KINGS(BOOK 2)
EPISODE 6






Fuming hot smoke came through her ears as she scrunched her face, making it go as red as an obnoxious apple. Her eyes stone cold, glaring at him, daring her to make her next move. As her mouth opened to shriek he spoke up…

"What are you going to do now Rose..? He ask taking a step closer to her..

Her eyes squint, and her nose gasp, her eyebrows cocked like a blade..,she scowled her face at him...

"Oh that face.. "he muttered, a wide smile spreading across his lips.. "Just agree to my terms Rose and all this will be over.. "

She drew in breathe, relaxing her nerves...

"A signature is all it takes.. "He added

She glance towards the door again, then she shift her gaze to him....

He grunted, he was upset by the stunt she pulled but her silence was just flaming him up.., he squeeze and frown lines began visible in his face.., he took a step closer.., his eyes fell on the top of her breast..,he scoffs and glance back at her face... "Do you really want us to do this the hard way..?

She dropped the gun to her side, she knew it was pointless still pointing it at him..., she look away weighing the pros and cons of how she was going to escape.., and how long it will take to get to the door in the sitting room...

She look back at him when he shrugged his shoulders reminding her he asked a question, a question she didn't want to hear....
"No.. "She riposte with a grin..

He grinned back.."Well..

"Go to hell.. "She cut in and quickly kick his groin...

John grimace and quickly lour his hands to his balls as the pain intensified...,he moan in deep pain but Rose wasn't done..

With furrowed brows Rose hit his head with the gun and he immediately collasped on the floor..

Feets trembling, she ran out of the room into the parlour, she rushed to the door, turn down the knob but it was lock..

Heart pulsating, she ran back.., her heart race with tremendous speed when she saw blood slowly dropping from his head..

She quickly deep her hands in his pockets.., breathing heavily, she grope her fingers to find the key...
She quickly rose up to her feet when she found the key., she glance at him, her inner mind scream at her to help him but she wasn't willing...

Without another gaze at him, she ran back to the door, put in the key with shaking hands...

She sigh, a sigh of relief when it opened.., she turn down the knob and ran out not bothering to close it back...






********************
"Good morning.. "Kess partner said to him the moment he laid eyes on him..

Kess reciprocated the greeting and they both walked back to the office..

"So we found the car owner..."Inspector Douglas said picking up a phone from the table..

"Who is it..? Kess ask, his eyes peeking at the files on the table..

"Mrs Azualo.. "

Kess look back at him at mention of the name..

"I guess that's the husband last name.. "

"Yeah.. "Kess said.. "She's Jacob's wife. "

"One of the late chief's son...?

"Yes.. "Kess replied walking to his chair.... "How did her car get there...?

"Perhaps someone abducted her.. "

"Abducted..?

"Cars don't just show up on the road.., someone must have attacked her... "

Kess huffs, he was more worried about what will happen to Sonia if Carlos death is traced to her..

"And someone has been calling her nonstop... "
Douglas wink at him when he didn't give any reply...
"Hello man.. "Douglas snapped at him.

Kess quickly jolted back from his thoughts..."Sorry.. "

Douglas sigh.. "Girlfriend problems..?

"No man.. "Kess replied shapily... "What were you saying.. ?

"I was saying someone is calling her cellphone nonstop.."

"Who..? Kess ask, not that he was really interested...,damm, the thought about Sonia was killing him.., he knows that yet he still allows it..

"Max.. "

"Max.."

"Yes....,maybe a close friend of hers.. "

"Any other calls... ?Kess ask with a deep intake..

"Just few, some once, others twice... ..,in your own view, what do you think has happened to her.. ?

"Well judging from how they found the car, i think she was abducted.. "

"Yeah.., that's what i also think.., but the question is.. Who..?







*******************
Dillan quickly jump out from the bed when a knock came in.., he prays it's Nadia knocking, he's been thinking of her all night..

He look around the room, he pull in a light smile when he saw it wasn't scattered...

He opened the door only to see his cousin.. What the heck..

Saheed quickly flaunt the newspaper page in his face..

Dillan's eyes bug out as he saw the sketch of his face..
"What's this..? He queried taking it from his hands..

"What does it seem like..? Saheed riposte.. "The police are searching for you.. "

"Yeah, i know that already... "

"That's a bounty on your head Dillan.., you have more than the police to worry about now.. "

Dillan curl his lips and slowly began to fold his fingers into a fist..

"That guy is going extreme length to find you.., are you sure you weren't the one who burnt down that palace..?

Eyes sparkling anger, he spun round to face him.. "I didn't do it.. "

"I know you Dillan.. "Saheed said walking close to him.. "We spent a vacation together.., i know what you're capable of when someone pissed you off.., tell me the truth, did you burn the palace.. ?

Dillan look away, his eyes rowed back to the newspaper, the sketch of his face angered him more, how dare him..

"Allah..., you killed those people in the fire.. "

"I didn't say i did.. "He retorted

"You don't have to admit it, i can see it in your eyes.., what were you thinking...?

"I did what i had to do Saheed.., that bastard murdered my entire family.."

"Did he..?, or that's just another lie..?

"What..?, you think i killed my father..?

"I didn't say so.. "

"Then what the hell are you saying..?

Saheed huffs.. "Do you know what people are saying.., they say your father killed his father.. "

"And he killed mine.. "Dillan hollered

"So it's true then, your father killed his father.. "

"That's not true.. "

"Why did you lie to my father.., for revenge...?

"Yes... ..,Pious and his family ruined my family.., am not going to sit and let it slide... "

"You do know you can't go anywhere right..? Saheed ask, reminding him everyone is searching for him..

"Yeah i know, but your father can.. "

"My father is not a killer.. "

"I know, and am not saying he should become one, i just want that killer to be brought to justice.. "

"What really is your plan Dillan..?







*********************
Pulling in a deep breathe, Francis look around, other than the noise of birds, there was nothing else in the bush...
"How long a
re we going to keep hunting for squirrels or whatever we're looking for.. ?

If Jerry understood how he's feeling, he wouldn't spend a second to waste his time.., he really prays Katherine was alright.., he can't get off what Jerry had said from his head.., Katherine is strong, smart, she can't be dead..

"Can you be quiet for a minute...? Jerry said flicking his eyes around.. "Your loud mouth is chasing all the animals away.. "

"Animals...!, we haven't even seen an insect.. "

"Look carefully.., we'll see something... "

Francis exhales and wipe out sweat from his brow... "There is nothing here Jerry, and you know that, so please save my time and yours.. "

"I don't get you.., i suggested we go to town earlier..

