” RECKLESS REKKY”

“ Who is there?”
“ It’s me, Sir!” A familiar voice said
“ Who are you?” Martins replied
“Madam Tams’ driver” Silas answered
Martins walked towards the door. On opening it was truly Tams’ driver.
“ Silas, why are you here? Where is your Madam?”
“ Our car broke down and her second phone is down. The phone that is on is the one connected to your wife, so she couldn’t call you… and my phone is at home.”
“ Ok?”
“ So she said I should tell you to come and pick her from there, so you both can go to the police station.”
“ We were told to stay here and wait for the officers. I can’t leave here. You should go back and let her come here instead.”
“ Ok sir!” Silas said as he turned away.
After shutting the door, Martins collapsed into his living room chair.
Another knock came afterwards. Martins suspected it was Silas checking back.
“He probably forgot to tell me something..” Martins said with irritation in his voice
Martins was face to face with the handsome Mayor staring at him innocently.
” Hello Sir!” Martins said
” Good Morning Sir!” Mayor said ” Sir, I know this might sound like I am intruding into your privacy…but I am here on an errand!”
” Ok?”
” Sir, is your wife the woman that sleeps around with men?” Martins was shocked but he remained silent. Mayor was not ready to lose his son, so he pushed further.
” Sir, I am a taxi driver. I picked your wife from a man’s house this morning to another man’s house. On the way to her destination, she told me about how she loved cheating on you. She…”
” So where is she? I thought her friend said she had been kidnapped…”
” Her friend? Kidnapped ! No… Nothing like that happened!”
” Yes, She told me Rekky had been kidnapped by a man who picked her up… and the police are actually on their way here. I should have known Rekky is on another sëx tour…So what did she send you to get for her?”
Mayor was confused at that point. He didn’t know what to say. The husband had just told her the police was on their way.
” An unfortunate accident happened there, so she sent for you” Mayor was just saying
” Unfortunate accident…and you said she wasn’t kidnapped?…You are not making sense? Tell me what is really happening? Or are you the kidnapper?”
At that point, Mayor knew he had to go diabolical.
” Yes…I know I am not making sense, but listen to me now…I need you to follow me right away. I speak not with mere words, my mouth is coated with the power that can not be said No to. I command you to follow me right away, No questioning…”
Martins became hypnotized. Like a sheep led to its slaughter, Martins followed Mayor to his car.
*******
Osmond packed his clothes. He was leaving the house. He knew with Rekky’s car in his compound, when she eventually turns out dead, his place would be the first point of call.
He was going to lodge in an hotel and once the strange visitor he was told would visit him, comes around with the money, he would go buy an apartment.
Osmond smiled satisfactorily to himself.
” Thank you Rekky for making me a rich man.”
*******
Mayor got to the Police check point. The Police officer recognized him from earlier, hence didn’t stop him.
Mayor drove into Ritualist’s Village with so much relief. He couldn’t wait to sign out for the day and return home to his wife and son.
One of the carriers rushed towards the car as he had seen the state Martins was. He lifted Martins from the car and carried him into the Deposition unit. He laid Martins beside his wife.
Rekky saw a man dropping a body beside her. Her vision was very blurry but she knew that smell.
Martins….
Where was she?
She saw a male body walk in and followed was a female voice saying …
” Really fast I must confess. Lucky you. Moko has been here 5 times since you left. He is very interested in the lady.” The Prietess said
It seem like Moko heard his name from wherever he was. He walked in unannounced.
” Is this the husband?” Moko asked
” Yes!” Mayor replied
Without saying anything else, he walked up to where Martins laid. With his special knife, he slaughtered Martins.
” No more hindrance! Prepare her for the auction.”
Martins’ legs buckled. He didn’t expect that.
Rekky couldn’t move her body but her ears and eyes were active. She had seen what had happened, but she was yet to grasp what was happening. One thing was sure. Her husband had just been slaughtered.
