Spartacus went to the training and armour house behind the house. He looked at his building several times as he walked into the room.

“I know you will be very proud and disappointed dad” Spartacus said to himself

“Mum, I really missed you” He added

“Emilia my lovely sister, you were the best” he concluded and began to weaponized himself

***********

BACK INSIDE THE HOUSE

“What are we gonna do” Cynthia asked looking at themselves. Natasha walked around the room they were in

“We will do what we have to do” Natasha said and drew off the bandages in her hands used to hold where she was shot. Before Cynthia and Linda could stop her, she drew it off and threw it on the floor

“What do you think you are doing?” Cynthia asked in shock of what she did

“Are you gonna follow me or are you gonna stay here and ask questions” Natasha said and ran out. Walking back in, she got a big wood and broke the door open. The force at which she hit the door affected her shoulders and she moaned in pain.

“Are you alright” Cynthia and Linda asked at sasme time but Natasha stood up carrying her arm

“I’m fine” She said and moved outside. Three of them ran to the back of the house where Spartacus was earlier on but the room was empty

“Hurry, he is gone” Natasha said

“How can you tell where he is now” Linda asked

“He is somewhere he always likes to start” Natasha said

“Take her away.. Drive carefully, be at alert.. Hit the green button if anything arises” Natasha said looking at Linda

“What about you?” Linda asked

“I have some unfinished business” Natasha said and entered a car.

“We can’t be left out in this, are we?” Cynthia asked looking at Linda

“Are you thinking what I am thinking?” Linda replied with a question and they looked at each other

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

Spartacus stood at the top of an uncompleted building looking up above as tears flowed down his cheek

“You thought I’ll allow do this alone?” Natasha asked from behind

“I told you not to follow me” Spartacus said not looking at her

“And you think it’s that easy.. huh?” Natasha asked and walked closer to him

“We have been in this.. You gave me a reason to live and you think I’ll forget all that” Natasha said and held him from behind. Spartacus fell on her in great unexplainable tears. Natasha lifted up his head and kissed him

“Its time” Natasha said and they walked down the building

CHIEF WILLIAMS RERSIDENCE

The unsecured house of Chief Williams was so quiet; Mrs. Williams was away from home that afternoon. Chief Williams as usual under pressure and confusion was having sex with Amaka his house help. Both of them devoured themselves sexually on the couch in the sitting room as Spartacus and Natasha banged in. In shock, both of them stood up and starred at them

“You?” Chief Willliams asked rhetorically as he saw Natasha

“Can you ever be ashamed of yourself Chief” Natasha asked

“I thought you were….” Chief Williams tried to say but Natasha interrupted

“Dead” She completed the sentence for Chief Williams

“Of course not Chief.. This is me. The new me” She said and they walked inside

“You devil!!” Chief Williams said angrily looking at Spartacus. Amaka who was shaking used her clothes to hold onto her body in fear.

“This was what you used me do..” Natasha said shaking her head

“Please it wasn’t my fault” Chief Williams began to plead as he saw the tone of the music changed

“Yeah, it isn’t your fault, it’s the fault of Life” Natasha said and immediately, Mrs. Williams walked in. Initially she was shocked seeing armed people in her house. She tried running out but Spartacus called her back. As she turned around, she then saw her husband with Amaka her house help.

“What?” she exclaimed forgetting the fear

“Shut up woman” Spartacus barked at her

“Sit down” He ordered her and she sat down looking at them

“Natasha?” she asked as she saw the face of Natasha

“I can’t believe my eyes” She said

“But why are you with a gun.. What is all this about” Mrs. Williams asked unanswered questions. Before she could say anything else, Spartacus corked his gun and shot at the couch where Chief Williams laid

“Please… Please… I beg you, I’ll do anything you want” Chief Williams pleaded and Natasha held Spartacus’ hand and walked closer to them.

“You have been a good guardian Chief” Natasha said

“You taught me a lot” She added and immediately shot at him and Amaka

“Hey!!” Mrs. Williams exclaimed immediately she shot the gun

“Please ooh.. I didn’t do anything bad to you please” She pleaded and Spartacus headed Natasha

“No you didn’t, but you are a parcel of your husband. You say, he acts” Spartacus said and looked at her

“See you in hell” Spartacus said and shot her dead. On hearing the gun shot, Prof. Michael who was almost at the door mouth of Chief Williams rushed in immediately. Seeing Spartacus, he tried turning around to run away but he was shot dead by Natasha. Spartacus and Natasha looked at each other and walked out of the house

Immediately they walked out of Chief Williams house, Spartacus looked around in fear

“What’s that?” Natasha asked noticing his mood

“I fear about something” Spartacus said

“Where is Linda and Cynthia?” Spartacus asked immediately but before Natasha could reply, Spartacus phone rang, he brought it out, gazed at it for a while and placed it on his ear..

