Must Read: Fighting Back! - Season 1 - Episode 32

Using a leg, he lifted the centre table from it’s
side, moved it, using it to wedge her between
the longest sofa . ‘I am serious Hester.’ His look
was nothing like what she had seen before.
She froze.
‘Dialogue is over, go get her! ‘
Two stepped forward to carry to out the order
but Osagie was before them.

They looked at their boss for further instruction.
‘She is not going anywhere, she is not leaving
this place!’ Osagie meant every word because
he knew once she left, a thousand and one
could happen to her before he find, that is if he
ever did.
‘Please Osaz, please dear, do let me go.’ Her
palms were opened before her. ‘I beg you.’
‘I will be furious if you leave that place, don’t
make me angry.’ He was already angry, angry
that she was distracting and opposing him.
Didn’t she know the implication of going with
them.
Her spirit sank lower.
‘I now see how serious you are.’ His look was
baleful. ‘Unfortunately, I don’t have time. ‘ He
cocked the gun and then the shot.
‘Jesus! ‘ For a split second, her heart beat
stopped and her mind black out.
The sound echoed.
She leapt over the table straight to his side, she
knelt and ease his head to her lap, ‘Jesus Christ!
‘ She screamed with tears rolling down her face.

A look at the bullet wound on the left side of his
chest confirmed her fear …it was not a matter
of ambulance, paramedics, emergency Ward,
major surgery, it had hit a major artery.
Knowledge …she knew it too well but she
wasn’t to give up. She folded her shawl and
place it over the wound.

‘Oh God please …Osaz please, I am sorry …’ she
rocked him as she wept. ‘Oh God please …
please …please …help him …help me …please. ‘
Hester raised him up and sobbed. Her body
knotted in pain.
‘Hess …Hester?’
Her eyes flickered opened, she look down at
him with blurred vision.
He reached up to touch her face and wiped her
tears.
‘Yes dearie …’ Her lips trembled.
‘Take care of y …you.’
‘I will Sweetie, it’s not all about me, it is about
you. Oh Osaz please …’
He touched her lips. ‘I … I love …’ His hand
dropped.
Hester let out a heart piercing scream. ‘No! No
…darling …no! ‘ She wailed heart broken.
‘Go get her.’ He had enough of the emotional
display.

One stepped forward, he hadn’t be touched. He
bent to pull her up. She sent her fist flying and
it landed on his jaw.

He staggered back bent over, when he
eventually lifted his face, they saw blood.
She eased him to the floor, closed his eyes and
placed him in a supine position. She pecked
him on the cheek and her tears fell on his face.
She wiped it off and gave him a final lingering
look.

They watched her and said nothing. Their
leader decided to wait for her.
She went back to her room, one followed,
changed her cloth, gather some of her
important items in a mini suitcase. She wrote a
note for Ethel amidst sobbing, by the time she
was done, the paper was soaked with tears.
When she came out, she stooped beside him to
take a parting memory, he was gone never to
be like before again. One realisation made her
heart glow amidst the darkness that now engulf
her, their PRAYERS.
May you find peace in the b0s0m of our Maker,
she wiped her tears, stood and head for the
door without a word to them.
They followed her immediately.
They had come in two cars. She sat at the back
seat of the leading alongside their leader. The
other followed suit.
