116. COUNTLESS.


Time for Plan B.


***

6 days Later.


'To fight the UNTHINKABLE, you have to be willing and ready to do the UNTHINKABLE.' Chioma's refusal to get rid of those incriminating pictures was what prompted me to resort to that phrasal determination you just read.

***

"why are you crying?." I questioned Chioma the moment I walked into the sitting room and found her crying on the sofa. I just came back from office where I had endured an hectic day a result of the invasion from the Costoms at one of my Vehicle companies which took some hours to get solved. I met Chioma in the sitting room watching T.v with undivided attention and to avoid disturbing her, I headed straight to upstairs to my room to have a nice shower and change of cloths. Only to come back now to see her sniffing and crying. Since she's now part of my life, even though I prayed it to be a temporary one. I still had an obligation to tend to her worries. You know, based on past encounters with her, her H.I.V, if not quickly taken care of could become my AIDs. It was on that note, or textbook or whatever type of book you want to call it that I hurriedly approach her to find out whats wrong.

"Chy...talk to me...whats wrong with you..?" I asked again, when I realise that she wasn't ready to talk. She was really crying profusely. Who could have ever thought that the devil still has a crying app in her heart.

She sniffed hard and long enough for me to sit down beside her and started patting her on the back.

Then I remembered what we discussed jovially the previous night and wonder if that might be the cause of her cries.

"Chioma, pls stop crying... Don't tell me you're taking what I said yesterday seriously..." I paused to check her reaction but she only glanced at me briefly and restraightened her gaze forward.
"com'on...am joking ni nau...am not buying any sex doll to replace you nau...I thought you knew I was only trying to tease out the jealousy in you..."

"its....its....not that..." She manage to stutter that out.

Leaning closely, I asked her. "then what is it?"

"its...its...." She drew in a longful breath and wiped off the tear in her face.

Getting impatient, I asked."its who? What happened?"

"its Arthur....ah..gawd...damn it!.." She voiced out angrily.

Confusedly curious, I asked again. "what? Which Arthur..."

"How can he die like that?..." She leaned forward and it wasn't until she picked the remote controller of the dvd and after she pressed resume on it that I finally realise that her stupidity was out of this world.

I felt like slapping that her head wey long like the devil's walking stick to coma. How can she be crying because someone died in a movie. Help me ask her, is Arthur her family member? Abi na Merlin she relate with? She come dey cry because of a written script.

"how can they let him die like that..? When will albion be born now?" She faced me and gave me an inquiry look.

"2045. When you've probably retreive your senses." I stated mentally and stood up. I walked towards the dinning where my food was placed and began to eat.

I watched with the corner of my left eye as she continue lamenting about what happened at the end of MERLIN.

I was almost through with my dinner when the loud notification tone of the gate bell interrupted us.

I cast a glance at the heart-shaped wall clock to check the time. It was 23:00.

"are you expecting someone?" I asked Chioma who was still sitting infront of the T.v obviously still in grief of Arthur's death. Judging by the level of her stupidity, I won't be suprised if she decides to attend his funeral at Camelot.

"what? Who would I be expe..." She was interrupted by the gatebell again.

"well I don't know. It might be one of your boyfriends." I stated with a nonchallant tone.

"you're not serious. You think because you refuse to sleep with me, I will now be bringing..."

The ring rang again. I quickly washed my hands at the dinning sink and made to attend to the gate.

"where are you going?" Chioma asked when I was about opening the door to get out after I'd picked the gate's remote controller.

"to the gate na..."

"don't even think about..." The rest of her words trailed off as I closed the door and approach the gate.

***

The effect of the heavy push sent me stumbling into the sitting room. I nearly collided with the glass table situated in the middle before my body automatically marched its break.

"what tha hell is..." Chioma voiced at the new turn of events.

"get on your knees! Now!" The man behind the mask commanded.

I complied quickly and watched as Chioma with a frightened look and haste, got on her knees and started panicking.

"where's the lawyer's pictures!? where did you keep it!?" The second man barked out pointing his pistol at Chioma's face. His voice sending cold shivers down her spine. The first man stood closely beside Chioma with his gun romancing her sidehead.

"I...I...don't have...any pictures please..." Chioma stammered in a pleading tone.
"Liar!" The man thundered and once again, the effects of his coarsive voice could be felt running marathonically across the whole living room.