“I can see you are becoming too soft, but maybe this will bring back the Spartacus I know” Danga said from the phone as Cynthia screamed in pain

“Don’t hurt her Danga…. Danga!!!” He exclaimed and Danga laughed at him heavily

“You know where to find me” Danga said and hung up the call. Spartacus anger boiled up and he ran out immediately and Natasha followed him.

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

SAME DAY – POLICE HEADQUARTERS

The Commissioner of police ran into his office and grabbed his car keys holding his phone in his ears

“Yes Sir, she was sighted few moments ago” he replied on the phone showing that he was talking with the minister of Defence

“Good!! I’m on my way now.. take all units, no units should be left out.. this must end today” The minister said and the commissioner hung up the call and banged the alarm bell alerting all units for action..

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE

“This must not get past today, today must end this.. I don’t want stories Minister.. Make sure that Cynthia isn’t harmed and that idiot is brought to book” Lady Aisha ordered walking out of her house

**BARRISTER’S OFFICE**

Linda ran into their director’s office immediately panting heavily

“What is it Linda” The director asked her walking out of his chair

“Sir, its time” Linda said as the director held her

“I know it’s hard to do but you have to Sir.. I’m pleading” Linda said breathing heavily

“I have been thinking about this Linda but I can’t stand by the side of a criminal who has a governmental trace” the director said trying to explain to Linda

“But you earlier agreed Sir” Linda said recalling the day she inversely delivered the message of Spartacus to their Director. Just then Stephen walked in

no_a
“Sir, there is news that the assassin has been spotted and the Police and other forces is on him now. He has Cynthia in custody according to the press Sir” Stephen said not minding the presence of Linda

“Alright Barrister, we all shall see in court” The barrister said and started preparing in a Judge attire. Linda stood staring at him with eyes red in tears as she thought that her evidences can’t make any difference in court to free Spartacus. The Director looked at her and Linda slowly left the office followed by Stephen who wondered about the mood of both of them. Linda walked straight to her office and placed her hands on the table with her heads down. Great tears flowed down her cheek.

“It’s all my fault!!” she hit her hand on the table

“I should have taken her on the same car!!”

“How stupid could I be…!” She continued as she packed some things into her bag

LINDA’S RESIDENCE

Dave has stayed for hours waiting up for Linda but hasn’t seen her. It was so unusual to him. He gazed at the time as he sat on the couch. Even her number wasn’t going through. On a second thought, he stood up and grabbed his car keys being more motivated in panic as he heard the news on the television

“I can’t sit here and watch or keep quiet” He said and closed the door. The fast running wheels of his car was heard a loud as he drove out

**IN AN UNKNOWN PLACE FAR AWAY FROM MAIN TOWN**

“I knew you will come” The voice of Danga was heard echoing from nowhere as Spartacus and Natasha walked in to the open isolated area

“Who’s she?” The voice asked as Spartacus looked around to figure out where the sound was coming from

“She has nothing to do here, leave her out of this” Spartacus said

“Haahaha.. You brought her here not me” The voice said laughing aloud

“Stay back Natasha” Spartacus said looking at Natasha who hugged him and walked slowly away from the arena

“It’s just me now Dragon, show yourself” Spartacus said and Danga jumped down from a bit high ground

“Welcome to my abode Daniel” Danga said

“Let her go” Spartacus said as his eyes got red

“You mean her?” Danga said as Spartacus saw Cynthia tied upside down in a very high place

“Cynthia.. No!!” Spartacus exclaimed

“Dragon, let her go, this is between you and I” Spartacus still looking at Cynthia who doesn’t look alive to him

“Not yet Daniel” Danga said and Spartacus looked at him with more anger

“I don’t want to fight with Daniel, I want to fight with Spartacus” Danga said

“You have grown so weak Daniel, your heart is becoming soft and you can’t hurt anyone” Danga said

“Till I see Spartacus, she will be up there” Danga said and walked closer

“I’m warning you Danga” Spartacus said walking closer

“Bring back the spirit Spart!” Danga said with a loud voice and Cynthia’s rope drew low

“Stop this Danga!!” Spartacus said and drew out his sword

“Not yet Spartacus, she’s gonna be dropped into what she can’t survive from” Danga said.

OUTSIDE THE UNKNOWN PLACE

Natasha walked confusedly a bit far away but unknowingly, she bumped into David, Linda’s brother who followed the Police but outran them following the same route they took immediately he saw Linda driving out of their office

“What??.. You?” Dave said

“You?” Natasha said also

“What are you doing here?” Dave asked

“I should be asking you that” Natasha said

“The Police and all sorts of security agents are on their way here” Dave said

“You better leave now” Natasha said

“No, I can’t. Not without you” Dave said

“I am not who you think I am” Natasha said

“What do you mean by that?” Dave asked and Natasha starred at him..

