See why I dont eat porridge....you see. Bad luck catches up with you just when you are about to call it a day.
Putting it mildly, Charles will die because Ben was banging, after they manuvoured safely out of pommas.

I had hoped Ben & co. will recruite Charles as a private driver or delivering man.

Continued ... The Brand of X

Benedict wanted it more than ever. To be in her arms and forget all his problems. To feel loved, cared for and a sense of belonging.

To him it was like being his mom's arm when he was younger, without fear, without trying to forget , but forgetting that trouble was in the corner.

Woe to you , Ben! Your girlfriend might be your mom's namesake but not her. You must be crazy. Not even her copy. He thought to himself.

He moved back a little but Benedicta was not letting go.
Her palms found their way to the light switch and darkness followed but the moonlight sipped through the windows into the bathroom.


This time , her head was even closer than before. She was going to kiss him, he knew it.

He had flashes and in a blink, his eyes shut briskly.

Shit! Why was a part of him having second thoughts about this? Why was his ego dictating otherwise?

He couldn't help it. The darkness in the bathroom made it difficult. Do it already. Just a kiss. Ben said to himself as he finally gave in to her.


' Hmm... You stink, real bad' she said and she retreated.

" Wash up and come to me ' she said and turned to leave.

He dragged her back, he held her arm. He was Half frustrated and half battered. You have to be kidding me.

He sucked the lights out her lips and she winced under his grasp.

He could feel her breathe escape her lungs, she ran her fingers on his back, she scratched furiously and then her arms went downwards.

' No! Benedict said and hit her palm off ' no time for that.

He had a different reason. He wasn't sure if she had contrasted the virus already. He probably got it from a love peddler. They had a fight in the past and she left him briefly. He had to quench his burning urge, countless times. He believed he had not given it to her.

Maybe he had done so. He was not sure.


He pushed her back and said ' dress up. We have to leave, I will be out soon'

Ben could tell from her face that she was upset.
Recently, he always backed off when the main event kicked in. She would never understand as he had not told her yet.

' What's going on' Benedicta asked as she waved her hair and arm in surprise.


' Nothing' Ben tried to be civil.

He felt his erection loose its rock-hard state.

' We haven't had sex in four months' she yelled out ' four months, Ben..'

Benedict moved towards her, still unclad. He tried to touch her and he was greeted by a distance.

She moved away in anger.

'I have been treating you fine' Ben said ' what more do you want?


To hell with his gifts, Benedicta probably thought as it dawned on him that she would explode. Her expressions showed it all.

She nearly did when she said ' Ben , become a man. Be a man. I should never have returned to you' she paused and disgust showed on her face.' What am I still doing with a man who can't make use of a worthless long....'

He had heard enough.

He left his palm on her cheek, and switched off the lights in her cavity.

He reached for the bulb switch, and when the light came on he saw her on the wet floor, rubbing her cheek.

'I'm sorry'

She sprang up and slammed the door when she walked out.

He rammed his fist into the wall and went under the shower.

'Damn it. Damn you Ben' he cursed himself for being a jerk.


When he came out, he put on a boxer and slide into a pair of trousers. He flung his jackets unto his shoulders, he had wore a shirt underneath it and had painfully tied up his arm.

' You 're not dressed up yet'. He asked a cream bunny eyes that stared at him in surprise.

Her arms were behind her back and he wondered why.

He walked out to the living room and she followed closely.

' So you will just come back at the dead of the night and say _ its not safe here, we need to leave... ' She paused 'No calls for the past five days, nothing...'

Benedicta stamped her point with a firm voice.

Ben turned and briefly glanced at her, it was obvious he was tired of arguing.

' I lost my phone'

She continued '. You lost your phone, so your memory lost my number too? Huh! I'm not stepping a foot out of here until you tell me what's going on'

She pulled him back as he walked away. An object reflected a stainless sheen and she held it firmly.

' Stab me if you can' Ben said ' I'm dead already. We stay here, we die. If we leave, I don't know , but I came back for you. So stop this madness and ....' He sighed ' please. For christ's sake'

' What??' Benny uttered and her face lit up with surprise.

She probably could not understand his sudden behaviour. He had a temper and he knew it, but being harsh was to make her realise there was much more at stake.

