A New Creation – Chapter 29A
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 hiss himself,” one of the boys answered.
“Okay,” Rough nodded thoughtfully and returned back to the car to pick up something.
She opened the safe of the car and took out a small transparent nylon containing bullets, she hid it in the pocket of her big hooded jacket. Without arousing suspicions she also told the boys she needed to pee too, she entered into the bush but not directly into the part that the first guy had entered through, when she was out of view to the boys by the car she then traced her way back to where the guy went through, she made sure to walk as slow and silent as possible to keep her presence unknown to the guy, she saw the guy standing with his phone to his ear, Rofiat kept a reasonable distance but could hear the guy’s voice from where she was.
“Baba na lie ooh…. You mean say una don commot from that place…. so na trap you wan set for dem Slimmy n Oj…. Haaa Baba you bad ooo” The guy kept on laughing silently but wickedly as Kong kept on telling him about the plans, Rofiat waited silently and patiently to see if the guy could talk some more. “Baba u no go believe say na dat Rough dey lead my team now, meee, woman dey lead my team….. Baba no talk say no be ordinary woman joor, woman na woman……Ok baba…. I sabi Rothman’s street na… Enh that house for number 57, sheybi na der me and you go hide weapon dat day wey your girl just dey worry us…. No wahala baba, no wahala as soon as everything finish, na der I go dey run come” the guy dropped the call, kept his phone in his pocket and walked back to where the boys by the car where.
Rofiat came out immediately behind him, the guy was shocked to the throat and was scared that she might have heard all his conversation.
“Someone should collect this guy’s phone and check his last caller” Rofiat ordered.
“For wetin na” the guy protested as she immediately got up to defend himself incase of any attacks.
“Do you have anything to hide” Rofiat asked.
“Wetin I wan get to hide na” the guy replied.
“Then bring out your phone, let’s check your last dialled or received call” Rofiat ordered again.
The guy paused and stared around calculating his odds and chances, the were four all of the, does he stand a chance of taking all of them out if he is fast enough, he pondered over it for a while.
“Okay Okay, let me bring out my phone” he mumbled as he swiftly quickly laid his hand on his gun behind his trousers and was about bringing it out, Rofiat who was already at alert shot him straight in the head even though she didn’t aim for any part of his body.
The remaining guys jerked back and all stared in surprise at what just played down, one of them then moved closer and them raised the guy’s shirt only to see his hands on a gun, the guy proceeded further and brought out the guy’s phone, fortunately the phone was still unlocked for whatever reasons, he scrolled the phone through to the caller’s log and exclaimed when he saw the last dialled.
“Na Kong number be the last the call wey hin receive oh” All of them but Rofiat who was already dialling Slimmy’s number had shock on their faces. Rofiat was dialling the number for the second time as Slimmy didn’t pick at first, luckily the call was picked the second time.
“Hello Capon” Rofiat Spoke to the phone with a pinch eagerness and excitement.
“Rough which one na, shey you no say my phone no suppose dey ring, we are about to launch an attack na” Slimmy complained.
“Boss it’s a trap, it’s a trap, you guys should return back here Asap” Rofiat scre-med on the phone.
“Rough you are making no sense, calm down and explain to me properly” Slimmy replied calmly.
“Okay, one of the guys that was in my team was giving out information to Kong, I caught him talking to Kong over the phone and from their conversation, I gathered that they are not in Rushi, it’s just a trap they are trying to lure you and Oj into” Rofiat explained.
Slimmy kept mute for a while as he thought everything through “Rough” he spoke after a moment of silence, just stay where you are, we will be there now so we can all make another strategy and formation all over again” Slimmy Replied and the line went dead.
Rofiat collected the dead guy’s phone and began to study the code and manner which he and Kong use in passing messages to each other because she knew they will have to send Kong a message with the guy’s phone to lure him into his own trap.

Oj began dialling Small’s number immediately Slimmy told him what Rofiat had just found out, Slimmy made a u-turn as they enroute back to where Rough and his team were.
“Hello Small”. Oj said.
“Yes baba” Small hailed.
“It’s a trap ooh, you guys should abort, head back to where team C is” Oj ordered.
“Yes boss” Small replied and the line went dead.

