BETRAYER IN DISGUISE??
Episode 18.

My dad phone began to ring and he picked up,
"Yes, he said.
"Be careful sir, the betrayer just made a call I don't know to whom, you guys need to be careful, the caller said.

"What are you saying? I asked you to keep all eyes on him and....... The call ended.
"What's wrong? An officer asked my dad.

"Great! Your officer just made a call, so let's expect visitors soon! My dad flamed up.
"Joan are we........... Gun shots were fired at us.

"Jesus Christ! I screamed and my dad went down with me as the cars stopped immediately.
I saw an officer fell and my dad covered me as we were at the back seat hearing festivals of gun shots scattered everywhere.

I was shivering and felt like passing out with no clue of if we are going to leave here alive or not.
"Hands up! We heard someone shout and there were calmness a bit.
"Don't move! Another shouted and the car door opened.

"You're safe now sir, someone said and we raised our head slowly.
"Is it over? My dad asked while i was trying to get myself back, but when I held my dad to sit I noticed i touched something wet and I looked at my hands.

"Dad, blood, I shakily said and my dad looked at himself to see he was bleeding.
"Sir you've been shot! An officer said helping him out of the car and i began to cry.

"Why don't i feel anything like i was shot? My dad asked as some officers were checking him.
"Maybe you were in shock or something, an officer replied and i was crying scared of losing my dad.

"Can we go now please? You have them right? I shouted.
"You'll be taken with your dad but we have unfinished business here, there are still more of them and we have backups coming, one replied.

"Interesting,dont tell me my dad will comtinue bleeding until the back ups come, please he's bleeding and we need to get the bullet from him, i said.
"Joan that's what I'm trying to tell you, take them with you, An officer said and my dad was put in one of the cars with 2 officers that accompanied us as escorts.

"Dad are you okay? I kept asking pressing hard the cloth that was placed on his shoulder to absorb the blood.
"Joan I'm okay, I'm only glad it wasn't you, i was so scared out there, my dad replied.

"It shouldn't be you too, what if you were hit in a bad place? What would I have told mom? I asked.
"Joan just stop okay, nothing has happened and nothing will, my dad replied and the officer with us had a call.

"Yes, he picked up.
"He's been arrested, we just had a solid proof he's been conniving with the gang, the caller said.

"Its obvious, the officer said.
"How are things over there? The caller asked.

"We lost some of us and Joan father is wounded, we are on the way to the hospital, he replied.
"We've sent backups, you may meet them on the way, the caller said.

"I know, the officer said and dropped the call and i noticed he was sad.
"What's wrong sir? I asked and he looked at me and sniffed.

"anything wrong? My dad added when he noticed it.
"My friend was among those who didn't make it, he replied and i closed my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Things wouldn't have been this way if the intruder didn't alert them. I'm sure we would have taken them on surprise, my dad said
"I personally want to strangle that idiot with my hands, he killed him! The officer shouted.

" But i don't get it, Why did you leave him With a phone if you knew he was the suspect? That was a terrible mistake if you ask me, i said.
"We didn't want him to suspect us you know because it was all a guess work and he proved us right, my dad replied and i cleaned my face.

"Great, we have 4 of them and i hope we get more especially Favor cousin, that's more important so this whole drama will end, I'm tired of it already. How many more is going to die? I asked.
"No one is going to die! The officer screamed at me and my dad held my hands as a sign to be quiet knowing the officer wasnt cool that moment.

We saw the backups passed with 3 vehicles and waved at us without stopping and this time they carried more ammunitions than what we carried.
"Nice, i said when i saw them but my father was fainting.

"Please are we still far from the hospital? He's passing out, I said to them.
"We're close, they replied and my mom call came on phone and i heaved knowing the officer who just called must have told her my dad was hit.

I rejected the call twice and we arrived at the hospital which my dad was rushed in and attended to immediately.
My mom called again and I picked up,
"Mom he's fine, i said immediately.
"Joan, Joan what happened? Where is he? She asked breathing hard.

"Calm down mom, I'll text you the address, dad is fine, i replied.
"Send it immediately, my mom said and i dropped the call texting her the hospital address.

Minutes later my mom, Peter and the madam whose name i still didn't know arrived and my mom rushed to me.
I hugged her first to comfort her while i felt her heart beating fast, my mom have a first hand in worry and fear.

"Mom he was only wounded on his shoulder, he got that because we are attacked before we got to the building, all thanks to the betrayer who alerted them, i said and she nodded.
"Thanks to the careless officers too, my brother carefully murmured.

"can i see him? She asked.
"I haven't seen him either but the doctors will soon be out,its not something that is too serious, i replied and led her to sit down.

"how are you Joan? The madam asked touching me.
"I'm fine ma thank you, i replied and my brother only tapped me on my shoulders saying nothing as he stood waiting for the doctors with us.

Minutes later the doctor came out telling us my father is okay but he lost lot of blood,
"Can we see him now? My brother asked.
"Uhmmm yes but he wont be speaking to you today, the doctor replied.

"Its alright just seeing him will do please, my mom said and the doctor nodded taking us to where my dad is...........

That night on our way back to the madam house after staying with my dad for a while, a call came on the woman phone,
"Good news i presume, the woman asked.
"Absolutely, we have them, the caller replied.

"And the lady? The woman asked.
"With us, the caller replied.

"Now that's the good news, please come back safely and well done, the woman said.
"Thanks ma'am, the caller said and she dropped the call smiling at us.

"Finally over right? My mom asked.
"Exactly, the woman replied and i breathed out.....
