🖤CHAPTER FIVE🖤

(Unedited)

~ERICA~

And every unit of the assault team rushes into their respectful cars as we speed off.
*
And not long after we arrive at Tinubu square heading straight to the CBN branch. We park the car. And that minute all forces arrive.

From in,side the car, we sight something strange. Five bullion vans outside. We see money moving, like some people are loading the money in the vans. But we ain’t seeing anyone. And that moment, everyone sit still in the car, no one could move as fear grips us all.

Then someone comes out from the civil defences team. And points his gun at the direction of the van. And another person, and another and another and then we were all outside as everyone c*cks their gun one after the other and point their gun at the vans. Total silence and standing still. Ramsey stands beside me also pointing his gun at the direction. I heave a sigh, not of relief but of panic. I know everyone present here right now is scared out of their minds.

The van doors close. An officer fires two rapid shots at the van, and then the vans disappear. Now I’m really scared and so is everyone.

And then he appears, a long leather jacket with his white mask on his face. And takes slow steps towards us. I’m gonna have another panic attack soon.

“You guys think you could really get me?…” he says still taking slow steps. “With guns, even body cams… ” he chuckles. ” Wrong move for you all, ‘jab tak main jalata hoon, main nahin rukoonga” he says that language.

“Bullshits… FIRE!!” an officer yells and fires shots at him as we all follow suit firing rapid shots at him. But the bullets just drops off when they get to him without penetrating. Officers gasp, this is so going f-cking wrong,

His eyes changes, the white part turning red and the black green. His wrist glows a green colour as he ascends 6 fts from the ground and five green portals appear behind him and he mutters inaudible words closing his eyes.

“EVERYONE BACK OFF BACK OFF!!!..” an officer yells as everyone starts running back to the car some still shooting at him.

He opens his eyes and he looks really dangerous.

“Too late.. ” he mutters as some dark shadows rushes out of those portals and attack us. Shooting at them, the bullets turns black powder. And they murder officers. They snarl and pounce on officers s-cking their blood out of them as they remove officers hearts and munch on it. They slam officers on cars and rip their head off. First officer gone, a second and still counting. Officers firing shots and running around, but no escape cos this dark shadows always catches them. And no car could move cos the cobra himself runs around like a flash ramming into cars melting everything on his way, any officer he touches melts off, and cars he touches or rams into either explode or melt down.

Gr-ans, yelps, snarls and explosions fills the air.

I stand on a s₱0t with Ramsey shooting before me not knowing what to do, whether to run or shoot, or… Whatever. In the midst of all this commotion and chaos, I sight one of this shadows coming over.

“RAMSEY GET DOWN!!!” I yell but it was too late as I watch this shadow grab him up and s-ck out life from him as he takes his heart out and munch on it. Oh Ramsey. 😫

“Arrgh… ” the shadow snarls and looks to my direction, he drops lifeless Ramsey down. I open my eyes wide as I run and hide behind a car as I start to shiver and sob. I thought I was a brave woman, but now I know I’m nothing near that.

I sob and weep, crying with my eyes close as I keep shivering behind the car. I feel a cold hand, like that of a corpse touching my shoulder and I shiver in fear. I open my eyes and I’m faced with a blank face with a fire eyes in a dark hood. One of the shadows found me. The shadow snarls at me and a tongue comes out slowly moving to my face.

I scre-m in fear as I close my eyes waiting for heaven. I hear the shadow shriek and growl and I’m still alive. I open my eyes and I see this white masked man above the earth staring at me.

He saved me, but why.. He steps down and walks towards me. Okay I’ve seen enough today, I’m gonna pass out now.

My eyelids are heavy,

“You’re too beautiful to feel hurt… ” I faintly hear his voice as I feel him car-ssing my cheek and that’s it. I pass out.
*
*
My eyes opens a little bit, my vision blurry, I see people in the room I am. My eyes finally opens. I’m on a bed in white walls. Wait, hospital? I cough.

“She’s awake, go call the doctor” that’s Martins referring to someone I haven’t known yet.

“Inspector…” I call him and try to sit up.

“Don’t stress yourself dear, calm down okay” he says and lays me back in the bed.

“How was the operation…. Did you get anything?” I ask him.

He sighs, “Nothing… nothing” he says and I know he’s frustrated.

“Why, what about the body cams?” I ask in surprise.

“When all headquarters expected and didn’t see their officers come back, we all decide to come over. And we found everyone dead, brutally murdered. And cars destroyed and all bodycams were gone.” he says holding the urge not to shed tears.

“I’m I the only one that survived?” I ask.

“No,..” he replies and just then, Ramsey enters with the doctor.

