EPISODE

I watched as the girl shook as though she was frightened by the presence of the men who came for us.

The leader looked at us one after the other, then asked in surprise. " where is the other mans?"

We all kept quiet, I could sense the tension in the air, even I was scared of what may happen next.

He came closer to Daniel looking menacing at him " what happen to the man's that is follow you people?"

Daniel looked up to catch his face but buried it almost immediately without saying a word. The leader took out a pistol buried under his belt and pointed it on Daniels chest.

" answer me or die". He said and clinched his teeth, frowning his face.

We were all looking hopelessly at the leader. I could see from the look on his face that he would pull the trigger any moment. Daniel stood like a drowning man looking at the face of the leader.

The little girl suddenly rushed forward and knelt beside the leader. " please, don't kill him! The soldiers killed them but Daniel saved us with that gun. They would have killed us all if not that he fought them back".

I was too surprised that I left my mouth open for awhile watching her perfect innocent display.

The leader turned to her and looked like he was studying her face. Then he asked finally. " where their body?"

She pointed behind her from where we came from. Then the leader turned to his men and said something to them. They turned to us and motioned us forward.

After walking for two hours or so, it was dark. I was dying of thirst and my leg and hip no longer hurt, it was on fire. I had already caught a fiver and managed with the help of Mary to walk that distance.

We stopped under a tree and made two camp fires; one for the armed me with their leader and one for us. I sat with my back against a tree trunk shivering with high fiver. Six armed men sat around us discussing amongst themselves.

Few minutes after we settled, two men came over to our camp and pointed their guns at the little girl. She moved backwards towards Mary in fright. One of the men moved hastily to her and dragged her away as she struggled with him screaming. Every other person watched helplessly as they dragged her away.

" oh god, let it not be that they want to rape her again. That's how they rape her every night". The fat lady said almost in tears.

" she's not being raped" I said.

They all turned to me. I realized I shouldn't have said anything directly so as not to leak my know of who the girl was and put myself in danger, so I rephrased my statement. " they won't want to rape her because of what happened today. They're probably still in shock by now".

" that's true" Daniel said and followed the direction they took through. " she saved me today and I can't do anything for her".

I looked at Daniel from the reflection of the camp fire, his face was laden with emotion. Then I turned to the fat woman, she was crying silently. Mary just sat looking into the fire in deep thought, she kept mentioning Calista and Jude. I listened closely to understand what she meant.
Mary: I should have followed Calista to that party. I wouldn't have kept Mike in this condition, it's all my fault. We may die here, who knows. Jude must be happy when I die, he must be so so happy that I'm gone. Calista and Jude would be making love on top of that bed I bought with my money, not that I care though. What did I ever do to him? why does he hate me this much? What if we die here...

The men returned with the little girl and everyone's attention turned to her as she limped over clinging to her tummy.

As soon as she came closer, Mary and Daniel went to help her sit and sat beside her as she cried. The fat lady moved closer to and asked curiosly.

" what happened? "

"they raped me in turns". She said and cried more.

Mary embraced her passionately and looked at me with tears in her eyes. I turned away to the two guards waiting on us who were busy talking and laughing. If only they knew who she was?. Then returned to the little gathering around the girl.

" what do they want?" Daniel asked.

" what else if not money!" The fat lady said angrily and turned to Mary. " you could be next. Be strong, we are getting out of this alive"

The little girl slowly raised up her head before Mary could reply. " they may kill us all tomorrow or sell us to people who buys human parts. He said we are becoming a burden to them. Please we have to call everyone one we know, I just called my father, he promised them the money". She said in tears.

" I really don't have money. My son is still in search of job, my husband is late, what will I do?" The fat lady lamented.
Daniel turned to the little girl. " how much are they asking for?"

" 10 million". She replied.

Daniel's face dropped in frustration. " I can't afford that. But I can raise 5 million". He said muttering to himself.

The fat lady turned to him expectantly and pleaded. "Please, tell them you are paying for both of us. They will kill me if they find out I can't afford anything. I'm just a small trader, I don't know how I got here".

Daniel turned to her and nodded blankly. Then he looked at Mary who was far in thought still holding the little girl in her embrace. " what about you?"

