DEAD TRAP
EPISODE 3

BRAD SWUNG HIMSELF up over the low rock wall and using table for covers, ran towards her in a crouch, he ducked under the tablecloth... She was kneeling beside man, pressing her hand tightly against his neck, her eyes wild with terrors as the man's blood pulsed thick through her fingers, even in danger she was trying to help...
She glanced up, saw Brad, and a raw kind of rage twisted through her features as she reached for a fallen carving knife....
Brad raise his finger to his lips, shook his head, but her fist curled around the knife even as she pressed her other hand to the man's neck...
Brad crawled closer... "Leave him"He whispered harshly.. "He is gone"
Her gaze fall to the fallen man's face and a shudder ran through her body...
There was another volley of shots, screams.... Someone started to pull the tables away, bodyguards returned fire....
A fresh burst of adrenaline kicked through Brad's blood, no time to waste, he quickly grabbed her arms but she lashed at him with the knife, almost slicing across his biceps...
"Persia listen.... "
Shock flashed through her through her face at the sound of the wrong pronunciation of her name.. But she lunged at him anyway, this time the blade going right for his heart
"Jesus... "Brad muttered irritated, he roll sideways twisting her arm sharply back until the knife dropped from her fist and her cheek was forced flat against the ground, he hooked his arm around her neck, squeezing tight, he held her hand in position with his other hand until he felt her go suddenly limp..
Then slowly he dragged her across the rough paving and rolled her over to the low wall, her body thudded sofly onto the grass on the other side...
As he began to scramble after her, a man in a balaclava dived at him..... Brad swung around, pulled out the small dagger like knife and slice the man clean across the throat...
Hot blood gushed out onto him as the man's body slumped forward into his arms...
Bile rose in Brad throat and for a moment he was unable to move..
A fresh volley of gunfire brought him back to reality, he quickly pulled the man off, clambered over the wall and bent to pick up Qetsiyah.... Slinging her limp body over his shoulders, he ducked into the shadows, disappearing into a night black and thick with the smell of fresh death and smoke...
As he ran, thunder rumbled.....
He can't believe he just killed a man, he killed a man, he'd broken his vow of ten years...... She'd made him do it...
The princess reminded him of a woman from his darkest past, and now she was hurtling him right back into the terrible black nightmare of it all....
Thunder growled again, then hot wind began to gust out.. He realise suddenly his GPS and sat phone were missing from his hip,..... must have lost them in the tussle....
He had no time to worry about that now, his only goal right now was to reach his cessna, get up into the air and over the border before the weather or Ghaffar hit again.....
Something deep told him he isn't going to make it...


*******************************
First there was only blackness, pain, then as consciousness filtered back, Qetsiyah realised her head was hanging down, hair swinging, blood filling her cheeks, her body rhythmically bumping against something....
She bug out her eyes as she realised she was been carried over a man's shoulder...
A twig sliced across her brow as her abductor began to descend a steep hill, stones clattering ahead of him.. She tried to pull her vision into focus.. It was night....dark.. Apart from moon and starlight.. She could see the ground below, parts of her abductor's body.. His legs, his boots.. He was wearing safari shorts, thick socks, a machete at his hip.
Panic struck like a hatchet as memory slammed into her... The attack at the lodge.. Men in hoods.. Shooting, blood, screams.. Barked commands in strange language.. The delegate lying under the table, blood spurting from a gunshot, wound in his neck, she realised with horror her fingers were sticky with the man's blood...
"Leave him, he's gone"the fierce whisper of her attacker came vividly in her head... She'd tried tl stab him with the knife and he'd grabbed her around the neck and her world had gone back... He kidnapped her....
She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to gather herself.. Fight.. Flee...her head keep screaming at her.. But where to?
She opened her eyes again and tried to carefully lift her head in order to access more of her surroundings...
He felt her body.... "Don't even try it, don't move, fighting me will Make it worse"he barked at her...
His voice was rough, deep and it frightened her.... "What do you want from me? Her voice came out hoarse..
"Hold still, my cessna is just down there, on the plain.. "
Fear spurted afresh through her and she struggled wildly against his grip.... "Who are you, where are you taking me.? ,if it's ramson you want, i can.....
"Jesus woman, i don't want to hurt you.. "
She kicked at him hard, grabbing a handful of his short hair, twisting...
He bit his lips viciously, he swing her forward and toss her to the ground with a thud....
Qetsiyah grimace, pains sparkling through her rips.. "You bastard.. "She hollered..... She hissed as soon as she manage a breathe... "What do you want from me?
"My name is Oliver.... Brad Oliver, your brother sent me to get you"he bent forward, hands on knees struggling to catch his own breath...
She rolled her eyes at him, he was big, well over six feet, even in the milky starlight she could see he was fair, square jawed, broad shouldered.. Built, a rifle was strapped across his chest, his pale khaki shirt was dark with sweat, his sleeve ripped off at the shoulders,and she saw blood smeared down his arm.... Something in her stilled.... "My brother?she ask quietly
"Ayura... "
"You know Ayura?
"Yes, i owe the damn guy, C'Mon, get up, they are going to be here any second.. "
"Who?
"Amal Ghaffar, bloody one armed jackal and his wild pack of dogs"
Ice slid through her veins.. "Amal.. "Her voice came out in a whisper... "The moor's son, he's alive?
Brad threw her an odd look.... "You didint know?
Qetsiyah stare at him. "How do i know you don't work for him....?
Brad swallowed hard... "Damn it woman, i just told you your brother sent me......."he gave a snort.... "figures your brother might keep that from you, Amal Ghaffar has been hiding in Africa for the past two years, ever since your other brother Tariq shot off his arm in france and he got himself onto the world's most wanted list, Ayura has been hunting him via an underground mercenary network, but every time Ayura's men get close, Amal and his pack move first.... "He explained and held his hand to her...
Qetsiyah stare at it, anger curling into her chest... "You are saying my brothers knew all this time that Amal was out here.. Alive?
"That's exactly what am saying princess... Look we need to move, they are going to be up our asses as soon as day breaks and they will find our tracks"
Qetsiyah got awkwardly at her feet.. He caught her arm as dizziness spun her world and she stumbled.. She held in to him, steadying herself as pain sparked through her head.. She realised her gown was ripped up to her hip, her legs scraped,one of her heels has broken in half.... "Why would they keep this from me?
"Probably because they know you will act like this..... "he snapped.... He breathe out... "why don't you ask them yourself when we get out of here"..
He try to usher her forward but she yanked free....
"Those other men....
"They are all Amal's.... "He interjects.... "A band of rogue mercs who want your blood.... Ayura got wind via the underground that a bounty has been put on your head... Amal wants it, literally on a plate if he can't kill you himself"
Blood drained from her face"How.......how do i know you are telling the truth, that you are not....
"You dont... "He said brusquely.... "But make up your mind fast princess, because it's me or those men and am not waiting... "With that he spun around and started Marching down the ridge alone not even bothering to glance over his shoulder to see if she was coming...
Fear propelled her after him, her lopsided heels spiking deep into soft, drought dry sand and making her stagger..
Thunder clapped suddenly and she ducked.. Wincing as the sound reverberated right thriher bones.. Black clouds were beginningto blot out the stars, the storm was closing in...
"Wait!, She yelled,trying to run faster, floundering even more on her uneven heels, but he kept moving ahead.....
She increase her pace... Thinking deep in her head if she can trust this man... But he was right.. It was he or them.. And she know them isn't an option.. If she needs to survive she needs to be with this stranger... The dangerous stranger.

EPISODE 123

ROSE SNORT IRRITATED as Jacob wheezing and snoring sound proliferate ...
Frustrated, disturbed.. Greatly uneasy and unrest, she sat up and glower at him.. She wonder if he knows there was actually a second person he was disturbing from having a good nice sleep with his obnoxious loud snores....
She was inclined to hit him but then an idea cross her mind.... She drool her hands on the bed for his phone, she streamed....
Careful not to touch him, she slowly begin to drool her hand underneath his body.... She puff when she found nothing... She quickly look ahead of him and there it was on top the drawer....
Without hesitation she step out of the bed and walk to the drawer, slowly, not making any grashing and clattering noise with her feet... She didn't want him to wake up to ruin her plans....
She took a deep breathe when she finally pick up the phone....
Frustration etched on her face as she realise it was password....
She rolled her eyes and was at the verge of dropping it... Then she begin to think what the password might be.. 'she thought of putting her name....
She huffs and type in her name.....
She groan softly when it vibrated incorrect password.....
She scoffs when she realise the stupid thing she just did, the bastard will never use her name as password and he will never use his, that will be too simple to get.... '
A roguish feeling surged her spines.. She jut her chin as she weigh the cons and pros of what the password might be....
She pout with a low groan... A deadly feeling of frustration swept through her as nothing came to her head....
She quickly drop the phone, she stare at Jacob who was still snoring with mouth slightly open... She was about to climb on the bed when a thought occurred to her.... She pick up the phone again....
Her inner mind keep screaming to her that what she is thinking might be the password.... With curiosity and eagerness, she decided to give it a try..... She quickly type money as the password.....
Her mouth slack-jawed when the phone opened.....
"Oh my..... "She murmured....
Without ado, she scroll to his contacts...
She frown when she saw the contact saved as Charles... The Charles with the ferminine voice, the bitch who had called him loverboy over the phone, same Charles Jacob said was just a co worker... She was inclined to know who the Charles really is.... She is very sure she is the bitch who has been screwing her husband......
With a big mind, she type some words on the message icon using Charles as the receiver....
She pause wondering if it was the right thing to do... She knit her brows, if her instincts are right, this was the opportunity to meet that bitch... Without a second thought.. She touch send...
She bit her lips when the message delivered...
She quickly deleted it and drop the phone.....
She will be seeing that bitch in the morning.....


***************************
With shaking feet Levi continue to run... He stop when he saw a shadow showing on the fire lamp....
Heart pounding, he quickly retrace his steps... He hid himself thinking of the way to turn next... That must be a guard standing there, he was sure of it, he can't risk getting caught.....
He slowly began to walk back not making any noise with his legs... He wouldn't want to draw the attention of the guard...
Legs trembling, he turn around to see if anyone was in sight....
Shock swept through when his upper arm hit a rod.. The rod fell down and clatters on the floor...
His heart raced at tremendous speed When a baritone voice sounded..... "Who is there.. "a few pace from him....
Confused, greatly in a state of bewilderment.. He decided to run back to the slave currow....
He pants with great fear when he noticed the shadow with a fire lamp were drawing near....
Without a second thought.. He started running not caring to look back and not sure if he was going the right way to the currow.....


