Must Read: Memoirs Of Dying And Living

The silence deepened till Phython spoke “we could all go underground for sometime and coordinate but have people fronting 4 us like we did during the Dangari scandal”.

Blackmamba interrupted nodding in pythons direction “yes, thats a wonderful idea. When we resurface it should be to strike, to hit the nail on the head”. The rest agreed readily cos they now knew things had gotten outa hand and Ibinabo would be coming 4 them too.

Blackmamba looked the 10 guys in the small room and said “Blood 4 blood, life 4 life”. The rest repeated the words in a chorus as they dispersed.

As the group disbanded Chido walked over to blackmamba to speak with him about going back to Grace’s home but blackmamba told him “u are now on a loan to Tonie. 4 now he is ur capone. When u have learned what u need to learn u come back to family. I will keep Grace busy while u are away”.

Chido asked him “why?”

Chido asked him “why?”

Blackmamba replied “obedience b4 self ma broda. We decided to upgrade u. U will be my triggerman”.

As blackmamba spoke those words he walked away leaving Chido standing staring back at him.
………………………………………
“What does a triggerman do”? Chido asked Ben innocently. Ben looked at him with an expression that said “this one na really jjc”

Then he surprised himself by saying “u really don’t know do u”? Ben liked this handsome cool faced non smiling serious looking youngman. He had really stared liking Chido after that incident in Ghana when Chido had come thru 4 him. He felt Chido was still too rough on the edges but he also felt Chido had real potential to become a hardman. He noticed Chido had a cool expression on his face in the face of danger, he learnt fast and he had ways with the women.

Chido reminded Ben of someone a long time ago. His younger broda who was executed assassination style at the hands of Ibinabo.

Ben had a personal vendetta on this one and he knew it. But to pull this innocent faced boy into it was heart breaking.

Ben made up his mind then to teach Chido all he needed to know. “If he was going to live the life he might as well learn the walk” Ben thought to himself.

Ben was still thinking aloud when Chido surprised him by asking “what is the Dangari scandal? What happened there?”
