DAY 5






Lawrence sat so still, eyes following the bird in flight. he watches as children do, with that look of love and awe. His eyes stay with the bird, the beating wings capturing his mind in the most calming of ways, the same way soft waves on the beach do. It's as if he's in love with nature, with life itself.., but then the awful thoughts came pushing the good ones out.., flashes of been shot at slimming it's way in his vision...

"Is it true you're a prince...?"

Lawrence tun his gaze with the alertness of the question to face the little boy, so sweet and gentle.., his childhood days was nothing compare to the life the boy was living...., his childhood was a picture of terror, having to face the brutal aspect of life..

"You don't have to answer him..."Liza cut in jolting Lawrence from his thoughts..."He asks too many questions...., I've learnt to ignore him whenever he throws his annoying questions at me..."

"My questions are not annoying.."Rick blare out..

Lawrence smile slipped when he noticed Rick expression was slowly transiting into a frown..., the boy reminds him of himself when he was his age.., he was so curious about many things after been exposed to such a life that doesn't befits a kid...

"Yes they are.."Liza said, voice clipped..."What kid asked his mother what loves means at 5...?"

Lawrence raised his brow at the revelation....

"I'm 8 now.."Rick returned sharply...."So you should stop treating me like a kid."

"You're 7.."Liza fling back tilting her head forward..

Lawrence sigh and touch his jaw as he watch the sister and brother argue with serious expression...

"Going to 8..."Rick replied...."And that's almost 18.."

Liza scoffs before turning her gaze to her phone..."In dog's years"

Rick frown and turn to face Lawrence..."She treats me like a kid, everyone treats me like a kid.."

"That's because you're a kid.."Liza said back once again turning her expression to him....

"I won't be a kid if I actually have friends of my own size that I talk to..."

Liza rolled her eyes and settled them on her phone....

"You don't have friends..?"Lawrence asked curiously when Rick smouldered back into his angry look....

"Mum doesn't let us go out..."Liza chime in and Lawrence quickly understand the reason behind it.., their mother is scared of loosing them.., with their war against the Godfather, family is the ultimate target....

"We don't even go to school..."Rick blare out bitterly...

"Rick....."Liza dragged the name between her teeth..."You don't have to tell him everything..."

Lawrence smile slip..."It's okay.."

Liza sigh..."We have home teachers..."

Lawrence suck his teeth....."Your mother must have reason for doing so.."

"She does..."Liza said awkwardly and quickly lour her eyes to her phone...

"Do you love my aunt..."Rick asked, voice smooth and cheerful

Lawrence widened his eyes in stunned surprise...

"I told you.."Liza chided..."All he talks about is love like he knows something about love.."

Lawrence chuckle at Liza words, then he glanced over at Rick who was staring at him impatiently for his question to be answered...., does he love her.., could what he feels for her be called love, he feel drawn to her and find himself thinking about her so often..., the last time he felt this way about anyone was 4years ago..., he had met this pretty girl during a workout, she was stunning in every ramifications..., he found himself stealing glances from her but never got a chance to talk to her during and after the workout session..., then they met again on another fateful day.., when she spoke to him.., her voice melt every large wall inside him.., she was cheerful.., the kind of girl any man will dream of having..., for weeks they were seeing each other but their conversations was always casual..., until he decided to delve into her personal life....

"Are you single..?"He had asked her

She was quiet for a while making he wonder if he had asked something he shouldn't have...

"It's complicated..."She had told him...

Her odd reply was the beginning of complicating thoughts on his heart..., he liked the girl.., every fibre in him was enough to know he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her...

He didn't want to go further with the questions but with the way his heart was beating then.., he knew he needed to ease the tension in him...

"How so..?"He had ask her

He watch her drop the ostrich chips and reclined her back on the chair.., like he had just pushed her into thoughts she had kept locked faraway in her chest and never want to unlock the memories...

"I have a husband..."She had said and it broke his heart....

"Do you..?"Rick crowled jolting him from his thoughts

He heaved a deep sigh and look at the boy's face..., he was so innocent and curious..., he was that way in his childhood days.., wanting to know things.., sometimes his mother just ignore him and chase him off and when he attempts to ask his father.., he sits him down and start telling him how to be a good king....

"You have to make the people fear you..."His father had said to him when he was small...., and he always tends to emphasized on the fear.....

"It's complicated.."He said to Rick who was kinling for a reply

"Complicated...!."Rick said with shrugged shoulders...."What does that mean..?"

"It means it's difficult to understand..."Liza chimes in..."And at your level, I doubt you'll understand..."

"You all are having fun....."

The children spun around to see their mother....
"Mum thank God you're here..."Liza said...

"Mm..."Claude mutter with a smile..."Did I miss something....?"

"Not at all.."Lawrence jump in ....."Actually I was just having a conversation with your son..."

"Mm-hmm...."Claude mutter..."I do hope he isn't asking too much questions..."

"Trust me mum.."Liza cut in.."Rick's mouth is like the size of a bucket..."

Claude smile slipped..."Liza why don't you take your brother in.., I'll love to speak to our guest"

Liza brows flutter before she hesitantly stood up..
"Let's go loud mouth.."She said to Rick

"I'm not a loud mouth.."Rick said after before dragging his feet to follow her..

"You're doing well with the kids..."Claude said reverting her gaze from her children to Lawrence....

Lawrence nibbed..."My sister and I were the same..., we fight almost over everything.."

Claude laugh...."When I was pregnant with Rick.., Liza couldn't take her hands from my stomach..., she was always praying I have him sooner.., and now that he's out..., I can't get enough of their quarrels.."

Lawrence chuckle knowing he did same when his mother was pregnant with Maria...."He did mention they aren't going to school..., could your fight with the Godfather be the reason..?"

Claude heaved a deep sigh and glance back to see if her children were out of sight..."He is.."She said returning her gaze to him..."Rick will understand better when he grows up.."

Lawrence jiggle over the words..., his mother had always told him he'll understand better when he comes of age whenever his father scolds him on why he needs to be feared by the people.....

"Miranda said you were once married to a king..."

Claude exhale.., lour her head and raise it back to face him..."I was...., you see my father and I didn't really have the kind of special relationship between a father and daughter...I hated him for controlling and dictating my life..., he sold me to the prince of Akpatu just for power..."

His jaw twitches as he thought about how his father always takes charge of his action..., he did everything to satisfy his father when he small.., many against his wish but fear his father may use the iron hand on him, he did them regardless...., he remenber the harmless bird his mother has bought him on his 5th year birthday...., the bird stayed with him, he plays and talks to it even though the bird never said anything back.., for once in his life he felt he had a friend who cared despite not been a human...., but his joy was shortlived when his father ordered him to kill the bird..., asking why wasn't a question anyone dare to ask..., when the king says something...you do it without questions...
He cried as he hold the harmless bird and squeezed it's neck until it was lifeless...

"I heard stories about Akpatu..."He said leaning his head forward..."About how the prince parent were killed and he came back for revenge.."

"The prince name is Pious..., and the man who killed his parent was the father of the king I got married to.."

His forehead creased in stunned surprise...."Your father forced you to marry him knowing his father killed the late king..."

"My father didn't know, and I can't say he forced me..., first that was the case but then I realised I had to marry him to find the truth about what happened to the late king..., and I was digging so deep until Pious returned and joined in the war..."

"Pious..., I heard he succeeded in destroying every chief that had a hand in his parent death..."

"He did..., but I wasn't there to watch all of it happen..., I left and came back here when my husband died..."

"You came back to the same man who orchestrated the plan behind you getting married to that chief son..."

Claude sniffle and continue..."You see years ago I severe all ties with my father thinking he killed the man I use to see..., his name was Rick..., and he's the only man I've truly loved.., we were going to run away together until we were caught and he was shot dead right there in front of me..."

"Oh God.., I'm sorry.., that must have been so painful and traumatizing...."

"It was.."She said..."But then it made me stronger, and that was another reason I agree to get marry to the chief's son despite suspecting his father had a hand in what happened to the late king..., I wanted to be stronger.., powerful..., but then I had to leave it all when I find out he was the one who actually ordered the dead of Rick and not my father as I always thought...., I came back here to apologise to my father for blaming him.., for not listening even when he was trying to tell me the truth..."

Lawrence nib on his bottom lips dwelling on the thoughts that him too had to leave after been exposed to sorts of inhuman activities courtesy of his father who didn't leave any stone untouched in making sure he becomes like him....

His mother fear he was gradually becoming the man his father wanted so she had to convince his father that sending him abroad to learn more about what politics entail and having the knowledge of the white man will help him more in becoming a king that his father wants...

It wasn't easy convincing his fathet before he finally agreed to it..., and that was his freedom.., how he escaped the cruel clutches of his father and deadly teaches.....

"So how does the Godfather come into all this..?"He asked curiously

He watch as she drew her lips into a snarl and he wonders if he just asked the wrong question..

"Four years ago..."She said, voice gentle and casual unlike what he expects...."A man came to my father with a business proposal...., after much thoughts about it I realised the deal won't be favourable to us in the future so I asked my father to decline the proposal the man was making..., my father did, then weeks passed and then months and then one day we were just sitting here like we doing now when a woman ran to us crying that her son has been killed..., we investigated who could have killed her son in such a brutal way... , we couldn't find any answers and that was how the killings continue only for us to realised the killings were a consequence for a deal we rejected......"She bit her lower lip before she continued.."My father sent out scouts to search for these killers..., my father sent 10 men and only one returned injured beyond cause but he was left alive to deliver a message...., and that was the first day we heard about the Godfather...., he told us...we're paying for our disobedience, that the only way to stop the killing is if my father step out from the throne....., so says the Godfather...."