Kong went into the room where Halimat and Hadijat was being held, he looked at them and felt pity at how their once beautiful and glowing face now looked gloomy, sad and pained, though despite all that they still look beautiful but not as ravishing and glowing like before.
“When all this is over” Kong said “I will have one of you as my girlfriend because I see the two of you have soft s₱0t for Capons of fraternities, or who knows, I might just have the two of you for myself”
Kong started laughing hysterically as he enjoyed how everything was turning out, he stared at them waiting for one of them to speak back at him but when he got no reply from any of them, he started walking outside still laughing.
“I’d rather die” Hadijat spoke just as Kong was about to open the door “I’d rather die than be with a coward like you”
Kong turned back and gave her an evil stare “Die you shall die then” Kong replied and left the room.
Chapter 29B
“I’d rather die” Hadijat spoke just as Kong was about to open the door “I’d rather die than being with a coward like you”
Kong turned back and gave her an evil stare “Die you shall die then” Kong replied and left the room.
A message entered into Kong’s phone as Kong stepped into another room. He took out the phone from his pocket before he sank into a settee, he then opened the chat application.
“Baba, Slimmy don turn back o, im say igbo dey smell for Rushi.” He read the message from his informant.
“Igbo dey smell ke? Where im dey now?” Kong replied to the message hastily.
“I no know but he be like say them dey think say some people dey in,side that Rushi compound.” Another message entered into the phone.
“Nobody dey there na, na only the grenade wey we set for the last room dey. The thing go explode immediately anybody enter the room con step im foot near the thing.”
“I go update you anyhow the thing dey go sha,” another message entered before going offline.
“Shi*t!” Kong stamped his feet on the ground in anger, also hitting his fists on the arms of the chair. He got up and dropped his phone on the sofa, pacing angrily around.
“What kind of person was Slimmy?” He asked himself, he remembered two occasions when he had tried to lure Slimmy into death when they were sent on missions as co hitmen. “Why wouldn’t he just die and let the war just end?” He asked himself again, this time scratching his head with his fingers.

Rough entered into the backseat of the car as she saw Slimmy’s car approaching, she ordered for the guy seated behind the wheels to ignite the engine. Rough didn’t close the door but was waiting for Slimmy’s car to pass first but the car stopped as they leveled up.
“Rough, why una never go?” Slimmy wind down the glass and asked.
“I wan confirm something first,” she replied him.
“Make we comot for here now o, police fit appear soon.” Slimmy said to her in form of an advice. “Na the guy body we see for back?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, make we go caban first.” Slimmy said before winding up the glass. Their car moved and Rough’s team car followed behind.
**Fifteen minutes later**
Small and his team were already waiting at the Arch Angels mansion when team A and team B arrived. Some of the boys ran to open the gate immediately for Slimmy’s car to be driven in. Rough’s team car was parked outside like Small’s. Immediately after the opened gate was closed, Small and Rough marched in to meet their bosses while the younger boys who had gone with team A stepped out of the compound.
“What’s happening now?” Slimmy asked Rough as soon as she came into sight.
“I’m trying to scope Kong,” she replied and took out the phone she collected from the mole. “Is there any power bank here?” She asked. She had put on the camera of the phone to stop it from locking as there would be no one to unlock it it it did, now the battery was low.
Slimmy turned back to the driver’s side of his car and took out his solar energy power bank. He handed it to Rough who rested her back on the body of the car and connected the USB cord to the phone. She closed the camera and opened back WhatsApp. She began to type a message. Oj and Small also came closer to have a hint of what was happening.
“They set bombs into the last room of Rushi for us,” Rough said to the listening ears of her audience. “Kong knew we were coming there and he also has informants here with us; we should be more watchful of those juniors now.” She said and continued to chat in silence.
“But how Kong take get money for bomb na?” Slimmy asked aloud, although to himself.
“I think he’s been going out for operations without letting the house know; what I believe is that his recent frequent visits to nightclubs have been lies all the way. He was going out for operations while telling us he was going to club. And that is how he was able to lure several of the juniors into following him, most times he takes them along and pays them very well.”
“So you think he’s been doing all these while the Regionals have banned us from doing other jobs for the moment?”
“How else do you think he’s been getting all those monies to fund himself?” Rough said.
“It’s true,” Small joined, he took a quick glance at his boss who now had his narrow look on him, expecting him to reveal a secret. “I suspected Hercules’s recent excuse of clubbing too, Hercules never liked to club, he always complained of too much noise because of his ear problem.”
“We never suspected anything,” Slimmy said. “Kong was always clubbing before, so we just thought he was exhibiting his usual lifestyle.”
There was silence for some minutes, each of them were staring at Rough to give them a report, so that they could think of the next step. Small was frequently going out to check the boys at the gate.
“What’s going on?” Slimmy asked Rough impatiently.
“Wait!” She said, even though Slimmy wasn’t waiting, he was already peeping into the phone to read the conversation. “He’s shot falling…”

Kong was still pacing around the room and thinking of his next step when his phone beeped again, another message had entered.
“Baba, Slimmy has said we’re going to wait several metres away from Rushi and block all entrance to the place” he read the message from his informant.
“That means he’s trying to lay ambush for me?”
“Yes, he believes that you and the guys would be coming to Rushi or leaving soon. He would kill them and leave one alive to make sure the person leads him to where the girls are.”
“Hehe…” Kong typed in with a big grin smiley. “I’m sending my boys to wipe them out now, shey they are all fourteen.”
“Yes.”
“Okay, I’ll send only ten men. Since we know their plan, we have the advantage.”
++++
“Kong is sending boys to Rushi now, let’s ignore those ones and go straight to 57, Rothman’s street where the girls are. Hadijat’s life means so much to me.” Slimmy announced loudly. “We’ll call the police on the way and lure them into meeting Kong’s boys at Rushi.”
