EPISODE 20
Blade’s predicament, left Charles devastated. it pained him to the maximum degree. their brotherhood had been one which had been tasted by blood. That even at dead ends none had ever left each others side.
..
In fact to be frank in as much as he loved Sylvia, so was it equally with Blade. Even if Sylvia leaves him for another guy, it won’t be as painful to him compared to if Blade betrayed him, as they had gone a long way since childhood.
..
Both making out from the motherless and less privileged home without any inkling of who their parents were and eking out a living through crime, which was the easiest and the fastest way according to their orientation.
..
.
..
The seven old men and Mr. Smith sat down in deep thought as a permanent frown creased their faces.
..
As things were going on wasn’t how they had planned it out and never bargained for it.
..
“Since my forty years in politics, I have never seen things like this. what is really all this? who is really making an attempt on this Jeff’s life and pushing the blames to us. this sort of manipulation is really the most clean and dangerous one I have ever seen.”
Mr. Fox swore in unrestrained anger.
..
As they all sat down in anger while some smoke and drank away their frustration.
..
“Not only that, the masses has really started their agitation. And unfortunately we have no hand in all this save for the fact that we kidnapped the kid. We don’t even have an idea on who is making an attempt on that Jeff. I suggest we release that young boy as all fingers are pointing at us.”
Mr. Edeth said.
..
“Ohhhhhh!! yes I think so too, let’s remove the attention of the masses on us, but we would have to release him by calling a ransom, so that it would look like he was kidnapped for the money and the masses knows that such petty amount can’t really have any thing to do with us.”
A fair old man by name Hon. Evaristus said.
..
And they all nodded in agreement, and looked at each other solemnly.
..
“But what about the false alarm that, on trying to kill Jeff?”
Mr. Edeth asked.
..
“We can as well fold our hands and watch the drama unfold. the person behind the scenes is really doing his job very much well and covering his tracks like the Pro that he is.”.
Mr. Fox said downing his glass of whiskey in one go as he felt an unusual warmth.
“Anyways one thing is sure we won’t lose this election.”
Hon. Evaristus said.

»»»»»»»One Day Later«««««««
..
An old man sat down in his balcony as he was surrounded by beautiful young girls who were busy rubbing over his bare chest, which looked flappy and sagged with age.
One of them fumbled his n-pples, while he smiled in enjoyment, the others were busy stroking his back or have their hands roaming even in his private parts through his baggy shorts.
..
He mumbled in his heart.
..
“Surprisingly your life is really stronger than that of your parents. I’m surprised you are still alive till this moment and leaving scape goats behind. well let’s see how long you can really survive. well even though you are not dead yet, but you still give me the desired results. hehehehehe!!!!”
He laughed and said all within him.
..
There is a saying that power corrupts but, absolute power corrupts absolutely. that could be seen in the case of this unknown instigator behind the scenes (N.A: Know this, do all you can at any giving opportunity to seize your moment, but it depends on the path you chose) just a fleeting thought though.
..
Sharon had never left Blade’s bedside after learning that Blade was hospitalized as she left everything in school for the past two weeks to be here with the unconscious young man.
..
Sharon was really a complete shadow of herself as she looked tired and really needed sleep badly.
..
All of this that Charles had seen really made him angry and more resolute to kill them all to avoid further attempts on Jeff’s life.
..
Sylvia learnt about Blade’s condition from Sharon and after learning that it might concern her father, as it involves political gambling which his father was solely involved, she angrily went home to confront her dad. (Do you think it’s a good idea?)
..
All this had nothing to do with Charles, as he sat down in a room filled with different weapons of various kinds, ranging from, guns, Knives, grenades, daggers, swords and too many to mention, as they all looked bloody. Even Nigerian armory would be ashamed if they enter this strong room.
..
The pictures of eight old men were pinned to the wall, as if in death sentence.
..
He brought out a pen knife 🔪 and suddenly drew it at the wall, and it pierced into one of the pictures and it was, Hon. Evaristus picture.
Charles wickedly smiled as he muttered the word “rest in peace”
..
He had already planned all things as he muttered.
“May I be buttered and sugared for consumption if your soul isn’t required of you by your creator this night.”
..
He held a lighter and set it ablaze, while holding it. He held the picture in his hand till the last bit of it was burnt away and he pinched away the ashes. while he wore a red bandana over his head.
“It has been a while, and they don’t just understand.”
He muttered.
