Chapter Three

Emi dropped the last bag on him to the ground and stood for a while, looking at all four bags, while he bent down to unzip one of the bags, Gold walked in, dressed in his blue and white stripped T-shirt.
"You're back" she said and leaned on the wall of the garage
"No, I'm still at the mechanical shop" Emi replied sarcastically and turned around to look at Gold
"Hey that's my shirt" he shouted and stood up
"I know, so what's in the bags? "
Emi grinned and turned towards the bags and pointed to the blue one.
"The blue one contains basic mechanical things, you just won't understand, so the other bags are the remaining parts I need to complete the motorcycle" Emi replied.
"Well, I hope that thing doesn't kill you, I need your help" Gold said and gulped
"What this time? " Emi replied and got to work, he opened the inner part of the garage and brought out a motorcycle skeletal frame and laid it on the table.
"I was invited to a party, and it's this evening" Gold said, locked her hands together and began swaying them from left to right.
"So how do I help you? It's not my party" Emi said and retrived the set of spanner hanging on the wall.
"Stop acting like you don't know what I want, cover me up, when mom asks about me"
"So what's in for me? " Emi asked and hit the spanner with him on the table.
"I'll protect you when you need help" Gold replied and dashed out happily.

Emi sighed as he finally bolted the last screw, the coupling had take him longer than he had expected, looking at his perfect motorcycle he sighed and smiled feeling contended.
He took a quick glance at the wall clock in the garage and noticed the day was far spent.
"Six Fifteen " he said and noticed his mom was yet to be back from work, and also Gold was still not back, even when she had promised to get back earlier, and he knew her to be many things but not keeping to time wasn't part of her.
"I hope you're ready for take off" Emi said and held the handle of the motorcycle.

Emi pushed the motorcycle out of the garage and closed the doors, he climbed on his motorcycle and ignited the engine" still hoping it functioned properly
"Nice one you got there" Francisca said and walked closer, her hands both in the pocket of her trouser.
"Francisca" Emi replied and smiled broadly
"Where are you off too? "
"Gold, she was attending a party and she's yet to be back, I want to go pick her" Emi replied
"Hope it isn't Floral's party? "
"It is "
Francisca let out a slight cough and stared at Emi.
"You should go get her, as soon as possible"
"Can you come along, I'll be happy....." Emi had hardly finished his statement when Francisca hopped on.

Deborah gasped for breathe as the black sack cloth was pulled off from her head, looking around, she found herself in an empty room, having just two chairs and a center table.
Still on her knees, she turned around and saw two men dressed in black suit, manning the entrance.
"Please let me be, I haven't done anything wrong" Deborah pleaded, fear instantly taking over her.
"You have no reason to be scared, Deborah John" a calm voice said from nowhere in particular.
She heaved and looked around, trying to figure out where the voice was from.
"Have your seat, I only come with a business proposal" the voice said again.
Deborah slowly stood to her feet, walked towards the chair closest to her and sat down at the edge.
"Make yourself comfortable, no harm will come to you, as long as you comply "
"Plee..asse what do you want? "
"Before then, I already cleared all your late husband's debt, you're free of debts, but in return, you have to do some job for us"
"I never told anyone I needed help and helping without my consent, I appreciate but I don't want your help and I have nothing to pay you in return "
Everywhere was calm for a while and suddenly a loud laughter followed.
"Forgive my manners, you don't have a choice, look"
The wall before Deborah slowly came alive, showing Emi positioning drunk Gold on his motorcycle ,while Francisca held her, and sat behind her.
"Hey! Coward, keep my children out of this" Deborah shouted in anger
"That's only possible if you do as you're told, take the file on the table and go"
Deborah picked up the brown envelope and suddenly everywhere went dark
****
****

Deborah hanged up the phone and sank herself into the chair, looking worried, deep in her thought, she didn't know when Emi came in, with Gold in his arms, and when he came back from Gold's room, she sighed heavily and relaxed her body in the chair.
"What's wrong? " Emi asked and sat beside his mother.
"It's nothing, thinking about the good times I had with your dad and all" Deborah replied and faked a smile.
"It's a lie mom " Emi said calmly and stared at his mother's eye.

Certainly she had forgotten one of his rare gift was being able to know when people were lying, if he was at a very close range to them.
"Emi, the bills are piling up, your father debtors are calling in, the banks he took loans from are not taking it easy" Deborah said and didn't notice when tears began to wield up in her eyes.
"I know Dad to be very inventive and he's smart enough to prepare for unknown circumstances " Emi said, looking confused.
"Well, I used everything to clear up the little it could, including the previous house" Deborah replied.
"Up, up, up, tomorrow is school, and you don't want to miss your first day, luckily Francisca attends same school, tomorrow should be fun filled" Deborah said and tapped Emi on the back.
***
***
The new school wasn't what they expected it to be, the extra ordinary features it possessed was mind blowing, from the interior design, to the sculptures in the premises, the social lives were also captivating, a school football team, tennis team, basketball team among others, extra curricular activities by the students was also too good to ignore.

After the first six periods of the day, the electric bell in every classes ranged, instantly every where became lousy, students moving from different angles to another.
Emi stood up and walked up to his sister's desk and sat on it.
"How are you coping? " Emi asked smiling awkwardly
"I should be asking you that, since you are the dullard in the family" Gold replied and stood up.
"Go out, and see how this place looks, and try and make friends, don't end up breaking arms here, schools are few" Gold said and walked out on him.

Entering into the school cafeteria, Emi walked towards a free table and placed his launch bag on it, and made himself comfortable
"You don't want trouble, dude get up from there" a lanky boy said and walked passed.
"No special tag on it" Emi replied himself and open the lid of the box.
Few minutes later, he felt some strange presence behind him, feeling unbothered, Emi continued with his food and suddenly a hand knocked off the lunch box to the ground.
Emi grinned and turned around, before him were seven boys, bigger stature than him and with much more bigger muscles.
"Apologies for that" Emi said and stood up.
"Wonderful, who are you, John Wick?" a boy among the group shouted hilariously.

Everyone in the hall stood at a safe distance watching the drama which was slowly becoming tensed.
"See boy, Emi, isn't it?! You should know where to step and where not to, this particular table its meant for lowlifes like you"

Gold walked into the cafeteria, seeing what was happening, she grabbed a seat and relaxed
"I'm so going to enjoy this"

Francisca ran up to them and grabbed Emi by the arm, trying to pull him away.
"Let's go, just avoid trouble" Francisca said and tried pulling Emi, with all her effort, yet Emi was still firmly rooted to the ground.
"Go on brother, show them who's boss" Gold shouted and raised the soft drink can with her in the air.

