"This is as far as I can go sir..."The driver said....

Success look out from the car window, a delicious shiver run down her spines as she noticed once more that the road is completely deserted......

"You want to leave us here..."Success blare out..."In the middle of nowhere all by ourselves.."

When the driver didn't say a word but collected his payment from Samuel..., She turn to face Samuel who opened the car door to come down first, Festus followed before Success grudgingly dragged her feet off the car...., they stood and watch as the cab driver revised and drove off...

Untarred Road hugged the land like a newborn baby..., the quietness of it made their spines raced with fear.., there were no buildings in sight not even the song of a bird...., all they heard was the sound of their own heartbeat....

"We're literally heading to our own graves..."Success whined as she slap dust from her white sneakers...

"So where are we going...?"Festus ask looking around...

Samuel looked at the address once more..., then he look around to see if there is a signboard somewhere pointing to the address.., when he found none, he dropped his hands to his side.....

"Let just keep walking...."Samuel said, his voice already festing with disappointment..

"To what end..?"Success chime in quizzically, her lack of interest in whatever journey Samuel is putting them bleak on her face...."Look around you Samuel..., we're in the middle of nowhere.., how many houses did you see while on the cab..."

"Sounds like a good place for criminals to hide.."Festus replied..."If who we're meeting is as good as mr Smith said.., then we're on the right track..."

"We've never been on the right track, its high time we start admitting that to ourselves.."

"If you want to die you can go back.."Samuel cut in furiously..."I've never forced you to do anything.."

"Sure..."Success dragged between her teeth..."It's so easy to say so especially now that I'm so deep into your mess.."

"My mess.."Samuel reiterates...."You wanted to join me..., you knew the risks involved yet you stayed.."

"Shusssh"Festus cut in.."The both of you.."He added before he summoned up an intake of breathe..."Lets not start this argument again.."

Success rolled her eyes and look away...

Samuel glare at her before he started moving forward....

"He's angry, can't you see it..?"Festus ask Succcess as Samuel made a few pace from them...

"We all are.."Success retorted..."You think now that Amilo Raphayes has seen all of us, he's just the target..., we all are targets.., if anyone of us is caught.., he's done for..."

"Which is why we are here seeking solutions, so stop whining..."Festus said and left her..

She flinched before a frown buckled up her forehead....., realising she's behind, she ran to meet up with them.......

Lazily chief Carlos stood up from the bed with nothing but just a towel around his waist.., he glance at the time wondering how long he had slept.., when the knock that had woken him up came rumbling on the door again.., he walked up to his room door and opened it....

"Good afternoon chief..."Jadan said to him..

Carlos sigh lazily and step away from the door entrance....

"We have good news sir.."Jadan said entering the room with him..

Curious, Carlos look back at him.....

"Jerome has woken up from his coma.."

"Has he confessed who stole my money...?"Carlos ask

"Not yet.."Jadan said."The doctor said he needs some hours to fully get his full senses back..., we'll bring him in this evening..."

Carlos took off the towel going completely naķed in front of Jadan, Jadan look away until Carlos wore his underwear.......

"Do whatever it takes to make him confess who stole my money...".

"He'll surely tell us the identity of that boy who was with madam Sansa that night of the attack...., I have deep instincts that boy is with the money..."

"Well whoever he is..."Carlos said heading to the bathroom...."If he has my money, he'll suffer the consequences of madam Sansa's sin..., no one steals from me..."

EPISODE 56
EPISODE TITLE - No one steals from me








Looking up from the corner of the cell, Henry tried to comprehend how he got into all the mess he is, sharp pain seared around his face as once again he extended his hand to his now treated bullet wound, Slowly he got up from the corner holding on to the barrels for support, his body felt as if he had been bruised in every corner. His legs felt shaky and could not support his body yet his head was the only thing that was feeling heavy, he place his hands on barrels and arched his back as the pain was rushing through his body like an igniting fire, his eyes squeezed closed as his face contorted, just then the thoughts of Susan began to make way to his head once more...., he miss her, if he hadn't been shot and taken by the special agents, he would still be with her.....

He raised his face when he heard the creaking sound of an iron door, his eyes followed the footsteps that came after.., frown lines encroached on his face as he remenbered how he's been tortured and questioned about the location of Amilo Raphayes for the past one week......

He quickly took his gaze from them and walk towards the end of the cell.......

For a slight second, Theresa fixed her gaze on Henry, some way she felt pity for him, if what he'd been saying for the past one week is true, it certainly means he's been caught up in a war that he shouldn't have concern himself with in the first place..., but whatever he said sounded like a lie to the major......

"We should let him go..."Theresa said reverting her gaze to George...

"You still think he's innocent...?"George ask returning his gaze to her

Theresa return her focus to Henry.., she look at him for a second before she walk towards a table.....

"Yes.."She said over her shoulder before she dragged a chair from underneath the table to sit...

George looked behind him wondering if the others had forgotten the major called for a meeting...., when he saw no one, he stepped forward towards Theresa....

"He was in Amilo's camp, he could be lying..."George said sitting beside her...

"There's something about him that makes me believe he's innocent..."Theresa said returning her gaze to him

"There's something in his eyes that makes me believe he's hiding something.."George replied with eyes peering right at her...

Theresa chuckle..."You're beginning to speak like the major..."

When the door creak, they turn their faces to the door, their eyes follow the other agents as they walked in as if they've planned from the start to come in together..., after agent Tex and Roy walked in, Major Lafera joined, his face in a serious mood as it has always been....

Theresa look away and cross her hands across her chest.....

"Here we go.."George mutter when Major Lafera walked towards the only cell they have in the underground compartment..., the cell was built for reasons like Henry's, when a suspect is caught, he's brought to the cell for their own questioning, if guilty, they send him to the local police.....

Henry sat on the ground as he fixed his gaze on Major Lafera's stare.., when he saw Roy heading towards them, he remenbered the beatings, the punches and bruises he had sustained because they needed him to confess to knowing Amilo's location..........

"Are you going to kill me now...?"Henry ask.., tasting blood in his mouth

"What do you think you pig.."Roy retorted, voice bleak with spite..

For a minute Major Lafera just stood looking at him..., he look at the rest of the team, each of them eager to know the next step he's going to take..., he returned his gaze to Henry before he opened his mouth to talk..
"I'm going to ask you one last time..., where is Amilo Raphayes hiding...?"

Frown lines slowly encroached on Henry's forehead...., all week it has been the same question.., he doesn't know where he is.., had never known where Amilo was and will maybe never know...maybe never see Susan again.., maybe the day he was shot and Susan was carried into that van is probably the day he may see her last.....

He sniffle fighting back any tears the thought of Susan may chase into his eyes.., perhaps never seeing Susan again is for the best....."I've told you all I know..., I don't know where Amilo is..."

"You're a fùcking liar.."Roy blare out..

Angrily, Henry lock Roy in a dark stare, Roy reciprocated the look until Major Lafera intervene with a shock that hung everyone's mouth in the air....

"Release him.."Major Lafera said making a few steps from the cell...

"What..?"Roy talked first, his words releasing everyone from the shock...."You're letting him leave..."

Major Lafera didn't reply, instead he looked Joseph's way.., Joseph understood and quickly stood up, took a bunch of keys and trot towards the cell...

Surprise at the order, Henry stood, relieved yet fear still lingers deep inside him...., he swallowed hard when Joseph opened the gate and pave way for him to come out....

"You're free to leave..?"Major Lafera chime in....

"Why is he leaving..?"Roy retorted..."We're just going to skip the fact that he was with Amilo's men and was holding a gun..."

"It's the major's decision..."Theresa cut in disgusted by Roy's guts...."Are you questioning him...?"

Roy peered at her but Theresa returned the look....

"Wait..."Henry said, his gaze moving from one person to the other..."You're letting me go, just like that.."

"Do you prefer to remain locked here..."Major Lafera ask folding his hands across his chest...

Henry swallowed.., although he's excited about the idea of living but the hidden reason why they're letting him go after been locked up, interrogated and wounded for a week is what really bothers him......

"The agent here will drop you off.."Major Lafera said with a cringe at Agent Tex...

Agent Tex nodded and took a step towards Henry...

"Leave before I change my mind..."Major Lafera stated with furrowed brows..

Henry said no other words., with a glance at Roy's angry face, he took a few steps towards agent Tex and followed him outside....

"What are you doing major...?"Roy dared to ask..

Exasperated, Major Lafera walk closer to Roy until they were just a finger push from each other.., he locked him in an angry gaze before he spoke up.....

"Do not challenge me again..."Major Lafera stated angrily before he revert his gaze to the other agents...

He stood, his eyes moving from one to another as if he was studying them.., bothered with the look, Theresa lowered her face until Major Lafera's voice made way into her ear...

"Display the radar in the screen.."Major Lafera said.

Joseph the IT guy quickly did as he was told.....

Theresa's mouth dropped when the radar was displayed on the big screen.., she centered her eyes on the moving device on the radar map.....

"Is that a report of a tracking device..?"George ask totally shocked....

Major Lafera looked Roy way who drew nearer to take a closer look....

"Yes...."Major Lafera said...."You all really think going i believe his crap..."

Roy cast down his eyes realising he concluded too quick....

"Roy was right..."Major Lafera said walking towards the amplified screen..."We can't just look past the fact that he was seen with Amilo's men...."

"He told us he was abducted..."One of the agent riposte...

"Then you're a fool if you believe that.."Major Lafera retorts..."He wasn't willing to tell us anything even when he was dying from the bullet wounds..., we've all seen people like this, ready to die than been a snitch..."

"So you put a tracker on him..."Theresa interjects.

"In his wounds precisely...."Major Lafera said..."He wasn't ready to tell us Amilo's location not even when Roy tortured him...., I had to improvise...., that's why I told our doctor to leave a tracking chip in his bullet wound while treating and dressing the wound..."

"A tracking chip is in his body.."Theresa said...."The waves could kill him.."

"He's already a dead man.."Major Lafera blare out..."He signed up his death sentence the day he agreed to join Amilo...., let's pray he leads us to Amilo before he finally dies....."

"He's not a fool.."George interjects.."He wouldn't go to Amilo...."

"But Amilo will come to him..."Major Lafera riposte..."If they find out he isn't dead, then they'll know he was taken by us and there's only one reason why we'll release a suspect..."

"If he snitches...."George replied......

"This is dangerous...."Theresa said..."They could kill him on the spot..."

"Not without finding out what he told us.."Roy chime in with a cringe at Theresa...

"And when they do that..."Major Lafera said...."Within the few minutes they'll engage in the conversation.., we'll strike and God help us we get Amilo this time..."









******************
A gleen of sweat sheen down from Dr Charana's forehead as she tilt her head towards the mixing bowl, A shower cap over the mixing bowl told her that there was bread inside. It was how she had kept the dough moist and rising. Soon she was standing tall on her toes, savouring the aroma as she peeked inside, eyes wide and almost smiling.., after replacing the cap she scampered to begin her crusade of persuasion and that was when the terrible thoughts of loosing her hospital slipped in.., the thoughts made her hands foible and once again she move over to the closest chair to dwell on her devouring thoughts.., she brood over the phone call she had received the day of the incident, she was asleep when a guard from the hospital had called and told her her hospital is on fire.....everything had literally burned down before she got there...., seeing Andrew and Rachel surrounded by their own pool of blood sent cold chills down her spine, and for a minute just before she summoned the courage to call the police, she reflected on her life.., sure she's cold and cruel and might as well end up as her colleague.....

She heaved a low sigh at the sudden reminder that she lost a good sum of money when the hospital burned down.., everything she has ever done was for the growth of the mental asylum.., only if she knew who started the fire...., she stood up again and trot towards the table.., the thoughts of Anita rush like wildfire into her head chasing the fear she thought she had defeated once more into her head.., a day ago she had thought of leaving town.., Anita's body wasn't found among the dead, she could be anywhere, probably planning a comeback, her return may not favour her, Anita knows so much about their operations in the hospital.., how could she has been so foolish to had never noticed Anita held a bag of pretense in her chest.., she was never mad and the idea of it never crossed her mind.., Andrew was suspicious of her, he did tell her but she never believed..., she beared in mind that she had never fail in her job and won't start then....

She turn her gaze towards her phone wishing a phone call from Samuel can come in.., since the burning incident at her hospital, she had tried to reach him all to no avail..., a shock she will say when she found out the same day her hospital was burned is exact same day Samuel house was burned and bodies were found in his house ..dead bodies...

Samuel could be dead and the balance of her money could be gone.., flushed down the drain..., she's hoping to refix the hospital but the money in her account won't be sufficient enough.., the government isn't willing to grant her a loan or even a pitiable grant to get the hospital back to the way it was...

She grunts and refocus on the flour on the table..., her heavy thoughts could jeopardise the baking of the pancakes she has set up to do..., her head lifted with utmost curiosity when a loud knock rumbled on the door.., she wasn't expecting anyone.., although her friend had told her she'll be visiting but it was later in the day..
When the knock came again, she took off the apron she wore, clean her hands and walk from the dinning and towards the door..

"Who is there....?"She ask when she was a footstep from the door...

An answer didn't come at first and it scared her.., the painful realisation that everyone she had contained behind bars were out running free put a stop on her wild bubbles...,the fear that one of them might come after her had been her company for the past one week.....

"Doctor.."A male voice rumbled from outside..

Dr Charana took a deep breathe to relived herself from the heavy panic beating in her chest..., she took the final step and pull the door knob down.....

For a minute she stood at the entrance and stare at Vialo and two other men who had accompanied him..

"You're not supposed to come here..."Dr Charana said finally stepping away from the door....

Vialo and the two other men walked in after her.., after a minute, one of the two men shut the door...

"I told you I was going to call you."Dr Charana said spuning around to face them...

"That call never came.."Vialo said with furrowed brows....

"Now is not the time Vialo..."Dr Charana riposte as she walk back to the dining.., she pick up her apron and swing it on....."You must have heard my mental asylum is gone..., rooted to the ground..."

Vialo sniffle, his finger slowly sliding underneath his nostrils...."That isn't why I'm here..."

She lifted her gaze towards him..."Why are you here...?"

"I need my money.."

Dr Charana scoffs...."What money...?"

"My balance.."Vialo replied, his face moulding into a serious frown...

She stilled for a moment, then she picked up the bowl of flour and poured it into the mixing bowl...."There's no balance Vialo. "She said raising her head towards him...."You didn't finish the job..."

"I lost men trying to kill that bitch...."

"Still she's alive..."

"You think I care about that now.."Vialo retorted contorted with a serious frown....

"Our agreement was..., you kill the girl, show me evidence and I pay you your balance...."

"So you aren't paying me....?"Vialo ask folding his hands across his chest..

She huff, look away and look back at him a second later..."It doesn't even matter now.., everything is ruined.., the hospital is burned, totally destroyed.., Samuel's house is burned and littered with dead bodies.., God knows where he is...., there is no money Vialo...."

With hardened jaw, Vialo took a glance at the other two men, when he revert his gaze to face Charana, he took a pistol from behind him and pointed it at her....

Cold chills rain down Dr Charana's spine as she flinched immediately.., her heart hammered strongly against her chest..

"What were you saying Doctor..?"Vialo ask angrily...

Heartbeats, hard and erratic thrummed hard against Dr Charana's chest, she closed her eyes only to open them a second later...."Put the gun down.."She said calculating the distance between her and her own gun....

"I need my money..."Vialo said with hardened jaw...

"I told you there's no money..., I was supposed to show him her dead body before he pays the balance.., that didn't happen...., you can't blame me for your faults..."

"Do you know how many men I've lose because of her..."

"You know how these games work Vialo..., is kill or been killed..."

Vialo grunts deeply before he dropped the gun...

Dr Charana sigh, a sigh of relief....

"I'm going to let it sly today Dr..."Vialo stated..."But the next time I come back here.., I won't be this reasonable..."

With that, he turn around and head towards the door, he took one last glance at Dr Charana before he opened the door and stepped outside, his men tagging along him.., what followed was a loud slammed of the door....

