PART 35
“RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O. Akintunde
“Ewo! Abomination! Who dares take a prey from the mouth of the Lion?” The herbalist said angrily.
He opened his viewing mirror and saw Joan struggling with him.
“The dog that enters the den of a lion will be destroyed!” The herbalist said as he released the arrow of blindness to Joan.
***
“My eyes!” Joan screamed.
Moko went close to Joan and pushed her aside. He began to chant more retaliation chants. Moko raised his cloth and his undergarment of charm was revealed.
Meanwhile, Mayowa sat down defeated. He knew what was coming. Unknowing to him, things were not going to end as he knew.
Mayowa crept out of the deposition unit to find his wife and son. Moko saw his movement but he wanted to finish this rival of his.
***
The herbalist knew his power was reducing. He decided to throw his fire missile at Moko.
Osmond was outside in another shrine where the herbalist had kept him. He didn’t know what was going on.
After battling intensely with Moko for over 15 minutes, with the last strength the herbalist could gather he fired at Moko – his fire Missile. Moko staggered and fell.
At that same time, Rekky woke up from her hypnotism.
“Jesus!” was the first word that popped out of her mouth.
***
Mayowa had taken Mirabel and Austin, but there was a problem. Austin was still looking like a moron. He needed Joan to tap his head again. He needed to go to the deposition unit.
Cautiously, he took Austin towards the Deposition unit. As he peeped, he saw Moko on the fall. He was relieved thinking he was dead.
He ran towards Joan who was chanting different incantations to restore her eyesight.
“Joan please help me with my son!”
“Mayor…let me restore my sight first!”
Mayor stood watching, Mirabel was in tears as she was shaking visibly. Rekky managed to get up and as she turned to look towards the people talking.
“You!” She said to Mayowa.
“So you are the ritualists! You came and lied to me that I was going to be kidnapped when you are actually the kidnapper!”
“You are alive!” Mayowa screamed.
Mayowa’s voice woke Moko from his temporal coma, but he didn’t move his body.
He had to settle this score! Mayor was really a snitch! He had one thing to do! Kill Mayor!
***
“Everyone ….don’t move!” A loud voice commanded from outside.
“This place has been surrounded by the Anti-terrorism squad, if anyone moves, they are dead!”
Moko could no longer stay down. He couldn’t believe Mayor even exposed him to the police.
Unknowing to Moko, the police had tracked Doctor Mike’s phone to Tony’s Car in the Ritualist’s village.
With rage, Moko rose with the baby strength in him, and with one of his poisoned knives, he stabbed Mayor in his belly.
“Mokooooo!” Mayowa screamed.
“Mayorrrrr!” Mirabel’s scream echoed.
The scream alerted the police and they rushed into the deposition unit.
Moko tapped his belly thrice in order to disappear, but the fire missile the herbalist had fired at him, neutralized his teleporting powers.
“You are under arrest!”
****
The herbalist called on his son!
“Ifatoyinbo!”
“Baba mii”
“We have taken the wrong job! Send that bad luck man away from here,” he struggled to say.
Ifatoyinbo went out and in anger chased Osmond out of the shrine. Osmond had only a white wrapper on.
“What’s happening? Where is my money?”
“Which money? You bad luck person! Carry your bad luck and leave here!”
“You say? I didn’t hear you? Oh! you people are exactly what that prophet told me. He said you will give my wealth to someone else. Never! Me! Osmond I will kill you before your father does that to me!” Osmond started struggling with Ifatoyinbo. Osmond was good in Karate. He beat Ifatoyinbo till he had no strength anymore.
“Baba mii, Ba…ba..mi” Ifatoyinbo screamed for his father’s help.
“What is happening?” the herbalist managed to ask.
“He is …beat…ing me oo.”
“I command you Osmond, lose your senses and never remember the road to this place again!” The herbalist commanded with his charm coated tongue.
Immediately, Osmond ran out of the premises shouting,
“Where is my Money?”
***
Mirabel was crying over Mayowa who laid on the ground. The police team did not come with any paramedics. Mayowa was left dying.
“I am so…rry!” He said to Mirabel before kicking the bucket!
