EPISODE 16
EPISODE TITLE- Lesson No. 1: Mind your business and you'll live long







Chief Borgias eyes shifted to his dead wife body again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As he blinked, they dripped from his eyelids and slid down his cheek. he bit her lip tightly in attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape from his mouth, his heart sank with terror and anger....

"Pops...."Liam chime in from the door as he trot towards him oblivious of exactly what was going on.., on his way in, he saw the thugs faces.., they all wore woeful faces like something bad has happened.., he didn't want to believe it but seeing his father standing there beside a body he hasn't seen yet already made his heart jump with trepidation....

He walked closer..., his eyes widened as he saw his mother body, dead, cold, drenched in her own cozy blood....

He dropped to his knees as the magnitude of his loss swept over him....., his lips quivered as he tried to talk yet what came out was engulfed in tremors.....
"Ma...mum...."

Chief Borgias held his shoulder and just then the reality of what was in front of him hit him....and he quickly cried out...








******************
"Thank you..."Kess said as he handed the guns over to chief Dario...

A crooked dry laughter leap out of Dario's mouth as he drop the bag of guns on the ground....

"Everything complete.."Dario asked settling himself on a chair..

Kess inhale the damp air of the house as his eyes wandered around before he refocused them on him....

"You know..."Kess stated sitting across him and cran his fingers through a layer of dust on the chair....."You haven't still tell me how you got these guns..."

Dario scoff..."I helped you didn't I...?"

Kess bit his lower lip already knowing where the conversation was going to....NOWHERE

"You did.."He replied crisply..."But I still need answers..., how come you have many ammunition in your possession, who are you...?"

"Every chief in this town have ammunition in their store room..."

"I don't know of every chief.., I know of you...., why do you have them..., are you trying to create a cartel...?"

"Cartel..."He draw between his lips before chuckling....."I don't need a cartel inspector..."

"Then explain the guns..."

"Inspector, if I'm going to help you in the future, you need to stop asking many questions...., rule No. 1 inspector.., if you want to live long, mind your own business..."

"I'm an officer of the law.., minding my business is certainly not part of my jurisdiction...."

"Are you saying I'm a criminal just because I have ammunition in my possession..."

Kess grit...."No, I'm not calling you a criminal.."

"Then you must see me as a petty thief.."

"Neither..."Kess riposte...."Look.., I'm just concern, and I'm wondering why you showed them to me despite knowing who I am..."

"You asked for my help inspector, and I provided a way out.., you should be grateful am the reason you got successful in ceasing that shipment..."

Kess sigh when he realise the chief was trying every effort to put out the subject at hand....

"I actually thought we could be partners.."Dario added

"Partners...., partners in what..., crime.?"

"Partners in bringing these scumbags down.."Dario said leaning his face forward..

Kess raise his brow...

"I could be of use to you inspector..., so what do you say...?"

Kess sigh, more of relief that the dampened air he was breathing in......"Not until you tell me how you got those guns and what you keeping them for..?"






******************
Liam flare his nose amidst tears and anger as he watch the ambulance took Antonia body to the morgue...., his fist clenched and quickly he walked back into the house....

"Who did this....?"He queried, a touch of anger in his voice...

Chief Borgias just sat on the chair, dominated by a profound sadness and anger...

"Pops..."Liam growled..."Who shot my mother....?"

"Son.."Chief Borgias mutter raising his face to him...."Sit down.."

"Pops..., that was mum whose body was just taken away like some rug rat, and you asking me to sit down...., I'm not going to sit down.., I'm going to find those bastards that did this to her....."

"Son..."Chief Borgias called out crisply before standing up to meet him...., he held Liam's head and who quickly lean in his shoulder letting his angry tears rolled into his father's shoulder...

"They killed mum...."He cried into chief Borgias shoulder

"I know son..."Chief Borgias replied tapping softly on his back..."But know this son.., I promise you, whoever killed your mother, he'll pay in every costly way..., that bastard will pay, I swear on your mother's corpse, they will pay...."

"Boss..."One of the thugs said from the door before entering the house...

"Boss..."He said again when chief gave no reply..

"What...?"Chief Borgias retorted..

"What do you want huh.."Liam growled walking towards the thug..."Can't you see we are in mourning..."

"I have more bad news sir..."The thug said...

"What is it..?"Chief Borgias ask

"The shipment..."

"What about the shipment..?"Liam balled in anxiously

"It was impound...."

"Impound...!"Chief Borgias reiterated..."By who..?"

"Our men ran into the police.."

"And they couldn't put them down..."Liam sneer..."Those imbeciles, how many where they.., the damn policemen, how many where they...?"

"Well the info I got states only the new guy was there..."

"What new guy..?"Liam asked

"That mòron..."Chief Borgias retorted..."That inspector..."

"Wait, hold up..., who we talking about here..,same inspector that was here yesterday...?"

"He's the one Liam..."Borgias said..."That damn fool has cross the limits this time.... "

"I'm going to handle that bastard now Pops...., I swear to God, I'll blow his stupid brains out..."

"Not now son...."Borgias cut in..."Let's keep this day holy for your mother..., the inspector will get what's coming for him tomorrow...."

"Pops, that fool should be getting a bullet for dinner...."

"Tomorrow Liam..."Borgias groaned before facing the thug..."And Taka...?"

The thug exhale..."He was arrested...."

"You think he'll snitch..?"Liam ask

Borgias slightly bit his lower lip...."I don't think so..., Taka is not a rat but keep a look out..., if you suspect he snitch...., send someone to that damn cell to pay him a visit without mistakes..."

"Yes boss..."







*******************
Taka glare at the policeman as he pushed him into the interrogation room and handcuffed his hand to the rod on the wall.....

"I don't like to be treated like an animal...."Taka scowled at the officer who stood beside Dorathy...

Dorathy exhale and brush her eyes with the back of her palm before fusing her full attention on Taka...

"You should have thought about that before dealing illegal drugs..."Dorathy said back..

A mirthless smile surround Taka's lips..."Come on, don't claim innocent.., you must have done something illegal once in your life...."

"Look..., I'm going to make this simple and I pray you make it simple too...."Dorathy said...."Where were you taking the shipment...?"

Taka suck his teeth..."You know, you look pretty when you make a serious face...."

Dorathy smile but it quickly disappeared as it came...."Where were you taking the drugs...?"

"Did you brush your teeth today..?"Taka asked

Irritation swept across Dorathy but she kept her cool....

"Because..."Taka continue...."I'll love to kiss you.."

"You think this is a joke..."The officer beside Dorathy yelled slamming the table with his broad hand

Taka flinch at the sudden move...."Wooo, relax officer black, I'm just trying to have a meaningful and romantic conversation with the young lady....., what's your problem man.."

"Patrick..."Dorathy cut in when the officer rushed at Taka nearly strangling his neck....."Relax..."

Face stoned, officer Patrick withdrew his attack and once again stand beside Dorathy....

Dorathy took a moment to look at Taka before she finally spoke up...."I need a name..., who were you taking the drugs to...?"

"You asked where the first time.."Taka said..."And now who..., seems to me you're getting confused here beautiful..."

"I'm not playing with you..."Dorathy growled

"Well I'm playing..."Taka replied...."And if you want me to talk, you have to step into my game...."

"And what is your game...?"She asked awkwardly

Taka drew his lips between his teeth before his eyes settled on officer Patrick..."Well you'll have to tell this angry lunatic to leave here first..."

Officer Patrick charged at him, this time he almost punched Taka if Dorathy hasn't intervene...

"Let me deal with this guy..."Officer Patrick snarled with furious eyes...

"I know..."Dorathy said before turning to face Taka..."Look boy, I'm going to ask you for the very last time and if you don't tell me what I want, I will do this the hard way...., where and who were you taking the drugs to....., I need a name and a location now..."

Taka tauntful smile slipped but he didn't say anything.....

"Oh...., so that's how you want it.."Dorathy said..."Fine, I'll give it to you the hard way...."

"I'm hungry..."Taka said..."Bring me food and maybe, I might consider talking..."

"You aren't getting anything..."Officer Patrick retorted..

"Get him food..."Dorathy said...

"What..?"Officer Patrick chime in..."You really listening to him.."

"Just go get him food okay..."

Officer Patrick hesitated, glare at Taka before he left.....








*******************
Kess heaved a deep breathe before he raise his hand to knock on the DPOS door, when he got a reply to go in..., he sigh, turn down the knob and step into the office.., he saluted immediately....

"You sent for me sir.."Kess said

"Yes, I did.."The DPO replied dropping his glasses on the table...."I was told the info about the shipment came from you..., may I asked where you heard it from or better still, who told you...?"

Kess swallowed.., he'd expected the question still he prepared no answer for it...
"An anonymous person sir..."He said

The DPO raise his brow and Kess quickly realise he didn't buy it..

"An anonymous person..!"The DPO reiterated.."Is that a joke or what...?"