Exasperated with Vialo guts, Dr Charana vent her anger on the table as she carried the mixing bowl and threw it against the wall....flour fall like dust from the air until they landed on the ground in a shimmered manner......

Mavikolo2020:
Such a painful end for Rachel, I was actually seeing her joining Anita to fight against Samuel., Andrew doesn't deserve such easy death.

Only God knows how my heart was doing me when Ron shot that guy carrying Susan, I thought Susan was going to die.

Once again Samuel is lucky, he's always escaping death, even Festus nor fit die.

Thanks for the wonderful update silver

EPISODE 55








A WEEK LATER







The car breathes and takes energy as if it were part of the flora of the land, Softly splashing water droplets hit the car windows as Lawrence drive onwards.., he slowed down and waited for the gate to be opened, when the gate was widely opened.., he fired on and drove into the compound......, once in, he found a place to park before stopping the car.., he waited a minute to take a breather before he opened the car door and alighted from the vehicle..., he wore his sunglasses and trot towards the main house ...

He walked past men with arms, some hailed him, others just mind their business.., he didn't care, in their game, everyone has to be on a lookout, distraction is a commodity they can't afford, not after the special agents attacked them a week ago.....
Waving off the thought, he took off the sunglasses and opened the door....

"So good of you to come this time..."Amilo said dropping the glass of alcohol on the table before he shift his gaze towards Lawrence...

Lawrence look around a bit surprised at the change in the house..."I see you've put the house in order...."

Amilo look around as if he was just noticing the house for the first time, he brood over the day he had bought the house.., it's the day he had arrived town and it was as if he had known the warehouse was going to be found out.., he had sent someone to get the house incase the initial plan goes south..., he only did some retouch, a few chair, a new paint but nothing much, they didn't want to get into town to get Things in order not to arouse suspicion.., The special agents must be watching every corner of the street, probably sending drones around again.....

"I wanted Peppa to be comfortable...."Amilo said reverting his gaze back to his drink...

"She can't be comfortable.."Lawrence said walking closer to Amilo....."Not after what happened a week ago...."

"Did you find him..?"Susan's voice sounded before she came into sight..

Both men turn their gaze towards her direction as she roll the wheelchair from a corner of a room into the main parlour.....

"Did you find him..?"Susan asked again, this time more serious in her tone.....

Lawrence sniffle and made a few steps backward....

A sigh of disappointment leap out from Susan's mouth, the turn of events a week ago made way to her head again...., she remenber vividly as Henry was shot and the way he felt to the floor.., she remenbered her own scream and how she was lifted and carried into the car....

"I didn't.."Lawrence said in a low voice...

Susan lower her head only to raise her head to him a second later when Lawrence opened his mouth to talk again...

"I did find Anita..."Lawrence added...

Susan swallow dryly and move the wheelchair a bit forward.., four days ago she has heard about what happened in the mental asylum, how it got burnt and everyone including the patients escape.., since then she has had a feeling Anita could be one of the patients that had escape....., even when Lawrence had gone out the following day to search for Anita and returned without a favourable reply, she kept believing Anita is alive.., so she told Lawrence to go search for her in her hometown after she saw the news of her dead siblings and father in the newspaper....

"You were right.."Lawrence chime into her thoughts..."She's in her hometown..."

Susan wonder how Anita could be feeling after finding out the painful exit of her siblings and father.., she wish she could see her, hug her once more...., nevertheless she's happy Anita is still alive.....

"How was she like..?"Susan ask curiously

"Sad.."Lawrence said..."I saw her sitting close to a grave..., probably her siblings or father.."

"Did she see you...?"

"No.., I didn't get close.., I only watch from a distance.. "

Once again, Susan lower her head as her brain revisit the painful memories of the past, the memories piling up like books with chapters, each chapter deep and horrible, she raise her head again and fused her attention on Lawrence.....

"When are you going back into town to search for him...?"She ask, her head buzzing with possibilities that Henry is still alive....

"He won't be going into town to search for anyone.."Amilo chime in standing up from the chair to face Susan......

Susan shift her gaze to him, her need to see Henry vividly bleak on her face....

"I've told you before.."Amilo continue.."You should forget about this boy., he could be dead for all we know.."

"Do not say that..."Susan cut in, her voice a bit hitched..."You weren't there when he was shot.."

"Exactly why I won't send anymore of my men out to search for him...., those special rats could be watching and hell knows how they found us in the first place..."

"He was protecting me.."Susan retorted....."Something you failed to do for more years than I can count..."

"Don't you understand what is going on here.. "Amilo riposte a bit exasperated...."Even if he's alive, he'll be a bait to find out our location again...., nothing good will come with his return.."

Susan sigh realising her brother was telling the truth but with every hour that passes, she blame herself for what happened to Henry and deep down she pray Henry is still alive.....

"I know you don't like this.."Amilo chime into her thought..."But it'll be best if you get him off your head..., he cease to be part of your life the moment he got shot and left behind.."

"Henry will always be a part of my life.."Susan riposte, her voice moulding with resentment.., resentment towards the one who had put her in the situation she is....., without another word, she turn the wheelchair around and rolled it out of sight, away from Amilo....

"You should go easy on her..."Lawrence chime in when Susan was out of earshot...."She has lost alot..."

Amilo threw him a stony look before he crunched down back on the chair..."We've all lost a lot....."

"She's still your sister...."Lawrence riposte...."And she hasn't live the life we've lived...."

"That isn't an excuse for her to misbehave...."

Lawrence huffs..."Henry is her boyfriend and from what she had told me, he had protected her several times..., it's okay for her to be concern about him..."

Amilo sigh before he gulp down another glass of the alcohol, just when he was about opening his mouth to talk, his phone rang.., he pause and took a look at the corner.., he quickly pick up noticing it's one of his men calling.....

"Cadex..."Amilo said over the phone....

"Hey boss.."Cadex hoarse voice sounded from the other end...

Amilo glance Lawrence way before he stood up and walk towards the window.., he pulled the windows curtains to a corner and look outside before words leap from his mouth..."Have you find him...?"

"No boss.."Cadex replied from the other end..."It look as if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth...."

Amilo sigh, more of his disappointment than the heavy thought for his sister..., how could one boy be messing with his head..."Keep looking Cadex..., our men are in all the bus stations and airports, there's no way he's out of the city..."

"I'll be on the lookout boss.."Cadex replied before the call dropped..

Amilo took the phone from his ear and look Lawrence way...

Lawrence step closer to him, his hands wrapped around his shoulder, he studied Amilo's face.....
"So that bastard hasn't been found yet...."Lawrence said

Frown lines encroached on Amilo forehead as he walk past Lawrence to pour himself another round of alcohol......

"He hasn't.."Amilo riposte before he gulp the whole glass down.....

"He can't hide forever.."Lawrence said setting a foot forward..."Sooner or later he's going to show himself..., and when he's out..., I'll put a bullet in his head myself.."









*****************
Stressed, Mr Smith quickly took off the suit the moment he entered the room..., heaving a deep sigh, he stepped into the bathroom and was about urinating when he heard the doorbell rang.., he ignored it at first but when the bell sounded again, he stepped out of the bathroom wondering who was knocking in his door..., he stepped out of the room and into a control room in the house.., all the way wondering why his securities will allow someone into his house like that...his hands on his waist, he look at the cameras, right there on his threshold he saw a guy on a hoodie, he look closer, the moment the person in the camera raise his head, he identified him....

"Dear Moses.."Mr Smith muttered and stepped out of the room....

He hesitated in opening the door when he entered the sitting room but the moment the doorbell rang again, he walk closer to the door and pull the knob down......

"In the name of all that is holy, what are you doing here...?"Mr Smith ask ...

Breathing heavily, Samuel removed the hoodie from his head...."Can we talk inside..?"Samuel ask after looking around as if someone was watching him.....

Mr Smith hesitated before he replied him....
"Come in...."Mr Smith said paving the way for him..

Samuel entered immediately, once in, he look around totally feeling insecure......

"What exactly happened to you.."Mr Smith ask walking to stand in his front...."We all have been worried after what they said about you on the news..., when you called me yesterday and said you couldn't talk on the phone, I thought you're in some kind of trouble...."

"I'm in trouble..."Samuel riposte...."Someone is after me.., he wants to kill me.."

Mr Smith eyes widened.., he wasn't that shocked, after hearing the news of the dead bodies that was found in Samuel's burnt house..., he dwell upon the thoughts he could be in trouble...

"Amilo Raphayes..."Samuel stated...."He's the one after me.."

For a second, Mr Smith didn't say a word, he just stood staring at Samuel imagining how funny his words sound....

"Amilo Raphayes.."Mr Smith reiterates...."Do you even know who that is..?"

"I'm telling you he's the one after me..., my friend Success recognised him when he came to my house to kill me..."

"If Amilo is after you, you would be dead..."

"I ran okay.."Samuel riposte...."I was pursued by his men but I escaped.., that's why he burnt down my house and killed my securities and those policemen..."

With a sigh, Mr Smith walk towards his fridge and took out a drink.., he uncapped the bottle and took a bit of it....."So you saying Amilo attacked you..."

Samuel grunts, his head buzzing with the possibility that Amilo could be anywhere watching him....."I know you may not believe me but it's the truth.."

"Why is he after you....?"Mr Smith ask taking another gulp down of the drink..."I'm very sure Amilo have other business to mind his time with..."

Samuel swallowed, before coming to Mr Smith for help he had thought through his plan, he knew Mr Smith was going to ask questions.......
"I happen to have stepped on his toe..."

"Stepped on his toe.."Amilo reiterates..."What do you mean..?"

"I touched his sister okay..."

"His sister..., Amilo have no sister..."

"That means you don't know him..., his sister is Anita's friend.., she wouldn't stop tarnishing my name..., so I sent boys to beat her up.., I never knew they'll break her leg......"

"Are you crazy..?"Mr Smith retorts..."Why would you do that...?"

"I made a mistake i know....., but now there's no going back, Amilo isn't going to stop till I'm dead.."

"How do I come into this....?"

Samuel took a deep breathe to calm his panic before he opened his mouth to talk..."I know you have connections, I want Amilo off my back..."

"You're a fool if you think you can kill Amilo..., he's one of the most ruthless criminal this country has ever known....."

"I know that before I came to you..."

"You should be telling this to the police..."

"Didn't you see the policemen he killed.."Samuel stated, voice clipped with spite......"If this man is as terrible as the media decorate him to be, then even the police will be scared of going after him....., please I'm begging you, with your influence and connection, I know you can help me out of this.."

Mr Smith sigh and dropped the drink..., he glance towards the dinning, there he saw a pen and a jotter, he torn a sheet from the paper and wrote an address and a name into it.....

"Go to this address.."He said handling the sheet of paper to Samuel...."You'll meet someone there, his name is mojo..., he was once a friend to Amilo.., rumour has it he broke out from Amilo's gang after they a serious argument.., now they're nothing but enemies...., perhaps if you tell your story to him, he'll be more than inclined to help you..."

"Are you sure he'll help me....?"Samuel ask curiously....

"Well I don't know that..."Mr Smith replied.."What i do know is, if you want to get rid of Amilo, you'll need someone who have the same wits as he.., someone who understands how he moves, his plans and strategies...."

For a slight second, Samuel just stood staring at the address, a muscle involuntarily twiched just beneath his jaw before he fold the paper and kept it in his side pocket...
"Thank you.."He said

"The only reason I'm helping you is because you didn't disgrace the company, if that girl's story had turned out to be true...., I would have faced a huge mess.., it's a good thing you took care of that..."

Samuel sniffle and wore back the hoodie on his head...

"And Samuel.."Mr Smith added...., when Samuel raise his gaze to him, he continued....."If you're going to go that address I just gave you, you'll have to be smart and be careful...., Mojo is as dangerous as Amilo..., if you answer the right questions the wrong way, you'll catch a bullet....."

Samuel shivered in his spines but quickly realise fear is only going to get him killed, with Amilo chasing him, he have to do something, something fast and smart and if going to an unknown address to find a man proclaimed to be as dangerous as his pursurer, then he's ready to take the step.....

"I'm desperate..."He said....

Mr Smith didn't reply, instead he took another gulp down of the wine........

Samuel waited for his reply, when he got none, he adjusted the hoodie in his head..."Thank you once more..."

"Don't come to me again.."Mr Smith said..."If Amilo is after you, the last place you should come to is my house.., i have a wife and kids okay....., and consider this favour the last I do for you...."

"I'll keep that in mind.."Samuel said before he walked over to the door.., with a quick breathe, he opened the door and stepped outside...

"Idiot.."Mr Smith said before he took the bottle to his mouth again...







He's desperate, where would his desperation lead him.......?

Everything is fine bro

**************






Senses sharpened with adrenaline, Theresa held her breath as she fire another round of bullets into one of Amilo's men who was dangerously shooting towards them, when the man dropped dead..., they moved forward as some of the team members had taken the other side while she, Ron and other agents move to cover another side of the building.., when another of Amilo's men came put from hiding, Ron fired first, she watched as blood splashed out from the man's face, the bullet claiming one part of his cheek before he fell to the ground and his ultimate demise...

"Nice shot agent.. "Theresa said to Ron as they tiptoe with their guns forward.., towards the warehouse....

They crunched behind the woods of the warehouse waiting in anticipation for someone to come out from the house...., but what came out instead was a bullet towards them..., they hid and shift backward when one of the agents fell.., when they turn towards the direction the bullet flew from again.., they saw three men, one carrying a girl in his shoulder, the other was holding a wheelchair while the third was in front....

Ron walked over the fallen agent and streched out his gun towards them.., in a blink of an eye, he pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out the chamber with a dangerous accuracy.., little by little it covered the distance between him and the target until it reach, the fierce bullet made way into the man carrying Susan from behind....

Blood pooped from the man's mouth before his hand got weak and that was when Susan fell from his shoulder and landed with a thud on the ground...

Ron was about shooting again but bullets from other Amilo's men came his way, lucky for him, none touched him, once more he hid, shading himself with the wooden wall of the warehouse...., a second pass and he came out again..., his eyes locked with Henry who was racing towards Susan who was crawling on the ground...., without an atom of pity in Ron's eyes he fired again...

The firece bullet went straight for Henry hitting his ribcage..., Pain erupted from point of contact and Henry quickly fell to the ground, hitting his jaw hard on the grass..., his upper tooth broke as blood from both his rib and mouth pooped out mingling with the green grass...

Susan kept quiet for a second, then she quickly snapped out of it, the realisation of what just happened dawned on her and that was when she screamed Henry's name....

Cadex quickly fire back chasing Ron back into his hiding..., he quickly lifted Susan up and carried her, Susan struggled but he ignored her struggles, with the help of other Amilo's men, they carried Susan into the car.., the rest entered other cars.., they whirl the tyres around spreading dust everywhere, the moment they turned to drive off, the agents came together and began shooting at the cars, The bullets lay over the ground as cold as the nails of a coffin maker, some ripping through the car screen shields, other missing.., bullets continued jingling as the cars move over the bumps and finally out the gate and into the dark woods......

"Shìt..."Ron shouted stopping from chasing them as he realise they've drove too far....

Henry groaned in pains as blood flow freely from his rib.., he clenched his teeth in attempt to hide away the pain but it didn't work..., just when he was struggling to get up with intentions of lifting his hands to surrender..., Ron's heavy boots kicked across his face, blood pooped from his mouth.., his pain intensified, his eyes ebb .., his body couldn't take it and that was when the pain pushed him into an oblivion of unconsciousness....

Paranoid with the turn out of events, Ron looked at Henry unconsciousness body and that was when he saw a gun in his hand...., he remenbered his fallen colleague, anger sneared through him and immediately he faced Henry with the gun and was about shooting...

"Stop..."Theresa cut in lowering Ron's gun..."Do not kill him.."

"He's one of them.."Ron retorted..

"Precisely why we need him alive.."Theresa replied.."Since we couldn't find Amilo, he'll tell us where he is..".









