Chapter Forty- One Running Late Oscar sat in front of Mayor in the small waiting room silently looking at him for about a minute already with his hands rested on the table between them with a blue bulb suspended by a wire hanging from the roof, a standing fan humming beside him. Mayor sat comfortably with his back rested on the chair and arms folded returning Oscar's stare confidently. "what the hell are you looking at, spill the beans and get it off your screwed chest!". Mayor coldly said feeling irritated. Oscar slowly sat back and folded his arms mimicking Mayor's posture. " the man who killed my wife". Oscar's tone fighting back anger. Mayor stretched his lips to one side in a cruel smile. "Yes, I killed her. You betrayed me!". And his face became mean "where is the attack taking place". Oscar changed the topic moving closer to the table. " which attack?". Mayor sounded confused scratching his beards. " stop acting dumb with me, I don't have all day!". Oscar said coldly. Mayor looked away clapping his lips. Oscar suddenly stood up, turned over the table falling Mayor down backwards. He charged like a wounded lion, pulled aside the table, grabbed the flabbergasted Mayor up, and pushed his back hard on the wall with his hands on his neck. " now look here you scum! I have no time for your silly bossy games, tell me when the next attack is to take place or I'll get it out of you in a way I'll really enjoy doing". Oscar breathing heavily in rage. Mayor's burning eyes became cold and then he smiled but said nothing. This infuriated Oscar that he gave him a hard punch in the belly and pushed him hard on the wall. Gave his a straight head butt in the nose and another punch on his lips. The door opened and two of the security men rushed in. Oscar slowly turned to them with his hands on Mayor's collar shirt. "everything is fine. Get me water and towel". The men nodded and walked away looking at Mayor that was wiping the blood from his nose with the back of his hands. Oscar turned to mayor and said. "I'm going to enjoy every bit of this". Mayor smiled and replied. " Me too". Few minutes later, Mayor was on the table faced up with his head falling downwards from the table. A blue bucket directly under his head, his shirt off and three heavily built men holding him down; one on his right and left hands with another holding down his legs. Mayor showed no sign of fear, he watched as one of the men covered his face with a towel. Oscar came with a jog of water and slowly emptied it on Mayor's face. He struggled trying to break free but the hands holding him was too strong for him. Oscar finished and removed the towel. Mayor spat out water coughing and gasping for air. Oscar waited for him to normalize before he asked. " ready to talk?". Oscar turned to a weird laughter coughing and he said amidst his unsettled state. " is that all you got?". Oscar angrily covered his face and continued. Meanwhile, a young Arabian man in his early twenties was walking nervously towards a busy mall with a backpack on his back containing explosive that will detonate when he dials a number. He looked at a woman arguing with her adolescent daughter and a man coming out of the mall with a lady. A hand hand tapped him from behind and he jerked around. A lady covered up in black said to him. "I'll take the top and you the down part of the building. The other two are in there waiting for us. See you in paradise". And she walked past him to the mall. A ball rolled over to the young Arabian's foot, he looked at it and to the three year old girl running towards him to fetch it with her parent smiling at the Arabian. The Arabian shook his head shaking off sentiment and pity reminding himself of paradise, he heaved and continued into the mall. " where?". Oscar asked angrily. He was getting frustrated by Mayor's refusal to comply. Mayor breathing heavily turned to him smiling. "you're wasting your precious time brother". The door suddenly opened and one of the men bagged in with a phone in his hand with terror written on his face. Oscar turned to him apprehensive. " what's it!". Oscar yelled. "The king square mall has been attacked. Over four thousand dead". The man said looking ominously at Mayor's amused face. Oscar felt weak and slowly turned to Mayor and abruptly grabbed his neck strangling him. His men pulled him off Mayor and encouraged him to get a hold on himself. " that is just one. The president has refused to release Aladdin. Until he does we are taking down many more souls!". Mayor said with a smirk. Aladdin was a notorious terrorist and also was the chairman of the Elders until his capture which took down half of the troops that came for him. One of the leaders of his strong guards was Abdul, but