"It isn't a joke sir..., an anonymous person called me..."

"And you believed...?"

"That's the major reason I went alone sir...."

"No..."The DPO said reclining his back on the chair..."You went alone because you wanted the glory..., the respect to the man who stopped a drug shipment...."

Kess sigh more of irritation...."Isn't it our job to stop such illegal activities..."

"You were suspended..."The DPO riposte..."Which means you have no right, no obligation to do anything of such..."

"If I hadn't stopped that shipment..."Kess retorted leaning his head forward..."People will be dying on the street now...."

"When you're suspended, it means you're suspended...., and I heard you carried a gun, do you mind explaining who gave you a gun...?"

Kess swallowed trying hard to hold his anger.., the more the DPO talks, the more it beats down on him he's been right all the way....The DPO is a fucķing mole...

"Like I said.., the info came from an anonymous person.."

"I didn't ask you about the info, I asked about the gun..., where did you get a gun..?"

Kess grit, anger seething his insides...

"You can't talk...."The DPO cut in..."Are you harbouring illegal weapons...?"

Kess groaned and he was ready to latched out when the door open...., He quickly turn his attention to Dorathy who was standing dumbfounded on the door post...

"Dorathy eyes rolled from the DPO to Kess before she let the words out...."He's dead..."Dorathy said with pants breathe

"Who's dead...?"Kess asked anxiously drawing close to her...

Dorathy eyes wobbled....."The boy, the boy we arrested ....., he's dead..."

"Taka.."Kess mutter and quickly dashed out of the office and head for the cells......
His eyes widened with shock as he saw two policemen carrying Taka's body out....

"What the hell happened..?"The DPO queried..

"We think he was poisoned..."A policeman said...

"Poisoned....!"The DPO reiterated..."How...?"

"I got him food..."Officer Patrick chimes in..."But I swear, I didn't poison the food, I have no idea how he died..."

Eyes sparkling anger, Kess walked past them and Dorathy quickly ran after him..

"Kess..."She shouted after him..

"What...?"Kess yelled...

Fear creep from the pit of her stomach at the harshness of Kess voice...

"You had a little task Dorathy..."Kess snarled..."Make sure he doesn't die but you couldn't even do it..."

"Kess, I'm sorry, I...

Kess didn't bother listening, he left her to enter his car and drove off, leaving her standing as her head webbed with regrets and grief...








********************
Grief stricken, Dorathy trot towards the cell Taka was kept.., her eyes almost flood with tears as she stare at the empty cell...

"You know I didn't do it right....."Officer Patrick said from behind her..

Dorathy slowly turn to face him...

"The DPO said I'm to stay here until it's confirmed he didn't die of poison...."Officer Patrick added

"Someone killed him.."Dorathy said

Officer Patrick bit his lower lip.."It wasn't me, you know me Dorathy, I'll never do that.."

Dorathy shut her eyes, when she reopen them, she reverts her gaze back to the empty cell and that was when she saw something..., she blinked again making sure it isn't her imagination playing silly games on her... but what she saw was still there..

"Do you have the key to this cell..?"She asked immediately

"Yes..."Officer Patrick replied handling her the keys..."What is it...?"

Dorathy didn't bother reply, instead she unlock the gate and rushed in, she lour down to pick a small sachet, then she sniffed it.....

"Oh my God...."She exclaimed shocked

"What is it..?"Officer Patrick asked curiously

"Do you remember this...?"Dorathy asked handling him the sachet..

Officer Patrick took it from her, when he smelled it, shock swept across his face...
"It's that same stash..."He said

"This means..."Dorathy said with panting breathes...

"He's not dead..."Officer Patrick added

They glance at each other before they quickly rushed out of the cell..

"Somebody call the morgue..."Dorathy said heading outside..."The boy is not dead..."






***************
As the police car swung into the highway, Dorathy took out her phone to call Kess.., at first he didn't answer then she called again..
When he answer, he didn't speak up and it occured to Dorathy he was still angry..

"He's not dead..."Dorathy said sharpily..

"What..?"Kess surprise voice came into light..."What do you mean he's not dead.."

"He took some stash.."Dorathy said..."It slowed down one's breathing for sometimes before your full breathe repercurate...."

"Wait.., I don't understand....

"Just come to the morgue, we are on way there.., if he pulled this stunt.., it means he wants to escape..."

"On my way.."Kess said immediately and the call ended..

It wasn't long before they got to the morgue..., Dorathy and officer Patrick accompanied by other policemen quickly jumped out from the vechicle..., their guns in their hand, they tiptoe inside each ready for any shootout..., when they drew closer, they saw a trial of blood, they followed it, each carefully observant of the environment.....

"Oh God....."Dorathy mutter with down witted heart as she stare at the pile of dead bodies..., when her phone rang, she quickly answered the call..

"Dorathy, what's the situation..., do you have him now..?"Kess asked

Dorathy swallowed forcefully and shook her head..."We are too late..., he killed everybody, he escaped...."








*****************
When they removed the blindfold from Taka's face, he stare at the man in front of him, then a smile quickly creep into his face.....
"Godfather..."He said

"Son.."The Godfather replied...."I'm glad you're save..."

With a big smile, Taka ran towards him and hugged him.....

"I missed you son.."The Godfather said

"I missed you too....Dad"

EPISODE TITLE- The Trap






STILL ON DAY 2





The bullets rent the still challina house air, The noise reverberated in the ears and rang out far over the hills, the gunshots came thick.... The tin projectiles cutting through the frozen air, oblivious to their purpose. Each one rips into something, be it inanimate or living, breaking blocks and spilling blood with equal unfeeling....

"Shoot everything that moves..."Liam shouted as more security men ran out from hiding.., he open fire with unblinking and merciless eyes.., gradually his sanity was racing to the verge of extinction..

As more bullets flies around, Men screamed in pain clutching their grievous wounds while others just fall and die...

"Kill them all..."Liam screamed as he fired torrents of bullets into the almost finished security guards, The sun beat down on them furiously as the heat wave continued unaffected at such chaos...

The bullets lay over the ground as cold as the nails of a coffin maker..., Liam walked over them and his agitated and soulless men walk after him, all trudging towards the house....

Liam laid eyes on one of the security men, down, severely injured yet still alive...., with a mirthless smile.., Liam furiously kick his bullet wound and the security man screamed in pains..

"Where is the vault....?"Liam queried..

The man groaned and pointed a direction...

"There..?"Liam asked in affirmation..

Blood gush out from the man's mouth before he manage to say..."Yes."

Liam scoff and quickly shot the man, when the man dropped dead, he move towards the direction he has pointed...

Liam halted before a door, he glance at one of his men who quickly kick the door open, and they all pointed their guns at the man they saw inside....

Liam eyes scanned the man's dressings....."Are you the manager....?"

The man's breathe stuttered in his lungs but he manage to nod his head...

"Is that the vault..."Liam asked pointing at a room with a computerised door....

"Yes.."The man said..."Please don't kill me..."

"Of course not..."Liam said, he smile before he recoiled his fingers around the trigger and poof...., he pulled it, the fierce bullet went for the man's head..

When the manager dropped dead, Liam moved over to his body, he took out gloves from his pocket and wore it in both his hands.., he lifted the manager dead body up and his gloved hands pressed the dead manager's hand to the scanner and the eyeball up for the biometrics and the computer voice welcomed Mr. Hakkin to the golden room....

When the door open, Liam let go of the body and it collapsed back on the floor..., with a big smile, Liam walked into the vault and that was when he heard a beep.., he raised his eyes to the roof and shock raced through him when he saw a countdown almost getting to 0....

"Run..."He shouted running outside...."It's a bomb..."

It didn't take long before the vault exploded spreading it's fire force to everyone around it...., what followed was smoke and the walls of the house crumbling....







******************
Slowly, a policeman opened the truck door, the DPO drew closer to take a closer look...

"Wow..."He slack-jawed...."Nice work officer Dorathy...."

Dorathy bit at her lower lip and walk up to him...."Thank you sir..."

"Continue like this and you might just have that promotion you seek..."

She wanted to smile but she couldn't knowing it shouldn't be her who deserve a congratulatory remarks...

"So what are you going to do with them sir..?"She ask curiously looking forward to do as Kess has instructed, be there when he destroys them...

"I intend taking them to the GP.., he ought to know what we are fighting here..."

"GP.."Dorathy reiterated..."That's hours drive from here sir..., if these people notice their stash was taken by us, they'll retaliate and taking them to the GP is simply a pass of taking their drugs back..."

"So what do you suggest we do...?"

"Destroy them sir..."

"Destroy..how."

"Let's burn them..."

The DPO chuckle..."Seriously, you burn powder...."

"If fire is applied to these drugs, it can't be used..., that's our measure for destroying them...."

"Fine..."The DPO said..."Take them somewhere and burn them..."

"Yes sir..."

"And Dorathy..."

She raise her gaze to him..