******************
Anita breathe heavily as Andrew shift the gun from him to Rachel.., she watch as Andrew lick his lips and move towards Rachel...

Rachel couldn't move, couldn't talk not when a gun is been pointed at her..

"Strip..."Andrew said to her...

Anita's mouth dropped at the words....

Rachel took a deep breathe to calm her panic before resentment took hold of her...
"This is over Andrew..."Rachel said filtering her fear...

"I said strip.."Andrew growled..

Rachel shivered almost taking a step back...

When she didn't do as told, Andrew face Anita with the gun..."Strip or I'll shoot her..."

Rachel remained still for a second before she exchange curious glances with Anita....., she was about to call his bluff but then he shot the ground, just a few inch from where Anita is standing.....

Anita shouted, fear almost ripping her heart out..

"Okay fine..."Rachel said and began to unclothed herself.., she took off her gown leaving just her thigh and bra on....

Andrew lick his lips and drew closer to Rachel, he face her with the gun warning her of any stupid mistake she might want to make.., when Rachel didn't move, he touched her breast, cupping them with his palm..

Rachel frown with invulsion as Andrew move his filthy fingers around her breast...

Anita look around, everywhere was burning and the only idea that could occur to her is pushing Andrew into the fire.., she moved closer but quickly set a foot back when a ceiling threatened to fall from up..., she looked up at it, fires was burning around it and sooner or later she feared it will fall.., her thoughts were shortlived when a part of the ceiling fell, breaking to pieces as it landed on the ground...

The sudden noise distracted Andrew and quickly he spun around to see what it was.., Rachel took the opportunity and quickly collected the gun from Andrew and pointed it at him....

Andrew scoffs seeing the way Rachel was holding the gun......

"Back off..."Rachel ordered holding the gun with shivering hands..

"Okay lady.."Andrew said setting a foot back, the moment Rachel made a move, he grabbed her and the gun but Rachel didn't let the gun go.., her fingers mistakenly curled around the trigger as they struggle for the gun..., the gun went off, the bullet hitting the broken part of the ceiling..., the ceiling with fire around it came down falling down to the ground putting a pause to their fight...

They quickly snap out of it when Andrew went for the gun again, the bullet went off again hitting the wall....

"Let it go you bitch.."Andrew barked..

Rachel didn't reply, she knew letting him win will means their dead...

Angrily, Andrew gave Rachel a head.., Pain erupted from the point of contact as Andrew head came in contact with Rachel's forehead, Rachel eyes went blank for a moment, Andrew tapped on the opportunity and pushed her off of him, off her grip on the gun.....

Rachel staggered and Andrew felt some releif, just when he was going in to UnCloth her, he felt a stab on his back.., he grimace with pain searing across his face....

Anita pushed a piece of the ceiling in Andrew back then she dragged it down making a straight cut in Andrew back.., Andrew groaned in pains and the gun fell from his hand.., furious he spun around and pushed Anita away before he fell to the ground.., he crunched down to the floor, blood soaked his shirt, he torn the shirt with his hands and try to touch the wounds.., feeling the pains spread throughout his body, he returned his furious gaze to Anita and just when he was about standing up, Rachel broke another piece of ceilings in his head...., sharp pain lanced across Andrew's face and that was when he fell to the ground...

"Let's go..."Anita blare out and together they jump through the fire and ran out towards the gate...

Together they ran towards the gate, each stopping for nothing since the coast was clear, now they relished in their idea of releasing the mad men, there was no one at the security to stop them..

Tears almost flood Anita's eyes as she raced for the gate, she's free....free from the clutches from Dr Charana, just a few steps between them and the gate, a gunshot sounded.., both girls paused wondering who shot the gun and who was hit.., they looked at each other in extreme surprise and that was when Blood pooled from Rachel's mouth...., the bullet had hit her from behind

"Rachel..."Anita shouted running to her before she could fall the ground....

Rachel breathe came in ragged shallow gasp as she cough out blood...

"No no no.., Rachel please...."Anita said bitterly as tears flowed unchecked from her eyes..

Black mist filled the edges of Rachel's vision and the only thing she could hear was her own heartbeat..., she manage to open her mouth but what came out was engulfed in stutters....

"Pro..."She mutter and cough out blood..

"Don't talk, pls don't talk.."Anita said taking Rachel's hands into hers..

"Promise me.. "Rachel manage to say..."You'll take back what belong to you..."

Anita tears dropped Into Rachel's hands, when Rachel cough again, she nodded...

"I...I'm scared.."Rachel said

Anita sniffle as she sobbed heavily.., her friend was dying and there's nothing she could do..., she heard her name and quickly turn towards the direction of the person calling her..., when she saw Andrew facing her with a gun.., rage licked through her realising it's Andrew that had shot Rachel....

"I killed her, didn't I..?"Andrew ask trotting closer to her....

Anita didn't reply, didn't want to, instead she returned her gaze to Rachel.., her mouth stuck in the air when she noticed Rachel wasn't moving...., her mouth shake like a goldfish as she try not to understand exactly what just happened...

"Rachel.."Anita mutter more tears dropping from her eyes upon realisation Rachel is dead....., she didn't want to believe so she began to shake her body and slap her face hoping she gets up. , when she didn't, she sob heavily....

"She caused her own dead.."Andrew chime in.. "If she had given me what I want.., non of us will be here.."He sniffle and look around before facing Anita again.."Just Strip, let's do this and I'll let you go.."

Hot tears flowed unchecked from Anita's eyes, every word sung from Andrew's mouth only added to the rage beating in her eyes....

"Are we going to do this the hard way..."Andrew said..."haven't you realise you have only two options here.., allow me sleep with you or enjoy your friend's fate...."

Anita's jaw clenched when she looked his way.., she hold still, eyes locked right on him...., when Andrew face her with the gun, she didn't move, it was as if the dead of Rachel has taken away her fear.., she didn't flinch, neither did she move....

"So this is how this beautiful story is going to end.."Andrew said circling his fingers around the trigger.., when he was about shooting, Bulchama jumped on him and together they crunched down to the ground.....

For a second they departed from each to catch their breathe, when Andrew saw him, he quickly reach for the gun but before he could fire, Bulchama rushed towards him and once again they rolled on the ground..., that's when Bulchama climbed on him and began to strangle him...

Andrew try to breathe, how Bulchama survived two shots is a mystery to him, indeed he's a monster..., he quickly realise he was fading and he needed to do something really fast..., that was when he began to search the ground with his hand for the gun, when he found it, he picked it up, manage to curl his fingers around the trigger again and pulled it.., the bullet went straight for Bulchama stomach, it weakened him but he continue strangling him...

Paranoid, Andrew fired more shots into Bulchama until Bulchama fell, blood pooping from every part of his body.... and that is when he finally gave up the ghost...

Andrew spat out blood and stood up, he wipe his eyes, when he turned towards Anita's side, he saw her with a broken pipe.....

He scoffs and turn towards Rachel's dead body, he returned his gaze to Anita again and once again face her with the gun......."This is for breaking my head.."He said touching the blood in his head sheening down his face..., slowly, he circled his fingers on the trigger, then he fired...
Surprise overwhelmed him when nothing came out, he fired again and quickly realise there isn't any bullet in the gun anymore..., frustrated he sigh and threw the gun down....

Anita's brain went on overdrive as it picked every moment that she'd spent crying. The memories weighed down on her but instead of breaking even more, her heart turned ice cold and slunk into the shadows as her brain took complete control. The flames in her stomach rose up to her chest and crawling through her veins, took over the rest of her body......, rage sneared across every nerves on her and that is when she ran towards Andrew with the pipe in her hand...., with unblinking eyes, she thrust the sharp edge of the pipe into Andrew stomach...

Shocked, Andrew mouth dropped, his eyelids expanded as pain raced through every part of him....

Rage roared in Anita's eyes and that was when she pushed the pipe in even more..., the other end bursting out from Andrew back.....

Thick blood pooled with great precision from Andrew mouth as he raise his eyes to look at Anita..., Anita let go of the pipe and that was when Andrew body fell to the ground.., it didn't take long before the exertions of the beyond swept him into a bitter death.......

Anita staggered towards Rachel dead body.., another tear dropped from her eyes before she dropped down to her knees.., remembering her promise to her, she shut Rachel's eyes, stood up and staggered out the gate..., she watch as the hospital signboard fell and clattered on the ground marking an end to Donny's mental asylum....., realising she's alone, she staggered into the roads, into the thin darkness of the night........

Little did she know that the night isn't over yet.....

EPISODE 54
EPISODE TITLE-Death to Samuel










The air outside had a rainbow swirl, as if bright inks were dropped into a current with precision. On the skin it felt as silk on a hot day, cool and smooth. It eddied around Amilo's men fingers as if it were water in some magic wishing well. Lorenzo watched it, allowing time to stand still just for him, breathing it in....., he looked at Amilo who was already in and still shading himself with a long couch.., he read the signal when Amilo raise a thumb towards him.., he looked at the other men, each ready to die for a course they're fully prepared for, they've fought more serious gun battles with ruthless gangs who aren't afraid to die, deep down Lorenzo know killing their shooters will be a walk over...., he lifted four fingers towards the others outside with him.., he dropped a finger motioning them to drop a counter attack on four.., he whisp in a slight breathe before he dropped another finger and then the third and when he finally dropped the fourth.., the rest of the ten men they had taken along rushed in each shooting as they walk slowly into the house.. bullets scattered like seeds of destruction around the house, each hitting something, bricks fell off from pillars as bullet pricked into everything and anything....

The policeman hiding behind the pillar knew he shouldn't be afraid but when he move his gaze to his fallen colleague, the fear creep into his body like a silent huntress evading his head with its petrified thoughts and the painful realisation that another colleague of his has fell again, his eyes no longer seeing, his body just meat and bones. It wasn't right...., his life was less than a cent in someone's bank account, just another inconsequential sale in the business of war..., he remenber when they came into the house the previous day, they asked Samuel who wanted him dead, his story was simple and they actually thought it was just some cult boys they could easily battle with.., no one told them they were going to fight the war of their life tonight...

He grind his teeth when more bullets hit the pillars he was shading himself with.., with the way the bullets were coming for him, poking out his head to shoot will be suicide....., he turn his eyes towards the two other policemen hiding themselves from their shooters, he pointed at one and motioned him to move with a one sided shake of his head...., when the other policeman didn't move an inch, it occcured to him he was scared, they're all scared.., these are men who have families, families they wouldn't want to leave...

Taking a deep breathe to calm his panic, he look at the other policeman again and realise one of them was agitating to get up, the moment the other policeman came out from hiding, another round of bullet rent the air but this time it wasn't something inanimate it hit, it came for the policeman, the bullet going into his throat and bursting out from the back of his neck...., the policeman behind the pillar opened his mouth in shock and raging heartbeats as the shot policeman dropped his gun in attempt to reach for his holed bleeding throat.., the third policeman in hiding came out angrily as another of his colleague fell with a thud on the ground, he fired turns of bullets at Amilo's men who all hid behind something...., the policeman continued shooting until bullets stopped flying out the chamber.., when nothing but smoke whisp out from the muzzle, the policeman realise his bullet had finish, he wanted to run for cover but he was a split second too late, multiple bullets from Lorenzo's gun came for him, bullets pierced into his back.., every cell in his body reeled in shock as he stood frozen to the spot.., just then thick blood pooled from his mouth...., when another bullet hit his head.., the force sent him to the ground and life departed from him...

The policeman behind the pillar lean his back against the pillar, he couldn't move, couldn't say anything not after all his colleagues has fallen.., right there he remenbered his wife, his beautiful daughters, nothing in this world is worth the love he has for his family, in that moment all he could think of is surrender..., he looked to his left towards the end of the corridor and that is when he saw Samuel and his friends running towards a direction he had no idea is in the house....., he almost screamed their names but instead, a lazy smile creep into his head.., when Samuel and his friends got out of sight, he sigh and decided to turn around to face the dreadful shooters and killers but bullet they say has no friend.., the moment he turn his face, he felt the muzzle of a pistol in his forehead..., shock paralysed him to the spot and just when he was about raising his gun..., Amilo pulled the trigger...

The bullet hit the policeman head with extreme precision, toring his brain tissues effortlessly in such close range, his head split open and he fell to the ground coating the tiles in a slick thick liquid...Blood..









******************
Looking through the eyepiece of the mocroscope, , Theresa move the focus knob until the image came into focus.., she adjust the condenser allowing the light intensity filter into the images..., she quickly took the microscope from her eyes and turn to face the others..

"The major was right..."Theresa said handling the microscope to George.."They're here.."

George took a view in accertation, when he saw men with guns patrolling the fields, he took the microscope from his eyes and shift his gaze towards Theresa who took out a phone to call the major...

Ron walked towards the car , he opened the truck and took out a rifle, he dropped the rifle on the side and took out a pistol, he checked for bullets, satisfy it was loaded, he tuck it between his leather trouser and tight pants, he pick up the rifle again and walked towards Theresa...

"Major..."Theresa called the moment the call connected....

"What have you seen..?"Major Lafera anxious voice came into light...

"You were right major..."Theresa said with a cringe at George who was handling over the microscope to agent Tex...."They're here..., should we move in...?"

There was silence from the other end, impatient Theresa asked again....
"Sir, should we move in..?"

"Yes..."Major Lafera replied from the other end..."Remenber, If Amilo Raphayes is there, I want him alive.. "

"Roger that sir..."Theresa said and handed the phone to Ron who quickly pocket it......

"We're moving in.."Theresa added as she walked up to another of the truck they came with.., she opened the backseat door and took out a bulletproof vest, she wore it, then she took out a steel helmet, she wore it and buttoned the belt beneath her jaw before she pick up a rifle...

"Alright listen up sons of bitches"Ron blare out holding the rifle firm in his hand...."In there are some fùvkers that need to be sweeped off..."

"Major wants Amilo alive.."Theresa chime in over her shoulder as she move past Ron....

"Plus that bastard has to been delivered alive.."Ron added...."So get your armours and let's go in.."

Each member of the team grabbed a gun, some grab their helmets and together they form a straight line and they began to tiptoe into the fields...

At George signal, they all crunched to the ground when they got to the gate.., George looked towards the darkness in the sky before he lowered his gaze.., he looked at Theresa who was behind him.., when she nod, he pointed his gun towards the two men in the gate but before he could fire, a bullet from Ron's gun hit one of Amilo's men in the gate...

Another person from the team didn't wait for permission before he pulled the trigger and the bullet went straight for the other man at the gate..

George shake his head and trot forward, the rest of the team trotting alongside him, it was supposed to be a silent mission but with Ron firing the first round of bullets, George knew it's sure going to be noisy...

They move on towards the field and that was when one of Amilo's men shot at them..., there was no time to contain the shock, the agents fire back as one of their men fell from their midst, the bullets from their guns hit multiple men from Amilo's side...

"Intruders intruders intruders..!!"One of Amilo's men chorused loudly...

When Amilo's men began to approach them, Theresa locked eyes with one of them, he was racing towards them in a way that looked slow but was actually fast....
Theresa could feel her heart beating through her chest, each breath constricted against the inside of her tactical bulletproof vest. With each beat, the pressure grew greater. Time slowed.., The boy raised his AK-47, and as he looked down the sights, Theresa could see his pupils dilating against his baby blue iris. He tightened his body, pulling the butt of the rifle forcefully into his shoulder. His left knuckle–small compared to the weapon he was holding–became white against the wooden handguard. His fear was palpable, but it was too late. There was no turning back for either of them...

As the boy raised his weapon, Theresa slid her index finger off of the trigger guard and onto the trigger. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up..... her fist clenched hard against the plastic foregrip as she brought her rifle to bear, she could feel the sweat beading in her gloves, she took a shallow breath in, holding it as she squeezed the trigger. As three 5.56mm rounds took flight, the stock of her rifle was pushed into her shoulder. In and out. In and out. In and out ,she exhaled and started to breathe normally, watching through her sights as the three rounds connected with the boy.., One entered his shoulder, jarring his body as chunks of flesh and blood flew out behind him. One entered through his stomach, shattering the boy’s spine on its way out. The last round severed his carotid artery, spewing blood out the side of his neck with each of the boy’s final heartbeats. His rifle fell from his hands, kicking up a puff of dust as it hit the ground while the boy fell in a heap against the grass.....