"Just ignore them"
"Yeah, listen to your girlfriend and run to mama, brat"

Gold walked up to them and tapped Emi on the chest.
"Let's go, these dudes are losers " She said.

"Wow check her out" a boy from the group said, admiring Gold and was about laying his hands on her hair, when Emi grabbed it and displaced his wrist so easily.
"Arggghhh!!! " the boy shouted and attempted a hit with his other hand.
Emi stopped the attack in mid air and pushed him on the chest with little effort, sending the boy distance away.
"Huuhhnn, wooowwww" was the chorus that came next from other pupils.
"Who's next? " Gold shouted

Three months gone, yet no other lead was available on John's death, nobody has been suspected or questioned, it looked it everything was dying down, days after the person in the dark hood had gathered evidence, all which were linking and could prove useful, the officers still saw it as a sham, dismissing the matter, probably someone among them was aware of what was happening.
These were thoughts that kept bothering Emi, drastically his grades were dropping, although he wasn't the all brilliant kid, he did well an average student.
On various occasions, he had been advised and encouraged, his education didn't matter at this moment only justice could make him calm, but yet he was not getting it, he had on various occasion heard about how every system in the country were corrupt, but he never thought it was to this extent.
Another thought that kept bothering him, was the possibility of his father being in a secret organization as his first victim had stated, but yet he was still fining it hard to belief.

Deborah drove the car into an untidy compound, grasses all over the walls of the building, the cream color painting of the bungalow already faded off, making it look so unpleasant to the eyes.
Everyone alighted the car, after John was gone, Deborah was left with the option of starting a new life somewhere far and where no one knew about her, her life either present or past.
"We should be able to transform this place within the days, since Emi is here" Deborah said with a smile and walked to the booth of the car.
"The lady I purchased the building from, said we didn't need to bother about basic things in the house"
Gold sneezed and rubbed her nose vigorously and hit her palm on the car.
"Why do you have to purchase a building like this? " Gold asked and shaked her head in disapproval.
"The owner is an aged woman, and she needed the money urgently, even it's a nice apartment, the interiors are cool " Deborah replied and dropped a luggage from the car.

Emi somehow felt drawn to the house, a kind of connection he could not explain, he walked towards the wall of the building and placed his hands on it, feeling a pleasant energy flowing through him.
He bent down and raised a dried plank up and retrived bunch of keys from it.
"How did you know that was there? " Deborah asked, noticing how strange he was behaving
"I don't know, I feel a kind of connection, like a bound with this house, it feels like it a part of me" Emi said and used his hand to wipe of the dust on a part of the wall, revealing a switch, he carefully flipped the switch and watched as the garage door came open.
Deborah only stood in awe and followed Emi as he walked into the dusty garage filled with cobwebs.
Walking closer to the mechanical table, Emi looked around, and let out a broad smile, he grabbed a spanner and looked back at his mother.
"What's this place? " he asked and focused on his mother who was speechless.
"I don't know, come, let's move in, and get back into our normal lives" Deborah said and stepped aside allowing Emi pass through.
***
***

Emi focused on clearing the garage, somehow he was so connected to it, he flipped over the switch, that connected all electric appliances in the garage, contended with its functionality, he moved next to the work table and lifted it up, and easily placed it very close to the wall
"That's like a 50 tons heavy! " A feminine voice said at the entrance of the garage.
Emi turned towards the voice, and stared at the girl standing before him, without any clue of what to say.
"Sorry I walked in without invitation, I live next door, Huhn and noticing we had a new neighbor, I came to say hello and get to know who the lovely people are" she said, smiling broadly, and gently tapped her laps with her fingers.
Emi walked closer to her and sniffed around her.
"Huuhn, that's wierd" the girl said and stepped back.
"Joking" Emi said and had a wide grin on his face. "The rest of the family are in"

Everyone quickly along with Francisca, her sense of humor, the way she spoke and her ability to flow along with conversation mad her more lovely, exempting her extraordinary beautiful features.

Gold walked into the garage grumbling, whike Emi was really focused on getting the place into order, the giant tyre laying on the floor, he easily lifted it up with his left hand and on the right were heavy cables and one after another he positioned them where they ought to be.
"I've been here forever" Gold shouted in annoyance.
"What?" Emi replied still not paying her attention
"Francisca, I feel intimidated by her presence"
"Why is that?" Emi asked and sighed, almost getting the desired result he wanted in the garage.
"She looks much more beautiful than I am, I'm beginning to dislike her"
"Kill yourself over something that isn't worth it, Dad is dead and we are moving on, if you die, we will still move on" Emi said harshly
"What! You're unbelievable, those that mean I don't have any usefulness to you? " Gold shouted and grabbed the iron rod beside her and threw it at Emi.
Getting to a close range, the rod suddenly melted and vaporised, leaving no trace.
"That's new" Gold said in awe and walked closer.
"So many things are new since we got here, I feel increase in power, and somehow I'm drawn to this particular place" Emi said and turned around.
Fear gripped Gold, seeing Emi's face radiate so brightly, it illuminated the entire garage, at the point she went unconscious and fell to the ground.

*Chapter Two*

Emi closed the door, after ushering in two strangers, whom he later knew were Police officers, that have been assigned to investigate the death of his father.
They both made themselves comfortable on the three sitter and waited patiently for Deborah to join them.
"Good morning, Mrs John" They both chorused as she descended the stairs, with Gold following behind.
Dressed in black cloths, within the span of five days, Deborah was already a shadow of herself, all advice given to her to move on, only broke her spirit the more, times like this was something she didn't bargain for or expected it to happen in such a brutal way.
"Good morning" she replied and sat down on the opposite chair, while Emi leaned on the wall, close to the door and Gold seated on the arm of the chair where her mother was.
"We need to ask few questions, from our previous investigation, eye witness have made us understand, he suddenly dropped to the ground, and that's all they could say, from the angle and thoroughly going through similar cases, we noticed it was a sniper and we have had cases like this for five months now, three every month" one of the officer said and sighed, trying to be professional in his choice of words.
"Excuse me " Emi said calmly and stood right.
"You've had cases like this in the past five months, three in each month,15 bodies dropped and you don't have a lead, how are we sure you can sort this out? " Emi said with a surprise look
"Hmm" one of the officer sighed and talked "We believe there is a pattern to this, every person that died this way, are linked in one way which is spectacular"
"Without wasting time, we just need to ask a question, Mrs John, do you know this person" an officer asked and passed a photo to Deborah through the center table.
Emi walked closer to his mother, to also have a glance at the picture
"No, I have never seen him before" She replied and looked at Gold.
"I know him" Emi replied, and instantly all eyes fell on him.
"From where?" Deborah asked
"About two months ago, I and Dad visited a steel factory along Freeman Road, I was told to wait in the car, while he and dad went in, but it didn't take long before Dad returned, looking worried " Emi said and jammed his hands into each other.
"You've been of great help, kid" an officer said and both him and his colleague stood up to take thier leave.
"We shall call on you, when we need further questioning "