"Nice job..."He said..."I really wish your partner could do the same instead of accusing me of working with those men.., he should be ashamed of himself...."

Dorathy swallowed, she turn to face some policemen, when she return her gaze to the DPO, she saw him about to walk away..

"Sir..."She announce crisply..

He stopped in his tracks and face her..."Yes.."

Dorathy sneak in a deep breathe wondering how she was going to say it.., taking praises for someone's works is certainly not her style..

"Do you have something else to say..?"The DPO chimes in..

She exhale and regain her composure...."Sir...., the info wasn't from me.."

"What do you mean...?"

"It was Kess...., he's the one who stopped the shipment, he informed us about it.., I'm sorry I lied to you..."

The DPO grunt, look away and turn to face her back....

"I think you should lift the suspension and call him back sir..."She added

"Are you vouching for him..?"

"He's a good officer sir, one who takes his job seriously, he loves his job more than he does himself...."

"Do you remember he pointed a gun at me.., at my face..."

"I understand he lost his place sir, but he apologise and he stopped the shipment, isn't that enough reason for him to come back..."

"Fine..."He riposte..."Tell him I want to see him in my office before the end of today..."

"Yes sir.."Dorathy said before the DPO walked away..







*****************
Like a canon, Liam's chest pushes out smoke in rapid desperate burst as he try to stand up.., he saw smoke, grey in colour drifting out of the roof...., he grimace, cough and staggered to an open space....

Infuriated, he kicked a dead body and yelled furiously before taking out his phone to call his father..
He sniffle with flaring nose as he waited impatiently for his father to answer the damn call....

"Pops..."He blare out when the call connected...

"Do you have the money..?"Chief Borgias voice rumbled low from the other end...

Liam frown at the question...."There was no money in the vault Pops, it was a bomb, a fùcking bomb..., we were led into a trap..."

"Come home son..."Chief Borgias said..

Liam narrowed his eyes and quickly put the call to an end before turning to face his surviving men...








******************
Eyes seething with rage, Queen Tiger gulp down the glass of alcohol before turning around to face the intruder when she heard footsteps....

"Queen Tiger..."Sulieman said as he drew closer to her..

Tiger exhale and poured herself another glass of the alcohol..

"I don't understand..."Sulieman said stepping in front of her...."If you knew there was no money inside the vault, then why did you ask me to go there..."

"You should be lucky I called you out of there at the right time...."She said before raising her face to him...

"I'm grateful you stopped me from stepping into the trap but that doesn't answer my question....."

"Didn't you say Liam was there..."She said grabbing the glass again..

Sulieman placed his hands behind him...."Yes.., I don't know how they got the information but somehow they did..."

"That's exactly the point of this stunt I pulled..., this has confirmed my suspicion that there is a spy among us and this spy is feeding information to the enemies...."

"I was also of that thought..., it could be one of the guards or the maids..."

"Whoever it is Sulieman.., when I find him, he'll wish he's never been born.."

"The bomb blast killed many of Liam's men.., how did you manage to put the bomb there...?"

She smile...."The manager did that.., I told him to detonate it if something happens..."

"The manager died and so did all the security men..."

She huffs..."That my dear is what we call casualties of war..., may their soul rest in perfect peace...."

"Dont tell me you let those men die just because you wanted to be sure there's a mole in the palace..."

"And I'll let many more die.."She retorted standing up..."If it means finding the men that are after my son...., you may not understand this Sulieman, but my son is the only thing that matters to me now and I'll sacrifice anyone to keep him safe..."

Sulieman sigh..."I was just...

"Don't.."She scowled before sitting down back..."What news does Samie have of my son....?"

"He said he saw him but he ran from them..."

Tiger's heart sanked..."Call him, tell him to keep searching and he should make sure he brings my son home..."








*******************
Aaron wipe sweat from his brows as he dialled the number again but yet again, it wasn't reachable..., he quickly turn around when he heard footsteps...

"What do you want..?"He asked immediately when he realised it was a maid..

The maid, Tamara drew closer to him...."Are you guilty..?"She asked

Shock raced across Aaron's face......"Guilty of what..?"

"You sound like a guilty person.."She said..."You're so restless..."

"What do you want....?"He queried changing the subject...

"The princess wants to see you..."

"Okay.."He said turning away from her..

"Have you seen Joshua around...?"

He quickly turn back to face her..., his insides racing with added adrenaline....."No"

"He's missing..."Tamara said...."At first I thought he went home but then his brother came looking for him.., he's not in the palace.."

"How is this suppose to be my business...?"He queried, his mind brooding over the blood he saw in Maria's room..

"He's your friend.."

"He was never my friend.."

"Was...!"

"Well if you think that's not the right word, fill your own word in it..."

"I want to report his disappearance to the queen.."She said

Aaron frown.."Look, do whatever you want, stop telling me..."

"He's....

"I'm not in the mood.."He cut her short before walking away...

Heart throbbing, he created a distance between him and her before making way to Maria's room....
Without knocking he went into her room and saw her standing....

"You should stop sending people to call me, they'll start suspecting..."He said to her.., shock struck him, his heart almost ripping out of his chest as Maria turn to face him with a pistol....

He flinch and his body hit the door, fear threatening to choke him to dead....

"Wh..what..."He stammered..."What are you doing...?"

"Who are you..?"Maria asked firmly pointing the gun at him..

Aaron swallowed forcefully...."I..I.. I don't understand...."

Maria walk closer to him, the gun in her hand..."I told you about the challina town house, where my father secretly hid his money.., well it turns out another team was there to retrieve the money and only four of us knew about this mission.., my mother, Sulieman, I and you..., if my mother, Sulieman and I didn't tell anyone.., then the fourth person did...., you have ten seconds to talk...who did you tell...?"

Hot fluid dribbled down Aaron's legs as his whole body got wrapped in primal torture......

"It wasn't me..."He cried out as his body slowly drift to the ground..."I swear it wasn't me......, I.. I'll never do that to you or..or..or the queen...."

She grit and drop the gun to her side.....

"It wasn't me, I swear..."He said and hot urine rolled down his trouser..

"Did you piss yourself....?"Maria ask ....

"I..."He swallowed forcefully...."I'm sorry..,I was scared...."

"You need to understand something Aaron..., if I find out you're a spy, I'll kill you myself...."

He nodded.....

Maria took a glance at his wet trouser.."Even if my mother and I don't get along.., when it comes to my brother, my mother and I are on the same page, do you understand that....?"

His head spin with fear and he quickly nodded without words....

A smile surround Maria's lips and she lean closer and press a kiss on his lips....
"I love you..."She mutter...







*******************
Lawrence heart lit with joy as they made way to the road....
"At last..."Lawrence mutter breathing in the fresh air of town.....

He look at Miranda who wasn't saying anything to him...

"So what way now...?"He asked breaking the silence between them...

She didn't reply him, instead she started walking away.., Lawrence quickly ran after her..

"Hey..."He said grabbing her shoulder

She quickly pushed him and in that split second, a bullet raced through the space between them....
Shock engulfed their two and they quickly looked up, when another bullet came dropping a step before them, they ran back to the bush to hide themselves......

"They're here too..."Miranda said with heavy breathe..

Lawrence couldn't believe it, if she hasn't pushed him, he would have been hit..., he poke his head out and another bullet dropped almost reaching him

"Our shooter is on the roof of that uncompleted building..."He said

She took a moment to drag in a deep breathe....."Exactly who is after you...?"

"I told you I don't know..."

Miranda shut her eyes, when she reopen them, she mutter..."Shit.."

"What..?"..Lawrence ask curiously

"It's the Godfather...."

"Who's the Godfather..?"He asked

"If I'm right, you're a dead man, The Godfather has a community of gunmen and this is exactly how he operates..., if you're marked, his men will follow you to the end of the world just to kill you..."

"Okay..., I'm going to go out there.."

"You can't go, you'll die.."

Lawrence swallowed..."He's using a bolt action rifle, he works on the bolt for three seconds after each shot...., he won't be able to shoot at us if we can make it to the entrance of that building within three seconds..."

"Three seconds.., that's suicide..."

"It's our only way out of there, except you prefer us going back into the bush..., we have to take this nigga out.."

"He already bolt the gun, how do you intend we walk pass the bullet and run for the building..."

"Zigzag..."He said..."We'll have to run zigzag, that way he'll get confused on where to aim..."

"What if he shoots me..?"

He swallowed..."I'm the target.., you'll just distract him till we get to that building....., are you ready..?"

She took a deep breathe....."Okay..."

He inhale before standing up, when he came out of the bush and glance up to face the shooter, he realised his plan won't be easy..., he watch, calculated as his shooter ring his fingers around the trigger, Lawrence quickly jumped from where he was standing and the bullet hit the ground...

"Run..."He shouted and Miranda quickly run after him..., just like the plan..a fast zigzag race...

