He wanted to advance towards him, but he decided otherwise. For one, what's the advantage of him going after Dotun? What will he be gaining from such activity? He could not possibly fight Dotun, nor can he accost him without exposing himself. And Dotun is as dangerous as ever.
Tade quickly left the burial with a heavy heart.

The Monday after Chuks burial, Mr Kunle Falade called him.
"Good morning sir." Tade said immediately after picking the call.
"Good Morning, Tade. I want to see you in my office immediately."
"Sir, we have International Jurisprudence right now and I can't afford......"
"Okay, what about after that class?"
"I will have two other classes after that class."
Mr Kunle paused for a moment. "See me by 3pm today."
"Okay sir." Tade dropped the call.

Throughout the whole day, Tade was unsettled. In as much as he rather friendly with Mr Kunle, he felt that something was not right. Why he had that feeling, he did not know. He could not even place it. As soon as he was done for the day, he carried his bag and left, assigning most of his work to his assistant.
"Tade, where are you going?" Tade turned and saw Wande. His heart shook and he swallowed saliva. Wande was on black and white, customary of Law students. However, her black skirt was so short that he could see her fresh, sweet thighs and she opened a button too much, showing her cleavage. Tade could swear that she wore no bra as he could see her nipples.
Two guys whistled past her, emphasising the manner of dress she wore. Luckily for Tade, she now had another love interest, although he was not sure how they were going.

"Wande, wwwhat's up?" Tade caught himself stammering, causing a snicker from Wande.

"Na wa o! This small dressing is making you to choke? You don turn SU?" Wande joked.
Tade smiled and coordinated himself well.

"No na, you sabi say you are too much. Even the strongest players will feel like novice in front of you, especially like this."

Wande laughed heartily with Tade joining. When they were done teasing themselves, Wande asked him a question.
"Tade, what's wrong with you today?"

"Nothing."
"What do you mean by nothing? Your eyes were wondering in class today and your mind was not in the class. I know that something is bothering you."
"Its nothing." Tade replied. He may be more friendly with her but it does not remove the fact that she was one of them.
"I have somewhere to go." He shrugged her off and quickly walked away.

He stayed off the faculty until it was 3 pm and walked straight to Mr Kunle's office.
"Good afternoon sir." He met Mr Kunle at the entrance as he saw a visitor off.
"Good afternoon." Mr Kunle answered before ushering him inside.
"I heard about your friend, Tade. He started. Am sorry about what happened to him." Tade nodded his head in appreciation.
"I wanted to answer your question, the one about your brother." Tade's eyes lit up, while Mr Kunle bowed his head a bit and scratched his forehead.
"Andrew was a good friend I met while in school. We both belonged to the 'Evolvers', on anti-cult group. He was the leader of that group before he was killed." Mr Kunle said.
"Do you know the saying: Love your neighbor as yourself? Andrew disobeyed that law repeatedly. We all knew that our lives were not safe doing such stuff, but we were young and wild, with strong passions to change this school, just like you and your friend. But the fact is that there are some things too big to change, some people too big to challenge and so acts too big to be safe. Andrew did all of these."

"We went after cult members and we were strong enough to stop a good number of them. But Andrew always wanted to cut the head of the snake, and he charged in recklessly."
Mr Kunle paused for a moment and continued. "he went after the Ravens and their leader Kareem, who was the most feared cult member in the south-west. I tried talking him off it but he was too stubborn and refused to listen. He managed to arrest Kareem, but he was killed before he could enjoy his victory."
"You see Kareem was an indispensable tool to many important people in this country, so they arranged his release before the day ended. Kareem did not rest but immediately kidnapped Andrew and killed him. The night Andrew got Kareem arrested was the night he died."

"As soon as he was dead, the 'Evolvers' scattered and at the end I joined a cult group." Tade hairs stood at that revelation. "I could have continued but Jesus arrested me, so I left the group, though I barely made it alive."

Mr Kunle looked at Tade intensely. "I can't support what cults do, I have seen enough of they do to know better. Many of them don't live good lives after and very few manage to leave cultism alive."
Tade was uncomfortable with all what he heard. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you may think of joining a cult in order to avenge your friend."
"God forbid!" Tade shouted,snapping his fingers backwards.
"I have heard that before from people who eventually joined and I know that cult guys come after your kind of person. So I warn you, don't join any cult. You can leave"
Re: Tade - The Rise Of An Activist. by rapmike(m): 3:55am On Jun 11, 2015
While Tade was pondering on what Mr Kunle had said, Dotun and the Red Axe were preparing for a showdown with the Ravens.
The Ravens had changed leadership recently, meaning that someone killed their former leader. While the death of their leader, who is better known as Nightcrawler pained Scorpion, he did not see too much to it, but the following week the Ravens killed Jimmy Flow and that can't be accepted. He swore that if it meant sending the whole town ablaze, he will avenge Jimmy Flow.