When more bullets zipped through her ears, Theresa shift her gaze to the other side, she saw another of Amilo's men heading their way, once more she aimed for him but before she could shoot.., George took the target...

"Fùck.."She mutter as the man fell down, there she looked George's way..

"You're welcome.. "George said with a smile and move past her...

Theresa followed, looking at every direction for any danger..








*****************
Fear overwhelming them, they glided down the three staircase with pounding heart....and ran towards an iron door towards the end of the corridor...

"Are you sure this is really an underground compartment..?"Festus ask curiously

Samuel didn't reply, didn't have the time nor the patient to..., he quickly took out a key to open the padlock.., he insert it in but quickly realise how futile it was when the padlock didn't unlock .., frustrated he threw the key down and took out the gun.., sweat sheen down his forehead as he began to hit the padlock with the grip of the gun....

A delicious shiver ran down Success spine, like a bolt of electricity as Samuel struggle with the padlock...a lock to their escape..., at the sound of mental clanking, she looked back to where they ran from...., she didn't see anyone and for a second, she felt a bit relief...

"The policemen are dead..."Festus stated with shaking mouth at the sudden silent that enguffed the house...

Samuel didn't reply, instead he applied force and hit the padlock yet the rustled padlock didn't unlock...., frustrated he hit it one last time, it unlocked as more salty sweat flow with total unrest down his face....

"Samuel...."Amilo's thunderous voice sounded..

Fear pricked their spines making the three boys turn towards him...

The shock of seeing Amilo jolted Success backward.., Samuel didn't wait for further instructions from his brain before he took off the padlock and pulled the iron door open..., when Amilo raise his gun to fire at them, he ran in followed by Festus and Success, bullets hit the iron door in great speed, the loud clanking sound shook them off their feet and they fell..., Samuel quickly snap from it and close the iron door while Festus pushed the only couch in the underground compartment to block it....

Success climbed up the ladder leading to the surface first..., with a strength she didn't realise she had.., she pulled off the bolt and pushed the iron cover open..., the sweet darkness and cold outside made way to her skin making her shiver once more..., when Samuel pushed her bum, she realise they were below her.., she grimace and climbed out into the surface, Samuel followed and just when Festus was about climbing out, Amilo's men pushed the iron door open..., fear incepted Festus and the same time increase his climbing pace.., luckily for him, he climbed out before a bullet hit the ladder.....

"Follow him.."Amilo ordered pushing one of his men towards the ladder....

The order made way to Samuel, Festus and Success ears.., without instructions from their brain, they stood up, with their bags hung around their shoulder, they began to run as long as their legs can carry them, zipping through long and short grasses........

"Amilo..."Lorenzo said heading towards him with a ringing phone....."Cadex has been calling non stop.."

Amilo quickly took the phone from him and answered the call....

"Cadex.."Amilo said into the phone..

"We're under attack..."Cadex shaking voice sounded from the other end..

Amilo's eyes widened when he heard gunshot in the background....., restless he move from the undergorund compartment and stepped outside..., Lorenzo tagging alongside him...

"Who is attacking the camp..?"

"Fùcking special rats."Cadex blare out from the other end....

"Cadex get my sister out of there now.."Amilo shouted....."Move to location two.."

"Roger that boss.."Cadex said before the call dropped...

"Bullshit.."Amilo growled and handed back the phone to Lorenzo...."We're going back to camp.., special rats made an attack on us..."

"What about Samuel."One of his men said.."Stylus and Muan went after him.."

"That bastard has nowhere to hide.."Amilo said....."We'll call Stylus on the way to the camp.."he added and look at another of his men..."You, you.."He pointed...."I want you to burn this house..., the rest of you follow me.., we're heading back to camp.."









******************
Heart throbbing, Henry looked towards the door as Cadex opened it unannounced...

"What's going on..?"Susan asked with renting heart...

"We need to leave..."Cadex said and motioned two men who quickly walked towards Susan....

"We're under attack..., your brother said we need to protect you.."Cadex added as one of the men lifted Susan from the wheelchair into his muscles arms while the other carried the wheelchair...

"Who is attacking you guys..?"Henry queried with furrowed brows...

Cadex didn't reply, instead he walked closer to him and extended a pistol to him....."Can you shoot...?"

Henry swallowed forcefully.., he imagined something like this was going to happen and now his imaginations were turning into a reality.., he's going to die, they're all going to die...

"No.."He said with an almost shaking mouth..

"You'll need it.."Cadex said forcing the pistol in Henry's hands..."If you see anyone with a police vest and a helmet.., shoot him.."

"Wait, is it the police..?, are they the ones attacking you guys..?"

Another round of gunshot sounded outside, this time it was close by..

"We need to move.."Cadex said ignoring Henry's question....

Susan's breathe raises and falls.., she's scared, even when she was face to face with a gun to her head she wasn't this scared..., if something happens to Henry she'll never forgive herself, she dragged him into this mess, Into her mess, Into Anita's mess.....

To all that recharged me, a big thank you to you all, I really appreciate.

********************









As both girls ambled down the corridors in a daze, they observed glistening shards of glass cascading from the burning building as flames licked the charred window frames...., The flame had no culture, no pity, no mind, Anita knew this.. yet it consumes whatever it pleases. Its only criteria is if it can take it and reduce it to ash or something molten and foul, then it will. The flames burn hot, short and violent, with no care what will be left behind., they reach the lobby only for them to notice the door that will lead them outside to the gate is caught up with fire..., fear engulfed their spines as fire burn the edges of the door.....

"What do we do..?"Rachel ask quickly...

Anita stare at the door, running through was risky given the way the fire was burning the edges, drops of the woods falling on the floor forming a new wave of fire.....
With her eyes tearing up at the thick smoke from every corner, she move forward and just when she was about taking a drastic decision, she was jumped on, both her and the person who had jumped on her went rolling on the ground....

Her head hit a chair but quickly realise she was down when she saw fire spreading it's fierce wings towards the flammable material of the chair...., with a force she stood up pushing the person on her away before the chair could ignite...

Anita's eyes widened with shock when she noticed it was Bulchama who had jumped on her, Bulchama suddenly stood up and both girls shivered and shift backward....
Bulchama growled and extended his hand towards Anita, when Anita refused and turn to run out, Bulchama got hold of her and drag her back, he pushed her towards the wall and pin her face against the wall..., he chuckle hysterically before he licked her ears....

Rachel looked around while Anita groaned in pain and disgust.., luckily for her, she found a flower vase, she quickly took it and with a full force, she hit Bulchama head breaking the vase on his head, pieces of it fell on the floor while other remain in his body, some pierced into the back of his neck....

Exasperated beyond every logical thought, Bulchama let go of Anita and turn to face Rachel..., deep fear found Rachel but she didn't move, when Bulchama made a move to get her, it quickly occur to her she's been wasting time standing, she turn to move but it was second too late, Bulchama hand reached her neck before she could run..., Breathe eluded Rachel as Bulchama stretches his wide hand around her neck cutting off every air supply, then he lifted her from the ground with his hand around her throat..

Rachel gasp as her legs dangled in mid air, she was fading, every ounce of breathe she had was slowly going from her, starved for air, she began to hit his hand but he didn't stop neither did he drop her down...

Rachel gave up and was about loosing it all when two gunshots rent the foul air..., Bulchama grasp on her throat loosen and quickly she fell down to the ground....

Anita's eyes enlarged with shock and fear as Bulchama dropped to his knee after been shot twice from behind.., she quickly turn to her side to see who could possibly have fired the shot..., her words choke in her mouth, her lips shake with vicious precision when she saw Andrew with a gun..

Exhaling, Andrew looked Anita's way, when Anita moved her legs, he faced her with the gun freezing Anita to the spot...

"Well well well..."Andrew sneer moving the gun from Anita to Rachel and then to Anita again..."We meet again.."










*****************
Samuel's house was extremely quiet yet everyone was moving, moving but not talking, their foot tapping up and down like some dumb wind up toy..., faucets drips into sinks, each one reverberating around the compound like a cymbal, yet no-one blinks or moves to stop it. Outside there is no traffic or bird song, one of the bouncers looked at the locked gate, then he stare at his time, it was 2:45AM, it was almost morning, Whatever the boss had feared was coming isn't going to come....., but he could feel the fear rising in his chest waiting to take over. Perhaps it only wants to protect him...but there really isn't any danger.....

"Nobody is coming..."Another bouncer said getting up from the chair...

The first bouncer let out a slow controlled breathe and that was when he heard a sound, it quickly occured to him it wasn't any sound from inside the compound, he look at his colleague before he drew closer to the gate and lean his ears on it....

In a terrible flash, fierce fire pushed the gate open devoring the bouncer as it pave way for incoming bullets...

Before the other bouncer could fathom what was going on, a bullet came for him, aimed to it's target, the bullet pierce his skin, blood splashed out in full force as he dropped to the ground...

Amilo Raphayes and his men quickly round the compound, some remained outside while the rest followed Amilo to the door, furious, Amilo shot the door lock, when it didn't open, he continued shooting until enough holes was sowed on it.., one of his men quickly rushed in oblivious of the gun pointed at him, before the man could take another step, a bullet from one of the policemen hit him..., he fell down making others aware there was more danger in the house.....

Amilo and Lorenzo quickly remained outside using the corners of the wall to shade themselves....

"You think they're much inside..?"Lorenzo jokingly ask Amilo..

Amilo smile, a smile that quickly disappear as it came, he calculated then he took his head out and peep inside, the moment he saw their shooters poking his own head out, he fired, the bullet from his chamber hitting the pillar one of the policemen was shading himself with but couldn't get him.....

Lorenzo was about going in when another shot was fired at them from another policeman.., Lorenzo retreated and look at Amilo....

"Play is over.."Amilo said to the men as he rushed into the house, his hand fully mounted on the trigger, when the policeman hiding behind a pillar showed his face, Amilo pulled the trigger, the enraged bullet flew out the chamber and into the air with great elegance, the bullet aims for the target beyond the shooter. As it pushes through the air with great speed, it gains less distance than it was before. Until that moment when it strikes the target and all prevails. The spit second when the Policeman falls and what was intended happens, Amilo crunched down behind a chair to shade himself before the other policemen fired shots at him making bullets lay on the ground with great excrement.....









*******************
After zipping the bag and hanging it across his shoulders, Samuel looked under the bed and took out a box, he opened the box and took a pistol out, a gift he had gotten from Sergeant Owen when he made an attack on him.., it's a good thing he didn't throw away the gun...

As another round of bullet shake the house, he threw the box down and hold the gun...

"What do we do..?"Festus ask with renting heart...

"We're going to die, we're going to die.."Success chime as she hid behind the bed...

"Let's go.., we're sticking to plans..."Samuel said heading towards the door....

Success breathe in and out but air wouldn't enter her lungs, starved for air, she followed Samuel as he led them out of the room, when a bullet sounded close, they ran back into the room and locked the door....

"I believe this is the end of the line for all of us..."Success said with shaking mouth

EPISODE 53
EPISODE TITLE-The end of the line










Thunder raise a brow, the words coming like a shock to him.., never could he have expected anyone that isn't in his circle to approach him for a gun.., for a thing he loves his boldness.....
"Wow.."Thunder mouthed filtering his surprise expression..."A gun..!"

Matthew meant every word he said, he needs a gun to kill the person that have brought him so much pains, so much agony......

"I'm serious.."Matthew said, an uncharacteristic hard line mouthing across his stubble..."I need a gun.."

"Hey slow down.."Thunder cut in dragging in his own breathe...."Who do you want to kill..?"

Matthew's jaw set as the question rumbled in his head......"An enemy.."

"Everyone has enemies.."Thunder said reclining his back on the chair...."Killing them won't stop them from piling up.."

Matthew sniffle almost immediately...."This one doesn't deserves to live.., he has ruined my entire life..."This pain.."He said touching his chest..."This heavy pain I'm feeling right now, he did it..., that bastasd killed my siblings and my father.., I want him dead..."

Thunder inhale deeply, he understood his pain, he's been there before, betrayed by someone and all he felt was the irk urge to get revenge..., he got it hoping everything he was feeling will go away but it didn't....., the excruciating painful feelings stick.....

"Have you killed someone before..?"Thunder ask curiously

Matthew swallowed bitterly..."I haven't..."

"Do you know what it takes to take another's life...?"

For a slight second Matthew kept quiet as he weigh the pros and cons of his thoughts...., the sudden reminder of his siblings and father's corpses made his nerves race with exasperation.....

"When one takes another life, his doesn't matter.., he took what belonged to me, it's only fair I take it back..."

"An eye for an eye has taken us nowhere..."

Matthew's brows furrowed at the statement...."Are you helping me or not..?"He queried angrily

Thunder huffs and reclined his back on the chair once more....."I'm sorry I don't have a gun..."

Disappointed Matthew frown and stood up from the chair...

"When you kill someone..."Thunder chime in...."The guilt never leaves.."

Matthew ground his jaw before speaking...."I'll keep that in mind..."

Those words hung in his head till he left the house, he didn't bother to look anyone neither did he reply anyone on his way out..., when out, he looked upwards to realise the once shining day is now shaded with extreme blackness of the night, Never before had he noticed how time is so much like water, that it can pass slowly, a drop at a time, even freeze, or rush by in a blink....., he knew he had to find other options, if Thunder isn't going to give him a gun, someone else will..

With that thought he trot on giving himself and Thunder's building a long distance, once more the pain drained him from the inside, he lose focus of where he's heading and stood, his mouth hung like a goldfish as flashes of his siblings and father's corpses came into his head.., it triggered tears from his eyes..., terrified he went down on his knees and let the tears flow unchecked down his face.....

Anger creep in mincing with the tears, exasperated he stood up, wipe his tears and continue walking, there he heard footsteps behind him, for a slight second he contemplated if it a person's footstep or it's just his mind playing tricks with him..., ever since he saw the corpses of his siblings and father, he's been seeing things, things that are not there.....

His heart raced when he felt something like someone was following him.., he quickly spun around but he was a split second too late, he got hit by a shover..

Matthew eyes dazed around, his feet swirl and the earth rotate around him.., he lose his balance and fell to the floor, slowly he tried to open his eyes, his sight was blur but it was enough to see a guy staring down at his face.., he blink and quickly realise how futile it was to raise a muscle when a sharp pain hit his head.., drained of every strength he have left.., he shut his eyes and give in to an oblivion of unconsciousness.......











*****************
Slowly, without making a sound, Rachel tiptoe towards the sleeping guard.., her head buzzed with what her colleague had told her earlier..., Anita is locked up with Bulchama, a height of every wickedness.., ever since she heard it, her mind has been an opaque of chaos.., she couldn't do anything not when her friend is locked up with one of the most ruthless insane man.., she didn't get the time to get the full details as to what made the doctor lock her up but she's been hearing whispers from the staffs and it occured to her Anita truth was found out....everyone knows she isn't mad...., but it pains her no one could do anything even after knowing the truth...
She had made a decision, she's getting the key to the hole and getting Anita out of there and out of the hospital.....

She drew closer to the guard and quickly sneak in a deep troubled breathe when she saw the bunch of keys hung around his waist.., each key unlocks one door and there are over seventy cells and identifying the one that opens Bulchama cell will be a problem..., she took another deep breathe realising she had opened the door before.., maybe the task won't be difficult as she thinks...

Clipping her lips tightly, she reach down to the bunch of keys.., she pause when the guard involuntarily raise a hand to his chin..., for a minute Rachel thought he is waking up but was quickly relived when the guard began snoring again.., she didn't waste any time before she pulled the bunch of keys from the guard waist.....