Freeman Way
8: 26pm

A fat pot bellied man, of about 5 feet tall, walked out of the Steel factory main exit and walked up to the car park, dipping his hands inside his pocket, he brought out his car keys and pressed a button on it, getting closer to his car, he adjusted his tie and attempted opening the door, just then he noticed a presence behind him, swiftly he turned around and was relived seeing nothing was behind. He turned back to his car and saw someone dressed in black hood, totally covering his face, standing at the other side of his car.
"What on earth, hey! Who are you? " the man asked, pointing his car keys forward.
"It doesn't matter who or what I am " the person replied in a bold tone.
"What do you know about the recent murders that has been going on, bullets to the chest, three Victims in each month, five months in total, fifteen of them dead"
The man felt unease and tried taking steps backward, turning around to take to his heels, he collided with the person, and fell to the ground
"Talk or I help you do that"
"He'll kill me if I talk" the man said and slowly stood up
"Who"
Within the dark hood, the man could see, red burning flames emitting on the part of the eyes and began to piss his pant, fear ran through his whole spine.
"Talk! " the person barked, followed by a loud lightning sound.
"Alright, I only know those that died, were in one cult association of the other, wealthy men, blood money, those that died, either wanted to opt out, or offended Priest or breach an agreement, that's all I know please don't hurt me" the man said and opened his eyes, hoping to see the hooded person, but met emptiness.
"I'm done for "

Gold banged her hands on Emi's locker table, and smiled at him, for a while she remained like that until Emi spoke
"You're always up to something with that smile, what are you up to this time" Emi asked and returned the books on the table into his bag and stood up
"Nothing, it's closing hour, let's go home" Gold replied
"Alright, if that's it"
Gold scratched her head and coughed lightly
"actually I might have a plan to get us out of this mess"
***
***
Both Emi and Gold sneaked into the ward where Chris was admitted.
"Let's strangle him" Gold said with a wicked grin on her face and raised her hands up.
"Is that the plan? " Emi asked and grabbed Gold's hand.
"I was only joking" Gold said and sighed "Let's wake him"
Gold pinched Chris hardly on the leg and waited patiently, watching him wriggle his body, she placed her hands on the band aided arm and trailed her fingers on it.
Chris opened his eyes slowly, seeing both Gold and Emi before he him, he attempted to scream, swiftly Emi placed his Palm on his mouth, turning his scream into a muffling sound.
"Shut up and listen very good" Gold said slowly and placed a finger across her lips.
"Good boy, now listen, do you want another arm broken or we should help you displace this one a little" Gold asked and made a fist.
"What? " Chris asked in annoyance
"Good, you'll tell the principal, that is your father what really happened, or else, you know what we can do and we won't hesitate to rip you apart" Gold said in a wicked stern voice.
"You are both biting more than... "
"Finish that statement and watch me rip of your arm and force it into your mouth" Emi said and raised the edge of the bed up.
"Hey! Alright, just get out of here"
Emi's phone vibrated in his school bag and quickly he retrived it and opened the message.
"Gold, come on, we have to get home"
***
****

Emi boiled with rage, seeing his father laying in his own pool of blood, the bullet widely tore the his chest opened.
"Dad" Emi said and knelt down, raising his father up.
"somebody help us, please help us" Gold shouted hoping passer by would assist them, only to see how people avoided them like plague made her annoyed and wondered how people could be so inhumane
Emi raised his father up, carrying him on his arms
"Gold, come on, leave them, let's get him to a clinic, there should be one around " Emi said.
"Call mom, there that his phone "

John kept mute as he drove the family home, constantly tapping his right middle finger on the steering, while Deborah was seated also in the front, also keeping mute.

Emi at the back, with a moody face, a partially torn uniform and blood stained fist, while Gold leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Emi!" his father called out, as he turned the steering to the left.
"Sir! " Emi replied and focused on his father.
"Why do you have to prove to every fool you're strong, and what have I told you about using your powers especially on the weak?" John asked in a stern voice.
"Actually brother has no fault, he W.... "
"Shut up! " Deborah shouted and turned her face around,looking deadly at Gold
"Do you know how much I had to put down for the boy's treatment in this hard time? " Deborah barked

Gold gulped and squeezed her face, and grumbled
"According to the doctor, his arm was completely dislocated, what if he had died?" John asked and hit the car honk in annoyance.
"It'll not happen again" Emi said calmly
"Same promises you keep making but never keep, this is the third school you're attending this term alone and there are just three months in a term" John said dejectedly
"I'll keep following him, I don't want any harm to come to my super human brother " Gold said happily.
"You're the cause of this problems he has, always running you wide mouth" Deborah said calmly and heaved.

At age 14, Emi already grew up to be well built, almost with a perfect ruddy stature, chocolate skin complexion, and very dark set eyeballs. While Gold was a complete opposite of Emi both in look and character, she possessed sets of tiny eyeballs, and was of a body stature one could call slender, but it fitted her perfectly.

Emi stood outside the Principal's office, while Gold was seated on the only plastic chair outside the office.
"Is he going to withdraw us from the school again, even though his child was at fault? " Gold asked, biting her fingers
"Maybe, then we would stay at home for life, all schools in the neighborhood has refused us" Emi said and leaned on the wall.
"Hey, don't you have powers to eavesdrop ?" Gold asked, hitting Emi on the leg.
"I don't have, please, I'm getting bored of you "
Gold opened her mouth wide and made a face, grumbling beneath her breath.
"So that's it, I knew humans could not be trusted" She said and began sobbing.
"Fake tears, I was only kidding"
The Principal office door, came open and a boy signalled them to come in.
"Morning Sir" Emi greeted the very slender man seated on the office chair.
Emi studied the man, never had he noticed the features he was seeing, sitting right on the chair there was enough space to fill two more people of Emi's stature, he looked so small.
Gold giggled and faced down not to raise any suspicion and gently pinched Emi on the waist.
The Principal raised his head and adjusted his glasses looking straight into Emi's eyes.
"Emi and Gold John " the principal said, and opened the file before him.
"Sir" they both chorused.
"You know very well the rules and regulations of the school both within and outside its premises"
"Yes Sir "
"Why did you break it by fighting a helpless kid? "
Emi gulped, folded his hands behind his back and avoided the Principal's gaze.
"Sir, are you basing your judgement on a one sided story? " Gold asked and stared into the man's eye.
"What do you mean? "
"Your son, started the trouble, he wanted to date me, when I refused he began threatening me, saying he would get down with me, then my brother dealt with him" Gold said boldly but yet in a respectful manner.
The Principal kept mute for a while and then found his voice
"I've heard you're bold and have a wide mouth, I see this true, we're still investigating and I promise you, if this accusation is a lie, you'll be dealt with severely" The principal said and brought out a tape recorder, and pressed the red button on it.
"You can go"