"To steal food... "Francis cut in..."and i said it's a total bad idea.. "

"Good thing you remembered... "

Francis exhales, he look at his clothes, they were already dirty.., he had no other one to wear, all thanks to ogini who brought him here without his consent...
He sniff when he smelled his body....

"And speaking of Mogula.. "Jerry chimed in.. "It'll take us two days to get there..."

"What..? He resounded..."Why didn't you tell me this earlier.. "

"There is a word called 'forget' or 'forgot", whatever .. "

"You don't just forget such things.. "Francis blared out..

"You said you were a servant there.., why do you want to go back there... ?

"I need to get there.. "

"Yeah you keep saying that"

Francis grunted, he wonder how he's going to explain to him that's it's important for him to get there...
"Are you taking me there or not..? He asked impetuously

"We had a deal mate.., food before the journey.. "

"Well your ultimate search for food is taking more of our time.. "

"Time.., there is always time to get to Mogula.. "

"You don't understand... "

"Make me.., what's so important in Mogula that you're keen on getting to..?

"Have you been in love.. ?Francis ask not sure when the words popped out

Jerry narrowed his eyes.. "Once.. "

"If you have, then you know what it feels like when you hear the person you love might be dead or alive.. "

"Wait..., you were in love with a maid.. ?

Francis suck his teeth, he was inclined to shut him up and find his way there himself.... "Yeah.. "

A smile spread across Jerry's lips... "Does she love you back..?

Francis was infuriated with his questions... "Yeah.., and it'll drain me to my last flow of blood if anything happens to her... "

"Okay then.., let's get going.., am a big fan of how love story ends, especially your type.. "

Francis knows that was the only way he can get him, if he'd said he was in love with the princess, he wouldn't have believed.., he would have probably shoved it off and continue with his insane hunting..






********************
MOGULA




A flood of tears gushed down her ashen cheeks, She mumbled incoherent things through her hands and choked on her sobs.., Hot torrents of grief coursing down her face..

"Princess.. "

Face drenched with tears, she spun round to look at her..

"Princess.. "Adesa muttered shaking breath...

Katherine couldn't breathe, couldn't talk, she watched as the guards pushed Adesa out of the way....

Adesa lost her balance and fell on the floor.., her ankle sprained..

"Get lost you stupid maid.. "A guard rotted out

Another guard quickly opened the prison gate, held Katherine's hands and began to drag her out..

Katherine Bottom lip quivered, and her shoulders dropped in resignation as they drag her towards the arena...

With the chains in her hand, they pushed her down in front of King Jafar..

A devilish smile found way to King Jafar's lips.., he raise her jaw with a finger so she could see his face..... "How have you been princess...?

Katherine couldn't give a reply, instead she look away, turning her face away from his sight...

She widened her eyes with shock when she saw guards dragging her father into the arena..

"Fa.. fa.. "She muttered with shaking mouth..

Dafuda boiled with anger the moment he saw his daughter in chains... "Jafar.. "He yelled..

Jafar replied with a taunting wicked smile.., he snap his fingers and the guards began to drag Dafuda to the execution stone..

"Please..."Katherine finally spoke up with trembling mouth.. "Please i beg you, don't kill my father.... "

"Oh dear.. "Jafar said.. "You're going to watch your father died, afterwards i will defy your purity before sending you to Lord Kubali... "

"Please, i beg you, spare my father, kill me instead... "

Jafar chuckled, then he quickly grab her neck and Katherine gasp.. "Watch girl... "

Fighting for breathe, Katherine watched as his father's head was laid in the execution stone...
Complete hopelessness converted into tears that rain down her face at lightning speed..

Dafuda quickly took a glance at his daughter's face, he was incline to stand up but he knew either way he was good as dead...

He muttered silent prayers as the executioner raised the axe...

Heart beating against her chest.., Katherine watched as the axe began to fall.., in a slight second, it chopped off Dafuda's head...

Her heart froze.., for a moment, she was stilled, trying to fathom what just happened..., just then it hit her and she lashed out with a loud scream....

KINGS(BOOK 2)
EPISODE 5






FLUFFY CLOUDS GLIDE ACROSS THE PALE BLUE SKY; THE FADING, SUBDUED MOON SITS REDUNDANTLY BEHIND THEM.The sun has awakened and is promptly emerging through the hazy sky. The cloudy layer creates a pleasant blanket from the sun. Birds simultaneously tweet out to each other in a chorus, singing a soothing, melodic tune. A graceful robin flies swiftly across the open pasture, flowing beside the gentle breeze...

Kess rolled to the edge of the bed dragging the duvet above his waist... He couldn't sleep, he kept thinking about the girl next room.., she never leaves his mind, she's always there, mentally if not physically. It's just incomprehensible. She's his one stable force, his one stability in a world filled with chaos and he so desperately need that in his life.

He loves her and he still can't believe how deeply he has fallen for her, the feeling is so strange; it stretches throughout his whole body. It’s overwhelming, yet makes him feel complete. It has no bound nor length nor depth; it’s just absolute. It feels as though he's in a dangerous fire, yet he's completely safe at the same time. It feels as though someone’s given him peace. It feels as though his heart was dancing around his chest; and a hole, he was never aware was there, has been filled. He feel so light, like he's on top of the world yet his heart is constricting and it feels as if there’s no oxygen in his lungs.

It’s strange, frightening even, how you can go from someone being a complete stranger, to then being completely infatuated by them and wondering how it ever was that you were able to live without them, because you sure as hell couldn’t imagine being without them.

Uncomfortable with his lying position, he quickly adjusted himself placing the pillow under his head..
He exhales and lie down on his back folding his hands round the pillow.., he grunted when he realise he hasn't tell her how he feels.., he knows is silly harboring such feelings and the person isn't even aware..

He has fallen in love before but never has he fallen this deep for someone who isn't even aware of the way he feels.., it was stupid of him, he knew the best thing to do was tell her.., tell her how mad he is about her..

He jolted out of his thoughts when he heard his ringtone.., he glance around scanning his eyes in search of his phone..

He took it up when he found it, he sigh when he saw the name on the screen..

His partner.., why was he calling him so early in the morning...

He hesitated a bit, then he answered the call...

"Am i interrupting something.. "

Kess pull in a wry smile at his partner's question...., he quickly pull off the blanket from his body and held for his watch..

Damn.. ,why didn't his alarm ring.., it's morning already..
"Are you at the station..? He ask jumping out from the bed..

"Yes.. "

Kess pull in a deep breathe and quickly walk towards the bathroom.. ..

