    *THE NEXT DAY**

    **AT THE CONFERENCE HALL**

    Everybody sat still talking abouth the death of Chief Ali. Chief Ali’s wife sat also still in pains of her husband’s death and revenge in her eyes. The hall was a bit noisy. Police Officers stood at various edges of the hall.. Chief Williams and his wife sat also but didn’t say anything. Just then President Donatus walked in and everywhere became silent as they all stood up to greet

    ”This day is a very sad one for all of Us here” President Donatus said standing up.

    ”I am not going to rephrase the story neither will I say what happened because we all know that we have lost another pillar in this country” President Donatus said and raised up his head a little

    ”Politics is supposed to be a peaceful ground where people are their brother’s keepers but it’s now a battle field” President Donatus said and shook his head

    ”This nonsense won’t continue. We will pin down the culprit of this!” President Donatus said

    ”Yes! That’s it!” They all agreed but Chief Williams looked at them all not saying anything

    ”Now Chief Williams” President Donatus called and sat down

    ”We all know you and Chief Ali had a serious problem which almost led to a fight.” President Donatus said

    ”What is you say in this” He asked Chief Williams

    ”And what are you trying to insinuate your excellency” Chief Williams argied standing up immediately

    ”That I killed him or what?” He asked rhetorically

    ”You killed my husband Chief Williams” Mrs. Ali said in tears

    ”Listen woman I didn’t kill anybody” Chief Williams defended himself

    ”As a matter of fact, Chief Ali sent his men and shot at my thug and my househelp. As if that wasn’t enough, he sent his thugs at me twice to kill me” Chief Williams said angrily

    ”And how sure are you that he was the one?” President Donatus asked

    ”This is not a law court your Excellency. I didn’t kill him and that’s final!” Chief Williams said hitting his hands on the table

    ”You can’t deny it Chief Williams. We shall meet at the law court because the police is seriously investigating this matter” President Donatus said

    ”You are a killer and you will pay for it” Chief Muhammed a friend to Chief Ali said adjusting his agbada directly looking into Chief Williams eyes

    ”I bet you all will regret this statements of yours after the court room!” Chief Williams said and looked at his wife

    ”Let’s get out of here” He said to her and Mrs. Williams hissed at all of them following her hisband

    ”Chief Williams!” Mrs. Ali called out and he looked at her but she said nothing. Chief Williams turned around and left the arena and everyone began to murmur again

    ”We better settle this matter amicably, he might not be the one so as not to cause another problem” Chief Mustaphar, another prior member of the conference said but no one replied or reacted to his statement. Soon enough, the hall began to be empty as they left gradually..

    *

    ”These people are daring me!” Chief Williams said as he entered his house with his wife

    ”But honey did you kill him?” Mrs. Williams asked

    ”Why shouldn’t I.. Or do you want him to kill me first?” Chief Williams said to his wife who fully supported it.

    ”How then are you going to deny this in court now even the President is involved” Mrs. Williams asked

    ”Leave me to think woman” Chief Williams said

    ”I don’t want my name to be on the television as the wife of a murderer, better think fast” Mrs. Williams said and went upstairs. Chief Williams paid deaf ears to her last statement looking very worried. Just then, One bullet and Spark entered

    ”Boss, you look worried, tell us what it is and let’s handle it Boss” One bullet said looking serious but Chief Williams looked at them

    ”Boss, your face no carry signal. Roger the matter make we handle am nah” Spark said but Chief Williams smiled

    ”Don’t worry my boys. I will handle it my way” Chief Williams said and dismissed them..

    ”Guy, I no tell you” Spark said touching One bullet as the went out

    ”Wetin?” One Bullet asked

    ”I tell you say Oga wan use style take replace us but you no dey hear am” Spark said

    ”Guy, I don dey reason that thing ooh. But I no sure say he go dismiss us out nah” One bullet said looking worried as he flung his gun on the table outside

    ”Useless man.. Dey go jhoor” One bullet said and Spark left…

    *****************

    AT NIGHT SAME DAY

    Chief Williams was busy sleeping and dreaming good dreams. His slow and warm rotation on the bed shows that nothing is bothering him at all. On the other hand, Mrs. William’s eye were widely open in thought. Although she laid down but she couldn’t sleep. As her thought became unbearable, she rose and sat on the bed looking at her husband who was sleeping deeply. She hissed and touched him

    ”Honey.. Honey please wake up” Mrs. Williams said with a frowned face. With sleepy eyes, Chief Williams yawned and raised his head

    ”Oooh!! What is it that can’t wait till morning” Chief Williams asked his wife

    ”Please wake up, we need to talk” Mrs. Williams said still frowning and Chief Williams dragged himself up

    ”Now, what is it?” Chief Williams asked

    ”I am still bothered what transpired today at the conference hall” Mrs. Williams said

    ”The court will nail us down and give us a bad name” She complained and Chief Williams looked at her

    ”Is that all?” He asked and Mrs. Williams was surprised at the question

    ”You don’t seem bothered at all honey” She said

    ”Why should I be bothered?” Chief Williams asked

    ”I have told you not to worry yourself, that I will take care of it. What else do you want me to say” Chief Williams said to her

    ”Please, if that’s all, kindly go and sleep… Good Night” Chief Williams said and laid down immediately

    ”So that’s all you have to say eeh.. I don’t want anything that will tarnish my name ooh.. Or else, I will just hand you over standing as a witness against you” Mrs. Williams said aloud but Chief Williams paid deaf ears to her. On seeing that her words were poured on a stone. She angrily laid down also and slept off…

    **IN THE MORNING**

    Chief Williams, Prof. Michael and Mrs. Williams were seen in the parlour. Their faces were not bright at all. Mrs. Williams and Prof. Michael sat down but Chief Williams stood up walking about

    ”Chief, please sit down” Prof. Michael said to Chief Williams who didn’t say any word

    ”This is just a minor matter Chief. I don’t see anything too harsh in this” Prof. Michael said and Chief Williams looked at him

    ”You don’t see anything harsh that I am being conspired against and my enemies wants me down?” Chief Williams asked in anger and Prof. Michael kept quiet

    ”Anger solves nothing, rather it adds to your pains.. What is it Chief?” The voice of Spartacus was heard from behind and Mrs. Williams became afraid seeing a dark guy with face covered with a mask. On hearing that Chief Williams smiled

    ”Some people thinks they can defeat a Lion in its den” Chief Williams said not looking at Spartacus

    ”They are planning a court case against me to bring me down but I can’t allow that happen” Chief Williams added and turned around looking at the Masky face of Spartacus

    ”I want you to delete all charges, make sure that court process do not hold! I don’t know how you will do it but, just make me win this case!” Chief Williams said without a smile on his face

    ”Don’t bother about your pay.. I will pay you richly” Chief Williams said and Spartacus exhaled

    ”Done!” He said and left

    ”Is that all?” Mrs. Williams asked

    ”How sure are you that he won’t fail?” Mrs. Williams asked again but nobody replied her

    ”Better be sure of this oo” Mrs. Williams added

    ”Shut up woman!!” Chief Williams barked at Mrs. Williams with an angry eye and Mrs. Williams stood up and left..

