Chai...I literally come online just to check out on Topher's new updates. Thanks dear.


I feel for Andrew sha. Being among Giants especially the ones that are carnivorous in nature is dreadful. I pray he wins the fight. In fact he will win! : smiley

Susan on the other hand is stucked with an injured Abdul. God help them as they are about to face an unexpected combat.

Weldone Topher, I really enjoy every bit of this story, very intriguing.

Forgive me but I derive faith from Andrew's words "not today" and I use it in any tough situation I find myself in, believe me it works for me.

Bankygee can't some of us be ghost readers in peace?

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Abdul sat in the backseat nursing the pain burning through his shoulder. He was tired and weak but tried not to let the ladies perceive his weakness.

Susan and Kate decided to shade from the stabbing rays of the sun inside the petrol house while waiting for Abdul to come around before deciding their next bearing.

A red BMW slowly drove in. Kate spotted them and moved inquisitively to the window. The car stopped in front of the Mazda.

Abdul rose up gently eyeing the BMW car observantly. Two men stepped down from the backseat and started towards Abdul circumspectly with their eyes covered in a dark shade. This spooked Kate and she ran inside pulling Susan with her.

" they're here!". Kate cried.

" who?" Susan inquired.

" the bad guys!". Kate's voice shook tremulously.

Abdul immediately held on to his gun and dug his head in a little while watching the men. They brought out their guns and carefully moved towards the opened backseat door .

Abdul laid on his back with his eyes shooting brightly. Every sign of weakness disappeared and an impromptu strength embraced him.

One of the men moved closer on Abdul's side. He was trying take a look into the car when a bullet hit him the chest and he fell. The other moved away and turned to the BMW where the remaining two and the macho man stepped down briskly.

Abdul slowly raised his head and peeped through the seat and saw the four men forging forward in an arc in front of the car.

Two of the men moved towards the left and the macho man with the other man earlier moved towards the opened door.

Abdul saw them coming and bent over to retrieve the gun in the front seat add to the one he had. He then held the guns in each hand looking hastily on both directions with his body sagged below the backseat.

One of the men at the right side, took off his sun shade and shoved it in his jacket breast pocket, Looked at the man beside him, they both exchanged a nod and opened fire. The macho man and his mate joined in shooting from the other side.

Susan and Kate hid themselves in the inner room shivering looking around in fear. The sound of gunshots made them both jumped and hugged each other.

Abdul had to retaliate. He slide over with his back at the gear side, hands spread opposite directions shooting through the glasses and hit one of the men on his right in the neck and others took cover immediately.

Abdul's shoulder pounded with excruciating pain. He bite it back and quickly moved his body to the front seat with head low. Another gunshot came from his left and narrowly missed his head. He turned swiftly and replied with a shot hitting the man in the eye; quickly engaged the engine and sped towards the road with the two men left shooting behind him.

The men hurried into their car and headed for the road raising dust as the car screeching through the sandy road.

Abdul suddenly remembered Susan wasn't with him. He cursed, hitting the steering angrily. Then spotted the BMW nudging from behind in his rare mirror.

He knew he had to do something fast, and all he could think of was to spin the steering and the car turned 180 degree with the driver's passengers side tire hanging in the air and dropped; now face-to-face with the BMW.

The macho man was flabbergasted by Abdul's stunt, smiled, " i can see you want to die! My pleasure!". He said and pointed his gun towards the Mazda from his side glass.

Pain stabbed harder in Abdul's shoulder from turning the steering that hard. He held the car steady and pointed the gun through the open side glass with his bad hand.

The two cars raced towards each other and few distance away the macho man opened fire and Abdul retaliated. Few gunshots hit Abdul's windscreen, one missed him and he hasn't gotten a shot yet due to the pain in his shoulder.

The cars were almost colliding when Abdul succeeded in hitting the driver of the BMW in the forehead and the macho man simultaneously hit the Mazda's left front tire. Before Abdul could swerve off the BMW, the punctured tire spun the steering off hands, ran into the incoming car and flew over the BMW while the BMW spun 360 degrees and somersaulted.



The crowd cheered hysterically and body heat made the circle hot and sweaty but the excited giants seemed to cared less.