"They I. D the burnt body.. "

Kess heart froze...

"Turns out it's the chief's body.., Chief Carlos.. "

The shock drove Kess aback, his back hitting the bathroom door.., now everyone will know the body is Carlos.., what else..?

"Are you there..?

Kess snorted calming his panic... "Yes.. "

"Well, i thought you should know"

"Yeah, thank you.. "Kess muttered with clenched teeth.."I will soon be on my way there.. "

Without waiting for a reply, he ended the call..,now he was scared, scared everything might go south and he'll end up loosing her and it will be the end of his career..






*******************
"Good morning.. "Francis muttered, hands on his knees..

Jerry gave a sluggish yawn.. "Didn't you sleep last night ..?

"I couldn't.. "He said faintly..

Jerry sat and dust off the dirt on his hair and body... "Why.., were you scared those men might catch us again..?

Francis scoffs.. "That's the least of my problem. "

"Then what are you thinking about..?

Francis look around, he had no idea where they were, he remembered home, he wonder how his brother might be fairing, he guess he's worried about him just the way he is...

Pulling in breathe he focus his gaze back on Jerry.. "Mogula.., do you really believe they're dead.. ?

Jerry gritted, for a moment he thought he was thinking how they were to going get food into their stomach, he was hungry, he stare around hoping to see anything that resembles food...

"Seriously, i don't know.. "Jerry said pivoting his gaze on him

"Have you been to Mogula before..?

Jerry sigh.."Yeah..,i go there sometimes.."

"I don't believe they're dead.., they can't be dead.. "

"Believe whatever you want man.., but the king Jafar i know won't spare them..,I've heard things about him, his cruelty is unimaginable... "

Terror crushed Francis spines.., could it really be they're dead.., they are the only family he has left to go to.., he wonder what he'll do if Jerry's words are true.., quirking a brow, he turn away his face, he knew he'd hurt Katherine, leaving the way he left, he didn't have the time to say a proper goodbye.., His lips flushed with a wry smile when he thought about their kiss..,that simple touch of her on his body made him lost all sense of reasoning.., he loved her and he still do.., no matter how he try convincing himself it was over, he knew deep down that will never happen, he still love her and it hurts to know he left her..

He'd thought he would never see her again, but now he was back here and he heard the most devastating news of his life....

"Where are you going..? Jerry ask the moment Francis stood up..

"I need to go to Mogula.. "

"To do what.., didn't you hear everything I've been saying.. ?

"I need to be sure.. "

"Sure of what.. ?

"I need to know if they're dead like you said"

Jerry grunted.. "Look man, you can't go to Mogula.., you can't go to a place people are fleeing from..."

"You don't understand.., those people you claimed to be dead are my friends.., they're the only people i know here.. "

"Okay fine.., how do you intend on going there..?

Francis hasn't even thought of that.., he was and still a stranger here.., he look around, he doesn't even have a clue of where they are, how does he intend to get to Mogula.."Well i thought you'll be going with me.."

"And why would i do that..?

"Am begging.. "

"Begging won't cut it mate, am not going there, I was heading for the capital when those lunatics caught me.. "

"Please Jerry..., please.. "

"I can't mate... "He riposte standing up... "I guess this is where we say our goodbyes, it was nice meeting you mate.. "

"Francis.., my name is Francis.. "

"Yeah Francis, whatever.. "

"Fine, just tell me the path to follow.. "Francis said when he ran out of words to persuade him

"This isn't the world you came from mate, this is a different world entirely, map or no map, you'll get lost and probably end in a boiling pot... "

"Fine then.., don't tell me.. "he retorted, voice hitched.. "I guess i will find my way.."

Jerry exhales, he'd to get to the capital, the tournaments were going to start in two day's time.., he has always heard people talk about the tournaments but never have he witnessed any.., after the dead of the old man he was staying with, he decided to head out into the world...,since then he became a wanderer always stopping and sleeping where he dims fit..., if not for those bastards, he would have reach his destination, probably stolen some money and have some women in his bed...

He suck his teeth when he remembered what happened the last time he was in Mogula.., he has stole money, a lot of it, he manage to flee before the owner got hold of him..

"Fine.., i will go there but on one condition... "

Francis didn't care what his condition is, he needed him to get to Mogula "What's your condition.. ?

"If they're dead.., You will go with me to the capital.. "

"The capital..!
He remembers the capital, Levi has always spoken about it..."Fine.. "He agreed without asking questions why he needed him as a company...

"Secondly.. "

"Secondly.. "Francis chimed in.. "You said there was only one condition.. "

Not minding his words, Jerry continued.. "Secondly we eat.. "

"There is no time.. "

"I can't go on that far journey with an empty stomach.."

Francis wanted to counter but his words seized in his throat..."Fine.. "He said not exactly in agreement to his second condition..

he was hungry but hunger can wait when it comes to knowing if his first love is still alive..

A smile danced in his chin as the words 'first love' echoed in his head...

"Fine then.."Peter interrupt his thoughts with shrugged shoulders..







**********************
He turn down the door knob and the heavy iron-bound door swung open....,a taunting evil smile circled his lips as he saw her lying face down, her hair flat and covering her face..

"Wakey wakey.. "He said as he step into the room..
He dropped the small pistol in his hand on the table, he folded his hand waiting for her to notice his presence and raise her face.., he can't wait for her to scream and yell at him.., he enjoys taunting her, making her suffer a bit before he gets her to do his bidding which she'll surely do...

"Hey.. "He said a minute later..

He grunted wondering if she was acting up to provoke him, if that's what she's doing, he must admit it's working...

He walk close to her, for a minute, he just stood staring at her, was she still sleeping..?

"Hey.. "He said again a bit louder this time but to his utmost surprise she didn't bulge..

He furrowed his brows and lour down to her sitting level... "What's this Rose..., are you tired of looking at my face...,or you think am too pretty.. ?

When she didn't move, he push her head with his finger but her head fell down shallowly..

Fear pricked him, he quickly raised her head up but it fell back down the moment he let go...

"Rose.. "He hauled out with pulsating heart..

Confused, he quickly began to untie her, she can't die on him, he won't allow it..

"Rose.. "He called out again but no reply came from her..

How could he be so selfish, he has left her here without thinking if she eats or drink water..

He lay her on the floor after he was done untying her..., he lower his ears to her chest.., she wasn't breathing... Could she be dead... ?

Amidst his confusion, he recalled he have a first aid kit..., he took a glance at her, he wasn't sure if he had anything that can revive her on the kit but it was worth checking...

