Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 21

The cops had come quickly when the gunmen were shooting sporadically. They were yet to gain access into the house. Tony had locked all the doors around. The gunmen were still shooting, shattering window glasses, with holes all over the fence and some of the guards parked outside.

The assasins had locked the gate from inside so the police couldnt gain access into the compound.

So, some climbed over the fence and into the compound.

But some were shot in the leg in the process of jumping by the assasins.

One of the assasins finally broke the door and entered the house, tow entered and one remained outside shooting any cops that attempts climbing the fence.

Tony turned around and saw Maria.

‘Maria, what are you doing here? Will you get inside your room now? Get in fast and lock yourselves up!!’

Maria looked behind Tony and saw two gunmen pointing their guns at Tony. She screamed.
‘ahhhh!’

Tony turned back and saw them, all dressed in back. He immediately stood in front of Maria.
‘who are you?’ he asked. He wasnt the least scared at all. Maria stood at the back of her dad for protection with her hands over her mouth.

One of the men corked his gun ‘we are assasins sent to kill you’
Tony nodded ‘i see. So what do you want?’
‘your head’
Tony laughed ‘go back to whoever sent you, tell the person that you didnt succeed now. You better go now before i change my mind’
The masked gunmen exchanged glances.

Two cops tiptoed behind them, snatched their guns and pushed then down,they were taken off guard.
‘arrest them and make sure they confess who sent them’ Tony said firmly.
‘yes sir!’
‘and make sure no one is around my house’
‘yes sir!’
‘and….i want to know if my gateman is safe’
‘he was shot sir. My men are taking his body to the mortuary’
‘WHAT?!’ Tony couldnt believe his ears. Aliyu, his gateman dead?
‘we shall take our leave now’ one of the cops said as they took the handcuffed and unmasked assasins outside.

Maria couldnt sleep again that night. What if the assasins return? Some policemen were still outside. They would stay all night to ensure that nothing happens again. But still, her spirit wasnt at rest.

The next morning, Tony came into her room. She frowned on seeing him.
‘good morning dad’ she greeted relunctantly.
‘good morning Maria. Are you okay? Were you hurt yesterday?’

Maria looked at him ‘do you care? I thought you dont care about me anymore’
‘Maria, i asked you a question. Are you okay?’
‘do you know how scared i was last night? Did you even try to comfort me? Even when everything died down, did you even ask me how i was? Of not for Alice, i would have slept in your room, because i was so scared, i couldnt sleep.

And now you come here and ask me if i’m okay? Do i look okay to you?’
Tony sighed ‘well, sorry about that? But dont try to blame Alice for that. Its all your fault’
‘how is all that my fault?’
