floor
but with a lot of
rooms. Steven knew every inch of the Colony except
one; The
Sensei Lodge. No one aside the Sensei himself had
the clearance
to access that particular suite. Not even the fact
that he was
Shadow Prime. He had always wondered what
made the suite so
special and out of reach. He was determined to find
out no matter
what it took. He did not care for titles, neither did
he want fame
nor to be the commander of the Shadow Knights.
All he wanted
was enough training and mastery of the arts of
combat, weaponry
and disguise. Now that he was at the pinnacle of his
career, Sensei
had to let him go. And the only way to force a move
away from the
Shadows was to do something that had never been
done before.
He wore a starched white shirt with tiny horizontal
blue stripes,
with his sleeves folded neatly at his elbows. The
shirt was tucked
into a beautiful pair of grey pants which stopped
just above his
ankles and hugged his legs well. He got out of his
car and walked
towards the Colony with his hands in his pockets,
with a pair of
dark shades on his face. He stopped at the huge
black gate of the
one storey building where the Colony operated
from. It did not
look flashy nor out of the ordinary. It could as well
pass for just
any kind of residential home. It properly
camouflaged itself among
the other similar houses on the street. No one
suspected a thing.
He walked to the side of the gate where there was a
small kiosk
with its window overlooking the wide interlocked
street.
“Hassan!” Steven called out.
“Na wetin u wan buy?” Hassan replied from
somewhere inside the
compound.
“Na your head I wan buy. My friend come open this
gate!” Steven
said raising his voice.
“Ah Oga, na you?” Hassan said, poking his eye
through the small
see through hole on the gate.
Steven had always fantasized about shooting a
bullet through that
hole whenever Hassan peeped. How could he be so
careless? Well,
Hassan had no idea who the kind of people his
bosses were so he
could be permitted to be lax.
“No Hassan. No be me. Na my head.” Steven
replied as he heard
the locks of the gate click open.
“Sorry Oga mi. I been dey cook.” Hassan pleaded.
“Who dey house?” Steven asked.
“Nobody dey.” Hassan replied.
“Okay.” Steven said and walked towards the
entrance to the
house. 		09/07/2015 20:59

Steven stood in front of the single iron door that led
into the house.
He had not reported for duty in two weeks. He
examined the
structure of the door as he moved closer.
Everything seemed to be
the same way he had left it. He pushed a button and
the iron door
opened electronically sideways. He stepped inside
and
immediately the door closed shut behind him. He
was now inside
some sort of small enclosure. He could not stretch
his arms nor
move. He knew what would come next. He would
be asked to
provide his clearance in seconds and if he failed at
first attempt,
the enclosure would begin to produce heat, hot
enough to fry him
alive.
As if on cue, an electronic female voice spoke from
above him.
“Welcome. Please provide your onetime passkey.”
The voice said.
“Alpha, alpha, troy, Hercules, gamma, infinity, delta,
gamma.”
Steven replied.
“Voice recognition insufficient. Threat detected.
Commencing
elimination sequence in 10 seconds. 9, 8, 7, …” The
electronic
voice began to say.
Steven wondered what could have gone wrong. Had
his passkey
been changed or deleted? He had singlehandedly
reprogrammed
Isis and had set up all the parameters for access.
How come she
was denying him entry? Someone was going to pay.
“Isis. This is Shadow Prime. I need access. Now!”
Steven
commanded.
“6, 5, 4…” Isis continued.
Steven had to do something otherwise he would
not make it out of
the enclosure alive. He had one last option but he
did not know if
that had been tampered with too. He had no choice.
Besides, there
was not enough time to think.
“Alpha Troy Infinity. Initiate Command. Remote
Access Logon.
Pause sequence. Password: Dorothea Jeffery
Sharon Isis. End
command.” Steven said hurriedly but clearly. He
had already
begun to feel the hot waves coming from the small
air vents
beneath his feet
“3, 2, 1… Sequence halted. Welcome Shadow prime.
Input
command.” Isis said. 		10/07/2015 13:28

Steven heaved a sigh of relief. He rested his head
on the wall and
relaxed. Someone had hacked into Isis and
reprogrammed her. He
had the master codes and was lucky that he
remembered them
quickly enough. Someone was trying to get him
killed. He would
deal with the culprit as soon as he was done with
Sensei. First, he
had to see his master.
“Isis, input command. Reset password Shadow
prime. Shadow
Prime Hercules Trojan. Grant Access. End
Command.” Steven
ordered.
“Password changed. Access Granted. Welcome
Shadow Prime.” 		11/07/2015 13:29