The shooter aim Lawrence movement, when he shoot again he missed but before he could work on the bolt again, they were already in the building...

"Shit.."The shooter sneer packing the gun from the rooftop..

Carefully, Lawrence climb the staircase, Miranda behind him.., he knew his plan was stupid..., how could he think of fighting someone with a gun....
His body peering the walls of the stairs.., he trot forward and gently poke his head out when he got to the roof....., shock swept across his face and he quickly turn to face Miranda..

"What..?"Miranda asked with throbbing heart..

Lawrence didn't answer, instead he went into the roof..

"What are you doing..?"Miranda ask shapily following him..

Lawrence eyes widened with shock as he saw their shooter in a pool of blood....

"Who killed him..?"Miranda asked....

Lawrence shook his head and look around for the man's gun, when he couldn't find it, he turn around only to see other people with guns coming from another staircase.....

"On your knees..."One of the men ordered....

Fear stricken, Lawrence went down on his knees as his eyes gazed at the multiple guns pointing at him.....

"Miranda..."Lawrence mutter wondering why she was still standing....

"Lady Mira...."One of the men said..

Lawrence eyes widened with surprise on how the intruders knew her..

"Zach..."Miranda called back and lean in for a hug...

"Miranda what's going on.."Lawrence ask curiously..."Who are they...?"

"Quiet..."One of the men yelled at Lawrence..

"Let him be.."Miranda said..."He's with me..."

Zack grit before speaking..."The queen received info that the Godfather has spies here, so we were patrolling and that was when we saw this one..., I killed him on sight...."

Miranda huff and glance at the dead body....

"Who is he..?"Zach ask pointing at Lawrence...

"He's the bait...."Miranda said....."but for now.., black him out..."

Shocked, Lawrence stood to his feet...."I'm a bait.., Miranda, who exactly are you...?"

Before he got an answer, one of the men hit his head with the edge of a gun, Lawrence head spin, he fell to his knees, eyes opening and closing, he dive into an oblivion of unconsciousness...

STILL ON DAY 2





Kess eyes glared at him with a harsh intensity as he weight the pros and cons of shooting him right where he stands..
"This isn't a request.."Kess sneer not taking the gun from Taka's face..."Drop your gun and put your hands behind you..."

A mirthless smile surround Taka's lips...."You're forgetting something inspector, we're both holding guns here, shoot me as much as you want but guess, I'll shoot you right back before my back lands on the floor.., do you grab that inspector...?"

"I'm going to say this for the last time, your hands behind your back now....."

"What do you think I am..?"Taka snarled..."Your fùcking kid you give orders...."

Kess frown, resentment and anger filling his head, he damn the consequences and was about shooting when a police car siren wailed around like a baby in distress..

"Fùcking police..."Taka sneer as the siren jolted him out of his daydream. His heart jumped into his throat as his brain registered the meaning of the jarring racket.....

Kess scoff as part of his eyes glanced towards Dorathy and the other policemen running towards them..
"It's over Taka...."Kess said..."Even if you shoot me, you won't be getting out of here alive..."

"You think so..?"He returned, a jarring smirk following his words...

"Drop the gun..."Dorathy blare out from behind him...

Taka bit his lower lip, stole a last glare from Kess before dropping his own gun at his side...

A policeman quickly apprehended him, snatched the gun from his hand and handcuffed him before pushing him to the police vehicle....

"Are you okay...?"Dorathy asked walking close to Kess before putting her own gun on the gun bag strapped to her trouser..

Kess heaved a deep sigh of relief...... "I'm glad you came...."

A sly smile surround Dorathy's lips..."Trust me.., it wasn't easy convincing the DPO..."

"Yet you convinced him...."

"I didn't tell him the info came from you..."

"What did you tell him..?"

"Told him it was our secret Intel..., though he wanted to know who the secret Intel was..., told him I'll tell him when I come back from the operation..."

Kess nibbed and trot towards the back of the truck, with his gun, he broke the padlock...

"So you killed these people all by yourself...?"Dorathy asked curiously

Kess look at her but didn't reply, instead he grab the truck handles and dragged it open....

"Wow...."Dorathy slack-jawed as she saw tons of the killer drugs inside....

Kess climbed inside, took out his phone and snap multiple pictures before jumping down from the truck...

"They actually ship in these many drugs....?"Dorathy asked anxiously..

Kess exhale and close the truck door before turning to face Dorathy....

"What will the DPO do with them...?"

"Destroy them.."Dorathy said..

"I want you to be there when he destroys them.., just to be sure.."

"Aren't you coming with me?"

Kess huff..."I'm suspended.."

"I know but this is an opportunity for you to come back.., see what you did, you singlehandedly stopped a shipment of these drugs..., the DPO will lift the suspension upon hearing your heroism...."

"Heroism.."He chuckle...."This was merely a walk over.., the men weren't much...."

"Still..., you still deserve to be back to work.."

"You already told the DPO the intel was from you..."

"Well I can tell him the truth..."

"He'll lose trust in you if you do that...."

"What's the use of the trust if I'm taking someone's else glory.."

Kess crackled a light laughter...."You aren't taking anyone's glory..., just act like it was all you okay..., when the DPO gets tired with the suspension.., he'll call me back..."

Dorathy dropped her head and raise it to face him again...."What about him..?"She ask pointing at the police vehicle...

Kess turn to face the car Taka was sited on...."I want you to interrogate him.."He said turning to face her..."Don't stop pushing him until he tells you who's in charge.., I have the belief he'll lead us to the Godfather...."

Dorathy sigh and her eyes caught the gun he's holding....."Nice gun..., where did you get it from...?"

Kess nibbed his lips...."It's my little secret.."

"Look who got a little secret..."

Kess smile and she returned it..

"Keep an eye on him..."He said to her..

She nodded with a cringe at the police vehicle...."Good job officer...."

"Thanks for coming..."

"Yes..., but be careful what you do from now on., watch your back.."

"I will..."He said, look at her until she enter the other police van and they drove off after piling the dead bodies in the truck of the car, one of the policemen entered the shipment truck and rode after them leaving Kess to mope at the blood on the road....









*****************
Hunger zipped harshly at Lawrence stomach as he walked behind Miranda on the path out of the bush.....

"So why were you there....?"He asked even when he knew he shouldn't have to.., his father and friend died because of him., he knew asking her questions that bring forth the memories of them into her head was totally unnecessary.., but he needed to talk..., with his once treated bullet wound jarring in pains and the hunger in his stomach, he fears if he doesn't keep his head and mouth busy, he might just fall into a slumber.....

"At your father's hut.."He added

When she didn't reply but kept on walking, he fear his thoughts has came to reality...

"My father was supposed to come home this morning...."She said lightly...

Lawrence swallowed but didn't say a word to disrupt her...

"We had a ritual we indulge in every month.."She continue turning to face him....., her gaze stopping Lawrence in his tracks...., she sniffle before adding..."My father doesn't miss it for anything, he always come back at midnight or early morning after catching an animal for the ritual..., when he didn't show up, I knew something wasn't right..., and that's why I was there at the hut.."

"I'm sorry..."He mutter..

"It's okay.."She cut in dragging in the tears back...."I'll get over it..."

He gulp a dry lump in his throat before walking after her...
"How long before we get out of this bush....?"Lawrence asked anxiously

"Just keep on walking..."

He inhale deeply ...."I'm just curious..."

"And I want to get home so I can mobilize men and go after those people who killed my father and friend.."

Lawrence flinch at the plot in her plans..."Revenge, is that your plan...?"

She didn't reply, instead she continue walking..

"Hey.."He called out..

"You know what.."She said turning back to face him..."Forget about it..."

"Look, I'm...

"Just trying to help...."She cut in brusquely...."That's easy for you to say since you're the one who caused their deaths..."

A muscle twitch involuntary in the corners of his mouth..., his heart sinking with it.....
"I'm sorry..."He stated crisply...

"Sorry won't bring them back.."She fling back and continue walking..

Lawrence kept quiet and tagged along....







*****************
"Get out..."Maria snarled at the maid.., when the maid left, she took up her glass of juice and gulp down a bit of it...

"You know if you keep screaming at everyone, they'll resent you..."

Maria eyes followed the direction of the voice.., frown lines encroached on her Face when she saw Caleb behind her.....

"If they haven't already done that already.."Caleb added stepping in her front...

Maria didn't bother replying, instead she gulp down the full content of the glass..

Caleb lean his mouth closer to hers in attempt to kiss her but Maria took her mouth away...

"Is just a kiss Maria..."Caleb said withdrawing his lips...."Don't act like it's your first..."

She quickly shift her gaze to him...."Well it's obvious enough I don't like you, why do you keep coming here...?"

"You're my fiancee, that's one tiny detail you keep forgetting..."

She scoff.."Go to hell.."

"After you dear..."He returned smiling..

She look away, when she return her gaze to him, he was still smiling..."And what's that smile for.., it's irritating..."