He ran out of the room in a haste and head towards his room...,he began to toss out clothes from the wardrobe in search of it..

He ran back to the room with the kit in his hand, shocked he stare at the empty floor...,she was nowhere to be found...

"Turn around.. "

Terror sent his breathe out of him.., heart aching and beating rapidly, he turn around..

He narrowed his eyes when he saw her with the gun he had dropped on the table earlier...

Trying to fathom what just happened, he gave out a whimsy laughter.. ..

Anger flashing in Rose eyes, he held the gun firmly to his head..., she didn't know she'll be able to pull off the stunt she did, but she did it and she was eager to pull the trigger if he mess with her....

"So you were just pretending... "John said, the smile on his face slowly encroaching into a frown..

Rose swallowed and blew a strap of her from her face... "You think i was going to let you continue tying me up like an animal.. "

"Sorry to disappoint you Rose.., your plan for escape was just a waste of time.. "

"Am the one with the gun.. "Rose reminded him, she needed him to know she was in command here and if he tries any nonsense, she won't hesitate before pulling the trigger and she meant it...

John's jaw dropped, then he burst into laughter...

Rose curl her lips, his laughter irritates her, angered her to the core..

"You really think i will come here with a loaded gun.. "

Rose heart skipped, terror flooded every part of her body.....

"Stop wasting your time, there is no bullet in that gun, i only brought it here to scare you.. "

Infuriated with his talks, she wrapped her fingers firmly round the trigger then she pulled it..

Her heart snaked, disappointment flaring every part of her face, he was right, the damn gun isn't loaded...

"You really would have shot me with that..?

Rose glare at him, her gaze quickly shift to the door, one thing was sure, gun or no gun, she is getting out of here...

KINGS(BOOK 2)
EPISODE 4






FEAR BECAME A TANGIBLE, LIVING FORCE THAT CREPT OVER FRANCIS LIKE SOME HUNGRY BEAST, IMMOBILIZING HIM; His brain, holding him captive...
He steady his breath and try to calm the panic overwhelming him..

He sneeze when the smoke from the fire found it's way into his nose.., he scratched his eyes and quickly turn back to face Jerry..

"Are you really willing to die..?

Jerry threw a glance at him, he scoff and focus his gaze at the men... "Doesn't sound like we have a choice.. "

"We have a choice okay.. "Francis hauled out unaware of how loud his voice sounded..

Terror nearly suck out breathe from his mouth when one of the men spun round to face him...

He sigh, a sigh of relief when the man turned back to face the rituals..

"We need to get out of here.. "He said faintly..

"How do you propose we do that..?

Taking in a deep breathe, he scan his eyes around again, the place was surrounded with bushes, his instincts tells him that wherever he is, is far away from where people are...

"I don't know.. "He muttered

Jerry grunted.. "There is no escape from here.., believe it or not, we're dead meats.. "

His heart pounded when the men turn round to face them.., the drawings on their faces made them more deadly, devilish..

He quickly adjusted himself when one of them began to head towards them...

He sat still as one of them walk towards him, he was ugly, had marks all over his face, his head painted red.., A cold wave embalmed Francis as the hairs rose on the back of his neck and his mouth ran dry....

The man sniff as he close the distance between them.., a feeling of dread crept up from the pit of Francis stomach as he stare eye to eye with the killer..

He knew he shouldn't be afraid but he couldn't help it, his heart was throbbing in his ears, loud and irregular, but he barely heard it, for his mind was clouded with fear....

He suck in air as the man passed him and went towards Jerry...,he wonder how Jerry could be so cool with the man staring at him like that.., Jerry didn't shake, he just sat like he was praying the man pick him..

Francis pull in a deep drag and reclined his back on the ropes..

The man went on until he stopped in front of a boy..
Francis heart froze and his stomach turned icy as the man pointed at the boy.., two other men quickly loosened the net and the boy fell down.., he tried to run but they held him before he could make his escape..

What followed was a loud scream from the boy, he try to fight with the men but their grip was firm on him..
Francis prayed in his heart the boy overpowered them but his prayer were cut when one of the men slit the boy's throat..

Francis was paralyzed to the spot, the menacing aura holding him in a tightening grip...,the sudden shock making him tense his muscles..., he watched in utmost fear as blood poured down from the boy's neck..

He quickly look away, he whimpered and his legs collapse underneath him, He could no longer control his hands; they were shaking in an odd trembling rhythm, just then, tears began to flow from his eyes..., he shut his ears as the men began to chant incantations......,This can't be his fate.., it can't be...








*********************
The lingering light was obliterated by the thin night. The once salmon and purple sky transformed into a vast expanse of blackness that engulfed the town. A canopy of luminous stars materialized amongst the ocean of blackness. Some were dull, merely flickering into existence every now and then, the fade wind brushed Jerry's chin and he quickly opened his eyes..

He sat up not making a sound, he look around, the men were lying on the floor probably fast asleep..

He glance to his side......"Hey.. "He muttered..

Francis quickly shift his gaze to him, his eyes drenched with soaked marks of tears..

"How are you feeling..? Jerry ask quietly

Not giving him the dignity of a reply, Francis turn away his gaze and dive back into his thoughts..

Jerry grunted.., he tried adjusting himself so his hands could reach for the small dagger in his pocket..

"I love you.. "He muttered to himself when he succeeded in taking the dagger out..

He surveyed the area with his eyes, the men as well as the rest of the boys were still sleeping..
Quietly, he began to cut the ropes of the net...

A tear sheen down Francis cheek as he thought about home, his brother.., he wonder if he will ever see him again, bad things keep happening to him and he doesn't understand why..

"Hey.. "

He bounced out of his thought when he heard the voice.., shock waved through him.. "How did..

"Shh.. "Jerry motioned placing a finger in his mouth..

Francis quickly went numb..
Light drained in his face as Jerry began to cut the ropes.., though he was scared, scared they will get caught.., he scan his eyes around, he sigh with heavy breathe and turn his gaze back to Jerry again..

It wasn't long before Jerry created a little gap in the net, spacious enough for him to get out..
He quickly jump down making sure his feet doesn't make a sound..

"Let's go.., thank me later.. "

"But..!."Francis glance back at the rest of the boys.. "What about them..?

"Are you crazy..? Jerry retorted.. "You're lucky i even saved you.., there is no time, they'll wake up anytime soon.. "

As much as Francis didn't want to leave the rest of the boys, he'd to survive and to do that, he must leave as Jerry suggested..

Without a second glance, both boys took heels into the bush...







