“ Wow! Mayor… this is a big catch! Where did you get this one? I must inform Moko at once. Her blood will be sold in billions!”
“ Why?”
“ She carry… I mean her destiny is weighty… Billion dollar destiny!” The Prietess said
Mayor shook his head. The useless woman was about to lose that great destiny because of her wayward ways. He thought of his wife, Mirabel. He hoped she would never join the league of adulterous women…
“ …. but wait there is a problem!” The Prietess said
“ What?”
“ Someone else has prepared her for rituals. Did you take her elsewhere?”
“ Elsewhere! What do you mean elsewhere?”
“ Someone is actually going to kill her tonight.”
“ That might be her husband, from my conversation with her shortly before I knocked her out, she made me understand that she sleeps with different men and her husband knows about it!”
“ That means Her Husband wants to use her for Money rituals! I can see the projection.”
“ Really?”
“ We must get to him before he does the last ritual! You have to bring him here!”
“ Bring him here? I don’t even know him, I don’t know her house. I suggest we just kill her now before her husband does.”
“ We can’t… We must locate her husband and kill him before he does the last ritual. You know we can’t kill her until we have the demand for her blood. Moko will auction her during the weekend, but if her husband kills her tonight, that will be a big loss to us!” The Prietess explained
“ What Loss?” Moko said as he walked into the Deposition Unit.
As he saw Rekky, his power ring became very hot on this finger. That was a sign that Rekky was a hot deal.
“ What do we have here?” Moko asked with so much interest as he walked towards where Rekky had been laid.

“ So? What are you still doing here? Find that husband of hers for me Now!” Moko said “ Or else, I will replace her life with your son’s life…”
“ Sir?” Mayor said in shock with eyes widely opened
“ You are surprised I said your son, well let me say this to you, Your son is decked in so much glory, it is almost at the same level of this Lady’s destiny, so if you make me lose her, I will make you lose your son.”
Mayor knew that wasn’t a threat. He had to find the callous husband of the stupid woman.
“ How?” He asked himself. He knew the place where he picked her up was her boyfriend’s place. Mayor sat in his car thinking about his options.
“ Will her boyfriend know her house?” He asked himself
“ Yes.. No…” Mayor speaking to himself.
Suddenly he remembered. The Map… He remembered Rekky imputing her address to his phone map.
“ Yes!” He screamed. He brought out his phone, Checked the map to see if the address was still intact. It was…

Osmond picked all the eight P@ntiës belonging to Rekky. He was bubbling with so much excitement. He knew he was going to wake up a wealthy man by the next day. That night was the final ritual night, where he was to present 8 of Rekky’s P@ntiës. He had given her hair, her nails, her saliva. He took her hair from her comb. He had taken her nails the day he volunteered to help trim her nails. And the saliva… he had intentionally prepared a very peppery dish one weekend she came over. The moment she ate it, she spat it out. Osmond had cleared the mess, thereby keeping what she spat out. Out of what she vomited, Osmond extracted her saliva with a syringe.
All of the processes had been without hitch and he knew for a fact, nothing was going to stop him that night.

Following Chioma’s advise, Martins placed a call to the Commissioner of Police. Chioma had sent him the phone number through an SMS. She wasn’t picking his calls anymore. Alongside the phone number she sent to him, she had written boldly…
“ UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR WIFE DON’T EVER CALL ME. Thanks “
The Commissioner attended to his call well because of Chioma’s name he mentioned…
“ Make sure you stay at home Sir. We need your wife’s friend to also be at home with you. My officers will come over for your statement. We will handle it. Your wife will be back soon.” The commissioner had encouraged him over the phone.
Two hours later, Martins was still waiting for the Police. He kept pacing around in fear and anxiety…
“ Knock Knock!”
Martins looked towards the door…
“ Who is there?”
