A new Creation
Chapter 28A
“Welcome Baba” the guys holding Halimat and Hadijat captive hailed Kong as he entered through the back door.
“Any info” Kong asked as he began to take the hooded jacket that he wore to enable him to conceal his identity, on his was to the building, he had a gut feeling that he was being followed but he couldn’t s₱0t anyone, he just quickened his steps and decided to enter through the back door.
“They have Hercules and from the info I have, seems like he is singing or has already sang” one of the guys replied.
“Hercules” Kong smiled “I have always know him to be one hell of a weakling, let him sing all he wants to them”
“But baba what’s the formation na, what if they find out our cover, na only seven of us they here, the rest are either dead or being watched by Slimmy and Oj”
“I got this covered man, I have contacted those mercenaries that worked for Terror, all we have to do is press the button and they will be here in a speed of light”
“Correct” the seven of them hailed.
“Which room you keep them this girls”
“That room wey dey after the kitchen”
Kong walked away from the living room majestically towards the said room. The house was well furnished and decorated, the house belonged to Malia, she lived there until she decided to completely move her things to Kong’s apartment after much persuasion from Kong himself, as he walked towards the room, he began reminiscing his love life with Malia, the girl who had loved him genuinely, the girl who had sacrificed a lot for him and completely trusted him without ever doubting the love he never had for her. From on set it has always been about the money he wanted to get from Malia, he had never for one day loved her back, he had managed to fool her all along by putting up acts that he was a cool headed boy, he had also put up acts fot Gentle and Slimmy ever since Slimmy became the Capon, he had laid down all his egos in order not to ar-use suspicions, and everything paid off for him when he saw the look on Gentle’s face before he killed him. That look gives him happiness anytime he thinks about it, he had never thought it will be as fulfilling as that.
He barged into the room without knocking and switched on the lights immediately he entered, there they were starring at him with embittered and disgusted look.
“Hello girls” Kong greeted them in a mockery tone while Hadijat and Halimat kept mute and just starred at him.
“I hope my boys are feeding you well” He mocked again.
“King Kong or whatever you are called I have always known that you are nothing but a traitor and a sneaky bas***d” Hadijat said with a strong hatred in her voice, though she was weak and sounded weak but there was still authority in her voice.
“And I have always known you are a spoilt brat too and if you don’t know let me tell you, I am Gentle’s murderer as well as you” Halimat and Hadijat both raised their gazes to Kong “You want to tell me you don’t know, why are you acting surprised, if you hadn’t successfully come in between him and Slimmy then we wouldn’t have been able to take him out at least not that easily”
“Have you no shame” Halimat scre-med “You betrayed and killed someone that is supposed to be your friend and yet you come here to pin it on my sister, ohh you are so shameless” Hadijat started crying.
“And you think you are a saint yourself” Kong began laughing as he was enjoying as everything was playing out “If you had not occupied Oj with s€×, he would have done something about the missing weapon earlier and that way Slimmy wouldn’t have blamed White Tigers for Gentle’s death so therefore my friend Halimat, you have the bloods of everyone that has died since this battle started in your hands. We are all guilty” Kong laughing uncontrollably and annoyingly.
Halimat stared at him for a long time, she was so angry she could put a bullet into his head right that minutes, with all the anger burning her on the chair where she was tied to, she gathered a lot of spit in her mouth and spat on Kong’s face. Kong took his time to clean out the spit and as soon as he was done cleaning his face he gave Halimat a resounding slap that made her fall to the ground together with the wooden chair she was tied to.

