Chapter 1: Terror in the Rain-Drenched Warehouse
Lagos on a rainy night. The smell of rust and salt air mingled in the wind, and the downpour hammering against the tin roof sounded like Elder Ngozi’s goatskin drum, buzzing right through Kofi’s eardrums. Huddled behind a neatly stacked pile of cocoa bean sacks, his fingers were numb from the cold, clutching tight to a crumpled manifest.
Cold sweat slid down his spine, soaking through his bleached white shirt. His heart hammered against his ribs, threatening to burst free. From the depths of the warehouse came the grating screech of metal on metal—not a container being unloaded, but something more deliberate. Like someone forcing open a safe. He remembered Amina’s warning: this shipment contained the precursor components for the Time-Sand Key. It could not, under any circumstances, fall into the hands of the mob.
Now, the men in black clothes were closing in. Their footsteps echoed on the wet concrete, each step landing with the weight of a tightened nerve.
He counted the intervals between the boots. Three pauses, one surge of speed. Trained. A search formation. Rain dripped through a hole in the roof, landing cold on the back of his neck. He bit his lip, tasting a metallic tang of blood from where the skin had broken.
The ink on the manifest had run in the humidity, the numbers smudged into a blur, but Kofi had already etched the contents into his memory: twelve items, serial numbers T-07 through T-18. Enough to make Abdullah’s men lose their minds.
