With no much time to waste, the two star general made the arrangements.
He walked up to Diana where she was seated and saluted,
"Ma'am, the arrangements are done. We can get going now!" He reported,
"Good!" Diana stood up, eased him and followed him behind, with her was her adjutant general.
On getting to the parking lot, there was a fleet of military patrol cars, and In the middle, there was a red porsche. Standing side to side to each car were military personnel's all dressed in full uniforms. They were going to escort Diana out.
Now, Diana was inside the red porsche in the middle of the fleet of military patrol cars plying at high speed, onward to the legendary erotic bar.
At exactly fifteen minutes time, they arrived before the classical looking bar. It was already evening as it was 6pm already. Diana's long break was from 5;30 pm to 7;30 pm as there were alot of injured officers she was to attend to. Even after he break, she will still have to check up on her patients before closing for the day. She was although, exhausted and was missing her kids.
Coincidentally, there was an event ongoing inside the main hall of the legendary bar, salient figures and other guest were present and the occasion seemed to be really exciting, deducing from the atmosphere.
The fleet of cars, parked just outside the erotic bar building. It caught every bystanders attention. There were two fierce looking bouncers standing to each side of the entrance, one folded his hands across his massive chest while the other quickly dialed his phone, evidently, he was informing his superior that a fleet of military cars are parking just outside the bar; happenstance, it was a taboo to the Legendary Erotic Bar. But the figure who had just arrived, clearly is a powerful figure.
"Check. Who are they escorting?" The superior at the other end of the phone spoke to the bouncer, although he already had a guess in his heart.
"Uhm... He or she is yet to step down .... Wait" after another extra ten seconds elapsed, he reported "... a lady!"
Diana had just got down from the red porsche and the military personnel surrounded her, in a protection manner.
At the other end of the Porsche, her aide de camp, General Jared got down and hastily walked over to Diana. "Ma'am!" He wanted to say something but a stern look from Diana cut him off.
With that, she started heading towards the entrance with her entourage surrounding her.
"A lady?" The superior at the other of the phone gulped at the bouncers response. He had initially thought it was the five star general, because only him gets this kind of military treatment. He was shocked to find out it was a lady.
"Why are they here?" He inquired, at his office in one of the rooms inside the building, he had already stood up and was heading down stairs to find out why a military personnel would come to his bar at this time of the day.
As he rushed downstairs, he heard a loud thud in response from the bouncers phone. He had been disconnected. "Shit!" He increased his pace.
Already, every guest had had thier fills and bidding farewell in preparation to leave.
At that precise moment, In a blink of an eye, the door of the bar's main hall was pushed open, and dozens of Diana's men rushed in. One needed not be a genius to discern they were military personnels. The person in the lead appeared to be a lady. She appeared simple but radiated a faint aura and a military nobility.
At the sight of the people who abruptly barged in, shock swept through the entire frame of all the guests present.
"Security! Where the hell is the security!?" One of the guest shouted on top of his lungs when he saw the men charging in fiercely.
In trice, the superior of the bouncer, Mr Howell arrived and his expression turned chilly the moment he understood what was happening.
There were no need calling the security. No security man would dare challenge the army.
He took a step forward and bowed slightly before General Laura, "Ma'am, why are you here?" He asked, there were no harm in asking.
Diana glanced at him an smirked, " I'm only here for Mr X," she stated coldly.
"Mr X?" Mr Howell repeated,
"Yes!" Diana responded sternly.
"Alright. Follow me upstairs!" Howell said and gestured,
Diana in response turned to one of the soldiers and ordered him to chase out every patron and guest.
With that, she followed Howell behind closely.
Howell was however feeling indignant. This would tarnish the bars reputation! Still he can't do anything about it.
Behind Diana was her aide de Camp, Jared. He goes wherever Diana goes all because he had to keep her protected!
Soon, they reached upstairs and was walking down a hallway, Howell said leads to Mr X's office.
Soon, they arrived at Mr X's office and Howell planted a knock.
Once they were inside, without time to waste, Howell was chased out and Diana commanded Jared to strip Mr X naked.
Presently, he was left his underwear.
Diana observed him for a while, there were no eagle tattoo on his back. Infact, this man before her didn't in any way felt like the gigolo from that night, seven years ago.
Clearly, Anamika had deceived her. She should never have trusted her. She is a devil's incarnate and indeed, old habits die hard.
"I can't believe I fell for her scheme again!" Diana hated herself, still.....
"Have you had tattoo before?" Diana asked the man with a cold tone, sending chills down his spine as he had already started to shiver and evidently scared to the gut.
"No, in..... fact I h.. ate ta... taa.. tattoos!" He stuttered,
Upon hearing his response, Diana frowned and exited the office with Jared following her behind.
Down the hallway, heading back downstairs there was a private room, in which the door was opened widely by the left.
Diana was deep in thoughts when she turned her face and peaked inside the private room. Inside, she felt she saw a familiar figure appeared in the room. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.
"Wait for me here!" She ordered,
Jared reluctantly obeyed.
Diana turned to face the private room and peaked more inside. Although, the only light illuminating the room were colored lights playing over the room, turning it into a multicolored fairyland of blues and acid greens, hot pinks and golds, Diana could see the man seated on the sofa with his straight back to her. A military camouflage shirt was tied around his waist.
"Who is he? Civilians are not allowed to wear or tie any material with the military material and this man has a military shirt tied around his waist revealing an eagle tattoo and a long scar on his back!"
Diana froze in shock when she saw that. Her heart started to pound faster than it ever could.
The last time she saw this kind of tattoo was seven years ago, on the back of a gigolo who raped her.
But now, the man who had destroyed her life seven years ago was right in front of her eyes. It took majestic grace for her to recover from the pains this man caused her.
As she gazed at his back, sudden flashbacks appeared in her head and mind.
When she gave birth to her babies in her apartment. She nearly died of excessive bleeding because she was pregnant with triplets. If not for the early intervention of her neighbors, she didn't know what it would have resulted in.
She successfully did safe home and self delivery. It was after the delivery she was taken to the hospital for treatment.
That fateful day, the babies started kicking extemporaneously and with no one around to take her to the hospital, she took the risk. Also, she even had no finance for a hospital card.
It was all this man's fault!