***************************
A guard passing by checking if the other guards were in position quickly saw the light shining from the princess room... He took a closer look wondering why the room was opened.... With a quick pace, he walk to the room... Shock engulf him when he saw a guard on the floor.... He quickly rushed to him, his hands clenched when he noticed the blood dropping from his head.... "Hey.. Hey, wake up.. "He said shaking him,he check his pulse to see if he was still alive... He took in a deep drag when he felt his pulse... He quickly drop the pulse and check the corners of the room....
"The princess has escaped... "He muttered.... He quickly ran outside aad raised alarm........


****************************
Spine tinkling, rips roaring.... Francis could feel his blood curdling as he ran through shady and hazy light and dark corridors ....he cursed himself for forgetting such a tiny detail, how could he forget the direction the guard has given to him...
He race to a stop when he saw fire lights approaching...then he began to hear the thunderous and raving foot on the ground... It doesn't sound like the foot of one guard, they were in group....
Fear grip his spines.. His feet grash and tremble.. His fingers clenching against his hip....
He wonder if they know already he isn't in the room.... He bit his lips when he quickly remenber he didn't close the door or did he....
He turn around and decide to run back to where he was running from... Just then by his left he saw an entrance... A slim and narrow corridor.... He quickly rushed in....
His head spin with disappointment when he noticed the other side of it was blocked....
The guards drew closer.... Heart racing fast..his feets and hands stirring and exhilarating... He squeezed his legs and fold his hands across his chest.... His heart pounding against his fist... An instant sweat fueled his face... His body tremble and began to shake when he saw the firelights closing in....
He watch in utter fear and quietness as the first set of guards passed by.. Then the second and the third......
He breathe heavily, sucking in all the air he can take...
He poke out his head when he noticed there were no more fire lamps, he quickly creep out from the tunnel......
He shudder when he felt something running in his body... He quickly shake it off... Drooling his hands all over his shirt...
He emanated when he felt there was nothing there again... He scan his eyes around.... Then he look closely at the side the guards has come from... Without hesitation he began to head that way....


*****************************
King Jafar groan from the bed as the knock keep coming, with a bare body he shouted "Come inside you fools.... "
The door quickly open and the head guard rushed in....
King Jafar bug his eyes as he saw the uneasy expression etched on his face.... "What is it? He ask anxiously
"They have escaped....? The head guard said with clenched teeth
"Who have escaped....?
"The two boys and the princess... "
King Jafar quickly stood up.... "How was that possible...? He boomed out
"I don't know yet, but i believe the guards have lots of explanation to do...... "
King Jafar curl his lips, then he clenched his fist... "That boy"He growl with furious eyes.. Rage drowning deep in him..... "I want them found.... "He lashed out greatly infuriated.....
"Yes great king.... "The head guard replied and began to walk out of the room...
"Bring me that boy, i will rip out his heart myself..... "King Jafar snarled with rage..
The head guard lour his head then he close the door and left the room....


***************************
In a formation the guards began to match scanning their eyes in every corner
They stopped when they saw the head guard approaching.....
"The king want the boys and the princess found and alive... "The head guard said....
"Some of you go that way, others go that way, the rest of you follow me.... "He added..
Without hesitation, the guards began to dispatch to their different directions.... They have one goal,find the boys and the princess....

***************************
King Dafuda stare around, the place was hazy... He began to walk around.. Then he heard his name... He quickly turn around...
Shock swept through him when he saw King Jafar holding his daughter....
"Father save me..... "Katherine shouted
He quickly rushed to King Jafar... "Please spare my daughter, i will give you the goldmine, i just need more time...... "
"there is no time, am tired of waiting.. You had your chance.. It's over now.. "King Jafar retorted then he slit Katherine throat.....
"No... Katherine.... "King Dafuda shouted as Katherine lifeless body fall to the ground......
"I warned you Dafuda, you dared me"
King Dafuda continue screaming until he woke up from the dream.......
"Katherine KATHERINE... "He muttered with pounding heart

*************************
Panting... Katherine continue running ......she continued to run into the dark... There was no way out, all the corridors only lead to more corridors..... But she knew something for sure, she isn't going back to that room, she will rather die than do that...
She look back.. Fear grip her spines when she saw the fire lamps light... Then shadows.... Just then she knew they were searching for her.....she quickly look forward to continue running then she hit someone.... They lost balance and they both fell to the floor....
Both look at each other as they quickly stood up....
"Princess... "Levi blared out..
"Who are you? She queried
"Don't even think of running... "A guard said from behind them holding a sword in his hands...
They both shiver, they both look around then they noticed he was the only guard with them.....
"For your own sake, you better follow me quietly.... "The guard said...
Levi shudder wondering what he can possibly do....
Katherine glare at him... Then a bad idea ring in her head.. She look around, her eyes fixed on the fire lamp placed in a molded block beside her..
She glower her eyes at the guard as he came closer....
When she noticed he was close enough, she quickly pick up the fire lamp and smash it in his face..
The guard scream as the ignition of the fire splattered in his eyes....
But Katherine wasn't done.. She hit him with it and the oil splash in his body....
With furious eyes, she threw the fire still burning in his body.....
"Princess.... "Levi muttered with wide eyes....
The guard began to scream as his body began to burn.......
His screams echoed in the walls... He began to run with the fire.. Just then he fell on the floor. Trembling... His flesh squeezing,burning, his blood drying up....
"Lets go... "Katherine said as she caught sight of the guards....
Levi quickly followed her....

EPISODE 17

WITH A BROODING FACE, POPE EMANATED, then he rolled his eyes to face her again... "And how do you propose i do that... ?
"C'Mon,you and i know you have resources, you can tell your boys to put out a search for her.. "Sharon replied with a snort....
"I don't have any boys, what I have are partners....
"Whatever they are... "Sharon interjects... She wring her lips.... "Just tell them to help us find Manny.... "
Pope turn away his gaze, he gritted then he turn to face her again.... "Why are you so interested in finding Manny, the last time i checked you hated her.... "
"I don't hate her...... "She snapped......
"Well if you don't, you wouldn't have told me to snatched her car away from her....."
Sharon huffs, she has told him to snatch Manny's car away from her now he was using it against her.. So original...... "There is a big difference between hate and jealousy.... "
"Sounds like hate to me.... "Pope said with clenched teeth focusing his attention on the steering
"Okay fine, whatever, but Manny is still my friend.... "She said in defence..... She hates it when Pope use her own doings against her.... She jut her chin waiting for his reply
"Forget about her Sharon, you know she is not worth it....."Pope said with irritation in his voice....
Sharon drew aback and reclined her back on the seat of the car..... "So that's it, you aren't helping me.... "
"Like i said, Manny is not worth it, like you told me, all she has done for you was show you how classy she is.... You said yourself that she flunt her ego.. Her flashing things... Her exotic dresses and gauzy jewelries right in your face...."
Sharon swallow hard, her face etching out what she was feeling inside... Manny had look down on her.... She takes the highlights on every occasion.... She was the glassy face, the rest of them were just thrash and local ...highly downgraded..... She puff at the dense feeling of it... The shimmering thoughts of every nonsense she has been sucking in that has eluded her came running back to her head like a loose tap..... She emit at the thought of everything......
"You still want to find her after everything she has done to you....? Pope ask putting a pause to the thoughts that clouds her head....
She didn't reply, she just knit herr brows and bit her lips, so hard that she almost grimaced....
"I for one don't believe Manny is missing, she is probably hiding from someone, who knows maybe a man she has extorted money from.. Now she is keeping a low profile........"
"And what does your thinking says about the missed calls Mary has been pumping into her phone for the past few days.....? Sharon ask
Pope scoffs, then he glance at her... "Well sweetheart that's simple.... ,Who are the first people anyone she is running from will go to...?
Sharon jut her teeth as she thought about the answer to the question....
"Don't think too hard... You and Mary are the first people her pursurer will seek..so if she is keeping a low profile.. She can't tell you two where she is....so it's really stupid that you want to find her.. My advice, don't put yourself in more trouble than you already are.... "
"If someone was after her, he.. They would have showed up at our door since she disappeared..... "
"Don't be naive sweetheart... If my instincts are right... Because they haven't come now doesn't necessarily mean they won't come later... But before that inevitable visit happens, i will like you to move in with me.... "
Sharon scoffs... "So this is what all this ranting about Manny running from someone is all about.. Just to give me a reason to move in with you.. "She boomed out
"Doesn't sound like a bad idea... Besides we are dating... "
"We aren't dating.... "She interjects harshly.....
"Oh that's harsh.. "Pope muttered with a huff
"I have a boyfriend Pope.... "She added with a frown encroach on her forehead
"A boyfriend you feel nothing for... "He shift his gaze to her.... "You and i know you agreed to date Tyler.... Taipo...
"Its Taiwo.... "Sharon cut in...
"Yeah whatever his name is... You are just dating him to get rid of me.. Which is something you are so bad at.. Because sweetheart you are mine... That's the level of our attraction.... You can't outrun it, it will always swallow you up and you will come back to my embrace ...
"You are such an arrogant haughty, overweening annoying bastard... "Sharon retorted with furrowed brows..
Pope suck his teeth... "So many words for your love.. Totally unfair sweetheart..... "he said with a wry smile
"If you think am coming back to you.. You better start rethinking because that sweetheart, is never happening .....
"Ouch.... Am defeated"