Chapter One

Gold sat down on the staircase that led to the hallway of the school auditorium, seated on the right end, among a group of five girls, chattering happily.
They'd constantly laugh and took turns to speak.
"I can't think of it, I and Michael together, naaahhh, he's odd" a girl among the group said, and they all went into a louder roar of laughter.
All dressed in a white top and red skirt, accompanied with a red tie.
"Hello pretties" a boy said calmly, with a broad smile on his face and looked at his friends that were with him.
"Hello" a girl replied sheepishly and rolled her eyes.
"He's our new Principal's child, I heard he is arrogant " a dark skin girl whispered into Gold's ear.
"I'm Christian, Chris for short and in in SS2c"
"We know who you are, kindly skip the intro " the dark girl said, and hissed.
"Thank you, please I am really interested in Gold, I love her" Chris said and adjusted his tie, quickly admired himself and adjusted the belts.
"Alright thanks, you can go" one of the girls replied and crossed her legs into each other.
"I'm serious" Chris said and knelt down.
"See, her twin brother is here and it simply means trouble " the dark skin girl said.

Ignoring her words, Chris moved close to Gold and grabbed her by the arm
"Please, I'm serious about this, don't think of the fact that I'm new here, I already asked around and I have confirmed you are single " Chris said
"Hey, let me be" Gold shouted and freed herself from the grip.
"Please"
"Let her go" a voice said next, a hand pulled Chris and pushed him aside.
"Did he hurt you? "
"The grip was too tight, I think he is crazy" Gold replied
"I warned him" the dark girl said and stood up

Chris stood up and walked closer to Emi and pushed him lightly on the chest.
"What's your probkem, I've heard about you, so you're the hero around here, and will you end up marrying your sister? " Chris shouted, locking eyes with Emi

Gold grabbed Emi by the arm and pulled him away from Chris.

"You know what? You'll all dumb" Chris shouted and threw his shoe at Emi
Emi grinned and released himself from Gold's grip, he turned around and kicked the shoe away.
"You can't do this again, just ignore him" Good said trying to persuade Emi.
"And also were two years his junior, let's just walk off"
Emi grinned his rectangular face and looked at Gold
"This last time please, I promise he won't be hospitalized " Emi said and took steps forward.

Soon students began to gather around, forming a wide circle, leaving both Emi and Chris at the center.
"So what can you do"

John kept mute as he drove the family home, constantly tapping his right middle finger on the steering, while Deborah was seated also in the front, also keeping mute.

Emi at the back, with a moody face, a partially torn uniform and blood stained fist, while Gold leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Emi!" his father called out, as he turned the steering to the left.
"Sir! " Emi replied and focused on his father.
"Why do you have to prove to every fool you're strong, and what have I told you about using your powers especially on the weak?" John asked in a stern voice.

EMI: HUMAN GOD
THE REBOOT
Written by: Olusegun Ayomide Shedrach
From: The Prime Insane Universe

Introduction

Deborah stood beside her husband, Peter, and wriggles herself into his arm as they both watched their newly welcomed daughter, Gold. Six years into the marriage, at last their wish came through.

Peter placed his hand on his daughter's face and smiled as she grabbed his right middle finger, with all her hands and tried moving it to her mouth.
"She'll make a nice princess" John said and kissed his wife's forehead.
"Hmm hmm" Deborah said and giggled
"I'll finish setting her room soon, the solar system hanging directly above her bed, huhn finally"

The light bulbs which were fixed on the wall, above Gold's bed suddenly went off and came on again.
"That's new" Deborah said and raised her head from Peter's shoulder.
"Its nothing... " John was yet to complete the statement, when they heard something drop outside the house, seconds later a loud bang followed, the sonic wave shattering all the window frames of the house and shook the foundation.
Deborah let out a loud scream and quickly carried her child, holding her tightly to herself.
"Wait here" John said and ran out of the room.

John walked out slowly, holding a torch on his right hand, right at the step of the balcony, was a baby wrapped in ancient shawl.
John walked closer and stood still for a while, pointed the torch into the shawl and moved back in fear, he pointed the torch to the left and then to the right.
"What's that? " Deborah asked, standing at the entrance, and at the sane time trying to catch a glimpse of what was happening.
"Its a baby! " John replied and turned around to face his wife.
***

John sat on the three seated in the living room, the living room, could easily describe The Johns financial life, various awards were beautifully placed on a glass shelf, on the far end of the room, a wall plasma television set, neatly arranged cushion chairs, a fancy center table and well decorated tiles.
"We can't keep him" John said to his wife who was already taking the baby as hers.
"We shall keep him, please, you saw what happened, something is wrong, this child is a mystery" his wife replied and gently laid the baby beside her daughter.
"Thats why we can't keep him, the event before we saw him, I'm scared, we can't keep him, first thing tomorrow, I'm reporting to the police" John replied and turned to take his leave.
"Please let's keep him, you know how you've always wanted a boy, please think,we might be his only hope, what if something he's wrong and he is affected,John please "
"Phew! " John sighed and faced his wife "We can keep him, but he is not my responsibility, I'll only try my best" John replied
Deborah beamed with smile and walked closer to John, kised him on the right cheek and held his hands
"Thank you"
"What shall we name him? " his wife asked
"I don't know, he's mystery what about Emi "
"Spirit!, isn't that odd"
"Well if you have a better name, maybe those fancy ones" John replied and focused on the baby from where he stood
"Emi it is, he seems to like it"


Chapter One

*Chapter 11*
*End of the Line*

Tami touched the splitted part of his face and slowly raised his head from the steering, he shook his head lightly, coming back to his senses, he turned around and saw Hanah remove the copper plating which was a covering to the machine's power button.

