Wow, that one got my heart racing, @ubani1! This story is well-written, nicely paced, and has some great dramatic elements.
This bit of dialog is perfect:
“Probably,” but Dele was frowning. “But I would have preferred a heads up so that when I found a gun pointed at my face I would not pee in my pants. Sir.”
Even when he's recovering from the fear of a lifetime, he has the presence of mind to use "Sir" in a rather ironic way.
Well done!
