Jezebel episode 14

Jezebel
Episode 14
•••••••••••••••••
 
” oskilala, oskilolo, wuskere, rastamanka ” I heard different wierd voices as I regained my consciousness, bit by bit. I was secluded at one portion of a room which I couldn’t decipher how it was.
 
The voices was coming from a dark segment of the room.
I tried to clear my head so that I could hear what they’re saying.
The voices sound kinda feminine but baritone in nature.
 
” Jezebel, wetin make we do for this people na, all this thing wey you they yan us since morning I no like am ” one of the voices said.
 
” chill Flexy, no they reason me like that, we’re doing it like I said ” one of the voices barked at the first voice .
 
” but Jezebel, how we go link up with Red gun na, e no make at all, make we just declare war if them wan try rubbish ” another voice said.
 
I could feel discomfort at the point where I was hit by the taser , my hands and legs were firmly tightened with a rope.
I couldn’t stand up and couldn’t speak because of the tape that was used to cover my mouth.
 
My view was getting normal as I could feebly see through where the voices was coming from.
They’re all in black and depicting from their figures, they’re all females as their voices had already portrayed to me.
 
They’re not wearing mask this time but their faces wasn’t that visible to me but I could tell that their was someone familiar among them.
 
Earlier when Ben left the house
 
” do you think it’s right to allow this guy alone with that girl ” Lekan asked as Ben left the room.
 
” he’s not a small boy na ” Samuel replied as they paused the game.
 
” who’s a big boy when you’re going head up with red gun ” Usman said giving Samuel a weird stare.
 
” do you think we should follow him ” Lekan asked.
 
” do you know where they’re going ” Samuel asked.
 
” he whispered it to me as he was about to go outside, idiot ” Lekan said flaring up a bit.
 
” someone cannot ask question ba ” Samuel retorted in his defense.
 
” ask reasonable ones ” Usman replied.
 
” then let’s follow them now, so that we won’t miss them ” Lekan said standing up.
 
” why are you always ridiculous like this, are you still living in the pre-colonial area ” Usman asked smiling.
 
” brain is far from him na, na today you know ” Samuel said laughing.
 
Usman took his phone and login to WhatsApp.
 
” three things is sure in this life ” Usman said as he was still going through his phone.
 
” death, tax ” Usman added pausing for a while
 
” and Ben not switching off his location and data ” he said smiling as he showed Lekan and Samuel Ben’s location.
 
” let me quickly change my short ” Samuel said as he swiftly dash in,side the bedroom.
 
They stopped two bike and ordered them to follow the route showing on their phone.
 
Samuel and Usman boarded one together while Lekan was single on the one he boarded.
 
The two bikes stopped in front of the whispering garden toll gate.
They settled the bike men after little argument about the price and they left.
 
” why did we even come here in the first place ” Samuel asked regretting the decision they made.
 
” we can’t even enter because we’ve used all the money with us to settle the bike men ” Usman uttered, also looking dejected.
 
” I think we should withdraw money from a nearby POS or ATM machine , I’m with my ATM card, we can’t just stay outside here till they’re through with their lovey dovey affair ” Lekan said glancing around to see if there’s any ATM machine or POS kiosk around.
 
” guys, I think something is wrong ” Usman said getting the attention of Lekan and Samuel.
 
” Ben’s location just went off now ” Usman said showing them the map on his phone.
 
” ugh, what could be happening ” Lekan asked looking surprised.
 
” maybe you should dial his number ” Samuel suggested.
 
” this place security is good, I don’t think anything could happen to them ” Lekan said .
 
” good security when red gun is involved ” Samuel said.
 
” his number is not reachable ” Usman said after trying his number.
 
” I don’t think this is right, what should we do ” Samuel said getting excited.
 
” the location is back on ” Usman said heaving a sigh of relief.
 
” but, they’re not in,side that place anymore ” Usman added.
 
” could it be that he knew we’re following him and decided to switch his phone off so that he could escape from us ” Lekan suggested.
 
” I don’t think such is the case, something isn’t right ” Samuel said.
 
” but what should we do, we’ve got no money on us even if we decide to follow him again ” Lekan retorted angrily.
 
” but you said you have your card with you ” Samuel said.
 
” and do you see any ATM machine around or I’m going to ins**t it into your mouth to withdraw the cash ” Lekan lashed at Samuel
 
” guys ” Usman called out to calm the two of them
 
” let’s get bikes, we will make a stop at any ATM machine we see and withdraw the cash ” he added with a calm tone.
 
They stopped two bikes and like they did earlier, Lekan having one to himself while Samuel and Usman took to the second one.
 
” are you sure this is the place the  location pinpointed ” Samuel asked as they alighted the bike in front of Precious house.
” what could be happening ” Usman asked looking surprised.
 
” or Ben is dating the two girls ” Samuel said with his hands placed on his wa-ist as they stand in front of the gate shielding the house from the street.
 
” taa, how could you say that, we know Ben doesn’t have the mind to date a girl till he met Jezebel not to talk of dating two girls at once ” Usman retorted.
 
