"I don't have the authority to send that person anywhere, nor do I have the power to plan what to do. He does what he wants, maybe the president is the only person who can talk to him but the rest of us, he talks to us like we are below him and cannot advise him or give him an order" Those words startled Asp Bakari from the heavy thought that were in his head.
"Chief, you know I still don't understand what you are saying right now. I am a bit confused and it's not for nothing, remember that day in you gave me the job of cleaning the dead bodies on the street and then told me that he was the one who killed them? and then you told me there was no law to arrest him. Today, I distributed those papers thinking I was working under your order, but it was the young man who came to me and ordered me around like his child. I will find him and I will do something very bad to him" his words made the IGP pour water into a cup and give it to him, to reduce ASP Bakari's pressure first because he felt the young man was shouting things he didn't understand.
"When he came to you yesterday, there was no controversial statement that he left for you?" Asp Bakari stopped drinking when he noticed that his boss had become very secretive, he tried to remember carefully
"Yes, he told me that if I stick these papers we will meet in six months, but if I don't stick them, then today we would meet at my place" he replied, being sure that his memory was unfazed.
"Now why didn't you ask me, why are you complaining here?"
"Because I thought it might be your order"
"Did you try calling me to make sure the order came from me? So if someone comes and tells you to commit murder and says that your boss sent me, you will do it and then start blaming me? Is that how you work?" those words touched him, he was really very negligent in allowing that thing to happen, but he remained silent because it was the truth.
"You want to know who that is?" The IGP asked in a deep voice that started scaring Bakari Zalimo.
"That is the director of national security?"
"Whaaaaaat?"
"That is the one who ensures the security of this nation."
Asp Bakari sat down. In other the news had drained him, the young man was very young. The first time they met, he felt that the IGP favoured him because he was the chief justice's younger brother but it was not true. What he was doing and his title was the reason why he respected him a lot.
"The young gentleman is the director of this nation's security?"
"Yes. If he came to you and offered you a job, he has decided to trust you very much because he does not appear so easily to anyone. If one day you break your trust with him, then that will be the last we will hear of your news from the face of this world" Asp got up by forcing himself to sit on the chair,
He had so many questions that he felt like his head might explode. His boss could see that, so he went to the cupboard and took out pills and water and gave them to him to calm his head, he was being told very important things.
"Why have you revealed to me something that seems to be so dangerous and such a big secret like this?"
"He is the one who wanted me to tell you the truth."
"How did he want you to tell me the truth and what if I reveal this secret to people?"
"You will have shortened your life, drink. I have given you this information because you are someone I know and trust very much, there are many things that are going on in this country but you cannot understand them until the day some people decide to make them public. He is a human being just like you in appearance, but there is a time when I am afraid of him even though I am the only person who listens to him, when you remove the president but I cannot stand it. One day you will see him in your eyes and you will come to understand who he is.
"I feel confused because I was treating him very coolly. I never really thought that he could be a dangerous person like you say, can I please know the history of his life, even if it's brief and why that person is very secretive and lives abroad while he is the director of national security? And why is this information hidden?" Asp Bakari asked a question that made the IGP very sad.
"Go and tell him that you have been assigned to go to the streets and ensure the safety of the citizens because that message can make people start protesting in the streets. If you really want to know about the information about your questions then wait for him to return from where he went and ask him yourself. If he has a job for you then he will look for you but when he returns, the country will be in a very scary situation. I know the madman well, I am giving you a week's leave to rest with your family" Asp Bakari was very surprised by his boss' decisions. He didn't answer his question and he gave him a sudden leave, so he had no other way. He came out of his boss's office very weak, holding his waist, he didn't believe what he was being told and witnessed it with his own eyes.
He went outside where he gave his assistant his responsibilities and told him that he had to stand in his place because he would not be around all week. He left and rode his bike which he had brought that day deep in thought he did not understand the world very well. Every time he passes by, he looked at people and didn't want to continue trusting humans. You can see a very ordinary person in your eyes, but behind him, there are a lot of scary things and that is the world that was opened in his eyes.