*********************
The dry woods flamed up after Jerry struck the stones against each other...
The cold moves in only to meet the warmth of Francis blood, his defence against such wind. He felt it wash over his skin, again and again, only to be met by the beat of his heart, again and again..

He quickly move closer to the fire to warm himself..

"You don't seem like who has stayed in this lands for a long time.. "Jerry said stretching his legs and flexing his muscles..

Francis sigh, the thought of home evaded his head again.... "I thought you were ready to die back there.. "

"Changing the subject."He shrugged his shoulders.. "I guess i had a rethink.., i still have much to live for.. "

"Thank you.. "Francis muttered wondering he would have gotten out of there if it weren't for him..

Jerry nodded..

"How long have you been here...?

"Do i even remember... "He clenched his teeth adjusting his legs... "I guess I've been here for years.. "

"Years..! Francis muttered surprise..

"Yeah, maybe.., what about you.., how long have you been here..?

Pulling in a deep breathe, Francis shift backward to avoid the smoke... "I was here before, then i went back.. "

"Went back.., went back to where...?

"Home..,where i came from.. "

"God.., you made the sacrifice.. "

Francis lour his head at the reminder of that day.., Barbara had fallen into the river.., and Taka did it again..

Though he wasn't close to Barbara but he'll always blame himself for her death...

"Yes.. "

"I knew you weren't innocent.. "

"It wasn't my intention.., it's complicated... "

"Then how the hell are you back here..?

Francis swallowed, that moment of Taka stabbing himself shattered him..

"The stories are true, isn't it?

Francis turn his gaze back to him but didn't give him a reply..

"Ogini brought you back"

Jerry thought about the day he found out there was a way to go back..,he was glad, happy he was finally going back home, even if his parents were dead, he was keen on seeing the men who murdered his parents go to jail.. But he never got that opportunity.., he cried when he found out the price for his return was a sacrifice..., he couldn't offer any innocent life...

"My friend died.. "Francis stated faintly .."Ogini made him sacrifice himself for my return.. "

"I don't understand this.., if Ogini brought you back here, aren't you supposed to be in her shrine.. "

"Honestly i don't know where am supposed to be.. "

"You heard the call..., you aren't supposed to be here.., something must have gone wrong with the sacrifice..."

"What do you mean..?

"Years ago, i met a couple, they took me in, they were good to me.., there i heard the story..."

"What story..?

"The story of a KA-RU who made the sacrifice like you did.., he was brought back but he didn't make it to the shrine as he was supposed to...,someone else did.. "

"I don't get any of this.., you think someone else has taken my place in the shrine.. ?

"Look, i don't know how it works, i only know what they told me, but they also said the person that made it to the shrine was the blood racca.. "

"Blood racca..,What does that mean..?

"It means many things.., the slayer of thy enemies and the leader of the KA-RUs..., He slaughtered an entire town in the name of ogini..,he is more darker and dangerous than the dark priestess.., it was said everyone feared him.. "

"Then how did he die..?

"People say Hakundad killed him because he killed his worshippers.., since then, no blood racca has been to this lands.. "

"Are you saying there is one now.....?

"You said your friend was the sacrifice..., your friend wasn't the only one that fell into the river that day... "

"What about the KA-RU.., what happened to him..? Francis asked curiously

"He sworn never to work for ogini.., so he killed himself... "

Francis heart skipped...
"Do you think ogini still wants me.., since i didn't make it to the shrine..? He ask impetuously..

Jerry scoffs.. "You're a KA-RU.., ogini will always need you but i fear your arrival has brought in something evil.., another era of blood racca... "

Francis exhales wondering who the blood racca he spoke about really was.., how evil was he...

"What are you going to do now..? Jerry ask laying his head on the floor...

Francis wanted to ask him his story, how he got here but he knew asking him questions will only mean telling him his.., he thought about Katherine.., the thought of seeing her gave him a little relief, he wonder how she was faring.., he sigh when he notice Jerry's question was still hanging....

"I will go to Mogula.. "

"Mogula.. "He riposte sitting up.. "You're kidding me, aren't you..?

"No am not.., i lived there, i was a servant to the younger prince.., Prince Vuga.."

"You haven't heard, have you..?

"Heard what...?

"King Jafar won the war.., he took over Mogula and became the king.., He held King's Dafuda family prisoners .., i believe he has killed them already.., every last one of them.. "

Terror waved through Francis.. "No.., it can't be..., they can't be dead.., Katherine, Vuga., Gary, Adesa.., they can't be dead.. "

"Sorry mate.., you came back at the wrong time.., there is nothing but ashes in Mogula.. "

KINGS(BOOK 2)
EPISODE 3





SHE WAS EATING THE DINNER LIKE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS POISONED. Each forkful was tinier that you'd feed a baby and even then she nibbled it, pausing before taking any more. She was careful too not to allow the food to touch her lips. If this is the way she ate every meal it was easy to see why she was so thin.....

Dillan pull in a wry smile when she lour her face down the slight second he caught her gaze.., she was still as beautiful as the last time he had saw her.., Alluringly, she would blink her eyes shyly from time to time, allowing her eyelashes to flutter like the wings of a butterfly...

If he hasn't seen her without the hijab that day on her room, he would have thought her prettiness was just a result of face mask and expensive products..

He took up his glass of water and gulp a bit down all the way staring at her...
He wasn't sure if his cousin or his uncle had notice the way he was staring at her but he hope they haven't...

"So that man killed my brother.. ?Ali ask

Dillan quickly focus his gaze on him..."Yes uncle, that bastard murdered my uncle in cold blood.. "

With furrowed brows Ali dropped the spoon...,he felt bad when Dillan had told him over the phone that his brother was dead.., though he and Carlos never got along after his convert to Islamic..., his late father hated the Muslim and warned his children never to associate with them but when he needed help, no-one but the Muslims helped him..

Since then, his father and brother had created a wide bridge between them.., his father even sever ties with him..

He remembered how he felt when his father disowned him and excluded him from taking part in his inheritance ...

Carlos only started associating with him after the dead of their father but they didn't get along very much.., they only see each other once in a blue moon, it was more like the wedge their father created between them was still standing ...

""Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun." Fatima, Ali's wife chimed in crossing her fingers on her chest..

"Does the police know this..? Saheed ask curiously

Dillan huffs.. "They do, but they said they can't do anything without evidence.. "

"Isn't it their job to find evidence.. "Fatima stated.. "What is this country turning into.. ?

"My father was a good man uncle.. "Dillan said sarcastically...,he sniff blinking his eye, forcing the tear out.. "He was loved by everyone.., that is why they made him king but he didn't take it, he gave the honour to Desmond instead and they killed Desmond....."

