Not suprised by the outcome of Mark Snr knowing that his son heads the fiqht against him. If he can just abandone the quest he has put himself into for the benefit of the lives he would waste, i think would be better.

Let the updates keep rolling, they are rich in message. Nice updates

"Mum, I need to get back to school." Christopher said a few minutes later.
"You said what?" She asked.
"Our school bus is leaving." He repeated.
"No, you are going back with me to the office. I don't think I can leave you in the custody of you in the custody of your teachers. At least, not today anymore."
"Mum, what has my teachers got to do with this? Is it their fault? And moreso, I wasn't hit, so I think I should just return to school." He said.
"I am glad you weren't hit, and I think its high time you stopped partaking in extra curricular activities. It is you in sports, it will always be you in debates and quizes. Christopher, face your books and graduate with top grades." Tina complained.
"Mum, this is not a time to talk about this. Can I get back to school?" He asked, he was visibly getting angry.
"Take the key, go and wait for me in the car." She said and walked towards the education minister who was having a discussion with the Lagos state commissioner for Defence.
After exchanging pleasantries with the two men.
"You know, that was a brave act there." The Minister said.
"Thank you sir." she replied.
"And what about the other man? Will he make it?" The minister asked.
"He should. Even though the head of the medical team is kind of unsure about it, but the man in question is strong, so I expect him to pull through." She explained and glanced back in the direction where the commissioner was staring at.
There stood her son Christopher discussing with a young man who had his back to her. And mere looking at her figure, she could feel her heart burning, the figure looked familiar, plus her son defied her orders.
"Is that your son?" The minister asked when he had joined them in staring.
"Yes sir." she replied.
"You know, the boy is really brilliant. I went through the video of the preliminary stages of the debate and I am awed. He'll make a good orator." The minister said.
"Thank you sir." She replied curtly, but one would clearly see she was proud of her son. "Please I'll be right back." She said and marched towards her son.
"Chris!" She screamed, and immediately, the boy stepped aside to see his angry mother, while the man talking to him turned too.
"Oh my God! Not again." She said as she stopped in her tracks, trying to prevent herself from collapsing.
"Mum, what's the matter?" Christopher asked running towards his mother.
"Get off me." She shoved him away violently.
She glared at Jimmy who was approaching her by now, hands in his pocket and a smile on his face.
"Hi Tina. Its good to finally see you after so many years." He said.
"Oh my God! Jimmy, what are you looking for? What do you have with my son? What are you doing here?" She threw questions at him.
"Which one do I answer first?" He asked.
"Jimmy, please stay away from my son and I. We have nothing to do with you. Okay?" She replied.
"But the boy needs to know the truth. He is no longer a kid." He said.
"What truth?" She asked feigning innocence.
"There is no point playing dumb. You and I know where this leads us. But I will stay away from you, but your son, I doubt it." He said confidently before walking away after giving Chris a goodbye wink which the boy returned.
"Now lets get out of here you devil." She said dragging him by the ear towards the parking lot.
"Ouch! Mum, it hurts." He cried, but she would have none of that.
She unlocked the car door and shoved him into the passenger seat.
"Madam." A female voice called from behind forcing her to stop.
"Yes? What is it?" She asked rudely.
"The school bus is leaving and Chris should be with the other students." The lady said.
Tina sized the lady up for roughly thirty seconds before speaking.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"I am a teacher in his school." She replied.
"Good. Take care of the others and return them safely to school. I will take care of my son." She said more like and advice.
Still in shock of how Tina spoke to her, by the time she came back to life, Tina had driven out of the stadium even though she should have waited for the FBI team probably begin investigation, but right now, she need to get out fast.
"How did that man know you would be here today? And why didn't you tell me about the debate?" She broke the silence.
"I told him you won't be there to cheer me up, so he said he is gonna come." Christopher replied.
"Did you tell me about it? You only assumed I won't be coming. That's very bad of you Chris." Tina began angrily. "Now, see how everything played out. The man you invited came late and I who you didn't invite came early and I still save people's live, including yours, something that man couldn't have done." She continued. "But, Chris why?" She asked.
"Mum, he said something about a secret. Do you care to share?"
"Shut your mouth there or I do it for you."

It won't speak well if the boy hear the story from outsider. Tina is still in the best position to tell him. The boy is ready to hear. She has time now to explain and defend herself.