“Ramsey?…. I thought…..” I don’t wanna complete that statement.

“I thought I was dead too, but I was surprised when I woke up again.” he explains.

The doctor comes to me and do some checkups on me.

“She’s okay… Was just a panic attack and shock… She’ll be due for discharge tommrow.” the doctor says and Martins nods and he walks outside.

“So how many more people woke up?” I ask again.

“Just him… ” Martins reply.

“I had a message clipped to my chest, it read ‘she’s too beautiful to feel hurt,, reason why I’m sparing you’..” Ramsey says and I heave a relief sigh.

“Like seriously, I was worried to death when I saw that shit s-ck you up. I’m glad you’re alive. Was like, punk ass is gone. I realized lots of things there. I wasn’t as brave as I think and I realize I care about you. It’s better to face fear than running from it. ” I tell him with a smile and he smiles back.

“What next now is how are we getting this motherf-cker” Martins say and I sigh.
“White masked man’s been distributing money all over. In motherless babies home, hospitals and lots of places buying people’s love. How to tell people he’s a motherf-cker is what I still figure out. ” Martins says.

“Like seriously?, how long was I out?” I ask.

“5 days.” he replies.

“F-ck… ” I mutter.

“And no evidence… ” Ramsey laments.

I sigh again.

“Was my mum here.. ” I ask them.

“She just left an hour ago.” Martins reply me.

“Give me a phone.. I need to call her.” I tell them.

Ramsey hands me his phone. I type mum’s number.

She picks up on first ring.

“Hello mom.”

“Hey, Erica you’re awake” she says sounding excited over the phone.

“Yes mum, no long talk for now…. I’m gonna come see you tomorrow, on some important shits.” I tell her.

“I understand.. I’ll be expecting you darling.” she says and I hangup.

“I’m taking this investigation up as from today, I’ll put it upon myself. I’m gonna find that bitch, wherever he is, I wanna know his motive behind all that, he’s doing, and the source of his f-cking power. ” I say and give Ramsey his phone.

“That’s the spirit.. ” Martins mutters and gives me a chop knuckle.

“And I’ll always be your partner” Ramsey says and smiles. And this dude’s cute too.

“Always…. We’ll get to the root of this together” I tell him and he smiles.

🖤CHAPTER SIX🖤

~ERICA~

I drive to the front gate of this house that I hate to come as I jam my hand on the horn. I got discharged this morning.

“Piiiiiiimm” the car horn sounds like twice before I see the gate open. I shake my head as I drive in.

“Madam no vex.. ” the gateman mutters in Hausa accent as I enter. I park the car and get out. I look to his direction and I see the garri and akara on his bench and I shake my head again.

“No wonder your ear block, when garri and akara don enter ur head. You no even fit buy bread sef.” I scowl at him.

“Ah… Walahi, madam… you no know say na garri I sweet pass to drinki akara, gaskia….. Bread I no sweet. This akara I get honey o… I go like taste am?” he says his gibberish in his terrible Hausa accent.

“All the best for you.. ” I tell him and head in,side the house.

When I enter, everywhere is silent, like no one’s at home.

“Mum?” I call.

“I’m here.. ” she suddenly appears behind me as I jump in fear.

“Oh my gush, you scared me mum.. ” I tell her and she smiles. Don’t be surprised, I told you she knows dark shits.

“No need to be scared my darling, let’s get to work… you wanna inquire about the cobra?” she asks.

“Exactly. What about your husband and his son. ” I reply her.

“they’re not around.. Let’s go.. ” she says and begin to climb upstairs as I follow behind. She’s putting on a long milk colour gown with her hair neatly plaited long attachment.

She enters her room. And I follow, she heads to a door, she place her palms on the door and whisper somethings as the door opens on it’s own accord.

“Come in.. ” she turns back and gestures at me. I oblige and follow.

When we enter the place, the door closes on its own behind us. Everywhere is dark as f-ck and creepy as we climb down a stair. When we finally climb down the stairs, lights switches on in every corner and rooms now bright.

I blink my eyes in surprise, mum’s outfit has changed, she’s now on a pure white iro and buba (a Yoruba dressing) with a pure white head tie, her plaited hair comes out in the back and it’s different also, it’s now been decorated with shining white cowries, and a white skepter with cowries all over it is in her hands too. Now I’m afraid of my mum too.

Before us is a large table, a white cloth on the wall, a mirror and white cowry decorated calabashes too.

“What’s his name.. ” mum asks.

“I don’t know o, I just I know he’s Leo the cobra.” I reply.

“What do you want to know about him?” she asks again.

“I want to know his motive and source of power.” I reply.