    ”Natasha!” Chief Williams called out

    ”Get me a glass of Red Wine” He ordered and sat down

    *

    ”Ahmed, please open the gate” Cynthia said to her gateman walking out to enter her car

    ”Sorry Ma, but you can’t go out alone” A Police officer said standing in front of her

    ” Why?” Cynthia asked

    ”It’s an order Madam” The Officer added

    ” What useless order.. From who?” Cynthia asked becoming a bit furious

    ”Your Father Madam” The Officer said

    ”That’s nonsense.. Arrant nonsense!” Cynthia said

    ”Get out of my way, I’m going out” Cynthia ordered

    ”So sorry Ma, either we go with you or you won’t go anywhere Ma” The Officer said not looking at her and Cynthia brought out her phone immediately

    ”Hello Dad.. What nonsense harrassment is this” She asked on the phone

    ”The refuse me on going out” Cynthia added

    ”Yes my dear, I learnt that the situation in Nigerai now is very bad and I don’t want anything to happen to you my dear” Chief Wilson said

    ”But I can take care of myself” Cynthia said

    ”Yes I know all that. It makes no difference dear” Chief Wilson said

    ”We love you dear” Chief Wilson said and hung up the call

    ”Gosh! What the hell is all this” Cynthia asked herself and frustratingly entered the car

    ”Take me out of here” She said and two officers entered the car with her

    How to grow your business while you stay at home
    ”Where to Ma” The driver asked

    ”Just keep moving” Cynthia said with a angry looking face…

    Chimamanda spent some time attending to Nina, before she finally picked her bag to leave, promising to return the next day.


    Prince Nnamdi: I do not know why you changed your mind, but thank you! I look forward to your coming tomorrow. I pray the gods show her mercy and heal her.


    Chimamanda: Amin


    King AZAZA: Make sure you come on time tomorrow. Do not keep my bride waiting.


    Chimamanda took another wicked look at him before going out. On their way out, Aguyi held her hand and asked.


    Aguyi: my child, one minute you are standing your ground never to help the queen to be, the next minute you are down helping her with so much passion. Why? What did you see.


    Chimamanda: Father there is nothing to ask or think about. I just did what my spirit asked me to do.


    Aguyi: may the gods bless you my child for not allowing a fellow human die.


    ***************


    Ikenna and Ajuwe had prepared lots of arrows and they have decided to return back to the village.


    Ajuwe: Ike what’s the next plan now?


    Ikenna: Firstly I will go and see how my sister is faring. When I return I will know what next to do.


    Ajuwe: Then I will go with you.


    Ikenna and Ajuwe arrived the palace and met Prince Nnamdi outside. Ikenna introduced himself as the brother to the young maiden that the igwe had captured and arrested. Prince Nnamdi could perceive hatred for the king from Ikenna. He took them in and showed them NINA.


    IKENNA: what happened to her, who did this to her?(he stood up boiling in anger)


    Prince Nnamdi: calm down, she had a slight accident. She fell down and hit her head on a chair.


    Ajuwe: (holding her by her hand) my poor NINA , I am so sorry I wasn’t here to help you, don’t worry ike and I are here now and we will never leave you alone again.


    Ikenna: this was no accident. I am sure the king has a hand in this, this was no accident.


    Prince Nnamdi: we’ve called a healer, she was here yesterday and she will be here any moment from now.


    Ikenna: if anything happens to my sister, if anything happens to her. Let me not say anything yet. (He turned and walked out of the room angry, in his way out he stepped on Chimamanda who was walking in, but he was too angry to even say sorry, he just stormed out)


    Chimamanda: Ouch, who is this one na, see the way he stepped on me and felt so big to say sorry. Stupid!
    (She walked into the room, she greeted Ajuwe and prince Nnamdi, and commenced treatment immediately. She brought out a leaf, squeezed it and out it into her nostril. After a while, Nina sneezed and opened her eyes.) She was so weak…..


    Nina: Water, I need water


    Prince Nnamdi quickly got up and ran to the kitchen past the maids and brought the water to Nina. She drank the water and felt a bit strong. She turned and looked at the faces around, she didnt recognise anyone except Ajuwe whom she hugged so tight before asking.


    Nina: where am I please?


    Ajuwe: oh my child, bless the gods you are alive, I was so worried.


    Nina: where am I ma,


    Ajuwe: you are at the palace, my dear, do you remember anything?


    Nina: I think I do, I remember the king locking me up because I refused his proposal for marriage. (She turned and looked from the prince to China) ma, who are these people? Where is Ikenna?


    Prince Nnamdi: welcome back dear, my name is NNAMDI.


    AJUWE: Nina honey, This is Prince Nnamdi, son of King AZAZA, he has been the one taking good care of you.


    Prince Nnamdi: And this is chimamanda, she is the healer who took care of you and brought you back to life, after many other healers have failed.


    Nina turned to Chimamanda and thanked her so much for all she’s done for her.


    Chimamanda: there’s no need to thank me, I just did what my spirit asked me to do.


    Nina: where is Ikenna?


    Ajuwe: He just stepped out few minutes ago.he will be back.


    Nina: I really want to see him. (She turned to Nnamdi) Thank you so much for taking care of me, please tell your father that I am ready to marry him.


    Prince Nnamdi: what did you say?


    Nina: I said tell the king that I am now ready to be his Queen.


    Nnamdi’s eyes widened, his mouth opened as he stared at Nina like a ghost.

    Amirah’s Pov


    A week passed in New York after the death of Ariel, at first it felt like a dream no it felt like a nightmare but as a week past it was no longer a nightmare it was reality and couldn’t bring myself to accept it I buried myself in this dark corner and I’m afraid I can never come out of it.

