Chapter one hundred and nineteen: D-day, Charity Day.
Everything was in place for the event. Jane was happy that he was about to do something good for society, at least that might change the name of how some people who have been hurt by her father, maybe, indirectly this program might help their family members as a way of apologizing to them.
Jane was early at the event Hall just to make sure everything was going as planned. Billionaire Andrew and his crew, I mean Rob, and police commissioner Reynold. They came to make sure that their plan was going as planned.
Rob came in with some boxes and he ordered some billionaire Andrew bodyguard to roll them in, backstage.
While police commissioner Reynold brought his men, the SWAT team was on patrol, and some of them were on the roof, the police were on watch duty but the event had not fully commenced yet.
Police Officer Joe and his colleague were not at the scene at that time but their absence was not noticed.
Everything was put in place. The event started, at this time, big and influential people in the society and country were tripping into the hall, in flashy attire, the press was also present, reporting the news.
The music in the hall was soft and melodic, the pianist played harmoniously. The Butler passed around drinks to the guests in a wine cup, the air was elegant, from how everything and everyone was coordinated.
Police Commissioner Reynold was already in the hall. He was discussing with billionaire Andrew. Both of them just finished welcoming the guest that they hoped to steal from, with a fake smile on their faces.
“How is the account coming up?” police commissioner Reynold asked. He whispered into billionaire Andrew's ear.
“It is coming great, he is setting up everything, at the back, so don't worry about it,” billionaire Andrew said.
Police Commissioner Reynold got a piece of information that there were some protesters outside of the event Hall, agitating for the arrest of billionaire Andrew and the support of Mike.
Police Commissioner Reynold quickly gave an order to his men outside the hall, he ordered them to get those people away from the hall, if not they would disrupt the business. And they did so.
Officer Joe and his colleagues are already in and they wear civilian clothes but are armed. Joe wore a tuxedo, Ruby wore a black gown, and Inspector Eric wore a tuxedo too. They look classy.
And also, Mike and Mason were in the building. They were unnoticed. The anchor or host of the show came out and told everything that the main event, was about to start and let everyone move to the main hall, where there are seats and get seated.
Billionaire Andrew and police commissioner Reynold went into the hall, police commissioner Reynold sat with the audience while Billionaire Andrew sat on the balcony seat and watched.
Police Officer Joe and his colleagues got their seats but a bit above Reynold, so they could watch him. Mike and Mason were in the back making and preparing for their plan. Everyone was waiting to execute their plans.
The event started with a speech of encouragement from one of the presenters, when she was done, there was a little music before Jane came on stage.
At this same time, Mason was in his usual position which was in the control room, the time, no one was there, and it was easy to access.
Jane came on stage and said, “Thank you, everyone, for coming,”. The audience clapped their hands.
Billionaire Andrew singled Rob, who was across the other balcony seat, ready to do his thing. He gave him a sign and the sign means “get read,”.
Police Officer Joe whispered to his colleague and girlfriend and said “Get ready,”
Mike spoke with Mason with a walkie-talkie and he said “Get ready,”.
Jane continues her speech.
“On this momentous occasion, to lend the noble cause of providing healthier lives to children, I would like to thank you all from the deepest of my heart for opting to be here among us.

The audience clapped but the three groups present, I mean Mike, billionaire Andrew, and Officer Joe’s group, were waiting for their time to strike.
There was a big screen behind Jane on stage, it was displaying a thin kid.
“So, let me not get you bored with my speech, the image displayed on the screen, behind me, is a thin kid and as you donate to our charity fund, the boy becomes fat, remember every penny matters,” Jane said. Everyone clapped because the initiative was brilliant and entertaining.
The account details were displayed and music was been played by an orchestra group. The rich audience started donating.
Rob watched as the number kept rolling in. He smiled and he left his position.
Mike knew it was time.
As soon as Jane was off the stage. Mike knew it was time for him to ascend the stage and dress the public.
Mike adjusted his black suit walked up to the stage and interrupted the event. “Everyone! I need your attention on a certain matter that concerns us all!” Mike said with a loud voice.
Everyone was shocked to see him, police commissioner Reynold quickly called for backup from his standby SWAT team, and the SWAT moved into the building from the back entrance making their way up the stage.
Jane and everyone were shocked, and Mason informed Mike about the incoming SWAT team. “Should we join them?” Officer Ruby asked.
“No, not yet, watch,” Officer Joe said. They sat among the audience.
“This man over here! Accuse my father for what he did not do, he suffered in jail until he committed suicide, it was all in the book I got from prison, if you all think it is all lies, watch this video from one of his colleagues, police commissioner Reynold,” Mike said. He played the video of Reynold's interrogation and what he confessed. Everyone was shocked.
Mason informed Mike that the SWAT was fast approaching, Mike concluded his speech and the SWAT was close to the stage, Mason shut off the lights, aiding Mike's escape.
When the lights came back on SWAT team did not see him. No one did. Officer Joe noticed that police commissioner Reynold started to panic, and he left his seat, officer Joe instructed his team to follow him.
Billionaire Andrew was shocked by what happened, he looked everywhere from his balcony but he did not see Mike. He instructed his bodyguards to go down and search for him. Billionaire Andrew tried to reach Rob but he could not.
Suddenly, billionaire Andrew was gripped by the shoulder from the back, when he turned it was Mike, surprisingly he saw Mason and Rob with them.
Billionaire Andrew's eyes were filled with fear, “how did you get here?” he asked.
“Spare me such questions, why do you do what you did to my father?!” Mike said. He placed a pen knife on the throat of billionaire Andrew.
Mike touched his wrist and he said “Answer me!”
“I... I need money, more money, so your father was the perfect person to frame up in stealing the necklace because I did not want to sell it but I just needed the insurance money, so, I used him,” billionaire Andrew said.
“Who were your partners?!” Mike asked.
“You already know,” billionaire Andrew responded.
“Names!!” Mike said. He pressed the knife into his neck, giving him a little cut.
“Okay, Reynold and Matthew, the rest are just, guys that I help carry out some illegal business, are you satisfied?” billionaire Andrew asked.
“Mike let him be, the police will handle it, we have our evidence already,” Rob said. He removed Mike's hand from billionaire Andrew’s neck.
“I thought, you were for me? Rob?” billionaire Andrew asked Rob.
“My name is not Rob, my name is Trevor, the brother of Lucy, the Lady you assassinated,”.