"But.. "Nadia muttered softly.. "I heard this same man you said killed uncle Carlos is the son of the late king.., i mean the king before your brother.. "

"Yes he is.. "Dillan riposte , his eyes staring at her.. "He was that King's son but everyone also know he killed his father five years ago so he can become king.., he flee when he was caught.., and then he came back with the identity of Ferico Carter, we all thought he was a rich man who has come to trade oblivious to us he was a monster in rich sheep skin.. ." He sigh as his eyes met their questioning stare.. "He killed my father and tried to kill me.. "

"Did he burn down the palace or you did that..? Ali asked

"I don't know who did that uncle.., i was shocked when i heard the angry youths and police were looking for me.., he stoop so low to accuse me of such a terrible crime..., i had to run uncle, i had nowhere to go, Mum is not around, so i came here because i know this is the last place the police will come looking for me"

"You did well my boy.., i swear to you that i will bring that murderer to justice..., for such a young age, that killer has made you suffer so much loss.., i strongly support whoever burned down that palace.., whoever he is, he did the right thing.. "

"I believe so too uncle.. "

He grunted and place a hand on Dillans shoulder.. "I will make this right.. "

"Thank you uncle.. "







*******************
Pious curled his lips when that horrible moment of Francis disappearing creep into his head.., he quickly stood up from the bed and walk towards the table.., he dragged the chair from under the table....

Eyes sparkling with fury, he sat down and stare at his mirror..,his reflection looked at him reminding of how he failed in protecting his brother..., he cursed himself as his fingers began to fold into a fist..

Francis is gone.., lost.., he wasn't sure if he will ever see him again and that angered him..

He blames himself, he would have listened when Francis kept blabbering about ogini.., if he had done something earlier, non of what happened would have happened..

"Am sure Francis is fine wherever he is.. "

He glance over his shoulder and saw Giselle., he wanted to believe that, believe Francis will be fine.., he shift his gaze back to the mirror, he bit his lips so hard that he almost wince when he saw his drenched eyes..

Slowly, the tears he's been fighting hard to hold sheen down his cheek.., he sob with heavy breathes..

"Is okay baby.. "Giselle said as she lour down to hold his hands...."We'll find him.. "

"How..? He ask with tears escaping into his mouth.. "You know what happened to the canoes when we set them into the river.., they sank Giselle...

"I know baby..., we'll find another way.., there has to be another way.. "

Pious really wish he can believe that.., he really wished Francis wasn't lost to him forever..

"We'll find him baby.. , i promise.. "






*********************
Rose quickly opened her eyes at the sound of the whistle.., damn.., she hated it, hates him when he blows that stupid whistle..

"Not yet time to sleep.. "John said dropping the whistle on the table..

Rose snorted and tried to free her hands again.., she raced with rage when she realise she was still tied to the damn chair...

"I brought you food.. "John said carrying the tray of food.., slowly, he dropped the food on the floor.. "I thought you might be hungry.. "

"Set me loose John.. "

"So you can run..?

She puffed with slime breathe.. "That's the only way i can enjoy this meal.. "

"What do you think i am Rose..?

"Please John.. "

"Not happening, not until you come to terms with me.."

"You're delusional.., i can't give you half of my husband's inheritance.. "

He suck his teeth and took a few steps backward.. "That's too bad then...,the hen will just have to be fried.. "

"What is that even mean supposed to mean?

Pulling in a deep breathe, he move closer to her.. "Look Rose, i don't have time to waste in jabbering words with you.., i will make this simple, give me what i want and i will consider sparing your life.."

She chuckle.."Am very disappointed in you John.., by now you should know death don't scare me.., I've been to hell and aback .."

"You think you have...?, it's really painful you didn't die when your murderer of a husband smashed your head against the wall.. "

"It's a good thing i survive, it's more like i know men like you will come reaping where they didn't sow.. "

"You think you're tough huh..?

She narrowed her eyes but didn't give him the dignity of a reply..

"You're not as tough as you think you are Rose.., i will break you.. "

"Aren't you tired John.., there are so many opportunities out there, why don't you go out and tap into one.., i don't understand why you're so keen in taking away mine.. "

"You destroyed my plans Rose.., everything was in motion and ready to be achieved.., then you came back from God knows where and destroyed everything..., you ruined everything.. "

"I didn't ruin anything, i only took what's mine.. "

"It's mine too.. "He retorted

"Oh please John, give up.., you're been childish.. "

"Which is why am going to start acting like a mature adult.. "

"Yeah, i advice you do, now get the hell out of my face if you aren't going to set me loose.. "

Infuriated, he slapped her..

She furrowed her brows as she felt the tense effect of the slap...

He grabbed her neck making her gasped for breathe and staring into his red unblinking eyes..

"Listen to me bitch, you're going to do what i tell you because if you don't, i will make you regret it for the rest of your miserable life... "

He let go of her as she fight for breathe...

He glared at her, then he carried the tray of food and walk out of the room..

Breathing heavily Rose stare at the door, she needs to escape, no one is coming for herself, it's up to her to do something.., anything to get away from here...








********************
Darkness enveloped him. The water closed in around him, filling him with a deep dread. He held his breath as long as he could, too long in fact. Red and black splotches danced in front of him and he couldn't remember if his eyes were opened or closed. The coldness he had felt upon entering the water was completely gone. A desperate hot wave had come over him, warming even his frosted toes. His heart was beating rapidly in panic. The urgency for air was more apparent than ever. There weren't red blotches in his field of vision anymore, It was all black.

Slowly he began to fade and fall deep into the darkness that tends to swallow him..

He quickly jolted back when he heard his name, he recognize the voice, it was his brother calling.., he tried to swim his way back but he couldn't move, he was stuck, he tried to shout but no words came out...

A terrible force dragged him down.., fear stricken he woke up..

He blink his eyes trying to recognize where he was.., he look around..,fright waved through him when he realise he was in a net, he look to his side and noticed he wasn't the only one..

Heart pulsating, he recalled how he got here, Taka had sacrifice himself and he..., his mouth began to shiver as the memory of everything that happened hit him hard like someone has delivered a fatal blow to his head..

With trembling hands and pounding heart, he look around again.., his heart almost crushed when he saw a group of men bowing down to an image, a big boiling pot in the temple of the shrine...

"I thought you were never going to wake up.. "

Francis quickly glance over to where the voice came from..,it was a boy probably his age grade, he was also caught up in a net...

