Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 104
I sat beside Sandra thinking who would have done this to her, looking at her beautiful face i felt really hurt and wished the worse things to whosoever inflicted her with such pain. Suddenly, my phone rang, it as Jacky.
What does he want? I thought to myself, and then ignored his call and put my phone on silent. I was just resting my back on my seat when a text message beeped. I looked at it, and it read. MAN, ZIKA KILLED BRUNO. WHERE ARE YOU? WE NEED TO FINISH THIS, CALL ME. This was the last thing i ever wanted at this moment. Suddenly, Sandra started shaking, i rushed over to her, she opened her eyes and coughed blood. Held me so firmly on my wrist opening her eyes so wide like she was terrified. I pulled her hand off me and ran to fetch the doctor.
Outside the door, The man earlier stood beside the door, he held me and pulled me back when i came out of the room.
“whats it?” He inquired intensively.
“i don’t know whats wrong” i said, removed his hand my shirt and ran screaming the doctors name.
I met the doctor at the hall way, he looked at me as one who saw a ghost. I held him on his both arms and pulled him towards Sandra’s ward.
“what’s it” The doctor asked terrified.
“I don’t know whats wrong with her, come right away”. I said pulling the smallish man along with no care the effect on him.
We got into her ward and he pressed her back to the bed as she was jerking up. He pulled his stethoscope and placed it on her chest using the other hand to push her back.
“call the nurses” The doctor screamed.
I was about rushing out when two nurses barged in and helped the doctor forcing Sandra back on the bed. I bled deep down watching this, I was restless praying to God whom i have never spoken to for a long time.
“get out, get out” The doctor said.
I and the other man were pushed out of the room. I sat couldn’t seat, i was walking around, placing my ear on the key hole often to at least know the progress in there.
After about 3 minutes later watching the nurses rushing out and rushing in with different tools. They suddenly came out with Sandra rolled on a stretcher and oxygen placed on her nose.
“whats going on?” I asked holding the doctor on his lab suit.
“we are taking her to the theater” he said and pulled his suit from my grip and hurried off with the nurses.
John sat calmly looking at me steadily, I decided to ignore him and sit on the floor.
We waited for for about an hour to get a response from the doctors but got nothing, the nurses kept rushing in and out with no word to us. Suddenly the doctor came out sweating profusely. I ran to him with John following behind.
“how is she?” I asked.
“The doctor looked at me and then to John in a droopy face. I knew something was wrong. I pulled him hard to myself and inquired seriously speaking through a clinched teeth.
“what’s going on?”
“Am sorry” the doctor said.
“sorry for what?” I asked feeling my heart exploding.
“The bullet affected some vital organs, she didn’t make it “. He said trying in vain to loosing my grip.
I didn’t know when i lifted him off the ground with my grip firmly on his suit, and threw him some distance away from me. He feel rolling over. I was going to smash his head with my feet when John pulled me back. I then realized what i was about to do refrained myself. I saw the horror in the doctors face as he stood up.
“am sorry” i said.
He shook his head and hurried off. I didn’t know when i screamed, picked up a plastic chair and smashed it on the wall. John quickly grabbed me and held me tight. I pushed him off me and landed several punches on the wall. The people around moved far away from me.
“pull yourself together!” John screamed.
I moved away from the wall and discovered i had bruised my knuckles. That was when i noticed people looking at me in fright.
I was walking down my area when someone called my name at the local bar. I looked towards the direction, and found a familiar face putting on a black jacket on a yellow t shirt, a blue jean and a black boot. But couldn’t place where i had seen that face before.
“so you are Mike?” The guy said.
I smelled trouble, but didn’t show any fright instead anger engulfed me.
“who are you?” I asked.
He started walking towards me, I noticed two other guys walking behind him.
“i am Zika” he said grinning maliciously.
The name sent a cold chill down my spine. I suddenly saw death lurking around me as he slowly approached and his two companion stared at me with kill calling in their eyes.
“what do you want?”I managed to fake boldness.
“you!” he said. “you heard of Bruno right? that dude is one chicken hearted fool”. He said pulling out a gun from his waist and hid it in his jacket so that only i can see it.
When i saw the gun, i knew i had to act fast. I got nothing on me, he has the advantage, two guys to one. I was almost giving up when something whispered to my ears “don’t go down without a fight”. And that some how brought a spark in me.
“Stop talking and get it over with” I said moving slowly closer to him.
“stop right there!” He said.”move!”. He commanded.
“where?” I asked.
“follow him” He said pointing to one of his members.
He moved away from me and said.
“move”
I knew i got no chance with them there, so i followed the guy in front as he started towards the bush. A neighbor came out of the kiosk bar and called.
“Mike! any problem?”
“No, nothing. Chill i’ll be back” I said, trying to avoid any kind of brouhaha in my street.
And so i followed the lead entering the bush thinking of how i can get myself off the poo i am in.