they were out numbered in an ambush hence, the reason they succeeded in capturing Aladdin. Alladin was not only a terrorist but a greedy man whose ambition for wealth and power was insatiable driving him to do all sought of nefarious acts so long as he get what he wanted. Abdul's car started overheating and stopped. He alighted and opened the bonnet that was covered in smoke. The sun was literally burning his skin like one close to a furnace. The engine suddenly caught fire. In the confusion, he tried to quench the fire with sand, tried using his mouth to blow it off, took off his shirt, hitting the engine with it, but the whole thing right before his eyes went up in flames and then exploded. He ran backwards covering his face. There was nothing he could do anymore than to sit and watch his only source of escape on fire with thick black smoke. After twenty minutes of nursing his frustration, he stood up and looked around, he was still far away from the town. The car was still burning and the sun was becoming unbearable. He then decided to give in to fate and walk. The sun reduced its nefarious scourging and the wind began to cool the burnt layer of Abdul's skin. His throat was dried of thirst as he made his way on the sandy desert. A pickup van was coming in front of Abdul. He felt like he just had all his life wishes come to pass. Like a deranged man, he took off his clothe and waved in the air jumping, jumping and screaming. The drivers; two elderly men returning from a supply saw him and the one covered in muffler turned to his colleague. " what do you think?". His colleague frowned and screened the area swiftly. " another luggage. I hope the boss does not think we took money from them". Then he added. " lets pick him". And so they pulled over in front of Abdul. " What happened?". The driver asked. " My car got burnt down from over heating". Abdul said tiredly. The men exchanged glances and the other said to Abdul. "jump in the back". " thank you so much". Abdul said gratefully and made to hop in when his eyes fell on a man lying on his side backing him. He paused and looked at the men. " yeah. He was bitten by a snake. We found him on our way back. I think he's still alive". The driver said hurriedly engaging the gear to move. Abdul jumped in and sat beside the man as the van drove off. |

Chapter Forty-Two The Devils Advocate Oscar sat in front of Mayor who also was seated now but cuffed to his chair. The door opened and two men came in with Peter. When Mayor saw Peter, his expression changed to an uneasy one. Oscar saw what he wanted to see before Mayor comforted himself and became expressionless. "Blood. Blood can break a man". Oscar said and nodded to the men with Peter. The dragged the already battered young man to a chair and cuffed his hands and legs to it. Then one of the men opened the tool box and took out a chisel with a hammer. Mayor was puzzled. He wondered what they needed those for and why. The man with the chisel came to Peter's finger, placed it on full length of the big finger and hit the hammer on it, the finger fell to the ground. Peter cried hysterically in pain. Mayor turned away his face. " One gone, Nine remaining". Oscar said looking steadily at Mayor. The man placed on the next, and hit. The finger fell in-between Peter's laps. Peter cried with tears and catarrh gushing out. " daddy please! Tell them what they want to hear! Please daddy!". Peter begged Mayor. Mayor still refused to look at him, his face was turned to his left side. The man continued with the rest of Peters fingers until he took out all ten of them, yet Mayor refused to bulged. Oscar slowly stood up, took a pistol from one the men, placed on a weeping Peter's head. Turned to Mayor. " say goodbye to your son". Mayor slowly turned and said to Peter in steady tone with no trace of emotion. " a soldier must die like one. Stop crying like a baby! Die like one". Then he turned to Oscar. " do your worse! The city is going down!". Oscar and the men were completely spellbound by Mayor's reaction. Then Oscar regretfully turned to the sobbing Peter and pulled the trigger in close range; blood spattered as Peter's head dropped to a side. Mayor looked at his son and wished he had killed Kate when he had the chance. His only regret now was not killing her. Kate and Susan went around the town to get abortion pills but no pharmacy had it and no hospital carries out abortion as it was against the country's law. " I have a friend in the general hospital that can help us". Kate said to Susan in the car on their way to the hospital. " I don't care if I die doing it, I don't want this evil seed in me". Susan sounded desperate. Kate held her hand. " don't worry, you wont die. We will get rid of