A New Creation

Chapter 30A

“How far, una don reach there”

 

“Yes baba, we don reach” One of Kong’s boys replied at the other end of the line.

“Una see anybody there” Kong asked again.

“We don sight their car but we never see anybody, I will call you back, we want to take a closer look at the car”

The call was terminated and Kong paced around the room, he couldn’t wait for all of these to be over already. He was still moving around haphazardly when his phone started ringing.

“How far” Kong said into the phone with a lot of uneasiness.

“It’s empty, Kargo’s dead body is right here. We have been tricked” the guy replied

“You people should retreat back here Asap” Kong ordered.

“Errrmm I don’t think that will be possible, the cops are here, it’s an ambush…” The guy managed to reply before Kong started hearing sounds of gunshots on the other end of the line.

“Shiiiiit” Kong cussed as he quickly ran out of the room and entered into the living room where the rest of the boys were.

“You all should arm yourselves right now, I am sure that Slimmy and Oj are headed in this direction right this minute” Oj said as he started loading bullets into his own gun himself.

A group of five men were seen in a very beautiful mansion, they all sat on a round table. While some were smoking hemps and cigarette, some were just drinking alcoholic wines and whiskeys. The setting of the house was themed with green, everything was green except for the ceiling which was white, they all continued with whatever they were doing until one of them stood up.

“I swear pon Jah rastafaria me gon make that guy pay him dues with him blaad” Ace weaving his dreadlocks around, that was how he exhibits his anger whenever his anger was at it’s peak.

“Ace calm down first” Emperor, also a regional leader and one of the guys sitting on the roundtable cautioned Ace.

“Whatcu mean calm down home boy, watchu mean calm down, watta guan” Ace replied angrily.

“My friend calm your nerves and sit your fu***ng azz down there” Emperor shouted back at him.

Ace immediately brought out his revolver and pointed it at Emperor. Emperor stood up and moved closer to Ace placing the gun on his own head.

“Shoot me coward, shoot me” Emperor dared.

“Even after five years that both of you had graduated from university, you both still see each other as rivals” Cent cuts in as he stepped in between both of them and Separated them.

“No mind them jaare, make them they fight like cat and dog every time we get meeting” Ghost joked as he stood up and walked to the fridge to Bring out another bottle of wine.

“Guys can we proceed with the meeting now” Lexi beckoned on them.

Ace, Emperor, Ghost, Cent and Lexi are the five regional leaders of the Arch angels, they controlled the major affairs of the fraternity while Lexi acts as the leader of the five, the staff of leadersh¡p was always been rotated among the five of them. Host was supposed to be the next capon to join the regional leaders but unfortunately he couldn’t live long enough, Slimmy has also been considered to have the attributes needed to be a regional leader but Ace who has always seen Slimmy as the younger version of Emperor had opposed the notion right from the start, Emperor who has grown to like Slimmy so much because he reminded him of his dealings when he was also a capon, a co-capon actually.

Emperor and Ace used to be best friends when they both were freshers in the university but their friendsh¡p faded away in the quest for power, Ace saw Emperor as a major threat to him being the Capon while Emperor hated Ace due to his thirst for blood and his trigger happy life style, Ace was always ready to kill anyone and anything blocking his part, rumours had it that he killed his parents by himself just to prove to people how heartless he is. Despite all his ruggedity and crazy lifestyle, there was only one person that was never and will never be afraid of him, Emperor. After long fights about who was going to be made Capon between the two of them, a compromise was reached that both of them should be made Co-capons..

“Strong men, what do we say we do about this Slimmy’s issue” Lexi asked.

“I’ll say we give him more time, say like a week at least” Emperor said.

“And if at the end of next week, he still refuse to pay his dues and still relates with enemy gang” Ghost asked as he puffed some smoke into the air.

“Then we cut his wings, strip him of being an angel and kill him” Cent replied with all seriousness.

“Sounds fair” Lexi replied.

“When the time comes to kill him, I will like to lead that attack” Ace said as he stared straight into Emperor’s eyes.

“Granted” Lexi replied Ace.

Kong alongside some boys barged into the room where Halimat and Hadijat were being held, they loosed the ropes that was used in tying them and they marched them forward to the living room. Everyone in the living room were armed to the teeth except for Halimat and Hadijat who were made to sit on the two sitter couch, they had no idea what was happening but they knew whatever was about to go down is not favourable to the boys in the room as they all had unhappy looks on their faces.

“Do not let them out of sight until you get a go ahead from me and if in any case you think I have been taken down, Killed them both” Kong paused and stared into Hadijat’s frightened face and smiled “Kill this one first” he ordered as he kept on stroking Hadijat’s hair with his gun.

They all went outside immediately leaving only one of the boys with Halimat and Hadijat that has been tied together again. No sooner than they all stepped outside they saw Slimmy and Oj’s car approaching.

Chapter 30B

Slimmy suddenly pulled over few metres close to the supposed place. The car coming behind them pulled over too. He brought out his revolver and started to put in bullets.