Her words surged up the rage inside Lawrence but he kept it contain and listen as she continues....

"A week later.., he brought war to our doorstep.., I saw a glance of his face when he killed my father.., I couldn't see his entire face because he was wearing a mask.., he defeated us and for once in my life, I felt death crippling all over me...."

"If he won.., why didn't he take the throne...?"

"I don't know..., but I remembered his words very clear..., he said a promise has to be fulfilled..."

"What promise...?"Lawrence asked anxiously

"I don't know...."

"So he said that to you...?"Lawrence asked

"He said that to Miranda...."

Shock raced across Lawrence face...."Miranda..!"

Claude nodded....."And when I think about it..., i think Miranda is the reason he spared the rest of us and didn't take the throne"

"Does he know Miranda...?"Lawrence asked anxiously

Claude inhale deeply...."I don't know..."

"Your majesty..."

Claude spun around to see the person...

"I need to talk to you..."Capisho said with a cringe at Lawrence...

Claude gave Lawrence a side smile before standing up to follow Capsiho to a corner where Lawrence wont hear their conversation

"What is it..?"Claude asked...

"I think Miranda left...."Capisho said handling her a paper..."I saw this paper in her room when I went there..."

Claude heart fluttered as she read the words in the paper...

"Do she think she's gone after the Godfather....?"Capisho asked

Claude swallowed dryly...."That stupid girl.., I told her not to go..."

"Should i go after her...?"

"No..."Claude replied sharply...."She made her choice..,I told her not to go but she did.., whatever happens to her, she's on her own..."









*******************
Miranda look both sides of the road in search of anything that could be danger, when she saw none.., she pull down her jacket hood from her head and zip her back bag open.., she took out the pistol and check the bullets.., she dropped it back on the bag and took out the picture, she glance at it for a while and dropped it..then she zipped the bag and hung it around her two shoulder..., she's going to find the Godfather, then she's going to say the words he once said to her right back to his face before she shoots him....A promise has to be fulfilled

EPISODE 32
EPISODE TITLE- No one can take what belong to us







With the picture in her hand, she head towards the throne room..., her mother's words replay in her head over and over...., growing up been the only daughter was like an everyday nightmare to her.., everyday she had lived her life creating ways in her head on how she can be a better daughter to her parent..., she would have proven she was a better daughter, the daughter they want her to be, they were happy, living well until he came along and took away every happiness they ever shared...

"I want to talk to you.."She said sharply the moment she got to where Claude was...

Claude glance at her, then she lowered her gaze to her son..."Go to your sister Rick.., I'll be with you soon..."

"Hi Aunt.."Rick mutter lightly walking past her to his sister's room...

Claude sigh and shift her gaze to Miranda when Rick was out of sight...."You don't look good..."

She doesn't look good, she knows that, everything she has been through is enough to make her not look good...."I want to go to Saruza...."She stated sharply...

Surprise rose on Claude forehead.."What for..?"

Miranda walk closer to her and handed her the picture...."I need to find that man.."

Claude glance at the picture before raising her gaze to her...."Miranda you cannot go there.."

"I have to.., he's the only one that can help me.."

"Help you do what...?"

"Find the Godfather and avenge my parent dead.., your father's dead.."

Claude grit..."How do you know this man will help you..?"

"I don't know.., my mother gave that picture to me before she died.., she told me if I needed help, I should go to him.."

"Did she also tell you he lives in Saruza..?"

"Yes..."

Claude sigh, look heavenward and reverts her gaze to her again...."You cant go there.."

"I need to..."

"Miranda your mother gave you this picture before she died..., that was years ago..., you don't even know if this man is still alive.."

"Well that's something I need to find out.."

"You cannot go there.."Claude cut in sharply

Miranda frown at the words, if her mother told her the man can help in her time of needs.., she must certainly have a reason for saying that., and that's something she wants to know, why her mother trust him so much to hand her to him....

"Why..?"She chided folding her hands across her chest..

Claude grunts.."You know why..."

"If you're scared I'll be harm in anyway by the Godfather...

"It's not about that....."

"Then what is it about..?"She riposte sharply...

Claude exhale and step backward..."You're not going, that's final..."

"If this man can help me, we'll be bringing the Godfather down..."

"We'll bring the Godfather down in other ways.."

"You know there's no other way.."

"Then we forget about it..."Claude fling back sharply...."Look around you.., the reason why we are short of security is because the Godfather killed them all..., we cannot win over him Miranda, it's time we accept our fate and move on.."

Miranda drew closer to her.., her face smouldering with resentment..."You're forgetting this man killed your father..."

"And I've lost countless lives trying to avenge his death... , no more Miranda.., I'm loosing no one else for a battle we are never going to win.."

"Aren't you optimistic...

"There's no hope Miranda.."Claude cut in..."If we continue fighting him, he will keep winning and we'll keep loosing innocent lives because of our selfish need for revenge....., I'm done fighting...."

Miranda step backward..., her mind brooding over the fury for revenge that once burnt in Claude's eyes..., she's sounding like a different person now.., scared.....

"Where is that fire that you had.."Miranda said..."That fire for revenge that was unquenchable..."

"How many of our good men do you think have died for this revenge..?"Claude queried with curled lips..."Samuel, Jess, Fedrick, Kelso, Emmanuel, white, Frendy, Tario, Moses, Zilaco, Zach.., they've all died because we wanted revenge....,., that fire that was once in me, it died too..., I'm tired of piling up names of dead men in my head..., every night their soul cry out to me, because we use them..., it wasn't the Godfather who killed them, we did..., enough Miranda..., enough.."

Miranda bit her lips at the change in Claude...., the fire inside her was still burning and nothing but the dead of the person who set it can quench it...., she step closer and took the picture of Claude hands...

"You may have forgotten what he did to your father..."Miranda said, rage licking through her..."But I'll never forget what he did to mine..."

Claude swallowed forcefully and watch Miranda as she walk away until she disappeared out of sight..






********************
"Chief Miguel...."Ikoro said coming out from his room....

"I must confess..."Chief Miguel said.."This house is quite large for a chief priest to live in, don't you think so...?"

"Please Miguel..., don't tell me chief priest ought to live in huts or any other damaged place...."

"Then how do you communicate with the gods when you live here with air conditions...?"

"The gods and I live here..., even the gods needs to enjoy..."

Miguel nibbed...."The gods live here with you.., with all this air conditions and cameras....?"

"Why are you here chief Miguel..?"Ikoro cut in irritated with his line of question....

"I've come to make you a proposal..."Miguel said adjusting his sitting position

"A proposal...!.., what could it be...?"

"You must have seen the news..."

"About the king been alive.....?"

"Yes..."

Ikoro scoffs..."That's nonsense, the king is dead..., death men don't come back to the living.."

"Exactly...."Miguel said..."I think the one behind this false news is Tiger..."

"Why would she do that...?"

"I don't know yet, but if it's her, it certainly means she's defiling the king's name..."

"Defiling the kings name..., there's nothing like defiling the kings name..., a dead man is a dead man, defiled or not..."

"Exactly where I want you to come in..."Miguel said, take a briefcase from the chair, opened it and toss bunches of money on the table...

Ikoro eyes widened the moment he saw the money....

"All these money and more will be yours if you grant my humble request.."

Ikoro jut his chin and cross hiss legs...."And what is your humble request...?"

"I want my son to be king Ikoro..., you gave the queen seven days ultimatum for the prince to return and today is day 4...., but now that the king is been rumoured to be alive, we can practicalized on this opportunity to reduce the days from seven to five..."

"Seven to five.., how exactly....?"

"You'll demand to see the kings body.., and if the body is there, you'll accuse Tiger of defiling the kings name and defiling the kings name comes with consequences and the consequences shall be the reduction of the days initially given for her son to return....."

"And if the kings body is not there..?"

"If the body is not there, that will make the task simple.., it simply means she started the rumour of the king been alive....."

"And if she denies knowing anything about the news...?"

"That's exactly why I came to you Ikoro.., you are the eyes of the gods, whatever you say the people will believe, you'll tell her the gods revealed to you she started the news..., so whichever way it waves..., she's trapped.., the only thing that will save her is if the king shows up and that's impossible because the king is dead..."








*******************
Maria gasp for breathe as she try to wring her hands from the rope..., she swallowed dryly as her mother's revelation played on her head.....
She raise her gaze to the door when it open.., she lour her face and raise it back to face her mother who immediately closed the door....

Tiger glared at her before she move closer to her and quickly grabbed her jaw...

Maria gasped for breathe as her grasped tightened on her..

Tiger sneer and let go of her...."You stupid girl..."

Fury hit Maria but she kept it contained.....

"Killing your own father..., what sort of a daughter are you..?"

"Oh please mum..."She fling back irritated with her mother choice of words...."We both know you've always wanted father dead.., just because you couldn't do it doesn't mean you aren't happy he's dead..."

"Oh I see...."Tiger chided, a mirthless smile playing on her lips..."She killed her own father and act the choiceless one..."

"I regret killing him okay.."She fling back infuriated..."But he's dead now and there's absolutely nothing any of us can do about it..."

"No..., not any of us, only you..., you haven't regretted Well enough dear..., because every miserable day of your life, you're going to regret ever killing your father..."

"Mum please.., you know very well I don't give a damn about that tyrant..., I need food, I'm done talking about him.."