"I did something great today..."He said as his mind recall how he shot Antonia....."It's was splendid.., I feel like celebrating...."

"Good for you.."She riposte and poured herself another glass full of juice...

"Is he back...?"He asked

"Who is back..?"She fling back..

"The king..."

"The dead one..?"

"Come on Maria, don't bullshit me.., you know who I'm talking about, your brother, is he back...?"

"Why are you asking for him..., do you want to kill him...?"

He lean his head close..."No princess, I'm asking because I can't wait for this marriage to happen so I can fùck you..."

She glare at him but didn't reply...

"Today is the second day, yet the prince hasn't arrived.., I don't like this.."

"Will you stop talking about my brother, or I'll start suspecting you.."

"Suspect me of what..?"He retorted..."Of planning to kill him.."

She took up the glass and gulp down a bit of it...

"You're so shallow minded..."He sneer

"You keep forcing your way into this notion of a ridiculous union between you and I.., what exactly are you and your father planning...?"

"Don't bring my father into this.."

"Why...., because he's the master planner....?"

He scoff and reclined his back..."No.., it's because you're a spoiled little twàt..."

"And you my dear..., are a leech that always feeds from his father's pocket...."

"Pussy..."

"Dick.."She fling back and grab the glass again...

"Like it or not princess, I'm going to fùck you..."

"Of course, isn't that what you want.., admit it, you don't want this marriage, you just want to see me naķed..."

"No, not to see you naķed...., to fùck you..."

"Get out..."She said

"Oh, I thought we were getting a conversation here...."

"The conversation is over, so get your low self out of here.."

"Kiss me..."He slurred

Annoyed by his guts, she grab the glass of juice and poured it on his face....
"Kiss that.."She scowled and walked out on him

Nose flaring, Caleb pick up the glass and smashed it against a tree in the garden and broken pieces of the glass scattered everywhere....








******************
"Roger that.."Liam said before ending the call..., when the car stopped, he came out of the vehicle followed by the rest of the gang.....
Liam narrowed his eyes as he stare at the challina town house, the place was fence high and wired....., after a careful observation, he turn back to face the other men..

"Now listen to me boys..., what's in that house is enough money to make you rich in a second.., we're going to go in there and take that money..., anything that is not us, kill it, kill anyone in sight, children, women, men, animals, kill them because we're getting that money understood..."

The agitated men shouted sounds of victory as each of them went for their guns..., one of them jumped into a big truck they came with and with a full speed, he hit the challina town house gate and the gate sprung open.., when security men ran out, Liam and the rest of the gang opened fire....

"Kill them...."Liam shouted jumping down from his car..."Kill everything..."He added shooting a security man in his head.....

"The money is ours..."

After he closed the boot of the car, Kess took out his phone and scroll to his dial pad, he heaved a deep sigh, hesitated a bit before calling Dorathy who quickly pick up after the second ring...

"Hello..."Dorathy voice sounded from the other end

"Are you alone..?"Kess asked

"Yeah.."Dorathy replied.."I'm in the office.."

"I just got info about some shipment coming into town.."Kess said

"What shipment...?"Dorathy return with curiosity in her voice....

"The drugs.., they're shipping them in today.."Kess said with a cringe at his watch..."12noon to be precise.."

"Where did you get the info...?"

Kess grit and look both ways to see if anyone was approaching him....
"It's not important now, I'm going to check it out.."

"Kess if it's true, you can't go there alone and moreover you're suspended, you cannot indulge in anything official duties.."

Kess sigh and glance at his watch again..."I have to do this Dorathy.., if it's true, We'll gradually be stopping the distribution of the drugs...."

"I know that.."Dorathy said..."But it's too risky Kess.., you can't go there alone.."

"Look..."Kess said gulping a dry lump in his throat..."I'm going first to check it out, assemble the men, you'll meet me there "

"Kess, it's not possible you know that.., without proper information, we cannot go there...., who told you about the shipment..?"

Kess exhale, his fingers propelling him to end the call...
"I cannot tell you my informant.."

"Why..?"

"I cannot tell you over the phone.., just find a way to assemble the men and bring them to the boundary between here and the city..."

"Kess you don't get it..."She stated, voice clipped..."What am I going to tell the DPO...., nobody will follow me, it's a blind operation...."

"Tell the DPO I found this out.."

"Seriously, you think he'll believe that.., Kess you're forgotten, you're suspended and almost at the verge of been disbatched, the DPO will rule it as a bluff...."

Kess suck on his teeth and glance at the time again..
"Fine.."He stated irritated..."I guess I have to do this alone..."

"Kess you have no guns, if it's true, it's suicide..."

Kess frown at the words before he ended the call without replying...
"I have guns.."He said to himself before entering the car







****************
Miranda whole body shook as she stare at the blood flowing from Harry's head, her tears running down like an open dam as her brain desperately scrambled to make sense of what just happened....

"What is wrong with you..."Lawrence latched out...."Why do you have to kill him"

One of the guys furiously march towards him and punched his face...

Lawrence sneer in pains as the man's fist slammed across his cheek almost breaking his nose in the process, he was about retaliating but a bullet hit the man before he could raise his hand to hit him back.., eyes wide open, he turn his gaze to the new intruders as Riot and the other guy opened fire...

Bullets flies out the chamber and into the air with great elegance, pushing through the air with a great speed..., in that slight moment amidst the chaos and bullet flying everywhere, another of Riot guy fell from a bullet, Lawrence seize the opportunity not even bothering to know who the other team is, he grabbed Miranda and dragged her into the bush..

Distance was all that mattered. Lawrence wasn't stopping for anything and Miranda sure as hell wasn't taking a chance to take a rest until she's far away from the men who killed her friend....

They ran through a maze of trees and winding side leaves as the sky rumbled, and rain bounced off the cobblestones. A storm smothered the sun, greying the world around them. Drops of rain beat against their skin like hammers. Miranda wasn’t at all fazed by it. Her dainty slippers were caked in mud and the storm had battered her braided hair into a tangled mess...

Just then the thoughts of Harry been shot right in front of her engulfed her senses, she lost track of everything and miss a step and quickly fell to the ground, her body clashing on leaves and thorns.....
When she scream, Lawrence ran to her to silent her...

Bitter gusts rip at her flimsy clothing as she scream into his wide palm..., and quickly she slapped his hand off her mouth as tears webbed around her eyes mixing with the rain drops and flowing down her cheek....

"I think you sprained your ankle..."Lawrence said reaching for her ankle

She quickly slap his hand off with a loud cry..."Let it be...."

Lawrence bit at his bottom lip, he look around, sigh as rain drops flow steadily down his face..., he glance up to face her again, her tears making him blame himself......

"I'm sorry..."He said crisply.."But we need to get going...."

"They killed Harry.."She latched out with tears.....

Lawrence swallowed forcefully as a rain drop filtered into his mouth, he was tasty, hungry and on the run for his life...

"Those are the same men that killed your father.. "He blare out without flinch...."I'm sorry for what happened to Harry, but we need to get going..., we need to get out of this bush..."

She sniffle and more tears and water rolled down her face..., the gunshot replaying in her head over and over again....

Without further ado, Lawrence grabbed her foot..."This is going to hurt..."

She manage to take a deep breathe before she nodded nudging him to go ahead....

He nodded, hold her foot, he saw her teeth tangled around her bottom lip but that didn't stop him, his two hands on her feet, he lifted it and with a force, he straightened her ankle..

She let out a strangled scream and feel blood well into her throat from the tongue she had just bitten through in vain attempt to keep quiet......

"This'll relieve you of the pain.."He mutter crisply, when she offered him her hand, he took it and lifted her up...








*****************
Kess covered the car with leaves and quickly packed the guns into a bag.., he zip the bag, carried it on his shoulder and ran to a nearby bush to lie in wait for the shipment....

He took out the AR-15 style rifle from the bag, load it with bullets, then he strapped himself with a pocket pistol, if it's true what the chief said, he's not taking any chances...
He glance at his time, it was 11:53 already, 7 more minutes it will be war....









*****************
"Shit" Samie sneer when he couldn't find Lawrence....

"We've come all this way to save him only for him to run from us..."London said stepping out from a tree branch as the rain drop to a stop....

"What are we going to do...?"One of the AS squad asked

Samie sigh...."We have to find him...., come on let's keep moving..."






******************
"So is this the way out..?"Lawrence asked curiously

Miranda quickly turn her woeful stony gaze to him......"Why are those men after you, who really are you..?"

Lawrence sigh...."Can we not do this now....?"

She fully faced him..."My dad and friend is dead, two most important people in my life are dead and that's all because of you...., if you don't tell me who you are, then forget about leaving this bush because I'm not going to take you out..."

"Fine..."He mutter...."I'm the prince of Saruza, my father recently died, I believe you've already heard that..., and these people after me, they want me dead because they dont want me ascending the throne of my father....."

Miranda look at him in disbelief...