He moved to a corner and brought out a safe. He took every cash inside and also his credit card. But something was amiss.

He dropped the box and pushed a small covering on the surface of his centre table.
It paved way and he pulled out the pocket of wood from underneath the table.

His eyes lit up as he was greeted with a box full of sim cards. He had kept his gun there too, but it was gone.


' What are you looking for? Benny asked as she watched him. Confusion masked her bunny eyes.

' My wrist watch' he replied

Benedicta was shocked by the item on the table.

She said
' So why did you get me a cake. You even remembered that its my birthday'.


' I did not' he said and turned to face her.
He walked backwards and looked at his front door. He glanced at his wall clock.

' I don't understand... ' Benny came again ' who got the cake then? Because it was not there when I came in'


Benedict was silent. He noticed the clock was five hours behind time. Or there about. It was fixed at 9pm and didn't move clockwise or the opposite.

He scanned the room. He grabbed the door's handle, it followed as he twisted effortlessly, to open the door. It was the last thing he wanted.


He asked her how she got in.

' The door' she replied. ' You came in the same way right?

He jammed the door and locked it. The knob had been tampered with, so it was fruitless. He fixed in the bolt. He groaned as he pushed a chair behind the door.

He walked to the centre table and observed the cake. Something was not right, he could tell.

' Benedict.. I don't understand anymore. Why are you acting strange and..'

' Will you shut up for once' He cut in.

Her frantic mood was getting the best of him. He did not need that at the moment.

' Give me the knife'

She refused and dodged it. His eyeballs locked in with her's and they communicated. He didn't have time for child's play.

' The knife . Benedicta .' He nearly screamed out.

She released it and he snapped it away quickly.

He tapped the surface of the cake. His fingers glazed something strong. Metal or plastic, he thought in suspense.
His heart beat increased. It became hard for him to breathe as his palms started to sweat.

Focus Ben, Focus. He admonished himself.

' Step back' he said to his girlfriend who peered above his shoulders.

He sliced off the icing and brushed off some flour from the top.

With an open mouth and confused eyes, he wondered how such item got fixed into a cake. He realised a round hole had been carved into the cake from underneath.

' Oh God! He said as he dropped the knife on the floor.


' Wait! ' Benedicta said in a hurried state' is that what I'm thinking it to... No, it can't be , right?

' Tell me am dreaming' she continued' Ben tell me... Oh God I'm going to die. I hate you Ben, I hate you ' she said as she hit his chest.

He held her.

' Look at me' he said ' You. Will. Not. Die. Okay'

' What are you saying? Benedicta replied admist tears' there is bomb in here and you are saying rubbish'


' Hey!! Hey!! ' He held her, ' calm down. The timer is still set to go off in five minutes..'

He barely finished the sentence when they heard footsteps. They were obviously three in number; six footsteps.

Then came bangs at the door.

They are here. Ben thought, whoever it was that wanted him dead.

' Go' he said to his girlfriend ' the window. Now!!'

'Why. What's happening?

' No time for that' he pushed her on ' trust me baby. They are the bad guys. They planted that bomb. Go, there is a guy. He is dark skinned... Inshort.. Just ...' He was breathless.

Benny couldn't understand, she frowned for a second, then said ' Why would they come here after planting a bomb?

Benedict pulled down the window pane as he helped her get down the rails. He locked the protector and tossed the keys into a dark corner. He frantically paced the room.


' I don't know' he replied to her question , this time talking to himself.

The bolt was giving way, the door was becoming weak.

He grabbed the C4 and raced to the kitchen. Shit! 1 min 25 seconds left.
In a swipe he created space and fused it into his fridge.

He climbed the window.

The front door broke down. The gunmen gave a pursuit.

' Get that man down' came one voice.

' Shoot the mumu' ordered another .

' No allow am jump. E go disappear' followed the first voice.

A silent 'ppipp sound' came. A bottle shattered. Another bullet engaged.

Ben felt a sharp pain. It was not a bullet as he first thought, but a sting in his gut.

The whisky he kept on the fridge had saved his life.

He didn't see their faces. They were masked.

He painfully held onto the rails as he jumped.

'Arrgh! His right arm shot pain into his brain.