"Food.."Tiger resounds before a taunting smile surround her lips...."Oh dear, if you think you're going to eat for the next two months then you're more stupid than I thought.."

"Two months..., I'll die"

"Then die.."

Maria scoffs..."You don't mean that..."

"Oh dear, I mean every bit of it....,I'm going to watch you as the worms tear every intestine inside you.., you're going to feel the pain your father felt when he was struggling with the poison you gave him..."

"This isn't funny mum.."

The words roused Tiger's anger and she immediately grab her hair and brusquely pulled her head back...

Maria gasp as pain pricked every part of her...

"You think killing your father was funny...?"Tiger snarled...."Watching your father cough and pour out blood in front of those chiefs was funny...., you're the reason your brother is out there running for his life, we don't even know where he is, we don't know if he's dead or still alive... , if you haven't killed your father, none of these things will be happening..."

"Queen Tiger.."A voice chime in from behind the door..

Infuriated, Tiger let go of her hair but kept her furious gaze on her...

"Queen Tiger..."

"What..?"She yelled when the voice came again...

The door open and Sulieman walked in...

"What is it..?"Tiger queried turning to face him

"Ikoro and chief Miguel are here..."

"What do they want...?"

Sulieman sigh before letting the words out..."They're demanding to see the kings body.."

Horror crept from the pit of Tiger's stomach......

"It's going to be a problem.."Sulieman added








*******************
A vortex of anger swirled inside Tiger as she approach Miguel and Ikoro..., for a moment, they stood across each other glaring at theirsleves..., their eyes delivering the message even before their mouth open to talk....

"I heard the king is still alive .."Ikoro begin breaking the silence between them...."Still..,we haven't seen him, aren't that a bit strange..?"

Tiger draw in a smile and move closer to him.., Ikoro sure knows how to play mind games..., she have tricks of her own too....

"Indeed it's strange.."She replied...."I was more than shock to hear the news.., I mean who could believe it, the king is still alive and I've been asking myself the exact question..., why isn't he here yet..."

"Of course..."Ikoro jump in..."That's a question we ought to ask but who else should know the answer to this question if not the queen.."

"Well this queen certainly know nothing..."

"Of course..., the king is declared alive on national TV and no one in the palace knows nothing about it..."

Tiger raise her brow but didn't say anything...

"We want to see the king's body.. "Chief Miguel cut impatiently....

"The king body is in a sacred place, it shouldn't be disturbed until it's buried..."Tiger riposte

"Not when it's the chief priest who demands to see it.."Ikoro said

She turn her furious gaze to Ikoro..."The law applies to everyone, including the chief priest.."

"You really don't know the customs of our land..."Ikoro said...."When a dead king is rumoured to be alive again..., it's the people's right to be certain of the truth..., and by been certain.., it means checking if the body of the king is still dead or breathing again...."

"And if the kings body is there....?"Tiger asked

Ikoro scoffs.."If the Kings body is there but still dead then we'll know the rumour is a lie and the perpetrators will suffer the consequences..."

"And if the kings body is not there...?"She ask anxiously

"Then we'll assume you know something about it or perhaps you started a lie and hid the body to hide away the evidence..."

"So either way, there's consequences....?"

"Where is the king's body Tiger...?"Ikoro asked with all form of seriousness

Berseck hit Tiger's stomach as she move her gaze from Ikoro to Miguel whose chin was curving with smile..., then to Sulieman..."I'm sorry you cannot see the king..."

"If you refuse us this demand..."Ikoro said....."We'll assume you're the perpetrator of this lie and you'll pay dearly for it..."

"And what is the consequences...?"Tiger queried...

"Your son will never ascend the throne.., and sucessorship will be shift from your lineage to another right this moment.."

Tiger gawked her teeth, rage burning in her eyes..."I see what this is all about..., this is just your plan to stop my son from succeeding his father's throne..."

"So you're indeed the perpetrator of this lie...."

"I'm not..."She replied sharply

"Then show us the king's body..."

Tiger heaved a deep sigh of anger..."Alright then...., I'll take you to see the king's body..."

A taunting smile surround Ikoro lips seething Tiger with rage.., when she turned to walk away, they followed her.., she could hear them muttering words to themselves like they've won...

Her heart pounded heavily as they walk along the hallway leading to the room the king's body was kept.., her mind brood over Ikoro's words, this was just a plan to stop her son from stepping on the throne...

She stood and quickly spun around to face them when they got to the room door...

"Open it...."Ikoro said...

Tiger's fingers trembled making her turn around before they noticed she was trembling....

"Open the door...."Ikoro commanded

Heart pulsating, she glance back at Iroko then Miguel before settling them on Sulieman who shook his head motioning her not to do it...if she does...it's all over, everything she has planned and have been fighting for will find it's way to hell....

When Iroko stepped towards her, it triggered her anger and she immediately hold the door knob and pulled it down...., it didn't take a second before the door sprung wide open....

Shocked raced across their faces when they saw the person sitting on a chair inside.....

The sight sent Iroko and Miguel staggering back.., their heart racing with tremendous speed....

"Impossible...."Ikoro mutter as he stare at the king's face.....

"Your majesty...."Miguel blare out with pants breathe...."You're alive..."

He raised his hand and Sulieman stepped in his front....

"The king wants you to leave...."Sulieman said to them..."He's not in the mood to talk.., he needs his rest..."

Shock crippled Miguel for a moment as he stare at the king's face, he wore his royal attire and in his hand was the staff of authority...

"The king doesn't want to be disturbed...."Sulieman added before closing the room door...

Nostrils flaring, Tiger spun around to face them...."The next time you accuse me of spreading lies...., I'll react differently...."

Ikoro glare at her before he walk away furiously, Miguel shamefully walking behind him....

Sulieman followed them to make sure they were out of the palace before he ran back to queen Tiger...."I don't understand.."He said..."I thought you said the rumour was a lie..., the king is supposed to be dead..., who's is sitting there...?"

Tiger motioned one of the AS squad guard to open the door.., when the thug did.., they walk into the room....

"It's a faux..."Tiger said and quickly pulled the fake king's face from Aaron's face..

Sulieman flinched, shock still holding him captive...."When did you plan all this..?"He asked curiously

"I know this was going to happen, so I prepared ahead, I made the face the very first day I was putting the plan together, those damn fools couldn't even spot any difference..."

"You said you'll let me go after I do this..."Aaron chimes in with quivering lips...

"Of course..."Tiger said back with a smile..."Thank you Aaron..., you were a life saver in the time of need..."

"Thank you.."Aaron replied..

Tiger smile slip and in that split second the thug sharply place a rope around Aaron's neck, dragged him to himself and began to strangle him with the rope cutting off his air supply...

Aaron struggled against him but it was useless.., his hands fell to his side when his energy escape him.., his face turn into a sickening colour and that was when he let go of the fight and gave up the ghost.....

Satisfy he was dead, Tiger turn her gaze to Sulieman...."No one can take the throne from us, not a man, not the gods, not even the almighty...."

DAY 4





06:58AM





Fear became a tangible, living force that crept over Aaron like some hungry beast, immobilizing him, his brain, holding him captive...., his breathe came in short as he gasp from the pains he was feeling..., he couldn't sleep a wink the previous night, all that kept beating in his head was the way he's going to die.., he knew no amount of pleading will stop the queen from ordering his death sentence especially when she finds out he's been sleeping with the princess..
His mind brood over how it all started.., he was on his own doing his guard duties when the princess walked up to him..

"What's your name...?"The princess had asked him...

He was scared at the same time a bit glad the princess looked his way.., after the king and queen, the princess was the third most feared person in the palace, she doesn't take bullshit and always held her head high above everyone else, so it was certainly a thing of utmost surprise to him when she walked up to him....

"Aaron.."He had replied in a gentle voice he barely heard himself..., the feeling was blithe yet excruciating....., he never thought that single gesture could lead him to her bed.., to getting inside her..., he never wanted to but she was the princess and the princess always gets what she wants...

"Why don't you come to my room Aaron, I'll love to show you something..."She had said to him with pout lips and all he could think about in that moment was her precious lips.., her likeable glinting skin, her perfect curve and face.., he knows fully well many guards in the palace will kill to take his position as the princess lover, he has seen so many times how the guards look at her whenever she walks past.., she was an epitome of beauty and that's was his weakness, the force that continued pushing him to her even when he knew it was wrong.., beyond his level and could ruin him..

Terror washed over him raising the fine hairs in the back of his neck when the door creak, then it opened, a man with a gun walked in first before Tiger followed a moment later..., when the door closed, Aaron knew it was all over.., this is certainly his end...

His teeth chartered in fear as he tried to open his mouth to talk, to apologise once again, his safety is what matters now..

"What is your name...?"Tiger asked, anger from the previous night tingling with her voice

Aaron body vibrated with shock.., he whimpered as his hands shook in trembling rhythm......"A..a.."He stutter, the pronunciation of his name eluding him..

"What is your name boy..?"Tiger scowled..

The furiousness in her voice jolted him from his mare..."A.Aaron.."

"And what is your relationship with my daughter...?"

A feeling of dread crept up from the pit of his stomach, his heart was throbbing in his ears, loud and irregular, but he barely heard it, for his mind was clouded with fear...., he took a short breathe with intentions of calming his panic.., if she's asking the relationship he haves with her daughter, it means Maria didn't tell her.., she doesn't no and there's certainly no need letting a cat that's stubborn out of the bag...

"We..., we're just friends..."He mutter with pants breathe, the way his heart was beating, he fears he'll collapse even before a death sentence comes for him..