Hanah turned the key on the machine around, and from the upper part a led timer began countdown from five minutes.
"Hanah turn that thing off, if at all you'll be powering it, this is not the right place, it has to get to the military base, where it is more effective and stable" Tammy said calmly and attempted getting to Hanah
"This time, I won't smack the gun on your head, I'll put a bullet in you" Hanah said and pointed her gun at him.
A heavy bang suddenly came at the convoy, shifting it aside a little bit. Both Tami and Hanah stood still and again the hit came at the vehicle, this time much harder, it raised the vehicle and dropped it hard again making Hanah loose grip of her gun.
The windows of the vehicle shattered into pieces followed by the windscreen and from it Zs began rushing into the vehicle.

Tami slashed the ones coming from the left, each slash tearing them apart, swiftly he went for the right, a Z grabbed him from the broken windscreen and tried biting him, just then Hanah shot at it.
She grabbed Tami's arm and pulled him back to balance.
"We can't overcome them" Tami muffled and ripped a Z's neck apart.

*Military Base*

From the control room of the military base, the general paced around as the operators, punched furiously on the keyboard, with great speed, on the monitor, were display of different icons and syntax the general found hard to comprehend
"Sir" a soldier said, saluted and ran forward
"Good news? " the general asked
"No, it can't be override, we only have to hope, it's stable enough not to affect the marked out areas" the soldier replied
"What's the status? "
"2 minutes left sir" another shouted
"Heaven save us"
"One minute to commence launch initiation, turn off master engine to cancel launch initiation" a computerized voice said, and from the huge screens in the control room, missile heads were displayed, processing their launch sequence
***
***
Hanah screamed in pain as a Z bit off flesh from her right arm, she pulled the trigger at the Z and saw she was out of ammo, she screamed and smashed the butt of the gun against the Z's face.

Tami began panting heavily, his joints were wearing out, relentlessly the Zs continued squeezing themselves into the vehicle.
"Confirm final launch sequence " a computerized voice from the machine said.
Hanah looked at Tami with tears in her eyes, she was feeling the effect and it was catching up with her rapidly.
She turned around to go to the machine, only to be pulled back by a Z. Tami angrily slashed the Z's hand, letting it go off Hanah.

She crawled towards the machine and without thinking twice, she confirmed the sequence.
"This is the end of the line " Tami said as he saw trails of light in the sky.
***
***
*3 weeks later*

Tami slowly opened his eyes, at first everything was blurry, he shot his eyes and slowly opened it, few meters away, he saw Hanah laying on a hospital bed, two different drips going into her body.
He grunted and looked the opposite direction and saw Bisi fast asleep on the chair, he noticed he was looking normal, the golden skin was gone.

Zilla let out a loud bark which woke Bisi up.
"You're awake! " Bisi shouted in joy and dashed out of the room.
Somehow Tami couldn't feel his legs, or move his hands, it was then it dawned on him that he was not his former self.

"Hey!" Hannah's voice came at him " You finally woke up" she said weakly and smiled
"That was some rough decision we took "
"You took the decision" Tami replied
"Maybe, but we succeeded, I am alive, you're alive, you're paralyzed temporarily, in months time, you should be back to your normal life"

Clara entered into the ward, holdkng tight to her daughter Jewel
"Daddy"
Tami gulped hard, lost of words, he didn't know where she was here
"I know I'm the last person you'd wish to see, but I just hope you find the right one and find a place in your heart to forgive me " She said and turned around and took her leave.
"Don't think about it, things happen in life, and the money from the other day, it's intact, we can live life out of it" Hanah said and giggled
"Shut up and rest" Tami replied and smiled.

Chapter 9
Homecoming

Hanah slowly opened the door, and stepped outside, followed by Bisi, Zilla and Tami, they all stood in awe, seeing the countless number of dead crows on the ground, covering every inch of the ground.
"What's this?" Tami asked and looked at Hanah for explanation
"I never thought the number could be this much" Hanah replied
"What number? "
"From my findings, Zs cannot last more than 6 months without food, only a drop of blood can sustain them for that six month, seems that's what happened to these crows"
***
***
Hanah drove into the estate, which was totally deserted, the huge gate that led into the estate was already down to the floor, stench of dead humans filled the entire air, which made breathing much more difficult.

Tami adjusted himself and held tight to the pistol with him on the right arm, while he used his left amputated arm for support.
"Everyone stick close" Tami said, taking the lead.
Loud growls came from the right, startling all of them, looking at the direction, Zs were locked up in a huge mobile cell, as they proceed, they noticed more mobile cells with Zs locked up in them.

"We are here" Tami said and walked up to the building before them and placed a hard knock on the door.
Impatiently he placed another knock. The door partially came open, and Tami took steps backward, holding his gun up and signalled to Hanah. She walked towards the back of the door, and pulled it completely open.

"Hey!, drop the gun" a man shouted from inside, and felt relieved as Tami lowered the gun.
"Honey, are you alright" A feminine voice came from inside in a rather shaky tone.
"Clara! " Tami said beneath his breath.

His wife stood in shock seeing Tami right before her own eyes, he tried keeping calm, since all was still not clear to him.
"Who are you? " The man asked and took a quick glance at Tami's missing arm, and then at his odd body color.
"Huhn, my brother I told you about" Clara cut in and gave Tami a warning glance.

Hanah scoffed and rested on the balcony, watching as everything was unfolding.
"Where is Jewel?" Tami asked in annoyance and cocked his gun.
"Hey! Calm" Hanah said and held Tami's hand, preventing him from raising the gun up.
"I'll be happy if you just walk off away from here"
"She's my wife and here is my mother's house, and I'm here for her and my daughter, and where is my mother? " Tami shouted
"Check around in the mobile cage, and for the record, I know about you from the beginning and Jewel is my daughter, not yours"

Tami felt heart broken and broke into tears, his efforts were futile, his wife whom he cared about was not his after all, his mother already infected, he had been taking care of someone else's child.
***
***
Tami kept mute in the car, as Hanah drove to their destination,he was lost, even lost the will to live, everything was meaningless.
"You have to get it off your mind, it's not new" Hanah said
"I should have killed them all that instance" Tami said and sniffed.
Hanah drove the car into LASUTH and headed for the emergency ward, admiring how everywhere was heavily guarded.
A soldier ran up to them and waited patiently till they all alighted and asked them some questions.
"Follow me"

Boy, get out here and help me carry him into the car" Hanah shouted at Bisi who was still not sure what next to do.