With the keys in her hand, she glance at her phone time, it was 2:12AM, most of the staffs on duty were probably sleeping at that time.., she quickly pocket the phone and began running towards Bulchama cell..., it didn't take long before she got there.., her heart pounding, she walked towards the cell and looked at the hole, there she saw Anita sitting at a corner sobbing...., she quickly mouthed Anita's name..

Anita quickly raise her gaze upward to see Rachel, she quickly stood up, her head almost hitting the locked iron bars of the hole...

Heart renting, Rachel began to find the key, she remenbered it, she look at Anita again who was pointing at Bulchama motioning to her he's sleeping..., with a nod at Anita, Rachel fit the key into the lock and with a swing of her hand, she unlock it, then she open it wide and extended her hand towards Anita to help her in climbing out.....

Anita's breath seemed to stutter in her lungs before she let it go, feeling the tension drain from her body. Her breathing returned to normal and she felt as if she could face what's next.....

"Are you okay..?"Rachel ask quickly...

Anita wipe the tears from her eyes before she nodded...

"I'm getting you out of here.."Rachel said taking Anita's hand..

"Wait, how..?"Anita ask curiously

Rachel didn't think of that, earlier when she resumed for duty, she noticed the security at the gate had tightened and getting out of the hospital is only through the gate.., she turn back to Anita and that was when an idea crossed her mind...

"I know a way.."She said looking at the bunch of keys in her hand....."Follow me.."

Like an obedient child, Anita followed her, she walked down the corridors in an increased pace, they stopped only when they got to the cell sector..., a place where all the mad men were be locked behind bars, Anita looked at bright and dark eyes looking back at her, some insane men behind bars grin stupidly while others just frown and mind their business....

Once again Rachel looked at the bunch of keys.., she didn't waste anytime before she walked up to the first cell and began trying the keys out, when one unlocked the gate.., she took a pause weighing the weight of her plans...., deciding it's a good deed, she opened the gate but to her surprise the three mad men inside shift backwards as if they're scared...

Rachel look at them, there she saw the fear in their eyes, after the injections and whipping per the DR order, they ought to be afraid....

"Go.."Rachel said opening the gate widely..."You're free, run away....."

When they didn't move, she moved on to the next cell but to her surprise the mad men ran out, they stopped to look at her a bit before they ran off...

"What are you doing....?"Anita ask looking around to see if anyone is approaching...

"If we are going to get past the gate.."Rachel said back.."We need more than the two of us.."

Anita move her eyes around, some mad men who already witness the first people running off began to cling to the bars of their cell......

"Give me some.."Anita said extending her hand..

Rachel quickly pull out some keys and handed to her.., together both girls began to open each cell door letting free of every mad man, the good, the bad, the ugly, the monstrous.....

Insanity reaches it's peak as the men began shaking the bars each agitating for their own release..., Both girls turn to look at each other when they heard screams from a distance, then came the clanking of metals, glasses shattering, falling and breaking to pieces.., just then they realise hell has been let loose....







*****************
The screams woke Andrew up, when a loud bang hit the iron door, he shivered and began to nibbed on the gag..., once again as he's been doing for the past few hours, he began to swing his hands from the ropes.., he grimace at the injuries the ropes were making in his arms.., jaw rooted he extended his arms over his head and kept them in front of him while keeping his palms and elbows together, ignoring the pains, he Started shimmying his hands free from the rope until he got one of his hands free, he bit on one of the strands to loosen the rope..., once loosen, he quickly took the ropes off him, remove the duck tape from his mouth and loosen the one in his tummy..., he took a deep breathe and quickly stood up from the chair and trace his fingers on the wall until he found the door, when he found it , he gropes for the bolt and quickly unbolt the door.., light rays shone on his eyes when he opened the door.., breathing heavily, he staggered out of the dark room.....









****************
Bulchama woke up to the loud noise and quickly he look around, when he didn't see Anita he looked up only to see the cell gate open..

"My wife.."He mutter..."They took my wife.."..

His jaw tightened and that was when he climbed out of the cell in search of Anita.....

Angry he turned to the corridors like an enraged panther.., sane and insane people zoomed past him.., when he heard a loud noise from the kitchen, he diverted his attention and head to the kitchen instead.., mad men run around throwing plates, pots and other things around...
Bulchama growled and was about leaving when a thought crossed his mind, he went back into the kitchen and quickly began to lit the gas cookers, then he carried one of the cylinders, he grabbed a chopping knife and began hitting the cylinder with the sharp edge of it,.., the other mad men saw this and quickly turn on the other two cylinder and reach for any sharp thing they could see in the kitchen, each laughing, thry began to hit the cylinder.., a hole pricked into one of the cylinders and quickly gas began to gush out....









****************
Reaching for the gate was all that matters and both girls weren't stopping for anything not even to take a pause to look at the chaos they've caused..., they walked on the corridors, people run past them each shouting, some stopping to narrate how some of the mad men were taking over the hospital.....

Anger thrummed in Anita's veins as she brood over what happened the previous day, Samuel's horrible words replayed in her head over and over.., everyone she loves can't be dead.., her family can't be dead..., she increased her walking pace as they edge closer to the door that will lead them outside to the gate...., just then the emergency and fire alarm went off, both girls looked up as the alarm resounds without stop...










*****************
The rumbling of Andrew's stomach quickly reminded him of his encounter with Rachel and Anita, few hours ago he had sworn to get back at them no matter the odds, they'll surely pay for what they did to him..., he ventured into another of the corridor and saw people destroying windows and hitting doors, he quickly realise they weren't normal, noticing how much the mad men were, he changed direction as he asked himself what could be going on..., he manage to see a woman, a woman he knows so well running towards his direction....

"What's going on..?"He asked immediately and waited for the woman to breathe before she replied..

"The patients have taken over the hospital, everywhere is in chaos.."

Andrew turn away from her only to see smoke blowing like wind towards them, in a mesmerise black, Andrew saw Smoke twirled skyward bursting out from the roof as if the wisps were dance partners of ancient myth...., Flames rise into the night as if they challenge the heavens to stop their consumption of what was a hospital and place of healing, yet the fire is impatient and the heavens breathe eons and moments as if they were one...

"Save yourself doctor..., those mad men are burning the hospital.."

Andrew couldn't ask further questions before the woman ran off.., breathing in the toxic stench of the fire, he trot on and head towards an office....

Getting there, he ran in as if he was been pursued.., he pulled out a drawer, took a bag out and empty the contents of the bag on the ground, when a key fell out, he pick up the key and open up a safe in the office, he inhale realising his gun was still in the safe, he quickly took the small pistol out, grab some bullets and loaded the gun.., satisfy, he walked outside again..., what greeted him was an explosion, the sound of the explosion coming in terrible echo as if it were the anguished cry of God...., it rent the air as if it was intent on shattering the universe by ripping apart every atom.....

Fear snatched every breathe from Andrew, when he finally got himself, he look around and from where he stood, he could see the walls were already cracking.., he looked up and saw the fire licking through the roof consuming everything it came in contact with, flames ripped their way through the rooms surrounding him, tendrils of smoke reaching desperately into the sky, as if trying to escape the blazing inferno below.....
Heart pounding, he moved from where he stood with intentions of escaping...

Thebigdream:
If he likes let him protect himself with the entire police force, he'll still die, useless boy

enirock:
So Samuel was beaten to a pulp(e never chi chum thing). Susan wants to join Amilo in her condition? I can't wait for the fear to get to Festus and Success (I heard fools(scared cats) die a thousand times before their death. Thanks Silver for the update. Keep them flowing.

Thanks man

***************







The sadness drained through him as he watch the youths laid his siblings and father's corpses in the three graves they have dug..., torrents of tears stream down his eyes, all his friends and well wishers could do was embrace and console him , but neither did the pain nor the anger went away, each breathe he took was suffocating..., why does so much have to happen to them, his sister in a mental asylum, his siblings and only parent dead..., he cluched on his friend's shirt, each gasp from his heavy sobs tore down his throat and his mind raced even as he lost himself in the taunting and painful moment....

He loosened and crunched down to the ground as his friend let him but they didn't take their hands off him, when the first round of sand landed on the graves.., his breathe choked on his lungs as he tried to utter words.., suddenly he towered over his friends but quickly fell back down realising it was too hard to stand on his feet....

No, they couldn't be gone not after they'd promised each other to stay together, to be strong together,.dammit! he pounded the cold floor. Hissed a breath through clenched teeth. But the strength left him, even as he attempted to stand up again, his throat held back something between a sob and a shout...., His lungs rummaged for oxygen, and his sobbing had the same force of someone drowning. The flesh under his ribcage throbbed, his cheeks burned, and his mind created memories and scenarios that made the tears continue....., only then did his seething anger grew like a tumor inside him and all he could think about was one person.., one person who had ruined his entire life, one person who could be responsible for his siblings and father's dead, one person who had made his sister mad and tried to kill him, one person who isn't just his enemy but the family enemy......,one person whose name he'll never forget, even at the verge of death...., one person whose name he'll take to the great beyond, whose name he'll battered with his ancestors and every spirit being....SAMUEL OKWECHE....the evil that walks among men....








*****************
Television, now the solution to Mr Smith boredom as he became engrossed on the TV show chuckling and gigling over every funny statement from the characters..., he spun around to face the door when a light knock came on it.., he had instructed his secretary earlier that he needed no disturb and now someone was knocking , a snag to his peaceful moments....

"Come in.."He said slightly taking his eyes back to the TV...

"Good evening sir..."His secretary greeted...

A little frown line encroached on Mr Smith forehead, he's a man that lives strictly by his words and when he says no disturbance, he means no disturbance....

"I'm sorry for interrupting your moment sir, I couldn't adhere to your instructions because this is urgent..."

"What..?"Mr Smith ask after a slight hesitation..

"The police are here.."

Shock swept across Mr Smith face but he didn't show it, didn't want to not in front of his secretary....
"Why are the police here..?"He ask..

"They didn't say sir.., they only said they want to see the person in charge.., they refused me handling it..."

He jut his chin before words muff from his mouth..."Let them in.."

"Yes sir.."She said and left

It wasn't long before she reappear with Officer Marcus, Thomas and Hannah...

"I'll take my leave sir.."She said and left immediately Mr Smith nodded...

Before breaking the silence that enguffed between them, Officer Marcus looked around admiring the interiors and settings of the office..

"Officers.."Mr Smith called reclining his back on his executive chair..."To what do I owe this unannounced visit...?"

The officers glance at each other each waiting for who will speak up first.., after few moments of contemplating in their minds, Officer Thomas spoke up....."Nice office.."

Mr Smith nibbed and look around before fusing his gaze on them again...

Officer Hannah took out a newspaper page from the small bag she hung around her shoulder and placed it on the table....

"Nurse Titiana.."Officer Thomas said pointing at the dead body picture in the newspaper..."Ring a bell..?"

Mr Smith eyes lowered down to the newspaper before he raised his gaze at them again...."What is this..?"He retorted.."You came all this way to ask me if a dead nurse name rings a bell..."

"She was here days before she was found dead.."Officer Marcus chime in...."And we happen to have ask some people a few question before we got up here.., they all said she was here in this office with you..., Smith I believe.."

Mr Smith took a deep breathe.."I'm Smith and yes she was here and I believe whoever told you she came here must have told you the reason she was here.."

"What reason is that..?"Officer Hannah ask immediately

"A job.."Mr Smith stated before reclining his back on the chair again...."She came here seeking for a job of which her qualifications didn't match so we had to declined..., she left after which.."

"Do you know she's dead..?"Officer Marcus ask

Mr Smith nearly chuckle at the flimsy question..."I saw the news....".

"This is the last place she was saw before her painful demise..."

Mr Smith raise his brow..."So it happens.., do you think someone from the company killed her because that will be so ridiculous...."

"We're only asking questions Mr Smith.."Officer Thomas said

"If you have questions, I'll refer you to the firm lawyer.., he'll answer any question you're willing to ask..."

"Mr Smith...

"The firm lawyer's name is Mr Billy.."Mr Smith cut in immediately, his voice showing his edge of irritation..."I'm saying nothing no more and if you persist with your questions.., I'll sue for defamation, contempt, denigration, opprobrium, an invective revilement of this great....

"It's fine..."Officer Thomas cut in...

The officers look at each other before Officer Marcus spoke up.....

"If anything relating to her death comes to your table, do well to notify us..."

Mr Smith took a breather before replying..."I'll do my best.."

"Thank you for your time..."Officer Thomas said before they left the office..

Annoyed, Mr Smith picked up the remote and turned off the TV..., he pick up his phone, scroll through his contacts and dialled a number......







******************
As the daylight dwindled from the sky, the winds became more rusty giving the cloud a new definition.., Matthew thoughts it was going to pour as he looked upward to the sky.., he stood at the gate like a statue, anyone who sees him could easily guess he's been drained with profound sadness.., his pain was raw that he could hardly breathe..., he prays it pours, let the rain wash away the tears.., the anger was still there, vexing him to the point he could no longer take and all he could do now is pour it to the thing that sowed it, nurture it until it became too big to put down..

"Na who you be..?"A voice chime in from behind him

Swallowing heavily, he turn around, towards the direction of the voice.., the clouds have been robbed of their lights but even in the thick darkness he could still see the face of the person standing before him, he quickly realise that isn't the person he is looking for....

"I want to see Thunder.."Matthew said, his voice bold, before now, he would be shivering, no one dare to even come near the compound let alone speaking up to one of the gang members in his community...

"What for...?"The baritone voice asked back

"What I want to say is for only his ears.. "

"You dey craze.."The baritone voice retorted in pidgin..

Those words were enough to chase fear in Matthew, chase him away even but for a thing, he stood, totally composed and unmoved..., right there he realise whatever anger he was feeling was beyond fear..beyond reasoning.....

"Let him.."Another voice chime in before the gate creak and bulb light from the compound shone in their faces...."Where you the one knocking..?"

Matthew took a breather before he nod his head...

"Come in.."The person said paving the way for Matthew..

Without a second thought, Matthew walked in, dogs chained to the fence barked at him but he didn't move, neither was there any trace of fear found in his nerve...

"I want to see Thunder.."Matthew repeated..

The second man who had joined them nodded and motioned him forward.., Matthew followed him into the threshold until he opened the door and they both walk in....

For a slight second, Matthew found himself looking at the art paintings and beautification of the house but was quickly interrupted by a person's voice...

"Aren't you the guy who lost his siblings and father..?"Thunder ask climbing down from the stairs...

Matthew felt a pinch of anger at the sudden reminder...."Yes.."

"I'm sorry for your loss..."Thunder said

Matthew sniffle but said nothing...

"I heard you're looking for me.."Thunder said walking towards a chair, he sat and pointed a chair motioning Matthew to sit down too...

"Please i need your help.."Matthew said declining Thunder's offer for a chair...

Thunder raise his brows..."My help...!, I don't know how I can help you.."

"I need a gun.."Matthew said suddenly..

Thunder's mouth dropped..."A gun.."He reiterates before he chuckle..."What for if I may ask.."

Matthew lips curl, a muscle in his face twiched into a frown before a line set across his jaw..., great bitterness sweep through him with great force...., he couldn't handle it so he said the words out...."I want to kill someone.."







The clock has turned and the hunter has become the hunted, time is running out, the hunted knows the game has changed and he's going to die if he doesn't do something smart and fast, with everyone against him, he had to make the deadliest decision that will throw everyone off the cliff..., but who will fall first..., the hunters or the hunted...?

Not your usual fairytale story.....

PLAGIARIZED
EPISODE 52
EPISODE TITLE- On hot grounds









Matthew stood on the road as still as the trees, not totally frozen, for just as their budded twigs move so does his hair, his eyes were closed, Tousled auburn ribbons whip about his face, blown by air as fresh as any after a rainstorm.., After several deep breaths he took a step forward, his thoughts were twisting, tuning and sad.., suffocating him with their whispers....