Tiger scoffs..."Just friends.. "She nibbed..

The expression on her face makes Aaron thinks she suspects they were having a relationship, she isn't just sure...

"Does she know you've been spying on us.."

Aaron heart hammered and quickly he stood up from the floor, that was a top secret and he was always careful, how come she knew but never said anything....."Spy..!"

"Yes...."Tiger drag between her teeth..."I knew about that.., you're the one who's been feeding the chiefs substantial information about everything that goes on here..."

Aaron lips quivered.., more than anything he knew lying to save himself won't do much help to him neither will telling the truth...."Your majesty..,I...I don't know what you're talking about..."

"There is no need lying..,because on more than one occasion I've seen you peering at me..., you told the chiefs about the Kings money and you told them about the white men and the nuclear weapons..."

His heart froze and his stomach turned icy, as if something had walked through him and left him numb...."Your majesty..I...I...

"Relax, I'm not going to kill you..., you've even done a great job more than I anticipated..., but there is one more job left for you to do..., you're going to call chief Borgias....."

"Your majesty, I.. I.. I'm not a spy...

"Do you want me to kill you...?"Tiger retorted..

Aaron could feel his bowels loosen as his bladder reacted freely to the all engulfing fear..., every muscle in his body scream at him to flee but he remained frozen....

"I thought so.."Tiger said with furrowed brows..."Give him his phone.."She said to the man who quickly handed Aaron's phone to him....

Tiger stepped closer to him and continue..."You're going to call Chief Borgias and tell him the news is real, that the king is alive and the queen knows about it.., you overheard our conversation that Marcus will render him powerless if presented as the bait..., since he won't be able to let them kill him, he'll listen to any negotiations, so rescuing Marcus from Borgias is the only way to stop that from happening.., in addition you'll tell him you overheard where the king is hiding, you'll tell him the king is hiding on the wastelands in the outskirts of town..., and then you're going to advise him to take Marcus along because that will render the king powerless and will be open to any negotiations presented before him...., do you understand....,?"

For a moment, he just stood shaking...

"Do you understand..?"Tiger growled..

"Yes..."He replied sharply..

"Good, call him now and act like you normally do when you're giving him information and remember any bullshit from you means an instant dead..."

With shaking hands and throbbing heart, Aaron dialled chief Borgias number...








******************
Miranda woke suddenly, every thought in high definition, her eyes take in every ray of light and without a doubt she know She had slept too long resting her head on the table..., she blink, heaved a sluggish yawn before standing up to stare at the laptop...

It took her a few seconds to realised the laptop was already off from low battery.. , she closed it and walk lazily towards her bed and slumped on it...

The broken pieces of her life came flashing in her vision driving away all atom of sleep from her eyes...., she quickly climb down from the bed and walk towards the bathroom, she washed her face as her mind drove her to the past...

"Mum, why do people wash their face every morning...?"She had asked her mother when she little...,, her mother's responsive smile came clear in her vision...

"These are things people do to wash away the dirts of the night and urshered in a new smile in their life.."Her mother had reply....

The answer was ridiculous but she took it to her heart and since then she had always done the needful....

She sigh and wrapped her hair in a ponytail before she left the bathroom and stop at the wardrobe.., she look at the dirty clothes and her head revisit the way Lawrence was looking at her scattered clothes, in that moment she wonder what he was thinking....
Confused on where to start from, she took the whole clothes from the wardrobe, a metal container fell and it clattered on her legs .

She bit her lip to wash the pain out before picking the container to see what was inside..., at first she thought it was her earring since she was fond of keeping earrings in cans...

Slowly, she uncapped it, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw some of her mother's jewellery...., that painful moment when she had to pack some of her mother's things after her demise came crushing her mind.., bringing back the memories she has tried to forget...

She hold one of the chains and hold the pendant, she almost cry just looking at it and remembering her mother, she dropped it back on the container but something caught her eyes.., a picture...., she took it and stare at the person's face.....

"Take this picture..."Her mother had said to her when she 16years old...."Whenever you're in trouble and need help, find this man and he'll help and protect you..."

"Mum, why do I need protection from someone else when I have you and dad..?"She had innocently asked her mother..

She remember how her mother smiled, like she isn't going to be there for her as much as she needed...

"Bad days will come my daughter..., and your father and I will not always be there for you...."

"So this man.."She had asked without any heed...."Where does he live...?"

"He lives in Saruza...."Her mother had told her placing the picture in her hands...."If anything should happen to your father and I..., find this man, he'll protect you..."

A tear slipped from her eye and dropped on the picture.., she sniffle and wipe the tears away before turning to see the back of the picture.., there was a name written on it in bold ink..., surprise after so many years the ink was still showing.., she silently mutter the name out....."DARIO.."









********************
In the shadowy gloom of the wastelands there is a silhouetted figure, thin and unmoving. Liam crouch against the tin walls a few pace from where the figure was standing and take in shallow breaths, careful not to make a sound......

"Dad, I see him...."Liam said over the phone....

"Is he the king...?"Chief Borgias curious voice sounded..

"I don't know, I can't see his face but it does look like the king from behind..., should I shoot...?"

"No, we'll do as Aaron said..., go closer to him with Marcus by your side.., and son watch out.., if it's the king he's dangerous.., use Marcus as a shield..."

"Yes dad...."He said and ended the call before turning to face the men he came with...."I'm going alone from here on, keep your eyes on me, if you see anyone with a gun, do not hesitate before killing him.."

He watch the men nod before he face Marcus whose hands were tied...."You're coming with me.."He stated dragging him...

After a few minutes of walk, Liam's curiosity is peaked, he thought no one can be that still, not even him. Even so, he still move forward slowly closing the distance between him and the figure...., the figure was dressed in royal attire with beads visibly showing in the back of his neck but it wasn't turning around to face him and liam wondered why..., if it's the king, why hasn't turn to face him yet....

He scan his eyes around incase of any danger or surprises..., there was something about the place that unnerved him.., it was too quiet and if it's the king standing in front of him, why come alone...., he was definitely walking into a trap, he knew that but he continued, living on Aaron's words, Marcus is his leverage......

He trot on and finally closed the distance between him and the figure......, he grew furious when the figure didn't still turn to face him....

"Your majesty..."He said taking his gun out..., if there will be surprises, he needed to be ready....

He curl his lip when no reply came.., great fury hit him and he quickly stepped forward to see the figure face...

Irritation sliced across his face when he realise the figure was just a mannequin dressed in king attire.....

"Fùck you.."He growled kicking the dummy until it fell..., he flare his nostrils, anger beating every muscles in him..., he turn around but he was a split second late, bullets, fierce and deadly came for him, hitting every part of his body not even giving him an opportunity to shoot back...

He dropped down on the grass and that was when his men open fire......

The intruders took Marcus away as they shoot back at Liam's men...








********************
"And to what do I owe this visit...?"Dario asked stepping down from his threshold...

Raw anger shoot through Queen Tiger before she shift her gaze to the thug who followed her..."Give us some space..."

The thug didn't hesitate before walking out earshot...

Resentment festered on her and she immediately shift her gaze back to him...

"I believe you didn't come here to glowered at me.."Said Dario stopping to maintain a reasonable distance between them....

"No..."Tiger riposte keeping her anger in check..."On the contrary, I've come to ask how many of your people do you have in my palace...?"

Dario shrugged..."I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Do not play dumb with me Dario, you know what I'm talking about...., you abduct Me Hunter.., only someone from the palace could have given you that information..."

Dario jut his chin and took a step closer to her..."You mean the fake doctor.."

She flinched but maintain her angry look..

"I did some digging.."Dario continue and I find out some few things that might interest you..., the real Mr Hunter that specializes in cloning humans is on a vacation with his wife on an island...., and then I was thinking, who'll go to that extent of bringing in an imposter just to instill fear in people's mind..., you really did a great job, I must commend it, you nearly fooled me with the fake news..."

Her irritation flared but manage to wear a smile that disappeared within a second...."I see you have it all figured out..., you stay here in this place.., isolated yourself from everyone to make people believe you're just a fool......, they don't know you're like a time bomb waiting to explode..., the devil wearing the goat's clothe...."

His brows knit and he quickly put his hands behind him..."What exactly do you want Tiger...?"

"Queen Tiger..."She corrected....."Isn't it strange.., you're the only one who dared to threaten the king and he couldn't do anything to you, he couldn't kill you and all this years I've been asking myself why.., why didn't he kill you, who are you that the most feared man in all of Saruza and beyond couldn't kill.... , I thought maybe you're the Godfather or something worse than the Godfather, something only you and the king knew..."

"I believe you didn't come here to tell me about the past.."Dario said

"No..."She chided...."I've come to warn you.., whatever business that transpired between you and the king that made him scared of killing you..., it's not my business..."

"Exactly what is your point Tiger...?"

"My point is, the next time you cross my path..., will be your last..."

Dario brows widened.."If that's what you drove all this way to tell me, then I'm sorry you wasted your time because I'll be crossing your path more often..."

She gawked at his balls...."Should I remind you of her...?"

"Of who..?"

"Your daughter....."

He flinched, shock racing across his face..

"You hid her well from the king but I know where she is..."

"What do you know about her...?"He retorted stepping close...

"Try me again and i will be sending you her head on a box..."Tiger returned and walked to her car angrily...

Trepidation eating Dario from the inside out.., he watch as she drove out of his compound...