"no...am...am not...." Chioma pleaded again amid sobs.

"Kazy..." The man called his accomplice.

"yes." Kazy answered without missing gaze with Chioma.

"do you still have that ability to slap someone till they start telling you their virginity status?"

"am not sure...but we can find out..." He replied with a crooked grin which can be seen visibly behind the mask covering his face.

"am not lying... I don't have it anymore." Chioma stated sounding highly frightened.

"then you have nothing to worry about." He bent down and whispered some words in Chioma's ears. "the fear of Kazy's slap is the beginning of wisdom."

He concluded and got up. Untold amount of fear could be visibly seen on Chioma's face as the man's words began to form neck-twisting meanings in her mind.

"you have my green light Kazy...go ahead." He ordered and stepped back, leaving enough space for Kazy to mount position before Chioma who was carrying a pitiful look on her face.

"Darous...do something...please..." She begged with a sorry look on her face as Kazy was about to start.

"what do you want me to do?...?" I asked in a fretting tone.

"bottle...get some..." She was saying when a slap interrupted the actions of her vocal cords. She yelped in pain and I felt sorry for her. She longed for me to do something but there's nothing I could do. Or so I thought.

"please...make it stop..."

"again!" The man ordered again. And Kazy complied while Chioma continue to beg further.

"give them what they want Chy...thats what can stop them..." I stated in an attempt to make her succumb to their demands.

She looked at me painfully. "okay...okay...I will give you. Just...just stop..."

The man motioned for Kazy to step aside and stepped back in position.
"where is it then?

"in my room."

"take us to your room..." The man commanded her and we all headed to her room.

*

"is this all you have?" The man asked her after she had directed them to where she's been keeping all the photos. Kazy brought everything his hand could get out from inside the big matteress in her room. She had stucked all the pictures of me and the lawyer into a part of the bed she tore.

"yes...thats all..." She replied.

"or you want me to let Kazy's hand to compell you to another truth?"

"no...am not lying...please believe me...." She pleaded and there was an undoubtable amount of sincerity in her voice.

"wow! Thank gawd!"

The next thing I heard after I made that relief statement was the sound of Chioma's body colliding with the wall and falling to the floor on her head.

I spun around and saw a crooked smile on Kazy's face.

"what was that for? That wasn't part of the plan..." I fired at them both.

"you idiot...you just blow your cover and Kazy had to clean your mess." Jide fired at me and it was then that I realise I shouldn't have said that statement of relief.

"her head is bleeding." Kazy informed us and I quickly marched towards her.

"help me..." I voiced as I prepared to take her to the hospital.

**

"she's out of danger zone...you can now relax your mind. Mr Darous...but we think she might have suffered some memory loss due to the effect from the fall down the stairs." The doctor informed me some hours after Chioma was taken to the operation room. I'd earlier told them that she fell off the stairs in the house. "but we will still have to carry out some test on her...got to go..." With that he disappeared out of sight.

I heaved a deep sigh and sat down on the chair inside the waiting room.

I brought out my phone and dial Jide's number.

"hows she?" He asked after picking the call.

"she's fine now...have you gotten back home?" I questioned.

"no...but almost...the photos are under the 3 seater sofa...thats where Kazy kept it." He informed.

"alright thanks for everything. I really appreciate your help."

"don't bother bro...its a pleasure helping you. Call me anytime you need me."

"sure...greet Dylan for me." With that, the call ended.

"you can see her now. She's awake." A nurse informed me. I rose up and marched to her ward.

I got inside and saw her staring awkwardly at the ceiling before my collision with the plastic chair announced my presence to her. I moved closer to her and sat beside her bed.

All the while, she stared at me confusedly before asking softly.

"Who are you?" I was shocked to hear that.

"Am angel shekau. Have been waiting for you to wake up so that I can lead you straight to hell. You this b!tch!" I wanted to tell that to her but something held me back. So I just smiled.

"get out please...I don't know you!." She shouted untop her voice.

I stood up with a smirky look and began walking out of the ward.

"Karma has finally found a hole where he can stuck his raging boner in your arsehole Chioma!" I mumbled after getting inside my car. "enjoy his endless inches b!tch!" I ended and zoomed off.