BACK AT THE ISOLATED ARENA

“What are you waiting for Spart? Come on and fight” Danga said laughing

“I don’t want to fight you Dragon” Spartacus said and Danga laughed

“You haven’t returned” Danga said and Cynthia’s rope fell with a great speed

“Bye Bye to Love Spart” Danga said and Spart attacked him angrily

“Yeah, come on Spartacus…” Danga said and drew out his sword and the fight began.

Cynthia fell as she was unconscious, to an extent the rope cut off. Just as she almost fell off eye sight, Dave ran and dived her, with all his power, he held her but the cliff cracked and Dave couldn’t hold on. Before he could give up, Natasha held his feet and managed to drag both of the up. Dave held Cynthia very tight and checked her pulse

“She is alive” Dave said

“We have to take her to the hospital immediately” Dave said

“Go on, I have an unfinished business” Natasha said looking at the fight

“No, you can’t” Dave said

“I told you this is my life and my destiny” Natasha said but before Dave could say anything else, Natasha ran off the hill and Dave ran out with Cynthia as the sound of the rushing police squad was drawing closer

“I can see you called reinforcements” Danga said as he heard the sound of the Police officers

“That wasn’t me” Spartacus said

“Let’s see who will go with them alive” Danga said with both of them not knowing what happened at the hill. As they continued the fight, Danga wounded Spartacus heavily. His body was filled with cuts and blood everywhere. Spartacus lost a lot of blood and his sight blurred. He couldn’t fight effectively anymore

“What’s wrong Spartacus?” Danga asked

“Are you tired? You are so weak Spart” Danga said and cut Spart by the side making Spartacus fall on the ground on the breach of death

“No!!” Natasha exclaimed running fast towards Danga, she shot at Danga but Danga used his sword and hit back the bullet at Natasha

“Nath!” Spartacus cried from the ground

“No!! Not again!” He cried bitterly as Natasha fell lifeless on the ground

“You always loose Spartacus” Danga said and walked towards Natasha looking at her

“You shouldn’t have killed my friend” Spartacus said struggling to stand up with the help of his sword ad Danga looked at him. He walked towards him

“And what will you do about that?” Danga said and tried piercing Spartacus with his sword but Spartacus held it with his two hands. Blood gushed out but he held it firm enough that Danga couldn’t move the sword

“This is for Cynthia!” Spartacus said and twisted the sword and Danga was surprised

“For Natasha!!” He said and broke the sword into two, his eyes turned all bloody red

“For all the evil you have done” Spartacus said hitting him with his elbow

“You want Spartacus? Have him!” He said and pierced his heart with the two broke swords

“Dan…iel…” Danga’s voice broke as he choked to death

“You will never hurt anyone.. Not anymore!!” Spartacus said and ran towards Natasha, he carried her on his arms shaking her vigorously

“Please stay with me” Spartacus said and Natasha slowly opened her eyes

“Da..Daniel” She called out with a low voice and Spartacus stared at her

“I’m here… It’s all over” He said and Natasha’s eyes blinked as she smiled with her mouth filled with blood

“I haven’t been faithful and honest to you.. I think this is the price I have to pay” She said

“Please don’t say that” Spartacus said holding her closer

“I’ll get you out of here” Spartacus said

“No need Spart” She said and Spartacus paused

“My name is Emilia.” She began

“I am your sister” She continued

“That can’t be” Spartacus said

“Yes, I can’t believe it either” She said

“My family died years ago” Spartacus said

“I am surprised myself, I just figured it out recently” Natasha said

“I couldn’t stop the fun I have with you, so I hid it away” Natasha said

“You should have told me” Spartacus said as tears flowed down his cheek

“I’m sorry. Hate me for it” Natasha said and Spartacus dried his tears

“I Love you Spartacus” Natasha said unmasking him

“Never!!” He said and carried her up. Her body weakened and went off as he carried her up showing no sign of life left in her. Spartacus cried greatly kneeling still holding her. Just then the Police and a great squad of armed men led by the Commissioner and Minister arrived. Spartacus dropped Natasha and raised his hands…

”My Lady, placing a Girl in the midst of men like us in an electon haven’t been heard of” Chief Musa said to Lady Aisha who starred at the 6 Men Chief that came visiting her that morning

”My Lady, this will bring disrespect in our women..” Alhaji Muhammed said but Lady Aisha still said nothing as Chief Williams stood up

”My Lady, with all due respect, I won’t sit and watch you change a law that has been kept for a very long time now” Chief Williams said

”And who said it’s a law?” Lady Aisha asked boldly

”Show me where it is stated in the Constitution and I will immediately withdraw my words” Lady Aisha said and Chief Williams sat down in confusion

”Go on.. I’m waiting.. Any of you??” Lady Aisha said with a harsh voice standing up

”If this is all you have to tell me this early Morning, then I think you all have to use the door” Lady Aisha said and walked out

”Before I forget” She said turning around

”I am ready to die, because Friends and Foes are sitted here today.. You are free to Assassinate me just like you all did to my husband, Chief Wilson and the rest” Lady Aisha said

SPARTACUS LAIR

(The Previous Night before Today)

Spartacus laid Natasha comfortably on the bed looking at her as she slept deeply. He touched the bandage in her shoulders

”Thank God I didn’t loose you” Spartacus said

”I couldn’t have forgiven myself” Spartacus said and stood up

”Please wake up by Morning” He said with a low voice, Kissed Natasha on her fore head and left for his room.