Andrew couldn't bring himself to be ready yet, he watched as the athletic man started towards him in attack, he found himself moving backwards in fright but some huge hands pushed him to a straight punch that threw him to the floor.

Everywhere went silent for a second and a kick on Andrew's injured side awakened him promptly to a sharp pain . He cried out loud holding his wound.

The athletic man looked down at Andrew triumphantly. Boko seeing he was loosing another bet and a human that his daughter loved, put his fingers in his mouth biting them in anguish.

The athletic man held Andrew's head and pulled him up facing him. Andrew pleaded pathetically. " please, please stop!". The man laughed satisfactorily and lodge an head-butt on Andrew's nose, followed with a upper cut that brought the sky into his eyes and threw him on his butt.

Andrew was already bleeding from his nose and lower lip. He saw the man coming again and immediately stood up to run. Hands from the crowd stopped him and pushed him so hard he fell in the middle of the circle.

Boko was so disappointed he stood up and walked away ignoring Liq's mocking laughter.

The man turned Andrew over, sat on his tummy and began strangling him by the neck. Andrew's lungs knotted from air, he tried everything he could to break free but the hands seemed immovable. Andrew saw death coming and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Suddenly, he saw Susan standing both scared embraced behind his strangler.

"baby what is this! Why are you allowing a fellow man to beat you up like this and you're not fighting back! Get up baby! Fight! Fight baby!". Susan's voice echoed in his ears.

With every strength he could grasp, Andrew gave the man a straight punch in the throat. Immediately he let go and rolled off clinging to his neck giving Andrew leverage to catch enough air coughing, it felt like narrowly escaping death.

And as Andrew was getting to his feet, he caught the man coming after him angrily. Without thinking, Andrew jumped on the man's waist with his shoulder pushing him down, he fell hitting his head on a rock and died instantly. The crowd went quiet. The undefeatable has been killed by an amateur.

Andrew slowly stood up feeling bad that he killed a man and was scared as the crowd went mute looking ominously at him. None bet on Andrew save Boko who likes to stake on the disadvantage to get more gain, not even Liq who cheered him on bet on Andrew.

Boko heard the sudden silence at a corner where he sat in a gloomy state counting his losses. He slowly stood up and moved curiously closer to the crowd only to see Andrew standing and the athletic champion on the floor. Like an excited school boy he pushed his way into the middle and lift Andrew into the air joyfully.

The way Andrew has been escaping death narrowly is what we call foreshadowing in literature/movies and topher knows how to do this well if you follow his previous stories

I might be wrong tho but I don't see Andrew and Susan living happily ever after

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

The BMW was upside down and completely wrecked. The macho laid facing up with blood flowing from his brows and head.

He opened his eyes and slowly looked beside him to the driver whom his mid-region was hanging through the windscreen bloodily dead.

He slowly moved himself crawling with his back through the side window,and placed his elbow on a broken glass, flinched and retrieved it swiftly. He laid half way out looking at the new cut when his eyes fell on Abdul's car standing on the passengers wide.

Immediately, he hurried out of the car and bent in again on his knees searching for his gun. His fingers stumbled on the butt shooting out faintly under the dead drivers thighs and quickly pulled it out, moved out of the car and struggled up with hands on his laps supporting him. Limping, he walked towards Abdul's car.

He came few steps away and pointed his gun forward, limped towards the back glass and looked in; there was no sign of Abdul. He came even closer, Abdul wasn't there.

"looking for me?". Abdul voice called in Arabic pointing a gun at the back of the mans head. He had snuck through the windscreen when he heard footsteps approaching.

The man slowly turned with his hands still pointing forward. Seeing the little bullet hole now between his forehead, a large grin spread on his face. "hmm. You are a hard nut to crack".

Abdul moved slowly away from him transfix so he could know when he tries to be smart. "who...you...be!". Abdul spattered, nodding briskly.

The man smiled and spread his hands apart. "we want the girl. She killed someone and she's very dangerous!".

Abdul thought it through and eyed him. " why kill me?". He forced out of his mouth.

The man put down his hands and dropped the gun. His face relaxed as he said. "you don't pay attention to details, do you?".

Abdul waved the gun in his face impatiently and he continued.