    A week passed after the bombing security has been tight because the Mayor thought another bombing could occur probably because they were attacked by terrorists but no I was partially the reason that hospital was bombed.

    Hunter and I went to town square to be briefed on those that died, I was idle among the crowd I didn’t pay attention to some of the names called.

    “Ariel Dallas, her body had more hit during the bombing she survived with a mother and a few relatives.”

    Anger course through my veins, Ariel had relatives and they didn’t once visit her after her mother left her they are all horrible people.
    “We send our condolences to those who lost their lives during the bombing, thank you for making yourself present during this briefing we call it to a dismissal.” The commissioner said as everyone slowly scattered I fixed my eyes at everyone one by one then my gaze stuck at Hunter.

    He was wearing a black mask to hide his identity with a white and blue buttoned up shirt tucked under his black denim jacket and his dark blue jean to complement it all.

    He walked up to me and stopped when we were a inch apart.
    “Want to stay longer? ” he asked as I shook my head.

    Kaleb and Thiago were in Denver taking care of a mission, Hunter was supposed to be with them but he decided to stay and keep me company in New York.

    We haven’t discussed anything about the death of Ariel neither have we discussed about what’s next for me, he was either waiting for me or heal patiently or he was afraid I was going to leave nonetheless he tried as much as possible to keep my mind away from the fact that Ariel was gone.

    What was the point of Living?

    “Thank you for coming with me to the briefing but I think this is where we part ways I don’t want to keep holding you down.” I said looking back at him for a reaction but I got none.

    “What are you going to do? ” he asked trying to study my thoughts but it was broken.

    “I’m going back to my apartment to pack some few things and probably wait for whoever killed Ariel to kill me too.”

    “Amirah… “

    “Let me be Hunter, I put everyone in danger I can’t keep being the reason everyone dies thank you for everything but I have to draw the curtains here, go back to your Nashville because I’m not going back with you.” I couldn’t bite back my tears and I knew the more words that kept coming from my mouth the more it hurt Hunter but he couldn’t show it.

    I slowly stepped back before finally twirling around and walking away from him.

    I first went to the hospital that was bombed staring awfully long at the crumbled building, pain and anger coarse through my veins, my blood boiled as every single of my tears drop down to the earth.

    “forgive me for what I did from stopping you from living a normal life.” my heart ached but it couldn’t bring her back I went back to my apartment on the table was a tablet and a gun I went over and picked up the tablet it was on pause.

    I sat down on the couch opposite the table and clicked on the video.
    ‘Elenora Dallas compensated with half a million from the funds of her daughters surgery after loosing her daughter to the bombing…’ my blood boiled as I watched how the woman greedily took the money after leaving her daughter to die.

    The video stopped still continued playing as I saw nothing but darkness.

    “This was the woman who abandoned her daughter and mostly the reason Ariel gave hope, now she’s scott free pitied by the public eye while Ariel died unjustly your hope for living is gone.” more tears roll down my cheek as the voice continue.

    “There is a gun on the table and when the video ends the address to Elenora Dallas is pasted, pick up the gun and find Elenora then you can finally kill that woman who is taking advantage of her daughters death then after that you can decide whether to kill yourself or not.” the video ended I put down the tablet and picked up the gun looking back at the Tablet.

    I put down the gun and changed into a black dress which was knee length and a white jacket I took one of my purses and a sun hat and picked up the gun stashing it in my purse.

    I strut out of the building slamming the door behind me as revenge burned at the back of my mind.

    Hunter’s Pov
    Everytime I try to at least comfort her she always puts up a wall and now hell knows what’s going on in her mind.

    My phone rings disturbing my thoughts I quickly answer the call.
    “How’s the mission? ” I asked, it was Kaleb.

    “Nothing suspicious yet, what about Amirah? ” he asked.

    “She went back to her apartment, she said she needed to pack up some things.” I muttered.

    “I can imagine what she’s going through poor Amirah.” he said as I massage my temples.

    “Kaleb? “

    “Hunter you can’t force her to just do what you want. I know you want the best for her but Amirah has lost a lot of people and she’s only 21, you have to leave New York tommorow if it’s her wish for you to stay away then stay away..” he said over the phone, I hanged up tossing my phone on the couch.

    Amirah’s Pov
    I was at the Ceremony for Ariel’s funeral, the funeral was as fake as her mother, they only came to comfort Elenora, they knew nothing about Ariel they were comforting a witch who wanted nothing to do with her daughter.

    The ceremony ended as everyone were busy chatting while some who actually cared cried especially an old lady, I waited a few minutes.

    “I loved my daughter so much I can’t believe who would be so heartless to cause her so much pain.” she sobbed and shed her crocodile tears I snapped pulling out my gun.

    I walk up to her with the gun by my side she didn’t notice because she was busy faking her tears, I pointed the gun over her head holding on to the riffle.

    Her eyes danced in fear and I could hear her heart beat as she tensed up those who were chatting with her gasped and moved back.

    “Please don’t kill me.. ” she stuttered in fear.

    “You were busy showing how loud your mouth is but you can’t speak because a gun is pointed at your head.” a tear slides down my cheek as she stammered in fear.

    “What do you want from me? “

    “You don’t even remember me Elenora you witch, you left Ariel all alone when she needed a mother, you left her to die not caring if she was your daughter, you all left her to die and now you claim the money that was supposed to fund for her surgery you disgust me.” she shook in fear.
    “Please take the money if that’s what you want.” I held tightly to the riffle as her speaking seemed to disgust me more she couldn’t even apologize.

    “I don’t want your money, that won’t bring Ariel back will it?? It won’t replace the feelings of rejection Ariel got from you, it won’t replace the feelings of loneliness.” I said pushing the gun to her forehead while I stood in front of her.

    “Please I’m begging you don’t kill me.” she pleaded, my thoughts were polluted with anger.

    “don’t worry we’ll both go to hell together.” I said about to shoot but someone knocked the gun away from from my grasp, I turned to see Alec.

    “Amirah what is wrong with you? ” he asked.

    “She’s the reason why Ariel was in that damn hospital, she deserves to die.” I yelled.

    “She didn’t bomb the hospital did she?? She didn’t kill Ariel and you know it you’re just looking for an excuse to share your guilt, you don’t have to do this.” he said calmly while I looked around everyone scared, I looked back at Elenora she was also in tears.

    “I’m sorry….” I said falling down on my knees, Alec ran over to me pulling me back on my feet, he hugged me as I sobbed loudly on his shoulder.