********************
Black mist filled the edges of Liam's vision and the only thing he could hear was his own heartbeat. His breath came in ragged, shallow gasps. Seconds passed as he lay there, then, he heard voices. People swarmed all over him, trying to help him...

"We're losing him..."The doctor said when the machine began to read low....."Increase the voltage.."

The nurses increases the voltage as the doctor shock Liam's heart with the defibrillators....

"What's happening to my son...."Chief Borgias shouted

"Again..."The doctor shouted when he didn't respond the first time...

"What is happening to my son...."Chief Borgias shouted again before he hold one of the doctor's clothes....."If my son dies, I'll burn down this hospital, do you understand me, I'll burn it down.."

"Hold him down we are loosing him.."The doctor shouted...

Shock stricken, Chief Borgias eyes moved from the beeping machine to his son who's fighting for his life. , his breaths come in gasps and he feel like he will black out, his heart was hammering inside his chest like it belongs to a rabbit running for its skin. The room spins, he lose his balance and began to fall to the ground, trying to make everything slow to something his brain and body can cope with...

A nurse caught him before his body could reach the ground...

"He's having a panic attack..."A nurse shouted...

"Chief Borgias, chief Borgias...."








WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.....?..





7 DAYS OF CHAOS...., FEW EPISODES TO THE FINALE...


All secrets will soon be revealed...

7 DAYS OF CHAOS
EPISODE 30
EPISODE TITLE- Why Maria..








In that tense moment between hugging her and wanting to let go of her, his arms squeezed a fraction of her tighter and Miranda breathed more slowly, her body melting into Lawrence as every muscle lost its tension to the tears that flow heavily from her eyes.., despite the heaviness in her stomach, it fluttered at the feeling of her body pressed against his. She sunk into the warmth of his side, appreciative of the simple gesture.....

Then she slowly lift her head off his shoulder and slightly pull out like her brain was sending signals to her heart, reminding her of what she's doing.., she actually cried in front of him, something she sworn never to do until the reason for her many tears is burnt beyond recognition....

She force herself from the embrace and stepped back.., a bit away from him, slightly embarrassed at herself for letting her emotions control her and making her weep like a sad and helpless baby in his shoulder...

He flex his fingers beside him and slowly began to clenched his fist.., he watch her wipe the tears off of her face, she was trying to be strong but he can see through her.., he knows the walls inside her can no longer contain the pain she was carrying..., the great sadness she has stored in for long..., he slightly move his hand, he wanted to touch her again, tell her it's going to be okay but he couldn't, so he dropped his hand and try to relaxed it...

She swallowed dryly and eased her behind on the chair she's been sitting, she didn't bother raising her gaze to face him.., she pretends to look at the laptop screen but her mind was in a different destination.., too far away that she fears she might not catch up and bring it back into place....

His lips quivered as he finds words to say to her but nothing dared to come out from his mouth.., maybe he shouldn't have pushed her, it wasn't his intention to force tears from her eyes, to remind her of the pains she has kept locked away..., he grind his teeth together and took a single step closer but he couldn't go more than that..., not when he still knows her mind was and still in total chaos....

He withdrew his step and brushed his almost wet eyes to stop his tears, he has seen other women cry and complain about how life has been unfair to them, he feels pity but never has he ever get to share a tear for them..., he feels drawn to her like his heart was saying something and his body was telling another.., he was like a case trapped in an awful dilemma....

He sigh wishing each breathe he takes, takes away every insane feeling that was lingering in his heart.., he step forward the second time and her hands reach for her pen, he watch her as she held the pen without writing anything on the note...

"Why don't you take a rest..."He mutter even when he knows he shouldn't..., she's almost obsessed with finding the actual meaning of what the killer meant when he said 'The one with the trojan horse is the Godfather' and telling her to rest was a total no to her and she might probably tell him to go to hell.....

She took a deep breathe to stop the raging fire burning her from the inside out before she manage to raise her gaze to face him and was about to slap his own words in his face when a knock came on her door...

She swallowed the words and shift her gaze from him to the door...."Come in..."She manage to say drying her face again..

The door knob turn down and Capisho came into sight..., his eyes moved from Miranda to the prince and then to Miranda before settling them on Lawrence....

"You need to see this..."Capisho stated with a voice that solely built no form of softness....

Miranda didn't bother asking what the problem is, she just stood up at the opportunity to excuse herself from him...

He exhale, relax his nerves and followed suit.....

Lawrence nearly trip as his head read the news headline and his ears process the words of the news reporter...

"They're saying your father is alive.."Claude chime in spuning around to face Lawrence...

"It's not possible..."Miranda cut in...."He's dead.."

"And now he's alive.."Claude replied before sitting and crossed her legs...

Lawrence mouth went frozen with an expression of stunned surprise..

"They're saying the one who died was the kings clone.."Capisho chime in walking from behind into their front...

Lawrence turn to face Claude but too slowly to be normal, his limbs move as if some inexperienced person is controlling them remotely and his eyes are wide...."I need to call my mother, she'll know if this is true...".

The corners of Claude eyes crinkled, she look heavenward before lowering her gaze to meet him...."We cannot call your mother.."

"Aren't you listening to the news..."Lawrence blared out almost angrily...

"Didn't you hear what I told you..?"Claude retorted with an onslaught of fury...

He took a deep breathe calming down his panic.....

"This could be a trick.."Miranda chime in retaining that uncharacteristic grim line amid her chin....."If he's alive why announce himself now and why all over TV station..."

"Are you suggesting, this could be the work of the Godfather...?"Claude ask curiously

Miranda nodded with a cringe at Lawrence...."Who else could pull such a stunt..., he knows the prince is here, so he did this to make him think his father is still alive so he could leave..."

Lawrence felt abashed..., cursing himself why his brain couldn't think, read meanings to things fast..., he lock his gaze on her, she must be pretty excited to the be the most brilliant one among them..., when she glance his way, he expected a smile from her but she still maintain her gait that was still faltery and uneven..

"It's a trick..."Miranda added sharply taking her gaze from him..., he's too appealing to lack intelligence.....

"Even if it's a trick..."Lawrence said wishing he could burst her bubbles and praying the same time it turns out to be a trick..., since he was little, he has always had this odd impression that his father has never liked him....

"You wont succeed me until I'm dead and buried.."His father said to him when he was fifteen and till date the words has been playing in his head, each time he comes up with different interpretations for the awful words...., he has always knew his father loves power, likes to be on top and whoever turn out to be a threat to his reign disappears..., he remenber his father cutting off a guards hand all because the guard was looking at him in a way he didn't like..., the memory of it was vividly clear in his head like it was just yesterday it happened.., that suffocating moment when his father had to force him to watch as the guards hand was cut off, the blood, the guards scream....

"Shouldn't we still find out.."He added dragging the words between his teeth..., when he turn, he caught her looking at him but quickly turn away and acted like she hasn't even looked his way.....

"We don't have time for that...."Claude riposte...."I agree with Miranda, this is a trick and a trick is suppressed by an element of surprise..."

"Element of surprise.."Lawrence reiterated and step closer..."What does that mean..?"

"It means you'll be returning when the Godfather least expects it, that way there won't be any surprises on the way...."

Lawrence draws in a deep breathe and fold his hands across his chest..."Exactly when is this going to be...?"

"The seventh day..."

"The seventh day..?"He resounds, the words beating in his head...."I cannot wait till the seventh day.."

"Are you willing to live or not..?"Claude queried sharply

He purse his lip and look at Miranda before returning his gaze to her....

"You should know we are just trying to help.."Capisho said....

Though Capisho voice sounded gentle but Lawrence definitely knows a cliche when he hears one but he didn't bother reading out the meaning....., his eyes caught Miranda again as she turn and began to walk back to her room....

"Fine...."He said with a shrug.., when he turn back again, Miranda wasn't in sight...








********************
"Mr Hunter....."Queen Tiger called out as she glided down the door knob and it swung open....

"Thank you.."Hunter said to the maid who served him a cup of water..

"Leave us.."Tiger said to the maid who wasted no time before leaving the room shutting the door behind her...

"Where is the king..?"Hunter queried with knitted brows...

Tiger flinched..."The king.., he..he....

"I told you I'll only do business with the king..."Hunter balled in, face shaded with all seriousness..

Tiger bit her lip lightly.., then slowly a smile began to surround her face before they both burst into laughter...

"That swine is dead..."She chided...."And that Mr Hunter was absolutely a good performance..."

Hunter took the glass of water he was serve, a smile still playing on his lip, he gulp down a bit of it...

"They believed it..."Hunter said dropping the glass on the tray...

"Everyone believed it, it worked..."

"God, this was an adventure..., I was pretty convincing.., you needed to see me..."

"I'm beginning to imagine Miguel's face when he heard the king is still alive.."

"Miguel.., it wasn't Miguel, he said his name was Dario and there was cop too..."

"Dario...!"She resounds with stunned surprise..."I never saw that coming.."

"Something wrong.., was he a wrong target...?"

"Absolutely not..."

"What about Marcus, I haven't seen him around.., hasn't he been let out by the men who took him.."

"That's nothing Hunter.., I'll bring Marcus myself..., why don't you relax and I'll have my daughter here to keep you company .."

He smile..."So I'm finally going to meet her..."

She returned the smile before opening the door to walk out....








******************
Fear lingering in Maria's heart.., she pace about in her room...

"Would you relax..."Aaron said..."It's your father, even if he's the devil, he's still your father.."

"You don't understand..."She said with pounding heart..

"Understand what...?"

She didn't reply, instead she walked towards the wall as her thoughts replicate themselves in her mind....

