PART 28
” RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
“That’s the car …” Mirabel said on sighting Tony’s car
“Which car?” Doctor Mike asked
“The car trailing me !”
“You sure?” Doctor Mike looked through his Side Mirror.
“Yes…”
Doctor Mike brought out his phone and dialed the police help line. Unfortunately, no one was picking up.
“ God help our country!” He said angrily
All of a sudden, the car overtook the ambulance forcing Doctor Mike to a halt.
One of the boys went to pick Mirabel and her son…
“ No screaming, Your husband wants to see you!”
Tony on the other hand, went straight to Doctor Mike.
“Your death will be a great message to Rubber!” Tony said as he pulled him out of the ambulance into the vehicle.”
Passersby began to scream for help. Apparently, there was a Police station close to the place of the incident. Tony brought out his gun, likewise his boys and they began to fire different shots in the air.
One of the Stray bullets hit a young boy hawking on the street.
“Jesus!” Doctor Mike Screamed
“ He can’t save you now, so Save your breath!” Tony said angrily
******
“ You are still angry at me?” Rekky asked as she stroked Osmond’s neck from behind
“ I am not!’
“ Yes you are!”
“ Yes I am… Yes I am angry at your lack of trust, six months and you don’t trust me. To think that I was telling my friend you were not just using me as a side Di*K, that you truly loved me as much I love you, but I guess I have just been fooling myself. I mean… how can you ever think of it… that I would want to use you for rituals.. I mean…if that was my thing, I could have done that the first day I met you, why waste six crazy months playing hide and seek.” Osmond said angrily.
He was not going to accept failure… He had to come up with a game plan.
******
It was Past Six in the evening already and Tony was not back. Mayowa had the confidence his wife and son would not be found as he believed God was with him on this journey of his. The only thing he wanted to focus his mind on was how he could get out of the place and locate Rekky and Osmond before anyone else.
********
Few Hours later…
Mayowa had tears dropping on its own when he sighted Mirabel and Austin. His heart broke further when he saw Doctor Mike. He suspected what had happened. Tony must have found out about Doctor Mike and when they got hold of him, he gave his family up.
Moko pulled Mirabel by her hair towards Mayowa.
“ Watch how I will kill your wife or should it be your son first?” Moko said grabbing Austin away from Mirabel
The loud cry of Austin was tearing Mayowa’s heart to pieces.
“ God, Why give me a second chance that I cannot use!” Mayowa cried out
“ Mayor, tell them not to kill our baby!” Mirabel said crying
“ Moko please! Let them go! Kill me instead!”
Mayowa’s words hit Moko wrongly. He was expecting Mayowa to speak up about Rubber and the plans to get him out of business but here he was, still adamant and preferring to die.
*******
Doctor Mike knew there was no escape.
“ Just one error of not listening to God has landed me in trouble. If only I had stayed with him as God instructed , maybe I won’t be here!” Doctor Mike reasoned as he saw the devil in Moko.
Moko out of anger, walked towards Doctor Mike, and unexpectedly he slaughtered Doctor Mike…
“This is just an example of what is coming for your wife, your son and ultimately YOU if you don’t give me the answers I want!”
“Oh God!” Mirabel shouted before passing out.
Mayowa went mute and blank. He couldn’t believe the death sequence had started in another way, despite wanting to stop it.
As Doctor Mike struggled in between his last gasp of short breaths, a reality struck him…
“There are people you need to save so as to keep your life safe as well”
Doctor Mike Struggled to give Mayowa the last look before kicking the bucket.
At this point, Mayowa knew Moko meant business. He looked up at Moko and said passionately with tears dropping from his already red and puffy eyes.
“ Moko please! Listen I am not working for Rubber. I don’t know how else to explain this but believe me, when I say more deaths will happen in the next twenty four hours and ultimately your end!”
Moko picked up Baby Austin who was yelling uncontrollably…
“ Moko, please!” Mayowa wanted to break free of the chain Moko had instructed them to bind him with.
“ Joan, I don’t like his noise, silence him!” Moko said staring into Mayowa’s eyes though the instruction was to Joan.
Joan froze and she could swear that was the first time, she was afraid of killing someone. To her, Mayowa was a brother and killing his son would be like killing her own Son. She was about to plead on Mayowa’s behalf, when Moko elaborated on his statement.
“Don’t kill him yet, just take away his senses!” Moko explained
“ Yes Boss!” Joan replied and right before Mayowa, while maintaining a strong eye to eye assurance contact with Mayowa, Joan tapped Austin’s forehead 3 times. The baby stopped crying sharply and began to look like a moron!