****************************
Mary quickly look at from the window at the sound of a car horn outside, she snort when she realise it was just a moving vehicle probably horning to warn anyone to get out of the way...
She lean back on the chair... Jacob was gone now. He was he was going to take photographs at an occasion.. He was lonely...the stench and thin void of the house etched the feeling of extreme loneliness in her face.... She sigh,a sigh of extreme fatigue and and total bewilderment.....
Her doleful eyes stare at Manny's diary in her front... She pick it up still wondering who Sun is.... Jacob already said he is not sun.. It would have been easy if Jeremy was still alive to tell them if he was sun or not.....
A hazy feeling of disappointment rises in her head.. Her fingers cramps at the rear imagination of it.....
She quickly flip the sheets of the diary to the very beginning.. She was fully optimistic she will find something.. Anything that can lead her to Manny.. Or give her a hint.....
There was nothing tangible on the first sheet.. She flip to the second praying she finds something....
She beem a smile to herself.. Not believing Manny had actually wrote the day they met down.... Stated on the diary... Manny had explained She and Sharon were her best friends......
She quickly flip to the next and then to the next when she found nothing worth reading, she turn the sheets to the middle...
She suck her teeth as she saw a name.....Senator Bassey.... ..
She try to read what was written about him but Manny has use abbreviations. Some she understood.. The rest she didn't... She wonder how Manny knew the senator...
Senator Bassey is a very known senator in the country.....
She flip to the next sheet, she bug her eyes when she saw what Manny has wrote underneath the senators name..... "And i ask him to pay three million naira for the pictures... "Were the words written underneath the name....
Mary gritted.. As she try to read meaning to it.... She wonder why Manny was asking three million naira from the senator....
Slack jawed.. She covered her mouth.... Was Manny blackmailing him.... She wonder the mess Manny has gotten herself into...
Just then a knock came on the door.. She quickly stood up and peep from the window.... She took a deem drag when she realised it was Sharon...
Without hesitation she opened the door.....
"Welcome... "Mary said with grind teeth...
Not bothering to reply, Sharon went in....
"Where have you been?Mary ask irritated at her character.... Her consistent attitude.....
"What do you care...? Sharon ask back with muffled jaw
"What do i care... Our friend is missing, the least you could do is help me find her or find a hint that leads to her...
"You think i haven't been doing that....? Sharon retorted
"You think you are the only one who cares if something happens to Manny? She added infuriated...
Mary gasp at her own outburst...... "I called you, why didn't you answer...?
"Well maybe because i don't need your persistence calls to distract me"Sharon resounded
Mary suck in, she gritted, turn away her gaze then turn to face her again.... "What have you been up to Sharon, i have been here cracking my head in figuring out where Manny might be why you were out there doing God knows what... What is even wrong with you....? Mary lashed out
"You think Manny is worth this.... You think she is worth finding... You can't even begin to imagine the things Manny has done to us... Don't even think for a splint second that Manny cares about you.... "
"Yes... You keep saying that.... "Mary muttered with a huff..... "You keep saying Manny isn't the friend i think she is, but whenever i ask why, you totally snub it"
Sharon scoffs... "You want to know.. You really want to know... "
"Yes i want to know"mary boomed out
"Well i will tell you, you remember that night, the night you caught Francis fu*king that LovePeddler at the back of the club.... That was all Manny, Manny set him up, he paid that slut to have him drugged,and she paid another bitch to call you there so you can witness everything....
"Manny will never do that? Mary said with impugn...
"Well she did it, she did it to prove her point that all men are cheat.... That's The kind of person Manny is...... "
"I don't believe you.... "Mary muttered...
"Believe it or not she did it, she succeeded in driving a wedge between you and Francis.... Manny doesn't care about anyone's happiness, she doesn't care about your feelings.. She cares about no one but herself.. Manny is selfish... She sees herself as high and mighty... Manny isn't our friend,we are just pawns for her entertainment.. Manny...
"Stop.... "Mary lashed out...... "Just stop... "
Sharon knit her brows..."You wanted to hear the truth, well that's the truth"

@ Silver1996.

A nice story you've got there.. Thanks for sharing it with us..

Can I make a suggestion.... ? Thank you..

Can you find another word for "blared out"? You use that word a lot... Try to spice things up using other words(synonyms)... D same goes for "exhales"... Over repetition of those words kinda detracts from punch ur story is carrying....

Can you also resort to using simple grammars that z easy to understand? .. Words that make your content flows better...

Noted, thanks

DEAD TRAP
EPISODE 2

BRAD OLIVER CHECKED THE NAME ATTACHED TO A SMALL PLATE ON THE BUNGALOW DOOR....... Qetsiyah Arif, delegate, clearwater.. He knew about the nonprofit that helped bring fresh water and farming aid to improvised communities in Africa.. They did good job. He hadn't known the sa'ud haran princess was involved in that work.. He knew very littel about her other than she was a high maintenance, high society player with looks to kill...
The lock was very easy to pick, Brad edged open the bungalow door, inside the air conditioner hummed, cooling the air... White cotton sheets on the bed had been turned down, a foil wrapped chocolate nestled on the pillow alongside a miniature bottle of cream liquor made from tge fruit of the African marula tree...
The princess cell phone lay atop the covers, it was buzzing..
Brad went over to the bed, the soles of his boots squeaking slightly on highly polished stone.. The buzzing stopped..he pick the phone up, eight unanswered calls probably from her brother.. Ayura..trying to alert his sister.. Letbher know that he was coming for her...
Irritated, he tossed her phone back onto the covers, now the job of convincing her to come peacefully would fall on him....
Using the barrel of his rifle, he edged the muslin drapes aside slightly and peered out the window... Down the pathway, under the branches of huge nyala trees.. He could hear drumming, singing, ululating..
His plans was to go down there and identify his target from the shadows... Once he had confirmation Qetsiyah was among the guest.. He'd head back to this bungalow and wait for her here
He open her closet, cocktail dresses in exotic and gauzy fabrics hung in a rainbow of colors... At the bottom of the closet was a high end and luggage set and five pairs if sandals with ridiculous heels....
Brad open one of her drawers, looking for thick socks.. Once she returned to the bungalow, he didz want to waste a second getting her changed and out of here....
He stalled suddenly at the sight of a black bra and small pile of G-strings..mere scraps of silk...
He couldn't help touching them. The fabric snagging on the rough pads of his fingers.. He hadn't seen or felt really expensive ferminine underwear in years... The silky sensation of it stirred something in him.. A deep rustling of memories...an unspecified longing...
Then he cursed sharply, slamming the drawer shut.. He'd had his fill of women.. Of deceit, he liked things the way he had them now.. He lived solo in the bush for weeks on end... And when he piloting jobs did take him else where.. He found sex.. No fuss, no pre-intimacy, no commitment.. Just pleasure straight up....
Until recently he hadn't felt bad about it... But lately, even the mindless sex had left him feeling hollow, unsatisfied .uneasy...
He found the princess purse, checked the passport picture in her wallet.. His hear beat a little faster at the sight of her thick hair.. Her dark almond eyes, her exotic features.. Her looks alone pushed his buttons..
He needed to get this job done fast.. This was not a woman he wants to linger around with... She reminded him too much of someone else.. Of a past he'd worked for ten years to forget, but still couldn't quite shake..
His mind went to the phone call and the man who had coerced him into this mission... Ayura Arif...
"I wont do it... "He has informed Qetsiyah's brother.... "I am done kidnapping damsels in distress, you know what happened the last time"
"Which is why you're going to do this for me now Oliver, please you owe me, my sister's life is in danger and you're the only guy in a position to get her out quickly.. You will be in and out in 72hours..fly her over the border into Botswana, take her to your place out in the bush, let me know she is safe and i will send someone out there to bring her home"
"You really trust me? He'd ask
"You sober?
"for the moment "
"Stay that way and i trust you will well compensated..
"Look i don't want your money"The truth was, he did.. He needed cash, he'd sunk everything into his business , and to make end meet he was forced to fly tourists out to game lodges across Botswana.. A solid injection of capital would enable him to turn down the piloting work and stick to his business... And he knew Ayura will pay handsomely
"Do this for me Oliver and next time, i will owe you,anything you want...
Brad laughef and hung up... But he wasn't laughing now.. It was a restiveness he felt, a sixth sense of something bad closing in...
Quietly he left the bungalow and move down through the shadows towards the festivities


***************************
The fencing along one side of the dining area was open to a low rock wall that drop down into a grove of trees... Brad crouches among the smooth roots of those trees, gun in hand as he scan his eyes around.. He saw her instantly, Princess Qetsiyah Arif, an exotic bird in cocktailgold among the group of mostly middle-aged men flushed with booze
She turned her pretty dark head to listen attentively to a squat, lantern jawed man at her side, in her left hand she held a drink and a diamond as big as a plum caught the firelight.. If that was an engagement ring, he wonder where her fiance in shining armor is...
The firelight caught her face as she turn to his direction.. Dusky skin, smooth, her eyes like black shinning pools made even darker and bigger with eyeliner.. She gave the man beside her a full wattage Princess smile
Brad immediately disliked and distrusted her..
He study the security detail behind her.. Two men likely her own, his attention shifted to the Zimbabwe sodiers lining the fence...
He quickly move hus attention to his target.. She was still laughing, seductive, a temptress.. The way Crala had been... He wonder why the men couldn't see the calculated precision. 'the choreography of her movements .....
Bitterness filled his mouth.. He was once like those blind men, falling for a beauty... It would happen again..
The music, the drumming grew louder, faces more flushed, voices raucous....
He quickly pull out a whiskey. He was about to swallow it when he sense something..... Carefully he listen..
All instincts sharp as razors, muscles primed, he concentrated on the sounds he was hearing....
"Humans.... "He muttered...
Slowly he swallowed his mouthful of booze, his mind sharp and clear. He could sense them approaching, surrounding.. Hunters, experienced...
Clicking the safety off his rifle, he felt for the hilt of the panga sheathed at his hip....he quickly pull out a blade...
Just then, on the far side of the festivities.. A crack of gunshots sounded...
It echoed through the black air... Black cloud.. Then followed an almost imperceptible moment of dead stillness.. Everything quieted... Then people began to scream and run as more gunshots follow...
Men in black balaclavas wielding AK-47s,knives and machetes stormed the place.....
Bodyguards immediately returned fire as guest screamed diving for the ground, crawling under tables and through upturned chairs and over broken glass..
Brad held back, quickly computing, the attackers numbered upward of a dozen... Blood was flowing freely.. But one man among them stood apart from the others.. He seemed to be searching for something, controlling the team of attackers... As the man turned, Brad saw he only have one arm.....
"Amal Ghaffar.... "He muttered with clenched teeth.....
"Get me the princess.. "Amal shouted..
All attention turn on the princess who was crawling under a table.....