"What is it you're not telling me..?"Aaron ask curiously..

"I killed him.."She blare out turning to face him..."I was the one who poisoned the king..., I killed my own father. .."

The words sent Aaron heart jumping with trepidation...

Hot tears rolled from Maria's eyes..."And if he's alive, he'll be coming after me because he probably knows I'm the one who tried to kill him and ended up killing his clone...."

When Aaron attempt to move close to her, the door burst open and they quickly turn their gaze to the door only to see Tiger's angry eyes...

"You did what...?"Tiger queried, anger rousing every part of her...., she took a step into the room...

Hot fluid dribbled down Aaron's legs and he quickly stepped aside..

"Guards...."Tiger shouted as she moved her angry gaze from Aaron to Miranda...

Aaron heart raced with tremendous speed and all he think about in that moment was to run but he was too late, three AS squad men came running to the door....

"Take him..."Tiger scowled...

"Your majesty, I can explain.., I.. "Aaron hollered in a prime moment of torture....."I wasn't doing anything.."He added as the three men dragged him out..

Tiger quickly close the door and face her daughter again...

Great fear engulfed Miranda and she stumbled backward only to hit her back on the wall...

Pushed to her limit.., Tiger slapped her right across her cheeks..

The hot slap triggered more tears from Miranda's face....

"You killed your own father..."Tiger growled and slapped her again....

"It isn't him.."Maria yelled back, tears bursting out with her words...."It's a clone..., he's alive..."

"He's not alive..."Tiger hollered back bitterly...."It wasn't a clone you killed, that was your father..., there's no clone..."

"I..I..."She stutter as more tears rolled down her cheek.., she sniffle, snorts from her nose dripping with her tears...."I.. don't....

"I planned this whole thing..."Tiger cut in angrily...."The TV station, the white men, the clone, everything I planned it to distract the men who are after your brother so he can return to us without anyone gunning for his head...., why did you kill your own father....why Maria....?"

EPISODE 29
EPISODE TITLE- We'll kill him together




STILL ON DAY 3





Aaron is moving to where Maria is like there's a hurricane inside him, moving like his brain is demanding the energetic expenditure of an athlete but won't tell his limbs what to do....

The thoughts about who could have dropped the paper in his bathtub accelerated in his head, he wanted it to stop to take a breather but it won't.., his breathe came in gasps and he was feeling like he'll black out but lucky for him he got to Maria before any of it could happen....

Maria eyes widened as she raised her gaze to face him....

"Leave us.."She said to the maids standing a few steps from her with a voice that clearly states she isn't happy with the way Aaron walked up to her......"What is this...?"She snapped returning her gaze to Aaron..

Heart throbbing, he drop the paper on the table in front of her..

She locked her gaze on him for a moment before bringing her eyes down to look at the paper...."What's this..?"She queried not bothering to read the words..

He swallowed forcefully, his body shaking in slow rhythm...

When he gave no reply, she shift back her gaze to the paper and eyes peered at the words.., fury hit her making her turn back immediately to see if the maids were still there...

"What is this...?"She snarled reverting her gaze to him...

His lips quivered as he try to fathom the terrific aura in form of the words in the paper...."I don't know.."He said, voice a bit shaking...

She read the words on the paper before she grabbed and squeezed it.....

"Someone knows you killed Joshua..."Aaron mutter

She glared at him and he flinched at the angry way her eyes were peering at him.....

"I know what it says.."She scowled..., fury hit her but she took a breathe to contain it refusing to let mere words shake her up from her comfort zone......

"It means nothing.."She added bringing down her voice...

His forehead creased as her words hit his ears..."Someone thinks I killed him, it means something..."

"Only three of us knew about this, you, me and my mother, I haven't told anyone about this and I so well know my mother didn't either, now that leaves you in the box..."

His brows furrowed at her reply...., he lean closer to her to ring the words loud in her ears...."I didn't tell anyone..."

"Who did then..?"She returned retaining her angry voice...."Because I'm very sure if you haven't open your big mouth, non of this bullshit will be out."

"I told you I didn't..."He latched out.., he tried to control the voice but he just couldn't, her words were hitting him so hard and his body needed to react to the accusation.., too bad it came out aggressively...

"Well find the person who sent you this paper.."She said back burrowing her eyes into his...

He withdrew his body and stood a few inch from her...."I didn't do anything.."He said, his body involuntarily moving forward...

"You are involve in this as I am.., so find this damn person and make sure he or she doesn't live to send another threat .."

"I'm not killing anyone.."He retorted slightly slamming the table..

"Find the person..."She insisted, her voice rumbling low...

He swallowed dryly, took the squeezed paper from her hand and left all the way wondering who knew about Joshua's death....








********************
Miranda preen herself in the mirror as she gathered her hair and hold it together with a hair pin..., she ease herself on the chair she's been sitting on for hours trying to find meaning to what the trojan horse means...

She pick her pen from the table and jot a few things she learnt about the trojan horse down..., she was about opening another page on her laptop browser when a knock came on her door...

She sigh wondering why she never put a poster simply saying 'DONT DISTURB' on the door.., since she was a kid, she hates to be disturbed when she's trying so hard to know about something...

When the knock came again, she lazily stood up.., hesitated a bit before moving her legs towards the door.....

She unlocked the door only to see the prince standing at the door..., his hair well trim and was smelling different in a nice way...

"I didn't mean to disturb you..."Lawrence utter dragging the words between his teeth...

She almost smile but it didn't slip through so she maintain her present expression....

"Am I going to come in..?"Lawrence asked looking ahead of her, when he saw the laptop, he quickly realise she's still working on knowing what the trojan horse means...

She hesitated a bit, then she stepped out of the way before letting the words out..
"Come in.."

The sluggish way the words came out make Lawrence realise she wasn't happy he came to see her..., he's bored, he wants answers to his own issue and it turns out she's the only one who can answer his questions, so he ignored the expression on her face and the unaceepted sound of her voice and walked into the room..., his eyes moved around every corner of the room.., it wasn't girlish at all, books and clothes were scattered on the bed, the wardrobe was open and totally unkempt...

"I haven't found time to do some cleaning..."She chime into his thoughts..

He almost widened his eyes with surprise wondering if she was reading his mind...."Aren't the maids suppose to do that..?"

Her eyes moved from him as she trot towards the chair she was sitting...."I sent them back when they came.."She said before easing herself on the chair...

Lawrence nibbed waiting for the invitation to sit, an invitation he guess he'll never get...., she was different from other girls he has seen and been with.., she was tough, almost fearless and that is an attribute he loves about her.....

"Have you find anything..?"Lawrence ask standing beside her...

"No.."She replied not bothering to look at his face...

He stare at the laptop screen eye picking some words......"You already know this...."He said to her when he noticed she's been strolling on the same page over and over...

She grunts, one more reason adding to the reasons she's always wanted not to be disturbed by anyone...., she raise her gaze to face him.., her disdainfullness solely bleak on her face and she obviously don't care if her expression annoys him......

"Do you want something...?"She asked and she was damn serious about it...

He stepped back, if he hasn't seen this part of her he would have conclude she's supercillously disrespectful....."I'm just trying to help..."He mutter but helping was far from his plans..., his reasons behind coming to her room was simple.., ask her about the Godfather and a little about herself.....

"You aren't..."She said back, her voice carrying a thread of anger that went beyond her curiosity to find out about the trojan horse....

Right then, it hit Lawrence, something else was eating her and it certainly isn't the trojan horse....., something deep, perhaps from the past and she isn't keen to discuss it.....

"I'm trying to concentrate here.."She continue maintaining the harshness in her voice...

He huffs and fold his hands across his chest....."Okay.."

Her eyes glance up to his face again..., he look taller after folding his hands..., and his chest seem to push out a bit.., but that certainly wasn't her problem, her problem is he standing right beside her acting like hours ago, they weren't on the run, dodging flying bullets and collecting punches and bruises.....

"Okay..!"She reiterated angry he hasn't still get the memo..., when she said she needed to concentrate, she was simply asking him to excuse himself from her room just the same way he walked in.....

He jut his chin dropping his hand to his side again...."Okay.."

Now he's sounding annoying, she look away only to return her gaze to him a second later..., the scars from the bruises on his face were still visible but that didn't hide how alluring his face is..., he must get his way around women alot..., too bad he'll fail if that's what he trying to do with her..., her mind is too occupy with the scars and shitty pieces of her past and present...., if he's bringing in that line..., she'll jump...

"Like I said prince.."She stated making sure the words ring loud in his ears...."I'm trying to concentrate here..."

"We're in this together.."He said back sharply...

She turn her gaze away refusing to be caught up in the 'together thing', together has always been a death wish for her....

"You keep forgetting that..."He added not flinching neither going closer....

"This certainly doesn't concern you..."She retorted returning her gaze to him..., he's stubborn just like her father and it ended badly for him....

"The Godfather is after me too..."He stated..

Her forehead puckered, a sensible reminder just when she wants to be rid of him...."Fine..., you're welcome to stay..."

Her words were straight but even a little boy will read the obvious sarcasm on it..., she doesn't want him in her room, probably close to her, he doesn't want it either, all he wants is get to his own home and put the men who wants him dead in a death trail.....

"The trojan horse is pointless..."He said ignoring her words and her expression...., she can frown all she wants..., he won't be seeing her forever anyway.., once he gets to his own home, it's a bye bye to everything about MIRANDA....

She bit her lips..., bad vibes in a moment of hope...
"Don't do this.."

"Do what..?"

"Tell me it's bullshit..., that man have reasons for telling me..."