The wall before Steven split into two and opened to
each side
revealing a long corridor with doors on every side.
Steven stepped
out of the enclosure and walked into the corridor.
He walked down
the corridor until he got to a door which had “LEVEL
FIVE
CLEARANCE” written on it.
He pressed the yellow button by the door. It turned
green then
opened. It was an elevator that would take him to
the first floor. He
followed the elevator to the first floor and got out
as the door
opened. He could not withhold the shock he felt
when he saw
Sensei standing on the landing of the first floor. It
seemed like he
had been waiting.
“Sensei!” Steven said and quickly bowed, putting
both palms
together as a sign of respect.
“Stevey. I have been waiting for you. I knew you
would come.”
Sensei said opening his arms for an embrace.
Steven embraced his master, and then disengaged.
“I ran into a little problem at reception. I would
have been here
sooner.” Steven replied.
“I know. I am the one who reset the parameters on
Isis. You have
not been in touch Stevey. I needed to be sure you
were still in good
form. I still left you an option. If I wanted you dead,
you would not
have had access to Isis’ original configuration
commands to reset
your password.” Sensei said and smiled.
He saw the confused look on Steven’s face.
“I programmed my receiver to reject all calls but
keep a log of
people trying to reach me. Doesn’t mean that I did
not know you
were trying to reach me. When I did not hear
anything from you
two days ago, I thought you would come yesterday.
Anyways, here
you are now. Come, walk with me.” Sensei said,
leading the way
through the corridor. 		11/07/2015 13:31

“I could have died, Sensei! That was very risky!”
Steven
complained, walking beside his coach and mentor.
“Stevey, you did not get to Shadow Prime by target
practice and
writing gaming codes. You got here by being
ruthless, by thinking
out of the box, by taking split second decisions and
coming out
unscathed. You are Shadow Prime. I expect nothing
less from you
boy. Test not my patience protégé. You have earned
my respect.
Don’t lose it now.” Sensei warned.
Steven knew better than to argue with Sensei.
Sensei was the bravest and most intelligent person
Steven had
ever met. He was 6feet 4inches, had a muscular
body and golden
belt in Tai Chi. He had hacked into the Intelligence
Corporation of
the police department when he was eleven to
delete all evidence
against his father who faced life in prison. Sensei
had an unusual
tolerance for pain and was dangerously ruthless
when he had to.
Sensei had a lot of nick names. He was called Eagle
Eye, Brainiac,
Dead Shot, Magic fingers, amongst others. Sensei
had presence.
He would walk into a room and everyone would
notice. And he
would waltz out of a crowed place and you would
never notice. He
was a master of stealth, deception and disguise. His
deep voice
made sure you heard him out. Sensei was
everything Steven ever
dreamed he would be. 		13/07/2015 19:51

Sensei hardly raised his voice. When he did, no one
dared him. He
did not need weapons to kill. His hands were
weapons on their
own. He had trained since he was a teenager to use
his hands in a
deadly manner. Steven could remember vividly his
first day of
training. Sensei had told him, along with the others
to make very
hard bricks and bring them to the training session.
One after
another, Sensei broke each brick with his bare
hands.
“This is not a show off. Your aim is to be better than
this, to be
better than me. Many of you will fall by the side.
Some of you will
make it to the top ranks. But only one of you shall
get the prize”
Sensei had said almost eight years ago.
Somehow, Steven feared him.
They got to the end of the corridor and stood face
to face with a
wall. Sensei opened his left palm and pressed it
against a
particular spot on the wall. The rectangular
perimeter where
Sensei had placed his hand shone bright red and
then dimmed.
The bright cream color on the wall faded out to
show a transparent
cubicle more like the one Steven entered the
building with.
Steven stepped in after Sensei and the transparent
door shut
behind them.
A deep masculine electronic voice spoke:
“X-ray scans initiating.”
Infrared lights appeared from the corners of the
walls and scanned
the whole enclosure. It scanned the whole of
Sensei’s body and
immediately it got to Steven, an alarm rang out.
“Intruder alert. Commencing Defense Mode” The
voice said.
“No Zeus. He is with me. Proceed to Sensei’s
Lodge.”
The enclosure went down and Steven felt himself
been sunk deep
beneath the building. They were now underground
in some sort of
tunnel. The enclosure opened and the voice
returned.
“Welcome Godrick. Welcome Intruder.”
“Thank you Zeus.” Sensei replied. And turning to
Steven Sensei
said,
“Welcome to Sensei’s Lodge.” 		13/07/2015 19:52