“Okay.. ” she says and begin incantations.
“Iwaju opon ogbon, eyin opon ogbon
Olumoran lotun, Olumoran losi,
Atari ifa ode orun..
Ma f’ire pebi, mafibi pe’re, ma f’ololo fohun.
Bo ba se ri ni ko wi fun mi… Nitori la han mi, ni bata n ke l’otu ife..
Oyela… ” she chants and a burning fire flame appears on the cloth for a minute and it’s gone. I watch in surprise.

“This is strange.” my mum mutters.

“What’s wrong mum.. ” I ask her but she ignores and starts another incantation.

“Afefe lele ni’n se we oko lalo
Efufu lele ni’n sewe agbon jiajia.
B’aba lamo loju ariran…. Oyela.. ” she says again and I see water stream down the cloth and disappears.

“Hmmmmm” mum sighs.
“He’s a very dangerous man Erica.” she says and turn to face me.

“What did you see?, the water, the fire, what does it mean?. Did you get his motive? Di…….”

“How. many am I gonna answer?” mum says and frown.

“I’m sorry mum. ” I mutter.

“The fire shows he’s highly diabolical and really dangerous, that’s why nothing appeared about him. His source of power are sources powerful than mine. The water is trying to say something, I’ll figure that out later.” she says.

“What are we gonna do now?” I ask her.

“You’ll have to get his real name and his mother’s name, by that, we’ll get him.” mum explains.

I chuckle and scoff.

“How do I get those? That dude’s like a f-cking air” I ask her with a furrowed brow.

“The restaurant he destroyed, he must have paid for damages, maybe you’ll get his name there. His mother’s name, you’ll have to have a peaceful personal encounter with him” mum says.

“Encounter? You wanna kill me right?” I ask her.

“Don’t worry darling, you’re my only jewel, so I’ll always protect you.”

I nod.

“Get that name first.” she says.

~PASTOR JACOB LEONARD ~

“The state has been thrown into confusion and panic as it has been said in the latest reports that a certain diabolical white masked man has been terrifying the city. Killing force men and robbing banks, and the police are yet to get to the root of the matter. The question now is, who’s this man behind the mask, a mystery that has been left unsolved….. And lately, a white mask man has become the city’s philanthropist…….. ” I hear the reporter saying on the TV as I type endlessly on my laptop.

“I doubt if they can ever find out..” I mutter to myself. I stop typing and open the drawer below my desk and bring out some files. A knock sounds on the door.
“yes, come in.. ” I say.

“Good morning sir” Greg greets me and sits on a chair before me.

“How have you been…” I ask him as I sign on the files in those doc-ments.

“Been good sir.. ” he replies.

“We thank God almighty.. ” I say still signing. I stop and look up at him.

“Prepare the jet, we have a revival to minister in South Africa in the next three days and cancel all my schedules for the next two weeks after that, I need to rest.” I say swiveling my chair to the side as I brew water for my self.

“Alright sir.” he says and I nod drinking my water.

“That’s all.. ” I tell him.

He stands up to leave.

“Greg.. ” I call him when he’s already at the door and he turns to face me.

“Are you doing anything illegal that’s against the law?” I ask him.

“Nothing sir.. ” he says and smile and I nod as he walks out.

“Sir, tell us your take about this masked man… ” I hear a journalist anchoring a debate ask.

“You’ll never find out.. ” I say and change the channel.

And lately, a white mask man has become the city’s philanthropist…….. ” I shut the TV with the remote and turn to face my crew. Martin’s and Ramsey.

“Who’s this masked man?” I say looking at them as they stare back at me.

“Well.. no need answering but we’ll get him, with the phase one of our plan.” I say and walk to the only table in,side where we’re. It has a large face of monitor to show things.

“Him….” I say pointing to the picture of pastor Greg that displays on the monitor.
“He’s our first plan… ” I say.

“How? ” Ramsey asks.

“If we can get evidence that he’s with this man, we’ll arrest him, and ask for his twin to show up for his release, and if he doesn’t? We’ll know he’s the culprit so we’ll start from him.” I say.

“This is lame..” Martins mutters.

“Of course I know it’s really lame… ” I reply looking at him.

“I mean really lame…..” Ramsey seconds him.

“And I just confirmed that… ” I say looking at him also.

Martins sigh.

“Okay, how do you get an evidence?” he asks.

“Pictures… ” I reply with a small smile as Ramsey laughs.

“Pictures? For real?…. That’s not possible darling. Who the hell’s gonna go snap cobra and his right man without getting hurt” Ramsey says.

“I’ll go.. ” I tell them.

“WHAT?!!! ” they exclaim together
