Recall

1988.

Little Lex was just a boy of 13. But he didn't look it. He was way too big for his age, and acted accordingly.

His mother was a busy woman. She was always travelling. Leaving Lex alone in the house with enough money to take care of his little needs. Lex was never bothered but he was a social outcast. An introvert.

It was during that moment he discovered his father's journals.

He was on the verge of commiting suicide, as he was about to kick the chair that held his weight, something called him. It whispered to his little ears. Soft and comforting, it called Lex.

Lex followed this voice, it seem to come from his late's dad's room. The room his mother warned that he should never enter. As he turned the handle, nothing happened. It was locked.

Lex took a deep breathe, and shouldered the weak door off its hinges. The soothing voice can be heard louder now.

It's coming from the bed-drawer.

Lex went to the drawer beside his dad's bed. Covered in dust, he pulled the handle.

Huh? Lex was perplexed, a book?

Lex drew the drawer compartment out completely.

Books.

He picked one of them.

THE DAVINCI CODE.

He skimmed through, his eyes twinkled at this new found discovery.

Books.

He picked another.

THE GREEK MYTHOLOGY.

Lex's senses were tingling. Hurriedly, he picked up five books, replaced the drawer compartment and went to his room.

If mum asks what happened to the door, I'd tell her it was burglars.

THE BRINGER OF LIGHT.

Outside, the earth was dark. But the sounds of the awaken could be heard.  Telling the world that a new day was born.

Lex still isn't seeing the connection. He has finally deciphered the message on the wall, but he saw no connection.

HADES - KING OF THE UNDERWORLD.

BRINGER OF LIGHT - LUCIFER.

THREE-HEADED DOG - HADES' PET.

This was what Lex wrote on paper. His head ached. He wanted to know the link between these three things.

Sure, the three-headed dog is Hades' pet. He had forgotten the pet's name. The bringer of light, lucifer. That's the meaning of the name, Lucifer.

But what has all this got to do with the Ayodeles?! Lex became dizzy.

He walked backwards, collapsing into the nearest couche. His shirt damp. His palm was sweaty. He closed his eyes to think.

The bringer of light.. Bringer of light... Hades.. Underworld...

ILLUMINATI.

With a jolt, Lex got up. Seeing a light in the tunnel, he dailed Bob's number.

He picked immidiately.

"Hello?"

"Bob? I want everything you can get on Godwin Ayodele— everything. Ask questions, search his Facebook page, Instagram, anything! I want to get everything on him. His net-worth. Including the primary school he attended. Get me every single thing. Send it to me via my WhatsApp."

"You got it"

The line went dead.

Ten blocks away from the Ayodele's home, Y hid behind the bush, watching the police men undercover, pretending to be civilians.

Very smart. But I can see you all.

Y checked his watch. 3:05AM. Who stays out this late except the bureau? They want to be the FBI so bad. Who came up with this dumb I dear anyways?

Y didn't care. He brought his left wrist to view. The time showed, he swiped the screen, it showed a homescreen. Like a smartphone. But this time, it's a smartwatch.

He dailed the number: 666.

It rang.

A mechanical voice answered.

"What is the password?"

Lex whispered. "STRAGES."

The mechanical voice replied.

"Granted. The wise one shall be with you shortly."

Y waited for a moment. And he was put through.

"Speak. My child."

"It is done, Master."

"I know. I've seen the wall."

"But how did you-"

Y registered. "OH"

"You still have doubts about my powers my child. Haha! I am god. I will heal all sicknesses. And these puny demi-gods known as politicians shall all be wiped out. They have eaten-up the earth for their own personal vandetas, making these people suffer. I will bring a new order."

As the voice said all this, A chill enveloped Y.

"My lord, you are worthy!" Y worshipped. And then he continued.

"But my lord there seems to be a problem."

"What is the problem."

Y looked towards the Ayodele's mansion, and then to the car packed three blocks from it, carrying a government plate number.

"There seems to be someone in the house."

"I know, he's the reason I sent you there"
