“Hurry up with it…” She barked.
Benny st©pped, looked up at her and said.
“Is either you believe me or you don’t but I’m not pu-lling off my shi-t just for you to satisfy your curiosity. I said the wristband is a gift from my student and I’m not wearing any wire. Is either you believe me or you don’t but I’m not going to go extra just to prove a point. You have tried me throu-gh different means and I proved my loyalty and if you still don’t trust me then you have to deal with yourself because I’m not the problem…”
Bianca was quiet while still pointing the gun at him.
She lowered it and said.
“You have a point Benny my love. Indeed I tried you throu-gh different means, do you know that your car has a tracker which I used to monitor your movement and communication. Well, so far I haven’t seen anything untrustful. But I know you are a very intelligent professors and maybe pla-ying a game but you haven’t given me any reason not to trust you. Alright then, prove your loyalty further by going over to your ex wife and tell her to her face everything you wanted to tell her before. You know things like she’s a barren wicked ugly old looking witch…stuffs like that. Go on…”
Benny looked towards his wife, she eyed him and looked away.
“I can’t. She is alre-ady in terrible pain Bianca. There’s no nee-d to…”
“Shut up Benny…” Bianca interrupted
“…if you don’t then I will kill her right now in your pres£nce…”
Benny moved closer to his wife, she stood in between her and Bianca. re-ady for anything.
“You will have to kill me first Bianca before getting to my wife…”
“So be it. You just betrayed me by calling her your wife. And for every betrayal you will get a bullet and at the end she will still die in my hands…” Bianca said.
Benny sight Geni coming in gradually with a heavy stick while Bianca was backing the door and facing them.
Benny wish he can discourage Geni, to avoid her getting hurt but if he makes any suspecious move Bianca may turn and see her.
He decided to buy more time by saying the things he had always wanted to say to Bianca.
“You know what Bianca, you nee-d serious help. You have turned yourself into a monster. An obsessed, controlling freak. You are the real definition of evil. Behind all this pretty face and smile is a devil’s incarnate, a cold, ha-rd en criminal that nee-ds to stay far from human. Living with animals will still be dre-adful because you deserve to be locked away. You portray danger to all living things. You’re a lost soul Bianca… you nee-d help, but most importantly you nee-d Jesus. It’s a pity that we are caught in your dangerous web and unknowingly bec@m£ your victims but my God, The living God I trust and serve will come throu-gh for us, you won’t get away with all your atrocious act. You maybe doing so before but this will be different. I don’t hate you rather I feel so much pity for you. You could have used your sweet smile, beautiful outward appearance to t©uçh lives positively, but instead you decide to use it for wickedness. Causing more damage and adding to the kingdom of darkness. I can only pray that God forgives you and give every one that you have caused so much pain ability to do the same… because is ha-rd …so difficult”
Bianca gave a loud yawning to Benny and said.
“, That was the most boring farewell speech I have ever heard. I don’t nee-d anyone’s forgiveness. You all can go to hel..lll..”
Just then she saw someb©dy was about to hit her with an object throu-gh a wall shadow.
Bianca quic-kly turned and sh0t at the person.
Geni screamed and fell to the ground.
She quic-kly turned to Benny, pointed gun at him.
“….we have had enough petty talk. I gave you a wi-de room to express your pathetic self, we are done talking Benny. I will shoot your wife first so that I will enjoy the pain as you watch her die. After which you will be the last but first of all hand over all those gadget. Because is quiet obvious that you have never been mine. I know that you probably have a recording device on you and my reasons for keeping quiet is because the network around here is disconnected. Is not working. So even if my prisoners try to make a call from an invisible phone it won’t go throu-gh. Okay, We have had enough Chic chat. Time for action and you will watch me with your dying eyes walk out of here freely…”
She moved towards Dorcas, Benny hushed her out of fear and said.
“plea-se, plea-se Bianca don’t shoot her. I will call her demeaning names, I will hand all devices over to you. We won’t press any charges against you. I will do anything you want me to do and become anything you wish…all I ask is that you spare the Life of my wife… I’m begging you plea-se. I know there’s still some humanity in your heart…”
“I told you that we’re done talking Benny”
Bianca said and fired at Dorcas, Benny quic-kly jumped in before the bullet could hit her.
It hit him instead on the shoulder, he staggered back and remain standing as blood began to fill up his b©dy.
Bianca made another attempt but something hit her ha-rd on the head
It was Geni that used her remaining strength to struck her with a stick.
She fell to the ground and the gun fell off her hand.
Benny went over to his wife to help her get up
Bianca winced in pain and made move to gr-ab the gun.
Dorcas pointed at the gun and asked Benny to go get it.
Before Benny will turn to do that, Bianca had alre-ady gr@bb£d the gun.
She was in serious pain from Geni’s hit.
Bianca managed to get up and as she was about to shoot Benny this time.
A voice st©pped her from behind
“,Drop the gun”
It was the police.
Bianca was startled but got back her balance as a gun was pointed behind her head
Benny stood, praying and kept beseeching God to intervene.
Bianca refused to drop the gun, just as she pu-ll-ed the trigger to shoot Benny one of the police sh0t her twice and she fell heavily to the ground.
They retrieved the gun from her as she l@ylifelessly.
Benny who was angry that the police didn’t show up on time charged at them.
“You all took forever before getting here, despite we had all of this planned out alre-ady. Were you waiting for her to kill us all before showing up. She almost succeeded with that…”
“, well, she didn’t succeed at the end. I’m sorry for the delay…it appears we trailed you to the first track and realized it was her car that wasn’t in use. We followed the second signal from the wristband but I guess it malfunctioned. It was somehow tampered with because we loose trailed. We couldn’t ascertain your exact location at some point. We began searching and finally got here. We apologise for that. plea-se the premedics are outside with an ambulance. For quic-k first aid treatment…”
Geni who was badly injured was quic-kly wheeled to the ambulance.
They st©pped the blood and as-sured her that she will be alright.
Dorcas was also wheeled out.
Benny’s bullet wound was checked, he was lucky that it was not de-ep. It was more like a bruise.
After every checking and applying first-aid, the ambulance and the whole police cars, including Benny’s car drove off.
The whole building was sealed up as the police were determined to bring anyone
Involved with Bianca to book.
Benny sat beside his wife as they were being taken to the hospital.
“I can’t believe you sle-pt with that mentally deranged girl”
Dorcas who haven’t said much, finally said to Benny.
Benny turned to her surprised.
“Of all the whole things to be worried about why this? We should be thanking God for saving us honey. Nothin else matters to me now. Beside I never sle-pt with Bianca. It was only k!ss!ngand that was because I had to do anything possible to know where she was keeping you. To be able to rescue you. Your safety was all I was after…It was paramount to me. It was just a k!ssnothing else and I hated it with pas-sion but had no choice…”
Dorcas made a face and replied.
“, You k!$$£d the devil herself and called it “just” you baffles me Benny…”.
“, For Christ sake should we be discussing this right now? Are you not happy to be free at last? Okay… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry…I had no choice honey. I’m happy to have you back alive, your health will be attended to properly ones we get to the hospital..I’m sorry for everything.. plea-se forgive me…”
Dorcas did not say anything.
After sometime she replied
“My concern now is that you will still want k!ssme with same mouth that you used in k!ss!ngher. Right now, I wish there’s an artificial b©dy p@rt… like mouth sold in the super markets. It would have been nee-dful…”
Benny looked at her shocked and suddenly bur-st into laughter not minding his pain.
Dorcas joined in the laughter as she hit him right on his wound.
He winced a little and gently gr@bb£d her hands and k!$$£d them as the ambulance speed on”
