#WritcoStoryPrompt4
The email he has received today is marked urgent. But it's from a friend who died two years ago. Marks had a great problem going through his mails. He and his friend Santos had earlier engaged in a serious but very dangerous business transaction which involved a staggering Eight million dollars and the law enforcement agencies got wind of the transaction but the Cops had no enough clues as to what was really happening. Santos on the material date of his death knew that the deal had hit a snag and the only way out was to urgently call his friend, but if he used a mobile phone the Cops who came after him would have a clue where the stacks of cool cash were hidden. Santos decided to drop an emergency e-mail to his friend marked as urgent,as he saw heavily armed Cops approaching. He knew things had turned sour as those Cops were known to be a ruthless and aggressive Squad. He dropped his expensive phone on the ground pretending to be engulfed in fear and it went right in the drainage and the Cops thought it was just an accident,Santos stooped feigning to pick his phone but as he did that the message had already been sent to Marks. The Cops where beaten to this trick and sensed nothing of any kind. Santos was picked by the Black Cats as this Squad was known in Makumbi Island. The Squad led Santos to his apartment for a search. He complied with the Cops knowing that his House had two escape doors at the rear . He led them in and ask the Cops if he can use the Toilet. The Squad ordered one of there men to escort him. He went with him inside the Toilet and searched if there was any exit point in that small room but the Cop saw no exit point in that room. Santos knew the moment the Police officer turned his back on him that,that was his chance to escape. The escape door was made right where the big wall mirror was. It opened by the press of one button which looked like a holding button. Santos went through the escape door down the tunnel which led him to it's exit on the main Road through the Manhole. He failed to open the Manhole as there was a construction going on,on the Main Road and one of their heavy duty machine was parked right on the Manhole cover. The Cops were in panic as they discovered that Santos had vanished in thin air. By the time they came to discover the escape door, it was some hours latter and Santos had past on because he had suffocated to death.Two years later when Marks was creating space on his phone, he discovered an e-mail from his friend which was rebelled as urgent. His eyes fixed to the small screen of his phone,perplexed with the details in the message it left him puzzled . Marks now had one thing on his mind and that is to unearth the stacks of cash which were buried right at the edge of the island adjacent to a Military base. Marks had to do it because that was all he had to live on and it was the only way he could avenge the death of his childhood friend.He now has to employ a strategic plan on how he will snatch out the cash without people and the Military men noticing. Marks managed to unearth the stacks of dollars. Life at the Military base was always as tight as it is expected. Marks was now on a mission and being a native of the Land was aware what to expect. He was troubled as life became even difficult because the Island had very few opportunities to offer and the health of his Father was not good at all. One day in the early afternoon, he took a walk down hill eastwards in the direction of the Military base to assess on how he would execute his mission.He walked for close to 3 kilometers and found a sign poster with these inscription,"Do not go beyond this point,Military surveillance cameras ahead" He stood still and thoughts running through his minds he knew that if he dared to ignore the warning all hell will break loose. Marks thought for a second time and aborted his mission. He looked again on the poster but the message he was reading was the exactly opposite of his mission. He turned and took 3 steps opposite the poster heading home to map up another plan,and suddenly 2 huge Soldiers appeared right before him. He was so frightened as he was not used seeing people in Military Uniforms. This was Marks first time seeing people so huge like these two men,he was wondering if they came from another planet or something similar because...