"Where... "His mouth quivered as he look around, the place was nowhere he has seem before, was it ogini's shrine... "Where are we..? He asked with pants breathe..

"Can you see those men..?

Francis shift his gaze to where he was pointing and he nodded...

"They're the worshippers of Hakundad, they are offering sacrifices to him.. "

He glance at them again, their scary look gave him more fright than he hoped for... "Are we the sacrifice..?

"Mm-Mmm.. "

"But.., but...

"But what..?, You think because you're a KA-RU you cannot die.. "He scoffs... "This is Hakundad, story is he was once ogini's lover until she betrayed him.., so people think if they offer KA-RUs to Hakundad as sacrifice, Hakundad will in return grant them long life.."

Fear engulfed Francis, he look around again..

"Stop looking around, no-one is coming to save you, not even ogini.. "

"I cannot die.. "

"Yeah, i also use to believe that until they found me.. "

"Are you also a KA-RU? Francis ask curiously

"I thought you wouldn't ask.., Am a KA-RU just like you.. ,My name is Jerry.. "He suck his teeth.. "People don't even call me that anymore.., so you can just call me what people call me.. "

"And what is that..?

"Sigolo, meaning the forest boy.. "

Francis heart skipped when one of the men turn to face their direction..

"Don't be scared.."Jerry said... "Fear only makes them pick you sooner than you expected.. "

"How are you so cool.. ?

"Because finally KA-RU.., death has found us.. ,at least am given the opportunity to spend my last minutes in this world smiling.., i advise you do same.. "

KINGS(BOOK 2)
EPISODE 2






JOHN LIFTED THE BOTTLE OF SCOTCH FROM THE TABLE IN THE ROOM, Waving it back and forth slightly in a silent invitation to his captive...

"Want to drink..? He ask taking a swig..

Rose blew out a breathe... "Let me go John.. "

"Let you go..?, he chuckled dryly... "No baby you aren't going anywhere.. "

"What exactly do you want from me..? She asked releasing her hands from the rope, slightly infuriated

He grunted and dropped the bottle on the table...."I told you Rose.."He said turning round to face her.. "You're here to pay for everything you took away from me... "

"You keep blabbing that shit, yet you don't tell me what the hell i took from you.. "

He sniff"Did you know what i would have gained if Annabel had marry that stupid husband of yours.. ?

Rose sigh.. "Yeah.., you and your LovePeddler of a sister wanted my husband's wealth.. "

"Bup bup.., Father's in-law wealth.. "

"Same thing.. "

John raised his gaze towards the ceiling as if his next words were hidden there....,he had planned out everything, had everything under control until the bitch showed up.., came back from the dead and ruined his plan... "Your little escapade ruined all my chances of happiness.. "He said leveling his gaze with hers

He grunted and took a few steps backward to the table, he took up the bottle again and took another swig...

"Well too bad that happened.. "Rose said.. "So what are you going to do now, torture me..?

He scoff.. "No my dear.., i wouldn't gain anything torturing you.., i have a better plan for you.. "

"Well if the better plan doesn't include me getting out of here, then i suggest you just end it here.. "

He threw her a smile right across his cheeks.. ,he dropped the bottle and walk up to her.., he squat to meet her level...

"You're really beautiful Rose... "He said rubbing her legs with his hand..

Unsettled, she tried to shift her legs..

The edge of his mouth kicked up in a cocky half smile..., he rose to his feet...."You do know there are many things i can do to you to get my revenge.. "

His eyes roam over to her breast.., he wonder how it will feel having her in bed with him.., their naked body pressing against each other......

"But of the ways, i chose one of which i know very well you'll like.. "

"Stop blabbing.., go straight to the point.. "She said weighing all the pros and cons available for her to escape before this psychopath do something to her.. ,worst case scenario raping her.., he'll never try that with her..

"Easy dear.., your impatience might just make me change my mind., and you do know what i will resort to.. "

"Do you think you'll get away with this..?

He shrug "Is someone coming to find you...?, i don't think so.. "

Rose swallowed, a part of her knows he's right, but she really hoped that someone is kind enough to notice she's missing, kidnapped by her husband's dead ex brother...

"Do you have any idea how i felt when my sister died.., killed by you.. "

"Yeah.., i guess you were sad because you lost your puppet.. "

"Annabel wasn't my puppet.. "

"No.., she was a means to achieve your goals which is the same thing as been a puppet.. "

"It wasn't just my goal, it was our goal.., our dream to be rich.. "

Rose snort.. "Do you even take a good look at yourself..., how could you use your sister as a bait to catch the big fish., a fish which you didn't even nurture... "

"There are two different people in this world.., the ones who struggled to get somewhere, and the ones who gets there by been crooks and cunning.. "

"So what category do you fall on..?

"Am just the smart guy who knows how to get what he wants.. "

"And you think by bringing me here against my wish is going to get you what you want.. "

"Exactly.. "

She laugh but only lasted a second... "You're not getting my husband's properties.. "

"Seem to me they're yours now.. "

"Well that even makes it harder because you're not getting a dine.."

"Even at the expense of your life..?

She wanted to reciprocate in his own tone but then his question shut her up....

"I guess you don't have an answer for that.. "

She curl her lips, her fingers digging deep into her palm..

"You know i thought my dream was over until your father-in-law died and his son, your husband arrested for murder.. .."He took a slight pause waiting for her to talk but when she said nothing, he continued "Right then, i re-strategize ..

"And kidnapping me was your great strategy.. "She interjects.

"That was the start.. "

"What's the end game here John..?,You want me to give my husband's inheritance to you.. "

"Brilliant.....,as a matter of fact, i want half of the property.. "

She lour her face and look up again to meet his gaze... "What is this John, some kind of joke..?

"Do you think is a joke.., do you think i brought you here to crack jokes with you so you could laugh.. "

"Yeah.. ,and i think you're really funny... "

With furrowed brows, he crunched down to meet her chair level... "If i were you sweetheart, i will take this serious.., i want fifty percent of everything.."

"That's absurd.. "

He wipe off seat from his brows as he rose back to his feet... "Perhaps you've forgotten my sister was married to your husband before you killed her.. "

"I didn't kill her.. "

"Your presence did...., and that singular act of Annabel getting married to your murderer of a husband entitled her to some of the property.. "

"The marriage was a sham which procures it noid and void..,your sister was entitled to nothing and so are you.. "

"Oh i will.., i will surely get what am asking for.. "

"Well the only way you're getting that is if you put a bullet in my head.."

