Must Read: *FATE_OR_MISTAKES*

*
“Mgbueke i don see one parasite for here oh” the husky voice of the man that covered my mouth rang. I was pinching and slapping his hand in a bid to remove his hand. He covered it real tight that I couldn’t produce any sound from my mouth. He held my wrist behind my back with one hand still using the second one to cover my mouth.

“Make I end am?” He asked. I guessed “end” means kill, so I was scared that all the hairs on my body stood.


“Oga Crusher, press pause, no kill am yet” I heard a very tiny feminine voice. She moved closer. She was not too fat or slim, those women you describe as “medium”. She had an ugly innocent face.


She squatted in front of me, look at me like she was searching for something on my face den she nodded and said “we go use am” she was putting on a black turtleneck fitted top and an army green shorts.

“Omama Mgbueke, we don clear the security guard oh” another masculine built man said. “OK. Make we penetrate, we don find bait” she was giving others like the boss. she was actually the boss.


“Please, just let me go, don’t kill me. I would erase my memory, I won’t even remember seeing you” I pleaded in whispers immediately I was free. “Ssh! Shut up. Just cooperate with us. After this operation we would let u go but if you fukk up ehn ur own don finish” I nodded my head continuously out of fear “good girl” she said with a smirk. We walked through the street with the two guys walking directly beside me, like body guards.


We followed a bush part until we got to an uncompleted building where we meet three other guys waiting patiently. “Omama” they hailed the lady in unison. Everyone of them was dressed in black from head to toe except from her, she was the only girl in their mist plus I made it two girls and five guys “we have to end dis runs sharpadly”. The gunshot must have already all alerted people for this hood, so the police would soon be on their way. But no going back, it’s not or never” she paused and looked around while the others nodded in agreement “this smallie would knock on the gate, once the gateman I opens the gate.

Scorpion” “Omama Mgbueke” a tall man with squinty eyes answered. He was not as masculine as the others “you way will silence the gateman, while the rest if us move to the house. The senator is too greedy and we need that money” she concluded and marched out of the building with the rest following suit. I dare not attempt to run. In fact I was scared to think of running.


Immediately we came out of the bush part what happened was wat they never envisage.


Gunshots and bullets welcomed us, three of the been were shot already. They were taken totally off guard. Crusher and Mgbueke tried to escape. I just went to one corner knelt down, raised up my hands and closed my eyes. Before long, the gunshot seized. Seems the police were alerted and they came there on time.
“I am innocent oh” Mgbueke pleaded. An officer came to me, pulled me up and dragged all of us to their van. They were about twelve police officers. I was dazed and also clueless on what would happen next.


By the time we got to the station it was daybreak. I, Mgbueke, crusher and one of the other men were kept on an empty cell.


Mgbueke and crusher pulled the metal bar pleading with the officers “officer, I was just coming from a vigil” Crusher said still pulling and pushing the metal door. I sat on the floor with the other guy who was bleeding and groaning in pain. He was shot on his arm.


“Sir, we got them. They were seven of them trying to rob senator Ijeh. But we were alerted on time and we tracked them down. Three of them are dead, one was shot on the arm. We b brought him with three others to the station” an officer gave the account over the phone with so much pride “yes sir” he said and ended the call.


“Oga I swear, ask my sister na. We no be thief. We are innocent” Mgbueke said pointing to the quiet me. “Sister talk na, tell them that we were traveling to meet grandma na” she said looking at me. Her facial expression was different from that of someone who was pleading. Her eyes were threatening and intimidating but wetin concern me. In fact I was comfortable here, shelter in disguise I saw in my own perspective. If they would take us to jail seen so be it. It’s better than living a miserably life full of regrets without direction. “Grandma and sister kill you for there . wen we see gun for your body. No be only innocent” an unkempt looking officer said while the others laughed.