Chapter 8
Second Chance to Live

Hanah, squeezed her face irritates as She tried stabilizing Tami who was constantly going into shock, she peeped through the window, and walked back to Tami who was laying on the bed unconsciously.
"The wound is getting deeper " Bisi said "And he is heating up, what will we do? "
Hanah bite her lower lips and grabbed Bisi by the right wrist
"You're immune right? " Hanah asked with glimpse of hope in her face.
"Yes"
Hanah thought for a while and heaved, knowing her next step was based on just trial, everything could go wrong.
"I don't know how to make a vaccine out of you, but I was thinking since Zs could bite and get you infected, then vice versa " Hanah said and bit her lips again.
"There's just one option left"
"Which is? " Bisi asked calmly.
"Bite him"
***
***

Bisi stood before a broken standing mirror, he opened his mouth widely and focused on the long canines, he slowly closed his mouth and pulled off his shirt, looking at the numerous scars on his body, the various bites on his chest and arms.
"You've been through alot, since this apocalypse" Hannah's voice came from the entrance of the room.
"I don't have any option, I can't let him die or get infected" Bisi said and turned around.
"Come on" Hanah said calmly and patted Bisi on the shoulder as he got closer to her.

Hanah titled Tami's neck to the left and used methylated spirit in it, and gently rubbed it with a cotton wool.
"There, bite the veins"

Bisi growled softly and bent down against Tami's neck, he took a quick glance at Hanah and dipped his teeth into Tami's neck.

Gradually Tami's wounds began to heal, his veins began to go back to normal, his body also began to turn into golden color, blending perfectly with the pigment of his skin
"Seems it's working, we should be safe till when he is fully recovered, whenever that is" Hanah said and threw pieces of meat from the plate on the table to the ground for Zilla and poured water into a little oval bowl for the dog.
***
***
Both Bisi and Hanah got startled as something dropped on the roof of the building, she quickly put of the candle light and held tight to her pistol, resting it on her left pan with a torch on the left palm.
Another thud came again ,this time Zilla whimpered and stood up.
Everywhere went calm like nothing had happened, Hanah fixed her gaze on Tami who was fast asleep.
She gulped hard and took three steps back
***
***
Hanah felt a soft tap on her shoulder, and slowly opened her eyes, yawned lazily and was amazed to see Tami.
"Welcome back, you look... " she paused not certain of what to say
"Different" Tami replied "At least I'm alive and seems I'm cured"
"Yes, but not immune" Hanah replied and stood up.

Bisi also stood up and stretched his body, letting out cracking noises.
"Where are we? " Tami asked
"Festac "
Tami let out a broad smile and hugged Hanah tightly
"Thought as much, I'll have to get to the estate and I hope my wife is doing well. " Tami said and peeped through the hole of the window.
"That an hour journey from here, let's role"

Chapter 9
Homecoming

Getting to a discreet environment, she stepped on brakes and listened as the pursuing car zoomed pass then through the opposite direction.
"Now " Zara said and turned around, pointing the gun at Tami, who became confuse, everything was happening so fast.

"What's going on, and what's it with pointing gun at me? " Tami shouted in annoyance.
"You See, admist every trial, we always want to make money, even it means killing our brethren, we all know this will be over, but then I need a life time settlement and I don't want anyone interfering " Zara said and giggled.
"There is offer from Eko state government, for who finds a cure, life insurance, monthly salary of 2milli, first class citizen, ARGGH, the list goes on, so this is my moment" Zara said and smacked the butt of the gun on Tami's head.
"Get down, you and that dog, NOOOW!! "

Bisi looked with fear, as Tami and Zilla alighted the vehicle
"On second thought" Zara said and shot Tami at the back.
"NOOOOO!!!! " Bisi shouted, tears already wielded in his eyes. He felt pain within as Tami dropped to the ground.
She jumped to the back of the vehicle and smacked Bisi on the head, sending him unconscious, closed the door and zoomed off.

Chapter 7
Give them Hell

Tami found himself standing right in the middle of a vast endless grave yard, everywhere dark and evil oozing from every angle.
"Dad" he heard his child's voice echo from behind and quickly turned around.
"Jewel" he replied, with a gasp
"You failed us, you abandoned us, you're far from us"

Tami shouted, sweating heavily, he slowly opened his eyes and saw himself laying on the bare ground, Zilla beside him, he was drenched in blood.

As he tried to pull himself up, he felt a sharp pain on the back, from his left shoulder blade.

"This arm is getting completely useless" he muttered to himself and pain, looking around, he saw the bullet in the floor, surprised at how it came out.

He looked at Zilla and saw blood filled in its body, he stretched his right hand back and noticed the wound was wider.
"How come this dog knows about life saving therapy, what ever way, I owe this dog twice for saving my life" he said within himself and stood up, wincing in pain.


"Come on boy " Tami said to Zilla and began walking forward, looking at the sign board on the ground, a light flier flew and hooked under his leg.

He slowly bent down, picked it up and went through the content in it.
"Huurrmph, as long as a cure will be made, but at the same time, he might be going through tough experience especially with someone like these people"

He grinned and winced in pain as pain surged through all his body, he walked up to a car with missing door on the driver's part and was relieved seeing the keys were intact and enough PMS to last him his journey, whatever means he had to see his wife and child, made sure they were alright, from there he would know what next to do.
He waited patiently for Zilla to get in and stepped on the accelerator, taking the over head bridge.

He tuned through the radio only to meet statics, holding the steering with only one hand, Tami knew he had only little chance of survival, adding to it, was the lot of blood he was loosing.
He suddenly stepped on brake, burning the tire against the asphalt.
He managed to put the gear on reverse and drifted to the left.
"ARGGH " he screamed as sharp pain went through his arm.

Going at 120km/hr, Tami knew a single mistake could end his life, but then he had to meet up.
From nowhere, a Z jumped on the car, hearing the loud thud, Tami became alert.
The Z dropped it's head, and growled at Tami who didn't hesitate in dipping two of his right fingers into the eye socket of the Z, almost loosing control, Tami quickly held the steering back with his right hand and used his amputated left arm to hit the Z, sending it off.

Another jumped at the moving car, through the driver's part, which had no door, with perfect timing Tami, stepped on brakes and pulled the hand brake, turned the steering to the right, crushing the Z with the body of the car, Tami heaved and saw from afar as Zs began to troop out from each side.

Tami scoffed and ignited the engine zoomed off. He killed the car engine, from the distance seeing Zara's car.

"She's is still way far from LASUTH, why is she here?" Tami asked himself seeing Zara puffing out smoke from her mouth, leaning against an electric pole.

Not quite long three Rovers appeared from distance.

"Zilla" Tami called out to the dog and whispered into its ear.

Expecting Zilla to do as it was told, Tami became confused seeing it wag it's tail around, and going round in circle
"Do you think that dog saved your life?" a calm feminine voice came behind Tami which startled him to the marrow.
"Sshhh, I'm Hanah, saw what happened between both of you, so I decided to follow" She said and removed her sun glass.