    “I’m right here Dorothy.. ” he said patting me on my back as I sniffled loudly, he quietly took me out as I tried drying up my tears.
    “I killed her Alec and now I wanna kill someone else.” I sobbed.

    “You didn’t kill anyone, you’re just hurt.” he said as I sobbed quietly.
    We both got on his car as he drove me to Hunters place.

    “How are you doing? ” he asked.
    “I’m fine, how did you know where I was, I thought you said you were no longer in New York.” he first froze then caught up his breath.

    “I missed you, I decided to see you and took the next flight to New York and I knew you were going to do something stupid so I went to your apartment and found a tablet and watch the video that sent you on a man hunt what were you thinking? ” he said as I sighed.

    “I’m sorry.. ” I stated.

    “You could have gotten arrested Amirah, I know she wasn’t the best kind of mother but you can’t kill someone you’ll end up in jail.” he half yelled.

    “And why the fuck do you care?? I wanted to shoot myself after I killed her anyways you wouldn’t understand because you never lost someone you love.” I yelled, I hate my tears rolled down my cheeks when I was upset I felt weak.

    “You’re right I would never understand.” he stopped the car at Hunter’s place.

    “Thanks for stopping me earlier , but right now I don’t want you close to me just do me a favor and stay away from me you’d be doing yourself a favor.”

    I got out of the car, Hunter was standing not too far away.
    I went past him as he followed behind and shut the door.

    I turned to face him.

    “I’m only staying because Alec can’t come in here I’ll leave in the morning.” he gripped tightly pulling me back him.

    He took out his gun and handed it over to me.

    “if you really want me to stay away from you and part ways I want you to shoot me Amirah, then I can no longer pressure you anymore I’ll be dead to you literally.” he took two steps back while I pointed the gun at him, the gun fell from my grasp I couldn’t kill him.

    “I don’t want to kill you.” I said.
    “But you don’t mind staying away from me from the
     rest of your life.” he retorted.

    “That’s different, I’m trying to protect you.”

    “And pushing me away and facing everything everything on your own you’re just hurting yourself the more.” he said.

    “Because of me they killed Avery and Ariel Hunter why can’t you understand.”

    “What do you want me to understand Amirah.” he yelled like he’s almost giving up.

    “I don’t want to loose you too, anyone that walks into my life or who is part of my life they just leave if I stay by your side they will take you too.” I said before I realized it I just poured how I really felt.

    Hunter chuckled to himself moving closer to me.

    “You won’t loose me Amirah no matter what happens dangerous or not I’ll be right here after everything you’ve been through I’ll be right here for you to lean on, I won’t force you to stay and you can’t force me to stay away from you so what will it be will you go back with me.” he said peeking in through my soul.
    “Ariel was my only reason to live, What else can I live for? “

    “Let me be one of the reasons to live.”
    .
    Hunter’s Pov
    .
    Amirah finally agreed to go back with me to Nashville.

    I was in my room going through some documents until I heard a light knock on the door.

    I open it to see Amirah.

    “I can’t sleep can I sleep in your room? ” she asked.

    “Why? ” I asked.

    “You know what just forget it.” she spat.

    “Fine, just let me just make it comfortable so you can sleep then I’ll leave.” I said as she shook her head.

    “I don’t want to sleep alone.” she said nervously fiddling with her fingers “I want to sleep with you.” she mummered.


    Alec’s Pov
    “You said you wouldn’t kill the little girl I left New York and the next thing I know you bomb the hospital.” I spat furiously.

    “I didn’t bomb the Hospital Alec, I didn’t even plan to kill the little girl.”

    “And I should believe you, you sent her a gun to kill the girls mother.” I hissed.

    “I did but unfortunately you ruined the plan besides I didn’t think she could do it she’s not as brave as Norah.”

    “So if you didn’t bomb the hospital who did? ” I asked as he smiled.

    “probably someone who Is interested in her why are you suddenly overprotective of Amirah? ” he smirked as I froze.

    “Falling sick in love with her right? ” he asked.

    “I’m not interested in her, you already killed her sister, you promise you wouldn’t kill Amirah I’m keeping to the deal.” I said.

    “I’m keeping to my deal so you don’t need to worry.” he said.

    “If I find out you killed that little girl you’ll be sorry.”

    To be continued.

    Present
    ” drop your guns or I kill her ” I threatened as I placed the knife nearer to her neck

    ” don’t listen to ” she couldn’t complete her sentence before she started coughing out blood.

    ” what did you do to me ” she fought hard to ask .

    ” I’m sorry love ” I said as I pushed her to one of the guys holding the gun.

    I threw the knife to another and it got stuck in his head.

    The remaining guys started shooting sporadically but I was swift to take cover in the spot where the guy I killed was.

    I took his gun shot two out of the guys while the rest quickly took cover.

    Sophia’s cough has increased drastically as blood was already oozing from her mouth and nose.

    Seeing this, I quickly press a button on my shoe and gas emanated from it filling the room, I inserted my hand into my trouser’s rear pocket get my handkerchief but couldn’t find it.

    My antidote was lost, and the gas released will swiftly aid the manifestation of the poison in my system.

    I quickly ran out the same way I came in, got on my bike and sped out of the building as the gate was wildly opened.

    I haven’t covered a long distance when I saw three black range Rover cars at my back through the rear mirror.

    I increased my speed and the handlers of the cars also did to theirs.

    The poison was already reacting in my body, I was doomed to die soon if I don’t get to the antidote quickly.

    The road was free, there was no vehicle on the road except ours.
    They were gaining on me, and I couldn’t ride faster again, I was trying to breath slowly and focus my attentions on a face which I’ve held unto since a long time ago in order to reduce the pace at which the poison was taking over my system.

    Through my rear mirror I suddenly saw some guys brought out gun from the windows of the cars aiming at me.

    I quickly swerve to another road which intercepted the one I was riding through.

    The screeching of their car’s tyre was easily heard by me as they stepped on their brake and reversed to keep on the pursuit.

    That wasn’t the first time I was entangled in a hot pursuit situation, so I’d enough experience to take them down, but that was my first time of being affected with poison and getting myself entangled in a pursuit.
    The road I took was a narrow one ,making it impossible for two cars to thread it side by side.

    I pressed a button on my bike and some things like tiny marbles fell from it , the cars taking the leading position in the pursuit stepped on it and booms, the marbles exploded, propelling the car up ,the other pursuant were fast enough to pass under it before it came down with a loud crash.