 

“This is number 39, the house is supposed to be 57.” Oj said to him.

“I know, you all should take out your guns and prepare to defend any attack.”

“But why? Why don’t we go closer a little bit?” Oj questioned, nevertheless bringing out the gun at Slimmy’s order. He hated the way Slimmy acted like the boss in charge of the rescue operation, forgetting that there were supposed to be two masters in it. He believed that Slimmy should have asked him before taking the decision to pull over at a far distance to the place, contrary to their initial plan.

For Slimmy, he was only being cautious. He had been in the Arch Angels with Kong and even presided over the betrayal as his capon for few weeks, so he knew an Arch Angel’s strategy when he sees one. He needed no one to tell him where Kong and his men were again when he saw some boys walking out from a compound straight to an opposite store and taking side glances at their direction. He knew Kong had gotten news and was expecting them, he knew they were being waited for at the gate of the house. But he couldn’t mention what he saw to Oj or tell him about the tactics Kong had put to play, it would mean revealing a secret to one’s potential future enemy.

“We can’t go closer anymore, they’ve seen us and they are waiting for us at the entrance already.” Slimmy explained then he opened the door, he placed a leg outside the car first before turning back to take a cap. He fixed it on his head and turned to Oj whose eyes were squinted, staring at the front to see what Slimmy had seen which made him state that they had been seen.

“I can’t see anyone,” Oj retorted.

Slimmy chuckled, he didn’t know how to tell Oj that the Arch Angels never called a number as it was, they always added ten to it if was in tens and one hundred to it if the number was in hundreds. For example, if an Arch Angel member was to call No. 70 for another member, he called it 80 and if he was to call 450, he called it 550. So when Kong had called No. 57 to the mole, he must have meant 47.

“You no see those guys wey carry drink dance waka for there now?” Slimmy asked, pointing some metres before them.

“Those two drunk guys wey waka pass, throw bottle for ground?” Oj questioned.

“Yes,” Slimmy affirmed.

“So them no be street guys?” Oj asked, kind of rhetorically because he didn’t wait for a reply before opening the door to his side also.

“You stay with here with the doors opened while I go a little bit forward with some of the boys,” Slimmy said to Oj, stopping him from stepping outside. “I’ll signal to you either to come forward or to retreat and if you get any signal from Rough and Small, you’ll have to make signals to me, you can push the horn.”

Oj stopped and looked around their environment first, their car was parked in a space in front of a government secondary school gate, an open football field was beside the school while opposite it was a nylon company with a huge gate and very long walls.

“No,” Oj refused, “I’ll go while you stay behind and wait for the signal from Rough and Small.”

Slimmy stared silently, surprised at the manner at which Oj refused, he thought they were supposed to be thinking like a team. “Okay, you can go. I’ll push the horn once if I want you to retreat and I’ll push it twice if I get signals from Rough before coming to join you.” Slimmy finally agreed and placed back his leg into the car while Oj stepped out after signaling to one of the Tigers who was in the car with them.

“Rough, can you see anything yet?” Small asked in low tones, joining Rough where she was seated on a long wooden bench, her head and part of her face covered with a cap. It was in front of a small kiosk where soft drinks and snacks were sold. Rough had to buy a bottle of Coke and use the opportunity to sit on front of the kiosk.

Rough turned back quickly to look at him and make sure that he wasn’t going to spoil their plans. She turned back after being satisfied that he was dressed in a way no one could identify him if he was s₱0tted from afar.

“Yes, I’ve seen my capon’s car and some boys coming out of the house.” She replied him in low tones too, careful not to allow the woman in,side the kiosk hear the conversation.

“Some boys, out of which house? Isn’t this house 57?” Small asked turning to point to a large bungalow not too far behind. He had been surprised when part of the plan was wait somewhere after driving past 57 and not to wait before 57. He and his boss had initially argued but Slimmy had convinced them, saying they needed to stay in between or the after the house. Both of them reluctantly agreed not knowing that the Arch Angels had it in mind that Kong could have been speaking to the mole in the Arch Angels’ top secret language.

Rough gulped down some liquid from the bottle of Coke and passed the remaining to Small, wanting to distract him a little while she thought of how to explain to him that she wasn’t monitoring house 57 but 47.

‘Which time did you see the boys, I didn’t see any?” Small asked again, after swallowing some liquid from the bottle of Coke.

“I think I made an error while listening to the guy, he must have mentioned 47 not 57.” Rough replied.

“Okay,” Small took a pause to look in direction of house 47, then he saw two boys hiding behind a wall opposite the house, taking out some weapons from the floor. He also saw someone occasionally opening the gate and peeping outside, then he agreed that it must have really been 47 and not 57.

“That’s Oj coming,” Rough stated as she s₱0tted Oj.

“My boss,” Small corrected. “Baba.”

“Okay that’s Baba coming,” Rough applied the correction. “Let’s go get the boys while I alert capon that we are ready. Remember the plan is that while they focus on My Capon and your Baba who’s attacking them from the front, we’ll take them unaware from behind.”