Tami gulped, lost of words, he only nodded his head and winced in pain.
"What's up with the little boy?" Hanah asked and wiped of beads of sweat from her glowing dark skin.
"He's immune" Tami said and felt uncomfortable as Zara pulled Bisi hard behind her and exchange he d him for briefcase, handing him over to the men dressed in black.

"Let's spoil thier little party" Hanah said and brought out two pistols straped to her legs and gave one to Tami.
"I hope your aim is good" she said indirectly referring to his missing arm.
"I'm only missing an arm, not my senses" Tami replied.
**
***
Tami for the first time, brought down a human dead without any feeling of regret, he ducked beside a building as gun fire came at him, he suddenly began to feel dizzy, somehow he had to hang on.
Hanah on the other hand made sure the cars were immobilized by shooting at them.
Seeing things were getting intended, Zara grabbed Bisi, and held to the briefcase and attempted to escape through the nearest exit, only to be shot on the back by one of the dealers.

Bisi grabbed the case and dived beside a metal tank.
"Retreaaaaat!! " one of the dealers shouted seeing three of them were down already.

"The boy or the money! " another shouted and let out a horrible scream as a bullet bored into his right knee
"Fool! " the other shouted and ran off.

"Give them hell, hey come out" Hanah said and walked up to Tami who was already unconscious.

"Boy, get out here and help me carry him into the car" Hanah shouted at Bisi who was still not sure what next to do.

Chapter 8
Second Chance to Live

Hanah, squeezed her face irritates as She tried stabilizing Tami who was constantly going into shock, she peeped through the window, and walked back to Tami who was laying on the bed unconsciously.
"The wound is getting deeper " Bisi said "And he is heating up, what will we do? "
Hanah bite her lower lips and grabbed Bisi by the right wrist

Zara took a sharp turn to the right, perfectly swaying the steering around, to bring back balance to the car.

Getting to a discreet environment, she stepped on brakes and listened as the pursuing car zoomed pass then through the opposite direction.
"Now " Zara said and turned around, pointing the gun at Tami, who became confuse, everything was happening so fast.

Chapter 6
Backstabber


Tami closed his eyes, hoping his brains too burst out from the skull, luckily he was out of ammo, from behind, he saw each Z went down, a group of rugged looking people had come to their rescue, Tami suddenly found strength, he smacked the butt of the gun against the face of a Z, bringing it apart.

"Hop in" A lady shouted from the Land Rover she was in.
Tami grabbed Bisi with his right arm, pulled him on his back and carried Zilla and swiftly dashed off, the car door flinged open and quickly Tami jumped in.

The girl zoomed off, followed by three other cars behind.
"Thank you" Tami said to the girl and smiled at the other girl who was seated beside Bisi.
"Yeah, you should thank our scout that saw you, and where are you headed? "
Tami nodded his head before speaking.
"Came from Ondo for my wife and child"
The girl grinned as she rammed the car against the dead cars, creating forceful path.
"How sure are you that she's alive? "
"I know, they are alive" Tami replied and I think there might be a cure.

The girl suddenly stepped on brakes, jerking everyone forward.

"Why are they stopping? " A man said from the car behind.

The girl turned around and faced Tami then Bisi.
"Where?" the girl asked and pulled out a pistol from under the seat.
"Easy, we all need this and it's no big deal, we all want to come out from this " Tami said and at the same time calmed Zilla.
"Where is the cure?" the girl asked this time in a devilish tone.

"I won't tell you, kill me and it dies with me" Tami said angrily
"Not a problem for me" the girl said and was about pulling the trigger, then Bisi spoke.
"Stop! stop, it's me, I'm immune" Bisi said and looked at Tami who was disappointed
"Good boy, but either way, he dies"

The girl seated beside Bisi leaped forward, disarming the one with the gun, and smacked her face against the steering, sending her unconscious.
"I've always wanted to kill her" she said and pushed her out.

"Stop them, something is wrong, stop them by all means"

The girl took a detour and zoomed off.

"Bidemi, are you alright? " the man asked, puling the girl up to her feet.

"The little boy is immune, I know Zara is trying to get the money to herself, not that she's willing to help, follow them, and Zara is mine" Bidemi shouted and pulled off her jacket.

Entering into Lagos, Tami looked ahead, seeing there was no way the journey could continue with car, either a motorcycle of they did the rest with their legs, everywhere was disorganized and locked down.
"We have to continue on foot" Tami said and picked up the bag in the bag, and threw a bottled water at the boy

"How old are you? "
"Thirteen, I'm Bisi "
***
***
Tami shielded his face from the scorching sun sigh his right hand, seeing a motorcycle ahead, he stopped for once, wondering how it would be convenient for him to handle it with an arm missing.
Bisi assisted him in pulling the motorcycle up, Tami groaned in pain and hit down the stater while Bisi rotated the left handle.
"Come-on" Tami said as he attempted the third time.
A white van screeched slowly on the floor, which got Tami's and BISI's attention, with Zilla standing alert
"What's that? " Bisi asked in fear and looked at Tami who also was dead scared.
"Come-on let's start this and get the hell out"
He hit down the starter, the motorcycle let an engine revive sound and died down again.
"Check for fuel" Bisi suggested.

The car moved again, this time another car also moved.
"There's enough " Tami said in low tone.
Zilla let out a bark and took a step forward, it suddenly dashed at the moving van, slide beneath it, and dashed out back at Tami.

The van flew with force into mid air and somersaulted over Tami's head. Before them was a very huge Z, well built with red burning eyes.

"Good, Lagos has another version of Emo" Tami said and kicked the starter again while Bisi rotated the handle.
Another Z surfaced behind the first, also huge in size, they growled as they moved forward.
"We have to leave this and run" Bisi shouted.
Tami fired the gun at the Zs, seeing it inflicted just little pain in them, he grabbed the bag and ran after Bisi while Zilla also followed behind.

The shadows of a falling car, covered them, stopping abruptly, the car crashed before them, quickly Bisi jumped over and continued running.
"This kid is somehow enhnaced" Tami said, seeing how Bisi ran and leaped over cars.

A Z suddenly showed up before Bisi, who didn't think twice before using his knee to smack the fave of the Z, shattering it completely into pieces.

More Zs began to show, totally rounding the up. Tami unzipped the bag and brought out two pistols.
"Do you know how to her these? "
"No, only in movies I've seen them" Bisi replied.