Slimmy drove into the compound in anger, he was totally upset about what Ace said as regards Gentle’s dues, he was angry he didn’t even ask him how he was holding up after his brother’s death, he didn’t even asked if his brother’s death has been avenged, anger filled his thoughts, Rofiat followed him behind as they both walked into the lounge. Slimmy walked straight into the mini bar, brought a bottle of tequila and poured into his mouth directly. Gentle’s death weighed upon him all over again, be felt guilty for his death and the only thing that can redeem him is to make sure all his killers dies before he buries him.
Rofiat rushed towards Slimmy and grabbed the bottle of tequila from him while Slimmy just starred at her blankly.
“How much do you intend to drink in order to drown your sorrows” Rofiat asked.
“As much as it’s needed, I just need something to help me through all of these” Slimmy replied.
“Naah what you need now is that anger you are feeling in,side, don’t try to hold it back. You need the anger for when we meet Kong and his group of traitors” Rofiat returned the bottle of tequila back to the bar and led Slimmy to a chair.
Slimmy sat down and was contemplating on the kind of death he would give Kong when ever he is apprehended when his phone started ringing.
“Hello Oj” he picked up at the first ring.
“How far Slimmy” Oj hailed.
“Has he sang yet”
“Yeah, we know where they are being held now” Oj replied.
“Good. How many fully fit boys do you have now”
“Like 7 or 8 at most”
“Okay I think I should be able to raise like 8 or so here also. We strike tomorrow morning”
“Yeah tomorrow sounds fair enough”
“Cool” Oj said and terminated the call.
Chapter 28B
*The next morning**
Slimmy and OJ were discussing behind the gate of the Arch Angels mansion while their boys were assembled outside the gate with three cars there, all ready for the rescue mission. The Arch Angels had a total of eight men while the Tigers had seven, most of them weren’t dressed fully in their uniforms but only had a touch of their colours on their clothes, except for their leaders who were fully dressed.
“We can’t just go together, some of our boys have to wait as backup,” Slimmy was saying to OJ as they strategized their movements. “Maybe your assistant should wait here with Rough and some of the boys from both teams while we lead some other boys there.”
“Sounds okay,” OJ agreed. “So how many boys are you suggesting we go with?”
“Humm… I think the formation should be like this,” OJ began to demonstrate with his hands. “Let’s split into three teams; both of us would lead the first team, let’s call it team A. Rough could lead the second team, Team B while your assistant leads the third team, Team C. Since we are fifteen altogether, each team should have five people in it, that means the both of us are going to get three more people to join us. Now, ” Slimmy squatted and picked up a small broomstick, he began to sketch something on the floor.
“There are two major routes to the place,” he continued, this time illustrating with the diagram. “Team A would take the right route while team B, the left but they won’t get to the place with us, they’ll wait at a close distance. Team C would also take the right route and wait at a reasonable distance too. And when we get there and we see what’s on ground, we’ll contact the necessary team or both if needed.” Slimmy finished explaining and got up.
“Nice strategy! ” OJ applauded, staring at Slimmy’s face with a smile. He secretly wished he could enroll and learn some tactics from the Arch Angels after the battle but the ego he had as a rival cult leader would never allow that.

“Here,” Kong was squatting behind a “Ghana must go” bag, bringing out bundles of money in two hundred naira notes and handing them over to the boys in front of him. “We have nothing to do with these girls, they aren’t our real goals, they are just a means to an end.” He looked up and said to them. Then he rose up to his feet after handing a bundle to the last of the twenty boys.
“Slimmy and OJ are our main goals now, and they are coming for the girls already, I already got a text message from one of the spies saying they are in their way to Rushi.” Kong said to the boys. “The goal is to capture Slimmy and OJ alive because I want to make them concede defeat and I’ll make a video record of them, to announce to the world that I’ve finally taken over. We will kill the rest of the boys straightaway. The only reason we would kill Slimmy or OJ before making them concede is if they claim to be stubborn or want to give us too much tough time. Remember, we have a greater advantage because we outnumber them and we also know all of their steps, let’s use this advantage to kill them all.” He paused and looked at all of his boys faces, just like the late Host used to. “Does everyone understand?” He shouted in a determined tone.
“Yes!” They all replied with a different type of determination in their voices. Theirs was not determination to take over but it was the determination stirred by the money on their palms.
Kong took in a deep breath and then signaled to one of the boys to pick up the bag of money and take it into another room. The money was what he had been able to make in just few weeks after Host had died and he became the major hitman and guardian of the Arch Angels’ arsenal.
While the rest of the Arch Angels and Tigers had been enjoying their moment of peace after the treaty was signed, Kong and Hercules had been working underground, making money by carrying out assassination jobs and political thuggery with the weapons of their cults. They had their proposed takeover well strategized already but Gentle’s disagreement with Slimmy gave them an early opportunity to start.
Kong’s phone notification tone sounded, he took it out immediately and swiped down the notification bar. “We just stopped on the way now, we’re waiting at some distance from Rushi. I don’t know what for and I don’t know if Capon and the rest are still heading for Rushi or going elsewhere ” he read. He looked at the eager faces of his boys and made a chuckle. Then he began to type a reply to the message. “Can you move away from the group, I need to speak with you and intimate you on some things” Kong sent. Few seconds later, he got the reply. “I’ll enter into the bush in three minutes, you can call then.”

Rough sat on the bonnet of the car eagerly waiting for instructions from her Capon, as it was now, she was the second in command of the Arch Angels. From time to time, she’ll glance back to the boys who were standing around the car, close to the bush and either discussing things in low tones or soliloquizing but she also took notice of one who had been busy with his phone all through.
Not that she was too strict like the late Host who wouldn’t allow anyone use their phones in his presence but there was something about his seriousness with the phone. One more thing that got her suspicious about the boy was the way he vibrated when their eyes met. At first, she discarded his vibration to think that he was only afraid of being caught chatting with his phone by the second in command but she began to ponder more on it later. No one under normal circ-mstances would have a mood for chatting or playing games or whatever he was doing with the phone when they were going on a serious mission like this.
To make matters worse, the boy rose from the boot of the car where he was previously seated and said something to the other boys before he began to walk into the bush.
Rough climbed down the bonnet and walked to the back of the car. “Where did he say he was going to?” She asked the rest of the boys.
“He wants to ease himself,” one of the boys answered.
“Okay,” Rough nodded thoughtfully and returned back to the car to pick up something.