NATHASHA’S DREAM

Flashes of bright light severed and constantly shone in her eyes as she walked around a building that seemed familia to her.. She walked up the stairs, hearing the voice of a man and a little girl. She walked closer towards the voice, coming to an open verander

”Emilia.” The man called touching the little girl of about 8 years old. Natasha stood and watched closely

”This represents our family” The Man said pointing at the stars above which Natasha peeped also to see

”That big one is me, followed by your Mother, Your Brother and You, being the smallest one” The Man said and Emilia smiled just then a little boy ran out

”Daddy..” He called out and the man carried him too

”Daniel.. I thought you were sleeping” The Man said and a woman walked out also, looking very beautiful

”Sleep?? Daniel is a cat.. He doesn’t sleep” She said and they all laughed hugging each other very tight..

Natasha watched them smiling with tears rolling down her eyes as she enjoyed the lovely view.. Suddenly, the light flashed in her eyes and she saw herself downstairs at the gate blood everywhere, she was surprised until she heard a voice

”Emilia!! Emilia” She heard the voice of the woman and she saw the man laying in blood.. Some Men were standing with guns shooting

”Dad!! Dad!:” The Little boy ran out immediately

”Daniel.. Run.. Run…” The man shouted with his last strenght, but before the little boy could run away a spark of gun shot hit his face.. He managed to run out through the flowers…

”Emilia.;” The Woman shouted but was shot immediately.. Emilia fell on her and she was shot also.

”It’s alright.. It’s alright” Spartacus said immediately

”I’m here.. I’m here” He said and Natasha opened her eyes

”What happened?” Natasha asked

”Calm down” Spartacus said

”You are alright” Spartacus said and Natasha weakly looked at his face, she lifted her hands and touched the scar in his face recalling the gun shot on the little boy. Spartacus held her hand softly

”How do you feel now?” Spartacus asked

”Better” Natasha said touching the bandage in her hands

”Did we save her?” Natasha asked

”Yes you did” Spartacus said giving all credits to her and she smiled trying to sit up and Spartacus helped her

”Daniel… Emilia….” She said to herself remembering her dream…

CHIEF WILLIAM’S RESIDENCE

”This is Danga known as the Dragon” Prof. Michael said to Chief Williams pointing at a dark man sitting on the couch opposite him with dark glasses in his eyes. Chief Williams looked at him but Danga didn’t move his body

”Is he dumb or what” Chief Williams asked

”He doesn’t talk much” Prof. Michael replied

”I see..;” Chief Williams said

”I don’t have much time to waste” Danga said and Prof. Michael looked at Chief Williams. Chief Williams brought out the picture of Lady Aisha, Cynthia and Spartacus. Danga collected the pictures and looked at them, he slided Lady Aisha’s, Cynthia’s and got to Spartacus own then stood up immediately

”What???!!” He exclaimed

”What is it?” They asked together

”I can’t forget this mask” Danga said to himself

”How did you know him?” Chief Williams asked

”That is nothing to tell about Chief.. How much are you paying” Danga asked

”3 Million dollars.. One Million each” Chief Williams said

”What am I assassinating?? A little kid?” Danga asked

”Give me short of that and I will eliminate the United States President.. Do you know who this masky man is?” Danga asked

”Are you going with 3 Million dollars or not!!” Chief Williams said

”I will take my leave” Danga said and tried to leave but Prof. Michael held him looking at Chief Williams

”Alright.. How much do you need?” Chief Williams asked

”5 Million dollars.. No bargaining” Danga said and Chief Williams exclaimed

”Are we in?” Danga asked

**CONTINUED FROM LAST EPISODE**

…Spartacus ran back in to the Sitting room but couldn’t find Natasha on the couch anymore. The glass cup of water fell off his hand as he slowly walked towards the empty couch..

”Nath.. Nath” Spartacus called out with a bit loud voice.. He searched every part of the house but couldn’t find Nathasha.. His anger boiled but as tears flowed down his cheek..