    I let out a forced smile but it was cut short when a hit a dead end.
    The road was blocked, because of an ongoing construction happening in the next street.

    I increased my speed as I hit the weak woods that was used to block the road, I almost got caught up by one of the heavy truck used in constructing the road, I quickly swerved left driving through the midst of the engineers working on the road as they all propelled themselves to different directions to save themselves.

    I suddenly heard a crashing sound, I looked back and saw the heavy truck I averted crushing one of the cars, it was the last car at the back, the first one was able to escape it but the last one got unlucky.

    It wasn’t easy for me to ride my bike on the ground filled with granites.

    My speed reduced but reverse was the case for the car, it overtook me and slowed down to be at the same level with me, a guy having on a dark glasses brought out an ak49 and aimed it at me I swiftly stepped on my break as he shot the gun which made him miss me.

    I turned my bike,wrapped my hand firmly on its clutch as I whirled it as I propelled the bike forward with force as I raised the upper part of the bike up and rode on the rear tyre.

    I hit all the road block sign which were still standing as I dashed out of the area with speed.

    The car couldn’t speed much because it could only pursue me in a reverse mode, it was impossible to turn the car.

    When I was about to get to the side where the accident occurred, I positioned my bike to be able to pass through the little space secluded out.

    I jumped down from it as I quickly climbed the heavy truck, jumped on the crushed car, and gymnast myself on my bike which just made it out through the little space.

    I smiled as I saw the workers rushing to get hold of the last car standing but it couldn’t make it out because of the truck that barricade the road.

    I coughed intensely as made my way back to the university in order to quickly get my hand on the antidote.

    It wasn’t easy for me as blood has started dropping bit by bit out from my nose.

    I rode with immense speed as I was losing it little by little.
    My vision was getting affected by the poison and my breathing was becoming ragged.

    I horned impatiently as I got to the entrance of the school gate, one of the security took a peep at me and I forced out a smile in order to hide my pain.

    I quickly wiped out traces of blood from my nose with my shirt.
    ” clarification ” the security screamed.

    Right, he wasn’t there when I came in the morning and when I left earlier on the bike.

    That’s when I noticed that all the faces there were different from the ones I saw earlier.

    ” clarification ” the security screamed again as I seemed to stayed on my bike unbudgingly.
    I forgot to take my ID card with me, a custom I haven’t been used to.

    ” I’m a lecturer here ” I tried to scream but found out the words was barely leaving my mouth.

    The urge to cough was growing violently in me, I knew a good amount of blood was also going to flow out of my mouth if I did, reducing my chances of survival.

    I was sweating profusely as I battled for survival inwardly while I think of how I was going to prove my status to the securities.

    I heard the sound of a car speeding towards me, I turned my head and I was surprised to see a black range Rover car heading towards me.

    Theme: Death is not an option

    Moran stylishly cat walked to where Dante Orlando Orleans was sitting in a secluded area in the hall talking to a young man of about 25 years.

    When she was about to pass their table she pretended to trip and fall, gaining the attention of the two men.

    Dante being a chronic womanizer and a sucker for heels, couldn’t take eyes off the falling lady.

    He quickly got up and helped her up.

    The instant he looked at her, he knew she was going nowhere.. ‘The hell? Let a pretty woman go?
    No way!!!

    Since he couldn’t get an escorts tonight, there’s no harm in taking this one.
    “Thank you”. Moran mouthed taking his hand.

    She stylishly dusted nothing of her bossom making Dante’s eyes trail to her boobs.

    “Are you alone? “. Dante asked with a charming smile.

    “Uhm yeah “. She answered.

    “I’m Dante Orleans, the heir to the Orleans limited, my father owns this place, do you mind joining me and my friends so I can get to know more about your elegant self? “

    ‘So much for just an intro ‘ Moran thought dryly before answering.
    “Sure uh I’m Kimberly Wilson “.

    ” Kimberly, wow such a beautiful name for a damsel.. Please come with me ” he said placing his hands on her waist before walking her to the table…

    “This is Mark, my business partner “. He introduced drawing out a chair for her.

    “Mark, this is Kimberly “
    “Hi” she greeted with a coy smile.

    “Hi pretty “. He replied with his Mexican ascent a small smile tugging at his lips.

    “Uhm Kimberly, would you mind hanging on a bit, let me round things up with Mark here , then we could talk privately? “. Dante asked beckoning at a waiter.

    “Of course not, you can talk no problem “. She answered looking at the so called ‘waiter’ who was approaching them.

    Justin who was dressed as a waiter was seething angrily as he watched Dante eye f**king Moran. He almost punched the stupid pr*k when he reached the table.
    He handed Moran a glass of juice, then he gave Mark whiskey, and finally he gave Dante the Mo’f**ker a glass of spiked white wine.

    “So Mark as I was saying “. Dante resumed after the waiter had walked on.

    “You’ll have to increase the pay, even if its just by one percent coz the step we’re taking now is shakier than the one we took before “

    Moran, hearing this quickly pressed a button on the watch she was wearing, Susan said it was a voice recorder.. She glanced at Mark the young blonde Mexican and wondered ‘why would he be involved in such stink’. He looked so young and agile and quite good looking too.

    “The bosses are the one’s to make that decision not me”. Mark replied.

    “That’s why you should make them accept it, I don’t know them and they don’t allow us to meet them in person, else I would have explained things to them myself “. Dante urged sipping his wine.

    “Okay, I’ll try to talk to them”.

    “Good good Mark, thanks “
    “Would that be all? “. Mark asked.

    “Yes, when is our next meeting? “

    “In three days, I’ll send you the address in a few”

    “Alright then Mark, it’s nice doing business with you “

    “No no no, it’s nice doing business with the bosses “. Mark corrected.
    “Yeah the bosses “. Dante answered and they both laughed.
    “I’ll see you then “. Mark said and they shook hands before he got up.

    “Miss, have a good evening and a wonderful night with my good friend here”. He added with a nod and left, disappearing into the crowd.

    “So Kimberly, are you from around here? ” Dante inquired slowly marking all her sexy features with his eyes.

    “Uh actually I’m from Austin “. She replied.

    “Really?? Did you follow someone here? “. He asked because he didn’t remember inviting anyone that looks like her here.

    “No.. Actually I came here for business, I finished this afternoon, since I was bored alone in my room, I decided to attend the party, one attendant informed me about it “. She explained.

    “Oh, so what do you do? “

    “I’m an interior designer “

    “No wonder you look so dashing “. He complimented and she laughed.