MOGULA


ADESA CHUKLED AT VUGA'S COMMENT..... ..
"I don't think the boy killed the leopard ..."she muttered
Vuga scoffs.... "C'Mon, what do you know about the story, it was foretold, the boy killed the leopard and because of that he was made king instead of his elder brother..... "
"The boy had no hunting skills.... The story also said the boy went into the bush with just a dagger that was gifted to him by great great grandfather.... The leopard was shot by an arrow which literally means the boy couldn't have killed the Leopard......
"Then how did he end up as king.... ?
"He must have have taken the glory.. The hunters glory..... "
"That doesn't make any sense, the story said there was no hunter there.....
"But the story did say there was a hole in the leopard body that look like an arrow hole.... "
"So you think the hunter killed the Loenard and the boy took the victory.... "
"Yes..."She replied shapily ......"Just the way i think your brother might be innocent and you are fighting with him...... "
"Oh Adesa not my brother again.... "He said with muffled face
"Lets be realistic my prince, what would he benefit if he betray you and your father.. And most especially The princess... You have know your brother all your life.. Is he capable if doing such....
"People change Adesa.... My brother must have changed....
"Are you sure about that, because if you ask me, i believe Azaze tricked us.. What if the guard you saw went there after we Left...."
"You and i know my brother and Azaze left before we left.. Nobody went there again.. My brother is the spy.....
"Then why aren't you telling your father yet....? Adesa ask with clenched teeth....
Vuga gritted.... "I don't want to break his heart....he will be heartbroken if i tell him the news of his son betrayal.... "
"Then maybe you should talk to your brother..... "
"And ask him what exactly..... What am i going to get from him if he keeps denying.... He said am talking gibberish.....
"Well maybe you are.... "Adesa interjects....
Vuga huffs then he move forward a little.. Then he turned to face her.....
"Maybe what we saw isn't the meaning we are reading to it..... "Adesa added
His gaze sent chills all over her body... She took a deep breathe when she noticed people were beginning to pass... "I have to go my prince.... "She bump into a guard the moment she turned around, the basket of brevages in her hand slip and fell on the ground, scattering the vegetables and other things on the floor.....
"Are you blind...? Vuga rave at the guard, then he quickly rush to Adesa as she bow to pack up the things....
"My prince... I.... I.... "The guard try to explain when Vuga cut in harshly.....
"Just get out..... "
The guard quickly left.....
"Are you hurt, are you okay...? Vuga ask impetuously....
"Am fine..... Am fine.. "She said removing his hand from hers.... She knit her brows.... "You know there was really no need for you to scream at him like that, it wasn't his fault..... "
"Look at what he did, he bump into you.... "
"It was an accident.... "Adesa snapped
Vuga jut his chin... "Why are you defending him, he is just an ordinary guard...
"And am just an ordinary maid.... "Adesa cut in shapily....
Their eyes met when she snarled at him,Vuga couldn't keep his eyes off her, all he wanted to do was kiss her, so badly he thought he'd burst.. He wanted to feel her lips against his....
Adesa quickly turn away her eyes and pack the rest of the items inside the basket...
"Am sorry... "Vuga muttered faintly....
Adesa grunts when she saw who was standing behind Vuga..... "Talk to your brother. "She muttered to him, stood up...
"Adesa....... "He called out...
"My prince.... "She said.. Took a last glance at him and left him there....
"Who would have thought my own brother will be this gentle.... "Gary said from behind him
Vuga furrowed his brows when he turn to face him.....
"I see you still have those thoughts, the expression etches on your face... "Gary said
"Yes.. It's so obvious.. "He said and began to walk away....
"You like that girl, don't you....? Gary ask after him....
Adesa words... Talk to your brother.... Keeps ringing in his head, he look around and realise that wasn't a good place to talk.... "Can we talk in my room... "
Gary bug his eyes,his little brother inviting him for a talk... He shrugged..... "Lets go..... "
"So do you like that girl....? Gary ask teasing him..

It was minutes latee when they got to the room.... Vuga bit his lips bewildered on where to start.....
"So what is it you wanted to tell me....? Gary ask curiously
Vuga curl his lips... "I want the truth brother, are you the spy.....?
Gary exhales.....
"For a reason Adesa believe you aren't......
"Well Adesa is right, am not.. Am not the spy Vuga, how many times do i have to say that.....
"Okay fine, i believe you, but whoever this spy is, wr have to find him before he end up breaking us apart..... "
"So that's it... You invited me here because you wanted to ask me that....?
"No... "Vuga blared impetuously..... He sigh, he needs someone to confined in... Even if he doesn't really trust Gary.. Gary is still his older brother, and his instincts tell him Gary can be of help......
"What is it then....?
"You ask me if i like Adesa..... "He exhales not knowing how to let it out..... "The answer is yes, i love her but......
"But you aren't sure if she feels the same way..? Gary interjects.
"she does... I don't know.... Maybe she doesn't... I.. I...
"Relax Vuga... "Gary cut in walking close to him...... "Just take a deep breathe..... Have you told her how you feel... ?
"Wouldn't that be a stupid thing to do, considering the fact that i don't know if she feels the same way...."
"What would be stupid is you hiding how you truly feels about her and hurting yourself in the process...... You should tell her..
"What if she doesn't love me....
"You will never know that if you don't tell her..."
Vuga gritted.... "I don't know. I don't even know if it can be possible.. She is a maid and am a...
"Who cares if she is a maid and you are a prince.... "Gary interjects..... "Love doesn't differentiate....it isn't about class or superiority.... Love is happiness.. All that matters is your happiness... "


****************************
FRANCIS smile as he look at the room they have given him.... Though the room was a bit scattered but the bed was neat... He never thought he could do this but he is doing it and he intend to continue.... He was inclined to ask the king about where he has kept the princess but that will just be foolish.. He will arousing suspicion which is something he doesn't want not at this stage.... He has only one goak now, get the princess out before the night of the blood festival... He reclined his back on the bed thinking of all the pros and cons he can use in escaping..... He was lost.. He knew it isn't going to be easy. Finding Levi and the princess..

RACHAEL couldn't sleep, all she keeo thinking about was what she has heard.. The chiefs killed the late king.... That is why the king ghost was in the palace.... She couldn't do anything.. Couldn't say anything when the present ask what was going on.... She quickly remember what the queen has told her.. The king must never know you are seeing the late king's ghost......
She is scared... Very much afraid... Afraid the secret she has learnt might come into light and she will be in danger.... Earlier on she has thought of quitting her job and running away.. Running as far as she can..... What can she possibly do to help the late king... She is just a maid.. A maid trying to make a living with the money that she is paid....
She quickly glance at the time, it was 1:58am...it was midnight already yet she can't sleep because she thinks the late king might come again and she might scream.....
She wonder why she was seeing him and the queen couldn't... What message is he trying to pass to her...
She fold her hands across her chest, she look at her roommate who was fast asleep..... With fear lingering in her.. She lay her head on the pillow....


******************************
Levi scan his eyes around... The only light was visible in the currow were the fire lamp..there was no sight of guards anywhere... He look at the rest of the slave, they look like they were fast asleep,some were even snoring .... He quickly stood up from where he was.... Look around again making sure no one was seeing him, he quickly tiptoe out of the currow... No matter what he has to get out from this place... He decided to find Francis...
He shudder with fear as he heard sounds... He took a deep breathe when he realise it was the sound of his own legs... He was confused on where to turn to when he get to the corridor....... "Left or right... "he began to contemplate....

**************************
Slowly Francis opened the room dorr, every hour that passes, he opens the room to see if the guard the king has assigned tp guard the room was still there.... But to his utter Disappointmen..anytime he peep from the door,the guard was there......
He sigh,a sigh of relief when he opened the door this time around and noticed the guard was already asleep.....
Not making a noise.. He quickly cross his legs over his bosy since he was lying down in front of the door... He was inclined to find Levi.. ..he has ask sole questions and some friendly guards have told him Levi was taken to the slave currow.... But no one mentioned where the princess was... Maybe they were scared....
He began to run as fast as his legs can carry him...
He became confused when he got to a point.. He try to remember the direction the guard has given him but nothing was surfacing.... Terrified.. He groan

*****************************
The guard outside Katherine room frown immediately as things begin to hit the door from inside.. He was infuriated.. He felt like going in and pounce on her... He is unable to have a little sleep because of her persistent disturbance....
He sigh, a sigh of relief when she stopped.... Then he heard a low cry.... Moan from inside..... He lean his ears on the door... "Princess.... "He blared out but no answer came...
Slowly the moan began to fade.. Then her voice came again but it was faint like she was struggling with pains....
"Princess, are you okay.... "He ask again.....
He grunts.. Could she be dying... If she dies on his watch the king will him... He quickly brought out the key and opened the door.....
He flung the door open and rush in but there was no sign of her... All he could see were broken plates and vase on the floor....
He shouted faintly when a vase broke in his head.... Slowly he began to black out...Everything went blur.. Then dark.. Just then he drown into an oblivion of unconsciousness.....
Katherine quickly drop the other pieces of the vase on the floor when she realise he was down... Without hesitation, she ran out of the room......
Without an idea of where she was going she began to run through any open space...
Heart pounding she ran through the corridors hoping and praying she finds a way out

"Okay, that's it.... "Mary rotted out fed up..... She quickly stood up and walk up to the door, then she open it widely.... "You've said enough, i think it's time for you to go now... "
Francis clench his fist,he glared at Jacob who reciprocated the look.. then he shift his gaze to her.... "Am sorry i blared out like that.... "
"This isn't about been sorry, it's about us been done and whatever you are doing to get us back is really annoying.... So please leave.. "She said with muffled teeth...
"I just want to be sure of something, are you chasing me away so you could be alone with him or chasing me away because you don't want to see me....?
"Both.... "She replied shapily with irritation in her voice..... She jut her chin, then knit her brows.... "Just get out... "
Francis heart sank under deep breathes.. He glance at Jacob....
"You cursed this man, don't look at me like that.... "Jacob scurred at him
His body inch him to pounce on him.... And warn him to stay away from his girlfriend.. Far from her but he can't do that, because Mary was there.... He dislikes Jacob and he doesn't know why.. Call it jealousy or whatever but he got right to protect his girlfriend from guys like Jacob......
Without a second glance at him, he walk up to the door... Their eyes met, for a moment he thought he will turn away her eyes when their eyes met.. But she didnt... there was no trace of tears, not in her eyes or in track marks on her reddening face. Her eyes were narrowed, rigid, cold, hard. In that moment he knew he was already far away. Once more he was the enemy. These swings from most loved to most hated would be the end of him. Her states had no greyscale, only the polar extremes existed. He drew in a deep breath, the burning hard stare would last only as long as it took her to think of the most brutally cutting thing she could tear him down with. And after that he could kiss anything breakable goodbye. Which right now might just be his nose, it was so hard to tell and so pointless to walk away but he knew he needs to, perhaps give her space....... "Is this what you want..... For me to walk away..?
Mary snort, then that unforgettable moment of him having sex with that slut came flashing in her head...... She bug her eyes at him.... "Yes... "
"Perhaps you should let him stay Mary.... "Jacob interjects...
He fixated his gaze back on the table as they both turn on him...
"Don't interrupt this Jacob, he is leaving and never coming back... "
Francis suck his teeth.... "Never say never.... I will be back Mary, and when i come, i won't be leaving..... "Those were his last words before he left the compound... Out of the gate....
Mary breathe heavily as she slammed the door....
"Are you okay.. "Jacob ask standing up to meet her...
"Am fine.... "She cut in stopping him from coming closer....
"I understand he hurt your feelings....
"Can we please not talk about him.... "Mary jump in with furrowed brows...
Okay... "Jacob muttered sitting back on the chair...
Mary exhales and sat opposite him....