CYNTHIA’S RESIDENCE

Cynthia walked into her house as Musa opened up the gate for her

”Aarhh.. Madam, thank God say you come back ooh.. I hear say bad thing happen for road today” Musa said immediately Cynthia stepped in and Cynthia looked at him

”Yeah.. Thank God.. As you can see, I’m fine” Cynthia said and kept on walking

”Erhmm.. But Madam” Musa said making Cynthia to stop

”Where is your car?” Musa asked

”Ohh… My Car” Cynthia began thinking of how to cover up

”It had a little problem so I left it with the Mechanic” Cynthia said and just them the sound of the Police Sirene was heard all around the building. A large number of Police Officers trooped in to the compound and Musa fearfully ran into his house. Just then, the commissioner walked in and saw Cynthia

”Thank God you are Ok” He said immediately he saw her

”What’s all this for Commissioner?” Cynthia asked

”The First Lady asked me to check on you and keep you safe due to the earlier curfew that erupted” The Commissioner said

”As you can see, I am fine.. So, thanks for caring” Cynthia said but before she could take a step forward, Lady Aisha barged in immediately and hugged her

”Ooh.. My dear, thank God you are alright” She said with her eyes filled in tears that couldn’t flow out

”Easy My Lady, I’m fine..” Cynthia said and disengaged the hug

”Your eyes are red Ma” Cynthia said looking into her eyes

”It’s nothing my dear.. Just thinking about you” Aisha said and looked at the Commissioner

”Thank you for answering to my call Commissioner, but your job has just began” Aisha said and dismissed the Commissioner

”My Dear…. I was really worried” Aisha began as she walked Cynthia into the house..

SPARTACUS RESIDENCE

Spartacus was really confused as he didn’t know if Natasha walked away due to her Pains or someone broke into the house and stole her away.. He ran up immediately and picked up his gun to run out in search of her although he doesn’t know where she is

”Where are you off to?” Linda asked making Spartacus shocked as he saw Linda sitting in the couch where Natasha laid earlier

”What are you doing here?” Spartacus asked

”What is that gun meant for?” Linda replied with a question but Spartacus didn’t reply her holding tight to the gun

”Well, I guess you have to start with me, because I took Nathasha to the hospital” Linda said and Spartacus rushed her holding he ron the neck

”What??!! You did what??!!” Spartacus barked choking Linda with red eyes

”Linda struggled for breathe hitting Spartacus’ hand but then, Spartacus left her, she started couching endlessly and gasping for air

”Do you know what you just did?” Spartacus asked

”You just sold her out to her death” Spartacus said

”If you want to know, the People after Cynthia are also after her!! Now you have made it so easy!” Spartacus barked hitting the wall

”And you think I am that stupid?” Linda asked with a weak voice and Spartacus looked at her. She stood up and walked towards the door

”Inform me when you want to see Natasha” Linda said and staggeringly walked out. Spartacus called out on her regretting his actions but Linda didn’t reply.

CYNTHIA’S RESIDENCE

”My dear, are you still insisting on not having any Security in this house?” Aisha asked Cynthia as she looked around

”Don’t bother My Lady, I am definitely fine” Cynthia said. Aisha still persisted on it but Cynthia refused giving her False reasons..

****

POLICE HQ

”What the hell do you mean that you didn’t get even one of them!” Commissioner of Police barked harshly, standing besides him was Alhaji Dantata whose anger on the Police and Army was unrated so he tried swallowing it by not talking

”Now, listen to me everyone of you, I give you one week!! One Week!! To get those urchins!! Or else!” Commissioner of Police threatened

”I will make sure I blow your heads off” Alhaji Dantata said completing the threat of the Commissioner and the Units left immediately doubling their patrol, search and activity..

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

CHIEF WILLIAM’S RESIDENCE

”Idiots!!.. Fools!!” Chief Williams barked angrily hitting the tough looking men that stood in front of him

”You mean all of your useless selves couldn’t catch one man and a girl!!” Chief Williams barked further getting really furious

”Sorry Sir, the Police interfered” Sir Whyte Said

”And so what??!” Chief Williams attacked his statement immediately

”And where is Patronizer” Chief Williams asked trying to calm down but no one replied him

”Am I talking to stones!!” Chief Williams barked more angrily

”He and his crew died in the chase Sir” One of the thugs replied and Chief Williams slowly turned around

”What!!” He exclaimed and even Prof. Michael was shocked. Chief Williams sat down immediately and Prof. Michael stood up throwing a briefcase at them

”You all are dismissed” Prof. Michael said and they all left..

Prof. Michael walked to and fro the Sitting room as Chief Williams starred at him because he hasn’t seen him that much worried

”What is it Prof??” Chief Williams asked and Prof. paused his to and fro movement

”I think it’s time to unleash the hidden dragon” Prof. Michael said and Chief Williams looked at him not understanding what he was saying….

LINDA’S RESIDENCE

”How is she Doctor?” Linda asked the doctor who was checking on Natasha

”What did you say happened to her?” The Doctor asked

”She was shot on her way home due to what happened today” Linda replied

”Oh My.. So Sorry..” The Doctor said

”But you should have brought her to the hospital” The Doctor said

”Doctor, I was so confused, but all being the same, hope she is fine” Linda covered up

”Well, the bullet slightly got to her bones, but it’s going to heal with time. Thank God you called on time, she was almost gone” The Doctor said and Linda exhaled as the doctor packed up his bag

”She might sleep for some hours, don’t disturb her” The Doctor said

”Thank you very much Doctor” Linda said and escorted the doctor out. She looked at the doctor till he drove outside the gate.

