A New Creation
Chapter 31A
Rough quickly ran to the back of the kiosk and went to where to the rest of the team she is leading was.
“Guys are we ready to rumble” Rofiat asked as she walked into their midst, they all brought out their guns and started loading it while Rofiat brought out his phone and dialled Slimmy’s number.
“Hello Capon, back up is ready when needed” Rofiat said.
“Cool, just be on standby, remember the signal I will give when you are needed” Slimmy replied
“Yes bossman” Rofiat terminated the call and began loading her gun too.

“What the F is happening out there” Kong asked the guys forming drunk as he opened the gate a little.
“Baba their car just park for that place, e be like say one of dem don drop sef, na only one dey in,side car” one of them replied.
“Ohhhh Slimmy, you want to play chess now right, cool let’s game” Kong walked away from the gate and faced his boys “You, you and You, go and join those two guys outside and attack them head on” Kong ordered and walked back to the gate “Guys are you loaded” He asked the two guys sitting outside the gate.
“Loaded to the brim baba” They both chorused.
“Good, three guys are going to join you outside now, just take them on, shoot any object in sight” Kong ordered as the three guys charged outside covering for the two guys sitting to stand up and getting into position. Immediately the two guys stood up, they ran to the other side of the road hiding behind the store opposite the house.
Slimmy who had been patiently observing saw the movement of the guys but still decided to not send the signal to Oj because he knew Kong was setting a counter trap for them, he had really underrated Kong’s tactical skills, he used to think Nazaretha was a better tactician but Kong has just proved that he supercedes Nazaretha.
“Kong are these your Pawns, how about you send me some Knights or Rooks” Slimmy said to himself jokingly as he held a pistol to his right hand which is his stronger arm and holding the car’s steering with his left.
“Come to daddy” Slimmy said as he saw one of the boys approaching him with a gun in his hand “A little bit further boy, come boy” Slimmy said as he stepped on the accelerator and the car charged forward towards the guy approaching, the guy started shooting at Slimmy’s car but before couldn’t aim well at Slimmy who drove very fast and hit him to the ground with the car, immediately the guy fell to the ground, the other four guys rushed out and started shooting at Slimmy “Now the game is on boys” Slimmy said to himself as he made a 360 you turn with his car and drove towards the place he was before, the guys kept on following Slimmy who drove slow in order to make sure that the guys keeps on following, as soon as he got closer to where Oj and the boys were, He honked twice and Oj alongside four boys stepped out from a corner and started shooting at the four boys following Slimmy’s car. The four guys wanted to retreat but it was too late as Oj and the guys had laid a perfect ambush for them, within split seconds four of them were down but they didn’t go down without taking two of Oj’s boys along leaving him with two boys. Slimmy was about to drop from the car when he saw Oj and the guys Charging towards Kong’s house.
“Sh!t” Slimmy cussed angrily seeing that Oj had gone against the plan, he stepped on the accelerator again and made for the next street. He decided to take the next street in order to alert Rofiat and her team of the new development, he got to where they were in to time and ordered them to enter into the car. They all did and Slimmy drove to Kong’s place taking the opposite direction. As soon as he got close to the house, he saw Kong’s boys outside exchanging fire with Oj and the team. They all got down and attacked from the rear while Oj and two other guys who were the only ones left in Oj’s team attacked from the front, some of Kong’s boys retreated back into the building while the rest fell down to the bullets.
Kong was infuriated as he saw that the odds were now against them, he thought of a new plan to use in check mating them, he rushed in,side the house brought out and brought Halimat while the guy they left in,side brought out Hadijat. They loosed the ropes in their hands as Kong contemplate on which one of them he should use as a distraction, If he uses Hadijat, Slimmy and Rofiat will be distracted and that’s not favourable enough because they are on the same side of the road, he needed to distract one person each at the oppositse sides of the gate, he then decided to use Halimat who will successfully distract Oj and Rough.
“Checkmate time” he said to himself and started laughing as he dragged Halimat to the gate, when he got to the gate, he ordered two boys to join him at the gate “As soon as I open this gate, shoot anything you see” He ordered.
“Hey cutie, want to survive? Then run outside at the count of five” Kong said, Halimat was looking at Hadijat as they were both crying profusely.
“1, 2, 3, 4 ” Kong counted and opened the gate at the count of five, Halimat stormed out while Kong and the two guys be instructed shot randomly at Oj’s team, the other two guys dropped dead immediately leaving only Oj only.
“Sh!t” Slimmy and Oj cussed simultaneously, Slimmy instructed Rough to esc-rt Halimat to the car, she quickly did.
“Just stay down like that, do not raise your head no matter what happens, I repeat do not raise your head” Rofiat ordered and was returning back to the front Oj’s compound when She started hearing noise of Power bikes, Before she could turn around, the bikers were already close by, five bikers all together, the guys that were ambushed police at Rushi, they had conquered the police in the gun battle. As soon as Rofiat saw them, she started shooting randomly at them and two of them got hit by her bullet, she continued shooting randomly but was hit by a bullet from one of the bike men, Rofiat went down has the bullet hit her.
Everything happened so fast, Slimmy saw Rofiat dropped and his rage multiplied, he charged towards the bike men shooting vigorously and scre-ming Rough’s name, the rest of the guys charged towards the bike men with him. Kong peeped from the gate and saw that it was his boys attacking, he also ordered the rest of his boys to charged towards Slimmy and Oj’s boys too leaving only him and Hadijat in the compound.
Chapter 31B
Slimmy kept on shooting, making sure he hid himself behind the barriers of the closed shops to dodge bullets. He kept an eye on Rough who had been able to drag herself behind the car where she kept Halimat. He began to move closer to where Rough was , wanting to check where the bullet had hit her and if she needed immediate help.