    “So only interior designers look dashing? “

    “No but they have a different kind of aura. “

    “Hmm”

    “So you mentioned something about being bored? “. He asked eyeing her sheepishly.

    “Yeah I’m as bored as fuck”. She replied coyly.

    “Uh I could help you with that you know ” he whispered loudly tracing circles on her thighs upward.

    “Really? ” she breathed out with a smirk on her face but inside she wanted to smack his face…

    “Yeah, let’s go to my suite and you’ll have the fun of your life “. He said close to her ear and pecked her cheeks.

    “Come”. He said taking her hand.
    “Okay “. She mouthed.

    “But what about the party? “. She asked innocently.

    “Oh fuck the party “. He drawled.
    He was beginning to feel drowsy and he was only managing to stand.

    “Are you alright? ” she asked pretending not to know what was happening to him.

    “Yeah, I think it’s the wine”. He answered and led her out of the hall..

    **********
    “Susan are you there? “. Erika called from above..

    “Yeah, take the right “. Susan answered.

    “Now take left, then go straight ahead “. She explained.

    “Continue going straight, then take left and left again and finally right “

    “Yeah I’m almost in ” Erika beamed excitedly and opened the frame.

    “Be careful, it might be dangerous in there “. Susan warned as Erika jumped in.

    “My my Suzy this place smells money ” Erika drawled scanning the suite
    It housed a set of mahogany couches, mahogany wood designs, expensive looking antiques and onate looking glass pieces.

    “Yeah, dirty money “

    “Be careful Erika, it might be trapped “. Susan warned again.
    “It’s okay,, I will “. She answered placing her hands on the wall, but surprisingly it duged in, the area sank further into the wall.

    Almost immediately red lights started flicking, few seconds later all the traps shone clearly.

    “What’s wrong? “. Susan asked.

    “Lasers!!,,,, frigging Lasers!! “. She exclaimed…

    *********
    Sawyer took the elevator to the highest and final floor of the building, most of the rooms on the floor were meant for official use only so it was kinda deserted coz most of the workers were doing one thing or the other.

    He was dressed in all black , a black bag hung on his shoulder and he held an oxygen mask.
    He scuttled down to the last door where a bold OUT OF BOUND SECURITY ONLY was written.

    He looked around for the umpteenth time before opening the bag and brought out a small round bottle that looked like a perfume container, then he carefully wore the mask before knocking on the door.

    Shortly after the door opened revealing a stout man, who should be in his late forties.

    Before the man could throw any questions at him, he sprayed the content of the bottle on the mans face, then he pushed him inside and entered.

    “Who are you? ” one of the men inside the room thundered when he saw the intruder.

    Sawyer quietly brought out more of the bottles and opened them, releasing the gases in them..

    The five men in the room started laughing the moment they inhaled the gas including the first man who was almost unconscious…

    “Who… are.. you… and… what .. do you want? “. Another one asked admist serious laughter.

    He just ignored them and locked the door before going to sit in front of the numerous screens, showing the movement of everybody from the security cameras in the building..

    “You.. Can’t.. Touch.. That “. One of the men said to him when he started typing something on the keyboard, but almost immediately he said that he passed out.

    Sawyer glanced at the men who were now lying half dead on the ground..

    “Punks”. He muttered before turning back to the computer.
    “Now let’s see what we can get”….

    The warrior head was sitted outside his hut smoking his pipe, Aguyi sat beside him with pleading eyes. Warrior head seemed not to care or interested in whatever Aguyi was saying.


    Aguyi: You don’t seem to care what I am saying, you are not even listening to me.


    Warrior Head: Aguyi. I am listening, but like you already observed, I don’t care.


    Aguyi: But how can you not care? I just told you that I needed my reward from serving this land. Before we became warriors we were promised a handsome reward upon death or retirement, but all these years no one has bothered to ask ask how I take care of myself and my family, no one is even speaking of the reward. Please I really need this money and reward. My family needs it.


    Warrior Head: But I just told you I don’t care.


    Aguyi: and I ask how can you not care? This is my right, my entitlement, I am not begging for assistance, I am only asking for what is rightfully mine, how can you not care.


    Warrior Head: (standing up) Aguyi, I am a very busy man, I have somewhere I want to go to so please leave.


    Aguyi: I don’t understand you at all. Arevyiu seizing my money and my reward? Because I honestly don’t get you.


    Warrior Head: How can I seize your reward? Am I the igwe that gives reward? Don’t you know his palace? Why are you bothering me?


    Aguyi: But Okinji’s wife got paid barely two months after his death, Agoba got paid last week after his retirement two months ago, how come no one is talking about me, you that retired last week the igwe has paid you, for me its been 9years already, 9years, how come no one remembers Aguyi, or talks about his own money? What is going on?


    Warrior Head: Aguyi I am not the igwe, take your questions to the igwe, don’t come and bother me here. Am I the one owing you? What kind of problem is this?


    Aguyi: You and I know I have no business with the igwe, however I will go to him as you have asked. (He turns to leave)


    Warrior head: Bia, wait for me, let’s go together, I have business with the igwe too.


    (Aguyi waited for a while for him to lock his door and together they went to the igwe’s palace, when they got there, the entire palace was in disarray, Igwe was sifted with one hand on his jaw thinking)


    Warrior Head: igweeeeeeee (they both bowed in salutation) igwe I hope all is well. This one you sat like this!


    Aguyi: Yes igwe, I hope all is well.


    King AZAZA: All is well my warriors, its just this stupid girl I brought to my palace. I wanted to take her as a wife and she refused, and just a little discipline I gave to her, she is already dying.


    Aguyi: How do you mean she is already dying igwe?


    King AZAZA: they said she fell and hit her head and the head got infected. We have carried our finest healer and yet she hasn’t improved.


    Warrior head: And you are worried?


    King AZAZA: Not really, am not really worried, its just something Nnamdi said, that of she dies, the kingdom will rise up against me.


    Warrior head: hahahahaha, who dares rise up against the great AZAZA, nobody can do tha.


    Aguyi: Igwe, nobody can rise up against you but the people will not be happy with you and some of them might begin to plan evil against you.
    King AZAZA: That does not bother me at all, but I wish she wouldn’t die because I do not want to have any feud with my son.


    Aguyi: igwe, my youngest daughter is a healer, I have seen her cure so many strange illness, I believe if she attends to this girl, she might just get well.


    King AZAZA: really, send for her immediately!