***************************
Sharon fix her eyes on the door as it opened.... She turn away her face when she realise it was Pope... She wonder how long she has been locked in the room... Probably a full day, she has lost track of time... Anyone in her condition will probably do that......
"Let's go home.... "Pope said standing at the door post...
Sharon bit her lips, not bothering to look at his face... "Have the ransom be paid....? She ask in a hoarse dry voice....
Smiles curve Pope's cheeks.... "We are rich once again baby..... "
She suck her teeth, then she quickly stood up.... "Fine let's go home... "
"You seem tense and pale... And what's with the whole frown face, i just gave you a spine tickling joyous news.. You should be happy we are going to bring this town down with money..... "
"Would that make you tell me where Manny is...? She blared out..
His smiles slowly fade into frown.... "I see you are still on that... You don't still believe me.. "
She huffs, then she tossed back a strap of her hair... "I believe you, now let me go.... "
"Not so fast sweetheart.... ...there is something you must do first... "
"What, do i need to kidnap someone for you... Oh let me guess, should i start mentioning the rich men in town so you can kidnap their daughter... You know very well am not going to help you with that, so get the hell out of my way.... "
Pope scoffs.... "What you are going to do is simple, you are not going to tell anyone what happened here.. No one must know what you witnessed here..
"Are you kidding me...... "She interjects..... She scoffs, with mouth slack-jawed...... "You locked me up in a room for hours, how was i supposed to know what happened here... How was i supposed to witness anything.....
"Well i told you we kidnapped that girl, that literally means you know something... Which is, you know the faces of the kidnappers...
"I know your face not faces.... "She snapped infuriated.
"Doesn't still change the fact that you know something and i won't have blabbing your mouth around especially to your friends..... "He snarled
"When have i ever blab your business to others.....?
He made a wry smile at the sound of her question..... "Just wanted to be clear, because if you start talking things you shouldn't be saying... Those boys in the sitting be the ones coming after you and i won't be able to do anything about it..... "
Sharon's phone vibrating in his pocket interrupt him..... He quickly pull out the phone from his pocket... He frown and curled his lips when he saw the caller....... "Your boyfriend never stop calling. Is he that impatient to put his granny hands on you..... "He quickly ended the call,smile and gave the phone to her..... "Does he know we getting back together.....?
"Excuse me.... "she scoffs... "There is no we getting back together.. I have a boyfriend and his name is Taiwo.. He alone will be my boyfriend..... "
"I like it when you make it sound like that. You and i know you don't feel anything for that dried up bird..
"And you think i feel something for you...? She cut in shapily....
He bug his eyes.... "You know there is something going on between us.. It's a feeling you can't deny.. You love me, that's why we are stuck here having this conversation...."
"We are stuck here because i thought i could find Manny here who turn out to be a kidnapped chief's daughter.. "She said back
"You love me, else you wouldn't have slept in my house the day you did.. Of course after all those long speech of moving away from me.. You can't leave me, can you?
Sharon suck her teeth. With a huff, she jut her chin..."I see you have that all figured out... Well you are wrong Pope, the only reason i slept in your house that night was because i thought i could find something linking you to Manny's disappearance... "
"What about the other nights, and the other nights.....?
"Go to hell.... "She retorted
Pope chulkled.... "Like it or not sweetheart, you are stuck with me and as bad as it sounds.. Am stuck with you too.....
"Don't flatter yourself..... You have no idea how i hate you.... "Sharon blared out irritated
"You mean love.... Okay since we are been sarcastic ... I hate you too."He said..then a quiet terrifying laugh followed........
"Burn to ashes Pope. "She said and push him aside, then she left the room...
Pope continue laughing and ran after her...

*****************************
"Still Furious....? Pope ask as he handled the steered with one hand.....
Sharon look out frol the windscreen still processing what has happened to her today...
"You do know frowning encroach wrinkles on your face and when you have those wrinkles. My God, you remind me of my great grand mother.. May her soul rest in peace.....
"You think this is a joke...? Sharon blared out..
"I think what is a joke...?
"Manny is missing, it's not funny anymore... Now am beginning to believe something must have happened to her.... "
"Oh God, Manny Manny Manny... "Pope muttered as he hit the steering... he almost lost concentration... Then he took back control......
"Relax.. The one driving "He said when he saw her quivered face.
Sharon quickly turn away her face......
"Look there is twenty million right there in there behind us. We can go wherever we want, buy whatever we want.. Just name it.... Because we are fu*king rich....."
Sharon jut her chin and shift her gaze to him.... "I don't want the money, i want something else....."
"What do you want....?

Amal Ghaffar raised his binoculars and studied the approaching vehicle, it was a jeep, drab olive green, stark against the dry earth, as it neared, he recognized the hulking shape of Mbogo at the wheel... Amal lower his scopes and resumed cleaning his AK-47 with his right hand.. The sleeve of his khaki shirt hung empty where his left arm used to be... Heat pressed down on the shade cloth over his head, sweat trickling from his sidebums
Amal didn't bother to look up when the jeep drew to a stop outside the camp and the door slammed.. He listened to the crunch of Mbogo's combat boots approaching...
"What is it? Amal said
Mbogo slapped a newspaper onto the small table in front of Amal... "page nine.. "his voice was a deem baritone
Amal's gaze slid slowly over to the newspaper
"It's a British paper, a week ago.. "
Mbogo remained silent
Amal finally glanced up, then pulled the newspaper towards it and opened it to page nine. For an instant, he was paralyzed by the black and white photograph..
He lean forward for a closer look, to be certain, but there was no doubt... It was her.. All flashing black eyes, thick dark hair, a broad smile across her exotic features... She was as usual exquisitely dressed.... Standing beside her was a tall dark skinned man with hooded eyes and pitch black hair, her Left hand rested on the man's arm and the diamond on her ring finger was large enough to feed a small nation..
Amal's attention darted to the text below the photo, a date has been set, the wedding of princess Qetsiyah Arif of Najar kingdom and sheik Haroun Hassan of sa'ud would take place in the kingdom of Sa'ud nineteen months from now, as per the contract negotiated between their fathers almost twenty-three years ago.. It would marry two oil kingdoms, one in the sahara, the other across the red sea in Arabia
"According to that article she's in Zimbabwe right now"Mbogo said quietly... "And in two days she will be staying at a lodge near Victoria falls"
Amal stare at the photo.. It was a sign, a gift from God, delivered right to his hand.. For two long years he'd been forced to live like a wounded rat, scurrying around the dry hills and plains, hiding in the insect infested jungles of this dark continent with a rogue band of fugitives, eking out a living by doing mercenary jobs for corrupt men in power, thwarting the international agencies hunting him... The Arif family has taken everything from him including his left arm and his father... They had forced him into this existence....
Now, suddenly he could taste revenge......
"We leave before nightfall "Amal whispered.. He got to his feet, his empty sleeve flapping in the hot breeze.... "And in case we don't reach her on time, put out word that i want her, Alive..... Although dead will suffice as long as i am brought her head on a plate.. Let it be known i will pay very well"
"And how will you pay? Mbogo ask curiously
Amal's eyes flared to Mbogo. "Her brothers will. Ransom..while they think i have her alive.. "He grab his gun, a new fire burning in his gut... "The world will see what happens when you dare cross a Ghaffar"

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

THE SCREECHING MONKEYS in the branches above the lodge patio forced Qetsiyah Arif to lean forward in order to hear what the shorter Chinese diplomat was saying. She smile and nodded encouragingly, not wanting to ruffle any feathers tonight... This deal that would see Zimbabwe ceding platinum mining rights to china was unprecedented in scope, for her part, Qetsiyah was in the country to ensure the provision of clean water points for the impacted villages was firmly entrenched in the deal when it was signed in Harare tomorrow... Clear water, the new york based nonprofit agency for which she volunteered would handle the installation over the next five years...
She'd been working on securing Clearwater access in Zimbabwe for almost four years now and it will be her swan song.. Because when she us married in nineteen months, she will be leaving Manhattan, along with her foreign investment consulting career and charity work to live in Sa'ud.. There she'd be expected to work at her new husband side as queen wjen sheik Haroun Hassan took the throne from his ailing father.. This had been her destiny from the day she turned five.. She accepted it but tonight on the eve if her success, she was having trouble with the idea of letting go of the things that had come to define her.. Of loosing her freedom
But the marriage would forge a powerful political and economic alliance between the two oil rich kingdoms.. It would boost her own country economy .'it will help her brothers one of whom was king... Its what her dead father has wanted...
And at least after this deal was signed tomorrow, she'd be leaving legacy for hundred of villagers.. It will be a tribute to the freedom she'd enjoyed and in which she'd prospered...
The evening air was warm against her bare shoulders, the sun sinking to the horizon in a blood orane ball, coloured by haze from surrounding bushfires brought on by drought... The acrid scent of smoke tinged the air and she could hear drumming from a nearby village ..it carried an undercurrent of foreboding,something primeval that lurked under the layers of feigned civility...
"The fire smell close tonight"Said a delegate from the Czech Republic as he sidled up to Qetsiyah and the Chinese representative.. "At least the wind is blowing away from us"He added... "Our guide said it will turn tomorrow, but we should be gone before that.. "He tossed back the last of his vodka. Standing close to her... "At least we will be safe"
"Yes"She said
"it's incredible to think it's so dry out there when victoria falls and the massive Zambezi is just a few miles away... All that water...
"It is... "Qetsiyah said swallowing her real thoughts... The Czech Republic was a cogsiner with China on the deal....she had to play nice, only until Tomorrow..once this was signed, she was going to take a long hot shower and scrub the schmooze off her skin....
"A most spectacular waterfall... "The Czech said as he wave the waiter to bring more vodka
A man in a red fez and white button down shirt approached quickly with his silver tray and filled the man's glass..
The Czech raised his full glass to the darkening sky... "Here is to doctor Livingston for discovering the falls"He said and tossed back the entire glass
"The locals call the falls mosi oa tunya"Qetsiyah responded quietly..... "It means the smoke that thunders.. They called it that well before Dr Livingston arrived...
He shot her a sharp look and she cautioned herself
The riverbed was dust dry, apart from a few deep lingering, brown pools and to her delight, a family of elephants had come from the opposite bank to drink from those pools
Qetsiyah has watched them for over an hour, stress easing from her neck and mind.. Until a crocodile broke the muddy surface and latched onto the baby elephant.. The ensuring fight, the raw violence of it had grab her by the throat..
The Czech stood beside her, watching, sipping his own cocktail, cheeks flushed and eyes bright with the thrill of his own personal reality show...
Something cold and disturbing had settled in her chest on that riverbank this afternoon.. Something she couldn't define, a sense of change coming, something dark
"The danger is everywhere out here.. "The Czech said at her shoulder... "Always a predator in the shadows, lurking, waiting to kill, you go about your business then suddenly it strikes..."
She heard him sip his drink, ice knocking against crystal and she couldn't help flicking a glance to where her two bodyguards stood ...
"We are put on earth to eat or be eaten.. "He added...... "To kill or be killed, except with us humans,its not always about food or water, sometimes its just for fun or revenge.. Sometimes an attack comes indirectly through commerce,greed...."he trailed off, his words slurring, his philosophical idea blurring around the edges...
Qetsiyah fingered the mammoth pink Argyle diamond on her ring finger as she thought of the elephant killed....the diamond was a symbol of her call to duty, her looming future, was she going to be confined to a life of polite talks and diplomatic function, feigning civility with the likes of the likes of this Czech boozer for the rest of her life?
The dinner gong boomed suddenly and lodge staff politely began to usher in guest across the lawn towards the lapa..a fenced off circular dinning area where a huge fire crackled inside a stone circle at the center.. Pulsing embers had been raked to one side.. Upon them rested three legged African cast iron pots, simmering with traditional game stews, one with a vegetarian selected flr Qetsiyah..
Delegates took their seats at long tables decked with white linen, candles, polished silverware.... Wine flowed and the entertainment began...... Xylophones and softly throbbing skin drums, voices sounded like the land itself... Dancers shuffled out from behind the branch fencing, stomping barefeet, nutshells and bottle caps clicking in bracelets around their ankles as they swayed and hummed to the beat... A lone voice rose above it all, a cry in song...
Goose bumps chased over Qetsiyah's skin, and she had to resist the urge to close her eyes and just drink in the sounds... Instead she nodded politely at a representative from Bangkok who'd taken a seat beside her...
By the time the first song ended and the guests applauded.. The night was thick as velvet.. Stars splattered across the sky.. Nature se to be encroaching on the periphery of the camp.. Closing in with mysterious nighy sounds.....
Slowly she turn her attention to the armed silent bodyguard s lining the six foot high branch fence watching.. The security detail has been provided by the president to watch over the delegates.. Her own men stood behind her at a comfortable distance.. Yet the chill of foreboding deepened in her and she shivered...