“Come here,” Kong dragged Halimat into the building with him, placing a gun on her neck and holding her hair.
She tried to resist as they got to the stairs of the balcony, struggling to free herself and fighting him with her elbow. Kong got infuriated and dished out a thunderous slap to her face which sent her to ground below. He stepped down and pulled her up by her blouse, he dragged her up and pulled her in,side. In anger, he was kicking open all the doors and dragging her, now she was on the floor but he was still pulling her by her hands, mercilessly and deaf to her cries. He succeeding in dragging her into the room in which she and Halimat were kept previously. He pulled her to the middle and went back to close the door. Hadijat was scre-ming and shouting for help but there was no one forth coming.
After locking the door, Kong walked back to where he dropped her and pulled her up. He brought closer the chair on which she was previously tied to, he lifted her up and made her to sit forcefully, landing blows on her face at every attempt she tried to resist. He was furious with everyone, furious with himself, his plans were not working out well. Even though his boys were still much more than the opposition, he was sure that they had no wisdom to outsmart or resist Slimmy for long. He couldn’t allow Slimmy win him again like their earlier days when they had been given tasks and Slimmy had excelled better. He had to win this, once and for all.
He stared at Hadijat’s face again and placed his index finger below her chin to raise up her head and make her look into his eyes. Her face had been battered and bruised, a result of his blows and slaps. Her eyes were pleading for mercy and freedom but he was unmoved. He stepped back and stared blankly at the wall, still keeping an eye on her. He began to think of what to do in case Slimmy overcame the boys outside. An idea came into his mind. He glanced at her face again and gave a wicked smile after which he stepped back and began to search for ropes which were used to tie both Hadijat and Halimat before. He walked back to Hadijat and began to tie her legs together with the rope. After tightening it around her legs, he extended it to her hands; the rope was long enough to tie up the wh0le of her body. He fastened the ropes and her hand and there was still left a longer part which he could use to pull her outside.
His intention was to place a call to Terror’sc assistant and offer him another huge sum of money for more boys urgently. Then he was going to drag Hadijat like a goat, outside the house and wait in the compound for Slimmy and Rough to enter, he was sure that both of them would not like the scene. Then he would threaten to kill her if they made any attempt on him, he was sure they’ll dare not and would even stop Oj from attempting, that was if Oj remained. Then he would waste time making a fruitless negotiation with them, he expected that Terror’s boys would have arrived by then. He would escape with Hadijat as an hostage and command the boys to war with Slimmy and the rest.

“Dear Lord, we pray for peace in our school. We pray for the souls of all those who are involved in these vices; that their lives may be turned around for good and that they’ll come to know the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and they’ll accept it and surrender their lives to you, in Jesus name.” Roy prayed, kneeling before the altar with his two hands clasped together and placed on his nose.
“‘Amen,” a tiny voice sounded from behind him.
Roy made a sign of the cross before getting up and turning back to see the person who had joined him in the prayer. It was Angela, she was smiling broadly at him, her Bible held with her two hands.
“Sister Angela!” He exclaimed on seeing her. He had not laid his eyes on her since when they had parted ways and he was taken to the missions house.
“Brother Roy, I got the testimony of your salvation,” she said all smiles. “Congratulations and welcome to the family of God,” she extended him a handshake.
“Thank you,” he said, smiling back as he received her warm handshake.
“You’re welcome,” she exhaled and began to take a leisure stroll towards the choir stand. He followed by her side and they counted their slow steps in silence, just enjoying the cool breeze entering from the church windows.
“So what did you come to do in church this morning?” Roy broke the silence.
“Well, I just finished praying and studying at home and had nothing else to do, so I came to check if there was any work I could help with in church.” She replied.
Roy stared at her in silence and disbelief, “you’ve not gone home yet? A lot of members don’t come church anymore except for those who stays in the missions house and those whose parents’ houses are very close to school.”
“Yes, but I can’t go home yet,” Angela said in a stressed tone. “You know I’m in a key leader in church and in the choir.”
“‘Hmm… You guys are trying o,” Roy commented.
There was silence between them again. They had gotten to the choir stand and Roy had gone to sit behind the drums set although he had no idea on how to hold the drums sticks.
Angela laughed as he turned the sticks upside down, trying to figure out where to place his grip. “Don’t tell me you never watched anyone play the drums.” She said jestingly.
“‘Ermm… I never came close to the choir seats or choir stands. My parents weren’t really church people, so as a child I only attended when there was a party coming up in a friend’s church, the jollof rice was always very tasty.” He replied back jokingly. “But I’ve seen drummers on TV.”
She chuckled, “now do you want to learn how to play the drums?” She asked approaching the drum set.
“Yes,” he replied and got up from the drums seat. He gave way for her to sit and handed over the sticks to her. To his surprise, she began to make the beats just like a professional. He stared at her with his mouth wide open, he had never seen a lady playing the drums so well before.
