Wednesday, 10:13am Luke comes again to Zeus’s house and as he arrives the compound he sees some men outside the house, painting it, he stood by his car and watched them for sometime before going in; he entered the house and saw Zeus sitting down and discussing with Hades “Hey Luke” Zeus said “Zeus” “Good thing you’re here, have a seat” Zeus said and he sat “Hey Bro” Hades said “Hades” Luke said and they jammed their knuckles lightly “Hades here will be travelling with the others to Ghana for a job” Zeus said to Luke “alright” “While you and I will leave for Abu Dhabi this Friday, we have to discuss something with someone” “Alright no problem”
“Hades, I leave it all to you” Zeus said “yes boss” Hades said and left “Luke come with me” Zeus said getting up and Luke followed him and they both went outside the house for a walk round the compound “am doing a repainting” Zeus said as they looked at the people painting “I love the color” Luke said “Sorry I wasn’t around when you came back from Abuja but Ade told me you did the job and News also confirmed him dead, Good job” Zeus said as they walked “Thank you” “I have made a transfer of 4million dollars to your off shore account, you can check your e-mail” “Thank you sir” Luke said smiling “Do you know why I asked you to kill General?” Zeus asked “No” “General Tanko was one of the closest to my father and part of the plot that killed him after they discovered my father had genuine plans for the country and they knew it wouldn’t favor them heavily if he had won the election for presidency.
You must have heard of the assassination of Dr. Jason Heineken “ “Yeah, I did, years ago” “That was my father; I promised Tanko that I would Take back everything he had stolen from us as well as his life” he explained and Luke was silent “On Friday, we leave for Abu Dhabi, so we can get information on how to deal with one of our ex-presidents who have failed this nation and is part of the reason why this country is devaluating today” Abu Dhabi, Yas Island. 10:00pm This is the first time Luke is coming out to the beautiful part of the world; as they stepped out the airport, a red Ferrari stops in front of them and a man comes out “Welcome sir” he said in Arabic accent “Thank you Saheed” Zeus said as the man collected their bags and put it in the boot “Let’s go” Zeus said as he entered the car; Luke was a little surprised;
Saheed walked into the airport building, Luke then entered the other seat ‘First time, huh?” Zeus said “Never dreamt of this” Luke said “It’s real now” Zeus said and started the car and sped off “Wow!!! Come on, slow down you wanna kill us” Luke said as he was frightened by the speed as he put his right hand firmly on the dash board even though he was on seat belt “(Laughs) Relax, it’s not my first time, I’ve been doing this since I became 18” Zeus said as he drove past beautiful buildings; the street lights were amazing, the trees were glowing, buildings shining with multi colored lights.
Luke was attracted to every beautiful thing he saw and suddenly Zeus slowed down “Look” Zeus said pointing to his left “Waw, what’s that place?” “Ferrari world” Zeus said “Ferrari world? That means they manufacture Ferraris there?” he asked “No, it’s an amusement park, a fun place where children and adults go for fun, for roller coaster rides and all that, it’s a tourist attraction” ‘God damn, it’s beautiful” “You should see it from above”
“The building seems endless” Luke said “It covers 86,000 square meters and it is the leading tourist attraction in the middle East” “Waw” “Have you heard of Formula Ross ?” Zeus asked “No? What’s that?”
“The world’s fastest roller coaster” “Hmmm, right” “It’s here in the Ferrari world” Zeus said Luke was happy with his life right now because he felt like he was on top of the earth . Zeus stopped an a small bridge then pointed east “Look at those buildings over there” Zeus pointed “You mean the skyscrapers” Luke said “Yes, it’s the Etihad Tower and is owned by a friend of mine. He’s part of the reason why we’re here”
“Those buildings were used in Fast and Furious 7” Luke said “Exactly” “They must have cost a fortune” “It cost 2.5 billion Dirham, Arab money” Zeus said ‘Yeah breath taking” “Tower 1 is a hotel and residential, Tower 2 is residential, Tower 3 is offices, Tower 4 is residential and Tower 5 is also residential. Sheikh Imran Aziz owns the towers and he lives in one of them; tomorrow we’ll go see him” Zeus said and drove off… They arrived in front of a gate that automatically opened and they drove in; flowers and trees covered the place and you couldn’t see any building but after a left turn and a right they arrived in front of a magnificent semi-glass house; they both stepped out the car “this is beautiful” Luke said; by his left was a swimming pool with lights at the bottom of the water “This is my house in Abu Dhabi and you’re the second person am bringing here after Imran Aziz” Zeus said as they walked to the glass door.
Zeus touched the glass door with his five fingers and a green light scanned his fingers and the door opened “(Chuckles) You’ve got to be kidding me, so stuffs like this are real” Luke said “It’s agood thing am educating you then” Zeus said and Luke laughed “I mean, I thought they were all fiction like Mission Impossible and other fiction movies.
This is good” Luke said as they entered inside “The rooms are that way” Zeus said pointing “The last room on the left is mine” “Yes boss” Luke said “Do you like cars” Zeus asked “I love them like myself” Luke said “Good then come with me, let me see how well you love them” they both went through another door leading to another part of the house and went down a set of stairs and then Zeus walked to a wall and put his right thumb in a small device on the wall and the wall opened and revealed something amazing; Luke’s eyes widened in disbelief as his mouth was opened “Jesus Christ! What the fuck?” he quickly moved closer to the car and touched the bonnet like he just saw Jesus “O my God” he exclaimed “(Chuckles) Do you know the car?” Zeus asked smiling “Do I know this car? Are you asking my that? This is a beast!!
My God” Luke was excited “A fast car” Zeus said “Not just a fast car” he said as he walked round it “ This is Lykan Hyper Sport, the third most expensive car after Bughatti Veneno. It cost nothing less than 3.4million US dollars and runs on 3.7L Twin-Turbo Flat-Six Engine and is the first ever fast car to be manufactured in the middle east; it’s also known that it can accelerate to 62mph in 2.8secs.
I love this car” Luke just lecture Zeus on his own car and he was amazed “Waw, amazing; alright Professor Fast cars, you win” Zeus said “This car is amazing, I never dreamt of seeing fast cars talk less of this monster; this car beat the world’s fastest car Bughatti Vernon in price” “You seem to own the car better than myself” Zeus said “(Chuckles) No. come on”
“You bought this car?” Luke asked “Yap, 3.4million dollars as you said, no more no less” Zeus said and walked to the door and opened it by touching the glass “Ever since I bought it, I’ve never been in it, so why don’t you be the first” Zeus said “You mean, I should get in the car” Luke was surprised “Come on, get your ass over here” Zeus said and Luke entered the car and sat comfortably as he grabbed the wheels “Press that button over there” Zeus said pointing to the steering wheel and Luke pressed a button beside the wheel and a small screen was revealed “The start password is 1991” Zeus said and Luke pressed the number and the car started, he then stepped on the clutch and the engines revived; Luke smiled as he took a deep breath “The sound of the beast.
Isn’t she amazing” Luke said and stepped on the clutch to and fro and it kept raising the roar of the car; Zeus smiled “Come on let’s go, we’ve got business tomorrow” Zeus said and left.