Mary turned to him with a startled look in her eyes and slowly loosened her embrace on the girl. Then she looked at me where I sat observing the tension in their midst; I forced a smile and she returned to Daniel and said in an uncertain tone. " we are together".

They all turned to me and then everyone settled into their own thoughts and worries except the little girl. I monitored her closely, she pretended to be in deep thought but was considering who was dispensable or not and each time she kept stealing glances at the fat woman.

That night, everyone slept really deep. I woke up and caught the little girl sneaking off in the shadows of the moonlight because our camp fire had burned out. I pretended as if I was asleep and watched as she whispered something to the one of the guards pointing at the fat woman whose snoring disturbed the peace of the night. Then she hurriedly returned to us and took her position on the floor.

Sleep left my eyes immediately but my leg and hip still hurt. I watched as the guard walked towards the other camp and disappeared out of sight. I knew I had to do something. I looked around, the guards were still very active. I turned to my colleagues, they were all sleeping peacefully.

I slowly tapped Mary's leg and she jerked up, looked around in hostility then caught my sight. I shush and beckoned her over. She looked at me in alertness and slowly moved towards me, rest her back on the same tree trunk with me so she wouldn't draw attention.

I whispered into her ears. " we have to get that woman out of here".

Her eyes widened and she asked a little louder. " why? "

I covered her mouth with my hand and turned to the girl if her eyes was opened and when convinced she may not have heard Mary's voice, I whispered again. " they may kill her tonight".

The surprised look on Mary's face was typical. I ignored her and looked around for anyone was watching us.

" how do we get her out of here?" She whispered.

" I don't know... that's why I called you, so we can think of something together".

She looked deep in thought and suddenly stiffened with a finger in the air.

" what?" I asked abruptly.

I'll create distraction and you will tell her to escape. I thought of the idea but it was a 50/50 chance. Moreover, it was dark and they wouldn't know when she sneaks off . Then I nodded in agreement.

Mary took in some large air and exhaled several times, went back to where she laid and lied down. After two minutes, she jumped up screaming "snake! snake!"

The rest sleeping jumped and ran confusingly around. I quickly grabbed the fat woman as he ran, jumping towards me and whispered quickly into her ears. " no snake, it's a distraction for you to escape! They'll kill you tonight. Run!"

She looked at me with an eye filled with questions. There was no time, the guards were already distracted and her chance was wearing out in five seconds. I pushed her toward the nearest bush and she immediately snuck out, while Mary jumped about scattering everything, putting everyone in confusion and panic.

The guards from the other camp came over and one of them held Mary still. " stop! Where snake?".

Mary looked around like a demented being, pointing frighteningly. The men followed her gaze but there was nothing in view, although there was no torch light to ensure there was actually a snake or not.

The leader came to the commotion and said yelled something to the guards, they began searching the area immediately. He looked at Mary and asked. " you sure you see snake?"

" big black snake! It climbed me. I felt its coldness on me!" Mary said shivering.

I stood looking at how real Mary pulled it off. While they were searching, a voice called our attention. We all turned towards it and saw the fat lady in front in the shadow of the moonlight and two men behind her saying something in their language. My heart sank in despair. I turned to Mary, she too was as shocked and heart broken as I was.

Topher052, thanks for the update.

pu7pl3:
I'm tired of this whole kidnapping debacle..felt like we have been stuck here(this part of the story) for too long

Not only you.

Assuming the guy has the full story available at an affordable price on OkadaBooks, I would have just got a copy, skip or rush through some unnecessary part and read the end of the story.

That's what I did for the story "Hit them dead" by AdeSpades.

When the suspense is too much, the story becomes boring.

u got me glued to this story since yesterday that I started, I could not even close the tab sef...nice one... judiciously constructed piece of writing

Thanks Mehn but this post its small naw

More Grease to your elbow bro..
Been glued since 2days
Buh the kidnap suspense is much

toper052 this would make a good movie sha

The updates are coming too late these days, so sorry, just too busy. Mabinu.

Episode

I watched as they pushed her in front of the leader, he moved over to the lady with his pistol in his hand; I was filled with anxiety and tension that I couldn't keep steady.

" please...please... I was only trying to ease myself". She said going on her knees.

The leader pointed the gun on her forehead. I stood behind him looking without knowing what to do.

" please...spare me. I'm the breadwinner in my family, my kids still needs me, please". She pleaded.