He took another step forward but he was totally weigh down by the heavy burden in his shoulder..., he stood as everyone turn to him, his breathe came in gasps as he remenber what he was told earlier.., just then he moved his eyes from the people approaching him to the three corpse laid on the ground....., the sadness drained through him and before anyone could reach him, he crunched down to the ground and fell to his knees..., hot tears rolled down his eyes but his eyes remain fused on the corpses, the painful dead bodies of his family......








****************
The DPO stare at officer Hannah the moment she entered the office.., a bit confused on how to act, officer Hannah quickly greeted and saluted.., her sudden move made officer Marcus and Thomas chuckle.....

"Why didn't you come with them..?"The DPO ask

Officer Hannah glance at the other two before she returned her gaze to the DPO..."I was using the restroom sir..."

For a second, the DPO just stood staring at her, without another word to her, he shift his eyes to the other officers......."Samuel Okweche called.., he said he need some policemen to go to his house.."

Officer Hannah mouth dropped as the thoughts of what could have happened to Samuel rumbled in her head...

"He added someone is trying to kill him.."The DPO added..

"Who's trying to kill him sir..?"Officer Thomas quickly ask, his tone clearly showing his withdrawal ....

The DPO looked askance at him before he replied the question..."He didn't mention.."

"Are you suggesting we go there sir...?"Officer Marcus ask curiously...

The DPO hesitated a bit before words leap out from his mouth.."I've already sent four other officers to his house not quite long, so no, you won't be going there.."

Officer Thomas sigh, a sigh of relief...

"But I do have another job for you.."The DPO said taking out a newspaper from his table drawer.., he glance at the newspaper before he threw it on the table...

The officers eyes peered at the open page of the newspaper.., right there they knew what the DPO is going to say....

"This lady Titi..."The DPO said.."I believe you all have been brief about the unsure things surrounding her death.."

"She was shot.."Officer Hannah chime in.."A bullet to her head.."

"She couldn't have shot herself.."The DPO said..."Someone killed her..."

Officer Marcus nibbed, they know fully well that someone killed her but who...., so many times they've had reoccurring events, someone dies and is later discovered that is actually someone that killed them but the cases are never solved.., rather they're been closed and forgotten after a while..this case will be no different....

"You all must have know a friend of hers made a tweet, and this tweet happens to involve the mako company..."

"Could someone there be involved in her death.."Officer Hanna cut in..

The DPO look at her then he took a deep breathe before replying..."I haven't said so.., but this tweet since to be going viral and the press are already asking questions and publishing all sorts of articles..., we need to act.., which is why the three of you have been assigned to find out whatever the mako company knows about that nurse death"

"Sir..."Officer Hannah chime in with her right hand a bit above her head, when the DPO turned her way, she continued...."The nurse has been long dead before we found her.., i strongly believe if there's any evidence linking her to the mako company..., it could be destroyed by now...."

The DPO jut his chin before he folded his hand...."What's your job officer...?"

Officer Hannah didn't reply, didn't want to not after knowing the next things that will come out from the DPO'S mouth if she replies him....

When the DPO got no reply, he turn to the others....."I'll like to have a report on how far you've gone by next week...., you're dismissed..."

Without further words, they all saluted and left the office..








*****************
Success pace about, Samuel revelation eluding her of words....,every breathe became rasps as fear sink in...

"Who could have want to kill you ..?"Festus ask anxiously moving his eyes to the window at every chance..

Samuel took a deep breathe in attempt to calm his panic, but it didn't work, nothing he does seem to calm him down., he certainly can't be calm not after escaping the clutches of death moments ago.., he remenber the beatings, the severe punches and whipping, if someone hasn't claimed he knows him and confess to seeing everything that happened between him and the one who almost killed him., the angry market traders wouldn't have let him go..., they didn't let him..he escaped..barely....

He turn to Festus, his eyes boiling with rage, then he turn away and made a few steps from him....

"I don't know.."Samuel said turning to face him again..."He was wearing a helmet that covered his face.."

"Who else than one of your many enemies.."Success blare out angrily.....

Samuel looked her way with the firece alertness of her words...

"I told you your stupid decisions will put us in trouble one day.."Success added..

A muscle in Samuel's face twiched into a frown...."Are you crazy or what.., I never asked you to join me, you chose to join me.."

"As if I wouldn't have dropped dead if I had left you..."Success fling back

"Shut your mouth.."Samuel sneer.."Else I'll throw you out of this house.."

"Oh please with all might do it.."Success retorted.."That way I won't be here when whoever wants you dead comes looking for you.."

"Will you two stop.."Festus interjects....."This isn't the time for this.., right now we need to think who's after you...., who else other than Anita and her friend have you offend...?"

Samuel lips curl as he took his gaze from Success to Festus..."Nobody.."

"Seriously nobody..!"Success reiterates with a frown..."Your are always stepping on people Samuel..., because you're rich, everyone is a pauper to you..."

"Will you shut up..?"Samuel raved at her..

Success hissed and folded her arms..

"Could it be Anita...?"Festus ask remembering Success dream...

"It was a male Festus.."Samuel said dragging the words between his lips..."A man tried to kill me..."

"She could have sent someone.."

"From the mental asylum...?"Success cut in ...."You guys are seriously shìtting me..."

Both boys looked at her, when she poked her eyes at them, they turn their gaze away....

"You said Susan is dead, so it can't be her.."Festus said

Samuel made a few steps from him and brood over what had transpired between him and Anita...."Anita isn't mad.."he said returning his gaze to him...

"Wait what..?"Festus queried a bit shocked.."The doctor told us she's mad.."

Samuel nibbed, a pinch of irritation sliced across his face..."Turned out she lied and if she lied about that, she could possibly have lied to us about Susan's death...."

"So Susan could be alive....?"Festus ask curiously....

"I do wish she's dead.."Samuel sneer..."That bitch.."

"If Susan is alive..."Success cut in...

"She could have contacted her brother..."Festus added, a prickle of fear lingering around his nerves...

"Amilo Raphayes..."Samuel mutter...

"That's nonsense.."Success cut in.."If it's Amilo that attacked you, you would be dead.., he's a ruthless killer and a legend.."

"Then who else could possibly want him dead..?"Festus blare out totally running out of names...

"He should tell us.."Success replied pointing at Samuel..."Making enemies is his specialty.."

"You have someone in mind..?"Festus ask Success.

"Oh the list is long..."Success said turning to face Samuel.."Do you remember the waiter you slapped at Dora's party...?"

"Oh please..."Samuel dragged between his teeth..."That idiot poured drink on me.."

"It was a mistake.."Success said.."And you had to slap him so hard in front of everyone.., he was an elderly man for God sake...."

A hard line set across Samuel jaw..."So you think an ordinary waiter got a gun to shoot at me because I slapped him....?"

"I wouldn't rule it out..."Success replied..."I've seen people who killed people because they slapped them.."

Samuel eyes bore into hers when he realise who Success was referring to....

"What about that guy you disgraced publicly when he asked you to stop insulting his girlfriend.., you had your bouncers beat him up almost to an early grave..."

"That riff-raff.."Samuel sneer....."He deserves what he got..."

"His girlfriend only ask to take a picture with you and you rained insults on her.., he only intervened.., you didn't have to kill him.."

"I didn't kill him..."

"He almost died..."

Samuel hissed and look away...

"That's a good excuse to retaliate.. "Festus chime in...."Who knows who he really is.., a cultist, assassin......

"That poverty stricken prat didn't had the guts to stand up to my bouncers...."Samuel cut in...."I doubt he can hold a gun let alone to fire it.."

"Then you really don't know people.."Success interjects......"This is what happens when you provoke too many people...."

Samuel was about replying when the intercom in the room disrupt the discussion with it's loud tone..., for a moment they all stood waiting for who will make a move to answer the call.., when no one did after seconds of staring at each other face.., Festus made the move, he reach the intercom before the tone ended...

"The police are here.."One of Samuel's bouncers said from the other end...

Festus glance up at Samuel before he replied..."Let them in.."

EPISODE TITLE-Run thee the skeletons








After driving past the gate, Amilo Raphayes slow down the bike before he finally raced it to a stop, he took out his helmet and came down from the bike..

"You're welcome.."Lorenzo said walking Amilo's way...

Amilo dropped the helmet on the bike, breathe in the fresh air of the woods before he fused his gaze on Lorenzo.....

"What's up with the drone..?"Amilo ask dropping his eyes on the drone in Lorenzo's hand..

"What do you think.., fùcking special rats..."

"Special rats were here..?"Amilo ask walking past him...

"They weren't..."Lorenzo said walking after him...."It's just the drone.., it has their logo..."

"Has any of the men been out from camp today..?"Amilo ask when Lorenzo caught up with him...

"Cadex was out this morning.. "Lorenzo said troting alongside Amilo..

"Those rats don't know Cadex...."Amilo stated..

"You think the drone wasn't for us....?"

Amilo stop but only to take a breather.., he look Lorenzo's way and continue walking...."I don't think so, we were cautious when we came here but pin your ear to the ground.., if that thing was truly to search us out.., then we need to reach the next plan.."

"How was it..?"Lorenzo ask hastening his steps to catch up with Amilo again..."Is he dead..?"

"He's not.."Amilo said over his shoulder not bothering to stop or face Lorenzo...."We'll be paying him a visit tonight...."

"Why didn't you kill him..?"Lorenzo ask curiously knowing fully well Amilo doesn't miss a target when he's determined...

"I still want him alive.."Amilo replied stopping to look at Lorenzo....."A bullet will be too merciful for him."

Lorenzo nibbed and walk alongside Amilo until they got to where Susan and Henry were sitting....

"And how's is my little sister doing...?"Amilo ask with a smile circling his lips...

Susan didn't say a word, nor did she return the smile....

Amilo crunched down to her sitting level, the exertions of what happened earlier between him and Samuel Cross his head.., he sniffle before he waved it off.....

"You don't look happy to see me.."Amilo said

"That's because I'm not happy...."Susan said rolling the wheelchair from his side to another...

Amilo nibbed and stood up to his feet....."Can you give me and my sister a minute..?"Amilo said to Henry...

Henry hesitated a bit but when he caught Lorenzo looking his way, he quickly move and follow Lorenzo outside.....

Amilo sniffed and folded his hand when he was sure Lorenzo and Henry were out of earshot....."If it must interest you, I gave him a headstart.."

Susan quickly spun the wheelchair around to face him...."Gave who a headstart..?"

"That bastard.."Amilo said folding his hand..."The reason you're in a wheelchair.."

"You met with Samuel..?"Susan ask curiously....

"Mm-mmm..."

"Well is he dead..?"She ask, a frown engulfing her forehead...

"Not yet..., I realise dead will be too good for him.., I want him alive, I want him brought before you.., I want him kneeling before you.., I want your face to be the last he sees...., after that he can die..."

Susan swallow forcefully , she lower her gaze as she brood over the last time she had met Samuel......









*******************
Henry shift his gaze towards the door again with unsettled mind.., what the brother and sister could be discussing bothers him, he knows it isn't his concern but curiousity they say kills the cat....

"Do not worry..."Lorenzo said liting up a cigarette...."He's not going to kill her, he's her brother.. "

Henry exhales and shifts his gaze to Lorenzo.., he turn away his face for a second when Lorenzo puff out the cigarette smoke.....

"How long have you known him..?"Henry said reverting his gaze to him again..

"Known who..?"

Henry waited a bit before replying..."Amilo..."

"Since he became a criminal.."Lorenzo said puffing out another round of smoke..

"And when precisely was that..?"

The cigar smoke eddied coolly down Lorenzo throat, he puffed it out again in rings which breasted the air bravely for a moment before it disappeared.....

"What are you, a fùcking police, a reporter....?"Lorenzo queried..

Henry's jaw clenched before he replied.."I'm non of that..."

"Why the many questions then..?"

"I'm just curious.."

"Don't be.."Lorenzo said..."Curiousity kills you faster..."









******************
"What happens after he dies..?"Susan ask rolling the wheelchair to another side of the tent...

Amilo sigh before speaking up..."I'm going to leave.."

"So you're just going to leave again..?"Susan queried...

Amilo jut his chin and drew nearer go her..."You know why I have to leave.., I'll be a danger to you..."

"I'm already in danger."Susan fling back.."I need you here with me.."

"You'll cease to be in danger when that bastard finally dies.."

"This isn't about him, this is about us.."

Amilo exhales and took few steps backward....

"Since you left my life has been in shit..."Susan added..

"I can't stay Peppa.."Amilo said crisply..."I'm always on the run..., I don't want you involve in that life..."

"Haven't you noticed..."Susan said with frown lines encroaching on her forehead....."I'm becoming you.., indeed this is our fate..."

Amilo didn't say a word, didn't want to, Susan will never understand while he made those choices he made years ago..., his phone ringtone interrupted his thoughts, quickly he took his phone from his pocket and look at the caller...., it was a burner line, a line he knows very well...., he looked Susan way, she was still smouldering in her frown expression, he shift his gaze from her, took a few steps from where she's standing before he answered the call......

"What do you want..?"Amilo ask over the phone...

"That isn't a way to greet a friend.."Chief Carlos voice sound from the other end..

Amilo's brows drew together at Carlos voice but he didn't say anything...

There was silence on the phone before Carlos voice came again....
"I have a shipment coming in next week, I want you to be there..."..

Amilo look Susan's way but turn his gaze away a second later....."I have plans, i won't be around to do that..."

"Oh come on.."Carlos said from the other end....."I really want you there Amilo..."

"Like I said chief, I have plans.."

"Don't tell me you're declining this offer..."Carlos stated from the other end.

Amilo took the phone from his ears.., he hesitated before he ended the call....
"Bastard.."He sneer silently and move towards Susan....








******************
The bouncer stare blankly at the house, behind his stare was a mountain of thoughts, random thoughts coming in both good and bad.., he shook off the thoughts and return his gaze to his colleague......

"When are we going to build this kind of house..?"He ask his colleague

His colleague who's sitting on a chair just in front of the security house smile..."You need to work hard to get this kind of house.."

"You think our boss worked hard to get this house..., this house was given to him as a gift..."

"Yes.."His colleague drag between his teeth..."After he worked hard to write the story that got him this wealth..."

The bouncer was about replying when they heard a loud bang on the gate.., shocked one of them rushed towards the gate and peep.., his mouth dropped noticing it was the boss..., he didn't waste any time before he opened the gate wide....

Breathing heavily Samuel rushed into the compound.., blood flowed thickly from his body, it poured out from his wounds as if in slow motion, before the bouncers could fathom what exactly happened to him, he slumped to the ground..

"Boss.."One of the bouncers shouted and rushed to his side..

Feeling the blood soaked his shirt, Samuel stare, unable to move as blood gushes from his wounds...

One of the bouncers lifted him in his shoulder and carry him towards the main house.., the other bouncer rang a loud knock on the door, the bouncer didn't wait for the door to be open, he quickly pull the knob down and the door swung open..., they quickly dropped Samuel on the chair when they saw Festus and Success rushing down from the stairs......

Success froze on seeing Samuel, she stood, shocked as blood flow down his neck into his white sleeve...

"Sammy..."Festus shouted running towards him...

Blood gushed with sickening determination from Samuel's neck, as if his own heart sought to pump it from his body, his fingers clamped over the wound, two pale starfish growing paler by the second. The scarlet blood lashed over the chair, painting the scene in which he would be found dead unless he did something very smart and very fast.....

"Call the doctor.."Success blare out, shocked still etched in her face...

The violent red stained Samuel's shaking hands, the colour burned in his mind along with what had happened earlier...., just then he snapped out of it...

"I need your phone..."Samuel said struggling to get up from the chair but quickly realise how futile it was to get up when he felt a slight pain in his leg and fell....

He stood up again with the help of Festus and the bouncers...

"What happened to you..?"Success ask anxiously...

"Call the DPO.."Samuel said ignoring Success question...

"Bu..but..but why..?"

"Just do as I say..?"Samuel yelled

With shaking hands, Festus did as he was told, he took his phone out and dialled the DPO's number who answered the call after the third ring....