"You don't belief me huh...?"

Miranda turn away her face as more tears roll down her cheek.....

"I've told you who I am.., and once again I'm sorry for your father and your friend but if we don't get out of this bush, we might likely join them.., you think your father and friend will want that for you, want you to die when you had the opportunity to escape from here"

She sniffle and more tears drop down from her eyes.....
"So where do you want to go..?"She asked

"To my home..."

"You'll die the moment you set your foot in that land.."

He flinch by the sound of her words..."What do you mean..?"

"If they chased you to this bush.., do you think there won't be more men waiting for you to escape from here so they can gun you down..."

"Besides my home, I have nowhere else to go..."

"If you want to get to your home without a scratch, there's only one person that can help you..."

"Who...?"

"The queen of Jalema.."

"Who's the queen of Jalema...?"

"Queen Claude..."

"Look, I don't have time for that, once I get out of this bush, I can find my way back to my house..."

"You said it yourself, these people want you dead, queen Claude has dealt with these kind of people before..., she was once married to the king of Akpatu, she became Jalema queen after the dead of her father..., before she ascend the throne she fought many of these kind of people chasing you..., killed everyone who stood against her right to the throne.., she's tough and trust me, she's the only one who can help you get to your kingdom...."







*****************
The ants flowed around Kess's foot like water at first but in minutes they were splashing over his shoes and heading toward his stockinged legs. They were nothing like the harmless black ones of home either. By comparison they were weaponized, armour plated with large sharp mandibles and robotic legs. They moved almost too quickly to be tracked and took offence with everything around them, including Kess......

Kess quickly shook them off and return his gaze to the road.., he gazed at the time, it was 12:13PM.., He remembered Dario words, he said they would be here by 12, it's past 12 and there was no sign of a shipment car..., he sigh, drop the gun as the ants climbed his legs again.., he quickly step away from where they were when he realised any moment they will climb into his body..., just when he was about stepping into the road, he saw a truck heading towards his direction, a black jeep accompanying it...., gun in hand, he squatted in wait for them....

His eyes firmly on the targeted car, he aim the gun down, at the truck tyre level...., Dario was right after all.....

When the car drew closer, he slowly wrapped his fingers on the trigger and fused his eyes on the truck front tyres, when the tyre came into range, he frowned his face, tightened his grip on the trigger, preparing his whole body for a battle, he fired, the bullet raced speedily to it's target, the tyre making the driver of the truck raced to a stop after a few metres.......

Kess lay in wait to see their reaction, just then three men came out from the black jeep behind the truck, all with guns...

Kess hissed, just three men and he was actually expecting more than that....

When the three men took out their guns in search of the shooter, Kess brain sent signal to his fingers and quickly without a rethink, he open fire killing two of them in a swing while the other one ran to hide behind the jeep...

Kess came out from hiding pointing the gun in every direction ready for any surprises.., when the third man came out, Kess quickly shot him before the man could aim at him..., he watch as the man dropped down, the gun falling from his hand....
Kess turn around and quickly began to make way for the truck wondering why nobody has come down from it to shoot at him...., his heart jiggling with terror, he drew closer to the front seat, when he poke his head to look inside, he saw the muzzle of a gun.., he quickly took off his face before the guy on the drivers seat fired, the bullet almost taking Kess face out..

Kess breathe hard at the narrow escape, infuriated, he lour his head before raising it to fire back..
He hid when he realise the driver has hidden on the other side of the truck.....

"Surrender while you still have the chance..."Kess sneer tiptoeing to the edge of the vehicle.....

"Not a chance.."The guy said..

Kess swallowed forcefully as he slowly trot towards the other side of the truck...
"Damn it.."Kess sneer and came out to face him with his gun....

A muscles twitch involuntarily in the corners of his mouth when the guy point his own gun at him in a face off....

"I know you..."Kess said firmly pointing the gun at him...

The guy scoff not withdrawing his gun either..."Of course inspector..."

Kess blink trying hard to remember where he has seen him, just then it crossed his mind.....
"You..., the prince friend..."

"That was years ago..."He replied..

"You are....

"Taka in the flesh..."Taka sneer

Kess gulp a dry lump in his throat.......

"So what's it going to be inspector..."Taka ask holding his gun firmly ready for any stupid move from Kess...."Are you going to let me go or we are just going to stand here pointing guns at each other until we get bored and blow each other's brains out....."

Kess glared at him and Taka reciprocated the look, each of them not retreating, not flinching...., Without fear in their faces, they held their guns firmly at each other face......, bonded in the face of horror......

EPISODE 12
EPISODE TITLE- Death Toll








Hot fluid dribble down Lawrence legs, a touch of relief in a primal torture......, his breathe raise and quickly fall and that was when he decided to attack by quickly turn around and hold the weapon..., his heart raced with shock when he realise the weapon was just a stick...

"Who are you..?"The intruder retorted holding the other side of the stick with the aim of re-taking control...

"Who are you..?"Lawrence asked back holding his own side of the stick firmly

"What are you doing here..?"The intruder queried..

"Are you one of them..."Lawrence asked back his eyes rooting for the hunter's gun that he dropped earlier....

"Harry..."A feminine voice chime in from behind them

Lawrence eyes followed the direction of the voice, his eyes ran wide with surprise when he saw a girl walking towards them making him wonder who they were and what they were doing at the hunter's house...

Lawrence watch as the girl's eyes moved from him to the entrance of the hut.., his eyes followed her as she approach them and then looked inside the hut, the shock in her eyes made Lawrence realise they know who the hunter is...

Heart beating in her ears, the girl ran towards the covered body and quickly take off the clothes Lawrence had covered the hunter's corpse with....
"Father..."She cried out

Lawrence heart snaked and he quickly let go of the stick.., he couldn't believe it, she's the hunter's daughter.., his mouth moved to talk, to explain what happened to her father but no words could come out..,perhaps it's the shock, the shock of been stuck in a bush without food and water......

He flinch and his bottom lip quivered when the girl raised her wet eyes to him....

"You killed my father...."She growled...

"No.."Lawrence replied immediately..

"You killed my father..."She snarled standing up to meet him..

Lawrence was about explaining totally oblivious of the stick that was coming for him...., he grimace in pains when the stick in Harry's hands landed fiercely in his back..
The hit sent him staggering but he quickly stood his ground when Harry intended to hit him again...., with added vigor, he manage to counter the attack by holding the stick despite some part of it hitting hard at his stomach....

Harry dragged the stick but lawrence didn't let go, he hold it tightly as once again he tried to talk and that was when Harry pounce on him giving him an elbow in the jaw...

Pain erupted from the point of contact and Lawrence jolted back from the sudden hit but before he could get himself again, Harry punch him in his face and quickly he hands slipped from the stick once again giving Harry control over it..

"Murderer.."She latched out crunching beside the hunter's corpse with tears rolling unstoppable from her eyes..

Infuriated, Harry hit Lawrence legs with the stick.., lawrence squish almost breaking down, when Harry hit him again harder than the first, he quickly rushed at him not stopping to give him a moment to counter his fist.., he dive at Harry and they both landed on the floor, their bodies crashing on a rickety table on the ground....

Lawrence sneer in pains as pain jolted throughout his body, his almost covered bullet wound crack open and once again blood began to gush out... and just when he thought it was over, Harry climbed on him and rolled him over to the other side as their bodies crumbled on the sand and dust.....

Angrily, Harry threw a punch at Lawrence face, his strong fist breaking his nose...., Lawrence blinked in terror and with added strength, he punched Harry on the rib..

Harry cried out and Lawrence seize the opportunity, he rolled Harry over, clenched his fist and with angry eyes, he slammed his fist across Harry face again and again until blood pooled from Harry mouth, he was about punching Harry again and that was when he heard the cock of the gun followed by a violent outburst....., he quickly turn back only to see the girl has taken the hunter's gun and was pointing it at him...

"Stop..."She cried out firmly holding the gun ...

Lawrence gulp a dry lump in his throat as he try to catch his breathe.....

"You killed my father..."She scowled and a tear fell from her face...

"I..."Lawrence stuttered getting up to his feet..."Please put the gun away, you can't handle that..."

She quickly pulled the trigger, the bullet hitting the mud walls and sands dribble down to the floor.....

Lawrence eyes rolled to the back of his head, shock almost ripping his heart out...

"Don't think I missed..."She sneer..."Because the next bullet is coming for your head..."

Lawrence swallowed dryly...."I..I.. I didn't kill him.."

She flare her nose wrapping her hand firmly around the trigger.....

Lawrence exhale, pain jolting throughout his body, he quickly realise she didn't buy his words.....
"I swear.., I didn't kill him.."

"Liar..."Harry chimes in from the floor as he tried to stand up..

Lawrence extended his hands to him to help him get up but Harry slapped his hand away and stood up himself...

He spat out blood before fusing his furious gaze on Lawrence....
"I saw you.."He sneered.."I saw you coming in here with that gun..., you killed him.."