    Aguyi: I will do that sir. Meanwhile, the reason I came to see you is because of my reward and benefit from serving as a warrior in this land.


    The king looked at Aguyi for a while before finally speaking.


    King AZAZA: Aguyi, I thought the warrior head had already explained to you everything. But since he didnt let me be the one to tell you. You were given an assignment years ago to kill the princess of EKEH, you performed your duty and then by yourself you resigned from being a warrior, I don’t know if its because of guilt or anything but you resigned. And by that you lost all right to your reward. So you won’t be getting anything at all.


    Aguyi: Igwe, I have served this land for a long time, I have fought battles for the land, I resigned because the thought of killing that innocent child hunted me. If for that I will not be given the reward I duely deserve, then I leave you for the gods.
    King AZAZA got angry and stood up.


    King AZAZA: are you causing me?


    Aguyi: Igwe, I have not caused you, I won’t dare.


    King AZAZA: in that case mind your words. Now get out of my palace. Get out.


    Aguyi smiled, took a bow and walked out of the palace.

    …..”What an insult!” Exclaimed Mrs. Williams as she angrily walked out of the Car and barged into her house. Chief Williams, still quiet walked passed her and sat down on the couch

    ”Why are you sitting down there saying nothing eeh!! After the hell of insults you and I received today.” Mrs. Williams yelled at her husband. On hearing the noise, Natasha rushed out

    ”Madam, is there any problem?” She politely and caringly asked

    ”Get out of my sight you slot!” Mrs. Williams barked at her and she bent down a bit and left but often looking back

    ”Chief, do something!” Mrs. Williams said to her husband

    ”You told me you are the one to be chosen but see what just happened back there.. Nonsense. Sit there and keep on drinking while others take over your post. Weakling!” She concluded and walked up the stair case in anger

    ”Natasha!!” She called as she walked up

    ”Get me a glass of red wine” She ordered not allowing Natasha to reply. Chief Williams was left alone in the parlour as he swinged his walking stick up and down, severally hitting it on the floor.

    ”Chief Ali!! Chief Ali!!” He called with a low voice on a smiling face

    ”You have touched the tiger by the tail” He concluded and picked up his phone to make a call.

    ”Don’t bother calling, I’m already here” The Voice of Spartacus startled Chief Williams

    ”What the hell…” Chief Williams exclaimed in shock

    ”You Devil.. How did you know I am about calling you” Chief Williams asked

    ”A man whose house is on fire only seek ways to quench it and not play cards” Spartacus spoke in parables

    ”And what does that mean?” Chief Williams asked Spartacus

    ”I don’t have much time to waste here Chief” Spartacus said folding his hands in front

    ”Now this time, what did you do to my boys?” Chief Williams asked

    ”Nothing at all.. No one saw me come in here” Spartacus said and Chief was more shocked

    ”Even my gate man?” He asked

    ”I see you wanted me here for an interview.. Good day Chief” Spartacus said and tried leaving

    ”No.. No.. No.. Please hold on” Chief said drawing back the attention of Spartacus

    ”Someone is interferring in my game. He wants to throw the Kings card. He wants to wine and dine in the den of Lions” Chief Williams said

    ”I need you to delete him” Chief Williams continued looking directly at the face of Spartacus

    ”1 Million dollars” Spartacus said standing still

    ”What?? I Million what?!” Chief Williams exclaimed at the payment Spartacus said

    ”Please, it’s too much, I will give you 500,000 dollars” Chief Williams contemplated with the payment

    ”Then go and do it yourself” Spartacus said and left

    ”Go to hell you buffon! Gosh, 1 Million dollars, for what?” Chief Williams asked himself and sat back on the couch. Immediately, he called Prof. Michael..

    *

    ”Ahmed.. Ahmed..” Cynthia’s voice called out as she walked towards the gate

    ”Yes Madam” Ahmed answered and ran out to meet her

    ”Please, can you help me get something outside, I can’t walk out in this sun” She said

    ”Na em you dey beg Madam, I go do am madam” Ahmed said and Cynthia smiled

    ”Here..” She said handing over some money to him

    ”A bottle of water, the one’s inside are finished.. Please hurry” She said

    ”Yes Madam” Ahmed said bowing down and rushed out.

    Few seconds after Ahmed left, Bella, Cynthia’s friend walked in

    ”Hey Babe.. How far nah” Bella shouted with a smiling face as she ran to hug Cynthia..

    ”Girl, I dey ooh” Cynthia replied

    ”You are really enjoying” Bella said looking around

    ”All these things just for you alone to enjoy” Bella added

    ”Stop that jhoor.. It’s God my dear” Cynthia said

    ”What about your parents?” Bella asked

    ”They travelled and won’t be coming back soon” Cynthia said and Bella smiled broadly

    ”This house won’t contain me ooh” Bella said happily and ran in. Cynthia followed her, laughing at her funny behaviour and movement..

    ”Professor, I don’t think you are understanding what I am saying” Chief Williams who sat opposite Prof. Michael said as Prof. Michael starred at him

    ”I said I need another Assassin” Chief Williams said

    ”Why?” Prof. Michael asked

    ”He charges a lot.. Not that I can’t afford it but he is too greedy. 1 Million dollars for just one person” Chief Williams said and hissed

    ”You better pay that money and save yourself the stress. Mind you, Chief Ali might also be planning against your life, so he is doing two jobs. These weaklings you call thugs can’t protect you” Prof. Michael said and Chief Williams saw sense in what he was saying and they both starred at each other..

    ”You better start calling him, the earlier the better” Prof. Michael said

    ”Only Fools risks their lives quest of protecting their money” The Voice of Spartacus sounded again from the door and Chief Williams dropped the phone he already placed on his ears. Prof. Michael smiled at him…

    *********

    ….”Better tell me you brought me a wizard as an assassin” Chief Williams said looking at Prof. Michael who was still smiling

    ”I will pay you the money but you’ll also have to protect me from his own attacks” Chief Williams bargained with Spartacus

    ”Good deal” Spartacus said and folded his arms

    ”I will make out an accomodation fro you here, you will be following me about till the job is done” Chief Williams added

    ”I ain’t no cheap thug as you think old man. I don’t live in houses neither do I follow people about. All you need is Protection, I will give it to you” Spartacus said with a very slow deep voice

    ”How then can you protect me if you are not close to me” Chief Williams asked

    ”Trust him Chief, I don’t like the way you doubt the prowess of this young man” Prof. Michael said and Chief Williams looked at him but before he could turn to look at Spartacus, he has already left. Turning again to look at Prof. Michael, he saw Prof. Michael already sipping from the wine cup looking relaxed

    ”I don’t know why you feel so relaxed” Chief Williams said to Prof. Michael

    ”Why shouldn’t I.. You better do too” Prof. Michael said and stood up

    ”I need to be on my way now, I have some things to pile up at home” Prof. Michael added and left smiling at Chief Williams.