it without complications". They arrived the hospital. Kate called the doctor in the car to inform him of their presence. He asked them to come to the second floor and wait in the reception. A man in his late thirties walked past Kate and Susan car into the building. He carried a small suitcase dressed in shirt and trouser. He looked around the hospital; most of the nurses were on hijab and patients moving about. Then he walked in to reception, sat down with other persons waiting. Then took out a Nokia 3310, nervously looked around and began dialing a number. Kate and Susan where few distance between their car and the hospital's entrance. " The doctor is crushing on me". Kate said and chuckled. "I like him too, you should see him, he is very handsome. That is why I know he'll do it. So don't worry. It's all going to be alright". Susan smiled and looked behind Kate into the entrance of the hospital. " I wish it was...". Before Susan could finish her statement, an explosion from the hospital building threw her and Kate into the air. Kate landed with her back on the car and Susan was thrown over the car to the top of a flower across the road. Few seconds later, Susan stood up feeling woozy and couldn't hear a thing. The whole place was turned apart with smoke and fire coming out of the hospital. People laid on the floor, some struggling to their feet, cars on fire. She was bleeding from the side of her head and her right leg shocked her so bad that she couldn't stand on it. Her tummy hurt like a knife was dug into her. Then she looked up at the building in flames with thick smoke and dust. Her eyes fell on the car they came in that was also was on fire. Immediately she remembered Kate. She tried to move, her right leg shocked her terribly in pain, she fell. She managed to stand on her left leg, and limped through the frenzy to the car shouting Kate's name still couldn't hear anything. A fat lady running pushed Susan down and continued without looking back. She struggled up again on her left leg and continued limping towards the car swerving through people running to fro in confusion ignoring the pain in her tummy that was bleeding as a result of a stab from a flower stem she wasn't yet aware of. And when she got to their car, she saw Kate lying on her tummy beside the burning car. She rushed to her and tried to pull Kate away from the car but her leg shocked her again terribly and she fell. She staggered up and tried; the pain in her stomach increased but she looked passed it pulling Kate away. She only succeeded to get her slightly farther and sagged on her good leg. Turned Kate to her and what she saw scared her; Kate's head was ripped open and thick brain tissue mixed with blood rolled down her face that was now black with smoke. The van hit a gallop and Andrew rolled over. Abdul saw his face and stiffened. He slowly moved closer to be sure he was seeing right. When convinced, he wondered how Andrew survived the fall and still alive. " he's only a man after all". Abdul said to himself to clear his fear of Andrew being mystical. The car soon came to a halt close to the city and the driver turned to Abdul. " come down here! This is how far I can carry you". " I know this man. Where are you taking him to?". Abdul asked. " Hospital". The other replied. " can I come with him? I know him, he's a friend". Abdul pressed on. The men deliberated with themselves and the driver kicked off. Few minutes later, they were in front of what looked like an abandoned primary school with patients lying on a bench in front. The driver alighted and came to the back. His colleague followed. Abdul helped to bring Andrew down while the men assisted to lay him on the floor. Abdul jumped down and the men returned to their car and drove off. Two young nurses in hijab came out with a stretcher. " what is wrong with him?". One of the nurses asked. " I don't know". Abdul said and immediately realized the reason he wanted to stay with Andrew was because he wanted to know how Andrew survived the fall. The nurses hauled Andrew into the stretcher with Abdul's help and they placed him on the floor beside the hospital door. Few minutes later a fat female doctor came to inspect Andrew. She opened his eyes and checked his heartbeat then spotted the covering on Andrew's toe. She removed it and saw an injury that was bruised open. She then told the nurses to run a test on him and stood up. " what's wrong with him?". Abdul asked with concern. " high fever is all I can detect. But I suspect snake bite judging by the cut on his leg. Let's run a test and see. Meanwhile, we will administer something to stabilize him". The doctor said and walked away. Boko and Liq continued through the desert in search for Andrew. |
