The hardship and adversities in Okuro and Mu Empire shaped messiahs and liberators as much as they dampened and weakened vitality of men, women, youth and children. The saying found meaning in the life of Taa, the wife of Square and a crucial witness in the case of chief Mulo that MIB and all gangs loyal to Maxima in Okuro and Mu Empire had been tasked to eliminate.

After going undercover to see where she would have been shot, she walked around her compound reminiscing about her life and wondered why Chief Mulo would reward her and the husband with hostility despite the husband's sacrifice to his service.

After Madina had addressed the funeral meeting, Taa monitored her moves before leaving . After short conversation, she convinced Madina who gave her lift to the police station . Before they could reach the station, they nearly ran over Omwa who was running to escape being apprehended by Pastata.The near headon collision at the junction made Omwa to dive on the road where he sustained some bruises. Taa held his hands and lifted him off the ground as Madina checked the condition of his head and other body parts. They dusted his torn clothes as he explained himself painstakingly.

Taa: Aren't you Omwa the eye of the spirits. What has happened to you?

Omwa: Sorry!

Madina: Who's chasing you?

Omwa: The police. They are still planning to kill your husband?

During his meeting with Escobar, Pastata revealed the whereabouts of Square and the Team promised to finish him as they had initially planned.

Taa: Who were they?

Omwa:(perspiring ) Chief Mulo, Escobar, Nabil and Pastata. I think Chief Bula also joined them

Madina: Get on the bike. we're going to town. Immediately

Madina called madam Travis to tip them about the information. She sped very fast and within twenty minutes she was in MOH Restaurant where they waited for Officer Madam Travis and Balance who arrived ten minutes later.

No sooner had officers Travis and Balance arrived than they received the Call from the commander Bond's office . It was Matar calling since commander Bond was not in the office.

Matar: Hello. This commander Matar calling

Pa: (all smiles)

Travis: ( Laughing) Hello Officer Travis. How're you commander?

Matar: I'm calling to inform you that the news about Chunye's resurrection reached the pinhole room a few minutes ago. None is in the office. They all scampered in fear. Over!

Travis: Are you serious. Over?

Matar: That's accurate information. Allow me disconnect immediately. Over!

The whole team busted with laughter as they imagined the conversation between Travis and Matar. What made them laugh most was the running away of Escobar and his men upon discovering that indeed Chunye was still alive. Shi looked at the officers with utmost admiration and wished she talked to Matar over the phone.

Shi: That was Matar!

Travis: Yes Shi. That was him.

Shi: I wanted to talk to him!

Travis: Sorry. I'll phone your dad number to connect you when we go back. Okay?

Shi : Thank you Sir. I'll appreciate.

After clarification , the Team moved to Madina's room where they made necessary arrangements and clarifications.

Balance: Thank everyone for this update, we agreed I was to meet with Madina here but I didn't see it coming

Madina: Infact I had no idea it would happen

Travis: That's how this office. We good things without planing but perform poorly on planned things

Balance: Let me commend both of us for swift action. Omwa, continue being vigilant. Congratulations.

Travis: Just to update you on Matar's call: They've confirmed today that Chunye isn't dead. I think that isn't news to us. They've confirmed their strategy is a week behind schedule.

Madina:(Laughing )We've given our donation in the funeral. We're with the in the mourning mood.

Travis: That is generous. Their financier is under pressure from the privy sources

Madina: I think they won't do much. They're shaken are exposed. They might not attend that funeral

Travis: Let's go to new arrangements: The two guys , Chunye and Square have reunited at Medicinas' gym where they're doing intensive fitness training for this operation going forward. There are a number of kids there with them.

Balance: Madam Taa.

Taa: Yes sir!

Balance: You're joining Saldana for full time and pensionable job. You'll help us in this operation from her place.

Travis: For those who're not aware Taa is a former military officer, though not in our country. Through marriage she is one of us. Welcome again, Taa.

Taa : Thank you very much I'm humbled. I really wanted to do something to help but my husband didn't like. Now he agrees, and I'm happy he is undertaking his training seriously.

Madina: Where is he training?

Balance: We're coming there Madina.

Travis: Madina?

Madina: Yes Officer!

Travis: welcome to the Team were happy your inroad is already bearing fruits. Activate the Youth movement. Children are set , through Matar, Omwa is here. We can beat threats to insecurity together.

Madina: Thank you officer

Balance: You'll also join the Medicinas gym. We've talked to your boss he blue ticked it. There is more than gymnastics. There is gun handling that you needed. You gun license be reading next week following the assessment test you did.

Madina: ( Shedding Tears of joy) Thank you officers Balance and Travis. You've made my dream come true. I owe you.

Travis: Security is a calling. We shared with Saldana about you. And even part of the donations you presented were part of her charity. She would like to meet you on your long term career in security related field. What we've at hand is ending anytime. I think you can testify to that?