    ”I pray it works” Chief Williams said and exhaled

    ”Appearing and Disappearing all the time” He added and stood up to walk into his bed room..

    *

    *AT THE PRESIDENT’S RESIDENCE**

    President Donatius was seen walking to and fro his sitting room with a wine cup dressed in an all white robe. Soon enough, he sat down and sipped from the cup.

    ”I have only gone through one tenure and wants to get down?” He asked himself

    ”I couldn’t even beat the 5th in follow up scores” He said to himself again

    ”I don’t want to leave her now.. I will have a second tenure” He added in his mind

    ”I am the leader. I am the President.. I can do anything I wish to secure my second tenure” He added

    ”I will dismiss all contests and base my fact on the crisis that transpired between Chief Ali and Chief Williams..” He continued

    ”I must have a second tenure!” He concluded in his heart and smiled a bit looking at the television..

    *

    **THE DISCO HALL**

    Loud music was heard as the DJ covered everywhere with wonderful songs. Boys and Girls of age were seen at different corners talkin, chatting and laughing. Others were inside dancing. Bella and Cynthia sat on one of the tables sited behind the pool.

    ”I kinda love this place” Cynthia said

    ”I told you, you’ll like it” Bella replied with smiles

    ”But wait ooh, babe, how did you come about knowing this place?” Cynthia asked

    ”Ahhahh.. Campus babes no go relax mind” Bella replied with a question

    ”So this is what you do in school, eeh. Instead of you to study you will be peeping around night clubs” Cynthia joking said and they laughed

    ”Girl, look behind you” Bella said to Cynthia strategically pointing at a guy who has been starring at them since they came

    ”Ignore him dear..” Cynthia said and the boy stood up and walked up towards them

    ”He is coming this way” Bella lowly said

    ”Behave as if you haven’t seen him” Cynthia said and they concentrated on their food

    ”Hey girls, I can see you are having fun” The boy said holding a bottle of beer in his hand

    ”Yea.. As you can see” They both said raising up their heads

    ”Errhhmm.. Hope you don’t mind me joining you” He requested

    ”You can” Bella said already admiring the boy

    ”So, what are your names?” He asked

    ”Bella” Bella said but Cynthia kept quiet

    ”Yours dear” The boy said looking at Cynthia waiting for a reply

    ”I don’t talk to strangers” Cynthia replied and dropped her spoon

    ”Alright.. Sorry dear. But why not you allow me show you I’m not a stranger. Let me make your night glow” The boy said but Cynthia starred at him

    ”Thank you Very Much, but I’m not interested” Cynthia said

    ”Cynthia..” Bella called out

    ”What?” Cynthia asked

    ”Sorry Bros, she is just shy” Bella said to the boy but he stood up and left

    ”You see, you have chased him away” Bella said

    ”And so..;” Cynthia asked

    ”Babe, you need to have fun. Enjoy yourself now your parents are away” Bella said to Cynthia who mopped at her

    ”Stop this your attittude and enjoy” Bella said and just then a guy walked by and Bella followed him

    ”Are you leaving me here?” Cynthia asked

    How to grow your business while you stay at home
    ”Enjoy yourself dear. Don’t bother to wait for me. You can go home” Bella said as she walked up the small stairs with the guy

    ”Gosh!! What nonsense” Cynthia said confused on what to do or what to say. She confusingly picked up her car keys and left the arena..

    Gradually the people began to leave, but some of them waited for the return of Aguyi including Nina and Ajuwe.


    After about 25minutes he eventually returned with his sword filled with blood. He also had with him the finger of the princess with which she wore the royal ring given to her by her father. When the people saw this, some of them wept, some of them murmured, while some of them were glad. At that point, Nina carried the prince who was wailing uncontrollably.


    King AZAZA: I have defended my land, I have defended my people, let it be known round all of the realms that anyone or village who threatens our land will suffer the same fate that EKEH has suffered. Let it be known that king AZAZA will spare no one. Call me any names you wish, ”king AZAZA the merciless. King AZAZA the evil. King AZAZA the wicked. Whatsoever you wish, I still remain your igwe and my word is still law”


    And the crowd chorused ”igweeeeeeeeee”


    Prince Nnamdi who was standing far from the scene shook his head in disbelief, this is not the father he used to know. He wondered what had transformed the king into this ruthless and mean person. Nina and the Prince cried even more as the king spoke and NINA was filled with hatred for him and those that cheered for him.


    Ajuwe managed to take them home.


    Nina : I failed her, I failed my Queen, I failed my princess.


    Ajuwe: you are just a child, you did your best my child, its not your fault.


    Nina: I made a promise to my queen right before my igwe, I promised to take care of them. And now she is dead, my princess is dead. ( she started crying again. And after a while she called out to the prince.) My Prince, come here, listen I promise you from this day, that I will die first before I let any harm come to you. I promise you. I will return you back to our land and you will avenge all these deaths, I promise you.


    Ajuwe interrupted her and stopped her from talking more.


    Ajuwe: Firstly Nina my child, we can’t keep calling him Prince, because it will raise suspicions. and so from today you have to rename him.


    Nina kept quiet and thought for a while before answering, he turned to the Prince and spoke to him eyeball to eyeball.


    Nina: My Prince, listen carefully, there are people out there who are determined to kill us all as long as they know we are from EKEH. So for that reason, I will no longer be calling you my Prince, from this moment, I will call you IKENNA. It doesn’t mean that you are no longer the prince, do you understand?


    IKENNA: Yes Nina.


    Nina: Also, do not tell anyone that we are from EKEH, you must keep that to yourself. Do you understand me?


    IKENNA: But what do I tell them if they ask?
    Nina became quiet, but Ajuwe quickly replied the Prince.


    Ajuwe: Tell them you are my sisters children, you and Nina, and that you are from AKATOR village. Do you understand?


    IKENNA: Yes I do!


    Ajuwe: you must not talk about your parents or the princess to anyone, do you understand?


    IKENNA: Yes I do.


    Nina: EKEH will get her revenge and one day we will return to our land and possess that which is truly ours.
