TOJO the jungle LORD
(lord of the jungle)
episode 8
I recognised the voice it was detective uwais___.
In fear and anger, they turned in uniforn, but was too late. He fired two shots, one hit jack on his chest as he slumped and died in quater of a second, while the other got don on his arm and he fell down grunting in pains, the he was holding was still on his hand. As detective Uwais came forth, he attempted to fire back at him but not very fast, detective uwais added one more bullet in his skull and he died.
“wow” l screamed from my hiding place. As they both turned in my direction.
“Tojo!!!” he muttered in shock. “you are indeed very brave and stubborn”. l was very happy and relieved as l came off my hiding place.
“I thought everybody including my brother was going to die, but the Devil who is always present came to our” l said and we all laughed.
“officer please what’s your name?”.
“l am kate” she replied.
“no wonder, your name has followed you. according to professor TOJO, “the word kate or the name rather was coined from a japanese word “karate” and am quite sure you over kicked before or after you were born” l said and we all laughed at this again. “but how did you get here” asked det. uwais.
**Flashback«« mr shakur was discussing with det. uwais while his car was parked adjacent them so l tip toed to where the car was and hid in the boot till we got here.
“d@mn!! seems you are kinda stubborn”.
“not kinda, l am stubborn” we laughed.
Mr shakur came off the car with talib to where we were, immediately talib sighted me his jaw dropped.
“OMG, what’s going on here? who is he? is he masked or what? talib questioned in confusion.
“look at this senseless id!ot” l thought to myself.
“calm down talib, l will explain everything to you when we get home” said mr shakur.
We all vacated the premises while an ambluance came for the kidnappers, the falling hero’s and the injured ones.
It’s been a month now since l had been with talib and the shakur’s and probably three months l left the jungle for the search of my brother. l was already missing my parents and my friends. Yes my animals friends.
We journeyed back to the village with the shakur’s first to my uncle place, where they were welcomed and entertained while l sneaked back to the jungle to let my parent know of my arrival with my twin brother, but on reaching the jungle l discovered our hut was abadoned as nothing was inside and everywhere was filled with grass.
“What’s happening here, hope l am dreaming” l confronted my consciense.
“FATHER!!? MOTHER!!!?” I called and cried out to no avail. l didn’t even see my animals friend rather. “were they attacked or did they change location” l was lost wondering when a thought flash my brain to go check the building we discovered few months back. l immediately jumped up on my feet and ran as fast as my leg could carry me to the building and fell immediately at the sight of my mother at the front of the building. l have ran a kilometre if not more than.
My monkey friend was first to see me before alerting the rest While they came to carry me to the house. It was one gorrila who carried me.
“TOJO!! my son” my mother rejoice after seeing me.
“welcome back son” my father said. l narrated my adventure to them and also about the shakur visit. who were still waiting at uncle arome’s house. on a norm my father will dis-honor meeting the shakur but this time was different he covered his face so no one will recognised him as we journeyed to uncle arome’s house in the village.
We arrived there in less than 30 minutes. To cut the story short, there was a formal introduction at uncle arome’s house. We were still together when a palace guard came to fetch my uncle and his families, when my uncle intends on knowing why not only him but together with his family the guard made a shocking revelation that the queen want to confess but the king insist she confess in the presense of all the villagers.
“l saw this day coming” my father muttered. Am sure it’s Only my uncle who understood this statement of his cos responded “me too”.
We all got to the palace in company of the shakur’s, as many arrived too. At the palace was the aged king, the royal sons and daughter, the council of elders and many other villagers.
“The villagers are here you can now make any confession you want to make now” the king said.
“my king, my elders and the villagers l want to appologize and confess the sins l have commited in this palace” she paused.
“Go on we are listening” said on of the elders.
“hmmm! Please my people, my king forgive me”
“with deal respect confess or remain silent forever, this is the second time you are pleading for forgiveness, what if your sins are not pardonable” another elder fired at her in anger.
“What do you mean by that, have you forgotten you are talking to the queen” one of the prince challenged. There was a comotion in the palace now.
“SILENT!!!” the king ordered. and everywhere was now quiet again like a graveyard.
“for the second time, speak now or remain silent forever” the king ordered.

“my king l have two confession to make, first you are.” she paused weeping.
“I am what?” the king asked in anger.
“l am sorry you are not the father of my first four children” she wept.
our jaw dropped at this.
“eeehhhhhhhh” the villagers exclaimed in shock.
“l beg your pardon?” the king pondered.
“l am sorry you are not their father you only fathered my last son”.
“ah ELIFOR (abomination)” one of the elders voiced.
“what a taboo” another elder exclaimed.
“their father iss…”.
“stop it there, l don’t want to know their father” the king paused in.
“carry on with your second confession” the king queried.
“l am sorry! Ocholi didn’t attempt to R@PE me, l formed all allegation against him that made you sentenced him to death” she confessed.
“You did what? you made me sentenced my beloved son to death just because jealousy” the king wept.
“ocholi my dear son, wherever you are, l know you can here me, please forgive! l am sorry for not believing you but l had to lead by example. Please forgive me” the king said amid sobs.
“am sorry my king”
“one more word from you, l will behe@d you” the king threatened.
“And what if l say, l am not dead?” my father said coming forward and uncovering his face.
The queen collaped and faint while the villagers, including some the elders took to their heels as they ran helter-skelter as soon as they saw him.
“ghost! ghost!! ghost!!!” they said as they ran while l and my siblings burst into a racous laughter.

“is this truly you?” the king quizzed while walking towards my father.
“Yes it’s me” he replied. and the king hugged him so tight. while those who ran ealier appeared one after the other.
“How did you survived? did you resurrected?” the king asked.
“I didn’t die, Arome here and the other guard you sent to kill me spared my life”.
The queen son, who used to be the chief confronter of my father, stood there with mouth agape tryin to comprehend what’s going on.
“The queen and her four children were later banished, leaving behind only the last son, who was the king biological son from her.
“Blood is thicker than water no wonder he was the only one who love my father” l thought.
Two years later the king died but before his death, he pronounce that who ever is going to be king after my father cos my father was next, must live and hunt in the jungle alone for six months.
It’s been years and things has change alot, my father was now the king, talib was still with the shakur’s but often visit. As for the animals (my friends) they now have a special place were the lived in the village.
