Must Read: Memoirs Of Dying And Living

Essien was also smart to realise that his family had more to gain by being in alliance with Chido’s group than against them.

Chido quietly concurred but said nothing.

Then came the business of the day. They discussed terms, liabilities and expenses.

Then they all agreed that an alliance was well in place and would be advantageous for Essien group. But what that meant was that Essien’s group was to be loyal to Chido’s and not question any orders and would be available if needed.

In return they were to be financially taken care of and would be included in any runs, jobs of security and what not.

The day ended by Essien turning over the so much disputed packages to Chido’s group as they all shook hands satisfied.

As chido, Ben and Boneface prepared to leave. Essien asked “word has it that blacksoul is on ur watchlist”. Ben froze on hearing those word, then he said “if u already know then he would have heard too”.

Essien smiled and replied “Ben u were always too smart for ur own good. Be careful, blacksoul knows u guys are in town. It is trap…….”.

His words sent chills down Chido’s spine, pure unadulterated chills that made the hairs on Chido’s back stand up and firm.

Ben was obviously pained and from the tilt of his head Chido could tell he too was pained. The only person not affected or that didn’t show emotion was Boneface. Boneface just stood all and firm and like his quiet popular name his face was hard and boned.

No one spoke for sometime till Ben’s fone ring. He stepped aside briefly to answer and returned to tell em they had to move. Tonie had landed and was still waiting 4 em at the tarmac.

They concluded quickly, took their package, got into the car and screeched away hurrying to the airport VIP area to meet Tonie and his crew.

No one spoke as they drove. The information that Ibinabo and his crew could be drawing them out was depressing enof. Chido knew things could get crazy fast and from the looks of things real soon. He knew they had to prepare cos the poo had just hit the fan.

No one spoke as they drove. The information that Ibinabo and his crew could be drawing them out was depressing enof. Chido knew things could get crazy fast and from the looks of things real soon. He knew they had to prepare cos the cat was already outa the bag and one does not chase a black goat in darkness.

Arriving they narrated all that had happened so far to Tonie. Tonie listened quietly only loosing alittle colour as it dawned on him that Blacksoul was probably drawing them out, scheming behind the scenes, waiting for them to make their move b4 he showed his hands.

Tonie sighed briefly and said “this is bad. This would go outa hand b4 we can do anything about it. I want a meeting of all trusted parties here tomorrow morning b4 I fly back to Abuja. I have informed Phython that he needs to be present. We will go from there after we speak. Say lets all meet by 6 am and after we are done I will fly back”.

He discharged them as a call came into his fone, he answered it “Hello Dad, yes am using the jet……..” and he walked away living them to stand by the small jet that brought him.

They made their way back to Boneface’s HQ all tired and fagged out and hit the bar to discuss more. The situation was dearing, ibinabo had come to be a thorne in their flesh which was festering like pus without control.

“How do they get ahead of this situation” Chido asked himself not knowing that he had spoken out aloud. “What situation?” He heard someone ask close to his ears.

On turning he saw Cynthia standing standing there in her trademark stance in a pretty cute skimpy gown. One leg positioned forward to its advantage in a bead to show her shaven clean spot free legs.

Her skimpy gown was high up her thigh and she looked a goddess to behold, breathtaking and Chido knew that she knew that too.

It seemed she was prepared to also play the part aswell as she swayingly walked over to chido, lightly placed a well manicured hand on his shoulder.

He was more worried about other things but being a worldly guy he suspected she was here for a purpose. He wasn’t sure what that purpose was but he hopped she would tell him soon so he could go back to worrying about how things may play out in the next few hours.

Cynthia pouts her mouth as she asked “won’t u ask me to join u?” But when Chido didnt reply she sat down and asked “Hey, u look down. What’s up.
Anything I can do”.

Chido replied “how did u guys find out about blacksoul?”
