PART 24
” RECKLESS REKKY”
Opeyemi O.Akintunde
Martins had found it hard to sleeping.
“What if the man was right? What if he is not a prophet of doom afterall?’
He looked sideways at Rekky who slept like a saint.
“God, can’t you change her?” Martins thought.
“That is too late, you have already concluded to have a divorce, you deserve all the happiness in the world” Another inner voice challenged him
“Yes, I deserve all the happiness in the world and Chioma will give me that happiness.” Martins concluded within himself.
Martins was tempted to wake Rekky up and have a heart to heart to talk, but the thought of spending forever with Chioma was more heartwarming.
Rekky knew Martins was awake and she suspected he wanted to have a word with her. She was ready for a conversation, especially after the crazy prophet of doom came the previous night.
She kept asking herself the strange and fearful question.
“What if I die by Monday? What would I say is my profit in this life? Would I say my existence was worth it or a waste?’ Rekky thought within as she hoped Martins would tap her for a conversation.
To her disappointment, Martins laid back on the bed.

“Honey, why the continuous hissing. You were disturbing my sleep” Doctor Mike’s wife complained as she stood up from the bed in preparation for Church.
“ I am sorry… I am really mad at myself!”
“Non-responsive patient?” His wife asked as she walked towards the bathroom
“No! I disobeyed God and now I don’t know the state of my patient!”
“Oh! Then instead of the complaining, pray.” His wife replied before turning on the shower.
“Are you coming to church?” She added
“Not sure! I have a life to save” he replied
Doctor Mike got down on bended knees.
“Lord forgive me for determining what or who is more important. Please let your scanning device search out where Mr. Mayor is. You are the God who can sweep an entire room clean in search of a lost coin, Father Give me insight on where to find him. God, make a way for him where he is, because you are the God who can make a way where there seem to be no way.”

Mirabel sat in her hotel room with her friend. Austin was fast asleep on the bed.
“I am sorry you had to leave your honeymoon to meet me here!”
“Dare was the one who asked me to come see you! He knows something terrible must have happened for you not to make it to my wedding yesterday”
“What has Happened is beyond terrible!”
“Give me the full gist!”
“Mayor is a human kidnapper, he kills people for a living….”

“We need to leave here immediately! He may know you moved here. Babe, come over to our honeymoon hotel. There is good security there.”
“Hotel 23?”
“ Yeah!”
“ Fine”