"Hello.."Festus said before Samuel snatched the phone from him..

"Who is this..?"The DPO's voice sound from the other end...

Breathing heavily, Samuel spoke into the phone...."This is Samuel DPO...."

There was silence from the DPOs end and it was as if he's trying to remenber who Samuel is...

"This is Samuel Okweche Damn it.."Samuel yelled into the phone...

"Oh o.., Mr Samuel.."The DPO said from the other end...

"Someone is trying to kill me.."Samuel said..

Shock swept across everyone's face but none said anything..., Success took a few steps backward by the alertness of the words while Festus looked outside through the window....

"I need security sir..."Samuel added...."I'm scared whoever it is will come to my house.., my life is in danger....."

"I'll send the men i can.."The DPO said from the other end...."Keep me informed about anything..."

"Please i need the men now sir and they should come with guns..."

"I'm sending some men to your house right now..."

Samuel dropped the phone and ended the call and turn towards the bouncers...."Lock the gates.., open for noone except the police..., and protect this house with your life..."

The bouncers exchange glances before one of them manage to speak up..

"Exactly what are we up against sir..?"

Samuel's nostril flare with irritation...."This isn't the time to ask questions, I'm paying you to protect me.., go, get out..."

Without another word, the bouncers left slamming the door on their way out..

"Can you tell us exactly what is going on here...?"Success queried..

EPISODE TITLE- Drums of war (PART E)









After a second glance at the newspaper, officer Marcus turned to the next page, he nibbed as he read the headline, not bothering to read the content, he turn the leaf, he took a pause when the headline caught his interest...

"What is happening in this country..?"He ask with a cringe at his partner, officer Hannah who was sitting just opposite his table, when she didn't reply but rather focus on the live TV Show she was watching, he revert his focus to the newspaper.., he fused his attention on the newspaper until a file dropped on his table...

Removing his attention from the newspaper, he raised his gaze to the person who had thrown the file on the table, it was his colleague and partner, officer Thomas....

"That's her case file..."Officer Thomas said sitting on his desk just beside officer Marcus...

"Whose file..?" Officer Marcus ask dropping the newspaper to pick the file up..

"That dead woman..Titiana..."

"You mean the nurse..nurse Titi..?"

"You already know."Officer Thomas ask

"Yes I already know.."Officer Marcus said dropping the file....."I got the information firsthand and ask Polo to type it.."

"Did you tell anyone from the special agents..?"Officer Thomas ask

Officer Marcus hesitated a bit before he answered the question..."Yes.."

Officer Thomas gave him an askance look before he lean his body on the chair...."Is DPO aware..?"

"I don't have to tell him.."

"DPO is pissed."Officer Thomas said.."You weren't there when he called me and Hannah to his office to query us., he warned us seriously to stop giving anyone from the special agents information that beats around our jurisdiction..."

Officer Marcus nearly hissed at the statement, he look at Officer Hannah ,her focus was still fused on the TV.., he sigh before he returned his gaze to Officer Thomas...

"DPO knows very well we can't solve these cases..."

"Say that to him and you'll be suspended.."

Officer Marcus scoffs...."Let the special agents handle it..."

"You know very well they won't.."Said officer Thomas..."Those guys are bend on catching Carlos.."

"They've been trying that for years with no success, I wonder why they won't give up.."

"That's why they're special agents.."

Officer Marcus turn his gaze from him and reverted them to officer Hannah before he turn his attention towards the TV...

"Is that not the boy that won money with his book..?"Officer Thomas ask looking at the TV..

The alertness of the question made Officer Hannah look his way....

"Yes.."Officer Hannah said dropping her phone on the table..."His name is Samuel.."

"Samuel."Officer Marcus reiterates..."I've been trying to remember his name.."

"He's really lucky.. "Officer Thomas chime in..."Which Nigerian reads a story let alone winning with it..."

"My son loves this guy.."Officer Hannah cut in..."I can't believe my twelve year old son bought a book to start writing a story.., he worships this guy like an idol..."

"Yeah.."Officer Marcus dragged between his teeth."He's an inspiration to so many youths out there.., I like the guy.."

"So do I.. "Officer Hannah added








******************
The ice falls against the glass, Success fingers slide on the condensation before her fingers regain their grip. She felt the chill run down her esophagus and her head made an involuntary shake. A numbness creeps into her brain the way it did when she was a kid drinking too much slurpee.., too fast. It's the reverse of the rainy days, when all she want is the feel the heat of good coffee coming through a thick clay mug. When the glass was almost drained, she took the ice between her molars and bite hard, feeling it melt into cold pools on her palate.......

"What a great liar.."Festus said, a chuckle following his words.., he took his eyes from the TV and sat beside Success before returning his gaze to the TV...

Success took a gulp of the cold wine again, when she dropped the glass, she lifted her eyes towards the TV, she almost hissed at the statement Samuel made in the TV show...

"Why would he be lying that much..?"Success ask taking up the glass to take another gulp down of the juice..

"What else can he do..?"Festus ask back..."Say the truth.?."

"It's annoying you know..., after getting her arrested, making her mad and putting her in a mental asylum, he's still telling so much lies.."

"Is live TV..."Festus said.."He can't possibly say the truth.., we both know the truth is ugly.., it won't just ruin him, it'll ruin us.."

Success forehead creased.."Well sometimes, saying nothing is the best.."

"You know very well Samuel is bend on ruining her.."

"He already killed everyone she loves.., what else is there to ruin.."

Festus nibbed and once again fused his attention on the TV...."Well if you ask me, I'll say she deserve everything she got.."

Success turn to face him with the alertness of the words, her forehead burrowed into a frown before she opened her mouth to talk..."Deserve it.., nobody deserves that kind of treatment..."

"She should have stayed quiet when she discovered Samuel won with her story..."

"Stayed quiet..!,are you kidding me...?"

"The least she could have done is beg some money from Samuel instead of making that stupid video.., that stupid video ruined her..."

"What would you have done if you were in her shoes .., stay quiet?"

"If I were her, I'll make a deal with Samuel and take whatever I can get..., she was stupid and her stupidity caused her whatever she had been through.."

"You are just like Samuel.. "Success said before picking up her glass of juice.., face frowned, she emptied the glass...









******************
Dr Charana cast her eyes from the TV, her mouth in a full frown, what transpired between Anita and Samuel came running back to her head infuriating her with full precision once more..., she shift her gaze back to the TV again when another question was thrown by the presenter to Samuel.., her forehead furrowed at Samuel's reply..., annoyed with Anita earliest display, she pick up the remote and turn off the TV, she was at the verge of leaving the office when her office door open.., she stood, her brows snapping together at the sight of the person who walked into her office...

"I told you never to come to my office.."Dr Charana said walking back to her desk..

Vialo grit, his face surrounded with suppressed rage."You said you were going to call me.."

"Is she dead..?"Dr Charana ask ignoring his statement...

"That wrench killed another of my men..."

"Another..!"Dr Charana reiterates surprised..."How's that even possible.., are you telling me a mere girl killed two of your men...?"

"Someone is protecting her.."

"Then kill them both..., I want her dead, not excuses.."

"Well so do I.. "Vialo fling back angrily...."You really think I'm going to spare her after what she's done, I'm going to rip her heart right out her chest, I swear it..."

"Anita's siblings..."Dr Charana said.."Did you confirm they're dead..?"

"They're dead.., John made sure of it..."

"Good.."she said.."All I need to do now is make Anita suffer..."

"How about my balance..?"Vialo ask

"My client hasn't paid.., that stupid crazy girl ruined everything for me...."







******************
With a smile beeming around the presenters face, she revert her gaze towards Samuel once more..."We're almost coming to the end of the show but before that, Mr Samuel what advice do you have for the writers out there.., the writers aspiring to be great like you., what can you tell them..?"

A smile radiates around Samuel's lips, he was tired, angry even but he couldn't show it and it infuriated him, if he knew the presenter was going to ask him stupid questions, he wouldn't have agreed to meet up...

"Well like a wise man once told me, if you're doing something good, just keep doing it until it yields result.., so my advice to aspiring writer out there is to continue doing the good work they're doing, oneday you'll be like me, even greater than me..."

"That's great, me too want to be like you someday..., it's been a great honour having you here Mr Samuel.., indeed we're grateful to have you in our show.."

"My pleasure."Samuel chime in with a smile...

"Well viewers out there, after all said and done, we're finally rounding up the show for today.., thank you all for watching and see you next Friday....."








******************
Taking off his glasses, Samuel threw the gift the presenter had given him in the backseat of the car and slid into the front seat just beside the driver's seat...

"Bunch of idiots.."Samuel cursed before wearing back his glasses..., he look towards his side and see some journalist running towards his car...

"Go go go.."He said to his driver who started the car immediately and drove out of the compound before the journalist could reach them...

As the car tyres swung into the express road, Samuel wind down the car windshield, fresh air flowed into the car bringing in the freshness of the country air, taken enough, Samuel wind up back allowing the AC to do the rest of the job.., the events that transpired between him and Anita find way into his head once more, the thought infuriated him and if he had his way to kill her there, he would have done so, he brood over the dream Festus had told him Success had, what if it came to past that oneday she'll break free from the mental asylum and come straight to him..to kill him..what if she succeed..

He shook his head from the thought, such can never happen to him not with all the money he has accumulated for himself.., he'll ruin her before she thinks of getting revenge on her, he wants her to suffer, to live like life itself has abandon her..., he wants her to be miserable and the only hope she will crave for will be death..nothing but death...

"Speed up..."He said to his driver noticing the car was going too slow, he shift his gaze to his side windshield.., suddenly he heard a sound, the loud sound froze him to a spot.., his muscles, his breathe and everything went on a pause.., then all of a sudden his brain sent a command to his head and that's when he move his head..., his eyes and heart throb with great violence when he saw the splash of blood on the frontscreen of the car..., once again the loud sound vibrated in his ears, he couldn't hear his heart beating but felt the oxygen flooding in and out of his lungs, hesitantly his eyes moved towards the driver's side.., fear torture his guts, churning his stomach in tense cramps when he saw him laying against the car steering with a bullet hole in his head.., he thought it was his head playing pranks on him but when another bullet hit the car side mirror, he snapped out of his thoughts and mold into reality..., someone is trying to kill him...

Fear engulfs his conscience, knocking all other thoughts aside, it overwhelms his body, making it drastically exhausted when he saw another man riding a motorcycle with a gun in his hand..., Samuel's eyes enlarged as different thoughts run in his head and that is when he realise his car was still moving without no one controlling it and the motorbike rider is just beside his car deadly riding alongside him..., when the motorbike rider raised his gun to fire at him again..., Samuel's throat close from threat of screaming.., his feet tremble then it twiched before he found the courage to kick on the accelerator and speedily move the car forward making the fired bullets hit the backseat windshield instead...

Samuel's hands tremble and his eyes water as he reach his hand towards the car steering, when he manage to look at his side again, he saw the rider raising the gun to him again.., fear creep into him but he quivkly snapped out of it, his thoughts speed up and quickly he rotate the car steering towards the rider hitting him with the side of the car but it didn't stop the rider who in turn rode closer to the side of the car leaning the motorbike just on the driver's side...

Samuel saw dark eyes through the rider's helmet, it scared him, scared him to death..., his breathe quickens as his brain picked up his feet in an unbalanced gait, reality tap into it and that was when he opened the driver's side door furiously hitting the rider with it while he controls the steering with the other hand but quickly realise how futile it was when his hand began to soak with the driver's blood, leaving the door open, he pushed the driver out.....

The rider, Amilo Raphayes quickly diverted the motorbike as he dodge the drivers body Samuel pushed on the ground leaving the body to land with a thud on the ground..., realising he was now behind Samuel, he fired more shots at the car but all fired bullets were hitting the front seat open door instead.., anger dawned on him and he quickly sped up......

With shaking hands and unsteady mind, Samuel drove on every lane, he crunched his teeth even harder than he has ever done, salty blood filled his mouth but he didn't care.., when another gunshot hit the front windscreen, he shivered and took a glance back, finding out who's trying to kill him was a total waste of time, surviving is the only option, he quickly look forward only to see another car heading speedily towards them, with shaking hands and unsettled mind, he begin to wonder how he's going to dodge.., when the car drew nearer, he turn the car steering in attempts to dodge the approaching car, the tyres whirl to the right side while Amilo turn his motorbike to the left allowing the speeding and approaching car to pass their middle..., Samuel quickly realise how difficult it was to dodge when the approached car clashed with his open door..., the open door detached from Samuel vehicle and landed with a loud clanking sound on the express road, the approaching car rode over it.., the driver lost his balance and diverted into the bush instead....

Samuel held his breathe, daring not to itter a word, each second seemed to last an eternity as he prays his pursurer will stop chasing him.., he snap out of his thoughts when a bullet hit the side of the car, there he realise his pursuer has caught up with him once again, his breathe quickens as he realise he has no door..., he is driving naķed and a bullet from his pursurer can easily hit him....., he look ahead and an open market just beside the road, with the way he was speeding, people were already running for their life, when he look his pursurer way and saw his gun pointing at him, he knew no matter what the bullet will hit him., he didn't want to take chances and that's when he diverted the car towards the market, he hit the speed breakers and drove over them and drove over every other bum as well...., men, women nd children began to run for safety as he drove in the market scattering and destroying things...., he tried to stop the car but it wasn't stopping, brakes wasn't working, he just continue driving, the tyres driving over tomatoes and other market items, people scream, chickens crows, dogs bark as the car tyres drives without stop...After a while he hit a wall, the force almost hit his nose on the steering but the protective airbag held him back.., what followed was a large smoke from the car bonnet...

Slowly, the angry market men and women began to approach the car.., some carry sticks while others carry whatever their hands can get..., noticing there is no front door, the angry men pulled him out from the car and dragged him on the ground...., for a moment they all stood looking at the blood dripping from his head until one of them hit him with the stick...
"Devil, devil, devil.."A woman shouted at the top of her voice...

"Burn him.."Another angry man screamed ..







******************
From afar, Amilo Raphayes took off his helmet to watch the show, glad by how the market men and women were beating him, he smile and wore his helmet back on, he climbed on his motorbike, start it and rode off....

"I'll be seeing you again bastard.."Amilo mutter before the roaring wind carried the rest of the words away











*****************
"Easy easy.."Henry said as he assist Susan in getting up

Susan grimace and stood well with her good leg and hold the stick Lorenzo had giving her for support...

"You're doing well.."Lorenzo chime in from the door...

Both Henry and Susan raise their gaze to look at him...

A smile should have cheer up Susan but she was past smiling..."Where is my brother...?"She quickly ask..

Lorenzo was about opening his mouth to talk when he heard his name, realising who just called him, he spun around to face the person..

"You need to see this..?"Makopoli, one of Amilo's men said from the door..

Without a reply to Susan, Lorenzo stepped outside with him..., once outside he raise his gaze towards the sky as Makopoli had told him.., shock swept across his face when he saw a drone just above them....

"Give me your gun.."Lorenzo said to makopoli who wasted no time in lending him his gun..

Lorenzo eyes narrowed as he aim the gun towards the drone.., slowly he squeeze his fingers around the trigger, he continue aiming following the movement of the drone, then he pulled the trigger, the bullet flew out the chamber with extreme precision towards the target..., the bullet hit the drone and the drone quickly fell down..

Lorenzo and Makopoli walked towards the place it landed, getting there, Lorenzo picked it up and read the inscription on it before he took out the camera....

"Fùcking special rats.."Lorenzo sneer..









*********************
The IT guys eyes widened as a screen went on total blackout..

"Major.."The IT guy shouted..

Major Lafera quickly turn towards him...

"One of the cameras is out..., I think the drone has been destroyed.."The IT guy said

"Is there any record..?"Major Lafera ask

"Yes.."The IT guy said turning back the screen on.., he rewind the recorded footage of the drone..

"Pause.."Major lafera said..."Zoom it.."