EPISODE 13

MRS LEMUEL QUICKLY step out of the car as she got to the address that was stated in the paper...
She quickly rang the doorbell but no answer came, she rang it again then the door open and an elderly woman appeared in front of her...
"Good day Madam, i don't if am on the right place but i was given this address, am looking for Mrs Hopewell.. "
"Why are you looking for her"The woman replied in a crack hoarse voice
"I want to ask her about someone"
The woman gave an irritating look and left the door open as she walk away, mrs Lemuel wasn't sure if that was an invitation to go in or remain where she is....
She exhales as a younger woman probably of her age walk up to her.... She had a good stature, nice height but wasn't pretty
"Dont mind my mother, she acts like that sometimes..... "the woman said
"Are you mrs Hopewell...? She ask curiously as she was invited in
"Yes i am,and you are..?
"Mrs Lemuel..... "as she streched forth her hand for a handshake.....
"Oh.. Nice meeting you"Mrs Hopewell said after they shook hands...
Mrs Lemuel scan her eyes around the house, the house was a bit scattered.. The chairs were torn.. The clock on the wall wasn't working and it was protruding an offensive odour...
She saw a picture on the wall.. A man, mrs Hopewell and a little girl... She took a deep breathe tinge with a faint smile as she thought that might be her daughter... Leticia
"Can i help you with something..? Mrs Hopewell interrupt her thoughts.
"I want to ask you a personal question, am not sure how you will react... "
"You will be surprise, i will be cool"She said and they both chulkled
"Am just coming from lady Greer's orphanage home, the lady there gave me this address
Mrs Lemuel waited for her to reply, but when she gave non, she continued.... "Seventeen years ago, you adopted a baby girl, her name was Leticia..... "
Shock swept through mrs Hopewell, she has always knew this day will come....."Are you her biological mother? She ask faintly..
"Yes i am... "Mrs Lemuel reply shapily with enthusiasm.... "And that must be her... "She said pointing at the picture on the wall
"She is older than that now"Mrs Hopewell said with a smiling face
"I know... "She said with joy
"Do you know we actually gave her the name you named her.. We named her Leticia
"Really...
"Yes we did, i know where ever she is now, she will be glad your real mother care about her.... "
Her statement startled her..... "What do you mean wherever she is?
"Am sorry, i didn't mean to blow that out like that. "
"No... Tell me, i deserve to know.... "Mrs Lemuel said with a trembling voice...
"Am sorry... "Mrs Hopewell said as tears began to drip slowly from her eyes....
"Sorry about what, what happened to my daughter....? She blared out
"She died.... Our daughter died four years ago... "
Mrs Lemuel heart sanked..... Just then she collapsed to the ground...


***************************
The roaring groan increases, Leonard quickly raised the person up and carried him on his shoulder... He wasn't sure what was making that noise but whatever it is. Itbhas something to do with injured person and that is something he is not ready to find out..
He was inclined to climb back to the high ground but the person he was carrying weigh too much probably more than him and he was dragging him back... How could he be so stupid not to listen to Noah when he ask him to slow down, if he had listened, he wouldn't be in the situation he is right now... Their ride to the zoo has turn out to be a race of survival from the jungle...
The thought of something happening to Noah weakened him instantly.. He remembered Noah has fell down from that hill, he must be here, somewhere... He lifted the person in his shoulder well, adjusting himself to fit the balance... Then he took another route to find Noah.....


**************************
MRS Hopewell felt relieved as Mrs Lemuel regain consciousness....
"Are you alright....? She ask
Mrs Lemuel nodded her head as tears drip down her cheek.... "How did she die?
"It was tragic... "Mrs Hopewell sigh, then continue.. "She and my husband were on a trip to visit her grandmother, on the way they met a very fatal accident, they didn't survive it, she died before she could seek medical attention. My husband later died a few days later.... "She sniff as uncontrollable tears wreck her face...."We both lost her, since i couldn't give birth, she was very dear ti me, i wanted to find her real mother, to tell her her daughter was okay but i couldn't reach you....
"What are you two even blabbing about, i don't need nuisance in my house.... "The older woman yell at them and then walk away again
"She is my mother-in-law, she is been like that ever since she lost her son, my husband was her only son.....
Mrs Lemuel felt pity for her, her pain was nothing compared to this woman own.... "Where was she buried...?
"In the cementary"


*************************
Leonard breathe faster than normal as he heard the scary groan again.. With the person in his back he increase the speed of his legs and ran deep into the bush
"Noah... "He scream again but no answer came
He felt the person's fingers tapping on his shoulder.....
"Run or it's going to eat your flesh too... "The person said faintly
The groan sound came again, this time it was close.... Leonard couldn't breathe, couldn't move... He was scared to death....
His heart race at tremendous speed when he saw a dog looking like animal staring at him furiously few pace from him...
Without hesitation and pounding heart, he quickly turn to run away when a hand pulled him down
"Shush... "Noah said quietly putting a finger in across his lips...
"Noah..... "He blared out excitedly...... "You are alive"
Noah frown at his stupid statement.. "Do you think that little jump from that crazy bike is going to kill me....?
"I thought something had happened to you, are you injured..? Leonard ask anxiously
"No, just a scratch on my hand... Are you?
"Yes.. On my leg"
Noah scoffs"I knew you were always this soft...
Noah chulkled... "You are the one with the big muscles, why don't you go out and fight that dog like the strong boy that you are...."
"You are the one who always claim the strong man, are you scared all of a sudden...? Noah ask jokingly..
The person's breathe increases, Leonard place his hand on his chest to see if he was dying.. "We need to take him to the hospital or he is going to die.. "
"We're all gonna die if we don't escape this dog or whatever that is... "
"I wonder how he even got into this bush.... "Leonard said.. Then he check his pocket to see if there was anyway to ID him. He saw his wallet, he quickly pull it out and open it.. He took out some money and a condom...
"What was he doing with those...? Noah ask
"I don't know, maybe he was going to have sex with the dog.... "Leonard replied jokingly
"You're crazy"noah said, then they both laugh
"We should get out of here... "Leonard said putting back the money and the condom inside the wallet.he kept it back in the person's pocket
"I think it's gone"Noah said coming out from hiding...
Noah help to carry the person on Leonard's back, then they began to find their way out of the bush


***************************
Mrs Lemuel staggered as they walk into the cementary.. Mrs Hopewell led her to Leticia's grave.. On twl graves was encrypt Leticia Hopewell, while the other was George Hopewell...
Mrs Lemuel fell to her knees in front of Leticia grave.... Tears began to drip from her eyes again
All this years, her only wish was to seebher daughter, to hold her and tell her how sorry she was for giving her up... Her daughter she has been searching for all this time iq dead....
There and then she remember she hasn't ask one important question... With a curious mind she ask... "Was there a birthmark on her body.....
"Yes, it was in her toes.. "
Eyes slack-jawed, Mrs Lemuel quickly stood up.. My daughter's birthmark wasn't in her toes, it was in her shoulder same as Leonard... That was something she can never forget... Something she can recognize her daughter with..... "This Leticia is not my daughter.... "
"What do you mean?
"My daughter's birth isn't on her toes.. It's on her shoulder, your daughter and mine must have bear the same name.....
"It can't be a coincidence... "Mrs Hopewell interjects
Mrs Lemuel suck her teeth, it was beginning to make sense to her now, a year ago when she had gone to the orphanage home, she was told they had no record book of the children that were brought in that year... They had no idea if her daughter was among the ones adopted... The woman she met at the orphanage earlier ln must have lied to her.. That wasn't a record book, she didn't see it, the woman only read it to her hearing and wrote an address for her..
"you will never find her... "Mrs Hopewell said aggressively
Fear engulfed Mrs Lemuel..... "Who are you.?
"You should stop finding her.... "
Mrs Lemuel shift aback.. Away from her reach... "You know my daughter is alive, where is she?
"You must stop finding her, you gave her away, she is not yours anymore.. "
"I will find my daughter.. "She raved at her... With this words, she rush away from her to her car... She took a last glance at Mrs Hopewell.... Then she enter her car, start the engine and zoom off......
With a deep breathe she muttered... "I will find my daughter... "

EPISODE 121

EYES TWINKLING,he was tired as hell, weary with the burden of long-closed eyes; he could of easily pulled off being a walking zombie, dead on the inside but subconsciously awake.....
He struggled and fell off from the bed as the knock came again.. This time very loud..
He wonder who could be disturbing his sleep, he stood his balance... Yawn and left the room...
Fatigue prick him. He bug out his eyes, then he lean forward towards the door....
Gently, he unlock it and twit down the knob.....
He clean his eyes with his palm, dashing back to reality at the sight if who was standing there....
"Hi..... "Rita muttered with a wave.
"Hi... "He replied with a long breathe...
"So when did you get back....?
"I came in this morning... "He said in a reprimanding voice.....
"Sooo...... "
Smiles curve his cheeks, he wonder hiw she knew he was back from the city, the last person he wants to see now was her, he kept thinking about her.. She invade his thoughts.his privacy... He knew he can't be falling for her.. He has a fiancee, a girl he loves very much.. Was it possible to love two women... His inner mind keep screaming at him to tell her, tell her he us engage to someone else and whatever she has cooked up in her head about them isn't going to be possible ...."Come in... "He said after a slight pause...
she made a wry smile and drag her feet inside the house.....
The house was scattered, totally unkept, plates,probably the plates he ate with were littered on the table.....
His trouser and Few shorts were thrown callously on the chair....
"So sorry you have to see the house like this.... "He interjects as if he was reading her thoughts..
"Boys life... "She said jokinly....
James chulkled....
Rita glance at the muscles burging out from his bare hands... He was only on his singlet and a trouser that was falling from his waist......
"Why don't you make yourself comfortable while i take this things off..... "He said packing up the clothes from the chair....
She offered to help with the plates but he declined with a smile....
Left with nothing to do, she relaxed on the chair....