"If that's what you want..,i can grant you your request.. "







*******************
The loud sound of the gunshot quickly woke her up from her sleep...
She breathe heavily, and quickly placed her right arm on her pounding heart....,she look around wondering if he was in the room, there she realise it was just a dream, why does he keep taunting her even after he was dead.., when will he leave her to live in peace...

She can never live in peace, she knew that for a fact, Carlos destroyed her life, killed every life she molded for herself when she was a kid.., after the dead of her parent, she had lived for revenge, to avenge their death and restore back what was taken from them.., she finally did it, she killed the bastard but it had made her restless..

Her heart skipped for a moment when a knock came on the door.., jolting back to reality, she stood up from the couch and trot towards the window.., she peep, she sigh, a sigh of relief when she saw who was knocking..

She hesitated a bit, her dream hitting her again as if someone delivered a fatal blow to her face...

Slowly, she unlock the door..

"Are you okay..?kess ask when he noticed her expression..

She didn't reply, she just left the way so he can walk in..
She quickly close the door when he was in.., she knew after what she did, living in his house was a risk, a risk he knew but willing to take...

"You don't seem fine.., did someone come here..?

"No.. "She said faintly.. "I was sleeping, your knock woke me up.. "

He didn't believe, the few days she had stayed with him, he had study her and he knew damn well when she was lying but he wasn't inclined to ask any more questions, she had been through alot but he couldn't get the fact that she admitted to killing Carlos from his head....,that singular act had made her a murderer but he can't arrest her..

Deep down in him he'd wanted the same thing, deep down he'd thought the chief deserve it for everything he did to her and everyone he harmed..

He was a policeman and he'd sworn to bring law breakers to justice.., she took the law into her hands when she killed Carlos but he can't do anything.., this was one woman he will go overboard for.., each day that passes, he feels more attracted to her, he wasn't sure if it's because he pitied her for everything she'd been through..

"How was work..?

Her question jolted him back to his senses..
"Same as always..., we found one of the chief's bodyguards body.., his name was Bobby.. "

"I know that one.. ..,always stick to him like a pest.. "Sonia said

"And i got a new partner... "

"Hope he isn't like the former.. "

He smile.. "Let's hope he isn't.. "

"So who killed him.., i mean Bobby..?

"We don't know yet.., we found his body on the road.. "

"Do you think it was one of Carlos numerous enemies..?

"I wouldn't rule that out, it's true Carlos had so many enemies but he's dead..,who... "He took a pause when he saw the sudden change in her expression

"Has the body been recognized..? She asked with doleful eyes..

"No.., they're still working on that.. "

"Do you think they'll traced his death back to me..?

Kess exhales.. "Look Sonia.., i perfectly understand what you did.., that man hurt you.., i would have probably done the same if i were you.. "

She sniff and a tear dropped from her eye..,then it began to rain down her cheek..

Not sure what to do, he held her hands and lean her head on his shoulder to cry on...,his care, his over concern was doing more harm to him than good and he knew that..







*********************
"Come in.. "The doctor said as he dropped his pen

The door creaks open and a nurse probably in her early thirties entered the office..

"How's the boy..? The doctor asked

"He's stable now sir..., but he's crying for his mum.. "

"What about the woman that brought him...?

"She left the moment we took the boy in for treatment..,but i recognize the boy.. "

"You know him..?

"Yes sir.. "She quickly placed the newspaper she was holding on the table...

The doctor took up the news paper.., he widen his eyeballs surprised at what he saw... "He's a prince..?

"Was a prince.., he's the late king son, His name is Gerald.. "

"But...,both his parents are dead, his grandfather Carlos is said to be missing, his uncle Dillan is said to has run away from Akpatu after he burnt down the palace, and his grandmother isn't in Akpatu either..

"We can take him to the king... "The nurse suggested

"You think he'll accept him considering what his uncle, Dillan did..?

"He's a kid sir, and am very sure he knows nothing of what happened..."

The doctor sigh... "If you think so, then let's wait a bit, if the woman who brought him here doesn't come back, we'll take him to the king.. "












**********************
He flexed his fingers as he stare at the pictures in the wall....
"Who's this.. ?He ask pointing at a picture at the top..

"That's the present king.. "She answered walking towards him.. "His name is Pious, son of the late king Godfrey who died five years ago....

"What about him..? He ask pointing at another..

"That's his younger brother, Francis.., the story is, this two brothers witnessed the dead of their father and the men who killed their father sent men after them.., the two brothers were chased into the bush where they got separated, the younger one was said to have fallen into a river called the ogini river, while the eldest was rescued by a hunter called Azuk, who later informed his uncle and he was taken to the city...., five years later, both brothers came back as different people, the eldest took another identity for himself..

"Ferico Carter.. "He cut in

"Yes.., and the other Octova... "

"And that must be the chief...?

"Yes.., his name is Carlos.., he is the most feared man in this town, but he's been missing recently but i think he's dead.. "

"What about the other men..?

"Those are the other chiefs.., but they're all dead.. "

"So many deaths in one town...,Who is she.. ?he asked

"That's Giselle, the girl Pious came home with.., and the other girl in the picture close to her is Sonia.., from what i gathered, she is one of chief's Carlos unfortunate victim..., i believed she came back for revenge since she tried to kill the chief at a campaign.. "

"And this one..?

"That's Rose, a wife to Chief Buzo's son Jacob who is now in prison for killing his father.. "

"And this people..?

"Zara and Bianca.., both are friends who came to the palace together.., Zara had a relationship with Desmond in the past and it resulted to a son, Gerald..,Zara killed Desmond for reasons i don't know yet, she was arrested and taken to the station, there she died..., the truth about her killer wasn't revealed until a few days ago.., a corrupt police officer killed her.., his name is Philip, he's in jail now..

"And this must be Desmond wife..?

"Her name is Claude.., she left for her father's palace after Dillan became king.. "

"What about them..?

"James and Rita.., James was chief Mayo's nephew, Mayo wanted to marry Rita but was disappointed on his wedding day, Rita dump him at the alter.., the chief died that day, stabbed to death at his own wedding..."

"And this women..?

"Edna and Kahefa.., Edna was king Godfrey wife, mother to the Godfrey boys, Kahefa a wife to Godfrey's brother.., unfortunately both are dead, they died in the bomb blast that brought down the palace... "

"And the boy..?

"That's Max, The Godfrey boys cousin.., Kahefa's son.. "

"Everyone here is in one way or another involved in the deaths that has been rocking this town.. "He said turning to face her

"That's true.., but the chiefs started dying when the Godfrey brothers returned to town.. "

"Our first suspect... "He said striking Pious picture with a marker..