I wonder why Tina kips being intimidated by Jimmy. In any case he shd fear her presence. She better starts behavin like da tomgul she is. I believe da child will hate to c his father if he shd hear da truth. Or will choose da mum over his dad. U dnt choose wealth over me n come back loving cos u dnt av a son. Dedicate ur will to ur wealth n name ur money after u. Send ur cars in ur old age! I hope onemansquad and stuff46 are learnin a lesson.

Tina was seated in her office and her son, Christopher was seated uncomfortably in front of her when the door opened and the N.A.T.U director, Collins walked in.
"Hey Chris." Collins said.
"Uncle Col, good morning or afternoon?" Christopher replied.
"How are you?" Collins asked.
"Am good, but bored." Christopher replied.
"Hey! You shouldn't be. Here is lively enough to make your day interesting." Collins said.
"Yeah. You are right, but not with me seated in mum's office on the visitor's chair and staring at her in silence." He replied and they all laughed.
"Could you please excuse your mum and I?" Collins asked. "You could take a tour around the building. You'll love the exterior. Do you know we now have sporting facilities and a gym? You can look around."
"Oh! That sounds great." His face lit up in happiness.
"Do you still remember the way around here?" His mother spoke for the first time since Collins entered.
"Yes I do, and even if I missed my way, I can always press the emergency button." He replied.
"Ok good. Have this, to be able to walk around." Tina said handling her Identity card to the boy who hung in on his neck.
And few seconds later, he walked out of the office.
"Who are you calling?" Collins asked when she saw Tina pick up the intercom.
"The security." She replied. "Hello, Agent Tina on the line. My son, Christopher would be taking a tour around the building, get someone keep a watchful eye on him and make sure he doesn't go near the gate." She said and hung up.
"So, how's Mark?" Collins asked.
"I haven't been to the hospital, but the doctor promised to keep me posted on the situation of things." She replied.
"That's great then, but I would have loved him being treated by our medical staffs. That way, security is assured, but anyways, we just have to let this slide." Collins said, almost to himself.
"Did you get the blueprint sent to your table?" She asked moments later.
"Yeah... I got it. What's it all about? The Private investigator? Why recommend him for the Agency?" He replied.
"Like it was written in the report, the man is really in a class of his own and I would have loved if he could work with us here. You know, he might know a thing about the event leading Idris death." Tina explained.
"It still doesn't make any sense. We can't trust these people. I actually commend him for a job well done today, but haaving him on our side will be disastrous. He could work agaist us later on. He may be used. Tina, just let him be. If you need his help call him and let him work for us from the outside. Bringing him inside reveals a lot of things to him...." Collins was saying when a gentle knock sounded on the door and over a second later, the door opened and a young man walked in.
"Good morning Miss Tina." He greeted with a slight bow as he checked his wristwatch to be sure. "Good morning Mr Collins."
"We have met today already." Collins replied, while Tina acknowledged his greeting with a smile.
"Have your sit." Collins said pointing to the second chair on hi right.
The young man muttered a 'thank you' to himself as he sat down.
"From the Legal department is it?" Tina who has been trying to recollect where she had see the face asked. She remembered running into him a couple of times at the entrance and sometimes in the parking lot.
"Yeah. I am Edward." He replied.
"There is no doubt, you are Headward." Tina thought staring at the man's head.
"I have been asked to give you this." He said handing a brown envelope to her.
She knew nothing good can come out of the visit of anybody from the legal department which also served as the disciplinary panel.
"You have been asked to show up at the panel briefing at ten tomorrow morning." He said.
"Panel briefing? Why?" She asked as she scanned through the letter. "Idris death? Who made this call?" She asked angrily.
"I am not allowed to say that here. Get prepared to answer questions from the panel tomorrow." The young man said bowed one more time and walked out.
"Collins, what's going on?" She asked.
"I have no idea." Collins replied.
"Stop it. I know you knew about this, don't you?" She asked.
"There was nothing I could do. The filing has been done." He replied.
"But you signed it on." She said.
"I have no choice." He replied moving close to her.
"Who pinned this on me?" She asked.
"Clara." He replied.
"Dammit!" She knew it. Clara was ready to frustrate life out of her.

--to be continued--
You remember Clara, don't you?
For those who might have forgotten her. She was the lady who drove Mark home in the previous episode. You remember the hatred and bad blood between them?
