[b] EPISODE 18
Indeed Blade and his boys were dhem serious with the job, especially when they knew they have collected advance payment...
They drove directly to their camp/hideout, which no one can identify easily.
Immediately they got there, they brought David out of the boot and blindfolded him with a black apparel.
He was taken inside at once, and told to lay on the floor with his lips kissing the sandy soil situated in the building foundation...
___________________________
DAVID'S APARTMENT
Okoro who heard the noise made by the hoodlum outside, knew they have gotten his boss.
He ran straight to Jenifer who was inside meditating, and gave her the news
"Don't tell me he was taken away by those very boys that came for him" She muttered
"Madam I nor dey lie, truth oo God. I see them with this my two korokoro eyes" Okoro explained as he shines his eyes like that of a thief man torch...
"What sort of rubbish is this? I told him not to go but he refused. Telling me, he is going to the station to report" She murmured
"Madam Watin we go now na?, make I go bring my cutlass?" Okoro suggested
"Please just leave me alone, what will your cutlass do??" She angrily questioned
"Haba madam! It can cut na?" Okoro stupidly exaggerated
"Mtcheww.... Excuse me" Jenifer sighed before going in, leaving Okoro standing in the middle of confusion
She went into the sitting room and picked up her phone to make some calls. The first person she called was David but his number was switched off, she knew they must have collected his phone from him.
She hastily called her friend Ada, who is Kelvin's girlfriend, and she picked up without letting the ring-back tune alert Jenifer. They exchanged pleasantries before she narrated the whole story to her, Ada who wasn't comfortable with news, advised her to contact the police immediately so they can act as soon as they could...
Jenifer concurred to Ada's advised, and called the state commissioner of police, who gave her assurance of finding David as soon as they can.
The commissioner also requested for her to come over to the station, for police extract and other entries which she agreed to.
*****************************
David's anger has gotten to the peak, he knew someone close to him was behind his kidnap and he has traced it to Cynthia who occasionally imposed threat on him...
He was panting and breathing heavily as he waits for the gangsters to inflight their wrath on him. But they didn't touch him, as the instructions passed to them was to bring him alive.
Blade who don't play with his payment, called Naomi after about 1hr of their arrival;
"Madam! He is here now, so I am waiting for your next instruction, and my balance payment" He said while smiling
"Don't worry, you will get your payment in the next 5mins, but are you sure you got the right person?" Naomi questioned just to confirm
"Madam, I nor be apprentice for the job na, I don fall your hand before? Abeg come and see with your eyes" Blade replied
"Okay" She said before ending the call
All this while David was paying attention to what Blade was saying. He now confirmed that a lady was behind it, hence Blade was always saying Madam. The question he couldn't answer now is the exact person.
Blade and two of his boys went outside to wait for Naomi and Cynthia, while they instructed one of their man to watch David keenly.
David technically, was timing himself. He knew 3mins had gone out of the 5mins given by the so called madam. He had to act now or no more, if he want to escape alive...
He finally got an idea which he believe could work or fail. Since there is no harm in trying, he decided to carry it out;
"Eh bros abeg na, shit dey catch me... I don even piss for body but I nor fit shiit for body na!" He said, pretending to be really pressed
"You dey talk to me?" The guy who was asked to take watch on him asked
"Yes sir, please" David begged
The guy walked to him and saw that he has truly wee on his body.
"Old man like you dey piss for body, upon all the money when you get... Com'on stand up" He said with pity
David stood up and walked briskly, as the guy took him to the back of the building to excrete.
David being a wise guy purposely dropped the first set of shiit (faeces) on the guys' leg which made him gave David a sounding slap...
"You dey craze? So good wen I do don turn bad eh!, In short I nor blame you, na me wen carry you come kaka I blame" The guy said with anger written all over him
"Arrhhh! Bros!! Una tie my eyes with piece of cloth na, how I won take know" David replied holding his jaw which was slapped, he never thought the guy will slap him but anyway he was happy his plan was working...
The angry guy, took off the cloth they used in blindfolding him and told him to hurry up, and clean his leg with his shirt when he is done.
David who was still working on his plan remain squatting. The guy couldn't wait anymore and angrily took off David shirt, which he intended to use in wiping off the faeces David deposited on his leg.
Immediately he bent down to wipe it off, David stood up and rushed towards him. Before he could retaliate, David has pushed him to the floor and collected his gun which slip off his grip...
In no time, David used the gun to hit him on his head several times before running out of the scene...
Blade and the remaining guys got back with Naomi and Cynthia and met no one, they knew David and the last guy didn't passed through the front, so they decided to check the back of the uncompleted building and met their man down....
"What the fu_ck happened here?" Blade scolded the guy who was in pain as blood bump out from his head
"Heeeeeeeee passsssed through that way" the guy managed to voice out before collapsing....