The IT guy did as instructed.., Major Lafera took a closer look at the screen, there he saw the man holding a gun pointing directly at the drone....

"That's Lorenzo..."Major Lafera blare out..."Where is this place...?"

The IT guy turn towards his laptop and began to Google out places that look like the place in the footage.....

"It's outskirt of town.."The IT guy said.. "I can't really find the place..."

"Fùck it.."Major Lafera said crisply...."Call the team.., wherever this area is, I want it scout out, I want every woods searched until this place is found.."

"Should we send out more drones..?"One of the agents ask..

"No.."Major Lafera replied.."They will just keep shooting them down.."

"I found it..."The IT guy stated adjusting his glasses to his eyes..

Major Lafera exahles before he turned to the rest of them..."Call the rest of the team.., I want men all over that area.."

"Roger that sir.. "One of the agents replied..

Major Lafera walked towards the board, then he touch Amilo's picture before he opened his mouth to talk......"Your time is up Amilo Raphayes..."

"Hello viewers out there, welcome once more to today's episode of Single diaries, my name is Kiki, the host and presenter of this lovely show...."She smile, blush even at the camera before she continued..."Today with me, we have a special guest on live with us just as we promised last week.., this week is going to be the bomb, the real deal..."She laugh and continue..."I'm pleased to introduce our potential guest for today's show..."

Samuel manage a smile as the camera was turn to his side.., his fingers grazed the cut Anita's fingers made on his neck, it was now covered with make-up as instructed by him when he got to the show.., he didn't want to show up for the show after his encounter with Anita but he felt he shouldn't miss out on such an opportunity....his enemies are going to die of his wrath and envy....

"Isn't he cute..?"The presenter ask rhetorically.., she laugh and continue....."Majority of the country's population definitely knows who our guest for today is.."She took a pause as the camera shift back to Samuel's side, when it rotate back to her, she continued...."But for those of us who doesn't know him.., I'm pleased to introduce him..., his name is Samuel..., the youngest millionaire I heard, popularly known by his famous story that shake the walls of literature..., if you haven't read the Lores of a woman, you're totally missing out."

Samuel's lips stretched into a smile but he didn't say a word instead he bashed in the accolades......

"Mr Samuel.."The presenter said turning to him.., the camera pictured their two together, a smile surrounded the presenters mouth before she continued.."We're really grateful that you could make it to our show.., what would we have said to the viewers if you had not showed up..."

Samuel's mouth twitched...."Actually I almost cancelled.."

"But you didn't.."The presenter said..."And we're honoured by that fact.."

Samuel scoffs.."Thank you.."

"Well Mr Samuel you're on live TV.."The presenter said

Samuel's dimples crinkles showing the way his teeth are perfectly aligned.....

"And right now.."The presenter continue..."Thousands of people are watching..., what do you feel about that Mr Samuel..?"

For a second, Samuel kept mute as he perfectly thought his words through...

"Well this isn't my first time on been on national TV..., so I'm not nervous.., I'm just..."He nibbed before adding...."Relaxed.."

"Relaxed..!"The presenter reiterates..."That's the energy we need now..."

"Mm-mmm.."Samuel mutter with nibbed lips

"Everyone knows you booked a flight through your fabulous story, the lores of a woman, and the plane landed on the right place.., how did you feel when you were announce the winner among many...?"

Samuel took a deep breathe, that very moment a phone call came and the good news was delivered to him came vividly in his head.....

"To say the least I was overjoyed.."Samuel said...."I never really expected it..."

"I'll die with joy if it were me.."The presenter said before she rumbled in laughter..."The lead character in your story.., Tamara, you have no idea how many women you influenced with that character.., so many women orientation changed.., people couldn't stop talking about it...."

"Yeah, I heard so.."

"The story is wonderful."The presenter said....."How long have you been writing stories...?"

"Since when I was little...."Samuel said...."I started with drawing images and dialogue them with a chat box...."

"So what was it like.., did you face challages along the way.., did you get discouraged to the extent that you were like..., fuçk it, I'm never writing again.."

Samuel sigh as words formulate in his head..."There were so many discouragement along the way..., even from my own parent, peer group was worse.., those childhood friends of mine never believed in my dream..."

"They didn't know your dream was going to become a reality.."The presenter said and laugh again...

"No one believed in me.."Samuel said.."I can remember the day my father told me i wouldn't make any good money from writing.., his reasons were, Nigerians don't read books, if you're going to take writing as your hobby.., you're just wasting your time.., my dad actually told me to become a politician, according to him, that's where the money is...."

"Guess he was wrong after all.."The presenter said..

"Surely he was.."

"A few months back, a video pop up on social media, this girl who called herself Anita claims you stole the story from her..., what was your reaction to this...?"

Samuel almost frown at the statement, then he realise he's on live TV., even if he hates Anita, he doesn't have to show it.."Well at first I didn't do anything, I mean judging from the fact that people always tend to bring people like me down..."

"So she was lying...?"

"Of course she was lying..."

"But she did say the story is on nairaland titled as Tamara, the head character in your story..., many people affirm the truth and it caused serious commotion on social media.., different trends began popping up, some say she was telling the truth, others called her a liar..., what did you do when you heard these things...., how did you manage such publicity...?"

Samuel waited as he thought his next words through.., he took a sigh before he opened his mouth to talk.."Well I came to understand that such publicity tends to be synonymous with celebrities..., like a gentleman, I kept my cool..."

"Many said you got her arrested Mr Samuel..., was that true..?"

"Yes.."Samuel replied immediately..."I'm a human and as one I'm prone to commit mistakes..., when the talk was too much, I had to do something, so I got her arrested but I got her released the next day when I realise she wasn't worth it, I even offer her a little money out of the kindness of my heart to which she took.., she later apologise to me in private for creating such cheap publicity..."

"No wonder we haven't heard from her in a while..."

"Yeah me too..."










*****************
Mr Smith scoffs as he watch the single diary show.., he quickly brood over the day they had invited Anita to the company so she could verify her claims, she had run mad that day while Samuel took the glory...

"You lying son of a bitch.."Mr Smith said before reverting his gaze to file on the table, he was about picking the file up when his office door open..., he lifted his gaze towards the door and stood up noticing it was one of the top board member in the company..

"Mr Vasu...."Mr Smith said with a smile circling his lips..., the smile quickly disappeared when Mr Vasu dropped his ipad on the table...

"What is this Smith...?"Mr Vasu said pointing at the tweet on the ipad....."What is this rubbish this lady tweet..?"

Mr Smith eyes enlarged when he read the tweet...

"What rubbish does this girl mean..?"Mr Vasu queried.."She said that dead nurse Titi came here the same day she went missing.., and people are saying here was the last place she entered...."

Mr Smith swallowed, he had told his man to handle it and he promised him what happened to nurse Titi won't blow up..

"And don't even try to deny it.."Mr Vasu said.."I've asked around, people saw her entered your office...., do you mind telling me why people think the company is involved in what happened to her....?"

Mr Smith hissed silently and sat down back on the chair..."She did came here.., we had a little chat and then she left.."

"Do you mind telling me what you discussed in this little chat..?"

"She was looking for a job..., we had none to offer her.. "

"This tweet is bad for us Smith..."

"It's social media.., people will always say things..."

"Well publish something to fix it back.."Mr Vasu stated..."The CEO is already getting nerve by this and if this tweet continues spreading, people are going to start asking questions and it's not good for business..."

"Fine...."Mr Smith said picking up his pen.."I'll fix it.."

"Fix it well and fix it fast.."Mr Vasu said, pick up his ipad and left the office loudly slamming the door behind him...

Mr Smith brows furrowed and quickly he pick up the intercom to call his secretary...

"Hello sir.. "His secretary voice came up..

"The next time you allow someone into my office without notifying me, will be the last day you work here.. "Mr Smith said harshly and drop the intercom before the secretary could reply...

He turn his gaze to the TV once more.., Samuel's lies infuriated him more, annoyed, he pick up the remote and turn off the TV....

"Fùcking bastard.."He sneer..







*******************
He threw the last of the chewing gum in his mouth before he took his eyes from the supermarket TV and walked outside, he took his phone out and dialled a number.....

"Code.."A voice sounded from the other end

"Woe unto you, you hypocrites.."He said

There was silence before the receiver's voice came again.."What is it Cadex..?"

"The fool is on Live TV...."He said...."They call the show single diaries.., he's saying so much nonsense....."

EPISODE 49
EPISODE TITLE-Drums of war..(PART D)








The morning sun poured through the cracks in the woods and awaited entrance into Susan's eyes. Sight still in the clutches of the night's glue, she hesitantly rubbed the dreams away. Thoughts of the visions in sleep come and go in waves, clinging on to the very last memory of the night but with little success....., she blink and lazily sit up, waking up is no longer the pleasure it was, her lids that were drooping and leaden with sleep snap open as violently as if she'd been woken by the raid sirens wailing.....

"Hey..."

When she turn her head towards the direction of the voice, her brain become overwhelmed all over again as if it were all new, fresh, raw and she wish she could linger in that blissful ignorance of waking or else never sleep......

The sudden reminder of Styles death came vividly clear like a movie in her head when she notice the expression in Henry's face wasn't the smiling one he always had when she wakes up to see him.., he was sad, depressed even.....

"Did you sleep well...?"Henry ask, his voice rumbling low than he anticipated..

Susan sigh.., for a moment she just sat looking at him.., his eyes were sunken inside and she wonder if he slept at all...., she wanted to ask but the thoughts of his friend dying was taunting.., anyone who had bear such loss surely will deprives himself of any sleep.....

"Did you..?"She ask instead.. realising asking back is more simpler than replying...

The question echoe in his head, how could he possibly sleep.., the thoughts of her and his dead friend surely had wash off every ounce of sleep he could have had, even when he drift off the trauma to his brain, he realises it's worse than being awake..., in such few days, his brain had become a violent whirl of thoughts....

"I'm sorry..."Susan mutter lowering her head..., she could have cried but last night with her brother reminded her crying was such a waste of time, a pack of salt to an already open wound..., it solves nothing but brings tumultuous fuelled sadness....

"You don't have to.."Henry said, the corners of his mouth twitching with a frown...."What is done is done.."

Susan didn't say anything, didn't know what to say.., she fear whatever she utter from her mouth will remind him more of Styles, he probably blames her already for his death, it's her fault, if she hadn't dragged him into her business....non of everything would have happened...

"Why didn't you tell me you had a brother..?"Henry ask folding his hands...

The corners of Susan's mouth quirk up at the question.., surely she have lots of explanation to do, he saved her life not just once but many times.., the least she could do is explain to him why she never told him....

She took a deep breathe and look up to face him..."I cut off ties with him..."She said brooding over the past events, she remenber the day she had told Amilo to choose between her and the path he took..., he chose the criminal life and that day she sever every ties with him..atleast that's what she thought.......

"If you did that.."He pause, his lips turning up at the next statement....."Why are you here..?"

She never wanted to be where she is, situations called for it.....

"Desperate times calls for desperate measures.."She said remembering the phone she made to him..., if Samuel hadn't pushed her to the angle she could no longer breathe., she would have stick to her words...

"So you called him..?"He ask

She look away, hesitated a bit before she revert her gaze back to him.."Yes i did..."

"Why didn't you tell me..?"He ask

"Tell you what..?"She ask taking off the cloth she was covered with..

A muscle in his jaw twiched showing his contempt in her reply...."Tell me you called him.."

"I didn't think it was necessary..."She said lowering her gaze once again...

"How could you possibly think that Susan.., we've been on this together..."

"I'm sorry okay..."She chime in as that painful moment Styles was shot evaded her head....."I'm sorry I didn't tell you I had a brother and I'm sorry I didn't tell you I called him..."

"Amilo Raphayes is a wanted criminal, do you even know that...?"Henry blare out but when Susan suddenly change her expression, he realise the words came out wrong........
"I mean.....

"I know what you mean.."Susan cut in....

Henry swallowed forcefully...."Look, I didn't mean it that way but what if the police starts looking for him here..., you'll be in trouble..."

"That's why I sever all ties with him in the beginning but now, he's only person capable of doing what you and I are unable to do.."

"And what exactly is that..?"

"Killing Samuel..."

Henry grit, spun around before turning to face her again..."You're not a killer..."

"I know..."She said.."My brother is.."

"What difference does it make if he's the one who pulled the trigger..., you ordered it, that guilt will never leave your chest..."

"Do I even want it to..?"She ask looking up at him....."Look at me.., that bastard destroyed my life, my dreams...

"You can still achieve your dreams.."

"As a cripple..?"She queried angrily....."That bastard deserves the back of every coin he has given to me..., his folds will be double.."

"It's not who you are Susan.."

"It is who I am.."She fling back infuriated..."This is who I have become..."

"This is what Samuel wants..., to throw your life away and....

"My life has already been thrown away.., I'm just living with the mere pieces of it..., Samuel will get his turn..."

"This isn't you.."

She look away wondering why he could be so patient..so humble...."He has wronged us in every way.."

"It's not in our hands to pay him back.."

"Whose hands then...?"She fling back with angry eyes...."He's the reason why you had to leave your house, he's the reason your friend is dead.., he's the reason I'm on a wheelchair..."she pause as she try to fight back the tears but her attempts fail, once more the tears she had sworn not to shed began to drop from her eyes....."He's the reason we're here....., he deserves everything he's going to get..."

She's right, he knows that for a fact, but killing him and becoming a murderer is more than what his conscience can bear and he do not need that for her....

"Good morning..."A voice chime in from behind them..

Henry spun around to see Lorenzo with two packs of food in his hand..., after a deep stare between the two of them, he watch as Lorenzo drew nearer....

"Did you sleep well...?"Lorenzo ask

Susan quickly wipe off the tears from her eyes and struggle to shift her back to the edge of the wood despite the pains erupting from her legs...

"You should eat something..."Lorenzo said handling her one pack of food.., he look at Henry and extended the other to him...

"Thank you but I don't need it..."Henry replied, his brows knitting with the words.

"You should eat something too..."Lorenzo said withdrawing his hand...

"I will.."Henry replied with a cringe at Susan.."I'm going to town first..., I want to know what they're saying about my friend.."

Susan looked Henry's way but didn't say a word..

"You mean your dead friend....?"

Henry didn't reply, instead he looked Susan's way again and he wonder how she could be so comfortable......

"The police found his body.."Lorenzo added..."The news about his death is on all TV stations and newspapers..."

Henry would have felt relief by the revelation but for a thing he didn't.., the fact that he's the reason Styles die will probably hunt him forever......

"I still need to go myself..."Henry said

"You can't leave this place..."Lorenzo said.

Henry frown at the words...."I don't think you seen to understand what I mean."

"And I don't think you seem to understand what I mean.."Lorenzo reiterates...."You cannot leave this place.."

"Why is that..?"Susan ask immediately...."Why can't him leave..?"

"We don't know what he'll say to people out there.."Lorenzo said barely looking at Susan...."We can't risk anyone knowing about our location..."

"You think I'm going to tell people you're here.."

"Even among us there is a rat.."Lorenzo said with furrowed brows...."The stranger can be a snitch as well.."

"He won't do that.."Susan said with a cringe at Henry...

"Why would I even do that..?"Henry ask with shrugged shoulders........

"You cannot leave..."Lorenzo said

"Hold on..."Henry said..."Am I in danger here...?"

"Depends on your definition of danger..."

"No you're not..."Susan cut in...."Lorenzo he isn't going to tell anyone.."

"You don't know that Susan..."

"I know him.."Said Susan...."He won't do that.."

Lorenzo fix Henry in a deep stare before words muff out from his mouth..."Fine.., but one of the men will have to follow him.., just incase he choose to do something stupid...."

Susan's gaze moved from Lorenzo to Henry and to Lorenzo again...

"Fine.."Henry concur....."Since you don't trust me, have one of your men follow me..."

"Fine.."Lorenzo said dropping the other plate of food beside Susan......"Incase you changed your mind.., the food is here...."