Just as she walked in, she saw Spartacus sitting on the couch

”Hope Iam not intruding?” Spartacus asked not looking at her. Linda ignored him and walked upstairs. As she got up the stairs, she saw Spartacus in front of her and she shivered but behaved as if she wasn’t

”What are you doing here??” Linda asked

”I thought you never wanted her treated” Linda asked further and side passed Spartacus but Sparatcus held her hand

”I… I…” Spartacus stammered as Linda turned and looked at his Masky face. Spartacus left her hand gently and unmasked his face making Linda see his face the second time

”I.. I.. I..aa.. I am Sorry” Spartacus forcefully voiced out and tears rolled down his eyes as he has never said that word for years. Linda couldn’t bear the tears flowing from his eyes and she unconciously hugged him

no_a
”It’s alright” Linda said and disengaged the hug

”The Scar, what caused it?” Linda asked

”It’s a long story” Spartacus said ans Linda sighed

”She is in the next room” Linda said and Spartacus looked at the door and they walked in

”She is just sleeping, in few hours she will be fine” Linda said but before Spartacus could say anything, the voice of Dave was heard from downstairs fancifully calling on Linda.. Linda looked at the door but before she could look back on the bed where Natasha was laying, she couldn’t find Natasha and Spartacus

”Hmmmm… Not Surprised” She said and shouted happily in reply to Dave’s call…

”There is a rough chase going on at the Abuja main Line Express way.. Everyone out of the way.. Out!!” The News caster exclaimed as choppers flew above the air

”Every vehicle out!! Now!!” The voice echoed from several choppers.. Police car Sirenes were heard all over the Place..

Spartacus drove with a furious speed leaving great dust behind in every corner bending he made..

The Pursuit went on and Whyte and his men saw that they can’t catch up on Spartacus in a straight race, so they separated themselves in three different ways.

**SPARTACUS CAR**

”Ouch!! Arrh!!!” Natasha exclaimed in Pain

”Hang On..;” Spartacus said looking at her and increased his speed

”My God, let’s take her to the hospital” Cynthia said seeing the blood gushing out from her shoulder not evening wanting to know who they are

”We can’t risk that” Spartacus said

”Why??” Cynthia asked

”You’ll die if we do” Spartacus said

”I don’t care who dies or not!! Pull this car over.. She is dying!!!” Cynthia yelled and a chopper missile hit their car lifting the back side up

”Oh My God!!” Cynthia yelled but Spartacus held the Steering very tight

”What was that” Cynthia asked looking back

”That’s what I am talking about” Spartacus said and looked at Natasha..

”Can you drive??” He asked Cynthia

”Yes I can” Cynthia said

”How fast?” Spartacus asked

”I don’t know” Cynthia said but before she could relax on her reply, Spartacus left the steering and carried her to the driver’s seat immediately

”What??” Cynthia asked

”Drive as fast as you can” Spartacus said and placed Natasha’s head on his laps.

Cynthia dragged up the gear immediately and zoomed off.. Bullets from the choppers and Police car hit their car unstoppingly..

”Watch out!!” Spartacus yelled at Cynthia looking forward

”I know” Cynthia said with her heart pounding heavily..

A Police barricade was in front on them and Chief Williams men were in a hot close motion into them from behind. Cynthia pulled Over immediately and rolled the steering vigorously creating a great dust. Just then she dragged the gear backwards reversing the car in an opposit direction

”Heads down!!” She shouted as she bumped on the Police barricade with a great Speed.. The Police officers shot at them with a shout trying to stop them.. Seeing that they won’t stop, they entered their car and joined the chase..

Chief Williams men saw that they can’t continue the chase, so they drew back..

”What the hell did you just do?” Sparatcus asked

”I drove” Cynthia said and drove ahead

”We are close in” Chief Williams men said driving in from their from

”Shoot!!” Patronizer yelled and they shot shattering the front screen of Spartacus car making Cynthia to scream holding the breaks immediately and Spartacus who already has removed the bullet from Natasha’s shoulder tied it up and stood..

”He pulled the seat which Cynthia was seating and the seat laid down making Cynthia to lie down

”What are you doing” Cynthia asked but Spartacus said nothing as the bulletes kept poping in.

Spartacus managed and placed the car on a straight forward automatic drive and he picked up his bazuka gun.. Opened up the roof of the car and exploded the car of Patronizer. He drew back into the car immediately and reversed the steering as not to hit the exploded car

”Oh My God!!!” Cynthia yelled.. Natasha didn’t move her body as she couldn’t feel her strenght..

While standing, Spartacus whinned the steering and drove into a narrow road but the Police kept up the chase… Keeping a steady speed, him and Cynthia exchanged Seat

”On your right in 30 Seconds” Spartacus said with a phone in his ear. Immediately he dropped the call.