He drag in a sly breathe wondering why she can't understand what the killer said to her was just a clichè in a fearful situation....
"Even if it means something, it's outside it's context..., we won't find anything..."

She turn her gaze from him and refocus them on the laptop screen.., she took her pen up and jot in more words...

"Stop it Mira...., you're getting overworked with this.."

"Overworked...!"She resounds turning her gaze to him but this time with a different fire in her eyes..

He almost flinch when he notice the rage in her eyes like she was burning from the inside...

"That man is the reason my life is in shreds..."She retorted angrily....."That bastard who calls himself the Godfather is the reason behind my parents dead.., he took my mum first, then he took my dad, I was devastated and all I could think was kill myself...., do you know who took me from my sad little world...?"

He felt pity for her but he never got to reply her question before she continued...

"King felix.., the queen's father came to my rescue..., he took me into his arms and assure me all was going to be fine.., and for a while, I felt a little peace.., just a pinch of it..., and for a while I was happy until the Godfather returned and took him away..., he killed him...."

His heart broke and tears almost welled his eyes but he shook it of immediately..."I..I'm sorry.."

"Do not tell me you're sorry..."She growled darting her furious gaze at him again...."I didn't tell you this to garner pity from you...because your pitiful sorry won't give me the joy I craved for...."

Heart stricken with grief for her.., he just stood looking at her, he wanted to touch her, to wipe the tears that were now rolling from her eyes but he fear the way she'll react...., avoiding any scream or yelling from her, he kept his hands to himself.....

"The only thing that can give me joy is seeing that miserable bastard burn..., I'll sit, watch and laugh as he screams, wails while the fires of hell dries up his miserable skin...."

When more tears burst from her eyes.., he lean closer to her..., his heart beat as he look at her face.., her tears rolling unstoppable from her eyes..., his right hand move to her cheek, when she didn't yell the way he expected, he began to wipe her tears with his finger and slowly round it around her neck before pulling her closer to his shoulder...

She didn't fight him.., she saw his shoulder as her strength and a pillow to cry on....., when he pat her hair, she let go of the tears and sob heavily into his shoulder......

As her tears fall on his shoulder, his rage accelerated and he found himself taking her revenge as his...., her fire and grief as his..., now she isn't alone in this fight, together they're going to bring Godfather down...







.******************
"Dad..."Caleb shouted as he walked towards his father...."You need to watch this..."He added switching on the TV...

Shocked raced through chief Miguel as he reads the news headline...

"They're saying the king is alive....."Caleb said

"No.."Chief Miguel mutter standing up from his chair.."It's not possible, the king cannot be alive.."

"He's alive dad.., the news states his clone died.., the bastard fooled us all..."









*********************
"Mum..."Maria shouted running towards queen Tiger...

"What..."Tiger retorted over her shoulders before turning to face her...

Maria took a deep breathe to calm her panic before saying the words...."The press is outside.., they're saying Dad is alive, I don't understand, what's going on..,?"

"What rubbish.., your dad is death..."Tiger said back as she walked pass her and began making her way outside with Maria tagging alongside her...

When she got outside, she saw journalists at the gate clamouring for her presence but the guards were holding her back...

"Your majesty..."One of the journalist shouted when they sighted her...."Is it true the king is still alive..?"

Tiger eyes moved from the journalist to her daughter before she turn around and started walking back ignoring the journalist shouts and many questions....








********************
"Do you believe this...?"Kess asked removing his gaze from the TV....

Dario shook his head in disbelief....

"So what should we do about the white man..?"

"He said he has no idea where the king is..., we should let him go..."

"I'm still of the opinion we interrogate him more.., he might tell us something..."

"No Kess.., torturing him to tell us about the location of the king and the nuclear weapons will bring problems to us.., let him go..."

Kess sniffle and revert his gaze to the news......"The news about the king been alive is going viral, it's on all news station.., the king really faked his own death..."

"There's something odd about this.."Dario said ...."The news is spreading too fast..."

"Do you think there is another motive to it....?"

"Look at this, it's just been 2hours since the white man told us about the king and the news has spread like a wide fire....., there are two things here.., it's either someone is trying to spread the news to a large audience within a short time to put fear in people's heart or the king is just trying to make a grand entrance after succeeding in instilling fear in the hearts of people....."

Kess rub his nose and became more keen in the discussion....

"Remenber here..."Dario continue.."The key word here is 'fear..'.."

"Why fear...., who was the king that the people tends to be afraid..."

"The king was a tyrant..., the only thing he did during his reign was instilling fear in the minds of people and now that he's alleged to be back..., that fear is back..."

"So if the news is false.., it certainly means someone is trying to spread fear in the minds of people by setting this up..."

"It's possible but why would the white man lie...., and if it's a lie.., who's setting this up...?"

"Maybe the Godfather..."

"That could also be a possibility but why would the Godfather do that...., instill fear before the game begins......"

"Or why would the king instill fear in the minds of people before showing his face....?"

"Believe me when I say this officer..., this is a well laid out plan, and if it was set up by someone, if he's not careful.., the plan will hit the ground even before the game begins but if it's the king...., then the people should be prepare...., because a tyrant is about to walk the sands of this earth again...."

7 DAYS OF CHAOS
EPISODE 28
EPISODE TITLE- The devil isn't dead








There were no holes barred when the boy went in for the attack...., once again Lawrence countered it by holding his hand, he pushed his elbow down and the knife in his right hand slipped to the ground..., the boy groaned but Lawrence didn't stop, his hand firmly wrapped around the boy's other hand, he took the knife from him, threw it away and hold the boy firmly..

"Who are you..?"Lawrence asked again, voice rooted.

The boy struggle to be free from Lawrence grip bit couldn't when Lawrence hold on to him tightly....

"Who sent you to kill me..?"Lawrence growled but before the boy could reply, two more guards came running towards him..







********************
Claude stare at the throne remembering her father sitting on it, wondering if her father ever faced half of the problem she's facing now during his reign....

"How many men do we have left..?"She ask over her shoulder before spuning around to face Capisho...

"We have 10 in the palace and just 5 in the site..."

Claude exhale ..."That's fifteen..., we need to recruit more men...."

"People are scared of joining the team your majesty and with what happened during the exchange, nobody will want to join us..."

"Then increase the pay, add an extra bonus or anything to convince them..."

"Increasing the pay is not the problem, the problem is where to get them.."

"Go to these poor villages.., there are boys there who will be more than inclined to do these kind of jobs..."

Capisho sigh and flex his finger before he nodded his head...

"No matter what you have to do, bring some boys..."

"Increasing the pay will make us run low in income..., we already lost huge amount of money building defenses around the palace..., we haven't recover that yet.."

Claude exhale at the bitter truth..."Our security is more important than the money Capisho..."

"The money buys the security..."

Claude open her mouth to talk and that was when she saw the guards dragging in a boy with Lawrence behind them..., her eyes moved from Lawrence face to his bleeding arm...

"Oh God.."Claude mutter walking past Capisho to meet them....

"What happened..?"She asked with a cringe at the boy the guards were holding..."And what did he do..?"

"He attacked me..."Lawrence chimes in..."He was trying to kill me...."

Shocked, Claude step in front of the boy......, she noticed the boy was shivering....

"Who asked you to do this..?"Claude asked anxiously

The boy shudder ., he tried to talk but what came out was engulf in stutters..."I..I..

"You what...?"Claude growled..

"I tried to tell you..."The boy let out with shaking mouth

"Tried to tell me what...?"

The boy swallowed forcefully..."I.., some men came to my house, they..they....."His lips quivered as he continue..."They held my mother at gunpoint and told me I had to kill the prince if I want my mother to live..."

"When was this...?"Claude asked anxiously

The boy glance at each of them, his breathe rough and ragged..."The day the prince arrived..."

"He sent me a secret note on the day of my arrival..."Lawrence chime stepping forward..."He slipped it in from the bottom of the door..."

"And you kept this to yourself...?"Claude asked Lawrence...

"It was my first day here...., I didn't know what you..

"We'll deal with it later.."Claude cut in with a harsh voice before returning her gaze to the boy...."Are you the one who leaked out information about our plan..?."

The boy shivered, his mouth opening and closing....."I.., yes..., they ask me to always watch you and tell them what you're planning with the prince, I'm the one who told them where your men where going to be...."

"Do you know how many men we've lost because of you.."Claude retorted stepping closer to the boy who was shivering to his bones..

"I...I.., I was just trying to save my mother.."He rumbled out loud with quivering lips......

"Do they still have your mother...?"Lawrence cut in...

"If they don't, I wouldn't try to kill you.., they know you're back here..."

"So they want you to finish this job..."Claude jump in....

"I'm sorry your majesty.., I had no choice..., I..

"Where are they holding your mother...?"






*******************
The guns firmly in their hands, they carefully tiptoe towards the area the boy's mother was held hostage....
With throbbing heart, the boy led them forward praying in his heart his mother is still safe...
He stopped and they crunched down with him as he points at an uncompleted building a few walks from where they were...

"That's where they're holding her.."The boy said pointing...

"You're coming with us.."Capisho said to him before turning to face the others...."The enemy is not our friend..., so shoot to kill..."

The four men nodded and they quickly stood up as they run carefully towards the house.., when they draw nearer they notice a stick dug in the sand and on top of it was hung a human head.....

Shiver run down the boy's spine like an electricity volt as he recognise the head of the person hung on the stick...
"Mother..."He shouted heartbroken and scurried off to the post..

