PART 22
” RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
Mokolade rose up angrily, he kept pacing around his private apartment in the ritualist village; his abode for years. He only went home to his family once in three months. The lie everyone in his family and neighborhood bought was that he was a sailor. It was only his wife who knew the truth.
“ Mayor! That small boy! Has he forgotten what I did to those who rebelled against me in the past… No! He hasn’t! He is just trying to throw his small weight around to see if I will be a coward! Never! The Lion himself… that’s me!” He said before finally screaming out the name of the prophetess…
“Joannnnnnn….”
“ Yes Moko!”
“ Joan! Find Mayor and prepare him for auctioning!”
“ What? What did he do?”
“ Since when did you start questioning my instructions ?”
” I am sorry!” Joan said walking out very shocked.
She walked towards the Deposition unit. Discreetly, She brought out her phone. She sent a text to Mayowa’s phone and deleted it immediately.
The text read…
” You should leave your home NOW! Danger is coming towards you!”

Mayowa had slept off like a baby. Doctor Mike had turned off his phone, placing the phone on the center table. He wanted him to have a very sound sleep.
Doctor Mike was on his way out when he heard the voice..
” Stay with him!”
” HolySpirit, please I need to attend to my patients at the hospital.” Doctor Mike said as he drove out of the compound.
******
” Tony, Moko said you should bring Mayor forcefully to the village immediately!” Joan said but Tony also had a few seconds of mental shutdown.
” You said what?” Tony asked
” You heard me correctly the first time!”
Tony could smell danger, so he obediently turned from Joan. He called two of the staff working at the village to go with him.
******
Doctor Mike had reached his hospital in time. Indeed there were over 20 new patients.
” God! You see why it was necessary for me to leave Mr Mayor!” Doctor Mike said as a way of reassuring himself that by leaving Mayor to attend his patients , he was right.
” And the shepherd left the 99 to search for the missing one!” The inner voice replied
Doctor Mike paused on the patient he was about talking to…
What did that mean? Was God saying Mayor’s life was more important than all the patients in the hospital?
Without waiting for a reply, he dropped the patient’s file in the hands of another doctor.
” Doctor Byran ….Please finish up…I need to attend to an emergency!”
Doctor Mike rushed out of the clinic.
“Please Lord, don’t let Mayor die on me. Forgive me for using my logic to determine what’s more important “
*****
Tony and the boys pushed the security guard from the entrance. One of the boys pressed a gun on the belly of the security guard.
” It doesn’t make too much noise. No one would know we have killed you. So be a good man and lead us to your boss!” One of the men said.