I had this strong feeling to do something, I couldn't stand watching her get killed without a fight at least. I turned to the men around us, there was no way I could play a smart one without being shot instantly moreover the odd was against me, I couldn't even escape with my bad legs. I thought of who to use as leverage for escape; the girl seem expendable, the only person apparently of value was the leader, but he was out of my reach.

While I was still thinking, Daniel knocked down a guard standing in front of him, took his gun from and pointed it at the leader's back in a swift second. He was visibly shaking as he looked around apprehensively.

" let her go!" Daniel blotted.

The guards all cautiously pointed their guns at Daniel, Mary and the girl ran to stand behind me, but the leader did not move a muscle, he still had his gun pointed at the fat woman.

" Dude, get out of here with the ladies!" Daniel said to me in a shaky tone.

" what about you?" I asked.

" don't worry, this is the death I have always wanted, now go!" He replied.

I turned to Mary and pushed the little girl away from her. Mary and the little girl gave me a surprised look.

" she's a mole! She's been spying on us!". I said pulling Mary away from the girl.

Everyone turned surprisingly at me for an explanation.

" it's a lie! He's lying!" The girl yelled.

" I saw her going to give them information this night. That's why Mary pulled that stunt to save the lady". I said.

Daniel pointed the gun at the leaders back who still held his gun at the fat ladies face and screamed. " let her go now!"

I knew I had to stay behind to work with Daniel on whatsoever suicide mission he had in mind, so I whispered into Mary's ear. " run, run far away".

She held my hand and pulled me, I resisted and was going to repeat myself when a loud gun shot flickered bright yellow light from Daniel's direction. I turned towards the it but was mentally destabilized by more gunshot that followed. The guards retaliated and it was flashes of yellow lights and loud gun sounds everywhere.

In that frenzy, I pulled Mary's hand and ran into the bush with my bad hip and legs limiting me. As we ran we heard further gunshots, I knew Daniel was dead and the fat lady too, we were next, I had to run as fast as I could; now, it was Mary pulling me along as I began lagging behind from the pain.

We ran with every strength we could gather. Mary continued dragging me along as I fought with the pain driving into me. Mary suddenly tripped on something and fell. I stopped behind her and pulled her up, then took a little time to looked around the dark forest, everything looked like a human being spying on us.

"we have to keep going". I said to Mary, trying to recall the route we came from earlier in the day.

" I think we came through there" Mary said pointing adjacent our direction.

Then I heard a rustling sound. I shush Mary immediately and listened if i would hear it again. The sound seem to be coming from every direction.

" lie down!" I whispered to Mary.

She gently laid on her and I followed her. We remained still watching. My legs vibrated in fear, my eyes were very alert just as my ear's antenna stood erect.
After a while of waiting, I saw a dark figure walk passed circumspectly. The fear in me increased, my hands joined my legs shaking, I fought it so that Mary won't know I was sacred as she remained calm looking at the figure passing. I could hear her praying silently and making some recitations in her dialect.

Something ran through Mary's waist, she let out a low startling cry and drew attention to us. The figure turned our direction and began walking slowly towards us. I couldn't make out if it had a gun, I could only see it had a human frame.

Mary now was shaking and clinging firmly to my arm. I tried to stay calm but couldn't. The figure came closer and I couldn't see if it was putting on a cloth or not coz everything was dark.

It finally stood in front of us, opened the leaves that covered us and then disappeared in a wisps of smoke. I was half out of breath and Mary who let out a low scream and froze. I shook her to be sure she was okay, and she turned to me.

" are you okay?". I asked.

She couldn't bring herself to say a word. I slowly stood up frighteningly and looked around if the strange person or ghost was around. When convinced it was gone, I motioned Mary up and we continued our running. I didn't want to spend a second there, not after being spooked by whatsoever it was.

We ran and walked for hours until we heard sound of moving vehicles. I turned to Mary in excitement, it felt like we just walked into paradise at last. She smiled, heaved a relief sigh and we continued towards the direction.

About forty minutes of staggering and battling with excruciating pain, thirst and tiredness we came out to the high way. What a relief at last. I and Mary stood impatiently waiting for a vehicle.

A car flashlight ray beamed from a distance. We looked hopefully at the direction.

" who are you!" A voice suddenly said from behind and spooked us.