”Her breathe is getting low” Cynthia said feeling the pulse of Natasha and Spartacus looked at Natasha not knowing what to said. His heart became heavy remembering the people he has lost since his birth. Tears rolled down his eyes

”You are crying” Cynthia said looking at him

”Open the door on the count of 3” Spartacus said not replying her last statement

”1,2,3….” Spartacus counted and Cynthia hurriedly opened the door. Spartacus sharpenly held the breaks as a black Range Rover sparts car stopped in front of them. The lady in the Range Rover Sports Car opened up the doors and Spartacus carried Natasha into the car.. The Police were gaining on them, but before they got close, they drove off in a hidden area that even the choppers couldn’t find them, then they joined the main express way loosing the chase…

”Everyone.. On deck.. On deck!!” The chopper said and every Police check point and Patrol were all active checking every car strictly

”Don’t let them get away….” The Voice from the chopper said again and everywhere was tight in Security…

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE

First Lady Aisha ran down the stair case with her phone in her hand dailing Cynthia’s number..

”My God!!.. It isn’t going through”

”Sergent!!” She yelled and three Police Officers ran in immediately

”What’s going on?” She asked as her mind wasn’t at rest although she has heard the news

”There is a mad chase Ma.. But the Police are on it Ma” They replied and Aisha dailled the Minister for defence number

”Alhaji… What am I hearing… Make sure you get to the edge of all this!!” Lady Aisha said

”My Lady.. We are..” Alhaji tried to reply but she hung up the call and dailled the Commissioner of Police number

”Mr Commissioner!!:” She called out aith a loud voice

”Shut Up and listen to me” She said before the Commissioner could exchange pleasantries with her

”I don’t care how hard it’s going to be.. But I give you few weeks to stop all this mess in my country!!! Or else!!!” She threatened and the Commissioner stammered in shock on the phone

”And again.. I want you to send a large squad of men to Late Vice President’s house and check on her immediately.. If anything happens to her, you are gone!!” Lady Aisha said and hung up the call immediately

”What are you looking at, you lazy bones!!!!” She yelled at the Officers standing in front of her

” Go out there and do your work!!” She yelled and ran up immediately

”Oh God, please nothing should happen to her” She prayed with a low voice and ran upstairs.. Getting up, she called back the Officers she chased away

”Come here!!” She said

”Get the car ready, we are moving out immediately” She said

”Is it the three of Us Ma” One of the sergents asked

”You Must be stupid to ask me that” Lady Aisha said and they kept quiet

STILL ON THE ROAD

Spartacus car drove on a normal speed with the lady driving the car

”Thank You” Spartacus said but the Lady didn’t reply rather she shook her head not want them to see her face.

Just then they got to a Police check point. The Police waved them down and she slowly pulled the brakes

”Good Day Officers” She greeted the Officers

”Arrhh… Barrister” The Office close to her said

”Sergent.. I heard the news.. Please keep it tight” She said

no_a
”We surely will Ma..” The Officer said

”You can search my car also” She said but the Officer refused

”Hmmm.. Barrister.. You wan sue me to court for tresspassing?” The Officer said and they laughed as she drove out giving them some money and they hailed her.. As they drove past the check point, Spartacus and Cynthia raised their head up.

”Barrister, do I know you?” Cynthia asked

”No you don’t my dear” She replied and Cynthia tried looking at her face but she hid her face from the from mirror..

”Errhhmm.. I don’t know what to say” Cynthia began after a moment of silence

”I really thank you for saving my life” Cynthia added but no one seemed to be listening to her

”If you don’t mind, I will like to know the ones that saved me” Cynthia said

”I reveal myself to people who loves the life they live and not wanting to join the dead” Spartacus said

”What does that mean?” Cynthia asked

”I shouldn’t have done this, I made a mistake doing it because you already have decided to die” Spartacus said not looking at her

”Sorry, but I don’t understand” Cynthia said

”Please be plain in speech” She added and Spartacus removed the facial mask he wore and Cynthia was shocked

”I told you but you didn’t listen, now see what you have caused” Spartacus said pointing at Natasha who laid almost lifeless and Cynthia regretted all she has done

”Can’t we take her to the hospital?” Cynthia asked and the lady driving pulled over at her gate

”Get down” Spartacus said and Cynthia reluctantly alighted from the car not knowing what to say, seeing that some one is dying because of her..

”Don’t you think we should take her to the hospital?” Linda asked as they drove out from Cynthia’s gate

”This is a Casualty that can’t be handled, we can’t” Spartacus said and Linda exhaled understanding what Spartacus was talking about..

**FEW MINUTES LATER**

”I really appreciate” Spartacus said

”Anytime… I think it’s time to turn a new aspect of my Barristership just like you did” Linda said smiling and Spartacus carried Natasha inside. Linda looked at Spartacus, even as Spartacus closed the gate, she still starred at the gate for some minutes before she drove out..