” but this is kinda confusing ” Samuel said staring at the gate, like he could see through it if he concentrated his stare more on it.
 
” nothing is confusing here guys ” Lekan said.
 
” he must have gotten an emergency call from Precious when he was with Jezebel and had to swiftly come down here to attend to her ” he added.
 
” and since we’ve been together, have you ever seen him going to Precious house ” Usman asked staring at Lekan deliriously.
 
” like he’s ever slept outside before, it’s a day some things start ” Lekan retorted.
 
” stop all this bickering and let’s know what we’re going to do ” Samuel lashed at them.
 
” what’s there to do, we’re already home, let’s leave him to enjoy himself, while we return home ” Lekan replied.
 
” we’ve got to confirm first, I don’t feel good about this ” Usman retorted.
 
” if you’re keen on ruining his enjoyment, count me out ” Lekan said leaving the two of them.
 
” I think we should just leave him and go back home ” Samuel said staring at Lekan who was heading home.
 
” even if he’s in,side enjoying anything, let go in,side first and confirm it, after that, we can go home ” Usman replied, knocking the gate at once, not waiting for Samuel opinion.
 
After knocking it for many time without anyone opening it for them, Usman brought out his phone and called Precious number. He called it for four times but she didn’t pick up. He then decided to call Ben’s number.
 
” whose phone is that, every phone should be placed on silent when we’re on a mission ” Flexii barked angrily as a phone suddenly started ringing.
 
” chilax, the ringing tone is not sounding from anyone of us here ” Precious replied.
 
” whose phone con dey ring ” Flexii asked.
 
” I think I know where ” Precious said pointing at where Ben and Jezebel were placed.
 
Ben’s p.o.v
 
I can’t express how I felt when my phone suddenly started ringing in,side my pocket, my heart ceased working at once, I wished I had placed it on silent.
They we’re quick to hear it as a brief uproar suddenly ensued between them but it wasn’t long before they knew it was from me.
I saw one of the girls coming towards me and I swiftly shut my eye, she changed my position so that she could be able to remove the phone from my pocket and returned to her colleagues with it.
Before she got there, the phone had stopped ringing , she handed it to another lady.
The person that called me didn’t give up as he or she started calling again.
 
” he has picked it ” Usman informed Samuel , placing his phone on speaker as the called was answered after trying the number for the second time.
 
” hello Usman ” Precious voice was heard.
 
” hello Precious, why are you with Ben’s phone ” Usman asked.
 
” he just left for the gent, so I decided to answer the call since you’re the one calling ” Precious replied.
 
” okay, I just wanna check on him ” Usman said.
 
” alright, I’ll inform him that you called when he’s through ” Precious replied.
 
” alright, but where are you guys ” Usman asked as he was about to drop the call.
 
” we’re in church, we are having a program ” Precious replied.
 
” alright, see you guys later ” Usman said dropping the call.
 
Samuel suddenly bursted into laughter as Usman dropped the call.
 
” we should have listened to Lekan and gently return home ” Samuel said still laughing.
 
” what could be happening, Ben isn’t someone like this ” Usman uttered with a confused expression.
 
” well, he is now, see the kind lie wey them they lie, I’m sure Ben is beside her right now, maybe on her, self ” Samuel said still laughing.
 
” I won’t judge yet till I see him ” Usman replied.
 
” since we’ve know what’s happening now, let go home and jejely prepare to be mocked by Lekan ” Samuel said also leaving.
 
Ben’s p.o.v
 
When I was sure that she had returned to her colleagues , I opened my eye and was surprised to see Jezebel in front of me.
The girl had tossed me to the other side when she withdrew the phone from my pocket. She’s been beside me but I didn’t know because of the position I was.
 
Her hands and legs were also in bondage like mine and She was still unconscious.
 
My phone started ringing again and one of them answered it.
I didn’t care to listen to what the person was saying as I was worried about Jezebel. She seemed to be lifeless.
With a lot of strength, I dragged my body closer to her.
 
She opened her eye as my body collided with hers.
Her eye was kinda blurry at first but at once as she got hold of the situation she was in, she opened her eye wide and started making a muffling scre-m due to the tape on her lip.
 
” looks like they don return back to earth ” I heard behind me from the ladies .
 
” Pinky, Lisa, go and bring them here ” another voice which was kinda familiar ordered.
 
Two ladies moved closer to us, loosened the rope used in binding our legs and took us to the midst of the ladies.
 
They formed a circular shape, with a black ribbon on their head, and the one who looked like their leader was backing us.
 
We were made to kneel down in the midst of them.
 
” they’re here Jezebel ” one of them said, I thought to the one backing us.
 
” okay ” the person replied as she turned to look at us in a slow motion manner.
 
I was left in awe and couldn’t believe my eye when I saw the person.
It was Precious and she also has a black ribbon on her head which had the logo of the black widow on it .
 
She made a sign to one of the ladies and the tapes on our mouth was removed from our l-ips.
 
” Precious ” I murmured, before I could know what was happening, a thunderous slap landed on my cheek.
 
” Jezebel, not Precious ” the girl that slapped me barked at me.
