We bought the high tech Communication device and other modern technological tool that could enhance our activity. I also bought several cars for our operations.
After getting a little bit of financial stability, I focused on my second task which was ;to make sure my group members who experienced some kind of injustice ranging from being raped,defiled,denied some compensations , being bullied or frame were given justice. At least nine people officially reported their issues to me and I promised to help them deal with the perpetrators.
As part of our agreement, I pledged to offer protection to Toby.
For three weeks , we have been doing that without any major event.
Then one day…. Toby went to visit his daughter at the temple. After an hour, he left the temple a happy man.
{Third Person Narration}
Toby was contemplating on Mike. There was something about him that he couldn’t laid his hands on. but he believed he He said, “How come I didn’t see these attributes when he came to work in my house as a common houseboy. Surely, I will support him to bring down that Judas called…”
His reflection was interrupted by his driver.
“Sir, I’m afraid we are being followed by that Mini Van. He looked at the car through the rear view mirror. It really looked like the car was unto them. Toby was in the car with only four body guards but could they protect him from Zolabin’s hoodlums?
He doubted if Hoxelle could protect him from his enemy. He had done that on several occasions. “God, help me,” he said.
John stepped on the accelerator and began speeding. At a bushy junction, another car suddenly materialised from the adjacent road. They have been cornered. Since the car blocked their lane, John had no option than to screech to a halt.
Now he was caught in the middle, the pursuing car at the back, and the other car at the front. He closed his eyes. He knew he was caught in the middle. His bodyguards stepped down and began engaging the hoodlums in a fierce gun battle, two facing the mini van at the back and the other two facing the Land Rover at the front.
There were four men in the mini van and four men in the Land Rover. Toby took his own pistol and began to fire. They returned fire for fire!Kpaaa,!!Kpaaaa!!!Kpaaaa!!!!KpaKpa!!!!
Kpa!!!, kpoooooo!!!!!kpam!!!!Bishhhh!!!”
He realised his men were under heavy fire. John,the driver decided to assist. Five against eight.
In the cross fire, John was hit on the shoulder with a bullet. They used the car as a protective shield. Toby delved into the car to call Mike for assistance but a bullet pierced through the rear window of the car and hit his hand.
The phone dropped and smash on the ground. Two of his men firing at the rear were taken out by the hoodlums. With the back now defenceless, the men advanced on him .
With John hit on the shoulder and two of his body guards lying on the ground defenceless, he have no other option than to surrender.
One of his two bodyguards take out one of Zolabin’s men but he was gunned down.
His last body guard put down his gun too. He didn’t want to be killed. The men from the two sides zoomed in on him. One was making a call….probably to Zolabin. They were just 30 metres from him now.
They didn’t attempt to shoot him instantly. Maybe they wanted to take him to Zolabin to be tortured before being killed. He knelt down and put his hands behind his back. One of the robbers ordered him, STAND UP!!! You motherfu*r”
He stood up and the thug pointed his revolver on his head. He could see the revolver’s multiple chambers. The gangster was rotating the barrel into position with its cartridge. It was ready . He got ready to fire. Toby knew the end had come for him. He heard a gunshot ” BANG!”
[ Mike’s Point Of View ]
My men saw a strange car tailing Toby’s car. I was intuitive and decided to tail them and see where exactly they were going to.
“Joe,”turn round and follow that Minivan.
Joe turned and followed the car.
I followed the car until I saw a sign post which indicated a junction.
Then my eyes caught the scene. I saw a Jeep blocked the lane of a white land cruiser. I have seen that white land cruiser a few hours ago. It belonged to Toby.
Quickly I realised he had been ambushed. I alerted my escorts and told them to prepare for a hostile encounter.
No sooner had I given the warning than I saw Toby’s men being shot. One of the hoodlums was aiming a gun at Toby. He was about to pull the trigger but I took him out with my silencer. He fell onto the ground with his face downward.
We caught the rear men by surprise.They ended up dead. All four of them.
The other four gangsters blocking the car from the front engaged in a shot out with my gang and hit Cozbi on the chest but Flexion and thunder returned fire for fire. They fired like wild beast. Series of bullets ricocheted on the body of their car.
We engaged them for five minutes. All those times,Toby crawled and hid very close to his car. The fuel tank was leaking.
I signalled to Toby to leave that spot but for some strange reason he seemed not to understand me. Hmmm. I have to do something.
Zolabin’s men realised the situation.They wanted to shoot the fuel tank and set the car ablaze.
At that moment I went into action. It happened like I was in an action movie.
“Flexion, Thunder,cover me.!!! I want to take Toby from that spot before they hit his fuel tank.
I ran like Usain bolt. My men covered me,restricting Zolabin’s men to the spot closer to their cars. Despite the restriction I saw Razak and Eastman trying to devise another means to shoot the fuel tank.
Razak went round their jeep using the Jeep as a cover. I increased my pace. Upon reaching Toby’s car,I lifted him from the ground before I realised he had a nasty wound on his thigh. I managed to put him on my back and ran quickly away from his car just in time before the fuel tank was hit. The car burst into flames ,the inferno was so strong that it’s impact smacked me onto the ground with Toby on top of me.
Razak,Eastman and another two of his men then entered their car and sped off.