”I’m sorry I failed you” Spartacus said to Natasha laying her on the couch

”I’m sorry you won’t see the smile that will be on my face after all this is done” Spartacus said again and tears rolled down his eyes.. Just then, Natasha coughed weakly opening her eyes a little and Spartacus rushed her

”Spar.. Spar..” Natasha tried to say but she coughed with words hanging in her mouth.. Spartacus rushed to get water for her..

”My Boss wants to speak with you..” Sir whyte said and Bella starred at him

”So sorry if they hurt you my dear” Chief Williams added with caps covering their faces

”What sort of nonsense is this?” Bella ranting her mouth trying to show how embarrasses she was

”It’s alright” Prof. Michael said

THE NEXT DAY – NATIONAL CONFERENCE HALL

A large highly incomprehensive noise was heard all over the place. Chiefs, Senators, Governors and men of great influence in the country were all seen in the Conference hall, Abuja murmuring and talking to each other in an unorganized manner. This lasted for some time but not until Lady Rukayat, the PA to the Late President stood up and made a loud hit on the table

”Please Ladies and Gentlemen, we all are here to tackle a serious matter and not to murmur or fight each other here” Lady Rukayat said

”The matter at hand is so important that it should be handled with great care” She added and the arena became quiet

”I would like us to keep it calm and delibrate on the way forward” She concluded and sat down

”Thank You My Lady” Alhaji Dankaki the Minister for defence said

”Minister, you shouldn’t be saying anything in this meeting and you know that” Chief Godwin interrupted Alhaji Dankaki

”And why should that be?” Alhaji asked

”What have you done since the death of our President. Absolutely nothing..!! It’s been over a month and some days now, but yet no clue about the rascal that has been doing all this let alone taking them behind bars!” Chief Godwin said

”I support you chief” Alhaji Maharaja said still pointing his words at Alhaji Dankaki

”Who knows, the killer might be with us here looking for the next person to kill.. I am no longer comfortable in this country with that killer still lurking around” He said and sat down

”And what do you expect me to do?? Kill myself or begin a juju work to find the killer?” Alhaji Dankaki asked rudely

”My men are into it tirelessly.. Day and Night, they have doubled their working time. They are trying their best and we all know that!” Alhaji Dankaki defended himself

”Well, I think doubling is not enough, triple it or even 5 times better than this.. This is leading us nowhere.. And we all know that we can’t trust anyone anymore till this case is brought to the Supreme court!” Lady Ifeoma added and Alhaji Dankaki ran out of words and sat down not saying anything.

”It’s alright everybody” First Lady Aisha said walking into the conference hall. Immediately, everybody stood up and greeted her. Chief Wlliams was shocked seeing her but he comported himself.

”Good day everyone” Lady Aisha greeted

”The death of my husband shouldn’t bring a cohesion in this place. I knew how united we all were before I left for the United states. Like I heard, others have been dying also before my husband” Lady Aisha began

”We shouldn’t sit here and battle ourselves, the Minister of Defence is doing his best. It is now left for all of Us join him in this plight” She added and looked around

”I am pleased still seeing you all again” She said and sat down

”Greeting my Lady” Everybody echoed

”We should move over to the main matter” Lady Rukayat said

”The Next election is in 3 weeks from now and we can’t give other countries the impression that we have no President, lest they wage war against us.. But on that we can’t commence the election in the Absence of Mr. President and the Vice President. What are we going to do about it” Lady Rukayat threw up the matter and immediately Lady Aisha stood up

”We don’t have to waste much time on this” She said

”According to the Constitution, after the President is his wife. Thank God I am still alive” She said

”The same constitution recommended the children of the President and Vice to take over if they are of age, but as we all know, I couldn’t bear a child for my Husband and that is why I invited Miss Cynthia Wilson” She said and Cynthia walked into the Conference hall to the surprise of Everyone. The Anger of Chief Williams boiled up immediately

”This is total nonsense!! Absolute Nonsense” Chief Williams said immediately with the support of some people

”How can a Lady be part of the election. Not even a well grown Lady but a Girl!!” Chief Williams asked angrily

”Kindly sit down Chief Williams” Lady Aisha said and Cynthia walked up to her

”The Constitution never spoke against women being Leaders, if it did, quote me wrong” Lady Aisha said with a Loud voice and everybody kept quiet

”Now, this is my conclusion with no allowed Objection” Lady Aisha said looked at everybody

no_a
”The Presidential election will hold!! Anyone whow wants to be part of the Presidential election should pass through me and should be ready to compete with Miss Cynthia. This is my word.” Lady Aisha said and walked out with Cynthia

”All Dismissed” Lady Rukayat dismissed the meeting and murmuring began. Angrily, Chief Williams walked out of the meeting hall..

****

”How have you been my dear?” Lady Aisha asked Cynthia as they entered the car in the escort of a large number of armed men

”It hasn’t been easy my Lady” Cynthia replied and they drove out..
