THE DANGEROUS GAME
(THE DISCOVERIES)
WRITTEN BY CHIBUIKE SMART
EPISODE 24
It was already mid night, as everyone was already deep at sleep, but in the mansion of Chief Obi, the guards could be seen roaming around vigilantly, and we’re very much on the alert, as light from the middle of the swimming pool, illuminated various parts of the building, plus the standing electrical lamps mapped strategically in various places.
..
The gatekeeper, who sat outside at his own boys quarter beside the gate and was already fast asleep on his seat, while he nodded severally and picking up his head back.
..
Merciless was already up the roof of the gatekeeper’s building as he gently observed.
..
He picked up a light stone that he had stuffed in his pocket and drew it a little distance away from where the gateman was and the gateman quickly got up as the noise attracted him, while he walked on the direction he heard under where Merciless was.
..
Smiling wickedly, Merciless gently drew down a rope that already had it’s noose knotted and the gap, between the tied rope could contain the head of the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was still looking around, when he felt something fell down from upwards, moving smoothly over his head and clutched tightly on his neck, before he could process what was happening, he felt a strong pull and saw his leg leaving the ground, while he held unto the rope that was strangling him to death, tight but it was of no use, as Charles tightly held on the rope until the gatekeeper died from strangulation, before gently dropping him.
..
He lightly jumped down from the roof, as he started his journey towards the mansion.
..
A guard was walking towards Merciless direction, when he felt a hand grab his neck and forcefully twisted, and the guard, fell down lifeless.
..
While Merciless, gently and noiselessly infiltrated the house. He threw a dagger at another guard and it struck his neck, knocking him lifeless instantly.
..
Merciless continued with the killing, and avoiding some guards who were not aware of him if possible. Simply the fact remains that no one knew that he was already there.
…..
Chief Obi, who was sleeping suddenly got up from his bed as he was feeling uneasy as he sensed danger. Immediately he got up, the door gently creaked open to reveal a young with a red mask and a shiny gold 🔫 pistol in hand.
..
“Merciless.”
Chief Obi, muttered as he unclad fear could be seen in his eyes.
..
Charles smiled wickedly under his mask, as his l-ips curled up in show down disdain.
….
“Why are you after me?”
Chief Obi asked.
..
“You seven old men, messed with the wrong man. You left my friend nearly dead.”
…
He said hoarsely and pulled the already silenced gun as he fired three silent shots at Chief Boniface forehead, but surprisingly nothing happened as the bullets bounced back.
..
“You can’t kill me.”
Chief Obi muttered gently and slowly at the silent Merciless, who looked expressionless under his mask.
….
“But one thing. We have nothing to do with Jeff’s attack and the young man who is lying in the hospital, but my main suspicion is probably someone amongst the eight of men Is the mole.”
Chief Obi said.
…..
“Thanks for the information. But you would still die anyways. Even if guns can’t kill you, there are many ways to kill a rat.”
…
He forcefully pushed Chief Obi, to the bed as he suffocated underneath, struggling for his life, after few minutes of struggling effortlessly, Chief Obi, straightened up a dead man. Smothered to death with a pillow.
…
After the operation, Merciless left the room, as he escaped without notice.
………..

AUTHOR’S NARRATION CONTINUES………
.
Upon, having his heel hit the door, Mr. Smith tried hiding but he was too late, as he felt a hand grip him tightly, as he got face to face with a huge bouncer, who looked like he had never left the gym for once all his life.
….
“Bring him in.”
A gentle but cold voice echoed from the office and Smith got pushed in roughly into the room, as may he buttered and sugared for consumption if it wasn’t the one and only Sen. Edeth, talking.
“What did you hear?”
Sen. Edeth gently asked him.
“I heard nothing s………”
He was still trying to lie, when Sen. Edeth brandished his walking stick on his head, knocking his sense aright, as he spewed the truth immediately, while dabbing his swollen head from the s₱0t he was being hit, as his head was still rising like that of a pig.
….
“Sir, I suggest we waste him.”
The boss of the cooperation said as he was clearly uncomfortable. Mr. Smith’s face changed drastically as he knelt down on the floor, tears flowing from his eyes, while he still robbed his swollen head.
…….
“Sir, please I have a family and they so very much need me and I can’t die, living my children, fatherless and my wife a widow.”
Mr. Smith knelt down in fear.
….
At times your foes can capitalize on your fears, to control you.
….
Senator Edeth, smiled and shook his head at the other man and said.
………
“No I need him, I need this sort of man. Don’t kill him, from today onwards you have to do as I say or I would clear your family off the map of this world.”