So finally, the showdown Dotun wanted finally came. He had been waiting for this moment, when he will have the chance to finish off the idiot called Shina in his department. Since that day that he challenged Dotun, the leader of the Made Men had bid his time and waited for his chance.
Now it has arrived.
Scorpion looked at everyone around him and smiled. Every able body member was present, even those on assignments and short-term missions. Only the sick and those on long, perilous missions were absent.
His look suddenly changed from happy to serious.
I am happy and at the same time sad. Scorpion said. "I am happy, because I can see my comrades in arms all around me. I am sad that everyone that supposed to be here is not here." This statement brought a sea of murmurs and sighs. Scorpion waited for them to finish their little 'meetings' before coughing aloud, bringing everyone's attention back.
"Jimmy Flow, one of our brothers was killed yesterday by those grunts called the Ravens. We have tolerated them long enough and it was my fault, thinking that their leader will hold them in check. Now that leader is dead. Scorpion spoke, veins threatening to burst out of his head. That leader was killed by them and then they turned to Jimmy, our own Jimmy! Will you accept that?"
"No!" The answer was unanimous.
Scorpion then walked forward and brought out a strange axe, which seemed to be coated in blood. He then moved and cut his finger with it, bringing blood forth before passing it to Dotun, who did the same and passed it to the next person. In time, all of them have pierced themselves with the axe.
"The fact that we know peace does not mean that we can't fight a war. Therefore, I declare that all members of the Ravens either on campus or in town is a persona non grata on this campus and will be treated as such!" This brought out cheers from everybody.
"Millicent!" Scorpion called out immediately as a young man came forth with some papers.
"Have everyone received this paper?" They all waved their copies in the air. "Those names and locations are the names of all those in the Raven and where they live. Dotun will lead the assault to the places that are marked while you can kill the others."
"Today, I declare war on the Ravens!" Scorpion said, throwing the axe on the ground

They all shouted, many with anguish as they made their move to different places. Dotun's eyes and mind was fixed at a particular fellow.
That fellow was Shina.

Moving through the grasses and thickets covering their existence, Dotun and Mayowa led the rest to the Ravens hideout where Blade and Kira were gisting and stroking their ladies. Within a minute, both Blade and Kira dropped dead, while Dotun moved to burn the hideout, seizing and destroying all their weapons. From there, they all went to different locations. Dotun, having picked Mayowa and Sunday to floow him, made for Shina's house on Ede road, in town.

Shina was runinh a party with some of his friends and their girls when Dotun burst in.

Everyone, on the ground! Dotun said, shooting into the air. Immediately everyone found themselves on the ground, with Sunday making sure everyone complied. The fear of shotguns ( carried by Mayowa) and rifles ( carried by Dotun and Sunday) was enough to make most people obey without resistance. Shina, who was a cultist, was not to be easily swayed.
Dotun, what are you doing here? He bellowed. How dare you attack this gathering. Oya boys! Shina shouted, calling for backup. No one responded. He looked around, a bit stunned. Guys! He shouted again, a bit of panic evident in his voice. Still no answer.

No one is coming to help you. Dotun said, walking calmly and quietly. You dared me, Shina.You dared to dare me during an incourse and you think you can escape scot-free? My guys, whats the secret rule of our cult?

Forgiveness is a sin! Sunday and Mayowa chorused.
And that's how it is, Shina. Your people killed an important person to us and now we are here to pay you back.
Shina's eyes widened as he tried to make an appeal with them but Dotun ignored him, sending him down with a shot. As Shina fell to the ground, his colleagues in the Ravens were following suit.
The Bla.ck Axe was painting the town red with blood!

Guys, I just managed to update this tonight. I will keep trying to update as much as at least once every week, but I will need some understanding from you guys.

Re: Tade - The Rise Of An Activist. by rapmike(m): 3:11pm On Jul 06, 2015
Tade woke up suddenly, gun-shots raining all over the area. Shittu and Made were already up, and quivering under their beds. Tade joined them, a mixture of fear and anger flowing through his body.

"Shittu, whats happening?" he manage to whisper to Shittu. Shittu looked at him gravely and shook his head. Made bravely made a move towards Tade but was stopped mid-way as their room door was burst open.

"Hey, stand up, stand up!" Yemi, one of the remaining members of the Ravens said, looking at Made. Made quietly obeyed and was dealt a dirty slap for not answering quickly enough.

"Brother, Brother, wetin I do you? I swear I no sabi........."
Phaw! Another slap came in, sending Made flying to the bunk where Shittu was. Fortunately for Shittu, he had held on to the bunk for dear life when the room was broken into, therefore he was moved alongside his bed and was not caught.

"Stand up, you idiot! You think I have the time to be playing around?" He dragged Made up and brought out his pistol to incite more fear into Made.

"Please, Please sir, don't kill me. I will be a good..yee!" Another slap followed his word as he was shoved to the ground.

That act saved him, because as he landed on the floor and laid there,Yemi moved to carry him.

"See, if you and the idiots shooting comply well, you will live. But if they f*ck-up and shoot, you will.........." He did not finish the statement before he was pummeled with bullets. Made shook with fright as he watched his assailant fall to the ground, and more fear entered into him when he saw members of the Blac.k Axe move towards him.

"Oga, make we silence am?" A young man of barely twenty asked.
"Leave am, him no be one of our targets. Mr Man, did you see anything?" Made shook his head.
Whack! A slap entered his body.
"I say did you see anything?" The second man asked. Made shook his head again, fear tying his mouth into knots.
Pow! Another slap followed. "Did you see anything?" He asked again. Made shook his head the third time.

"Omo Aye ni yin. O ye yin abi? Guy, je ka lo!" (You are a child of this world. You understand abi? Guy, let's go!). They both left the premises, leaving Made tongued tied.


The next day saw the extent ofthe damage; The Ravens were no more.Tade and co did not make too much out of it, only that there was one less cult group to bother about. But they did not observe that the wind was blowing differently.
A new current was about to flow through the school and carry Tade and co.