"You think if I killed him I would cover him with those clothes...?"

"Who are you and what happened to my father..?"She jumped in infuriated...

"Miranda..."Harry said walking towards her..."This man killed your father, shoot him..."

Lawrence shudder, a bit scared she'll listen to him...
"I didn't kill your father....."Lawrence quickly replied....

"If you didn't kill him, who did..?"She queried

"Miranda you really listening to his rubbish, if you can't kill him, I'll do it..."

"I swear it.."Lawrence chimes in.."I didn't kill him..."

"You were holding a gun.."Harry sneer.

"Did you hear a gunshot..?"Lawrence fling back..

"I don't need to hear a gunshot to believe you killed him....., you murderer..."

Lawrence swallowed forcefully...."Look, I didn't kill your father, he was good to me..."

Miranda sniffle and a single tear rolled down her face again but she didn't stop pointing the gun at him.., her eyes moved from her father's corpse to Lawrence.....
"Who are you..?"She queried...

"I'm somebody looking for ways to get out of this Bush..."

"Who are you...?"She retorted, this time more serious in her tone....

"I..I...

She quickly cock the gun again as her fingers went for the trigger...

"Please don't shoot..."Lawrence replied immediately..."You already shot one bullet out, there's just one left, you can't waste it...."

"This is my father's gun..."she sneer..."And if there's only one bullet left on it you should know it's for you so you better start talking before my fingers takes an action without a command from my head..., who the hell are you...?"

Lawrence heart raced as his breathe rose and fell shallowly....

"I.."He stuttered..."Some people are after me, they're the same people that killed your father..."

"What people...?"Harry queried...

"I don't know, all I know is they want me dead.., I've been in this forest since yesterday, I met your father last night, he took me and brought me here after he saw me unconscious, he took a bullet from my arm..., I owe your father for saving my life, I'll never kill him.."

"Story story story..."Harry crowled walking towards him....."You kill a man and you tell such lies to save your own skin..."

Lawrence gawked at him before turning his face to Miranda....
"Look at me.."he said to her walking close.."You'll know I'm telling the truth..., I didn't kill your father but I do feel responsible for his death..., if he had not met me, I believe he would still be alive..."

A muscle twitch involuntarily in Miranda's face....."Why are they after you..?"

Lawrence sigh....."They want me dead.."

"Why..?"She slurred

"I don't know...."

"Who are you..?"She asked again still pointing the gun at him

"I told you I'm...

"Don't give us that bullshit.."Harry cut in angrily....."Right now you're going to tell us who you are or I swear to God I'll kill you myself...."

Lawrence glared at him before turning his look to Miranda.....
"It will be safer for you if you don't know I am.."

"No.."Harry jumped in.."It'll be safer for us if you're dead..., you were found alone with my friend father's body yet you say you didn't kill him, are...

"I didn't kill him.."Lawrence yelled directly at his face....

"Where are they..?"Miranda chimes in..

Lawrence burrowed his eyes into Harry before returning his furrowed brows to Miranda....
"Who..?"

"The men you claimed killed my father..."

Lawrence suck on his teeth wondering what he'll do if he's found, he have only one bullet left....

"I don't know...., I haven't seen them today.."

"Why did they kill my father...?"

Lawrence huff..."Look, I promise I'll explain everything about me after you take me out of this bush..."

"My father is dead...?"She stated angrily..."I saw you here and everything in me keep screaming at me you killed him so you better start rethinking about getting out of this bush because I'm not leaving here until I find my father's killer..."

"Look.."Lawrence mutter crisply walking closer to her..."You don't know these men after me...."He took one more step before Harry push him backward...

"Get away from her.."Harry snarled..

"What's your problem man...?"Lawrence sneer infuriated with his attitude..

"What's my problem...?"Harry returned, then he scoff before snatching the rifle from Miranda and pointed it at Lawrence......

Lawrence shivered and took a step backward as his eyes stare into the muzzle..

"What were you saying huh.....?"Harry sneer..."You were asking me what's my problem huh..."

A ball of resentment swelled inside Lawrence and all he wanted to do is break his nose..., when Miranda moved, his eyes followed her as she crunched down beside the hunter's body and more tears rolled down her eyes...., he was about talking to her when a bullet came into the hut, hitting the mud wall as the sands rumbled on the ground....

The three of them quickly hid themselves at the corners of the mud wall...., when Harry heard footsteps, he fired back and hid again.....

Hot fluid dribbled down Lawrence legs on realization Harry just fired the last bullet....
More bullets hit the mud walls and the three of them quickly crunched to the ground before the sandy walls of the hut and the roof dismantled and everything came down on them....







*******************
Antonia quickly kicked on her brakes bringing the car to a stop when another car speedily stopped in front of hers..., infuriated, she came down from the car with the Hopes of seeing who dared stop in front of her......

She stopped when her attacker came down from the other car with four more men....

"What is the meaning of this Caleb...?"Antonia queried with a cringe at the other men..."How dare you stop me like this, how dare you..?"

Caleb raise his brow before a mirthless smile made way to his lips...

"Do you realise the implication of what you've done....?"Antonia yelled..

Frown lines encroached on Caleb face and quickly he walk back to his car and took out his gun....

Antonia froze to the spot at the sight of the gun...

"Did your son tell you what he did to me...?"Caleb queried...

"No.."Antonia said, her eyes rested on Caleb's gun..

Caleb scoff.."Mmm, you're lying..."

"What do you want Caleb...?"

"What I want..."He reiterated looking at the rest of the guys...."What I want...., I want revenge bitch...."

Antonia widen her eyes before bursting into laughter...

"Something funny...?"Caleb queried

"You're funny.."She returned putting a stop to her laughter..."If you don't have anything tangible to say, get your car and these mòrons out of my way..."

"You see this scar...?"Caleb ask leaning his face closer to her...

Antonia eyed him and walk back to her car, then she hum loudly...

"Get the hell out of my way..."She yelled from the car..."Or I'll run you over, do you understand that mòron...?"

Caleb curl his lips, he stare at the other guys before walking up to Antonia.....

"Get out of my way.."Antonia snarled

Caleb grit...."Well I was about telling you your son, Liam, gave me this scar...., now I'm sending him a bigger scar...., see you in hell bitch....."

Before Antonia could react, Caleb shot multiple bullets inside her, blasting the windscreens, steering and car seats with her blood.....

Without time wasting, he jumped into his car with the rest of the guys and they drove off leaving Antonia dead body to be discover by anyone who cares....









******************
"Bring the slowpoke out..."Riot ordered...

Lawrence cough and try to stand up but the pain was much.., he couldn't do anything when a hand grabbed him and dragged him outside...., he shook off dust from his hair, close his eyes and reopen them only to see Miranda and Harry on the ground....., he look around and quickly notice the three men standing before him...., just then he knew it's all over..., this is certainly the end of the road for him....

"Finally got you moròn...."Riot said walking close to him..., he glare at him before delivering a fatal blow to Lawrence stomach...

Lawrence growled in pains and quickly fell to his knees...

"Sit those two up..."Riot ordered...

The two guys grabbed Miranda and Harry and push them to their knee...

"Now who are you two moròns...?"Riot asked, a taunting smile accompanying his words...

Riot glance at Harry and then Miranda...., he wipe off a layer of dust and sand from Miranda face...

"Don't touch her..."Harry dared to interrupt...

Riot quickly put a pistol in Harry's head....

"Don't kill him..."Lawrence chime in..."Please..."

"You kill one of my man stupid..."Riot retorted..."Let's call this even..."He added before blowing Harry's brains out, Harry's blood splashing on Miranda's face....

"Harry...."Miranda cried out loudly...

EPISODE TITLE- The Shipment








09:17AM




Nostrils flaring, Kess stood from the table, the gun firmly in his hand...., his muscles grew tense, his wits telling him the DPO is with them....., when Dorathy called his name again, he hesitantly dropped the gun before letting out a soft growl of annoyance....

"You're suspended..."The DPO snarled...

Dorathy eyes enlarged with shock at the DPOs sudden decision...."But sir..

"He should be lucky I'm only suspending him for now.."The DPO cut in brusquely...."This isn't over officer, now get the hell out of my office...."

Kess glared at him and quickly left the office before he did something he will regret..., Dorathy saluted and ran after him....

Still smouldering in his angry look, Kess walked into his office...

"Kess..."Dorathy said entering the office with him...."What do you think you've done..?"

A boiling fury swelled inside of him and he quickly turn his angry gaze at her....., he flare his nostril before the words engulf in rage leap out of his mouth ...
"Scumbags like these men took everything away from me..."

"So this is personal...?"Dorathy riposte....

Kess turn away his face...

"You're letting what happened to you get in the way of your job, that isn't professional at all..."

"He's with them..."Kess scowled turning to face her again...."I've seen this before...., he's with them..."

"How do you know that...?"