A 'kinnk' sound came. The pistol clicked. It hit the rails. Few inches from him.

He was half way down and adrenaline pumped into his blood.

Before he caught his breathe, a loud bang erupted , then an earth rumble in milliseconds as his apartment blasted into oblivion. A rectangle object catapulted into the skies. The waves created a mushroom effect that was visible, even from a mile away.

Its a nyc story......welldone creeza....Update pls!....thank you!

i will update, I was banned. Sorry 4 the delay.. And you are welcome dear. Thank u for commenting

Peterjezy:
What!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't give me that shitttt..... Charlie died?? ohhhh no!!!!!!!





Outside the building , Charlie tried to put up with the cold even inside his honda as he rubbed his fingers profusely.

He should have been at home, in his bed, beside his sweet Jasmine.

Too bad for him, he wanted to help a lad in trouble.

He stepped out of his car, he wondered why the young man took time to come out.

' The young man ' he smiled to himself . He didn't even get to know his name.

' Mysterious young man indeed' he whispered and breathed out cold air.

Charles was very unaware of the danger he had put himself. These areas where thieves, assassins and even human -hunters thrived, was the last place he should be as he glanced at his wrist_watch, then towards the apartment where the man had climbed up.

The lights were on. But he saw no one, then a light went off .

' Something must be wrong' he said and humbly reached for his door.

Too late, a sound clicked behind him.

It was a familiar tone, he knew it from movies but never behind him before, both in a dream and real life.

A sting in his gut made him realise too soon. He did not need a magician to tell him that a pistol was caressing the skin of his skull, from behind.

He raised his arms up, impulsively, he hoped to catch a glimpse of his tormentor before his brain splatters into shrapnel.


To be continued.

Continued .... The Brand Of X


5....


Benedict geared up as he realised the item was just a piece of cake- A big ' Piece ' though.

So Benny made a cake for her birthday. She must have great plans for tomorrow. He thought.

' Where is she?

He scanned the living room.

He made way toward the kitchen and switched on the lights . He popped his head through the window, it was barely locked and he scanned the walls, he gazed at the rails where he had climbed up. It was near . One could easily jump to catch the window. He retreated and shut the window

The door to his fridge banged as he collected a bottle of yoghurt. He placed it on his feet and then, beside his arm.

' Urghh'.

It was the best feeling ever. A sign of relief.

He placed the yoghurt bottle back, a much darker item followed his swing as the fridge banged softly this time. He painfully took off his polo, poured the whisky on his right arm and his facial expression didn't go well.

' I'm going to die anyway' he said before he gulped the contents.

His health condition was like a candle stick, he hardly cared if he had diabetes 2.

He dropped the bottle on a table and headed towards his bedroom, blinked at the cake again but he was impatient. He had to know why everywhere was so calm.

Benedicta was fast asleep. She was an angel in his tank top T_shirt. She loved it and wore it whenever she was around. Her bum shorts were simply tempting, leaving a lot to the imagination.

He released his arm from the light switch and came nearer.

' Hey' he said softly.

He didn't mean to, but she was already awake,so he kissed her forehead.

' Hey you! She replied faintly' where have you been? She paused and gave a face.
' You stink..' She said and sat up. ' Why do you have blood on your arm? Your leg... What happened?

' I got into a fight'

' Where?'

' Get up. Get dressed. We have to leave'

He left her and selected a jacket from his wardrobe. He tossed it unto the bed and ripped off his trousers without delaying for a second.
****

He gazed at his reflection when he was in the bathroom. He wondered how he had gotten to that point in his life, where it was hard to stop.

His only desire was to show her care, he did terrible things just to make her happy. He did it without even thinking twice,

She got him thus far, until he was jailed for her sake.

' Open up' Benny banged on the door.

' Baby. ' She called out.

He pulled the bolt and allowed her allowed in.
He was unclad and cared less. He hadn't gone under the downpour because of the fresh wounds, he was sceptical about the pain.

Ben wondered what she wanted, she came forward and grabbed unto his neck line.

She leaned forward. Then further and further as her arm glazed his back and spine area. Then again further, she advanced and took her time in the act.

Ben's weight rested on his right foot, but soon he felt sweetness allover as he anticipated a kiss... Or maybe something more.