*****************************
Levi sigh, a sigh of relief when the man finally left... He took a deep drag, he scan his eyes around, some of the slaves stopped working while the rest continue with their works....he quickly stood up from where he is praying the man doesn't return soon, he walk to the boy that have stood up for him earlier...
He quiver when he met the gaze of the fat boy..... He quickly turn away his gaze from him and shift it to the boy.....
"Hey.... "He said to him....
He exhales shapily when the boy didn't reply, he get it, the boy is scared, scared that evil prima or whoever he is might show up anytime but he needs information.....
"Thank you for earlier...."He added shabbily....
"Yes... "The boy reply and continue with what he was doing..... "Don't give him listening ears, he is a bully... "
Levi huffs.... He was inclined to walk away as he wasn't sure if the boy will listen to the rest of his talks......
"You should be working.. The agro man doesn't like it if we stand idly.... "The boy said with clenched teeth....
"The agro man"Levi muffled to himself..... "To be honest, i don't know what i am here..... "
"You are in the slave currow which literally makes you a slave..... "
"But he didn't say anything to me earlier... I mean the agro man.... "
"Ya, i saw that... "
Levi gritted, he look around, some people were busy with their works while some were murmuring words to themselves.. He wonder if he was the topic of gossip....."Hey, i know i shouldn't ask this of you but am just curious... "Do you know where the princess is imprisoned....?
"There is no princess here, the king has no daughter..... "
"No,am not talking about that, i mean another princess from another land..... "Levi muttered wondering if his explanation made any sense..... "
"i don't know about that, we are never allowed to leave the currow.... We sleep here, eat here and pass excretas here.... "
Levi grimace his face... "That's gross.. "
"Not as gross as you think... "
"has anyone ever thought of leaving here..? Levi ask curiously
"The people who has done it never lived to tell the tale, they were caught by the guards before they could get out of the palace... You want to know what they did to them....?
Levi nodded shabbily.... "What?
"They cut off their pen*s,they drive a stake in their mouth until they stop breathing... Then they hung their dead bodies there.. "He said pointing at the place.. ..."They hung it there to remind us of the consequences if any of us dare to leave.. They later took their bodies away when the offensive desecrating odour of their bodies started making us sick.....since them, escaping from here has never be an option.. "
"Oh no...! Levi muttered with a grimace face

************************
"Is it true. "King Jafar ask the moment the head guard came in....
"Our spy doesn't know about that, but he did say King Dafuda is planning on selling the goldmine to the minister of finance in the capital, though he doubt it.. He said Dafuda knows there is a spy so he will do anything to convey the wrong messages.... Our spy thinks it might be possible, That king Dafuda might be secretly planning an attack.... "
With a face like thunder, King Jafar groan.... "So the boy is right.... "
"I think he is, great king, perhaps we can ask him to tell more about this attack"

**************************
Francis eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As he blinked, they dripped from his eyelids and slid down his cheeks. he bit his lip tightly in attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape from his mouth; his heart sank when he thought he could die without saving the princess...
He clenched his fist as anger runs deeply in his eyes....
He curl his lips when he king Jafar is his guard coming his way, he quickly wipe off the tears from his eyes..... The only thought in his head was they have come to kill him, they have probably checkes out his story and found out it wasn't true...
He glower at King Jafar as he drew closer to him.....
"Servant..... "King Jafar call out...
Francis didn't reply, he just stood staring at him with furious eyes.....
"i Haven't still clarify your story but it's turning out to be true.... "
Francis sigh, a sigh of relief.. It means he still have time.
"I want you to tell me more, tell me everything you know about Dafuda's plans"
Francis scoffs, then he realise this was his eyes.. If he wants to get out from this prison they have kept him, he needs to be smart......."I will tell you more but only after you get me out of here.... "
King Jafar huffs.. He stop his guard as he was about to open the prison and pounce on him.....
"Brave but stupid..... "King Jafar retorted
Francis knit his brows then he sat down back on the floor...... "Am the only one who knows about how the attack is going to be.... They will be attacking from different angles, even the ones you don't think exists... I can tell you all of that, then you can figure their loophole to counter all their attacks but only when am free from this hellhole will i do that... "he said with confident praying deeply in his heart his games work
"How dare you speak to the king in that manner....? The guard raved fiercely bringing out his sword from where it was stuck on
King Jafar laugh. First mildly.. Then hysterically..... "I don't battle words with slaves... "
"We aren't battling words... It's simply a negotiation.. I will help you in return for my freedom and my brother, i can even return to Mogula and do what your spy is incapable of doing.. No-one will suspect me.. No-one... "
"If i figure out you are lying....
"Why would i be lying in this circumstance... "Francis cut in... He took a deep breathe..... "If you find out am lying... Don't hesitate before you kill me... All i ask of you great king is a life for me and my brother and i will do anything you ask of me even though it means going to the deepest part of hell"
King Jafar chulkled.... "I have a son, perhaps you can be his servant.... "
Francis bit his lips, tinge with a smile.... "If that's what you want great king, am nothing but a lowly slave who is at your mercy... I will gladly accept your offer but i strongly believe you will have more use of me by your side than to be your son's servant.. "
"Release him.... "King Jafar ordered....
The guard gave Francis a deadly look, then he opened the prison.....
Francis inhale deeply tinge with a faint smile.... Then he slowly fell to his knees.... "Long live your majesty, in your mercy i shall live, your grace determines my success,failure,live and death,in your name i shall tremble, in your feet, i shall bow and worship you like the king you are..... May you reign.. Great king"

EPISODE 15

JACK STARED AT THE CIGARETTE BETWEEN HIS FINGERS. It was almost short enough to burn him. With an effort, he leaned forward to crush it out.....then he pick out another one from the pack,he quickly lit with the lighter.....
He inhale the cigarette, he removed it from his lips and blew out the smoke in the air as if it was the aftermath of a kiss that aches to steal a life he was struggling to elude......
The rich benignant cigar smoke eddied coolly down his throat; he puffed it out again in rings which breasted the air bravely for a moment...
He took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke into the air, watching it disappear in the cloud of smoke above their booth.
"Where is she? Pope ask the moment he entered the room...
He cough from the offensive choking odour of the smoke....
Jack took a puff from the cigar and snorted the smoke out of a flaring nostril.
Deadly choking Smoke slithers and writhes in his face and fills the room.
He stood up to meet his face.....
Pope grunts, then he exhales when Sharon scream again from the room... He huffs when he heard her voice and realise she is still in the room she was held in...
"You better tell your bitch to stop screaming ..."Jack said in a baritone voice
"How could you do this man, How could you allow that girl to follow you here"Sparrow who was sitting on the chair interjects.
"I didn't know she was following me... "Pope blared out.... He knit his brows when Sharon scream from the room again....
"You hear that..... "Jack said infuriated...... "What were you thinking, how could you not know she was following you..... "he exhales, drag in the cigar and blew the smoke in Pope face... "You better pray that bitch doesn't ruin this plan for us, that girl locked in there is worth millions of naira, i don't intend to hit a snag in getting that money, so you go into that room and that bitch to be silent else, am gonna put a bullet in her mouth and make her quiet forever.... "
"Are you threatening me......? Pope raved....... "Have you forgotten who introduced you into this game... "
"No hard feelings brother, just want to be on the clear with you.. "Jack rebuked....
Pope gave him a dirty look, then he left him and head for the room Sharon was locked in.....

