” RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O.Akintunde
“ Was that necessary?” Mayor asked the Prietess as he watched Martins on the floor.
“ What? “ The Prietess asked
“ The Slaughtering of the husband!” Mayor said
The Prietess gave Mayor a questioning look…
“ Mayor, Is everything alright? when did Slaughtering people become a big deal? That’s what we do here! Is everything alright!” She asked
“ I don’t know, Everything just doesn’t make sense anymore. I can’t imagine someone slaughtering my wife..!”
“ Guy, life doesn’t make sense. If you refuse to prey on people, you will become the prey. The husband was about to kill his wife. He was about using his wife’s P@ntiës to make money. Was he a saint?” The Prietess said
Rekky heard the conversation between them.
“ Martins! Using my P@ntiës for money? No That’s not my Martins. My P@ntiës? Oh No! Osmond!” Rekky thought
“ I need to go home. I have had enough drama for the day.!” Mayor said
“ Mayor, be careful. You are becoming soft. Moko doesn’t like soft!” The Prietess said.
Bright, the carrier that took Martins in was cleaning up Mayor’s car. His duty was to get rid of all implicating evidences. He cleaned up everything belonging Martins. He had cleaned up all of Rekky’s things earlier, but he didn’t see Rekky’s phone that had fallen underneath the front seat…
“ Everything cleared?” Mayor asked. He couldn’t wait to get home and cuddle his wife. Her chest always gave him a form of comfort after all the gruesome things he had to see during the line of his duty. He couldn’t wait to carry his son in his arms as well.

“ Yes everything is clear?” He replied
Mayor got into his car. He suddenly remembered the husband saying a friend knew his wife had been kidnapped.
“How?” He reasoned
Martins couldn’t answer how , but he decided to be cautious especially since the police was already on the case.
“ Bright, all the phones you took from the car, when selling them, make sure you are untraceable. I have a feeling the family of the couple will track the phone.” Mayor said
“ Ok noted!” Bright replied
Mayor zoomed off to his paradise.

Mirabel was preparing her husband’s favorite dish. Mayor was the awesome husband her mother never had. Growing up, Mirabel had always prayed for a good man . Mayor came to her as the perfect man she had always dreamed of. Mirabel knew he was a perfect gentleman despite knowing there were things she was yet to know about his life.
The familiar sound of his car horn cut her thoughts short.
“ Dada! Dada!” Austin screamed on hearing the horn of his father’s car.
“ Yes..Dada is back! “ Mirabel picked up her son from his play area. She walked out of the building…
“ Work was quite fast today!” Mirabel said
“Not really! I just took time off . I was missing you seriously.”
“ Awwnn… And that makes the two of us… I have a surprise for you!”
“ Really? What could that be?”
“ If I tell you, it will ruin my surprise!” Mirabel said laughing. Her laughter was always a song in his ears.
“ Dada! Dada!” Austin demanded his own share of attention from his father…
“ Mini me… How are you? Are you balling? “ Mayor said as he tickled his son. The innocent rich sound of his laughter warmed Mayor’s heart…
“ I love you more than anything in the world!” Mayor said to Austin
“ More than me ?” Mirabel asked with a fake frown…
“ Never!” He said laughing. With his big arms he lifted Mirabel. Invariably, he was carrying Mirabel who also was carrying Austin.
“ This is it… I love you more than anything in this world and by showing love to you, you Inturn show love to our son, it is indirectly me with showing love to him” Mayor said
“ Fraudster of life.. !” Mirabel said jokingly but that hit Mayor in the wrong place..
“ What’s that? “
“ What?”
“ Your calling me a Fraudster!”
“ It was a jokeeee” Mirabel said tickling her husband while still in his arms…
“ I don’t like that Joke, why not call me a holy man!” He said faking his smile…
“ Are you okay Mayor?” Mirabel asked him. She saw his eyes up close and she could tell something was wrong
“ I….” Mayor was saying but his phone rang…
It was his work phone that rang. It was unusual. He dropped Mirabel quickly to check the caller ID.
“ Joan!” Mayor said out alarmed. That was the Prietess calling.
“ Baby, can I meet you inside.” Mayor said to Mirabel.
It wasn’t unusual for Mirabel to leave Mayor whenever he was called on his office line. Mayor told Mirabel he was working with a Special Operation squad under the government and they were into capturing ritualists. Mayor told her as a way of protecting her, he couldn’t let her know anything about their work. His usual slogan to her was “ Hear no evil and no evil will happen to you.”
Mayor went far away from the building.
“ Hello Joan! What is…”
“ We have a problem Mayor, Moko killed the wrong person. Her husband is not the one who wants her dead. It’s the last person who slept with her. Moko must not find out….Mayor, find the man before nightfall or you will really lose your son!” Joan said with a fearful voice.
The time stopped. Mayor couldn’t soak in what he just heard… To be continued
