At Wisdom's home...his Mum was laying on the bed when the husband entered the room. He yawned greatly, showing he was very sleepy.
     He laid beside his wife and yawned again;"There's nothing fun to watch on TV."
     "Goodnight darling", his wife bade him with a kiss on the forehead.
     "I'll be attending the seventeenth anniversary of Heavens Gate Hotel tomorrow. As one of the prominent Professors in Lagos, I've been invited", he said proudly.
     "If I tell him that's where Wisdom is, he won't want to go again", she thought.
     "Will you follow me tomorrow?", he requested.
     "Unfortunately...tomorrow I'll be going for our monthly shopping."
     "First time I'm beginning to begin to miss Wisdom's presence", he moaned.
     "Beginning to begin?", his wife found it ridiculous and laughed gently, "You don't want to accept the fact", she sat up.
     "What fact?", Mr Okechukwu acted to be ignorant of what she was talking about.
     "Forget it then! Go for the occasion alone", she went back to sleep.
     "Okay fine! I miss Wisdom a lot", he gave in.
     "You're already late but I'm you miss our son though", she giggled. He groaned with disappointment.
     Careen and Wisdom had just served the last Spanish guests his dinner and left his room. They were on the 6th floor. They saw two huge men in black walking down the corridor. They looked at each other for a while and decided to creep after them.
     The mean heard some footsteps and turned back. Both Careen and Wisdom were quick however and turned to a door, pretending to be waiting for the door to be opened for them. Careen tapped her foot on the floor multiple times to feign impatience. Wisdom did something stupid, waving at them, smiling so widely.
     "Drop your hand down and turn to the door you fool!", Careen whispered, covering her mouth so they won't see her talking. Wisdom did as she said thereafter.
     The men continued with their journey. Careen gestured for Wisdom to follow her behind. They crept behind the men who were also walking at a slow pace. They sensed something suspicious again and turned back the second time.
     The second time still, both of them were quick enough and turned to a door, pretending to be waiting for the door to be opened. The huge men's suspicion grew very much...they gazed at them with curious looking faces.
     From Wisdom's side view, he saw they were being looked at intently. He began to fidget and did not even know when he knocked at the door. He gasped, realizing his mistake and Careen turned to him looking angry.
     "What did you just do?", she muttered.
     "I'm sorry", he apologized with a whisper.
     The door was opened and they went in, faking smiling faces in a composed manner. Wisdom closed the door. The men decided to overlook what happened and one signalled to the other they should keep walking.
     "You two haven't yet told me what you came here for", the resident expressed a confused visage, staring at them. It was a very beautiful brown skinned lady of their age or thereabout.
     "I think we just got into the wrong room. We're very sorry Ma", Wisdom apologized.
     "Weren't you told the room number?", she questioned.
     "We've forgotten the room number. We're sorry", Careen also apologized.
     After all the drama, they left the room without the lady raising an alarm. Careen did not see the men again and became furious with Wisdom.
     "Who knows? Following those men would have proven something to us", she groaned.
     "I'm...", Wisdom wanted saying sorry but she interrupted him, telling him to keep silent. They walked down the opposite direction.
     *                      *                     *
     Both of them were in their apartment, dressed in their sleeping wears. They were on Wisdom's bed. Careen was complaining to Sarah what Wisdom had done. Wisdom however, was listening to music with his headphone, dancing to the beat as he sat on the bed.
     "...and that was how we lost those men", she said to Sarah over the earpiece, gawping at Wisdom who never even noticed it. Expecting a response, she was surprised not to hear any from Sarah. Sarah was asleep on her bed by the laptop at home.
     "Sarah!", she called her name in a high tone.
     Sarah immediately woke up from sleep and said;"I'm awake! I heard everything."
     Careen sensed she was telling a lie and asked;"What was I talking about?"
     "Uhmmm...how you and Wisdom are getting along?", she guessed.
     "So I was complaining to you for five minutes or so and you weren't even listening?", Careen got annoyed. She turned and saw Wisdom still dancing to his music and snatched the headphone from him. He turned to her, totally confounded by what she did.
     "I'm sorry babe. I was very sleepy", Sarah fessed up.
     "Okay dear! I'm sorry for being pesky so sleep tight", Careen replied ironically. Sarah tried to cool down her temper but she begged Sarah to stop talking so she won't get mad the more.
     "Goodnight Careen", Sarah got provoked and closed up her laptop, before she went to bed.
     "I deduce from what I've noticed that you can be a short-tempered person", Wisdom told her in a low voice hoping she won't get mad with him.
     "That's the only way things to be done would get done", she replied reluctantly because she was still not happy with him.
    "That's why we've been able to accomplish our mission as soon as you snatched my headphone RUDELY from me right?", Wisdom spoke with sarcasm. Careen had nothing to say and kept quiet, looking randomly round the room except for Wisdom.
     "Tomorrow's the anniversary and I bet this will end tomorrow because the criminals would want to hide somewhere for their illegal drug business", he said to her.
     "Then how about those two huge guys we saw? They probably must be doing something by now...something evil", she replied.
     "There will be plenty visitors tomorrow...likely criminals also involved in the drug trafficking", Wisdom smiled faintly.
     Careen thought about what he said for a while, and gestured;"You're right!"
     "Now you get it", he gestured, "All we have to do is to wake up early tomorrow and know what to do, if possible before the event starts."
     Careen got up immediately and traipsed to her room without saying a word. "Uhmmm...Is this a way of showing you're with me?", asked Wisdom as he watched her in confusion.
     "Yeah! Thanks a lot for making me feel better", she replied.
     "Woah! You're serious?", he got surprised, "I was able to make you feel better in a short time?"
     Careen leaned by the door frame and replied casually;"See you early tomorrow partner." She went in to her room and turned off the lights.
     "Goodnight then", Wisdom bade her. He picked up his headphone and wore it back on to listen to music. He laid on his bed, facing upwards.
     He took off the headphone after a while and closed his eyes to pray a short prayer. "Tomorrow's an important day. Lord make me be a source of pride...make me prove myself to people."