TEAM: Yes!

Travis: That's why we want you integrated on permanent and pensionable terms, like Taa. Okay

Taa: Thank you very much

Madina: Thank you officers.

Omwa: I also need training. I want to be detective.

Travis: You're detectives already. All Kide will be put on salary starting this month. We need serious security backup to root out insecurity menace before LBcorp ACCELERATOR project rollout. We can't prosper with criminals controlling security sector. Are we together?

TEAM: Yes!

Travis: Let me give my colleague remaining time. Balance, kindly.

Balance: Thank you colleague. I love your passion for security. You've really inspired me since I joined the force. I'm the youngest officer going by records. Thank you very much for trusting me.

Travis: Welcome Balance. I have also been inspired by you. During my time I had not achieved what you've done. I like you too.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Balance: To the rest of you we've intensified WPA arrangement. Kindly cooperate. Even army commander needs police to secure him. I don't want you to forget that. Than you for now.

Madina set the table for the whole team to have dinner followed by supper, part of facilitation budget Saldana provided for the team.

Travis: This meal is nice. I like Moh Restaurant for the best meals

Balance: It's so homely.

Taa: It has been a while since I took a square meal. Thank you Madina for courtesy.

Madina: Welcome anytime. Everyone!

Travis: Balance,I need this treat at your convenience. Wouldn't you?

Balance: Can't we extend our stay here because tomorrow is uncertain for officers?

'EVERYONE LAUGHING '

Ali Moh walked into the table where the officers were eating. He was followed by the wife who carried assorted gifts including packages of dates and other food stuffs for the officers.

Ali: Officers Travis and Balance, let me take this time to commend you. Kindly accept our little tokens of appreciation.

Travis: Thank you very much Moh family for this package .

Balance: Thanks for your immense generosity. Always count on our honesty in service.

Ali: We've never seen officers that do everything for nothing.

Travis: That's the spirit of police force: Service to All. I think we can't achieve much without spirit of collectivity as expressed in community policing.

Balance: Let thank you on behalf your daughter. I agree with the opinion that children carry their family values into adulthood. Make her and be proud of her. She saved a life at such a tender age.

Mrs Ali : Mashaa Allah officers Travis and Balance. Alhamdulilah

After Ali Moh showed off the guests, Madina carried Shi to her room where they made fun and joked alot to give her the distraction from officers.

Madina: (Touching her armpit) Habib! Habib!

Shi: (Laughing) Hibib! Habib!

Madina:(Showing her stretched arms) You are awesome my dear. You deserve something this big.

Shi: I like your decision to support police. I have always wanted to be military. I didn't know madam Taa Square was in military.

Madina: That is how most of us women end up unnoticed.

Shi: Can't she spend with us here today?

Madina: Let's go for her. Can't we ?

Madina led the way as she led Shi to the restaurant where they found Ali Moh and the wife winding up their congratulatory messages to the officers. They all turned to look at Madina and Shi.

Shi: Dad I have come to request you to allow Max's mum to spend here with us. I want her to tell me more about Army.

Ali: (Consults wife) We've no problem with that request Shi.

Madina went for Taa's hands before hugging and kissing Travis and waving Balance goodnight. Both Madina, Taa and Shi walked back into Madina's room. Shi didn't wait for before interrogating her.

Shi: Mama Max, when did Join the army ?

Taa: After secondary school. I was 19 years.

Shi: You trained for how many years?

Taa: One year. There after we were sent to our duty post.

Shi: Thank you for your time. I have talk to Madina before she sleeps

Taa: Welcome. Continue being a good girl.

Shi: Thanks

Shi walked into the bedroom of Madina and found she was following her Facebook and other social media accounts.

Shi: Hi should I come in?

Madina: Come in. Are you done?

Shi: Yes. Are you busy?

Madina: Not really. Can I ask you a question?

Shi: You can ask. What is it?

Madina: About Matar. How's he?

Shi: He's okay. What do you ask?

Madina: I think I like him. You know I visited his home recently. A very humble family

Shi: I have gone to his place too. Do you remember?

Madina: Yes. Do you know what?

Shi: No. What is it?

Madina: I like him. In him you have a good friend. He has really inspired to be think about my life. You too. I thank you for loving and spending your time with me despite our differences. I love you so much Shi.

Shi: Than you . You have really helped me too. Assignment, dressing, toilet, everything I need. You know mum and dad are always busy. How worried when you go where they were saying. I'll Miss you!

Madina : Don't worry. Everything work for our best. Okay

Shi: Okay. Can I go sleep as you organize Max's mum?

Madina: (Rising. Both walked to the sitting room) Goodnight. Let me join her immediately.

Madina escorted Shi to her room after biding Max's mum goodnight. She returned immediately and reunited with Taa as they shared and bounded together.

