Episode 5
The time was fast approaching for the operation to take place.
The two friends were getting ready for their mission that was tag as ” mission Impossible 4 ” by James after drafting out the mental map of the church.
” the time is now 8:30pm, we need to get ready to avoid any unnecessary waste of time ” James looked at the wristwatch he was putting on for the hundredth time since dusk.
” I’m coming!, let me put the tools that we need for the mission inside the bag. ” Peter replied. He was carrying a black school bag which contained a pair of scissors, a hammer, a knife, a rope, two rechargeable touchlight, a saw blade and other items.
They were Putting on a black coat and black timberland to match.
James gave Peter one of the toy gun that he was holding.
” guy!, i dey fear for this operation! ” Peter voiced his fears. ” i don tell you before sey this operation must to dey successful, even the angels dey our side for this matter. No forget say ‘ heaven dey help people wey don decide to take step. ” James patted his friend on the back. ” what if them come discover sey this gun na toy gun, na im be say our own don finish be that. ” Peter scratched his head in confusion.
” guy!, you be fear fear man, na you wan tell them say na toy gun? ” Peter shook his head in the negative. ” then them no go fit know say this gun na toy gun. Make we dey go jor! ” James walked out of the house closely followed by Peter.
In no time they were at the point where they first saw the sign post of the Church. ” no worry after today them go change your name to ‘SANCTUARY of Confusion’ ” James smiled after looking at the sign post which stood as a gallant soldier.
” wetin you talk? ” Peter asked looking around to see if anybody was watching. ” i no talk anything, i only dey tell the sign post say them go soon change im name to SANCTUARY OF CONFUSION. ” James replied with a wide grin.
They took the same route that they used in the morning but this time they were not looking at the pointer since James has the map in his head.
They arrived at the gate of the Church and discovered that the lightings were on. Peter wanted to make a comment but James quickly covered his mouth with his palm.
” from now onward we will use the code of communication that we learnt in the afternoon. No more talking do you understand! ” James whispered into his ears, Peter gave a nod to signify that he understood. James allowed an interval of a minute to go by before carefully removing his palm from Peter’s mouth. Peter shot him a wicked look.
We will have to go through this gutter, i guess that it will lead us to an opening in the fence, we can use there to enter the church compound.
” But… ” Peter was pulled into the gutter before he could complete his statement. They crawled inside the gutter towards the back of the church. They discovered that there there was an opening in the fence of the church that allows water to empty into the gutter when the flood is much, the only problem was that the circular opening was covered by iron rod that was constructed in a table mat form.
” give me the saw blade ” James whispered to Peter. Peter gave him the saw blade and watched him saw the iron one after the other. When he was tired of sawing the iron, he handed over the saw to Peter to continue from where he stopped.
Finally they succeeded in sawing all the Iron and crawled quietly into the church compound.
” that work being H… ” James covered Peter’s mouth before he would complete the statement. ” you want to spoil this Mission for me! ” James whispered to Him.
” Who is there!!! ” Someone called out and flashed a touch in their direction.