"Have you asked yourself whoever killed the man I caught at the saluit house, how he knew the man was been taken to the hospital...."

"Kess, this kind of news spread..."

"And today...."He said crisply....."The DPO knew we needed to ask that man questions about this drugs and the Godfather..., yet he processed his bail..."

"Kess this is a serious accusation and your reaction was reckless..., even if he's one of them, you think pointing your gun at him will make him talk..., your little charade out there was a total bullshit..."

"I lost my cool okay..."

"Well you shouldn't have, no matter what you know still remember he's your superior.., what you did today could make you lose your badge..."

Kess grunt and turn away his face again...

"You should go and apologise..."Dorathy said

"For what..?"Kess replied returning his gaze to her..."He suspended me, why should I apologise..."

"Your suspension can lead to your total dismissal.., is that what you want, to be dismissed from duty.. .?"

"I'm right Dorathy.., the DPO is with them..."

"Look, we had no proper evidence against him to keep him locked up..."

"The drugs was with him.."

"We've arrested a lot of people with drugs on them..., they got bailed out...."

"And you think it's normal...."

"Well you won't know that if you get fired, so drop your ego and go apologise...."

"And what exactly am I going to say to him....?"

"Tell him you're sorry, you let your anger get in the way of your job, just say something that won't worsen the situation...., if you don't apologise Kess..., then I guess I'll have to start expecting another partner..."

Kess nibbed and walk towards the wall.....

"Fine..."He returned over his shoulder...."But after I do that, we are going after them and this time with a full speed..."

"Roger that officer...."









******************
9:40AM





Lawrence walked sluggishly, each step getting in front of the other like he wants to fall, his tiredness comes in both forms, physical and mental, his body needs to rest yet his mind needs it to move..., keep moving until he finds a way out of the bush...

He slumped on the ground, dropping the gun and the torchlight on the grasses before his eyes scanned around and settled on a squirrel a stone throw from where he's sitting...., hunger zipped at his stomach prompting him to make a move towards the squirrel...., he slowly picked the gun and aim at the squirrel, just then he realise he was only left with two bullet and it wasn't worth wasting on a squirrel..., he dropped the gun and before he could stand up, the squirrel went underneath some leaves and boom it disappeared from sight....

Lawrence stomach rumbled, a reminder he was too slow....., when he tried to stand up again, his stomach growled from hunger and thirst for water and he squirmed to try to silence the rumbling.......
He got to his feet, lour down to pick the gun again and continue with his journey..., his eyes searched for anything that could fit into his stomach but besides the trees and many leaves, there was nothing in sight once again reminding him of his horrific situation..., he shook his head and trudge on, when he look at his side, he saw a familiar tree, he could attest he had seen the tree before, he saw it the previous day when he left the hunter's hut.....

His eyes enlarged with shock as he quickly realise he could be walking in circles but with different angle..., he sigh with disbelief, hunger and tiredness..., before his mind whirl into the thoughts there could be food in the hunter's hut, perhaps he could find his way to the hunter's hut, give him a proper burial, search for food and bullets before taking another path out of the confused forest or perhaps, his confused self...








*********************
09:59AM






Samie took a deep breathe as he look at the dissipated car...., he looked from the broken glasses to the drop of blood on the car seat....

"They must have jumped off..."London said..

Samie grit, search under the car seats, there he saw Justice phone.......

"Is that the prince phone...?"London asked curiously..

"No.."Samie replied taking a careful look at the phone..."The prince phone fell off at the airport.., this is the driver's...."

He opened the phone, he saw several missed calls, many from Sulieman, the rest from different numbers......, he sigh, put the phone in his pocket and look around.....

"If they jumped off, what direction do you think they went...?"Samie asked curiously

London shook his head before speaking..."Don't know..., this is a bush man, the grasses don't leave footprints...."

Samie exhale, look around the car again....."Come on, let's move on...."He said and the rest of the boys followed him deeper into the bush.....










********************
10:24AM





Kess took a deep breathe after he packed his car in front of chief Dario house.., he look at his broken windscreen..., if the mad drugged man hasn't broke it with his head, he'll still have a full windscreen....., he quickly alighted from the car and trot towards the front door..., he lour his head, took a moment to stare at the debris outside the door before he knocked...

When no answer came, he knocked again but this time the door open the momnet his knuckles hit it.....

Surprise, he opened it widely only to see Dario standing beside the house mini drink counter, with only a towel around his waist ......
Kess insufflated and step into the house and gently close the door beside him...

"Don't you think your coming here unannounced is becoming a habit...?"Chief Dario queried over his shoulder...

Kess suck on his teeth and step closer to him....

"I knew you'll be back after that boy got released....."Chief Dario said turning to face him with a glass of American honey in his hand...

"How did you know that...?"Kess asked anxiously...

"You mean how I knew he got released...?"Dario asked walking towards a chair to sit...

Kess eyes followed his movement before the words force their way out of his mouth..."Yes.."

"I bailed him out.."Dario said before taking the glass to his mouth..

Kess hand slowly reach for his side, just then he realise he had no gun, he dropped it and his badge in the DPOs office when he went to him to apologise for his recklessness but the DPO insisted with the suspension.....
Painfully frustrated, he walk over to Dario and stood across him....

"Why did you do that...?"Kess asked, resentment building in his voice..

"He was just a boy..."

"Just a boy....!"Kess reiterated furiously..."That boy was caught with the killer drugs on him...

"He was bringing it to me.."Dario cut in...

"So you produce these drugs..?"

"No..., I take the drugs sometimes to take my mind off things, that boy was just a servant..., I send him over to get the drugs since I can't go there myself..."

"If you send him to get the drugs, you must know where these drugs are produced...."

A smile circled Dario lips and quickly, he gulp down a bit of his wine.....

"Tell me, where are this drugs produced and who's producing them...?"

"One question at a time officer...."

"I don't have the patient..."

"Only a fool will think these killer drugs are produced here in Saruza...."

"If they aren't produced here, then where, and who's in charge of them, is it you, chief Borgias, Miguel or the Godfather....?"

"Officer, the only thing I can tell you for now is, there will be a shipment coming into the town today...."

"What shipment?"

"A shipment of the drugs.., and if you really want to stop the supply of this drug, start by confiscating that shipment....."

"Where is this shipment coming from...?"Kess asked anxiously

"For now I don't know, but I do know it's getting here by 12PM...."Dario said with a cringe at the time...."You have an hour and thirty minutes to get to the boundary between our land and the city...."

"What route are they taking...?"

"My source said, they will take the german route at the boundary but if I were you I'll keep my options open...."

"How do I know you're not leading me into a trap...?"

Dario scoff..."You led yourself into a trap the momnet your superiors transferred you to Saruza...., and as you officer, I too wants the complete cease the supply of these drugs...., it's killing people..."

"Yet you take it.."

"I don't abuse it..., and I'm tired of taking it...., so if I were you officer, I'll start leaving to get prepared...."

"How many people are coming in with the shipment....?"

"I don't know officer, but no matter what you can't let them get to the point of handover because once it gets there, it'll be dangerous to do anything funny...."

"Where is the point of handover...?"

"The cave..."

"Cave..., where is this cave..?"

"Even I don't know officer, I just heard it..., all illegal business transactions are done there...I don't know where the place is but I'm finding out and soon I will know..."

Kess sigh..."If this is a trap, believe me when i say this, I'll find you and gun you down...."

"You'll thank me officer, now get out there.."

"I have a problem..., I got suspended, have no access to my gun..."

"Oh, I see you need a gun..."

Kess bit his lower lip...."Yes..."

"Well if you're suspended, how do you intend on taking down the shipment...?"

"I went to the saluit house alone, I can do it.., just pray you telling me the truth..."

Dario took a long glance at him before saying...."Follow me..."

Hesitantly, Kess followed him, they trot towards the backyard..., Kess watch as Dario approached a compartment....

"Open it...?"Dario ordered

Kess look at him suspiciously, before he walk towards the compartment, his eyes stare at the dust that clung at the iron door..., with a full force, he unbolt the door and open it widely, allowing the sun rays shine inside...

"Holy shit....."Kess slack-jawed when he saw different types of guns hung on the wall....., he quickly turn back to face him wondering who exactly he is....








*********************
Even with the hunger threatening to rip Lawrence stomach apart, he felt a pickle of happiness when he finally saw the hunter's hut again, he quickly ran towards the hut and stopped at the door when he saw the hunter's covered body laying there just the way he has left it and it made him wonder if the hunter have a family...., he shut his eyes, dragged in a deep breathe and was about walking in to find a shover or anything to dig a grave and bury the hunter..., the moment he decide to take a step, he felt something prick the back of his head and that was when a command came....

"Don't move...."A voice sneer from behind him

Lawrence gulp a dry lump in his throat, he shivered as the intruder press the weapon on his head, he felt terror washed across his face when he tried to turn to face the intruder....