Madina: Thank you for trusting me.

Taa: Why do you say that?

Madina: People like you have seen everything. I feel very naked before you. Thank you

Taa: Not really. I just like your connection with people. It's not easy to be you. I can't be you.

Madina: I don't understand. What do you mean?

Taa: I know you're between hard ground and rock on to disentangle Maxima. Aren't you?

Madina: (Laughs) You've already known what none ever imagined. Do you now understand what I meant?

Taa: (Cheekily) You are very intelligent to be this beautiful again. I think Allah over rewarded you Madina

Madina: I'm not even a quarter of your beauty. With a kid but you still look like a girl.

Taa: Life has never been fair, you know. You better sleep hungry but respected. Chief hasn't given us peace at all. I have used alot of my time managing my husband from chief's traps than my life.

Madina: What could be the Matter between them?

Taa: At first they made me believe he had an affair with Mbula, chief's wife but no. I did my research. It is about ancestral land belonging to my husband but neighbors chief's land. They calculated to use this case to eliminate without anybody knowing.

Madina: Do you mean what you're saying. Who else knows this?

Taa: You should be asking yourself what interest does Maxima have in Mulo case apart from bounced takeover plan?

Madina: Are you confirming that land is their plan B?

Taa: Exactly. A part from the land I have just said, that area along the river has got some mineral deposits, my husband and Chunye do not know. Saldana and Maxima know. AB Major knew about it recently.

Madina: No wonder Saldana is protect these people with her sweat and blood.

Taa: May Allah protect that lady. She has been sharing all the intelligence with me when she realized that my husband was too loyal to Chief and that is how I have survived.

Madina: Now I know the big picture. Many are just caught in this war without knowing what is at stake. Thank Allah I'm you've illuminated me. I don't know why Allah has connected me with these children?

Taa: What is wrong with children?

Madina: Your coming here what's my idea. It was Shi's. How would I have known this without her involvement?

Taa: I would have told you. After all we're now a team. Aren't we.

Madina: (sad) I know. You know many don't trust me. They think I'm immoral and wasted. Just imagine such talks directed towards somebody's child?

Taa: That was longtime ago. What they don't know is that you are the most descent lady around. Should I tell you something?

Madina: What is it. Tell me!

Taa: Even Maxima they think has had you hasn't done so. Disapprove me?

Madina: How did you know?

Taa: Saldana told me she has been watching over you through her agents. She wanted to give you the job she has given but she discovered you have no gun handling skill. But don't worry I'll help you to learn and take the job.

Madina: What about you. Isn't it permanent and pensionable?

Taa: I Maybe needed back in my country anytime when a new regime takes over in North West of Mu country. My first husband was murdered during liberation war. I escaped narrowly. Several Army personnel guarding politicians died during that upheaval. They even followed me up to here but Saldana managed to inform the government to intercept them before reaching here. Do you understand now?

Madina: All that happened to you but you're still alive?

Taa: I had 1000 reasons to be a live but now I have 1000+1
reason. Do you where 1 has come from?

Madina: No. Tell me?

Taa: That's you. You must live your dream. We can afford a society where people live at the periphery of the society. You deserve the peak. I have also been ministered to by the same children. I had given up I develop phobia for things I knew. I hated action, war simply because my husband die but I couldn't save him. I have been condemning myself. Imagine in the army swimming against waves is a basic training , but what did I do when my only child was drowning?

Madina: Did you rescue him?

Taa: No. You didn't hear the news of a young girl called Lin, the daughter of teacher GJ from Ra Primary is the one who rescued my daughter?

Madina: The highly publicized news about life saving angel Lin and Max. So Max is actually your boy?

Taa: I cried the whole night after that incident. By I swore to take charge as Allah leads my destiny. I started training immediately. I now know nobody can condemn you but you can condemn yourself through defeatist attitude.

Madina: You've really inspired than I thought I was already.

Taa: It can never be the way Matar's team inspired. The way they spoke to me at the station through prophecy plus rescue to may daughter. I realized my rescue would only be guaranteed through these weaker vessels.

Madina: I thought I was dreaming and fantasizing and even questioning my motivation to chase what these kids have been chasing but here you're a beneficiary of what I have began installing reluctantly?

Taa: Now do you understand why you are my +1 reason to be a live?

Taa found a special place in the heart of Madina. They both went to bed with broader spectrum of the mission a head of them. Madina understood the bigger purpose of her mission and she felt the bigger push to steer forward. She felt indempted to Matar's Team and the entire security apparatus through the two officers, Travis and Balance. With the new determination, they were more prepared to go full throat to protect the people they loved and Mu community. They were more inspired by Makers vision for more women involvement in the development affairs of Mu Empire. They were firmly guided and believe they were the fulfilment of that prophecy through the philanthropy and empowerment mission of Saldana.