Capisho and the rest of them run with him looking around to see if they can spot anyone...., they check around while the boy cries his eyes out...

After a thorough check to confirm if anyone was in the building, Capisho took his phone out and dial Claude number who answered after the second ring...

"Is his mother safe..?"Claude ask from the other end..

Capisho glanced at the boy who was weeping bitterly....."They killed her.."He said...."Hung her head on a stick..."

"Those bastards..."Claude said..."Get out of there, I don't want any surprises..."

"On my way.."He replied and ended the call....







******************
Lawrence groaned as he tried to raise his injured hand, even though the cut made by the knife the boy slashed at him was treated and plastered, he was still feeling the pains.., it's just been three days and his whole body has be rigged with different bullet and knife wounds......

He manage to take off his shirt enduring the pain, with his trousers still on.., he grabbed a towel before a light knock sounded on the door....
He raise his gaze to the door wondering if someone else is about to mess with him....

"The door is open..."He stated crisply

The door creak and Miranda came into sight..., Lawrence eyes glued on her face, the bruises on her face has now been covered with makeup bringing out her once neglected beauty...

"I heard you were attacked..."Miranda said not moving an inch from the door..

Lawrence huff wondering if she was hearing it now, that was 2hours ago...."Yeah.."He let out with a benign voice...

"How are you..?"She asked like she cares when she isn't even sure if she does.., her mind was preoccupied with what the trojan horse could possibly mean, for hours she's been trying to figure it out but what she keeps getting was blank after blank....

"Yes.."Lawrence nibbed..."I'm fine now..."

"I just thought you needed to know this..."She said maintaining her position

"Know what..?"

"The boy, turns out his mother was already dead before they got there.., they hung her head on a stick..."

For a moment, Lawrence stood gazing at her, heart frozen with the words he just heard....."Is it the Godfather..?"

"Who else do you think is capable of such....."

"Why can't him just leave me alone.."He riposte, voice rigged with spite..

"Why can't you just relinquish your claim to the throne..."

"You really think I want the throne...."He returned stepping towards her....."All my life, the throne has been the least of my worries..."

"But now it's the top of your worries because the Godfather isn't going to stop until you're six feet beneath that is if you'll get that privilege..."

Lawrence certainly didn't find the words funny but he didn't show it, she's right, the bastard isn't going to stop until he's dead..., it means to survive, he has to kill the bastard first and killing him means finding him..

"Any luck on the trojan horse..."He asked changing the subject..

She suck on her teeth..."No..."

"Do you think he was lying...?"

"Who..?"

"The one who told you about the trojan horse..."

"He was at the verge of killing me, so no I don't think he was lying.."

"But it doesn't make sense...."

"For now it doesn't, but believe me when I say this, I'm going to make sense out of it and when I do..., I'm going after that bastard..."








*******************
Liam looked from the microscope, when he noticed the jeep as described by his father was coming.., he took the microscope from his face and turn to talk to his men...
"Roll the spike strip on the road..."

The men did as he has said, they took the spikes strip and roll in on the road before they stepped into the bush to hide...

Impatiently, Liam watched as the black tuxedo jeep approach them slowly closing the distance between the spike strip and the jeep...., but the driver stop before the tires could get punctured by the spike strip...

The moment a man on suit came out from the car, Liam and his gang rushed out of the Bush with their guns...

The man on suit quickly went on his knees as ordered by one of Liam's men while Liam walk over to the backseat of the cqr opened the door and point his pistol at the white man....

"Mr Hunter..."Liam stated, a smirk playing on his lips....."Welcome to Saruza..."








*******************
Exhausted, Aaron yawned mouth wide open before deciding to go to his room and take a bath.., he stroll down the corridor with a smile smoothing his cheeks.., he was glad he no longer have to share a room with any of the guards, he has his own privacy now all thanks to the princess who had made it possible,. Sleeping with the princess sure has it's own advantage..

He sigh, scratch his hair before taking the room key from his pocket to unlock the door.., he insert the key in only to realise the door has already been unlocked...

Shock in his face, he turn down the knob and the room was exactly the same as he has left it..., he nibbed thinking he must have forgotten to lock it when going out....

He quickly UnCloth himself..., shake his dick and watch it flaps around his thigh before he step into the bathroom...., he shudder when he saw a piece of paper on the bathtub, he blink to be sure he wasn't seeing something else, he quickly pick up the paper, the page was blank so he turn it around...., trepidation almost suck the living daylight from him as he stare at the words in the paper...

He forgot his bath and stepped out of the bathroom, quickly change back into his clothes and with the paper in his hand, he began to make way to Maria's room....







********************
Queen Tiger pace around in the room keenly waiting for information about the white man.., she heard footsteps and quickly turn around to see Sulieman.....

"What happened..?"She ask sharply noticing his expression...it reads disappointment....."Where is Mr Hunter...?"

"We lost him..."Sulieman mutter bitterly...."I did what you asked, separate them, Mr Marcus went his own way and Mr Hunter did same and we went our own way so they'll think he's with us..., only for us to get to rendezvous, Hunter wasn't there..."

"Are you saying we lost him..."She growled..."No that can't be, I've worked so hard to bring him here, if Hunter isn't here, why is Marcus not here either...?"

Sulieman raised his head to face her..."Our man that secretly followed his vehicle said he was taken by Chief Borgias son..Liam.."

"Then who took Hunter....?"

"I have no idea..."

Infuriated, she latched out by slamming the table with her hands..."Only two of us knew about this plan Sulieman..., if you didn't tell anyone.., who did..?"

"Your majesty.., you've known me for years, I won't betray you, I only followed your instruction, separate the white men to get the enemies confused..., that's exactly what I did.."

"Someone definitely has beaten us to our own plan..., if Borgias didn't take Hunter, then who did....?"








******************
The door creak allowing rays of light into the room..., Tied to a chair, Mr Hunter raise his gaze to face the person who had just walked into the room...

"Who are you..?"Mr Hunter asked..."And what do you want from me..."

The man drag out a chair from a corner and sat across the white man....."Let me start by introducing myself....., my name is Dario, chief Dario..."

The white man shuddered as he stuggle with the ropes...."Where is the son of a bitch who brought me here, he told me he was a cop..."

"I'm a cop..."Kess chime in from the door before entering the room..."A good cop who stops people like you that tends to destroy his nation..."

"Destroy.., what are you talking about...?"

Dario glance at Kess who nodded ....."We just have one question for you Mr Hunter..., and if you answer it correctly, you're free to go..."

"And if I don't...?"

"Then you'll have to spend the rest of your life behind bars...."

Mr Hunte scoffs..."That's ridiculous..."

"You heard me loud and clear white man..."Kess riposte

"This is absurd, release me.."

"Not until you answer the question...."Dario said

"And what's your damn question...?"

"The Nuclear weapons..., where are they...?"

The white still as he look from Dario to Kess.....

"We know you've been conversing with the queen..., you're supposed to deliver Nuclear weapons to her..., where are they..,?"

Hunter scoffs.."The queen, are you joking, I only spoke with her last night on behalf of the king..., the rest of the time I've been talking to the king ...."

"Now that's absurd..."Dario chimes in...."The king is dead, how could you have been talking to him..?"

"The king is not dead..."He said...."He's alive, what are you guys, jokers...?"

Dario glance at Kess before returning his gaze to the white man..."That's impossible, the king died right in front of everyone....."

"I've been having phone conversation with the king..., he deceived you all...., he's still alive.., what died was just a clone..."

"A clone..."Kess cut in shock racing through him..."Are you saying, the king is alive...?"

"Three months ago, he called our company.., he told us a seer told him he was going to die, said he wanted to take precaution, so he paid us to make a clone of him...."

Engulf with great shock, Dario stood up from the chair still finding it hard to believe...

Kess drew closer to the white man..."So you saying.., the king is still alive...?"

"Yes.."

"And the nuclear weapons..?"

"The nuclear weapons were never for the queen..., I was on my way to meet the king when you stopped me...., he was going to sign the contract..."

The news pushed Dario against the wall as the words ring in his head over and over....








******************
"What did you just say..?"Chief Borgias ask the other white man

"The king is alive...."Marcus mutter with quivering lips...

The words sent chief Borgias staggering backward......

"That's impossible..."Liam said....

"What died was his clone..."Marcus said....

"How do we know you're not lying to us...?"Liam scowled taking the pistol closer to Marcus face..

"The platinum cure silicone material will starts to fade off after two days of termination...., you can demand to see the body if you don't believe me.."

"I..I..."Chief Borgias stuttered..."The king died, I.. I saw him bleeding....

"Is a shadow advanced clone.."Marcus said with quivering lips.."They have the ability of performing several human attitude and techniques and that includes bleeding, coughing until it's dispelled..."

Chief Borgias felt panic begin like a cluster of spark plugs in his abdomen. Tension grew in his face and limbs, his mind replaying the words over and over.., Liam noticed and quickly walked to him...

"Pops, snap out of it, the king is alive, so what...?"

Chief Borgias lip quivered..."You have no idea who the king is..., if he's alive, it means he's been watching us, and if he ask for nuclear weapons..., it certainly means he wants to destroy us because he's the devil...."

Liam curl his lips and walk back to Marcus..."Where is the king hiding...?"

"I.i don't know..., only Mr Hunter knows his location..."

"Then where the hell is Mr Hunter...?"Liam growled furiously...

Marcus shivered almost shitting his pants..."I..I don't know...."

"The devil isn't dead.."Chief Borgias mutter with pants breathe..."The Devil isn't dead..."