Mary let out a cry and jumped on my back. I turned and saw a very old dry and slim man with a white cloth around his waist standing between bushes looking at me, I couldn't see his face clearly in the moon light but I knew he looked pretty weird.

" who are you" I retorted cautiously.

He turned to the car approaching and asked again. " who are you?". His voice was dry coaxed and husky.

" please lets get out of here". Mary whispered to me.

I turned to Mary briefly and returned to the man, but he had gone. I had no time to wonder where he went to, the car was already very close, we immediately started walking towards the approaching car and waving.

The car came closer and we waved at it hopefully but it drove past us. I was surprised, why would he do something like that? I asked myself.

" people are too scared". Mary said as if she read my thought.

I was still conscious of the old man, our captors and the shadow we saw earlier. Mary too kept glancing around like she was expecting a wild animal to come out anytime. The sun was coming up, it felt relieving that at least we could see what was coming for us.

Then another car was seen approaching. Mary rushed forward and waved at it, it was a white pickup van. The driver slowed down and we rushed to meet up. He was a smallish dark man with full hair bald in the middle, full mustache and a reading glasses on. Putting on a short green sleeve shirt with its first four buttons opened.

",good morning" Mary greeted as we looked through the passengers front seat window.

"Yes? Where are you people going to?" The man asked eyeing me suspiciously.

" just anywhere away from here". Mary said looking behind her.

The man smelt trouble and become frightened. He slowly placed his hands on his steering and asked. " is everything okay?"

" we were robbed" I said before Mary tells him the truth.

The man looked his front and back immediately and hurriedly beckoned us in. Without delay we entered the car and the engine stopped. We both turned to the driver questioningly, he too seem surprised.

" what's happening? " Mary asked.

" I don't know, I don't understand" he replied, still trying the ignition.

While we were waiting uneasily for the car to pickup, the old man suddenly appeared in front of us and stood looking. Now I could see him clearly; he was as charcoal dark man, his face looked like it was drained of blood and his head stood standing gray hairs that showed his shining scalp, his eyes were bulging out of the sockets. His lips were a very slim line and covered in wrinkles, he looked like a dry wood bathed with veins. His stomach was almost touching his back, with very visible ribs and his waist was very tiny with the white clothe around it and two broom like legs shooting out from underneath resting on two bare feets that were unbelievably huge.

" jeez!" Mary exclaimed in shock when she saw him.

The driver followed and stared completely dumbfounded. The old still stood motionless looking at us with his hands straight beside him.

" who is he?" The driver asked and a sudden surge of desperation to leave engulfed him as he tried the ignition with a tremulous hand cursing under his breath.

" who is he? What does he want?" Mary asked.

" I think I should ask him". I said, not even sure I meant what I said.

Mary turned to me unbelievably and said. " you are not going anywhere!".

I knew the old man wanted something, whatsoever it is, let me pay the price.

With this thought, I opened the door and Mary tried to stop me, I insisted and stepped out ignoring her. As I walked to the man I wasnt feeling the pains as much as I felt my heart threatening to choke me to death.

I stood few steps away from the old man and asked. " what do you want?"

He opened his mouth to speak, I couldn't see any teeth nor tongue save for white background.

" who are you?" He asked dragging his voice in a dry husky tone.

I didn't even remember who I was but knew they called me Mike but I couldn't tell him that until he tells us what he want.

" who are you, what do you want from us?" I asked courageously

He stretched forth his palm and said looking straight into my eyes. " come with me".

Mary shouted shooting her head from the car window. " Mike no! Mike come back! Get away from him!"

I turned to her swiftly and before I could I turned in front of me again, he was gone, I was startled and stood looking. The sound of the car engine came alive suddenly. I was so relieved and was returning to join them when someone came out of the bush with a gun and pointed it at the driver. I couldn't believe my eyes who it was.

" Daniel!" I called.

He turned to me looking like he was dying. He smiled and staggered to the car still pointing the gun at the driver, then he sagged on a knee, Mary jumped out of the car to assist him. The the fat lady came out of the bush behind him.

I joined them and asked what happened, how they managed to escape. I thought they were dead. Just then, the driver zoomed off, Mary ran after him shouting but he was far gone.

The driver even still her mind to stay small. I go Don Drive James Bond since