"This is rubbish, you guys can't deliver a simple job" Naomi quarried
"They can still go after him na, more also his car is at the front and there is no way he can be that fast without a car" Cynthia suggested
"You two go get him, while you BOMB follow me let's block the other route with his car" Blade instructed
They all ran off leaving just Cynthia and Naomi there. The both friends were really pissed off with the happening, as they thought they have succeeded in getting the heartless David, only to come to realise he had escaped...
David who applied an unexpected speed manage to locate the tar road, after several minutes of marathon race in the bush path.
He knew he wasn't safe yet as he tried to stop vehicles that were passing the road.
Not quite long he saw his own SUV car coming from a narrow path, he knew it was those hoodlums and he started running again.
Luckily for him, a car just matched an automatic break closed to him.... He didn't bother to question or look at the persons face as they zoom off the lonely road with full speed....

[b]] EPISODE 19
[color=blue]Continuation from last scene[/color]
David hopped in lackadaisically without even starring at driver's face, when he accidentally took a cursory look, what he saw made his heart skipped a beat. It was Sandra, the girl who broke up with him two days to their wedding, the girl who turned him to a heartless player...
" Sandra!! " David exclaimed in shocked...
" Yeah David!! It's your Sandra " She replied smiling...
David was dumbfounded, he was too tensed to reply, he just kept quiet while she kept on driving.
"Where are you taking me?" David voiced out after minutes of silence..
"You look disheveled. I'm taking you to my house in order for you to clean up" She answered nonchalantly..
David remained mute, while she kept driving until they got to a building which seems like a bungalow. She hit the horn while the gateman quickly opened the gate, after which she drove in.
David and Sandra alighted from the car and walked in;
"That's the bathroom" She pointed to a door and handed him a towel.
David walked to the bathroom and took his bath. When he was taking his bath, he remembered how Sandra broke up with him...
[color=red]Flashback[/color]
"Sandra please, you don't have to do this now, our wedding is just tomorrow and doing this will bring disgrace to our families“ David pleaded as he knelt down, holding the dress of Sandra.
Tears could be perceptibly seen on his eyes.
“You're just too susceptible, you thought I loved you? I never had a ting of feeling for you. Let me advice you, take your time to study the next lady that you will meet" Sandra unsympathetically poured out to him.
.
"Please Sandra; just marry me, even if the marriage does not last for 2 months. Please, you know my mum could die if I break this news to her. She had already invited all her friends as well as my Dad, who has already invited his business associates. Please anything you need, I will give to you; just don't call off the wedding” David pleaded as tears rolled down his cheeks.
Sandra bursted into hysterical laughter "I don't need your money, this is what I was sent to do to you; torment you and leave you and your damn family emotionally ramshackle”
David was taken aback as he stared at the lady he had loved and cherished so dearly, entrusting his life to her. He still couldn’t believe that the innocent emotional lady he had looked up to was as wicked as the devil. He would have strangled to death, anyone that would have told him the ugly part of her, some seconds ago;
"Why?" was all he could be able to mutter.
"You will find out when the time is right" She replied and left David who was still on his knees.
"You will find out when the time is right" her words echoed in his ears.
[color=red]Present[/color]
"You will find out when the time is right" That was the words which kept echoing in his ear.
Now that he has found Sandra, he had made up his mind to find out what prompted her and several girls to breakup with him...
He hurriedly took his bath and walked to the sitting room. He met a T-shirt on the bed, it was men's clothes.
He didn't need a soothsayer to tell him Sandra kept it for him. In no time, he quickly wore the clothes and walked to the sitting room with the intention to asked her the question he had been pondering about for years, she alone knows the answer.
"Hey Sandra" David murmured inaudible as he approached her, he calmly sat down on the couch facing her...
"Where have you been all this years?" David asked starring at her.
"I had been around, just busy with work "She smiled..
"You remember when you broke up with me, there is something you told me" David breathed..
"And what was that?" She curiously answered...
"You told me, you were sent to breakup with me to leave me emotionally ramshackle, that I will find out when the time is right, so do you mind telling me now?" David asked smiling, trying not to sound serious and desperate..
"Nah let's just forget about that, it's the past now" Sandra waved at him..
"Please just tell me, I am just curious to know" David pleaded holding her hands making her to succumbed to his request..
"Okay it's Mr Emmanuel that sent me and the rest girls, I mean the current governor, he wanted to make life a living hell for you and your family, which I don't know why" She calmly told him..
David was dumbfounded, downcast, perplexed and devastated. He couldn't have imagined Mr. Emmanuel was the one that turned him into what he is now, and him alone caused the death of his parents, making him to loath the female folks with passion...
"Mr Emmanuel is also Jennifer's Father" David calmly remembered...