"I said she is dangerous! So is everyone she's with, don't you get it?". He studied Abdul and added. ". Just let me have her and you will be richly rewarded". A smirk appearing on his face.

Abdul's mind was busy. He fought the intense crave to empty the bullet on him as he tried to decide what to do.

"thinking?". He smiled shaking his head guessingly. ". If you kill me, you will have to run for ever". He looked at Abdul amusingly. "or take that load off your hands and I will be on my way". staring at Abdul's shoulder. " you have a handful already".

Abdul's eyes suddenly beamed of life, he turned to the car, took a quick survey and motioned him with the gun. "push... down!".

The man smiled, flexed his muscles and grunt slightly, then placed his hands on the car and pushed it down with much strain.

Abdul motioned him to move backwards and limped to where the man's gun was, picked it up without taking his eyes off him, looked into the car; the roof had compressed in the back seat. The door on the passengers side was folded in-out. The windscreen partly removed and everything smashed in front of the opened bonnet.

He went around to the driver side and tried to open the door but it was stock. He dropped the guns on top of the wrinkled car and used his good hand with his body pushing hard before the door could open. He turned to the man while placing the guns beside the driver seat and entered; tried the ignition, the car cried and stopped. He tried again, it gave a coughing sound and stopped. Abdul shook his head and imagined the distance to the petrol station, he was so weak and dizzy.


Mayor just finished a meeting with some well fed men from all race in his exquisitely furnished conference room in his mansion. They shook hands with Mayor before departing.

After they had all gone, Mayor sat on the chair behind him, took off his hat and golden framed dark shade and placed them by his side on the large table and picked up his cellular, punched in some digits, then placed it on his ears and waited resting his back on the chair.

" yeah. Mayor!". Mayor said calmly.."the daughter is missing. Any news about him ? Who? His friend? Okay, he may have an idea".

A neatly dressed handsome European man in blue suit walked in and waited for mayor to finish with his call. Mayor eyed him and pointed to a seat across the table." Yes. You have to begin the shipment...yes I know, that's the problem. But we can't wait. Lets hope they find her. Okay, thanks. Bye!". Hanging up he turned to the young man. "Peter, any news from the boys?".

The man shook his head and said in a broken tone. " the cops have found the bodies in the containers, but no trace to us yet. They're investigating it right now". Then his face stiffened and looked perplexed. " what if she doesn't have an idea? What are we going to do?".

Mayor looked around uneasily and suddenly gained back his composure, she sat up with his elbows on the table and fingers together in front of his face. " they have found her father's friend. That's something right?". Mayor said in his usual calmed voice.

Peter shook his head and said impatiently. " he is alone runner, he tells no one nothing! His wife is his only confidant. Even the girl is part of his circle".

Mayor placed his head on the table and suddenly raised It up. " lets pray the boys finds her!". His face stern.



Andrew knelt beside the fire while the female cooked in the cave house. His face was faced down and hands knotted backwards.

The female really enjoys Andrew that way. Since Gbique was fast asleep and Boko snoring his guts out she had all the time to enjoy herself.

She kept stealing glances at Boko as she smiled and chuckled. A thought crossed through her mind she looked at Andrew shyly and "hmm!".

Andrew slowly looked up and she motioned with her hand on her back for him to scratch constantly glancing at Boko.

Andrew stood up and took a peek at Boko who was fast asleep. Heaved, slowly moved to her hairy back and began scratching. She closed her eyes licking her lips enjoying it. Andrew feared she shouldn't go beyond just her back with the way she seemed carried away.

Boko suddenly opened his eyes and caught Andrew in the act. He sat up sharply and roared startling the female and Andrew to jump facing him. Gbique woke up and turned to her father who stood covering the house with his size.

In anger, Boko moved frantically towards the shivering female who knelt immediately with her face on the floor begging. Boko's anger has blinded him with fury, he picked her up by the neck and threw her out of the house. Gbique tried to stop him, he pushed her to the fire, but she managed to fall beside it.

He dashed out like an infuriated beast, mount on her while she laid crying on the floor and picked her up again by the neck, threw her head hard to the floor and smashed her head with his big foot severely until she laid still. He then turned to the cave breathing heavily and started towards it for Andrew.
