Though it was morning but the interior residence of Mr Ojile was as dark as charcoal. It could be seen through the aluminium window of the house. Only God knows what will become of Jimmy in the hands of the Talibans who claimed to be Rachael’s parents. Their powers could be felt by anyone who dares stop them from taking revenge on the humans. It’s just inhumane they had to do it with an innocent and helpless child, Rachael who her life and biological parents still remained unknown to her. In the same way, her life span was drastically reducing. As she was under the basement, she realized nobody else could save her but Jimmy. Jimmy wasn’t a policeman neither was he in a any rescure force, but she wh0le-heartedly believed only him can save her. Why? She has no idea. But how can the boy safe her when he was also trembling in the darkness created by the Talibanss?
Nevertheless, police siren paved from afar until many of their vehicles surrounded the exterior part of the building at gun point. None was ready to break into the dark house regarding the strange things happening at every night rain and about the information gotten regarding the so called Ojile’s family. Suddenly an average woman, Mrs James, their neighbour, approached Hassan the commander of the police. She was the one that called them when she noticed the strange behaviour.
“Madam, what exactly is going on in there?” Hassan asked her.
“I have no idea” the woman began terrifyingly. “There is this boy.. that… that came with that bike.” she gestured at the bike. “I believe it’s the boy called Jimmy. Immediately he entered, windows and doors shut at once and the light went off. I also heard a shout for help.” the woman explained.
The commander grew upset at Jimmy, thinking he was the problem. “That boy has crossed the line!” He wanted to walk out but the woman pulled him back in a quivering tone.
“I don’t think the boy is our problem. Mr Ojile and his wife are. Trust me.”
The man gazed at her for a moment then surged forward heroically as he was commanding his men saying, “Prepare to invade! We need everybody in,side that house alive!”
However, Ghene school bus was passing through when Antonia and Festus sighted police vehicles surrounding the house and Journalists parading with their camera.
“What’s happening at Rachael’s house?” Antonia asked standing on her feet like every other students in the bus.
“I told you Jimmy might be right for his inquisition about her parents.” Festus replied.
Briskly, Antonia ran to the front of the bus. “Driver, stop the bus! Stop!!” she yelled.
“What for?” The man asked her.
“My best friend is in trouble, please!”
“Oh f-ck!” The man applied the brake and the bus pulled to a stop. One could see Antonia running to the crime scene on uniform followed by Festus. At the same time, policemen surged towards the door with their guns. Tremendously, the building exploded like a bomb thereby flying the men on the floor. Even the roof of the building blew open.
“Jesus Christ!” Students in,side the bus exclaimed along with Antonia at the horrible sight that also reflected on the camera of GTV reporters.
Tactically, the policemen recovered, invaded into the exploded house. They searched every nook and cranny, even in,side the basement but never saw any life or dead form of a body.
“Sir, we have a situation!” a policeman contacted from the building. Just then, Hassan entered to see the men staring at a bold writing on the wall that says: NOBODY CAN STOP US FROM TAKING REVENGE…TALIBANS. They all looked at one another.
On the other hand, Jade could be seen running into the building shouting, “Jimmy! Jimmy!!”
Hearing that, Antonia and Festus looked at each other. “Was Jimmy in,side there?” they asked at the same time.
“How did she even know him? Who’s she?” Festus added.
Just before Jade ran into the house, Hassan and his men stopped her. “Who are you?”
“I’m Jimmy’s friend. Where is he?”
“Nobody was found either dead or alive. Now leave here!” They wanted to push her away but she strongly hesitated, saying with anger after sighting the writing on the wall too. “Do you believe that the tale of the Talibans is real now?” She finally left them to the reporters where she boldly spoke to the hearing of the world.
“Jimmy has been right about the Talibans and only him can stop them. Open your eyes and see that he’s doing his best to safe us all!”
“Who are the Talibans, miss?” the female reporter asked her.
“Jimmy suspected the parents of Amaya who we all know as Rachael Ojile. What happened here today is an evidence that he’s correct. The earlier we find a way to help him, the better for us all!” She climbed her bike to speed off but Antonia rushed her.
“Wait, will Rachael be okay?”
“Only Jimmy can answer that” she sped off. Just then, tears engulfed in her eyes especially when she learnt that her best friend was nowhere to be found.

The news went across the city and those who didn’t know about the history of the Talibans began to research about it. Everybody comprehended that Jimmy was a saviour while Rachael was being manipulated from birth by her parents that claimed not only to be religious but also humans.
Night drew near, lightning spread from the sky and thunder rumbled as a sign of rain. Therefore everyone held their heart in terror of what would happen if another night rain should occur because nobody knows where Amaya or Jimmy is.
7:50pm
Darkness finally took over the atmosphere, dropping rain gradually. Running cars at that hour were advanced through a public television to leave the road as a precaution.
“What about buildings that might collapse?” they murmured.
Poor woman, Mrs Okenagba cried in her house, remembering Jimmy’s words: YOU CAN SLAP ME AGAIN BUT TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU’RE REGRET IT. As she cried in the living room, a voice came from the door saying, “Nothing will happen him”
She turned to see Jade. “But nobody knows whether he’s dead or alive.”
As Jade wanted to move forward, the rain began heavily. So she slowly turned as if being touched in the spirit. “This gonna be worst” she whispered.
Mrs Okenagba met her. “What is it?”
“I can feel a drastic accident caused by Amaya.” Immediately she finished saying, they sighted from afar to see exploding cars in the sky like fireworks for Christmas celebration.
“Oh God!” Mrs Okenagba covered her mouth, wondering the force pulling the cars up like that. Suddenly, the ground quivered as well, falling the women on the floor—those were buildings collapsing too.
“Oh, Jimmy, where are you?” Jade murmured from the floor….
