Act Of Faith - Season 2 - Episode 6

Title: Tragedy.
AS NARRATED BY DARLINGTON
IT is the seventh bottle, what a nice way to start your day. I stared at the bottles of alcoholic drinks which I had bought from the local market about two days before today, sorry, I actually bought 20 bottles, drank some the previous day. I live alone in a wild and dangerous jungle, I dont actually live alone, I live with my friends, brothers and enemies, the wild animals of the jungle. I love the wild cats and the wild dogs, but I hate those wolves. I fight them almost everyday. I live in a hut in the jungle, hey I didn’t build the hut, my master built it, master Okwe, may his soul rest in peace. You might be wondering how a guy like me living alone in the jungle is able to purchase 20 bottles of alcoholic drinks, its not a hard thing , i steal money from the local market and buy from the local market. I took into drinking after master okwe died, I drink in memory of him. Master Okwe is the man I grew up to know as my father, he told me my parents died in a car accident and I had been displaced into his jungle. He use to be a karate fighter whose life got useless due to excessive drinking, I dont pray to be like him because am already like him, I live a useless life, a more useless life like that of master Okwe, he is a god in drinking. One good thing he did for me was that he taught some principles of martial art, thank you master Okwe for that. I am a young guy of 25 years, I spent 25 years of my life in the jungle drinking and fighting wolves, I live by stealing from the local market just a stone throw from the jungle, a skill I learnt from master Okwe, thanks master, you made me useless. I get my meat from the wolves I kill, there is no other source of meat for me. I have a small dirty stream behind my hut beside my small farm, at least I gat to eat. ” woooooooow” they are here, the wolves, my friends.

I stared at the mirror for the fifth time, I was looking horrible in my long British suit. I had moved away from the jungle of Newriton to a one room apartment provided for me by sir Ajan. It isn’t a well furnished room but manageable , it has a toilet and kitchen with food supplied from Newriton. One good thing about this is that, I would be the first student going on a mission without completing your six years training course, I think that is record breaking. I stared at the picture of Christiana and took a shot of it with my phone. A phone given to me in Newriton, I alone have access to the phone. I dipped it into my pocket and stared at myself one more time in the mirror, the cloth was still looking horrible on me. I opened my small drawer and brought out my small pistol, I secured somewhere in my trouser. I walked towards the door to make sure I left nothing, I then went out to the open deserted area. ” Hey Tonia” I heard the voice from the tiny earpiece in my ear, ” Gwen” I replied, Gwen is the name of our computer operator at Newriton, I heard the previous one was a betrayal, I heard , I dont know. ” Just spotted your target , she is at the local airport, a twenty minutes ride east of where you are” she told me while I nodded, ” Copied” I smiled as I jumped into the old old school car Sir Ajan big head gave me to use.

The airport wasn’t far from where I was, thank God for the tracker in the car, it gave me the direction to the airport, thanks to Gwen also. ” What is she doing at the airport? ” I asked myself, ” Gwen” I called silently, ” Yes , am still here” She replied. ” What is she doing in the airport?” I asked her, ” Last time I checked, this was your mission, I have brought you to where she is, now do the rest ” She answered and my earpiece got disconnected. ” I hate Newriton” I murmured to myself as I brought out my phone and took one more look at her picture before getting out of the old old school car. The airport was busy and I know it would take me a hell of time trying to fish her out among this crowd but nevertheless, I have to do it or I stand the chance of being sent out of Newriton.

” Hey watch where you are going to ” I heard a guy say as he hit my shoulder, ” You are the one not watching” I said to him angrily and made to move on but he drew me back. ” Hey, bold country girl” He smiled at me, a mischievous smile. ” please leave me alone” I begged, I know fighting them might bring an end to my mission, ” No, we dont leave girls alone” I heard another voice from behind , it was another guy, wearing exactly the same shirt as the first guy. ” Am sorry” I apologized , ” Guess what” one of them said to me, ” What?” I asked him, ” I hate apologies” he said and landed me a punch on my mouth, it started bleeding immediately, the second carried me from behind and threw me away backwards, I landed on the floor heavily and my phone fell off my pocket. I tried getting up but received a kick to my side, I fell back to the ground , the kick pushed me and I used that as an opportunity to pick up my phone. ” God what’s this? ” I asked myself as I tried getting up again, one of them came to me and dragged my hair. ” One thing I hate, a guy touching a woman’s hair” I heard a voice from behind, I turned and it was my target, Christiana. She immediately did a flying kick and hit the first one, he fell down heavily, without wasting time she gave a face sweeping kick to the second and he staggered backwards, she went closer and threw a punch which he weaved by bending down, he gave her a return punch to her face. ” Nice counter” she smiled and gave him a double kick which sent him heavily to the ground, ” Sweet” she smiled and walked to me, ” Hope you are fine?” She asked me and I nodded, ” Thank you” I appreciated and she also nodded and walked out towards the exit, almost immediately my earpiece got connected, it wasn’t Gwen’s voice this time , it was Sir Ajan “Does that Make things easier for you? I sent them, the boys” he said , I stared at the boys and I saw one of them smiling as he got up, he adjusted his long sleeve shirt and revealed the mark Newriton on his wrist, I smiled back. ” Thank You” I said, ” Dont thank us, run after your target” the other one said as I immediately ran out towards the exit, ” hey, you didn’t thank me” I heard sir Ajan’s voice from the earpiece, ” Thank you sir , you are the best” I smiled as I came out from the airport, Christiana just boarded a bus, I hopped into my old old school car ready to trail her.