"Good, now take"
Tami fired round, bringing the Zs down, while Bisi also tried shooting, somehow the force tore his right palm
"I can't use it"
"Law low" Tami shouted, only to see the more he killed them, the more they increased, and we're quickly closing down on him.
"This is where we die, I'll rather end my life, than become one" Tami said and placed the gun on his head, closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Chapter Five
The Gold Z

Tami pushed the almost the door with his leg, walking steady and slowly, stepping on fired leaves on the floor, he heard a soft growl and quickly turned around, suddenly the door shut itself letting out a loud sound, he tried keeping his cool, even being at the disadvantage of loosing a hand. He held the gun up and supported it beneath with the remains of his left arm.

The windows of the building also came shut, creating total darkness.
Tami felt a cold hand around his neck, and immediately pulled the trigger of the gun, shooting at random places.
He felt his leg his someone, he shot at a direction he though a window should be. The window came apart, shredded into pieces, allowing illumination into the building.

Tami saw both men laying lifeless on the ground and quickly searched them for the car key, while he dropped the rifle in the ground.

"You, brought this upon us! " a boy's voice said from a dark corner.
Tami was startled and stood up
"The way I see it, we brought this upon ourselves,nobody knows the cure" Tami replied and approached the corner, hanging the gun on his body.

"Come out, don't be scared "
"Are you sure?"
"I won't hurt you"

A little boy dressed in red round neck shirt and a tree quarter, having a pair of sneakers on his legs came out, revealing his golden color skin.
"You look different" Tami said, rigged to his position.
"I'm immune, the first bite turned my skin this way" The bit said and took a step backward.
"I'm amazed, maybe we have hope, come, be my tracks companion "

wait o I thought Tami is now one handed man

Left arm missing from the elbow downward

Getting to the borders, the driver killed the truck engine and came down, followed by the other, then Tami jumped down from the back.
"Thanks brothers " Tami said and stretched his hand to receive the car key.
"Not so soon" the heavily bearded man said and looked at Tami's missing arm.

"Maggi, needs to be thought a lesson, you see, she might have proved smart, but yet, now, everywhere is no man's land" The man said and whistled.
"Chill, what's wrong? " Tami asked, trying to buy himself time and figure out his next move

"She hijacked my brother's plan and left him to get infected, I've thought of ways to hurt her, then here you are"

The second man, came out from an abandoned building, dropping a Z behind him, bound in chains.
"It'll hurt her to see you that way" The man said and smiled wickedly.
Swiftly, Tami kicked him on the groin and pinned him by the neck, retrieved his gun and placed it on the man's head.
"I won't think twice, leave that Z and turn around" Tami shouted, and pressed down the clip of the revolver, with his thumb.

"I'm warning you" Tami shouted, and pressed the barrel on the man's chin.

Slowly the man let the Z alone and stepped aside, from behind Tami, a Z walked slowly, trying not to make its target aware, seeing the the man moved aside, and spoke
"We are only pained, nothing else, leave him and we promise to be on our way"
Zilla jumped down from the truck and ran at the Z behind Tami ramming itself into the Z, Tami loosed concentration, looked back and quickly the heavily bearded man, loosed himself from Tami's grip and pushed him at the Z.
Tami rolled away from the Z, slightly dodging the slash the Z sent at him.
Both men, immediately took to their heels, right into the abandoned building.
The Z grabbed Zilla and was about ripping it off, when a bullet pierced it's head.
"Leave me dog, Zilla, get over here" Tami looked at the building and walked at it.
"I need that key" he said and grabbed an assualt rifle and tucked two cartridges into his pocket.
"Zilla, wait here" he said and ran towards the building.

Survivors 2

Tami slowly opened his eyes, welcomed by the fresh sweet aroma of locally made tea, he turned his head to left, and saw movement of people around him, chattering of children, laughter from every corner, even Zilla was quite excited as it wagged it's tail, turning round a child
"Argh! " Tami groaned as he stood up.
"Your dog, it's a true fighter, what's his name? " a cool feminine voice said from the end of the room
Tami turned towards the voice and smiled on seeing the familiar face
"Maggi" he said in excitement.
Maggi before the apocalypse was a very successful cloth dealer, and also you wife's younger sister.
"Why are you alone, my sister" Maggi said, her countenance instantly changing.
"Alive, they went to Lagos for her friends party and also decided to spend some time with my mother" Tami said and let out a wince.
"I'm relieved to hear that, so you're going for them? "
"Yeah" Tami replied and looked around.
"You lost an arm"
"Not completely, this could still deal some damage"
Maggi stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.
"Here, the infection rate is high, hearing of the case from other part of the country, I immediately led a team of able bodied, securing our future, I persuaded a corrupt friend of mine in the government to change papers, you know what that means, purchased the entire 30,000 acres of land here in Ibadan, so literally it's a humble town with enough security " Maggi said, with a bossy voice.
"You are playing politicsin here" Tami replied
"In every situation we must survive"

Tami followed Maggi outside, surprised by the effort Maggi had put into it, transformed it into a haven, far from the main city
"Zilla" Tami shouted at the dog, who immediately ran to him.
"Maggi, we have to leave as soon as possible, so I can bring them back, I'll be needing little resources, food, ammunition, water and the likes" Tami said calmly.


Tami three the last of the bottled water into the truck, and tucked a revolver into his trouser.
"I picked two men, to see you off the borders and make sure you're safe until you leave Ibadan" Maggi said and tapped the body of the truck.
"Thanks, I'll contact you" Tami said and climbed at the back of the truck, strapped the machine gun above the truck tightly and tapped the truck and immediately the truck zoomed off.

Tami felt a hard bite on his left arm, following instinct he kicked the Z, and quickly made for the door, within the span of seconds he began to feel fever running through him, his temperature was beginning to rise, he quickly shot the door against the Z and crawled on the floor in pains.
"No, I'd rather die, than become one of these" Tami said.
The light in the hotel came on, Tami looked at his arm that was bitten and saw it already went pale, and speedily it was moving through his body, with his veins becoming blue.

He made his way to the hotel kitchen, with Zilla following behind, he tore a piece of cloth and tied it around his arm, above the infected area and grabbed a huge kitchen knife from the shelf.
"God, please make this work" Tami said and began breathing heavily, sweat breaking out involuntary from his face, the infection was speedily catching up with him.

He dipped pieces of cloth into his mouth, to prevent his scream from letting out and with one swing, Tami chopped off his left arm, from the elbow downward.

He let out a loud muffling cry, as blood oozed out from his hand, the pan which he had left of fire, he grabbed it by the handle and burnt his amputated arm to fry the surface, so as to stop the blood flow.
"Agh Agh, hmm" Tami panted as he fell exhausted to the ground, feeling weak in every part of his body, his prayers were to survive andat the state he was, not to be found by any Z.

Zilla whimpered as a soft growl came from the exit door of the kitchen, as slowly became louder.
"No" Tami said and went unconscious