"Pope..... "Sharon scream as she hit and kick the door....
She lost her balance when the door opening push her over.....
"You psychotic bastard..... "Sharon retorted the moment she saw Pope....
"Are you okay....?
Sharon grunts...."What sort of stupid question is that, what are planning to do with Manny....?
"Manny is not here and you shouldn't have followed me here. "
Sharon curl her lips.... "I saw Manny in that room, what the hell are you doing with her..? She queried
"Is this the reason you followed me here, to see if Manny is here. I told you i don't know where Manny is.... "
"Liar.... "Sharon cut in harshly...... "I know who i saw, and it was Manny.. "
"That wasn't Manny, that is chief Madu's daughter.... "Pope blared out impetuously....
Sharon scoffs..... "You can keep denying all you want, but i swear to you, am not leaving this place without Manny, i swear it.... "
"Am not thinking of letting you out. "Pope interjected.
Sharon shudder.... "What, are you going to kill me..?
"I can't let you out of here until the deal with her has been finalized.... "
"The deal with who, with Manny, is that why you kidnapped her and tie her up....for a deal, are...
"That isn't Manny..... "Pope interjects irritated....... He exhales.... "I told you and am still telling you, i dont know where Manny is, who you saw was chief Madu's daughter not Manny.. "
Sharon gritted, then she fold her hand across her chest..... "I don't believe you.. "
"Believe me or not, the truth is, Manny isn't here.... "
Sharon grunts, was she too quick in judgement, she never really saw the person's face... But her guts tells her it's Manny, Pope was good in lying and manipulating people's mind....... "If that isn't Manny, why do you have chief Madu's daughter here.....?
"If you know who chief Madu is, then you know the answer to your question.... "
Sharon jut her chin as she thought about chief Madu, chief Madu is a well recognized and respected chief in the society... It is rumoured that he is very stingy, that he only spend his money on his own luxury and only daughter, he doesn't care about anyone else but his family... Many people have told stories about him, that he is the kind of man that tells you his life story instead of giving you the money you begged for... In quote... 'Chief Madu is a greedy, stingy,selfish man..... '......
Her eyes slack-jawed when she figure out the answer to her question.... "Oh my God, you kidnapped her for ramson.... "She blared out shock
"Exactly..... And now that you know that, we can't let you out of here.. The rest of the boys are already pissed off by your screams and rantings,we can't have anyone jeopardizing this plan. The chief daughter is worth millions Of naira.. "
"How much precisely are you bailing her father...?she ask curiously
"Fifty million in cash.. "
"Oh my God, are you crazy.... "She said in an askance manner...... "That man is literally going to drain his account dry.. "
Pope giggled.... "You have no idea how much that man is worth.. "
Sharon quickly knit her brows when she realise she was diverting from the actual topic, whatever lies Pope was feeding her were beginning to get to her....... "Where is Manny Pope?she ask with a frown line encroaching on her forehead
Pope grunts....... "What do you want me to do for you to believe me that i don't know where Manny is, i told You, Manny didn't show up as supposed.... I don't know where she is.... "
"If you didnt take Manny, then where the hell is she....? She hollered....
"I don't know.. perhaps she is dead.... "Pope lashed out irritated.....
Sharon furrow her brows, then she clenched her fist... "I want to see that girl"
"What girl.... You cannot see her, don't you understand it.... "
"You said she isn't Manny, i need to comfirm for myself you are telling the truth...... "She retorted
"Why would i lie to you about something so crucial ?
"Because you have always lied to me.... "She cut in harshly.... "You have always lied about everything, our relationship, the stupid slut i caught you with... Your...
"Enough.... That's enough..."He lashed out.... "You can believe whatever you want,i really don't care anymore, you think i killed Manny, fine, i killed her, satisfy now..... ?....
He took a deep breathe, he clench his fist and try to calm the anger that boils in him.... "What is even wrong with you, you followed me here, am the reason you are still alive right now..... "
"I want to see the girl,is that so hard to do.....?
"Pope... "
Sparrow voice interrupted them... Pope quickly turn around to face him....
"It's time.... "Sparrow added....
"It's time for what....? Sharon ask anxiously....
Pope gave her a dirty look, then he shut the door and lock it...
"Pope... Pope.... "Sharon shouted from inside....
"You bastard..... I hate you.."She groan


***************************
Mary quickly wipe off the tear that was falling from her eyes, he is not worth it.....
Without hesitation She went back into Manny's room....
She thought of guessing who sun is but she couldn't... All she keep thinking about was Francis......
She sat on the bed and cling the white teddy bear to herself, He cheated on her, that isn't something she can forget, she will live to remenber that probably till the day of her death..... He stoop so low to have sex with common slut....
She knitted her brows and wipe off another tear that was about to fall from her eyes... Why can't she stop thinking about him.. Why does he always invade her thoughts....
She pick up her phone and thought of calling someone... Someone that could distract her from her thoughts... She thought of calling Sharon.... She bit her lips when she realise wasn't the one to talk to... Sharon will probably hang up on her.....
She scroll down her dialled numbers.... She made a faint smile when she saw Jacob's number... She could call him.. At least for the past two days, Jacob has proven to be a better friend than Sharon...
She hesitated a bit.. Then she drop the phone on the bed..... She pick it up again then she called him....
She was inclined to end the call as it started ringing.... But just then the call connected and his voice came up.....
Confused on what to say she said "Hi.... "
"Good morning to you too"Jacob replied from the other end....
She grind her teeth when she realise that was what she was supposed to say.....
"So how are you doing, is she back....? Jacob ask
Mary frown at the thought of Manny.... "No, but i find out something..... "
"Wow, you did some diggings,what did you find out? Jacob ask
Mary stood up from the bed wondering if that was the right time to ask the question she was so eager to ask...... "Did you buy a teddy bear for Manny.. I mean as a gift..... ?
"No i didn't..... "He replied...
Mary made a low groan... She sigh in disappointment.... For a moment she thought sun could be Jacob...... "Can you come over,maybe later so we can figure out my findings together.......? She ask with clenched teeth
She grittef when she heard Jacob stress intonation
"Emm, i don't think that will be possible, i am actually going out to take pictures at an occasion...... "
"Oh sure, i totally forgot you are a photographer.... "Mary said impetuously..... She exhales when she thought she sounded too obvious..... "I mean.. You know.... "
"I know...... "Jacob interjects.... "Alright gat to go, call you later.. "He added....
Mary gritted as the call ended.....
She exhales wondering who sun is if it isn't Jacob...
She resorted to a straiface when a knock sounded on the door.... She just wish and pray that Francis is gone...
She quickly left the room.....
The knock came again, this time it was faint as uf the person was tired of knocking....
She quickly peep from the window.....
She frown when she saw him standing there....
Infuriated, she quickly walk to the door and open it..... "Do you mind telling me what you are still doing here....? She raved
"Am not leaving here until you believe me"Francis said back putting his hands in his two side pockets..
"Do you know i can call the police to arrest you for lurking around this premises...."
"Go ahead,call them, let them come and arrest me for resolving issues with my girlfriend.....
"Ex girlfriend.... "Mary interjects
"Whatever you say, but know am not leaving here until everything is resolved..... "He said then he sat on the balcony.....
"
Mary groan thinking of all the possible ways to chase him away.....
"And i heard Manny is missing, have you heard anything from her....... ?
"Not something i should start sharing with you.... "She blared out
"You know, i could help, even if i never really liked her, i can help in finding her if she is missing.. "
"No-one is asking for your help....."Mary cut in shapily
"Oh.... Then i guess i will just have to sit here..... "
"Fine, sit there.... "Mary said with irritation in her voice.. Without a second glance at the him, she went in and slammed the door....
"Am still here, aren't going nowhere "Francis shouted from outside
Mary knit her brows.... She sat down on the chair, then she stood up again... Wby can't he just go.... Then she thought of the help she can get from him....she inhaled deeply, what is she thinking.. She hates him for what he did to her, she cant ask for his help...
She exhales then quickly walk to the door and opened it.....
She gave him a dirty look...... "You want to help in finding Manny? She ask with frowned face
"If you are asking.... "Francis scurred.
"This isnt a game,you want to help or not. ?she queried
"Fine, i will help"he said jumping down from the balcony.....
"And a point to note, this isn't taking you back.. This is strictly helping to find Manny.. "She snapped...
"Alright whatever you say.... "He said with a smile....
He sigh, a sigh of relief as he followed her inside......
"So how long have she be missing? Francis ask
"Four days.. "She replied with disgust....
"Could she have gone out to see a man....?
Mary gave him a dirty look....
Francis quickly realise he just made a silly remark... Mary like her friends and she gets angry when such things are spoken about them....
"This was a total bad idea, you can leave.... "Mary retorted...
"Am sorry.... "
"Sorry..... "She cramp her muscles...... "You know what, you are not worth my presence... You are nit even worth the calories i burn talking to you..... "Mary said harshly
"Am sorry okay, i truly am... "
A knock sounded in the door again... For a split second, Mary thought it could be Manny.. Then on second thought Sharon....
She quickly opened the door....
With wide eyes tinge with smiles that followed, she stare at the person outside..... "I thought you said you are going for an occasion..... "
"I am, just not time yet, i wanted to surprise you. 'lets say i was so curious on knowing about your findings after you ended the call.... "Jacob said jokingly
Frown lines encroach on Francis forehead as he saw Jacob..... "Seriously, we are trying to resolve our issues and you called a third party"Francis blared out
"This third party as you call him will be staying while you will be leaving..... "Mary retorted...
"Am not going anywhere...... "Francis replied shapily
"Oh yes you are... "Mary snarled
"okay, nobody is leaving, we should all stay here"Jacob interjects.....
Mary grunts, then she gave Francis a killer look....
Francis drool his eyes at Jacob....then he sat down....
He watch as Jacob sat beside Mary.. It annoy him, he was inclined to sit in their middle but that will be childish..... "
Jacob wink his eyes at Francis, his stare was making him a bit uncomfortable..... "So does he know Manny is missing....?
"I know.... "Francis answered shapily
Mary suck her teeth then she shift her gaze to Jacob.... "I find something in Manny's diary, maybe if we know more about it, it could give us a clue.... "
"Seriously Mary, are you going to tell that to this guy, how long have you known him... Two months, one week. I know he is not your friend.. "Francis cut in infuriated
"Can you please mind your own damn business, you are only here because he permits you.... "Mary said back....
Jacob scoffs... "Look man, i know you don't know me and we might have started off on the wrong toes.. But i assure you, am cool..... "
"Cool........ "Francis intoned...... "Well i don't like you and i don't think you can be trusted... And to be honest, am glad we started off on a wrong foot...... "
"Francis...... "Mary queried....
"Come on Mary, do you know who this guy is, he is trying to get under your skin...... "
"Come on man, what's your problem, are you jealous....? Jacob ask irritated..
"You are getting too close to my woman... That's my problem... "

Leonard struggled as he stood up, he inhaled deeply and began to walk through the bushes with the pains in his legs....
He wonder where Noah is..... "Noah where are you"He shouted again but no answer came...
He would have listened to Noah when he ask him to reduce the speed. Everything is his fault and it's going to hurt him for the rest of his life if anything happens to Noah...
He called out Noah name again.. This time very loud but no reply came... He shudder wondering what could have happened to him...
He began to trace the prints of the motorcycle tyre until he got to the cliff.... He look down and the water buzzing....
He tremble with fear, then he quickly retrace his steps... He move away from the cliff and head back to where the bike was riding from, if he could find his way back, he can find Noah...
With a make up mind, he started walking back, drooping his eyes for anything... Any animal or snake hiss... He quivered as he thought of snakes.. He hates snakes... He began to look down.....
He grimace at the pains in his leg..
He exhales and began to walk faster.... Just then he heard whispering sound...
Fear engulfed him as the whispers become louder....
He frown when he thought they might be crickets.. Probably mocking him for not listening to his friend....
He look around the bush, there was no sign of road.... No sight of road... Just bushes.. Bushes, trees and wild animals...
He shiver at the thought of wild animals..
"Noah.. "He shout aloud again but no reply came.Noah was first to jump, he wonder where he mightbhave jump to... Where he might have fallen on....
His muscles cramp when he saw blood.. He look ahead,then he notice the blood left a trail on the ground to the low ground....
He couldn't move, couldn't talk, he just stood motionless with pounding heart staring at the blood......
"Oh my God, Noah, what has happened to you"he muttered with trembling mouth...
